In a posh-looking law office, Elizabeth nervously waits with her lawyer, played by Matt Craven; some of you may recall Mr. Craven as That One Ugly Doctor on the short-lived L.A. Doctors. He's Canadian. I seem to recall Glark's mom telling me at some point that she goes to the same beauty parlour as Matt Craven's mom. Anyway. A suited female assistant tells them that opposing counsel called from the car and that he's on his way. Matt Craven leafs through a magazine and looks generally unconcerned; he checks his watch and notes, "We'll wait another five minutes, and then we'll leave." Elizabeth says that she took the whole day off, and that she can stay, but Matt Craven tells her, "We shouldn't have to play these kinds of games." At that moment Opposing Counsel I Presume strides in and greets "Gordy" (Matt Craven); Matt Craven pointedly looks at his watch before standing and shaking his colleague's hand. Opposing Counsel is played by Zeljko Ivanek (and yes I know there is a diacritical mark over the Z but there is no such character in HTML), best known as D.A. Ed Danvers on Homicide. He shakes Elizabeth's hand and remarks, "They didn't tell me you were so stunning." She gazes at him serenely and he snorts, "That's okay, you don't have to respond!" He turns his back and Elizabeth shoots Matt Craven a "the fuck?" look. Danvers asks an underling whether the court reporter is set up, and the underling directs him to the library.
Danvers leads Elizabeth and Matt Craven into an even more plush-looking library and offers the court reporter a familiar greeting. He draws Elizabeth's attention to the videocamera by telling her to ignore it. Danvers continues being all Chatty Chatterson about the car accident that delayed his arrival to the meeting. Elizabeth is sworn in (and she seems either rattled or relieved that there's no Bible on which to swear). Danvers asks her to spell her name for the record, and asks how long she's been a surgeon. She says it's been ten years. He asks her if she's ever been deposed before and she tells him she hasn't. Danvers notes, "After ten years, that's pretty good." She replies, "Well, only three have been in America." "Touché," says Danvers. Yeah, what a wit! Americans sure are litigious, right? Whatever.
