It's 2020...and I still find myself searching for this clip every 6 months or so. It's just so damn satisfying. Quick-witted good confronting pure evil. No fighting. Just sharp words expertly delivered.
Many of her monologues were great This one stood apart - specially for the last line about getting the water from a well in Hinley - Also, Hanna's lawyerish stare was extraordinary towards the end
They say the first one to blink is usually the one to lose.... When she mentioned WHERE the water that woman was about to drink was from.....she DEFINITELY blinked!
Close, butt "the _ _ _ blow jobs in 5 days", tops that one. Then she says, "I need to sit down, I'm exausted", as if she just finished 5 minutes ago. PERFECTION! And of course dressing like a slut to further grind the business suit female, further ground it in.
I have suffered for years after being contaminated from hinkley water. My son is 33 with tumors on his spinal cord and all three daughters suffer with having to have a hystorectomys. I have pain all the time and we got zero from this contamination. My family has died. Or suffered. Lived in hinkley all our lives, until we got older. Zero. Unfair
I have been gone for 30 years. Don't look back. I just hate my kids and grandkids are having effects from me being raised there. And I get a whole 471.00 a month for disability. Ruined my life.
I have heard some people from Hinkley say the only thing accurate about this movie is the name of it. If I am reading what you said correctly, you received nothing in the lawsuit. I have done a little bit of research on this case, I don't remember exactly what I read about it, but it did not reflect well on Brockovich. I am always skeptical of Hollywood portrayals, and that is what made me look into it. I can tell you that Hollywood left a lot out of movies like "Milk" with Sean Penn. If you have the strength, try going to the papers, although I am also skeptical of them.
Carol - Exactly! They took the "Intimidation" and Reversed it 'Back At Them", starting with "Sheer Numbers of Bodies", then followed up That, with Sheer Numbers of Real Cases, backed up by Real Results, all without "Looking at Notes!"
So impressed that Erin Brockovich went to East Palestine, Ohio, to lend encouragement along with Donald Trump. I can't helped thinking of the impact this made.
Female lawyer missed a major power move - when told the water was from Hinkley she should have gulped it down then poured a second glass and taken another sip. That quantity wouldn't hurt her.
She delivers words so sharply and real quick witted. Girl what courarge to confront your big Goliath. Water contamination is so unavoidable. In India water is hardly madè available or accessible to the thirsty. People have to buy claen water for every day necessities. Drinking water is costly for the average middle income people. Ground water is dirty no matter how deep you dig in.
Do not malign India's name...I agree some parts of India do face acute water scarcity or clean drinking water..but not whole of India...do not generalize....state your own area and highlight the area's problem...not whole india...the place where I live..we do not face any water shortage...and we do get clean water... it not be the same for your case...like yours is not similar to mine
Pessimist.. The glass is half empty Optimist... The glass is half full Opportunist....*drinks water while pessimist and optimist argue Realist...lol...there's flouride in there
Not really. It wouldn’t be as effective. She hesitating yo drink it coveys that even they don’t believe their own lie that the water is safe. If she’d drunk it before knowing there wouldn’t be a chance to see their inner conflict.
I know this was a CRAZY SERIOUS film, but there were some crazy heeelarious lines being delivered. The" _ _ _ blow jobs in 5 days" was a screem, and the look on that lady's face was perfect.
The only people who see profit from Class-Action lawsuits.....are the law firms that take the case. They get the massive payout, everyone else gets the scraps off the table. If you have to sue your employer, a corporation, etc....and your lawyer talks about going "Class-Actionn"....leave immediately and find a lawyer willing to fight for JUST YOU.
You can't have a trial where there is 400 lawyers present. And taking on a company as one person is the recipe for defeat. One lawyer with one client would never have the financial strength to beat the company's power. By class action you often get a very big law firm to take on the company. They use a lot of strength to do this. That is on their own risk. If they loose they get nothing. But if they win they need to get back for their effort. For the people needing the lawyers it is a question of getting nothing else than a lawyer bill or to win and get maybe half of the winnings. It's basically a no-brainer. And from what I have seen from the results of the class actions in the US it seems that the judges takes into account the big share given to the law firm and raises the penalty given to the company.
But then you risk her laughing it off and saying "oh I would have drank it anyway" or "it tasted fine" .... by telling her BEFORE it called her bluff that even she was concerned about the toxiticity as she put the glass down
The point wasn't to poison her. In fact, Erin was most likely lying about the water. The point was to demonstrate that everyone in that room knows the Hinkley water is poison, even if one side won't admit it.
Does anyone know who played the male lawyer next to Albert Finney? I loved his expression when Julia said these people don’t dream about being rich and how Che chuckled when Julia said that the water came from a Well from Hinkley
"By the way, we brought in that water specially for you folks" 💦
I remember that scene
@@bruceg.6282 llllllll
Epic
This is the best part of the meeting😊
😄😄😄😄
The look on her face at 1:45 is just outstanding. Julia earned her honors for this film.
Same at around 2:03 as she looks back over at her.

