큰 회사껀 없나?

이걸꺼야

못 들어봤어. 이게 나을거야.
조금 더 비싸잖아

그건 광고비 때문이야.

참치, 참치 사야 돼.

참치는 그만 좀 먹자

단백질이 필요하잖아

콩이 있잖아

콩먹으면 방구 나와

지붕도 없는 찬데 뭐

 

난 먹어야 되겠어

특별 신청곡 순서입니다

찰스 위버가 어네스틴에게
키스와 함께 보낸답니다.

이걸 계산 안했네

걸렸으면 어쩔려고 그랬어?

여기 법은 원시적이야
교수형이 해당되는 나이 알아?

음, 16살부터?

10살부터 / 10살?

 

우리 뒤에 경찰이 있어

경찰? / 걱정할거 없어

맞을거야 /
일이 터지기전에 걱정할 것 없어

 

아직도 있어?

응. 젠장!

진정해. 우리 뒤에 경찰이 있을 뿐이야.
문제는 없어

 

어 / 왜그래?
/ 불을 켰어.

제기랄, 젠장 ... , 이제 어쩌지?

별 일 아닐거야.
브레이크 등이 나갔거나 했겠지.

우린 보석금 낼 돈도 없어.

야 / 경찰이 우릴 세우고 있고
넌 물건을 훔친 셈이잖아.

가만히 좀 있어.

 

온다.

손 들어! 손들어!

어서 들어! 어서!

손을 머리에 얹고 내려!

차에서 내려!

 

3번하고 5번이 확실해요.

말도 안돼. 참치캔 하나로 이러다니

조용히 해

 

확실해?

여기에 있어

알았어

 

지벡할 것 같아요

 

누가 지미 윌리스를 쐈다면서요?

죽었어요

하느님, 누가 이런 짓을 했어여?

 

안녕, 빌. 난 팔리 보안관일세.

안녕하세요

 

왜 잡혀 왔는지 아냐?

네, 죄송해요.
바보같은 짓이었어요

 

권리 얘기는 들었니?

네

권리를 포기하겠다구?

네, 완전히 협조하겠습니다.

일을 쉽게 만들 수 있다면
뭐든지 하겠어요

 

좋아, 다행이다.

하지만, 스탠은 전혀
상관없어요.

 

같이 계획했나?

 

아뇨, 그냥 어쩌다 보니
그렇게 됐어요

 

스탠이 막으려고 했었나?

 

아뇨, 걔는...

 

왜요?
그게 중요해요?

동조 및 교사지.

그게 큰 일인가요?

당연하지

 

공범이라뇨?

 

무슨 소리에요?
난 전혀 상관 없었어요.

 

막으려고 하지 않았나?

 

난 몰랐어요
나중에 차에서 들었어요

 

그런데 왜 경찰에 안 갔어?

 

제 친구니까요

 

친구가 자네를 몹시
난처하게 만들었어.

 

빌은 어떻게 돼죠?

 

유죄 판결만 안 받으면
별 일 없겠지.

 

사실은 머리가 다 탈 정도로
많은 전기를 받게 될꺼야.

 

뉴욕 대학에서 친구였는데
둘 다 UCLA 장학생이 됐죠.

남쪽의 날씨나 경치가
더 나을 거라고 생각했고요

참치는 어떻게 된거야?

참치캔 생각을 못하고
그냥 나왔어요

네가 참치캔을 훔치는 걸 알고
싸움이 벌어졌냐?

 

아뇨, 그는 아무 말도 안했어요

 

알고는 있었겠지.

 

몰라요

 

잠깐 그 얘기 좀 하자.

 

식품값을 냈어

 

그 다음엔?

차에 탄게 전부예요.

 

언제 그를 쐈지?

 

네?

가게 주인을 언제 쐈냐고?

 

제가 주인을 쐈다고요?

그래, 언제 쐈어?

제가 주인을 쐈다고요?

 

보안관님, 나와보세요.

지금, 자백을 받고 있는
중이잖아.

 

어~ 잠깐만.

 

무슨 일이지?

