Drop Dead Diva

See that aspiring model there? That was me, Deb,

until the day I died.

I thought I'd go straight to heaven,

but there was a bit of a mix-up,

and I woke up in someone else's body.

So now I'm Jane, a super-busy lawyer

with my very own assistant.

I got a new life, a new wardrobe.

The only people who know what's going on with me

are my girlfriend, Stacy, and my guardian angel, Fred.

I used to think everything happened for a reason.

And, well, I sure hope I was right.

Excuse me. Hi.

I'm looking for Grayson Kent.

He was just brought in by ambulance.

Okay. Grayson Kent.

Oh.

I am so sorry. He didn't make it.

What?

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Jane. Jane.

It's me, Grayson.

I died, but when I went upstairs,

I pressed the return button, and now I'm back in this body.

And, Jane, I know you're really Deb.

Oh, my God. Grayson.

Hey, Jane.Oh, not now, sir.

But it's me, Grayson.

I died, but when I went upstairs...

Yo, Jane.

Baby, it's me, Grayson.

I died, but when I went upstairs...

Jane? It's me.Jane, it's me.

Jane, it's me, Grayson.

Jane. It's really me.

Ma'am?

Are you okay? You were talking in your sleep.

Oh. Oh, I'm fine. Heh.

How's he doing? Any change?No, nothing yet.

Jane. Jane?

Are you okay?Yeah.

I just had that same dream,

except for this time, it was disco instead of reggae.

Oh, sweetie,

I'm sure he's gonna wake up real soon.

Yeah.

And then what?

And then what, what?

Stacy, after he was hit by the car,

he looked directly at me and called me Deb.

When he wakes up again, who's he gonna see?

Jane or Deb?

He's calling.

Hey. How's he doing?

About the same.I miss you.

I just saw you like an hour ago.

I don't know what I'd do if you were hit by a car.

Promise me you'll always look left, right and then left again.

I promise. And Fred?

Yup?I miss you too.

Hey, uh, can I talk to Jane?

He wants to talk to you.

Um, she's busy.

Oh, I gotta go.

Can I help you?I'm looking for Kim Kaswell.

I regret to inform you

that Miss Kaswell is no longer with us.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it's sad, but she's in a better place.

Oh, my God.

Lady, she's fine. She just quit the firm.

What is wrong with you?

You know what? This is Miss Kaswell's new address.

Thank you.

So I'm confused, Freddy.

With Kim gone, why you still on her desk?

Free coffee, free office supplies,

and I am building a plantation on "FarmVille."

Why would I leave?

Parker.Just saw the doctor.

Said he could wake up any time.Yeah.

We're just waiting.

Can I talk to you out here?

I'm going.

Look, it's been three days. It's time to get back to work.

Fine, but at the moment I don't have any clients.

Potentially, you have a whale.That is highly insensitive.

Maybe the client has a thyroid problem.

No, sweetie, a whale is what we call a wealthy client.

Tim Kline just fired his lawyer the morning of his trial.

Oh, my God. Tim Kline, the movie star, is your whale?

Potentially.Oh.

He's charged with a hit-and-run,

12-year-old girl, she's in bad shape.

Yup. Jane, you're gonna meet him in an hour.

No.Poolside at the Waverly?

That's where he takes his meetings.

It's also where he trashed his hotel room,

made a sex tape,

and drunk-Twittered about his affair.

I don't want the case.Are you crazy?

He only fired his attorney to delay the trial

until he can finish shooting Bad Blood 3.

And, besides, I think he's guilty.

Well, sure, his Ferrari was found dumped off Mulholland

the morning after the accident, and he doesn't have an alibi.

But every movie star deserves fair representation.

It's in the Bill of Rights.

Jane, you're going to that meeting.

We both are. Oh, no.

Can you see the pimple on my nose?

I know it's there. I feel it.

I cannot meet Tim Kline with a zit.

I don't see anything.

Okay.Even if I was going,

I'm sorry, but I can't bring a friend.

No, but you can bring an intern. Unpaid.

She knows all the details. She can keep you focused.

My yoga instructor says I'm so focused

that sometimes it's like there's nothing in my head.

I told Vanessa I would stay until she got back, so...

Hey, Vanessa.VANESSA: Hi.

Jane, thank you for staying with him.

Oh, of course. If you need me to stick around, I'm not...

Oh, no, we'll be fine.

Well, let's go meet the whale.

[AMY STROUP'S "QUIET HEARTS" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Kim.

Penny. Hi.

You're working in a coffee shop.

Heh. Yeah. It's a temporary situation.

How are you?Oh, I'm great.

Fine.

Not so good.

Well, have a seat.

What's going on?

You remember Kevin?

Yeah, your cheating ex-husband?

We got him pretty good in the divorce.

A few weeks ago, he called and said he'd been to therapy

and that he was a changed man.

Okay.I invited him over for dinner,

and one thing led to another...

You slept with him.

And then I never heard from him again.

Jackass.Yeah.

Well, how can I help?I want to sue him.

For what? For a booty call?

Can I do that?

Actually, I think you can.

I'll work up a cause of action, file a complaint,

and he'll be served by noon.Great.

Oh, there's one more thing. I heard you and Parker broke up.

It's for the best.

I'm thinking Kevin will hire Parker to be his lawyer.

They're friends from the club. Will that be a problem?

Not for me.

Good. Thanks.

You get to go to the Waverly with an expense account.

You have the coolest job ever.I know, right?

Ooh. Eye candy, 6 o'clock.

Miss Bingum.

Yes.Hi, I'm Mark.

Tim's manager.Hello.

And his brother, four years older.

A Virgo.That's right. And you are...?

Miss Bingum's intern, Stacy.Pleasure to meet both of you.

Tim's waiting in a bungalow.Great.

I know how it looks, me firing my lawyer

at the 11th hour, but the guy is incompetent.

Why wait till the day of the trial?

He promised this day would never come.

He said the charges were gonna be dismissed.

You are looking at 10 years in jail.

Have you considered a plea?

No. Because I'm innocent.

Someone stole my car and hit that girl, okay?

I was home alone the whole night.

I totally believe you.

The thing is, I don't know if I believe you.

We appreciate your candor, but we're done here.

No, no, no, wait. Jane is a great lawyer.

She's won awards. Nothing like your People's Choice.

But real lawyer awards.

Say something.
