43. - Hello, Bill. I'm Sheriff Farley.
- Hi.Copy !req
44. - Do you know why you're here?
- Yeah, I do. I'm sorry.Copy !req
45. It was a stupid thing to do.Copy !req
46. - Have you been made aware of your rights?
- Yes.Copy !req
47. - You're willing to waive that right?
- I'll cooperate fully.Copy !req
48. I'll sign a statement, or whatever
makes this whole thing easier.Copy !req
49. Good. Good. That's good.Copy !req
50. But I want you to know,
Stan, he had nothing to do with it.Copy !req
51. Did he help you plan it?Copy !req
52. No. I mean... I mean, it wasn't planned out.Copy !req
53. You know, it just happened.Copy !req
54. Did Stan try to stop you at any time?Copy !req
55. No. I mean, he was...Copy !req
56. - Is that a big deal?
- Aidin' and abettin'.Copy !req
57. - Aiding and abetting? Is that a major thing?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
58. An accessory?
Are you guys kiddin'? An accessory?Copy !req
59. I didn't help. I didn't plan it.Copy !req
60. You didn't try to stop it.Copy !req
61. I didn't know it was happening.
I found out later in the car.Copy !req
62. Why didn't you get out,
call the police then?Copy !req
63. He's my friend.Copy !req
64. Well.Copy !req
65. Your friend has put you in a lot of trouble.Copy !req
66. What's gonna happen to Bill?Copy !req
67. Nothing. Unless he's convicted.Copy !req
68. If he is, we're gonna run enough electricity
through him to light up Birmingham.Copy !req
69. We were friends at NYU, and we both
applied and we got scholarships to UCLA.Copy !req
70. So we figured the scenery would be
nicer going through the South.Copy !req
71. - What about the tuna fish?
- I forgot about the tuna fish.Copy !req
72. And then we left.Copy !req
73. Did he catch you with the tuna fish?
Is that how it started?Copy !req
74. - No, he didn't say anything.

75. I don't know.Copy !req
76. Let's talk about that for a moment.Copy !req

79. When'd you shoot him?Copy !req
80. - What?

81. - I shot the clerk?

82. - I shot the clerk?
- We need ya out here.Copy !req
83. I'm in the middle of a damn confession here.Copy !req
84. Whoa. Wait a minute.Copy !req
85. - What's the matter?
- Do you know what this is all about?Copy !req
86. - Yeah, they're fucking with us.
- You don't believe them?Copy !req
87. - They don't execute for shoplifting.
- You think we're booked for shoplifting?Copy !req
88. No. You're being booked for shoplifting.
I'm booked for accessory to shoplifting.Copy !req
89. No, Stan. I'm being booked for murder and
you're being booked for accessory to murder.Copy !req
90. It's time to make your phone calls.Copy !req
91. - Goddamn it.
- Could you contact your parents?Copy !req
92. How? Call the Chilean consulate?
What can they do?Copy !req
93. Send a guide into the mountains
looking for them?Copy !req
94. We need to call an attorney. A great attorney.Copy !req
95. Do you know any great attorneys?Copy !req
96. No. I'm calling my mother.Copy !req
97. Hello, Ma. We're in Wazoo.Copy !req

First of all, we didn't do it, all right?Copy !req
101. Murder.Copy !req
102. Ma. Ma, ple... Ma, it's a mistake.Copy !req
103. We must look like the guys who did it.Copy !req
104. - Tell her what we think is happening...
- Shut up.Copy !req
105. We think they're trying to set us up as
patsies. You know how corrupt it is here.Copy !req
106. The Klan's here, they're inbred,
they sleep with their sisters.Copy !req
107. - Some of them do.
- All right, Ma, listen.Copy !req
108. We gotta get an attorney,
and it's gonna cost a lot of money.Copy !req
109. - How much would an attorney cost?
- A decent one? $50,000. $100,000.Copy !req
110. 50,000. 100,000... I know, Ma. I know.Copy !req
111. - Can we use any attorney?
- I think so.Copy !req
112. He says he thinks so.Copy !req
113. He is?Copy !req
114. Well, that's a great idea.
You think he'll do it?Copy !req
115. - We got an attorney in the family.
- Who?Copy !req
116. My cousin Vinny.Copy !req
117. What is that?Copy !req
118. Where's he from?Copy !req
119. - What?
- You stick out like a sore thumb around here.Copy !req
120. - Me? What about you?
- I fit in better than you.Copy !req
121. - At least I'm wearin' cowboy boots.
- Oh, yeah. You blend.Copy !req
122. I bet the Chinese food here is terrible.Copy !req
123. - I don't see anything.
- The wheels went out of balanceCopy !req
124. - right after we hit that mud.
- No, that's not it.Copy !req
125. I think you should put it
on a rack and take a look.Copy !req
126. What's wrong?Copy !req
127. - What?
- What's the problem?Copy !req
128. The car was shimmying on the highway.Copy !req
129. - You got mud in your tyres.
- I got mud in my tyres?Copy !req
130. Let me ask you, how do you
get mud into the tyres?Copy !req
131. That's a figure of speech.
The mud gets around the inside of the wheel.Copy !req
132. - Throws the balance off.
- Did you ever hear that? Mud in the tyres?Copy !req
133. No.Copy !req
134. She never heard it.
She knows everything about cars.Copy !req
135. See, down here, everybody gets stuck
in the mud every now and then.Copy !req
136. - Yeah. We're famous for our mud.
- Famous for your mud?Copy !req
137. How's your Chinese food?Copy !req
138. You keep on askin' about that. Can't you
tell they don't have Chinese restaurants?Copy !req
139. Gotta let everybody know
you're a tourist. Come on.Copy !req
140. And you're a fuckin' world traveller?Copy !req
141. Our jail was condemned this morning.Copy !req
142. That's why we bringin' you all
out to the state corrections facility.Copy !req
143. Unlock the gate.Copy !req
144. Go on through.Copy !req
145. - Do you know what happens in these places?
- Yeah, I know what happens.Copy !req
146. There's often a big guy named
Bubba no one will tangle with.Copy !req
147. He'll protect you - if you become
his sex slave and do whatever he wants.Copy !req
148. There's only the two of us here.Copy !req
149. What about those cots?
What if they put somebody else in here?Copy !req
150. Stan.Copy !req
151. - Shut up.
- OK.Copy !req
152. I can't believe my luck.Copy !req
153. Here.Copy !req
154. We got somebody for you.Copy !req
155. You must be Stan. How you doin'?Copy !req
156. Why'd they bring you in here?Copy !req
157. I just got in. I asked for the new guys
and they brought me here.Copy !req
158. He's sleepin', huh? Cute little guy.Copy !req
159. You know, maybe I'll just start with you.
Let him sleep a little bit.Copy !req
160. - Look, I don't wanna do this.
- I don't blame you.Copy !req
161. If I was in your situation,
I'd wanna get through this whole thingCopy !req
162. as quickly and with as little pain as possible.Copy !req
163. So let's try our best to make it
a simple in-and-out procedure.Copy !req
164. What's the matter?Copy !req
165. Relax, relax. Relax.Copy !req
166. Maybe we should spend
a couple of minutes together.Copy !req
167. You know, to get acquainted before we,
you know, before we get to it.Copy !req
168. - What's wrong with you?
- I don't wanna do this.Copy !req
169. I understand, but what are your alternatives?Copy !req
170. My alternatives? To what? To you?Copy !req
171. I dunno. Suicide. Death.Copy !req
172. Look, it's either me or them.
You're gettin' fucked, one way or the other.Copy !req
173. Lighten up, OK?
Don't worry, I'm gonna help you.Copy !req
174. Gee, thanks.Copy !req
175. Excuse me, but I think a modicum of
gratitude would not be outta line here.Copy !req
176. - You think I should be grateful?
- Yeah. I mean it's your ass, not mine.Copy !req
177. I think you should be grateful. I think
you should be down on your fuckin' knees.Copy !req
178. I didn't know your visit was such an honour.Copy !req
179. I'm doin' a favour.
You're gettin' me for nothin', you little fuck.Copy !req
180. Boy, that's one hell of an ego you've got.Copy !req
181. What the fuck is your problem?Copy !req
182. - I did not come here just to get jerked off.
- No. No, no.Copy !req
183. I'm not jerking you off.
I'm not doing anything.Copy !req
184. You're on your own. I'm just
takin' care of Sleeping Beauty.Copy !req
185. - Billy.
- Back off.Copy !req
186. - Vinny. Hey, Vinny.
- Vinny?Copy !req
187. - Vinny Bag o' Donuts. How are you?
- This is Vinny?Copy !req
188. I don't know where to start.Copy !req
189. Have you had any murder cases before?Copy !req
190. - None. This'll be my first.
- Your first?Copy !req
191. Yeah.Copy !req
192. What kind of cases have you had?
Assault and battery? Armed robbery?Copy !req
193. No.Copy !req
194. Well, I expect he's done burglary,
grand theft auto, drugs.Copy !req
195. No. Nothin' like that either.Copy !req
196. What kind... what kind of law
do you practise?Copy !req
197. Well, up till now, personal injury.Copy !req
198. Well, you're a trial attorney, right?
I mean, personal injury trials.Copy !req
199. Well, actually, this'll be my first
foray into the trial process.Copy !req
200. I haven't had to go to court yet.
Knock on wood.Copy !req
201. You haven't had to go to court yet.Copy !req
202. - How long you been practising?
- Almost six weeks.Copy !req
203. But...Copy !req
204. You graduated six years ago.
What have you been doin'?Copy !req
205. Studyin', for the bar.Copy !req
206. Six years?Copy !req
207. - That's a lot of studying.
- Well, to be honest with you,Copy !req
208. I... I didn't pass my first time out.Copy !req
209. - That's OK. You passed the second time?
