So, I'm Talking with an Attorney Friend,
one Ghetto Fabulous J. Wicked.
"What's pro bono work?" I ask him. "I mean, is that when you do stuff for free, or is it when you spend your billable hours listening to U2?"
"Pro bono" he responds, "is when lawyers spend time doing something even more socially corrosive than what they do for money."

I always snicker when people invoke that speech from Henry VI. Because the part that usually goes un-quoted is the bit from immediately before the famous line where Jack Cade rambles on for half a page about how when HE'S king there won't be any money, or property, and three-hooped barrels will have ten hoops.
And I think there's something in there about "to each according to his needs," but I might be mis-remembering it.

Butch, not Cade, said it.