 

이게 어떻게 된건지
모르겠어?

우리를 갖고 노는거야

 

믿지 않지?

그래, 물건을 훔쳤다고
사형 당하진 않아

훔친것 때문에
네가 채포됐다고 생각해?

그걸로 체포된 건 너야
난 공범이고.

 

아냐, 살인혐의를 받은거야
넌 살인 공모자고

 

전화 걸어도 돼

 

제기랄!

너희 부모님께 연락드릴
방법이 있어?

칠레 대사관에 연락해?

산속에 들어가서 찾아달라고?
없어

 

우린 유능한 변호사가 필요해

 

너 혹시 아는 사람있니?

 

아니, 엄마한테 전화할거야.

 

여보세요, 엄마!

우린 와주에 있어요
알리바마 버첨 카운티란 데에요.

 

안 좋아요

우린 체포됐어요.

엄마, 우린 안 했어요

 

살인죄

 

실수예요. 우리가 범인하고
닮았나 봐요.

어떻게 되고 있는지
말씀드려 / 조용히 해

우릴 모함하고 있어요
여기는 부패했거든요

그래, KKK도 여기에 있어
자기 여동생과도 잔다구

 

그런 사람도 가끔 있죠

변호사가 필요한데
돈이 많이 들거예요

 

얼마쯤 들어?

괜찮은 변호사면
5만에서 10만 달러

 

5만에서 10만...알아요

 

아무 변호사도 돼?

될껄

될 것 같대요

 

그래요?

 

다행이다. 해줄까요?

뭐?

친척 중에 변호사가 있대

잘됐다. 누구?

내 사촌 비니.

 

뭐?

눈에 너무 띄어서 그래

 

내가?
자기는?

적어도 난 카우보이 부츠를
신었으니까 어울려

 

그래, 토박이 같군

 

여긴 중국음식도 끔찍할거야

 

이상 없는 거 같은데

진흙에 들어가자 마자
바퀴 균형이 어긋난 것 같아

아니야

 

밑에 들어가서 보는게 좋겠어

 

왜 그러슈?

 

네?

뭐가 문제요?

 

차가 좀 흔들렸을 뿐이에요.

타이어에 흙이 들어가서
그래요

 

타이어에 흙이 들어갔다구요?

 

타이어에 어떻게
흙이 들어가요?

말이 그렇다는 거죠.

진흙이 바퀴 안쪽에 붙어서
균형이 안 맞는 거요

 

타이어에 흙이 들어간다는
얘기 들어봤어?

 

아니

 

못들어 봤대잖아요
차 전문가인데

 

여기서는 다들 진흙에
빠지고 그래요

 

우린 진흙으로 유명해요

진흙으로요?
중국음식은 어때요?

 

중국음식 얘기 그만해
여기엔 중국집이 없어

관광객 티를 꼭 내야겠어?
가자구

그럼 자기는 배낭족이라도 돼?

 

이 지점부터는 무기 소지 금지

 

사형을 폐지하라

 

우리 감옥은 오늘 아침에 폐쇄돼서

 

주립교도소로 데리러 온거야

 

문 열어!

 

들어가

 

이런데서 어떤 일이
일어나는지 알아?

그래, 알아

 

다들 무서워하는 버바라는
녀석이 꼭 있어

그가 보호해 주는 대신에
그의 섹스 상대가 돼야 돼.

우리 둘밖에 없잖아

 

저 간의 침대는?

 

또 누구를 집어넣으면 어떡해?

 

스텐

 

입 닥쳐!

 

알았어

 

여기야

 

손님 왔다

 

네가 스텐이구나 반갑다

 

당신을 왜 여기로 데려왔죠?

 

방금 들어왔어

 

신참들이 어디 있냐고 물었더니
여기로 데려다 줬어

 

자는구나, 귀여운 녀석

너부터 시작하는게 좋겠어
재는 더 자게 놔두고

 

난 하기 싫어요

이해해

나라도 가능한 한 빨리
해결하고 싶었을 거야

그러니까 신속하게 처리하자구

 

왜 그래?

