1 Q. You wrote that to your friend, didn't you?
2 MR. LEOPOLD: Objection. Asked and
3 answered, for the fourth time.
4 MR. TEIN: You are improperly objecting,
5 Mr. Leopold. You have no grounds to object. And
6 that's not an objection.
7 MR. LEOPOLD: It is an objection.
8 MR. TEIN: Then terminate the deposition if
9 you think it's been asked and answered.
10 MR. LEOPOLD: Counsel, I am not precluded
11 from just making an objection to the form of the
12 question. As the courts well know, and if you
13 practice here in West Palm Beach, many of the
14 judges require you to set the objection with
15 specificity. And I will do that. And if you
16 don't want me to, you can make the record. But I
17 will do that.
18 MR. TEIN: Here's what we'll do, Ted. You
19 can -- I will allow you to reserve an objection to
20 form for every single one of my questions.
21 Otherwise, all you're doing is obstructing.
22 MR. LEOPOLD: I won't do that.
23 MR. TEIN: Of course; because you want to
24 obstruct.
25 MR. LEOPOLD: All right.
