Get comfortable, folks.
Great.
Thank you.
Nice to see you again.
Nice to see you.
Sometimes you get what you want.
The parties agree that Paula Corbin Jones did not engage
in any improper or sexual conduct on May 8, 1991,
and that the allegations and the inferences about her published
in "The American Spectator" are false,
and their adverse effects on her character and reputation
regrettable.
You get your good name back from the president himself.
But that's not all.
Our complaint asked for $700,000.
You know what number they agreed to?
$700,000.
Every dime.
Oh, my gosh.
We're so happy for you.
That $700,000.
Is that coming from Clinton himself or from his insurers?
Well, insurance.
But it's the number we asked for.
Anyway, next steps.
Could we have the room, please?
So we can speak privately.
Of course.
Thank you so much.
Well, since they didn't ask Paula, I will.
What do you think?
I think it's even more than I ever thought we'd ever get.
He needs to apologize.
This is not an apology.
Steve, we could have a normal life.
But even better than a normal life,
because we'll have $700,000.
They get a big chunk of that, Paula poo.
Oh, I know, Susie.
But you got to understand.
We are not from Pasadena, and even $100,000
would be more than anyone in my family has saved all our lives.
Oh, gosh.
I'm just thinking about the kind of house
that we could get back home in Llano County, and I--
What are you talking about?
Well, I was just thinking--
I don't want to go back to Llano County.
It doesn't matter how much money this is to your people.
It's not from them.
It's not even from him.
The only thing that would hurt him even a tiny bit
is if he had to apologize.
I did those things to that woman,
and she did not want them.
Does that thing say that?
No.
But this could change our lives.
This is an insult, Paula.
And if you don't take it that way,
I have to wonder why the fuck not.
I can't even believe we're talking about this.
We talked it over.
Paula and I say no deal.
We asked for an apology.
Where is it?
He'll go to trial before he apologizes.
Fine.
It'll be her word against a president's.
Paula, you have to understand what will come out in a trial.
I'm sorry.
What are you trying to say?
That you will lose, in devastating fashion.
But first, Paula.
They're going to drag your name through mud.
They're going to bring your past to light.
Think of the witnesses they'll call.
Think of the stories they'll tell.
They want to be sure no woman dares try this again.
This is your victory.
You have it right now.
You've won.
I'm sorry, Gil.