 

긴장 풀어

 

먼저 얘기를 나누는게 좋겠어

 

큰 일을 하기 전에
서로 좀 알아야겠지

 

왜 그래?

 

난 하기 싫어요

 

이해하지만
넌 선택의 여지가 없잖아

 

선택의 여지?

 

당신 말고?

 

몰라요... 자살, 죽음

 

나든 그들이든 어차피
넌 당하게 돼있어

흥분하지마

 

걱정 마, 도와줄께

 

고맙군요

약간의 감사라도 해야
되는 거 아니야?

 

감사라구요?

그래, 난처한 건
내가 아니라 너야

 

고마워 해야지
무릎이라도 꿇고 말이야

 

미안하군요, 당신의 방문이
영광인 줄은 몰랐어요

특별히 해주는 거야
공짜로 날 얻는 거라구

자만심으로 가득 찼군

 

이 자식, 왜 이래?

 

내 자존심을 건드리라고
온 건 아니야

 

난 아무것도 안 건드릴 거야

아무것도 안할거라구

 

넌 혼자 알아서 해
얘나 봐줘야지

 

빌리!

 

비니 형!

비니?

비니 도넛츠 형, 잘 있었어?

이 분이 비니야?

 

뭐부터 시작해야 할지
모르겠어요

 

살인사건 맡은 적 있어요?

 

아니 이번이 처음이야

 

처음이라구요?

 

그럼 어떤 사건을 맡았었나요?

 

폭행? 무장 강도?

 

아니

 

강도, 자동차 도난, 마약
그런 걸 했지?

 

아니, 그런 것도 안했어

 

그럼, 어떤 걸 해 봤어요?

 

지금까지는 개인 상해를 했어

 

개인 상해 재판에 나가보기는
했겠죠?

 

사실, 이번에 처음으로
법정에 서게 될거야

 

아직 재판까지는 안 가봤거든

 

계속 그러지는 말아야지

 

아직 법정에 안 가봤으면
변호사가 된지 얼마나 됐죠?

6주쯤

 

하지만 6년전에 졸업했잖아
지금까지 뭐했어?

고시 공부했어

 

6년 동안?

 

공부 많이 했겠네요?

 

하지만 솔직히 말해서...

 

첫번에 합격하지 못했어.

 

괜찮아요.

두번째는 됐겠죠?

아니

 

삼세판?

난 안 그랬어

 

여섯번 만에 해냈어.

 

여섯번

 

옷차림이 좀 캐주얼하군

양복과 넥타이는 없소?

죄송합니다

 

다른 주의 변호사를 인정하는 건
비공식적인 거니까

질문만 몇가지 하겠소

말씀하세요

 

어느 법대를 나왔나?

브룩클린 법대

 

공식인가가 난덴가?

 

예일 대학 법학과
체임벌린 헐러

 

네

 

일 시작한지는 얼마나 됐소?

 

6...거의 16년이오

 

살인 사건은?

네..몇 건 있었어요

결과가 어땠소?

 

이기기도, 지기도 했죠

 

거만 떨 때가 아니오

 

네, 최근엔 일시적인
정신 이상으로

도끼 살인자를 변호했는데,
세부사항을 말씀드릴까요?

아니, 또 뭐 있소?

어디 보자, 더요?
샘의 아들 아세요?

 

개가 살인을 명령했다고
말한 사람?

네

그를 맡았었어?

아뇨, 먼저 체포된 사람을
변호했어요

 

무죄가 밝혀지자 풀려났고,
진짜 범인이 잡혔죠

 

비첨 카운티에는
연쇄 살인은 없소

하지만 전국 어디에 못지 않은
사법 제도가 있소

그렇겠죠

당신은 뉴욕 출신이라
여기는 법이 느슨한 줄 알겠지만

 

전혀 안그렇소

네

당신에 알려주고 싶은 건
내가 절차에 있어서는

 

무척 참을성 없는
사람이라는 점이오

 

내 법정에 나올 때엔 법을
빈틈없이 다 알아야 해요

 

그렇지 못하면 엄벌을
내릴 것이오

알겠어요

뉴욕에서 왔다고 특별 대우
받을 생각은 마시오

그래야죠

 

그런 건 없을 거요
전해 봐주지 않을 거요

 

알라바마 형법 제도

 

내 법정에 나올 때엔
이걸 다 알고 있어야 하오

네

그렇게 하겠소?