- I'm afraid not.Copy !req
210. - Three times a charm?
- Not for me it isn't.Copy !req
211. No. For me, six times was a charm.Copy !req
212. Six times.Copy !req
213. - A little informal, aren't we?
- I was resting...Copy !req
214. - Not wearing a coat or tie.
- Sorry.Copy !req
215. Well, approving an attorney from
out of state is a pretty informal matter.Copy !req
216. - I just have a few questions.
- OK. Fire away, Judge.Copy !req
217. - Where'd you go to law school?
- Brooklyn Academy of Law.Copy !req
218. Is that an accredited law school?Copy !req
219. Yes.Copy !req
220. - How long you been practising?
- About six...Copy !req
221. Almost sixteen years.Copy !req
222. - Any murder cases?
- Quite a few. Yes.Copy !req
223. - What was the outcome?
- You know. Win some, lose some.Copy !req
224. This is not the forum to be cavalier.Copy !req
225. Of course. Now, let me see.Copy !req
226. Most recently, I had a axe murder,Copy !req
227. which I won, on the grounds
of temporary insanity.Copy !req
228. - Wanna hear the facts of the case?
- No.Copy !req
229. - What else?
- Let me see. What else?Copy !req
230. You ever heard of the Son of Sam?Copy !req
231. The fella who received
orders to kill from a dog?Copy !req
232. - That one.
- You defended him?Copy !req
233. Well, no, not exactly.
I defended the first guy they arrested.Copy !req
234. And he was found innocent and set free
and they caught the real guy.Copy !req
235. Well.Copy !req
236. We don't have any serial killers
in Beechum County.Copy !req
237. What we do have is as sophisticated a justice
system as they do in the rest of the country.Copy !req
238. - I'm sure.
- You being from New York an' allCopy !req
239. might have the impression that law is
practised with a degree of informality here.Copy !req
240. - It isn't.
- Right.Copy !req
241. I tell you this because I want you
to know that when it comes to procedure,Copy !req
242. I'm not a patient man.Copy !req
243. Sir, when you come into my courtroom,
you ought to know the letter of the law.Copy !req
244. - I'll react harshly when you don't.
- You should.Copy !req
245. Being from New York
won't get you special treatment.Copy !req
246. It shouldn't.Copy !req
247. You won't. You'll be given
no leeway whatsoever.Copy !req
248. I expect you to know this information
when you come into my courtroom.Copy !req
249. Right.Copy !req
250. - You willing to accept those terms?
- Right. No problem.Copy !req
251. Just this?Copy !req
252. This is gonna be great. Vinny's first case.Copy !req
253. So? What can I do to help?Copy !req
254. - Nothin'?
- No.Copy !req
255. What the fuck is that?Copy !req
256. Wanna sit at the counter?Copy !req
257. Hey. How ya doin'?Copy !req
258. Listen, what's the story with this
incredibly, remarkably loud whistleCopy !req
259. at 5.30 in the morning?Copy !req
260. It's the steam whistle.Copy !req
261. Over at the sawmill.Copy !req
262. Tell folks it's time to get up.Copy !req
263. You can hear it for miles.Copy !req
264. - Y'all want somethin'?
- Yeah.Copy !req
265. - Breakfast?
- You think?Copy !req
266. Good choice. Two.Copy !req
267. Excuse me.Copy !req
268. You guys down here hear about the ongoing
cholesterol problem in the country?Copy !req
269. - What's this over here?
- You never heard of grits?Copy !req
270. Sure. Sure, I heard of grits.Copy !req
271. I just actually never seen a grit before.Copy !req
272. - Honey, you gonna try it?
- You first.Copy !req
273. - What is a grit, anyways?
- It's made out of corn.Copy !req
274. - Them hominy grits.
- Hominy.Copy !req
275. - How d'you cook it?
- Simmer it in water for 15 or 20 minutes,Copy !req
276. put it on the plate and add butter.Copy !req
277. So? You gonna eat it or not?Copy !req
278. Here?Copy !req
279. - Is your attorney here?
- I am the attorney.Copy !req
280. Jim Trotter the Third.
District attorney of Beechum County.Copy !req
281. Vincent La Guardia Gambini. First. Brooklyn.Copy !req
282. Nice to see you.Copy !req
283. Yeah.Copy !req
284. - Vinny.
- Hey.Copy !req
285. All rise for His Honour
Judge Chamberlain Haller.Copy !req
286. The court of Beechum County
is now in session.Copy !req
287. Be seated.Copy !req
288. First case. The people of the State
of Alabama versus William Robert GambiniCopy !req
289. and Stanley Marcus Rothenstein,Copy !req
290. - "Steen." She called me "Stine".
- Just...Copy !req
291. Counsellor, your clients are charged with
first-degree murder. How do they plead?Copy !req
292. - Your Honour, my clients...
- Don't talk to me sitting in that chair.Copy !req
293. - But he told me to sit here.
- When you address this court, you will riseCopy !req
294. and speak to me in a clear, intelligible voice.Copy !req
295. - Sorry. My clients...
- What are you wearin'?Copy !req
296. Huh?Copy !req
297. - What are you wearin'?
- I'm wearin' clothes.Copy !req
298. I don't get the question.Copy !req
299. When you come into my court
looking like you do,Copy !req
300. you not only insult me,
but you insult the integrity of this court.Copy !req
301. I apologise, sir, but this is how I dress.Copy !req
302. Next time you come into my courtroom,
you will look lawyer-ly.Copy !req
303. I mean, you comb your hair
and wear a suit and tie.Copy !req
304. And that suit better be made
outta some kind of cloth.Copy !req
305. - You understand me?
- Yes. Fine, Judge. Fine.Copy !req
306. Good. You may continue.
How do your clients plead?Copy !req
307. My clients are caught completely by surprise.Copy !req
308. They thought they were getting
arrested for shoplifting a can of tuna.Copy !req
309. What are you telling me?
That they plead not guilty?Copy !req
310. - No. I'm just trying to explain.
- I don't wanna hear explanations.Copy !req
311. The State of Alabama has its procedure.Copy !req
312. And that procedure, at this point in time, is
to have an arraignment. Are we clear on this?Copy !req
313. Yes. But there seems to be
a great deal of confusion here.Copy !req
314. - Mr Gambini.
- You see, my clients...Copy !req
315. All the way?Copy !req
316. All I ask from you is a very simple
answer to a very simple question.Copy !req
317. There are only two ways to answer.
"guilty" or "not guilty".Copy !req
318. But my clients didn't do anything.Copy !req
319. Once again, the communication
process has broken down.Copy !req
320. It appears to me that you want
to skip the arraignment process,Copy !req
321. go directly to trial, skip that,
and get a dismissal.Copy !req
322. Well, I'm not about to revamp
the entire judicial processCopy !req
323. just because you find yourself
in the unique positionCopy !req
324. of defending clients
who say they didn't do it.Copy !req
325. Now, the next words out of your mouth
are either gonna be "guilty" or "not guilty".Copy !req
326. I don't wanna hear commentary,
argument or opinion.Copy !req
327. If I hear anything other than
"guilty" or "not guilty",Copy !req
328. you'll be in contempt.Copy !req
329. I don't even wanna hear you clear your throat.Copy !req
330. I hope I've been clear.Copy !req
331. Now, how do your clients plead?Copy !req
332. I think I get the point.Copy !req
333. No. I don't think you do.Copy !req
334. You're now in contempt of court.Copy !req
335. - Will you go for two counts of contempt?
- Not guilty.Copy !req
336. Thank you.Copy !req
337. Bail will be set at $200,000.Copy !req
338. Preliminary hearing will be set
for 9.30 a.m. Tomorrow morning.Copy !req
339. Bailiff, please take Mr Gambini into custody.
His bail will be set at $200.Copy !req
340. Come with me, please.Copy !req
341. All rise as the judge leaves.Copy !req
342. You have to bail me out.
You know that, right?Copy !req
343. Let's go.Copy !req
344. They're gonna nuke
this guy Norton this weekend.Copy !req
345. Looks like it.Copy !req
346. You got one huge responsibility,
taking on this murder case.Copy !req
347. You screw up and those boys get fried.Copy !req
348. I know.Copy !req
349. - So you think you know what you're doin'?
- Yeah, I think I know what I'm doin'.Copy !req
350. You didn't look like you knew what you were
doin' today in that courtroom. Why is that?Copy !req
351. Well, it's a lot of procedure,
that's all. I'll learn it as I go.Copy !req
352. - Learn as you go?
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
353. - Didn't they teach that in law school?
- No, they didn't.Copy !req
354. They teach you contracts,
precedence, interpretations.Copy !req
355. Then the firm that hires you,
they teach you procedures.Copy !req
356. - Or you can go to court and watch.
- So why don't you go to court and watch?Copy !req
357. Because, between your father's garage and
working nights, when was I supposed to go?Copy !req
358. I thought this summer I would
take off a couple of months.Copy !req
359. But it ain't no big deal.Copy !req
360. - Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.Copy !req
361. How can you be so sure when you don't
know what it is you're supposed to know?Copy !req
362. It's a procedure. Like rebuilding
a carburettor has a procedure.Copy !req
363. You know how the first thing you do is
you take the carburettor off the manifold?Copy !req
364. Suppose you skip the first step, and as you're
replacing one of the jets, you drop the jet.Copy !req
365. It goes down, rolls along the manifold
and into the head. You're fucked.Copy !req
366. You've learned the hard way that
you gotta remove the carburettor first.Copy !req
367. That's what happened to me today.
I learned the hard way.Copy !req
368. Actually, it was a good
learning experience for me.Copy !req
369. All right. Well, is there any way I could
help out in this procedure situation?Copy !req
370. Yeah. Keep bailing me out.Copy !req
371. We can't afford to keep bailing you out.
I've cashed in half the traveller's cheques.Copy !req
372. I didn't wanna cash 'em in,
but I didn't wanna bounce a cheque.Copy !req
373. I tried hustling the money,
but I got stiffed, so I cashed...Copy !req
374. Whoa, whoa. What do you mean, you got
stiffed? Did you say you got stiffed?Copy !req
375. Hey. Vincent La Guardia Gambini.Copy !req
376. - His name's JT.
