That's a veal roast, Your Honor. USDA approved and stamped. Men kill animals and eat their flesh. Philippe Moyez killed a goat. He killed a goat. And he did it at home... in a manner consistent with his religious beliefs. Now, Mr. Merto may find that bizarre. It's certainly not a religious practice performed by everyone. It's not as common as, say... circumcision. It's not as common as the belief that... wine transforms into blood. Some people handle poisonous snakes to prove their faith. Some people walk on fire. Philippe Moyez killed a goat. And he did it... while observing his constitutionally protected... religious beliefs. Your Honor, this case is not about keeping goats... or transporting goats or goat licensing. The city was less concerned with the care of the animals... than the manner with which they were slaughtered. Objection! Okay. Enough, enough. I got it. Let's wrap it up. Your Honor... the city timed this police action to catch my client... exercising his constitutionally protected right to religious freedom. This is a law protecting kosher butchering. Exactly, Your Honor. I'd like to move at this time for a verdict of dismissal. I happen to know a little bit about kashruth law, Mr. Lomax. I'm aware of that, Your Honor. That's why I feel confident in requesting a dismissal.

Outstanding. Go figure it, a guy like Moyez... living in some subterranean shithole... all the while he's walking around with $15 million in the bank. You're kidding. What do you think he's paying us in? Goat's blood? Tarzan, we're billing you out at 400 an hour, my friend. I don't see a whole lot of pro-bono work in your immediate future. I figured you came down to make sure I didn't fuck this up. Maybe I did. Don't get too cocky, my boy. No matter how good you are... don't let them see you coming. That's the gaffe, my friend. You've gotta keep yourself small. Innocuous. Be the little guy. You know, the nerd, the leper... the shitkicking surfer. Look at me. Underestimated from day one. You'd never think I was a master of the universe, would you?
