"MR. KLUGER: Excuse me.
Raanan Katz: Okay.
MR. KLUGER: Look at -- look at me.
Raanan Katz: Yeah.
MR. KLUGER: Are you the lawyer?
Raanan Katz: No, I'm sorry.
MR. KLUGER: I've let you ask all of this because I think you've established enough of a record to show that you have no good faith. If you don't get into relevant things I'm going to stop the deposition, get Judge King on the phone, and I'm going to ask you to be prepared to read back the litany of abusive questions that he's been asking. So you are at your peru, go ahead, take your best shot, ask your next questions. What he does every day, how much time he goes to his shopping centers. I've let you get into it. I've let him tell you what his job is. I've let him tell you job description. I've let him go through offices because you're entitled to that. Right now, you're being abusive and it's just in line with you and your client.
People who begin to look like they're dogs and you're beginning to act like your client. So either ask
relevant questions or I'm just going to get Judge King on the phone and let him decide -- appoint a special master, and the rule on every question. That's what I'm at right now."