네, 문제 없어요

 

이게 전부예요?

 

너무 좋다
비니의 첫 사건이야

 

어떻게 도와줄까?

 

아무 것도?

됐어

 

뭔놈의 소리야?

 

카운터에 앉을까?

 

안녕하세요!

 

새벽 5시 반에 나는
엄청 큰 소리가 뭐죠?

 

제재소의 기적 소리요

 

기상시간을 알려주죠

수십 마일 밖까지 들려요

 

식사할려구요?

 

아침 식사?

그게 좋겠어?

 

잘 골랐어, 2인분요

 

이것 봐요

 

혹시 콜레스트롤 얘기
못 들어 왔어요?

 

이건 뭐죠?

 

그릿츠 몰라요
/ 알아요

직접 본적이
없었을 뿐이죠

먹어볼래?

먼저 먹어

 

그런데 그릿츠가 뭐죠?

옥수수로 만든 껄죽한
죽이요

 

죽이라!

 

어떻게 요리하죠?

물에다 15~20분간 불려서
접시에 놓고 버터를 얹어요

 

먹을 거야, 말거야?

 

당신 변호사은 안왔나?

내가 변호사요

 

난 짐 트로터 3세,
비첨 카운티의 검사요

 

빈센트 라 과디아 갬비니
1세고, 브룩클린 출신이오

 

반갑소

 

일동 기립하세요
체임벌린 헐러 판사님입니다

비첨 카운티 법정을
개정하겠습니다.

 

앉으십시오

 

윌리엄 로버트 갬비니와
스텐리 마커스 로렌스타인

스틴인데 스타인이레

 

피고는 1급 살인 혐의를
받았는데 어떻게 변호하겠소?

재판장님, 저희...

거기 앉아서 얘기하지 마시오

 

여기에 앉으라던데요

법정에서 말을 할 때엔
일어서서 똑똑히 얘기하시오

 

죄송합니다, 제 의뢰인들은...

뭘 입은 거요?

옷을 입었는데요

 

왜 물어보시는 거죠?

 

그런 옷차림은 나와 이 법정을
모욕하는 거요

 

죄송합니다만 저는 옷을
이렇게 입걸랑요

다음부터는 변호사다운
복장을 하시오

 

머리를 빗고, 양복에
넥타이를 매시오

그것도 천으로 된
양복을.. 알겠소?

네, 알겠습니다

계속하시오
어떻게 변호하겠소?

 

제 의뢰인들은 예상치
못한 일을 당했습니다.

참치캔을 훔친 것 때문에
체포된 줄 알고 있었습니다.

 

무슨 소리요? 그럼 무죄로
변호하겠다는 거요?

아뇨, 설명해 드리려는 겁니다

설명은 필요없소

알라바마의 사법 절차상
정황을 묻는거요

알고 있소?

네, 하지만 일이 무척
복잡한 상태입니다

갬비니씨!

제 의뢰인들은...

갬비니씨!

 

간단한 질문에 간단한
대답을 하라는 거요

대답은 두 가지 밖에 없소
죄를 인정하거나 부인하시오

 

제 의뢰인들은
아무 짓도 안했습니다

의사 소통이 안되고 있군

 

정황파악도, 재판도 건너뛰고
기각으로 곧장 가고 싶은거요?

 

죄를 부인한다는 이유만으로
절차를 무실할 순 없소.

이젠 '인정합니다' 아니면
'부정합니다'라고만 대답하시오

 

의견도, 논쟁도 다 필요없소

 

그 외의 말을 할 경우에는
모욕죄로 간주하겠소

 

알아들었길 바라오.

죄를 인정 할거요,
부인 할거요?

이해가 가는 것 같군요

이해를 못하는 것 같군
당신은 모욕죄를 지었소

 

두 번 경고를 받고 싶소?

