Freddy!

[Clears throat]

Freddy Bender, 
this is Rex Rexroth.

And you are the lovely Marylin.

Please, Ms. Rexroth.

And you must be Mr. Massey.

Please, Miles.

Sit, sit down.

[Groans]

Freddy, I was sorry to hear
about the Goldberger award.

- Pastry?
- [Wrigley giggling]

We did very well.

We did very well.

Not to worry, Mrs. Rexroth.
You're ably represented.

I'm sure Freddy's just too modest to tell
you he used to clerk for Clarence Thomas.

Pastry?
Going begging.

[Stammering]
Don't try to bait me, Miles.

Now, if you have a proposal
to make, let's hear it.

Well, at this point my client is still
prepared to consider reconciliation.

My client's ruled that out.

My client is prepared to entertain an amicable
dissolution to the marriage without prejudice.

That's a fart in a stiff wind.

My client proposes
a 30-day cooling-off period.

My client feels
sufficiently dispassionate.

My client asks that you not
initiate proceedings

pending his setting
certain affairs in order.

[Bender giggling]
[Marilyn scoffing]

[Miles mimicking laugh]

Oh, what's so goddamn funny?

Please, let me handle this.

All right.

So much for the ice-breakers.
What are you after, Freddy?

My client is prepared to settle
for 50 percent of the marital assets.

[Coughing] Why only 50, Freddy?
Why not a hundred?

While we're dreaming, why not 150?

- Are you familiar with Kershner?
- Kershner does not apply.

Bring this to trial,
we'll see if Kershner applies.

- What's Kershner?
- Please, let me handle this.

- Kershner was in Kentucky.
- Kershner was in Kentucky?

Kershner was in Kentucky!

All right, Freddy, forget Kershner.
What's your bottom line?

Primary residence,
30 percent of remaining assets.

What, are you nuts?
Have you forgotten Kershner?

[Smashing thud]

Freddy, it's a negotiation.

[Freddy]
See you at the preliminary.

Freddy, we're all friends here.

It's a negotiation.
[laughing]

Hey, uh...

Freddy!
[Door opens]

Fine. We'll eat the pastry.

[Door slammed shut]

[Music]

I thought that went well.