Yes we so need this attitude in Congress.
100% agree!
Yes but in the real story of Hinkley. They are still suffering from this issue today 20 years later
👍🙄
Nice to have groups of people planning writing and directing the responses, and know what the other person is going to say.
Ed trying to stay professional and keep a straight face is the best part of this scene
This is a time when peoples wellfair have been ignored. I think Erin Brockovich is one of the best movies of our time.
One of my favorite scenes.
Of all time yes
Mine too
Many of her monologues were great
This one stood apart - specially for the last line about getting the water from a well in Hinley -
Also, Hanna's lawyerish stare was extraordinary towards the end
I love this movie. Julia's acting is perfect here.
Erin could argue and win every time, regardless. The acting and casting was superb, this is a great movie.
Loved this movie and she did an awesome job at this performance
Yeah i think Julia won an oscar for this role...
@@josettedc703
when Oscars really meant something ...
I love how Erin takes their B.S. and throws it right back in their faces.
Kind of the way Trump does the fake news and democrats.😉🇺🇸
@@thequickerflipperpickerupp6281 both Gemini's lol
No less than what they deserve.
They say the first one to blink is usually the one to lose....
When she mentioned WHERE the water that woman was about to drink was from.....she DEFINITELY blinked!
I wonder if she's gonna use that trick in Palestine Ohio, she's on the case now?
Right after she put the glass down, Erin should've said, "What's the matter, not thirsty anymore??" Lol 😂
1:40 I love how he starts to laugh and then tries to play it off 😂
she was brilliant in this. loved the way she sashayed around in her super high heels too.
this was the best scene of the whole movie... lmao
Close, butt "the _ _ _ blow jobs in 5 days", tops that one. Then she says, "I need to sit down, I'm exausted", as if she just finished 5 minutes ago. PERFECTION!

Not best but good
I wish I had this confidence and passion for what I hope to achieve in life.
You do; you just have to believe in yourself enough to go for your dreams/goals that you would like in life.

Tracy Waits Jesus think it is time to move from that hell hole yet?

Tracy Waits so sorry to hear that.
McDago100 how do I do that. I definitely know even my little sister has had several brain surgeries.
She is My Hero...an ordinary woman, single Mum...zero bullshit
Apparently, they pulled the 'water from Hinkley" line in court, not a negotiation.
Sometimes you just got to bring in more people works every time. More effective and safety in numbers.
Carol - Exactly! They took the "Intimidation" and Reversed it 'Back At Them", starting with "Sheer Numbers of Bodies", then followed up That, with Sheer Numbers of Real Cases, backed up by Real Results, all without "Looking at Notes!"
This is my all time favourite clip. 😁
This one and the other Lawyers office where she said she did sexual favors.😊
One of my favorite scenes
Erin should have waited with telling where the water came from until the woman had taken a sip.
Her expression at the end is classic.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME
God I love this film.
I bet she put that glass down quick! And, I loved Julia's "bitch don't fuck with me stare!"
I love this movie. I love Erin B & Julia R.
Best leverage play i've seen
Gosh I LOVE this movie !
I love this film, I can watch it often
My favorite scene!!!
The best scene in the entire movie. She kicked ass!
Erin hands out the proverbial can of Whoopass! The big buck$ attorneys choked on it.
I love this scene.
This is what happens when you bring an aircraft carrier to a sailboat race.
So impressed that Erin Brockovich went to East Palestine, Ohio, to lend encouragement along with Donald Trump. I can't helped thinking of the impact this made.
Daisy. My favorite ❤️ Julia Roberts movie!! She’s got moxie!!!
Those were the ABSOLUTELY AWESOME statements ever, WTF PEOPLE

