Quote context

[...]

- How about you?

- Well, I got a bullshit traffic ticket. I went to court. I got the cop on the stand, and I argued with him until he admitted he was wrong.

- And the judge, all the while, he's laughin' and smilin'. And then afterwards, he asked me to go to lunch with him.

- Then he says to me, You know what? You'd be a good litigator. I don't know what the hell he was talking about. I don't know what a litigator is.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

- I never thought of becoming a lawyer. But this judge was from Brooklyn too. I mean, he did it, so all of a sudden it seemed possible. So I went to law school.

- Then, from time to time, he would come by, see how I was doin', if I needed anything.

- He was a nice man. I mean, to go out of his way like that for me, you know?

- He wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, but he became a musician or something.

- I remember when I graduated, he was so proud of me.
