The Case for A Bad Offer (1):
Ed (Albert Finney) and Erin (Julia Roberts) meet with a lawyer for PG&E (Michael Shamberg) who has come to offer a non-negotiable settlement for one of the many residents that has been unknowingly poisoned by the company.  Shocked at the paltry offer, Ed and Erin leave - not the least bit threatened by the lawyer's threat that the company is too rich for them to take on.

The Case for Quid Pro Quo:
Meeting with Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), Clarice (Jodie Foster) finds herself agreeing to exchange information with the criminal - but not about the case: Instead, Lecter asks Clarice for information about herself, starting the back and forth that will help her solve the case.
