In case you missed it, this is a reenactment of a colloquy between an attorney and a witness from a deposition in a commercial case. It's undoubtedly been dramatized a bit, although the script purports to be verbatim from the transcript.
Nothing about this exchange surprises me. You have a well-prepared witness, who is sticking to his guns, and an examining attorney who is trying to get around the wall the witness has thrown up to avoid giving the answer the attorney is looking for. It's classic.
