Quotes
-
Corrinne Hammond : Randy and I were childhood sweethearts.
[offered a cup of tea]
Corrinne Hammond : Thanks. He was literally the boy next door. We got married and had Chloe while he was still in design school. For about 5 years, everything was great.
Arnie Becker : When did things start to go wrong?
Corrinne Hammond : Right about the time he started making money. I helped him finish school, helped him build his business, but my own ambitions on hold. But he was this great architect now. Nothing else mattered.
Arnie Becker : What do you wanna do?
Corrinne Hammond : What do I wanna do?
Corrinne Hammond : It's your call.
Corrinne Hammond : Probably wanna run him over with a car. The problem is we have a 7-year-old daughter who loves us both. So what I think I need to do is to resolve this thing as quickly and peacefully as possible. Okay?
Arnie Becker : Whatever you want. I will need a $7,500 retainer from you.
Corrinne Hammond : Okay.
Arnie Becker : And today, not tomorrow, today, we changed the locks on your house.
Corrinne Hammond : Is that really necessary?
Arnie Becker : It is if you have anything you don't want him to take.
Corrinne Hammond : I don't think Randy would do that. Who do I make this out to?
Arnie Becker : McKenzie Brackman. You have a key to his place?
Corrinne Hammond : No.
Arnie Becker : Why should he have a key to yours?
Corrinne Hammond : Just seems a little drastic. I don't know.
Arnie Becker : Deal from strength, Corrinne. That's the way to resolve this quickly.
Corrinne Hammond : All right.
[Handover the check]
Corrinne Hammond : I'll change the locks. But I want you to understand, divorced or not, to our daughter, we're still a family.
Arnie Becker : What does that say?
Corrinne Hammond : [Reading] "Arnold Becker, Family Law."
Arnie Becker : I am nothing if not sensitive.