부정합니다

고맙소

 

보석금은 20만 달러요

 

예심은 내일 오전
9시 반에 있겠습니다

정리는 갬비니씨를 체포하시오
보석금은 2백 달러입니다.

 

따라 오시죠

 

일동 기립!

 

나 빼내줘야 돼, 알지?

 

나와!

 

노튼이라는 사람
이번주에 사형한대

 

그런거 같네

 

이 살인 사건은
보통 일이 아니야

 

잘못하면 걔네는 사형감이야

알아

 

자기가 뭘 해야
되는지 알아?

 

그래, 알아

 

오늘 법정에서 보니까
헤매던데

 

왜 그랬어?

 

절차 때문에 그래
하면서 배울 거야

 

하면서 배운다구?

 

법대에서 안 배웠어?

아니, 계약서, 판례, 해석,
그런 거 배워

절차는 고용하는 법률
사무소에서 가르쳐줘

아니면 법정에 가서
보고 배우던가

 

왜 법정에 가서
보지 않았어?

너희 아버지 차고에서 일하고
밤엔 일했는데 언제 가?

 

올 여름에 몇달간 쉴까 했어

 

하지만 이길 자신 있어

 

정말이야?

그래

 

뭘 알아야 되는지 모르면서
어떻게 자신 있는지 모르겠어

절차가 있는 거야
캬부레터를 교환하는 것처럼

 

처음엔 캬브레터를 떼야 돼
첫 단계를 건너뛰었다고 해봐

제트를 끼다가 하나를
떨어뜨렸다고 쳐봐

그러면 캬브레터를 따라
헤드로 들어가고 끝장나잖아

캬브레터를 먼저 빼야되는 걸
힘들게 배우게 되는 거지

오늘 내가 힘들게 배운 거야
사실 좋은 경험이었어

알았어, 내가 도와 줄
방법이 있어?

응, 계속 보석금을 내줘

문제가 있어, 여행자 수표의
반을 벌써 썼어

그러기는 싫었지만 부도
수표 쓰기는 싫었거든

돈 내기를 했는데,
돈을 안줘서 어쩔 수 없었어

잠깐만, 누가 돈을 안 줬다구?

 

이봐, 난 빈센트 라 과디아
갬비니다.

 

이름은 J.T야

리사와 2백불을 건 게임에서
졌다길래 돈 받으로 왔어

 

그냥 나한테 얻어 터지는게
어떻겠어?

난 변호사인데 변호사들은
그걸 반대 제안이라고 해

어디 보자, 아주 어려운
결정을 내려야겠네

얻어 터지거나,
2백불을 받거나

 

어때?

난 맞는 것도 필요하지만
솔직하게 얘기하지

 

2백불 받는 걸루 하겠어

 

날 먼저 죽여야 될걸

 

가면서 협상을 할까?

 

내가 반대 제안을 하지

 

내가 꼭 널 죽여야 되겠어?
그냥 혼내주기만 하면 안될까?

 

꿈에서나 그러시지

아니, 현실에서
너를 때려눕히면 돈을 주겠어?

 

네가 날 때려눕히면

돈을 주지

 

뒤로 자빠졌수?

아니, 넘어졌어요

 

조건을 확인하자구

1번은 내가 얻어터진다

2번은 널 때려눕히고
2백불을 받는다

 

2번으로 하겠어

널 때려눕히고
2백불을 받겠어

 

지금 싸울거야?

그래, 돈 먼저 보여줘

돈은 있어

그러면 보여줘

구할 수 있어

좋아

구하면 싸우자

 

당신 집에서 넘어졌수?
남의 집에서 넘어졌수?

내 집에서

젠장!

 

간단한 절차인데도 못해냈어

 

'인정합니다'나 '부인합니다'
중 한 마디만 하면 되는건데

그래서

그래서라니?

 

오늘 너도 봤잖아
그런데도 믿어?

해고하기 곤란해
친척이잖아

우리 어머니는 지금
건강도 안 좋으신데

 

그래, 고맙다

네가 죽으면 네 어머니가
더 악화되시지 않을까?