Some of the parts in India get world's best water.
I WISH THIS WAS HOW THE LAW WORKED
What a great movie.
I love watching this.
My favorite movie!!!
SAVAGE!!!
FYI, If you watch the movie, The Diner scene, The waitress, IS Erin Brokovich-Ellis, for real!
ed masery is a customer at the next table...
"...........Go on....drink up. After all, you won't be needing that uterus anytime soon now will ya?"
I love this scene
Drink the water miss Sanchez!!! 😁
Julia did a terrific job in this part
I would of let her drink the water first then mention it afterwards.😀
Yes
Pessimist.. The glass is half empty
Optimist... The glass is half full
Opportunist....*drinks water while pessimist and optimist argue
Realist...lol...there's flouride in there

@@karaiwonder Exactly
Hahaha. Right
Brilliant film
Best scene ever
I don’t think that water was brought in specially. But I do think it was a bluff and it paid off beautifully
Yup! "You just 'Never Know', was it 'Real', or Not!"
Hehehe 😂 I love her. She’s tough!
wonderful actress
they are smug the business people !😁
Wow she's...no words
O thank you so much
i think Erin should have added :"go ahead... make my day"
Did anyone noticed the two extra people had changed clothes and haircut? 😂
I love it when the corrupt get slammed dunked!
I think about the people in Flint, Michigan in this particular scene.
Love this!!!
I know this was a CRAZY SERIOUS film, but there were some crazy heeelarious lines being delivered. The" _ _ _ blow jobs in 5 days" was a screem, and the look on that lady's face was perfect.
192 teas spoons = 1 US Quart. A load is about a tea spoon. So, that is almost 2 quarts of C_M!
Lawyer showed her hand by not drinking the water
i’m sure the ppl of hinkley are really happy that julia got an oscar.
This scene is more satisfying than watching videos of guys cleaning muddy hallway with a karsher.
A wonderful film, unfortunately I watched it in pirated form, since otherwise it is not possible for many Ukrainians for financial reasons.
Good primer lesson and preparation for life in America.
I hope all of you received part of the settlement
If so I would appreciate you letting me know
Sincerely
A concerned citizen
Gotcha
Julia Roberts got the OSCAR for this role; shoulda gotten 2 or 3, IMHO!
Deserved her 2nd Oscar for August Osage County
She should have got one for Steel Magnolias too, but this was a well deserved win for her.
Great Scene
Donald changed his clothes and Anna changed her hairstyle...but the facts on this company never changed matter of fact I think it got worse

It's clear you know nothing about how the legal system works.
Gotta love it 😄💪💋
@1:43 The look on Anna’s face, that’s how you say I was wrong about you without saying I was wrong about you.
@ Carter's mother : Better not mess with Carter's Mama neither !!!
I’d tell her about the water AFTER she drank it!
But then you risk her laughing it off and saying "oh I would have drank it anyway" or "it tasted fine" .... by telling her BEFORE it called her bluff that even she was concerned about the toxiticity as she put the glass down
Doctor Goop - Well, as they say, "Knowledge is Power!" And... "Timing is Everything!"

His name is Valente Rodriguez. He is a great actor!
If they do those things under a green tree, what will they do in the dry? .....
Need Erin to confront Pfizer and Australian politicians
queen
Now see that pisses me off 👍👍
Avvocati avvocati
Does anyonelse see Samantha there.
Julia Robert!
Why can't you people record this at a level where you can hear it?
Ms. Sanchez should have called Erin's bluff and guzzled down the water. "Could I have seconds please?"
Dave G ...🤣🤣🤣
She doesn't get paid enough to drink that water. She assessed the value of her uterus in those 2 seconds and it was worth more than her pay packet.
the days before bottled water and I macs
名場面❗水飲めない❗
Drink it, Drink it...
Exactly. Water anyone?
Awesome
I wish she would have waited till she actually sipped on the water
How come 'Donald' goes from casual dress to white shirt, tie and suit in a few moments?
Changed in his office
She turned it
whats up with the volume????
Ka-pow!
