The Practice/Tear Jerker

One episode had Eugene helping a lawyer who never won a case. He's fat, has a combover, dresses terribly, and carries a fold-over briefcase that he has to clutch to his chest. Said lawyer thinks it's a shoo-in; because the defendant was accused of public exposure. The complainant said the person who flashed her had a small penis. The jury viewed the defendant's large penis, in chambers. Then they convict anyway. One of the jury members tells Gene he's a penile enhancement specialist, and could see the enhancement marks, which he told the other jurors about. Gene turns to the judge and gets her to reverse the decision, since the juror testified. Then he tells the other guy he's not a very good lawyer.

Lawyer:: Hey, I've won a lot of appeals! I'm a good lawyer!
Gene: (sadly) No. No you're not.

Cue the other lawyer going outside the courtroom, sitting down, clutching his briefcase to his chest, and having a cry.

There was also the time Eugene's son said his daddy got murderers off. Gene was disturbed, and used it to win a case. The last shot of the episode is him walking down a hallway, towards the camera, with alternating light and dark spots. At some point, he starts crying Manly Tears without any change in expression, and then walks off camera. End credits.
