"Hopkins & Delaney, LLC"

[ Telephone ringing ] Man: Could you book me a flight to Texas from the 1st to the 14th?

[ Telephone ringing, indistinct talking ] Woman: Thank you for calling Hopkins & Delaney.

How may I help you?

Man: Hi.

Could I talk to Mr. Smith, please?

Woman: Hold on one second.

Let me check and see if he's available.

-James: How you doing?

-Man: Okay.

Woman: Sir, Mr. Pinto's ready for you in 1.

I'm afraid he's in a meeting... Pinto: Strangely enough, strangely enough.

If your kid gets in a bad accident, you don't want his backpack strewn about.

You want the backpack to stay on your child so that you can locate his objects, his books, and perhaps his identification, if there's a death.

Man: James.

Hi.

We're -- We're just started on 97.

-Pinto: James.

-Man: Uh... Could you guys excuse me for a moment?

Uh, thanks, guys.

Woman: ...suit being filed for harassment and a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your... Pinto: Vesuvius is a market head-hunting software that connects investment opportunities, uh, based on, um, natural and man-made catastrophic events.

Uh, you've probably seen me around the firm, uh, the last few days.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Yeah, sport, you're probably wondering, "Who's that?

You mean Ed Pinto of Vesuvius?

Oh, my God.

The Ed Pinto?"

It'd be like that episode of "Friends," you know, with the computer guy.

James: You were just working a little bit on your -- on the appearance of it.

Pinto: That's gonna have specific impact on specific products related to that.

Vesuvius knows that.

Vesuvius sees that.

Vesuvius sees how many hits are on that.

What products, what objects are connected to particular screams?

These are the kinds of things that Vesuvius can track.

Man: And when you -- when you added the streaming videos to the side bar, there wasn't any other trading programs out there with similar functionality.

Pinto: They're pulling it with a-a, uh, um, a Subaru Outback.

Subaru Outbacks are gonna -- are gonna sell from that image -- from that image, because it becomes a savior vehicle.

Man: Come October, we're gonna move a team down to Texas to be on-site.

And by that second hearing -- Pinto: I'm sorry, but this feels like this is going on, uh, forever.

[ Chuckles ] [ Telephone ringing ] Um, who's -- who's up for, um, going and getting a drink?

I am.

[ Telephone ringing ] Woman: Thank you for calling Hopkins & Delaney.

Our offices are currently closed.

If you'd like to reach an attorney, please dial the -- Pinto: Well, guess what.

That means something.

In Japan, people are gonna want to buy heavier cars.

They would rather their car fill with water and stay where it is than float around like a little -- like a little fisherman's bobber.

Man: You see, it's just that my shifts keep switching around.

I-I've been having to do a lot of work at -- at night.

See, let me tell you.

A friend of mine had a lot of success with this Modafinil.

Man #2: Well, how about this?

I can give you a little bit of something, and we can figure it out from there.

Man #1: Yeah?

Okay.

Thank you.

Great.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Man: Texas judges are extremely patent-holder friendly, so if this thing does go to trial, that's where we're gonna go.

But 9 times out of 10... Pinto: I have to -- I have to use the bathroom, so... [ Toilet flushes ] [ Copier whirring ] Man: Um, I actually don't think we're gonna be able to make it tonight.

Yeah, we got a client who's, um, taking up pretty much everyone's night.

Um, but maybe Saturday?

[ Cellphone vibrates, quacks ] Man: Damn it.

Hello?

Hey, no.

Just finishing up lunch.

Pinto: ...on YouTube and saw the small, little cars floating down, um, the streets in the flow of river during that -- that terrible, terrible disaster, the Japanese tsunami.