- JT.Copy !req
377. I believe you and Lisa played
a game of pool for $200, which she won.Copy !req
378. I'm here to collect.Copy !req
379. - How about if I just kick your ass?
- A counteroffer?Copy !req
380. That's what we lawyers - I'm a lawyer -
we lawyers call that a "counteroffer".Copy !req
381. Let me see. This is a tough decision.Copy !req
382. Get my ass kicked or collect $200?Copy !req
383. What do you think?Copy !req
384. I could use a good ass kicking,
I'll be very honest with you.Copy !req
385. Nah, I think I'll just go with the 200.Copy !req
386. Over my dead body.Copy !req
387. You like to renegotiate as you go along, huh?Copy !req
388. OK, then. Here's my counteroffer.Copy !req
389. Do I have to kill you? What if I was just
to kick the everlovin' shit outta you?Copy !req
390. - In your dreams.
- No, no, no. In reality.Copy !req
391. If I was to kick the shit outta you,
do I get the money?Copy !req
392. - If you kicked the shit outta me?
- Yeah.Copy !req
393. Yeah, then you get the money.Copy !req
394. - What happened? Rear-ended?
- No, I fell.Copy !req
395. OK. Let's see if we agree on the terms.Copy !req
396. The choice now is I get my ass kickedCopy !req
397. or, option B, I kick your ass
and collect the 200.Copy !req
398. I'm going with option B.
Kicking your ass and collecting $200.Copy !req
399. - Are we gonna fight now?
- Yeah. First, let me see the money.Copy !req
400. - I have the money.
- All right. Let me see it. Show it to me.Copy !req
401. - I can get it.
- You can get it?Copy !req
402. All right. Get it.Copy !req
403. And then we'll fight.Copy !req
404. You fell in your place or somebody else's?Copy !req
405. - My place.
- Shit.Copy !req
406. He blew the arraignment.
It's a simple procedure.Copy !req
407. You heard the judge. All he had
to do was say "guilty" or "not guilty".Copy !req
408. So? What are you saying?Copy !req
409. What am I saying? You saw what happened
in there. You wanna stay with him after that?Copy !req
410. Shit, Stan. I don't wanna fire him.Copy !req
411. He's family. And my mother,
the way her health is right now...Copy !req
412. I appreciate that. But should you die for that?Copy !req
413. Wouldn't your mother
be more upset if you die?Copy !req
414. The thing is, given the chance,
I think he could do a good job.Copy !req
415. - No, you're wrong.
- Come on, fellas, knock it off. Let's go.Copy !req
416. Stan, listen.
You have to see the Gambinis in action.Copy !req
417. These people, they love to argue.
I mean, they live to argue.Copy !req
418. My parents argue, too -
that doesn't make them lawyers.Copy !req
419. Stan, I've seen your parents argue.
Trust me, they're amateurs.Copy !req
420. Is that a drip I hear?Copy !req
421. Yeah.Copy !req
422. Weren't you the last one
to use the bathroom?Copy !req
423. So?Copy !req
424. - Did you use the faucet?
- Yeah.Copy !req
425. - Then why didn't you turn it off?
- I did turn it off.Copy !req
426. Well, if you turned it off,
why am I listening to it?Copy !req
427. Did it occur to you it could be
turned off and drip at the same time?Copy !req
428. No. If you turned it off, it wouldn't drip.Copy !req
429. - Maybe it's broken.
- Is that what you're saying? It's broken?Copy !req
430. Yeah, that's it. It's broken.Copy !req
431. - You sure?
- I'm positive.Copy !req
432. - Maybe you didn't twist it hard enough?
- I twisted it just right.Copy !req
433. How could you be so sure?Copy !req
434. If you will look in the manual, you will
see that this particular model faucetCopy !req
435. requires a range of 10 to 16
foot-pounds of torque.Copy !req
436. I routinely twist to
maximum-allowable torquage.Copy !req
437. How could you be sure
you used 16 foot-pounds of torque?Copy !req
438. Because I used a Craftsman model 1019
laboratory editionCopy !req
439. Signature Series torque wrench.Copy !req
440. The kind used by Caltech
high-energy physicistsCopy !req
441. and NASA engineers.Copy !req
442. Well, in that case, how could
you be sure that's accurate?Copy !req
443. Because a split second before the torque
wrench was applied to the faucet handle,Copy !req
444. it had been calibrated by top membersCopy !req
445. of the state and federal
department of weights and measuresCopy !req
446. to be dead-on balls accurate.Copy !req
447. Here's a certificate of validation.Copy !req
448. Dead-on balls accurate?Copy !req
449. It's an industry term.Copy !req
450. I guess the fucking thing is broken.Copy !req
451. We gotta move.Copy !req
452. Then I heard two loud bangs,
like firecrackers.Copy !req
453. I looked up and saw two young men
run out from the Sac-o-SudsCopy !req
454. and jump into a green car
with a white convertible top,Copy !req
455. and drive off like the dickens.Copy !req
456. Miss Riley, are those two young men
present in the courtroom?Copy !req
457. - Yes, sir. They are.
- Could you point 'em out for me, please?Copy !req
458. They sittin' right there.Copy !req
459. Now, Mrs Riley, is this the car?Copy !req
460. - Yes, sir. It is.
- Thank you, ma'am.Copy !req
461. Let the records show Mrs Constance Riley
identified the defendants' car.Copy !req
462. I was makin' my breakfast.Copy !req
463. I saw them two boys go into the store.Copy !req
464. Then later I heard a gunshot.Copy !req
465. Looked out the window.Copy !req
466. They were running out.
Got into the car and drove off.Copy !req
467. Is this the car?Copy !req
468. Yes. It is.Copy !req
469. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
470. Then you saw those two boys run out o' the
Sac-o-Suds, jump in this car and take off?Copy !req
471. Yeah. They peeled away.
Car was all over the road.Copy !req
472. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
473. I asked him if he did it,
and he said "I shot the clerk."Copy !req
474. I asked him again, and again
he said "I shot the clerk."Copy !req
475. Your Honour, no further questions.Copy !req
476. - Mr Gambini.
- Yes.Copy !req
477. - Do you have anything to add?
- Thing? What thing?Copy !req
478. Not for me to say.Copy !req
479. No, sir.Copy !req
480. You can stand down.Copy !req
481. - Do you have any other witnesses?
- No, Your Honour.Copy !req
482. The court finds sufficient evidence
exists for this matter to go to trial.Copy !req
483. I'm setting this matter for trial
this Monday, February 2, 10 a.m.Copy !req
484. Mr Gambini.Copy !req
485. Stand up.Copy !req
486. Now, didn't I tell you next time you appear in
my courtroom that you dress appropriately?Copy !req
487. You were serious about that?Copy !req
488. - Why didn't you ask them any questions?
- Questions? Ask who questions?Copy !req
489. You knew you could ask questions.
Didn't you, Vin?Copy !req
490. If you'd put up a fight, you could have
gotten the case thrown out.Copy !req
491. Hey, Stan. You're in Ala-fuckin'-bama.Copy !req
492. You come from New York.
You killed a good old boy.Copy !req
493. There is no way this is not going to trial.Copy !req
494. What the fuck is goin' on here, Vinny?
You fuckin' up this case or what?Copy !req
495. I told you. It's just procedure.
I'm bound to fuck up a little.Copy !req
496. A little? You got thrown in jail. Twice.Copy !req
497. I know I was in jail. I don't need you
to point it out to me, OK?Copy !req
498. You're my fiancee.
You're supposed to stand by your man.Copy !req
499. You know, encourage me a little bit.
A little encouragement.Copy !req
500. Is that what you want? I'm sorry.
You were wonderful in there.Copy !req
501. The way you handled that judge...
You're a smooth talker. You are.Copy !req
502. All right, knock it off. Knock it off.Copy !req
503. Do you think I like fuckin' up? Is that it?Copy !req
504. You raggin' on me is not gonna give me
any great spontaneous knowledge.Copy !req
505. - Yeah?
- So shut it.Copy !req
506. - You done readin'?
- Yeah.Copy !req
507. Do you wanna go to bed?Copy !req
508. I don't know. I don't feel good.Copy !req
509. You shouldn't feel good.
You haven't slept much in three days.Copy !req
510. That's part of it. You know what it is?Copy !req
511. I'm... I'm really scared.Copy !req
512. You should be.Copy !req
513. How the fuck did I get into this shit?Copy !req
514. "Sure. No problem. I could win the case."Copy !req
515. I already got myself sent to jail twice.Copy !req
516. I could win this thing, though.
I know I could.Copy !req
517. If I could keep my ass awake and outta jail
long enough, betcha I could, huh?Copy !req
518. You know what I think? Honestly?Copy !req
519. I think that once you're out there
and you're doin' your thing,Copy !req
520. I think you're gonna be really great.Copy !req
521. Really great.Copy !req
522. If you don't fuck up.Copy !req
523. If this was a conspiracy,
they'd have to get all those people to lie.Copy !req
524. Do you think that's what's happening?Copy !req
525. Look, I think we should meet with
the public defender. See what he's like.Copy !req
526. If he's honest, then we should go with him.Copy !req
527. All right.Copy !req
528. - That's death row in there.
