Dan (John Larroquette) suddenly sees Phil Sanders (William Utay), the wine-sodden derelict who hangs around the courtroom as something of a general factotum, in an entirely new light after a man (Eric Christmas) who was wiped out in the S&L crisis is hauled into court. Thinking quickly, Phil saves the unfortunate man's life at the cost of his own (which would be a tragic moment if it wasn't played like something out of a "Road Runner" cartoon). It soon comes to light that Phil was no ordinary bum--certainly not as far as his former Wall Street colleagues are concerned! Originally scheduled for January 16, 1991, this episode was moved back a week because of NBC's Gulf War coverage.
