201 Something's come up, and we need to talk. 202 Come on, Mom. l want to go play ! 203 And actually it's kind of important, so maybe we could talk tonight ? 204 - Tonight ? - Yes. 205 - Max's birthday party. - Oh ! Yeah. 206 Sure. Of course. We'll talk then. Great ! 207 - Maximus ! l'm outta here. - Bye, Dad. 208 Jerry, enjoy my wife. 209 - [ Chuckles Wickedly ] - [ Engine Starts ] 210 Hmm. 211 Well, this is good. 212 This is really smart. 213 - Thank you. - Only-- 214 Well, it's not true. Does that present a problem ? 215 Mrs. Cole, the only problem here... 216 is that after you've provided years of faithful service and loving support, 217 of raising his children-- they are his ? 218 Huh ? Oh. Yeah, yeah. One for sure. 219 After all that, your husband wants to deny you... 220 - a fair share of the assets based on one act of indiscretion. - Seven. 221 - Pardon me ? - Seven single acts of indiscretion. 222 Seven acts of indiscretion, 223 only one of which he has any evidence of... 224 and all of which he himself is responsible for. 225 - He is ? - Mrs. Cole. 226 You're the victim here. The wife of a cold, distant workaholic. 227 Starved for affection, driven into the arms of another man ! 228 - Seven. - Yeah, whatever ! 229 You're not trying to deny him what is rightfully his. 230 - All you're insisting on is what is rightfully yours. - Yeah. 231 And maybe a... [ Puffs ] fraction more. 232 l think you're bending over backwards. 233 Yeah. l did offer to give him joint custody of the kids. 234 He is, after all, a wonderful father. 235 And how does he repay you ? 236 By dragging you through a painful litigation process ! 237 No, no, no, no ! This can't happen ! 238 With all due respect, this isn't about you and Mr. Cole anymore. 239 This is about all women. 240 Where would Tina Turner be right now if she'd rolled over and said, 241 "Hit me again, lke, and put some stank on it ?" 242 Rolling on the river, that's where she'd be. 243 But she's beyond Thunderdome, because she decided to send a message. 244 Wake up, sisters ! There's no-o-o-o-o-o... 245 such thing as a weaker sex ! 246 [ Panting ] You know what ? 247 You're right, Mr. Reede. l am tired of getting kicked around ! 248 Good for you ! 249 Thank you. l am so grateful... 250 to have an attorney l can trust.
