Facts: Today, two potential new clients came in to see you. Their names are Bonnie and Clyde, and they are living together but not married. They came into your office and you interviewed them together. They told you that last month they were in a serious auto accident. The accident happened when another driver crashed into them while Bonnie was turning left at a busy intersection.

Bonnie, who was driving, suffered a broken leg and is still on crutches. This is really bad news because she is a traveling salesman and has to do a lot of walking to perform her job.

Clyde, who was the passenger in Bonnie's car, suffered a severe concussion and just got out of the hospital last week. He is still in a lot of pain and has trouble using his hands, which is a big problem because he makes his living as a music teacher.

Bonnie exchanged insurance information with the other driver at the time of the accident and told you his name: Marvin Gardens. The name sounded familiar, so you did a quick conflicts check and found out Marvin Gardens had retained you two years ago to draft his will. You haven't seen or heard from Marvin since you finished drafting his will.

Now comes the moment of truth. Bonnie and Clyde ask you, "Can you represent us both in a lawsuit against Marvin Gardens? We'd like to hire just one lawyer to represent us both. Will you take our case?"

Question: Analyze whether you may ethically represent (a) Bonnie, (b) Clyde, or (c) both of them. If you need anyone's consent in order to accept either or both clients, specify whose consent you need and explain everything you would need to do to obtain a valid consent.
