Madame Hearsay and I have a trial... it was a case where the man cheats on his wife of over 20 years ... ditches her for his new girlfriend.... offers up personal property of the children to her to act like it's some generous gift when in reality.. he's giving his children their own cars and masquerading it as generosity toward his wife. After an extremely depressing quick settlement that dissolves a marriage full of lies, deceit, and pain... we get off the elevator... and there's IWC sitting outside the probate court..
His hair is long, greasy, and flowing down his shoulders into a sea of gray.... his mustache is also flowing down his face into his hair... and he's still wearing his goodyear shirt.. he's holding his cane across his wide open legs and he's staring blankly toward us. Madame Hearsay started waving like crazy attempting to get his attention...
"Stop it!!!" I yell, thinking the last thing we need is a visit by IWC this week.
"But... But it's Insane With a Cane!!!" She squeals.
"Noooo.... he will show up at the office if we wave at him." I say hesitantly.
We get back to the office where Prince Pro Bono quickly informs us that there are no worries because IWC is getting committed. He won't have to worry about being homeless because he's now going to be living at the crazy house....
Two days later the familiar red car pulls up. Princess Pearl, Princess Prima Donna, and I are discussing some case or subpoena. We scream to the office manager on the front porch "Stop smoking and get inside!!! Immediately!!!!" We lock the doors... close the blinds and run to the next door... Lock it as well.. Prince Pro Bono is so scared he runs outside... gets in his car... and gets ready to drive off in case IWC comes around the back of the office.
The phone rings.
Princess Prima Donna Answers, "Law Office.."
IWC mumbles, "Uh, is Prince Pro Bono there?"
Princess Prima Donna: "No he's out of town..."
IWC gets frustrated: "Will you tell him I have hearing next week and I need him to go to that hearing."
Princess Prima Donna: "Yes you have a Hearing on Wednesday on the commitment."
IWC: "I know. I checked myself out. Tell Prince Pro Bono I am not staying there and want to start a suit against them for committing me in the first place."
Princess Prima Donna starts laughing... but takes his number so we can act like Prince Pro Bono will take this seriously...
So now he's out... and he's angry...
