“They're trying to overwork me," Liebowitz told him calmly.

“No one's trying to overwork you," Levine cried.

“Then why are they CCing me?" Liebowitz asked.

“They're CCing everyone," Levine answered. "They're trying to overwork everyone."

“And what difference does that make?”

Yosarion esq thought he could finally go home after billing 10000 hours only to have partner PP Peckham raise the quota to 12000. Yosarion feigns injury to avoid any more billing.

You have a morbid aversion to billing. You probably resent the fact that you're at this firm and might have to blow your evening plans off any second."

"I more than resent it, sir. I'm absolutely incensed."

"You have deep-seated professional anxieties. And you don't like Jews, women, minorities, or liberals. Subconsciously there are many people you hate."

"Consciously, sir, consciously," Liebowitz corrected in an effort to help. "I hate them consciously."

Morale was deteriorating and it was all Liebowitz’s fault. The firm was in peril; he was jeopardizing his traditional rights of two weeks’ vacation by daring to exercise them.

A deal exploded in London and created a fire drill for the Partners to handle. In about eight hours the lawyers from New York had arrived in London to negotiate with the Europeans. For a frantic 16 hours it was touch and go. Then the lawyers began to get the upper hand. Suddenly there was the monotonous old drone of bankers returning from a meeting, and the lawyers had to roll up their documents and speed back to the hotel in case one of the bankers called them with instructions. Instructions were not forthcoming. As soon as the last banker returned, the lawyers wheeled around and raced back to resume their negotiations with their European counterparts at the conference room. When they got there, the issue was out. The bankers had settled it, completely and without even a clause to be negotiated, and there was nothing for the disappointed lawyers to do but drink tepid coffee and hang around trying to flirt with the secretaries.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that someone looking to leave their biglaw firm was off the partnership track and not a good associate. Stevens was a good associate and could find a new job. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be a good associate and would be stuck at his sweatshop.

Levine would be a good associate to take more assignments and bad if he didn't, but if he was bad he couldn’t lateral and so had to take them. If he took new assignments he was a good associate and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was bad and had to. Liebowitz was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.

"It's the best there is," Goldman agreed.

Goyman was as good at turning comments as he was at due diligence, and he was as good at due diligence as he was at everything else. Everything Goyman did, he did well. Goyman was a fair-haired boy from Iowa who believed in God, Fatherhood, and the American Way of Life, without ever thinking about any of them, and everybody who knew him liked him.

"I hate that son of a bitch," Liebowitz growled.

"I want someone to tell me", Partner Rubenfeld beseeched to them all prayerfully."If any of this work is too much, I want to be told."

"He wants someone to tell him," Smith said.

"He wants everyone to keep still, idiot," Liebowitz answered.

"Didn't you hear him?" Smith argued.

"I heard him," Liebowitz replied."I heard him say very loudly and very distinctly that he wants every one of us to keep our mouths shut if we know what's good for us."

"I won't punish you", Partner Rubenfeld swore.

"He says he won't punish me", said Smith.

"He'll castrate you," said Leibovitz.

"I swear I won't punish you," said Partner Rubenfeld."I'll be grateful to the man who tells me the truth."

"He'll hate you", said Liebowitz. "To his dying day he'll hate you."