- It is?Copy !req
529. The chair ain't working like it used to.Copy !req
530. The guy we fried last week - took us
three attempts and his head caught fire.Copy !req
531. See, there's no money in the budget
to get it looked at.Copy !req
532. I say it'd be cheaper to get it fixed than
keeping running up them extra electric bills.Copy !req
533. Hi, Stanley.Copy !req
534. My name is John GibbonsCopy !req
535. and I'm an attorney
in the public defender's office.Copy !req
536. - Hi, John.
- Hey.Copy !req
537. Now, the evidence against you
is pretty strong, soCopy !req
538. why don't you just tell me
your side of the story?Copy !req
539. - Hey, Vin.
- Hey, Billy.Copy !req
540. How are ya?Copy !req
541. - How do you feel? OK?
- All right.Copy !req
542. - Where's Stan?
- Stan, he's not comin'.Copy !req
543. He's...Copy !req
544. Well, he wants to go with the public defender.Copy !req
545. Listen, Vin...Copy !req
546. I'm going with the public defender, too.Copy !req
547. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I just didn't know
what little experience you have with this.Copy !req
548. - What, are you scared?
- Yeah, I'm scared.Copy !req
549. Maybe I could have handled
the preliminary a little better.Copy !req
550. But what's most important
is winning the case.Copy !req
551. I could do it. I really could.Copy !req
552. Let me tell you how, OK?Copy !req
553. The DA's gotta build a case.
Building a case is like building a house.Copy !req
554. Each piece of evidence is a building block.Copy !req
555. He wants to make
a brick bunker of a building.Copy !req
556. He wants to use serious,
solid-looking bricks, like these, right?Copy !req
557. - Right.
- Let me show you something.Copy !req
558. He's gonna show you the bricks.
He'll show you they got straight sides.Copy !req
559. He'll show you how they got the right shape.Copy !req
560. He'll show them to you
in a very special wayCopy !req
561. so that they appear to have
everything a brick should have.Copy !req
562. But there's one thing
he's not gonna show you.Copy !req
563. When you look at the bricks at the right
angle, they're as thin as this playing card.Copy !req
564. His whole case is an illusion, a magic trick.Copy !req
565. It has to be an illusion, cos you're innocent.Copy !req
566. Nobody, I mean nobody, pulls the wool over
the eyes of a Gambini. Especially this one.Copy !req
567. Give me the chance. One chance.Copy !req
568. Let me question the first witness.Copy !req
569. If, after that point, you don't think that I'm the
best man for the job, fire me then and there.Copy !req
570. I'll leave quietly. No grudges.Copy !req
571. All I ask is for that one chance.Copy !req
572. I think you should give it to me.Copy !req
573. You should give it to him? What was he
before he was a lawyer? A fuckin' comedian?Copy !req
574. If he doesn't ask the right questions,
your lawyer will.Copy !req
575. No, he can still fuck things up.Copy !req
576. Cross-examination is about knowing
what to say and what not to say.Copy !req
577. Let's say he asks all the possible questions,
and the witness has all the answers.Copy !req
578. He ends up proving the prosecution's case.Copy !req
579. How did he ever talk you into it?Copy !req
580. At my cousin Ruthie's wedding,
the groom's brother was that guy Ali Kazam.Copy !req
581. - You know who I'm talkin' about?
- The magician with the ponytail?Copy !req
582. Right. He did his act, and every time he made
something disappear, Vinny jumped on him.Copy !req
583. He nailed him. It was like
"It's in his pocket" or "He's palming it."Copy !req
584. Or "There's a mirror under the table."Copy !req
585. He was like "Wait. It's joined in the middle
and there's a spring around it."Copy !req
586. "It pops it open when it's inside the tube."Copy !req
587. It was like Ali Kazam's worst nightmare.Copy !req
588. But he was just being Vinny.Copy !req
589. He was just being
the quintessential Gambini.Copy !req
590. There goes the quintessential Norton.Copy !req
591. Lookee here, JT.Copy !req
592. Hey, hey, little Yankee boy.
Look here what I got.Copy !req
593. - What is it?
- $200.Copy !req
594. Bring it here. Let me see it.Copy !req
595. How do I know that's not a bunch
of ones with a 20 wrapped around it?Copy !req
596. - It's 200 bucks.
- Fan it out. Show it to me.Copy !req
597. Yeah, right.Copy !req
598. Does that freight train come through
at 5 a.m. Every morning?Copy !req
599. No, sir. It's very unusual.Copy !req
600. OK.Copy !req
601. I was making a lot of money,
winning most of my cases.Copy !req
602. Thank you, Shirley.Copy !req
603. But my clients were guilty as hell.Copy !req
604. Finally, after getting this fella off some
serious charges for the fourth time,Copy !req
605. I tell you the truth, my conscience got to me.Copy !req
606. I'd be serving justice more
by putting the guilty in jail.Copy !req
607. That's what I've been doing and
I'm a happier man for it.Copy !req
608. - How about you?
- Well, I got a bullshit traffic ticket.Copy !req
609. In court, I got the cop on the standCopy !req
610. and argued with him until
he admitted he was wrong.Copy !req
611. And the judge, this Judge Malloy,
all the while, he's laughing and smiling,Copy !req
612. and then, afterwards,
he asked me to go to lunch with him.Copy !req
613. Then he says to me "You know what?
You'd be a good litigator."Copy !req
614. I don't know what the hell he was talking
about. I don't know what a litigator is.Copy !req
615. I never thought of becoming a lawyer.
But Judge Malloy was from Brooklyn, too.Copy !req
616. I mean, he did it.
So all of a sudden it seemed possible.Copy !req
617. So I went to law school.Copy !req
618. Then from time to time, he would come by,
see how I was doin', if I needed anything.Copy !req
619. He was a nice man.Copy !req
620. I mean, to go out of his way
like that for me, you know?Copy !req
621. He wanted his son to follow in his footsteps,
but he became a musician or something.Copy !req
622. I remember when I graduated,
he was so proud of me.Copy !req
623. That's quite a story.Copy !req
624. Yeah.Copy !req
625. - We got some case ahead of us here, huh?
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
626. - How do you feel about it?
- Well, I...Copy !req
627. I'd like to have a murder weapon.Copy !req
628. But, other than that, I feel pretty good.Copy !req
629. - You do?
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
630. What you doin' this afternoon?Copy !req
631. - You're goin' hunting?
- That's right.Copy !req
632. Why are you goin' hunting?
Shouldn't you be preparing for court?Copy !req
633. I was thinkin' last night "If only
I knew what he knows." You know?Copy !req
634. If he'd let me look at his files. Oh, boy.Copy !req
635. I don't get it. What does getting to
Trotter's files have to do with hunting?Copy !req
636. Well, you know. Two guys
out in the woods, guns, on the hunt.Copy !req
637. It's a bonding thing, you know.
Show him I'm one of the boys.Copy !req
638. He won't let me see his files, but maybe
he'll relax enough to drop his guardCopy !req
639. so that I can finesse
a little information out of him.Copy !req
640. - What am I gonna wear?
- What are you gonna hunt?Copy !req
641. I don't know. He's got a lot
of stuffed heads in his office.Copy !req
642. Heads? What kind of heads?Copy !req
643. I don't know. He's got a boar,
a bear, a couple of deer.Copy !req
644. Whoa. You're gonna shoot a deer?Copy !req
645. I don't know. I suppose. I mean, I'm
a man's man. I could go deer hunting.Copy !req
646. A sweet, innocent, harmless,
leaf-eating, doe-eyed little deer.Copy !req
647. Hey, Lisa. I'm not gonna go out
there just to wimp out, you know?Copy !req
648. I mean, the guy'll lose respect for me.
Would you rather have that?Copy !req
649. What about these pants I got on?
You think they're OK?Copy !req
650. Imagine you're a deer.Copy !req
651. You're prancing along. You get thirsty.
You spot a little brook.Copy !req
652. You put your little deer lips
down to the cool, clear water.Copy !req
653. Bam. A fuckin' bullet rips off
part of your head.Copy !req
654. Your brains are layin'
on the ground in little bloody pieces.Copy !req
655. Would you give a fuck what kind of pantsCopy !req
656. the son of a bitch
who shot you was wearing?Copy !req
657. I'd sure like to get a look at your files.Copy !req
658. - You would?
- Sure.Copy !req
659. You got a Xerox machine over there?Copy !req
660. No.Copy !req
661. That's OK. I'll have my secretary do it.Copy !req
662. Shirley, can you Xerox all the files on the
Gambini/Rothenstein case for Mr Gambini?Copy !req
663. Yeah. Thanks, sweetheart.Copy !req
664. - What's all that?
- Trotter's files. All of 'em.Copy !req
665. - You stole his files?
- I didn't steal his files.Copy !req
666. Listen to this. I'm just ready to finesse him.
I'm starting to finesse him. I got him goin'.Copy !req
667. He offers to have his secretary
copy everything for me.Copy !req
668. - That's very impressive finessing.
- That's not all.Copy !req
669. He's letting us use his hunting cabin
when he gets back.Copy !req
670. It's in the woods. It's quiet.
He sleeps like a baby when he's there.Copy !req
671. Terrific. You're a helluva bonder.Copy !req
672. What's this? Are you reading this book?Copy !req
673. - Yeah.
- Do me a favour, OK? Don't read this book.Copy !req
674. OK? Thank you very much.Copy !req
675. All right.Copy !req
676. Don't you wanna know
why Trotter gave you his files?Copy !req
677. I told you why already.Copy !req
678. He has to by law. You're entitled.
It's called disclosure, you dickhead.Copy !req
679. He has to show you everything,
otherwise it could be a mistrial.Copy !req
680. He has to give you a list of all his witnesses.
You can talk to all his witnesses.Copy !req
681. He's not allowed any surprises.Copy !req
682. They didn't teach you that
in law school either?Copy !req
683. Now let me ask you this.Copy !req
684. How many levels of thickness
have you gone through?Copy !req
685. - What'd you have for breakfast?