 

기회를 주면 잘 할 것 같아

아니야

그만해, 가자

 

네가 갬비니 집안 사람들이
싸우는 걸 봐야 돼

논쟁하기 위해 산다구

내 부모님도 싸우기 좋아하셔
그렇다고 변호사는 아니잖아

네 부모님 싸우시는 거 봤어

날 믿어, 그정도는 아마추어야

 

물 떨어지는 소리지?

 

응

 

자기가 마지막으로 화장실에
들어갔지?

그래서?

수도를 썼어?

그래

 

그런데 왜 안 잠궜어?

잠궜어

잠궜으면 왜 소리가 나?

 

잠궜지만 샐 수 있다는
생각은 안 들어?

아니, 잠궜으면 물이 나올리가 없잖아

고장났나보지

그럼 고장났단 소리야?

그래, 고장났어

 

확실해?

 

확실해

 

꽉 안 돌렸나 보지

돌렸어

그걸 어떻게 알아?

 

이 설명서에 그 모델은
10~16파운드 토크가 필요하대

난 늘 최대한의 토크로 돌려

10~16파운드 토크를 썼는지
어떻게 확신해?

1019실험실용 크래프스맨
모델 나사 돌리개를 썼어

바로 칼테크 물리학자와
나사 기술자들이 쓰는 거야

 

그게 정확한지는 어떻게 알아?

토크 나사 돌리개가
사용되기 직전에

연방 중량부에서 100%
정확하게 조정되었거든

이게 그 보증서야

 

100% 정확하게...

확인됐어

 

그럼 고장났나 보지

 

다른데로 가야겠어

그리고 폭죽 소리같은게
두번 났어요

두 청년이 싹커써즈에서
뛰어나오는 걸 봤어요

둘은 흰 뚜껑이 달린
녹색 차를 타고 달아났어요

그 두 청년이 이 법정에
있습니까?

네, 있어요

그럼 가르켜 주시죠

바로 저기에 앉어있어요

 

라일리 부인, 이 차였습니까?

 

네, 맞아요

감사합니다

콘스탄스 라일리 부인이
피고의 차를 확인했습니다

 

아침을 만들고 있었는데

저 둘이 들어가는 걸 봤어요

 

나중에 총 소리가 들렸어요

 

창밖을 내다봤더니 둘이
차를 타고 달아났어요

이게 그 차였습니까?

 

네, 맞아요

감사합니다.

 

저 두 청년이 뛰어나와서
차를 타고 도망간 걸 봤죠?

 

네, 정신없이 가던데요

감사합니다

 

했냐고 물었더니 "내가 주인을
죽였다고요" 했습니다

 

다시 물어봤더니
똑같이 대답했어요

이상입니다.

 

갬비니씨?

네?

 

더 할 것 있소?

 

뭘 더 해요?

 

난 모르죠

 

없습니다

 

내려가시죠

 

증인이 또 있습니까?

없습니다.

 

재판에 들어갈만큼 충분한
증거가 있다고 봅니다

 

재판은 2월 2일 월요일
오전 10시에 있겠습니다

 

갬비니씨!

 

일어서시오

 

내 법정에 나올 때엔
옷을 제대로 입으라고 했잖소

 

진심이었어요?

왜 질문 안했어요?

질문을 누구한테 해?

 

질문해도 된다는 건
알고 있었지?

좀 반항했으면 재판까지
안 갔을지도 몰라요

여기는 알라바마고
넌 뉴욕에서 왔어

 

이 고장 사람을 죽었는데
재판에 안 갈리가 없어

 

도대체 어떻게 된거야?
사건을 망쳤어?

이미 말했잖아
절차 때문에 조금 그렇다고

조금?
두 번이나 체포됐잖아

상기시켜 주지 않아도 알아

 

내 약혼녀로서 날 지지해줘야
되는 거 아냐?

용기를 북돋아 주고

 

그걸 원해?

