I took it the opposite way. Agent put Plaintiff up to it for publicity purposes.
P = > 0.85 :
A generous settlement is reached before it gets to Court and the Judge can punish them for a frivolous suit, Plaintiff forgives Defendant, they recall poignant elements of their prior life in Ukraine, tears, hugs, good publicity, cue violins, exeunt stage left, leaving their respective agents to plan a duet recording session and seek gloppy songwriter to write a gloppy song about forgiveness for the past...
"You think we'll hit Platinum, Maury?"
"I dunno, Sam. Maybe Gold, but Platinum would be great, hah?"
"Who should we get to write it?"
"Manilov, maybe, or that piano player on 'Two and a half men.' I heard he's looking for work."