- Well...Copy !req
686. What's that brown stuff?Copy !req
687. Yesterday you told me that freight train
hardly ever comes through here at 5 a.m.Copy !req
688. I know. She's supposed
to come through at ten after four.Copy !req
689. Can you participate in this - in which the
final decision may be death by electrocution?Copy !req
690. Ma'am?Copy !req
691. I think it should be left up to the victims'
families, rather than the courts.Copy !req
692. The defendants in this case are charged
with robbing a convenience store.Copy !req
693. And then, in a most cowardly fashion,
shooting the clerk in the back.Copy !req
694. Now, if sufficient evidence is offered
to prove these facts, you think you could...Copy !req
695. Fry 'em.Copy !req
696. She'll do.Copy !req
697. Mr Gambini. Come in. Come in.Copy !req
698. I just got a fax from the New York
State Office of Judicial Records.Copy !req
699. They have no recordsCopy !req
700. of any Vincent Gambini ever trying
any case in the entire state of New York.Copy !req
701. You're not gonna find any records of Vincent
La Guardia Gambini practising in any courts.Copy !req
702. - I just told you that.
- You don't understand.Copy !req
703. See, 20 years ago, I became a actor.Copy !req
704. There was this prominent stage actor
in New York. His name was Vincent Gambini.Copy !req
705. - Maybe you heard of him.
- No.Copy !req
706. Never heard of him? Doesn't matter. Anyway,
I had to change my name, which I did legally.Copy !req
707. So now I practise law under
my legally changed stage name.Copy !req
708. - What name is that?
- Jerry Ga...Copy !req
709. Jerry Gallo.Copy !req
710. You can still call me Gambini.Copy !req
711. Sorry.Copy !req
712. - What name did you tell him?
- Jerry Gallo.Copy !req
713. - Jerry Gallo? The big attorney?
- Yeah.Copy !req
714. - Think that was a smart move?
- Yeah. He's a seriously accomplished lawyer.Copy !req
715. His name'll show up all over the place.Copy !req
716. - His name was in the papers all last week.
- I saw that.Copy !req
717. - You didn't actually read the articles?
- No.Copy !req
718. - That's too bad.
- Why is that?Copy !req
719. Cos he's dead.Copy !req
720. What's the matter with you?Copy !req
721. I dunno.Copy !req
722. - You're acting like you're nervous.
- Well, yeah. I am.Copy !req
723. Why? I'm the one that's under the gun.
The trial starts tomorrow.Copy !req
724. You wanna know what
I'm nervous about? I'll tell you.Copy !req
725. I am in the dark here with this legal crap.
I have no idea what's goin' on.Copy !req
726. All's I know is you're screwin' up
and I can't help.Copy !req
727. - You lent me your little camera, didn't ya?
- Oh, Vinny.Copy !req
728. I'm watchin' you go down in flames, bringin'
me with you, and I can't do anything about it.Copy !req
729. And?Copy !req
730. I hate to bring it up - I know
you got enough pressure on you -Copy !req
731. but we agreed to get married
when you won your first case.Copy !req
732. Meanwhile, ten years later, my niece, the
daughter of my sister, is gettin' married.Copy !req
733. My biological clock is tickin' like this,Copy !req
734. and the way this case is goin',
I ain't never gettin' married.Copy !req
735. Lisa, I don't need this. I swear to God,
I do not need this right now, OK?Copy !req
736. I got a judge that's just aching
to throw me in jail.Copy !req
737. An idiot who wants to fight me for $200.Copy !req
738. Slaughtered pigs. Giant loud whistles.Copy !req
739. I ain't slept in five days.Copy !req
740. I got no money. A dress-code problem.Copy !req
741. And a little murder case which, in the
balance, holds the lives of two innocent kids.Copy !req
742. Not to mention your
biological clock, my career,Copy !req
743. your life, our marriage,
and let me see, what else can we pile on?Copy !req
744. Is there any more shit we can pile on
to the top of the outcome of this case?Copy !req
745. Is it possible?Copy !req
746. Maybe it was a bad time to bring it up.Copy !req
747. What the fuck is that?Copy !req
748. This is very romantic.Copy !req
749. Out here in this field,
under the stars, quiet.Copy !req
750. No one around for miles.Copy !req
751. It's very romantic.Copy !req
752. I don't see no stars.Copy !req
753. Honey, move. My back.Copy !req
754. I have to get up.Copy !req
755. Wait. Let me...Copy !req
756. This fuckin' jacket.Copy !req
757. Fuck.Copy !req
758. - You OK?
- What was in that plastic thing in the trunk?Copy !req
759. It's your suit.Copy !req
760. - What is my suit doing in the trunk?
- I had it cleaned.Copy !req
761. I thought it'd be a nice surprise -
go in there with a clean suit.Copy !req
762. I have 30 fuckin' minutes to take a shower,
get a new suit and get to the courthouse.Copy !req
763. - You fuckin' shower, I'll get your fuckin' suit.
- Little Yankee wuss.Copy !req
764. Look here. Got your $200.Copy !req
765. You gonna kick the shit out of me now?Copy !req
766. Mr Gambini,
are you mockin' me with that outfit?Copy !req
767. Mockin' you? I'm not mockin' you, Judge.Copy !req
768. Then explain that outfit.Copy !req
769. I bought a suit. You seen it.
Now it's covered in mud.Copy !req
770. This town doesn't have a one-hour cleaners,
so I had to buy a new suit.Copy !req
771. Except that the only store you could
buy a new suit in has got the flu.Copy !req
772. You get that? The whole store got the flu.Copy !req
773. So I had to get this in a second-hand store.Copy !req
774. So, it's either wear the leather jacket -
which I know you hate - or this.Copy !req
775. So I wore this ridiculous thing for you.Copy !req
776. Are you on drugs?Copy !req
777. Drugs? No. I don't take drugs.Copy !req
778. - I don't like your attitude.
- What else is new?Copy !req
779. - I'm holding you in contempt of court.
- There's a fuckin' surprise.Copy !req
780. - What'd you say?
- What?Copy !req
781. What'd you just say?Copy !req
782. What'd I say? What?Copy !req
783. Your Honour, counsel, members of the jury.Copy !req
784. The evidence in this case is gonna show
that at 9.30 in the morning of January 4th,Copy !req
785. both defendants, Stanley Rothenstein
and William Gambini,Copy !req
786. were seen gettin' out of theirCopy !req
787. metallic green 1964 Buick Skylark
convertible with a white top.Copy !req
788. It's gonna show they were seen entering the
Sac-o-Suds convenience store in Wazoo City.Copy !req
789. The evidence is gonna show that,
minutes after they entered the Sac-o-Suds,Copy !req
790. a gunshot was heard by three eyewitnesses.Copy !req
791. You will then hear the testimony
of the three eyewitnessesCopy !req
792. who saw the defendants runnin' out of the
Sac-o-Suds just after the shots were heard,Copy !req
793. gettin' into their faded metallic green 1964
Buick Skylark and drivin' off in great haste.Copy !req
794. Finally, the state is gonna prove that
the defendants, Gambini and Rothenstein,Copy !req
795. admitted then recanted their testimony
to the sheriff of Beechum County.Copy !req
796. Now let's get down to it.Copy !req
797. Your verdict is gonna depend on
what you think of the sworn testimony.Copy !req
798. Not what I think. What I think don't count.Copy !req
799. You're the jury. It's your job
to decide who's tellin' the truth.Copy !req
800. Truth. That's what "verdict" means.Copy !req
801. It's a word that comes down from ol'
England, and all our little ol' ancestors.Copy !req
802. Now, we're gonna be asking
you to return a verdictCopy !req
803. of murder in the first degree
for William GambiniCopy !req
804. and a verdict of accessory to murder in the
first degree for Stanley Rothenstein,Copy !req
805. for helping Gambini
commit this heinous crime.Copy !req
806. Counsellor, you wish to make
an opening statement?Copy !req
807. Counsellor?Copy !req
808. - Vinny.
- What?Copy !req
809. Come on, it's time to make
your opening statement.Copy !req
810. Come on, Vin.Copy !req
811. Everything that guy said is bullshit.Copy !req
812. Thank you.Copy !req
813. Objection, Your Honour. Counsel's
entire opening statement is argument.Copy !req
814. Objection sustained.
The entire opening statement,Copy !req
815. with the exception of "thank you",
will be stricken from the record.Copy !req
816. The jury will please disregard
counsel's entire opening statement.Copy !req
817. And you, Mr Gambini, will not use that kinda
language in my court. Understand?Copy !req
818. Yeah, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
819. Putz.Copy !req
820. Counsellor. Your statement, sir.Copy !req
821. Well, now.Copy !req
822. Ladies and gentlemen of the j-j-j...Copy !req
823. of-of the j-j-j...Copy !req
824. jury.Copy !req
825. On-on...Copy !req
826. On January ffffffff...Copy !req
827. fourth of this year, my client did indeed
visit the Sac-o-Suds c... co...Copy !req
828. convenience store.Copy !req
829. But-butCopy !req
830. he didn'tCopy !req
831. kill anyone. He...Copy !req
832. We intend to prove that the ppppp...Copy !req
833. prosecution's case
is circumstantial and-and-andCopy !req
834. coincidental. Thank you.Copy !req
835. That's it? What about
everything we talked about?Copy !req
836. - I get a little nervous...
- A little?Copy !req
837. I'm gettin' better.Copy !req
838. I heard a gunshot, so I looked out the windowCopy !req
839. and I seen them two boys
run out, get into their car,Copy !req
840. and drive off like maniacs, their tyres
screechin', smokin', goin' up on the kerb.Copy !req
841. Is this the car?Copy !req
842. - Yes, sir.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
843. No further questions, Your Honour.Copy !req
844. Your witness.Copy !req
845. All right. Mr T-T-T...Copy !req
846. Tipton.Copy !req
847. Now, when you viewed my clients,Copy !req
848. - how-how far away were you?
