You have to react in a way that's big, authentic, find some angle that you can continue the connection and just take everything as a gift.

So in improv, everything's a gift from your scene partner.

And

So the jury and you are kind of playing out this scene and you say that's a gift anyways, even if it's something that would on the surface seem negative.

Well, it really is a gift because that guy, you can get him out for cause without – you don't need to waste your strikes that you – so it really is a gift.

And then you can kind of – you're clocking, okay, that guy is nodding his head when he's talking.

What about you?

Oh, yeah, my uncle had a small business –

There you go.

You're out too.

And then – so it actually is a gift.

Picking the jury is my favorite part of trial.

It's everything.

And you can talk to – I really believe in that Malcolm Gladwell book where – Blink, where you can get a good feeling of someone with a high degree of – I mean Malcolm Gladwell is a moron.

But you can believe –

that you will get it right about eight out of ten times on a first impression.

And he had a bunch of statistics about –

marriage counselors where the best ones were able to predict if they'll last or not, the couple, by like less and less information to still high degree of accuracy.

I made the comment that he's a moron because he did this episode on Toyota about their sudden acceleration situation, and his position was blaming the drivers, which is what Toyota's position was, that it was the driver's input.

In stressful situations, they were pushing the gas instead of the brake.
