[Benny has serve some danishes on the plate. Ann ask Benny how his show of The Wizard of Oz going so far]
Ann Kelsey : So, Benny, how's the show going?
Benny Stulwicz : Good.
Stuart Markowitz : You're shopping for an agent yet?
Benny Stulwicz : No.
[Benny felt bad. And he left the meeting]
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : What's with him?
Leland McKenzie : Can we get started?
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Cavanaugh vs. Smyth.
Michael Kuzak : We go today. It's gonna be a tough one.
Arnie Becker : I'm surprised you're even taking it to trial.
Michael Kuzak : Well, outing makes some people pretty mad, Arnie, and particularly the outee.
Jonathan Rollins : What is outing?
Michael Kuzak : There are some gay activists, like the defendant, who believe in forcing other gays to come out of the closet. Sometimes it's gay politicians who don't support gay causes, other times it's just people that they want everyone to know are gay.
Abby Perkins : Sounds nasty.
Michael Kuzak : Yeah, well, the defendant has freedom of the press on his side. What was published was true, so it's not libel. It's probably not invasion of privacy, either, since my guy was a public figure.
Ann Kelsey : Which is why he was outed in the first place.
Michael Kuzak : Right.
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Well, when a couple of queens get mad each other, look out.
Michael Kuzak : These are not queens, Douglas. One is a cop, the other is a journalist. And they are both gays, but they're not queens.

Leland McKenzie : Is there anything else we need to cover?
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Actually, that's it.
Michael Kuzak : Uh, just a second. It's no secret that I have been interviewing with a Wall Street firm, I've decided to go back to New York.
[Abby and Victor didn't notice]