- About 50 feet.Copy !req
849. Now, do you think that that's close enough
to make an accurate I-I-I-identification?Copy !req
850. Yes.Copy !req
851. - Mr Tipton, I see you wear eyeglasses.
- Sometimes.Copy !req
852. Would you care to show those eyeglasses
to the jury, please? Thank you.Copy !req
853. Thank you. Mr Tipton,
were you wearing them that day?Copy !req
854. - No.
- You see.Copy !req
855. You were 50 feet away, you made
a positive eyewitness identification,Copy !req
856. and-and-and yetCopy !req
857. you were not wearing your
necessary prescription eyeglasses.Copy !req
858. They're reading glasses.Copy !req
859. Well, Mr...Copy !req
860. Could you tell the court
what colour eyes the defendants have?Copy !req
861. Brown. Hazel green.Copy !req
862. No more questions.Copy !req
863. Mr Gambini. Your witness.Copy !req
864. - He's a tough one.
- Yes.Copy !req
865. Mr Tipton.Copy !req
866. When you viewed the defendantsCopy !req
867. walkin' from their car into the Sac-o-Suds,
what angle was your point of view?Copy !req
868. They was kind of walking toward me
when they entered the store.Copy !req
869. And when they left,
what angle was your point of view?Copy !req
870. They was kind of walkin' away from me.Copy !req
871. So would you say you got a better shot of
them goin' in, and not so much comin' out?Copy !req
872. - You could say that.
- I did say that. Would you say that?Copy !req
873. Yeah.Copy !req
874. Is it possible the two youths...Copy !req
875. Two what?Copy !req
876. What was that word?Copy !req
877. - What word?
- Two what?Copy !req
878. - What?
- Did you say "yoots"?Copy !req
879. - Yeah. "Two youths."
- What is a yoot?Copy !req
880. Excuse me, Your Honour. Two youths.Copy !req
881. Is it possible the two defendantsCopy !req
882. entered the store, picked 22
specific items off of the shelves,Copy !req
883. had the clerk take money,
make change, then leave.Copy !req
884. Then, two different men
drive up in a similar...Copy !req
885. Don't shake your head. Wait till you hear
the whole thing so you can understand.Copy !req
886. Two different men drive up
in a similar-looking car,Copy !req
887. go in, shoot the clerk,
rob him and then leave?Copy !req
888. No. They didn't have enough time.Copy !req
889. - How much time was they in the store?
- Five minutes.Copy !req
890. - Five minutes? Did you look at your watch?
- No.Copy !req
891. Oh, I'm sorry. You testified earlier
that the boys went into the storeCopy !req
892. and you had just begun to make breakfast.Copy !req
893. You were just ready to eat
and you heard a gunshot.Copy !req
894. So obviously it takes you five minutes
to make breakfast, so you knew that.Copy !req
895. - Do you remember what you had?
- Eggs and grits.Copy !req
896. Eggs and grits. I like grits, too.Copy !req
897. How do you cook your grits?
You like 'em regular, creamy or al dente?Copy !req
898. - Just regular, I guess.
- Regular. Instant grits?Copy !req
899. No self-respectin' Southerner uses
instant grits. I take pride in my grits.Copy !req
900. So, Mr Tipton.Copy !req
901. How could it take you
five minutes to cook your gritsCopy !req
902. when it takes the entire
grit-eating world 20 minutes?Copy !req
903. I dunno. I'm a fast cook, I guess.Copy !req
904. I'm sorry, I was over here. I couldn't hear.
Did you say you're a fast cook? That's it?Copy !req
905. Are we to believe that boiling water
soaks into a grit faster in your kitchenCopy !req
906. than on any place on the face of the earth?Copy !req
907. I don't know.Copy !req
908. Perhaps the laws of physics
cease to exist on your stove.Copy !req
909. Were these magic grits?Copy !req
910. Did you buy them from the same guy
who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?Copy !req
911. - Objection, Your Honour.
- Sustained.Copy !req
912. - Are you sure about that five minutes?
- I don't know.Copy !req
913. - I think you made your point.
- Are you sure about that five minutes?Copy !req
914. I may have been mistaken.Copy !req
915. I got no more use for this guy.Copy !req
916. You're fired.Copy !req
917. I want him.Copy !req
918. Come on, now. Move it.Copy !req
919. - Don't worry. I'll bail you out.
- Don't. I'm gonna stay in prison tonight.Copy !req
920. Maybe I can finally get some sleep.
I'm doin' good, huh?Copy !req
921. Hey, how ya doin'?Copy !req
922. Hey, Mr Crane. What are these pictures of?Copy !req
923. - My house and stuff.
- House and stuff.Copy !req
924. And what is this brown stuff
on the windows?Copy !req
925. - Dirt.
- Dirt.Copy !req
926. What is this rusty, dusty,
dirty-lookin' thing over your window?Copy !req
927. - It's a screen.
- A screen.Copy !req
928. It's a screen.Copy !req
929. What are these really big things
right in the middle of your viewCopy !req
930. from the window of your kitchen
to the Sac-o-Suds?Copy !req
931. What do we call these big things?Copy !req
932. - Trees?
- Trees, that's right.Copy !req
933. Don't be afraid.
Just shout 'em out when you know.Copy !req
934. Now, what are these thousands
of little things that are on trees?Copy !req
935. - Leaves.
- Leaves.Copy !req
936. And these bushy things between the trees?Copy !req
937. - Bushes.
- Bushes.Copy !req
938. So, Mr Crane.Copy !req
939. You could positively identify the defendants
for a moment of two secondsCopy !req
940. looking through this dirty window,
this crud-covered screen,Copy !req
941. these trees with all these leaves on them,
and I don't know how many bushes.Copy !req
942. - Looks like five.
- Don't forget this one and this one.Copy !req
943. - Seven bushes.
- Seven bushes. So, what do you think?Copy !req
944. Is it possible you just saw
two guys in a green convertible,Copy !req
945. and not necessarily
these two particular guys?Copy !req
946. - I suppose.
- I'm finished with this guy.Copy !req
947. Mrs Riley, when you saw the defendants,
were you wearing your glasses?Copy !req
948. Yes, I was.Copy !req
949. Over here, dear.Copy !req
950. Would you mind puttin'
your glasses on for us, please?Copy !req
951. - Whoa. How long you been wearin' glasses?
- Since I was six.Copy !req
952. - Have they always been that thick?
- Oh, no. They got thicker over the years.Copy !req
953. So as your eyes have gotten more and more
outta whack as you've gotten older,Copy !req
954. how many different levels
of thickness have you gone through?Copy !req
955. I don't know.
Over sixty years, maybe ten times.Copy !req
956. - Maybe you're ready for a thicker set.
- Oh, no. No, I think they OK.Copy !req
957. Maybe we should make sure.
Let's check it out.Copy !req
958. Now, how far were the defendants from you
when you saw them entering the Sac-o-Suds?Copy !req
959. - About 100 feet.
- 100 feet.Copy !req
960. Would you hold this, please? Thank you.Copy !req
961. Sorry. Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry.Copy !req
962. OK. This is 50 feet. That's half the distance.Copy !req
963. How many fingers am I holding up?Copy !req
964. Let the records show that
counsel is holding up two fingers.Copy !req
965. Your Honour, please, huh?Copy !req
966. Sorry.Copy !req
967. Now, Mrs Riley, and only Mrs Riley,Copy !req
968. how many fingers am I holding up now?Copy !req
969. Four.Copy !req
970. What do you think now, dear?Copy !req
971. I'm thinkin' of gettin' thicker glasses.Copy !req
972. Thank you.Copy !req
973. - Hello.
- You did good out there today, Yankee.Copy !req
974. I like the competition. You like competition,
too? Makes things kinda fun, doesn't it?Copy !req
975. - I'm enjoying myself so far.
- I got a little surprise for you tomorrow.Copy !req
976. What's that? You know you have
to disclose all your evidence to me.Copy !req
977. I just got it myself. I'll disclose it first thing
in the morning. Judge gonna have to admit it.Copy !req
978. - Should I be worried?
- I sure would be if I were you.Copy !req
979. Honey, where did you read
about all that disclosure shit?Copy !req
980. Let me show you. Why?Copy !req
981. I'm a special automotive instructor
of forensic studies for the FBI.Copy !req
982. - How long you been in that position?
- 18 years.Copy !req
983. Your Honour.
May we approach the bench, please?Copy !req
984. If you wish.Copy !req
985. I object to this witness
being called at this time.Copy !req
986. We've been given no prior notice he'd testify,
no discovery of any tests he's conducted,Copy !req
987. and the defence is entitled to advance
notice of any witness who will testify,Copy !req
988. particularly those giving scientific evidence,
so we can prepare for cross-examination,Copy !req
989. and to give the defence an opportunity to
have reports reviewed by a defence expertCopy !req
990. who might then be in a position to
contradict the veracity of his conclusions.Copy !req
991. - Mr Gambini.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
992. That is a lucid, intelligent,
well thought-out objection.Copy !req
993. - Thank you, Your Honour.
- Overruled.Copy !req
994. Now, Mr Wilbur.Copy !req
995. These are photos of tyres
belonging to the defendants' car.Copy !req
996. And these are photos of the tyre marks left
by the assailants' car as it fled the store.Copy !req
997. - Now, are you familiar with these?
- Yes, I am.Copy !req
998. Could you elaborate, please, sir?Copy !req
999. We compared the tyre marks
outside the convenience storeCopy !req
1000. with the rear tyres of the defendants' car.Copy !req
1001. They're the same model and size tyre.Copy !req
1002. Michelin model XGV,
size 75R, 14-inch wheel.Copy !req
1003. They're the same size and model tyre.Copy !req
1004. - Anything else, sir?
