Geoffrey Blake: Oscar Weber

Quotes 

• Weber : Why isn't she in her uniform?

  Chunk : Oh, we can do that, if you want to make this look like a military tribunal.

  Dr. Jason Bull : In court, we want her to look like a human being, not a pilot. Mr.Weber, I heard you were in the office.

  Weber : Taylor, I know Dr. Bull has convinced you that he has some sort of magic formula that will make a jury see past the facts and exonerate you.

  Dr. Jason Bull : Chunk, would you give us a second? And, uh, - tell Benny I need to see him.

  Weber : While Dr. Bull has been searching for biases, I've been in touch with the airline, who are negotiating a settlement with the plaintiffs.

  Captain Taylor Mathison : A settlement?

  Weber : Yes. It's a very generous offer to the victims' family, as it should be, and it protects you from any financial liability.

  Captain Taylor Mathison : What do you need from me?

  Weber : I need you to agree to the findings of the NTSB report.

  Dr. Jason Bull : The report that finds her at fault.

  Captain Taylor Mathison : And if I do that, I'll be reinstated?

  Dr. Jason Bull : No. Fired. And unemployable and never able to fly again.

  Weber : She killed 62 people.

  Dr. Jason Bull : No, Oscar. An airplane crash killed 62 people, not your client. Marissa mentioned you were pushing for a settlement. That struck her, because even though she's a woman, she's quite good with numbers. So, she had Cable, also a woman, also good with computers, do some digging. It seems that your contract with Taylor stipulates the less the airline pays the families, the more your firm makes. That seems like a conflict of interest, but then again, you have all that office space to pay for. That's why I hate lawyers. That's my bias.

  Captain Taylor Mathison : So you have a financial incentive for me to settle?

  Dr. Jason Bull : It's called a reverse contingency fee. It's how the airline controls damages.
