Sharon Kane and Sean Michaels On trial 4 1992 scene 1

And you may call me Mac, as this is an informal chat.

Mac, are you going to reprimand me

about how I handled the defense?

Because I just want to say I've only been a lawyer for a year.

No, no,...no.

You're fine.

In fact, I'm very impressed with your work.

That's one of the reasons why I want to have this chat with you.

You see, I'm moving up.

I've just been appointed to a federal judgeship,

and I'm going to be needing an assistant.

Would you be interested?

I don't know.

I never really thought much about it.

Well, think about it.

Good pay, a chance to meet the movers and shakers of Washington,

perks, and other fringe benefits.

I'm not really sure that I understand what you mean by that.

Oh, please, Emma.

Come, come now.

Let's not pretend to be naive.

We're both adults here.

I'm sure you've heard the rumors, alleged rumors,

of the superior size of a black man.

Is this a come on?

Of course not.

I would never think of -- are you wearing a wire, perchance?

No, of course not.

Do you swear?

It doesn't matter anyway.

You're not in a witness stand,

and an oath wouldn't be binding at this point anyway, now would it?