- Yes, indeed.Copy !req
1005. The car, leaving the convenience store,
spun its rear tyres dramaticallyCopy !req
1006. and left a residue of rubber on the asphalt.Copy !req
1007. Now, I took a sample of that rubber
and analysed it.Copy !req
1008. I also took a sample of the rubberCopy !req
1009. from the rear tyres of the defendants'
Buick and analysed that, too.Copy !req
1010. What kind of equipment
did you use to find this out?Copy !req
1011. I used a Hewlett-Packard 57-10ACopy !req
1012. dual-column gas chromatograph
with flame analysation detectors.Copy !req
1013. Is that thing turbocharged?Copy !req
1014. Only on the floor models.Copy !req
1015. Now, Mr Wilbur.
What was the result of your analysis?Copy !req
1016. The chemical composition between
the two samples was found to be identical.Copy !req
1017. Identical.Copy !req
1018. No further questions, Your Honour.Copy !req
1019. - Your Honour.
- Thank you, Mr Wilbur.Copy !req
1020. Court'll take a 60-minute recess for lunch.Copy !req
1021. Your Honour, I respectfully request a full
day's continuance to go over this sh... stuff.Copy !req
1022. - Request denied.
- Thanks a lot.Copy !req
1023. - And, Mr Gambini.
- Yes, sir?Copy !req
1024. I'd like to speak to you in my chambers.Copy !req
1025. - You're a dead man.
- I'm a dead man?Copy !req
1026. I faxed the clerk of New York and asked
him what he knew about Jerry Gallo.Copy !req
1027. You wanna know what he replied?Copy !req
1028. - Did you say "Jerry Gallo"?
- Yes, I did.Copy !req
1029. - Gallo with a G?
- That's right.Copy !req
1030. Jerry Gallo's dead.Copy !req
1031. - I'm aware of that.
- Well, I'm not Jerry Gallo.Copy !req
1032. I'm Jerry Callo. C-A-L-L-O.Copy !req
1033. All right.Copy !req
1034. All right.Copy !req
1035. Let's get this cleared up right now.Copy !req
1036. Hello. This is Judge Chamberlain Haller.Copy !req
1037. Can I speak to the clerk?Copy !req
1038. OK. I'll be here.Copy !req
1039. He's gonna call back after three.Copy !req
1040. That gives you a stay of execution.Copy !req
1041. Unless by some miracle you happen
to win this case in the next 90 minutes.Copy !req
1042. Why don't you go to lunch?Copy !req
1043. Thanks.Copy !req
1044. - I got my pictures back.
- Good.Copy !req
1045. What'd the judge say?Copy !req
1046. He said he found out that Gallo is dead.Copy !req
1047. He found out. What'd he say?Copy !req
1048. Lisa, I'm tryin' to think about
the case now, OK? I'm sorry.Copy !req
1049. - Can I help?
- "Can I help?"Copy !req
1050. No, you can't help.
I wish you could, but you can't.Copy !req
1051. OK, you're lookin' at me.
What is that look supposed to mean?Copy !req
1052. I'm a piece of shit cos I can't
figure out a way for you to help?Copy !req
1053. OK, you're helpin'. I'll use your pictures.Copy !req
1054. These are gonna...
I'm sorry. These are gonna be a help.Copy !req
1055. I should have looked
at these pictures before.Copy !req
1056. I like this. This is our first hotel room, right?
That'll intimidate Trotter.Copy !req
1057. Here's one of me from behind.Copy !req
1058. I didn't think I could feel worse
than I did a second ago. Thank you.Copy !req
1059. Here's a good one of the tyre marks.
Could we get any farther away?Copy !req
1060. Where'd you shoot this from? Up in a tree?Copy !req
1061. What's this over here?Copy !req
1062. It's dog shit. Dog shit. That's great.Copy !req
1063. Dog shit. What a clue.
Why didn't I think of that?Copy !req
1064. Here's one of me reading. I should've asked
you a long time ago for these pictures.Copy !req
1065. Holy shit. You got it, honey.Copy !req
1066. You did it. The case cracker.
Me in the shower.Copy !req
1067. I love this. That's it.Copy !req
1068. That is it. I'm outta here.Copy !req
1069. Lisa.Copy !req
1070. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1071. Fuck.Copy !req
1072. I know I'm missin' somethin'.Copy !req
1073. Did you find anything?Copy !req
1074. Very, very little.Copy !req
1075. - Something?
- Nothin'.Copy !req
1076. Is it possible that two separate cars could
be driving on Michelin model XGV 75R-14s?Copy !req
1077. - Of course.
- Let me ask you this.Copy !req
1078. What's the best-selling single model tyre
being sold in the United States today?Copy !req
1079. The Michelin XGV.Copy !req
1080. - And what's the most popular size?
- 75R-14.Copy !req
1081. The same size as on the defendants' car.Copy !req
1082. But two faded green
1964 Buick Skylark convertibles?Copy !req
1083. Excuse me. What I'm askin' youCopy !req
1084. is if the most popular size of the most
popular tyre is on the defendants' car?Copy !req
1085. Well, yeah.Copy !req
1086. Yes.Copy !req
1087. Thank you.Copy !req
1088. No further questions.Copy !req
1089. The witness can stand down.Copy !req
1090. Counsel.Copy !req
1091. Yeah. Prosecution rests.Copy !req
1092. Mr Gambini. Your first witness.Copy !req
1093. I will ask you one more time,
and one more time only.Copy !req
1094. - If I ask you again...
- Your Honour...Copy !req
1095. Please, can I have a five-minute recess?Copy !req
1096. - My next witness is not in the courtroom.
- Three minutes. No more.Copy !req
1097. Sheriff, do me a favour. Please trace this.Copy !req
1098. - It's not my job. Do your own investigating.
- Please. I only have three minutes.Copy !req
1099. Lisa. Lisa, please. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, OK?Copy !req
1100. I need you in the courtroom,
and I need the phone.Copy !req
1101. Honey, come on. Stop it. I need the phone.
We have to make up. Let's make up.Copy !req
1102. We gotta go back inside.
Everybody's waitin' for us.Copy !req
1103. - We don't have a lot of time.
- Shut up.Copy !req
1104. - Gimme this.
- Fuck you.Copy !req
1105. What is it with you with that mouth?Copy !req
1106. Mr Gambini. Tell me why.Copy !req
1107. - Lisa, I need your help.
- I don't give a shit. Leave me alone.Copy !req
1108. Come on, I found it.Copy !req
1109. Your Honour, the defence calls as
its first witness Miss Mona Lisa Vito.Copy !req
1110. I object, Your Honour.
This person is not on the witness list.Copy !req
1111. This witness is a automobile expertCopy !req
1112. and is being called to rebut
the testimony of George Wilbur.Copy !req
1113. Your Honour, would you instruct the bailiff
to escort Miss Vito to the witness stand?Copy !req
1114. Hold up your right hand.
Do you swear to tell the truth,Copy !req
1115. - the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1116. Miss Vito. You're supposed to be some kinda
expert in automobiles. Is that correct?Copy !req
1117. Is that correct?Copy !req
1118. - Will you please answer the counsel?
- No. I hate him.Copy !req
1119. Your Honour, may I treat Miss Vito
as a hostile witness?Copy !req
1120. You think I'm hostile now,
wait till you see me tonight.Copy !req
1121. - Do you two know each other?
- Yeah, she's my fiancee.Copy !req
1122. Well, that would certainly
explain the hostility.Copy !req
1123. I object to this witness. Improper foundation.Copy !req
1124. I'm not aware of this person's qualifications.Copy !req
1125. I'd like to voir dire this witness
as to the extent of her expertise.Copy !req
1126. Granted.Copy !req
1127. Mr Trotter, you may proceed.Copy !req
1128. Miss Vito, what's your current profession?Copy !req
1129. - I'm an out-of-work hairdresser.
- Out-of-work hairdresser.Copy !req
1130. Now, in what way does that qualify
you as an expert in automobiles?Copy !req
1131. - It doesn't.
- Well, in what way are you qualified?Copy !req
1132. Well, my father was a mechanic.Copy !req
1133. His father was a mechanic.
My mother's father was a mechanic.Copy !req
1134. My three brothers are mechanics.
Four uncles on my father's side...Copy !req
1135. Miss Vito, your family's obviously qualified.Copy !req
1136. But, have you
ever worked as a mechanic?Copy !req
1137. - Yeah. In my father's garage, yeah.
- As a mechanic?Copy !req
1138. What'd you do in your father's garage?Copy !req
1139. Tune-ups, oil changes, brake relining,
engine rebuilds, rebuilds on trannies...Copy !req
1140. OK. OK. But does being an ex-mechanic
qualify you as being expert on tyre marks?Copy !req
1141. No. Thank you. Goodbye.Copy !req
1142. Sit down and stay there
until you're told to leave.Copy !req
1143. Your Honour. Miss Vito's expertise
is in general automotive knowledge.Copy !req
1144. It is in this area
that her testimony will be applicable.Copy !req
1145. Now, if Mr Trotter wishes
to voir dire the witnessCopy !req
1146. as to the extent of her expertise in this area,Copy !req
1147. I'm sure he's gonna be more than satisfied.Copy !req
1148. OK.Copy !req
1149. All right. All right.Copy !req
1150. Now, Miss Vito.Copy !req
1151. Being an expert on
general automotive knowledge,Copy !req
1152. can you tell meCopy !req
1153. what would the correct ignition
timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet,Copy !req
1154. with a 327 cubic-inch engine,
and a four-barrel carburettor?Copy !req
1155. - That's a bullshit question.
