Philadelphia - Continuation

Hi guys,

today we watched the 2nd part of the interview of Andrew Beckett with his lawyer and here is what we said about it:

The lawyer says that he can't help Andrew with his case. He can't see a case.

However, Andew thinks he has an ulterior motive = personal reasons.
He could refuse to help him because...:

- ...he thinks Andrew is untrustworthy; he is a liar.

- ...he thinks he doesn't have money to pay.

- ...Andrew is gay and he may he homophobic.

- ...he doesn't want to have a "bad" reputation. If he sues a big law firm, he could lose. What's more, the idea of defending person who is sick with AIDS is not positive for his image.

When joe Miller says he doesn't want to help him, Andrew looks both sad / disappointed, and angry.

Additional vocabulary:
- an anti-acid
- (to) be relieved

You can watch the scene here again:
