LEOPOLD: If you do it one more time, we're leaving. 4 O. MP 5 MR. LEOPOLD: I'm going to make the record. 6 You cannot interrupt me when I'm making the 7 record. Out of professional conduct, you cannot 8 do that. I'm entitled to make the record. I made 9 an objection, asked and answered. Your demeanor 10 is inappropriate. You're willing and you are able 11 and you're responsible to ask a question in a 12 professional manner, and ask the question and once 13 you get the answer, to either follow up on it or 14 move on, but not continuously browbeat and ask the 15 same question over and over because you don't like 16 the answer. 17 MR. TEIN: Calm down, sir. 18 MR. LEOPOLD: Trust me, I'm very calm here. 19 When I'm not calm, you'll know it. I'm very calm. 20 So please continue on. But I will not 21 allow you to continue to harass her in the 22 demeanor that you're doing. Ask her a question 23 and move on. 24 MR. TEIN: Are you done? 25 MR. LEOPOLD: Thank you. I am.