- Does that mean that you can't answer it?Copy !req
1156. It's impossible to answer.Copy !req
1157. - Because you don't know the answer.
- Nobody could answer that question.Copy !req
1158. Your Honour, I move to disqualify
Miss Vito as a expert witness.Copy !req
1159. - Can you answer the question?
- No. It is a trick question.Copy !req
1160. Why is it a trick question?Copy !req
1161. - Watch this.
- Cos Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55.Copy !req
1162. The 327 didn't come out till '62.Copy !req
1163. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air
with a four-barrel carb till '64.Copy !req
1164. However, in 1964 the correct ignition timingCopy !req
1165. would be four degrees
before top, dead centre.Copy !req
1166. Well...Copy !req
1167. She's acceptable, Your Honour.Copy !req
1168. Your Honour, this is a picture taken
by my fiancee outside the Sac-o-Suds.Copy !req
1169. Can we agree on this?Copy !req
1170. - Yeah.
- Thank you.Copy !req
1171. I'd like to submit this picture
of the tyre tracks as evidence.Copy !req
1172. Mr Trotter.Copy !req
1173. No objection, Your Honour.Copy !req
1174. - Miss Vito. Did you take this picture?
- You know I did.Copy !req
1175. - And what is this picture of?
- You know what it's of.Copy !req
1176. Miss Vito, it has been
argued by me, the defence,Copy !req
1177. that two sets of guys met up
at the Sac-o-Suds, at the same time,Copy !req
1178. driving identical metallic mint-green
1964 Buick Skylark convertibles.Copy !req
1179. Now, can you tell us,
by what you see in this picture,Copy !req
1180. if the defence's case holds water?Copy !req
1181. Miss Vito. Please answer the question.Copy !req
1182. Does the defence's case hold water?Copy !req
1183. No.Copy !req
1184. The defence is wrong.Copy !req
1185. - Are you sure?
- I'm positive.Copy !req
1186. How could you be so sure?Copy !req
1187. Because there is no way that these
tyre marks were made by a '64 Buick Skylark.Copy !req
1188. These marks were made
by a 1963 Pontiac Tempest.Copy !req
1189. Objection. Can we clarify whether
the witness is stating opinion or fact?Copy !req
1190. - This is your opinion?
- It's a fact.Copy !req
1191. I find it hard to believe
that this kind of informationCopy !req
1192. could be ascertained
simply by looking at a picture.Copy !req
1193. Would you like me to explain?Copy !req
1194. - I would love to hear this.
- So would I.Copy !req
1195. The car that made these two equal-length
tyre marks had positraction.Copy !req
1196. Can't make those marks without positraction,
which was not available on the '64 Skylark.Copy !req
1197. - And why not? What is positraction?
- It's a limited slip differentialCopy !req
1198. which distributes power equally
to both the right and left tyres.Copy !req
1199. The '64 Skylark had a regular differentialCopy !req
1200. which, anyone who's been
stuck in the mud knows,Copy !req
1201. you step on the gas, one tyre spins,
the other does nothin'.Copy !req
1202. That's right.Copy !req
1203. - Is that it?
- No. There's more.Copy !req
1204. When the left tyre mark goes up on the kerb
and the right tyre stays flat and even...Copy !req
1205. Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle,Copy !req
1206. so, when the left tyre goes up on the kerb,
the right tyre tilts and rides along its edge.Copy !req
1207. But that didn't happen here.
The tyre mark stayed flat and even.Copy !req
1208. This car had an independent rear suspension.Copy !req
1209. Now, in the '60s there were only two other
cars made in America that had positractionCopy !req
1210. and independent rear suspension,
and enough power to make these marks.Copy !req
1211. One was the Corvette, which could never
be confused with the Buick Skylark.Copy !req
1212. The other had the same body length,
height, width, weight,Copy !req
1213. wheel base and wheel track
as the '64 Skylark,Copy !req
1214. and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.Copy !req
1215. And because both cars were made by GM,Copy !req
1216. were both cars available
in metallic mint-green paint?Copy !req
1217. - They were.
- Thank you, Miss Vito.Copy !req
1218. No more questions.
Thank you very, very much.Copy !req
1219. You've been a lovely, lovely witness.Copy !req
1220. Mr Trotter, would you like
to question Miss Vito?Copy !req
1221. Mr Trotter.Copy !req
1222. No. No, Your Honour. No further questions.Copy !req
1223. In that case, Your Honour,
I'd like to recall George Wilbur.Copy !req
1224. Miss Vito, you can stand down.Copy !req
1225. You realise you're still under oath.Copy !req
1226. Yes, Your Honour.Copy !req
1227. Mr Wilbur, how'd you like
Miss Vito's testimony?Copy !req
1228. Very impressive.Copy !req
1229. She's cute too, huh?Copy !req
1230. Yes, very.Copy !req
1231. - Mr Gambini.
- Sorry, Your Honour.Copy !req
1232. Mr Wilbur, in your expert opinion,Copy !req
1233. would you say that everything Miss Vito
said on the stand was 100% accurate?Copy !req
1234. - I'd have to say that.
- And is there any way in the worldCopy !req
1235. the Buick that the defendants
were driving made those tyre tracks?Copy !req
1236. Come on. You can say. It's OK, they know.Copy !req
1237. Actually,Copy !req
1238. - no.
- No.Copy !req
1239. Thank you. No more questions.Copy !req
1240. Your Honour, I call Sheriff Farley.Copy !req
1241. You may stand down now, Mr Wilbur.Copy !req
1242. - Sheriff, you realise you're still under oath?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
1243. Sheriff Farley.Copy !req
1244. - What'd you find out?
- On a hunch,Copy !req
1245. I took it upon myself to check if there was
any information on a '63 Pontiac TempestCopy !req
1246. stolen or abandoned recently.Copy !req
1247. This computer read-out
confirms that two boys,Copy !req
1248. who fit the defendants' description,
were arrested two days agoCopy !req
1249. by Sheriff Tilman in Jasper County, Georgia,Copy !req
1250. for driving a stolen metallic
mint-green 1963 Pontiac TempestCopy !req
1251. with a white convertible top,
Michelin model XGV tyres, size 75R-14.Copy !req
1252. - Is that it?
- No.Copy !req
1253. A.357 Magnum revolver
was found in their possession.Copy !req
1254. Sheriff Farley, just to refresh
the court's memory,Copy !req
1255. what calibre bullet
was used to murder Jimmy Willis?Copy !req
1256. - A.357 Magnum.
- The defence rests.Copy !req
1257. Mr Trotter.Copy !req
1258. Your Honour, in light of Miss Vito's
and Mr Wilbur's testimony,Copy !req
1259. the State'd like to dismiss all charges.Copy !req
1260. Order in the court.Copy !req
1261. Order here.Copy !req
1262. I have to get out of here by three.
Make sure all the bags are in the car.Copy !req
1263. Vinny, I'm sorry to have ever doubted you
at any time, and for this I apologise.Copy !req
1264. Under the circumstances... You were
great. I just want to say thank you.Copy !req
1265. You're welcome. I hope we can do it again.Copy !req
1266. - Fine job, Mr Gambini.
- Thanks.Copy !req
1267. - Y'all come back and see us any time now.
- I'll see.Copy !req
1268. - Vin.
- Bill.Copy !req
1269. - You're welcome.
- Vin, I...Copy !req
1270. Listen. Take your time, pick the right words,
get back to New York, gimme a call.Copy !req
1271. - Vinny, you did a terrific job.
- Thanks.Copy !req
1272. You got an open invitation
any time you come here.Copy !req
1273. - We can get us a deer next time.
- OK. Thanks a lot.Copy !req
1274. I feel like if I don't get outta here
now, I might never be able to leave.Copy !req
1275. Mr Gambini.Copy !req
1276. I have a fax here from the clerk of New York.Copy !req
1277. I owe you an apology, sir.Copy !req
1278. I'm honoured to shake your hand.Copy !req
1279. "Win some, lose some."Copy !req
1280. Your courtroom manner may be rather
unconventional, but I gotta tell you,Copy !req
1281. you're one helluva trial lawyer.Copy !req
1282. Thank you. And you're one helluva judge.Copy !req
1283. Sorry.Copy !req
1284. Bye, now.Copy !req
1285. What the hell was that all about back there?Copy !req
1286. I had a friend send a fax to the judge,Copy !req
1287. confirming the very impressive
legal stature of Jerry Callo.Copy !req
1288. What friends you got in the clerk's office?Copy !req
1289. - Your friend.
- My friend?Copy !req
1290. Judge Malloy.Copy !req
1291. So what's your problem?Copy !req
1292. My problem is I wanted to win my first case
without any help from anybody.Copy !req
1293. Well, I guess that plan's moot.Copy !req
1294. Yeah.Copy !req
1295. This could be a sign of things to come.Copy !req
1296. You win all your cases,
but with somebody else's help, right?Copy !req
1297. You win case after case,
and then afterwards,Copy !req
1298. you have to go up to somebody
and you have to say "Thank you."Copy !req
1299. Oh, my God. What a fuckin' nightmare.Copy !req
1300. I won my first case.
You know what this means.Copy !req
1301. - Yeah. You think I'm gonna marry you.
- You're not gonna marry me now?Copy !req
1302. No way. You can't win a case by
yourself. You're fuckin' useless.Copy !req
1303. I thought we'd get married this weekend.Copy !req
1304. You don't get it, do you? That is not
romantic. I want a wedding in churchCopy !req
1305. with bridesmaids and flowers.Copy !req
1306. How many times did you
say that spontaneous is romantic?Copy !req
1307. Hey, a burp is spontaneous.
A burp is not romantic.Copy !req
1308. Know what, Lisa? Who wants
to marry you anyway?Copy !req
1309. You do.Copy !req
