Ally Mcbeal on Lonliness
  
             Ally Mcbeal may not be your fav. dramedy, but for me, it's
 the best.  There's this episode case in Episode 19 (Happy Birthday,
 Baby), which is about a guy, Henderson, entered his girlfriend's home
 without her permission and started to lick her toes while she was
 asleep -- his fetish.  His girlfriend on discovery, was pissed off 
 and dissapointed, thinking that he's a pervert and sued him.  Ally
 was his defendant lawyer, she made one of those brilliant closing 
 that was debatable, arguable and it really strikes at us.  Below is a 
 full transcript of the closing that she made, the defendant was
 announced  -- not guilty.  Her closing, talking about lonliness and love 
 applies to most gen X-ers and all of those who belonged to this fast-laned
 society, it's quite a brilliant closing there, and do we all know that
 it was David E. Kelly who wrote it :P  By the way, E Kelly was a
 lawyer before he became a producer, writer.

 Closing
 This isn't about feet, whether is ok to be sexually attracted to
 them.  This case isn't about that, it's about his entering without
 being invited.  It was stupid.  
  
 Mr Henderson pleads not guilty by reason of insanity, not legal
 insanity but,...one that can actually be more powerful, --  LONLINESS.
  
 You know what's the most common insanity going today is?  It is the
 idea that love will come to you even if you do nothing!  "Oh, the
 right one will come along, it'll happen, you just wait," well who the
 hell came up with that!  How many couples do you know, how many
 friends do you have, that you can truly say, the right one came
 along?  You talk to most people and they will tell you that the right
 one slipped away!
  
 My point, ask anybody what they want the most, -- is LOVE.
  
 We all agree, personal happiness is much more important than our
 careers and yet look at what we do with the hours of our lives, the
 days...?  Nobody really applies themselves to their personal lives, 
 we just sit back and assume that it will take care of itself.  
  
 Well, sometimes it doesn't.
  
 It wasn't happening for Mr. Henderson and instead of letting things
 take their course, he got assertive.  Too assertive, no question and
 I'm sure he regrets it but... sometimes, the things that you regret
 the most, are the things that you don't do.