 

미안해, 자기 멋있었어

 

판사 놀리는 솜씨가 대단했어
말 솜씨가 보통이 아니야

그만해
내가 망치고 있다고 생각해?

자기가 바가지 긁는다고 없던
지식이 갑자기 생기지는 않아

그래

조용히 해

 

다 읽었어?

응

 

잘래?

 

모르겠어, 기분이 안 좋아

 

당연하지,
3일 내내 제대로 못잤잖아

 

그것도 이유 중 하나지

 

왠지 알아?

 

나 정말 무서워

 

그래야지

 

내가 어쩌다 이일에
끼어들었지

문제 없어 이길 수 있어

벌써 내가 감옥에
두 번이나 갔었어

 

이 재판에서 이길 수 있어

깨어 있을 수 있고, 감옥에만
자꾸 안 가면, 그렇지?

내 생각은 어떤지 알아?

뭐?

솔직히?

법정에서 일단 불이 붙으면
자기는 대단할거야

 

정말 대단할거야

 

망조만 안들면

 

이게 짜고 하는 거면
모두 거짓말을 하는 걸거야

 

그렇게 된 것 같지?

 

주에게 지정한 변호사가
어떤지 알아보는게 좋겠어

정직한 사람이면
그에게 맡기자

 

좋아

 

저기가 사형장이야

 

그래요?

전기의자가 요새는
작동이 잘 안돼

지난번엔 세 번이나 했는데
사형수의 머리에 불이 붙었어

 

고칠 예산이 없거든

전기 요금을 몇 배로 내느니
고치는게 덜 손해일거야

 

안녕, 스텐리

 

난, 존 기븐스고

국선 변호사다

안녕하세요!

 

지금 증거가 굉장해

그러니까 직접 얘기를
들어보자

 

안녕, 형!

그래, 빌리
/ 좀 어때?

넌 괜찮아?
/ 견디고 있어

스탠은?
/ 스탠은 안 올거야

 

국선 변호사 한테 맡기겠데

 

나도 그렇게 할거야

 

미안해, 형이 경험이 너무
없는 거 같아서....

 

무섭냐?

 

응, 무서워

 

예심에서 더 잘 할 수 있었던건
사실이야

하지만 이기는게 중요한거야

난 정말 해낼 수 있어

 

잘 들어봐, 검사측은
입증을 해야 돼

입증이라는 건 증거라는 벽돌로
집을 짓는 것과 같아

그는 벽돌 빌딩을
만들려고 하고 있어

이런 견고한 벽돌을
쓰고 싶어 한다구

그래

한 가지 보여줄께

 

그는 가장자리가 곧은
벽돌을 보여줄꺼야

 

모양이 제대로 되었다는 걸
보여 줄거라구

특정한 시각으로 보여줘서
벽돌처럼 보이게 할거야

하지만 그가 안 보여줄게 있어

올바른 시각에서 보면
낱장에 불과한데 말이야

그의 사건은 전부
마술일 뿐이야

네가 무죄니까 환영일 뿐이라구

 

누구든 갬비니는 못 속여
특히 이 갬비니는

 

기회를 한 번만 줘

첫 증인을 심문하겠어

그 다음에도 싫으면
당장 날 해고시켜

불평않고 떠날께
기회를 한 번만 달라구

 

줘야 할 것 같아

 

줘야 할 것 같대?

변호사가 되기 전엔
코미디언이라도 했었나 보지?

손해볼 것 없잖아, 그가
못하면 네 변호사가 할거잖아

일을 망칠 수가 있어

반대 심문에는 물어볼 것
뿐 아니라

묻지 말아야 할 질문도 있어

 

그가 할만한 질문을
다 묻는다고 쳐

증인이 전부 대답하면 결국
우리측 죄를 입증하게 돼

 

내 사촌 루티의 시아주버니가
마술사 알라카잠이었어

누군지 알지?

 

머리 묶은 마술사?

그래, 그 누나 결혼식 때
공연했어

그가 뭘 사라지게 할 때마다
비니형이 따졌어

 

'주머니에 있다' '테이블 밑에
거울이 있다' 그러면서

'잠깐만, 중간에 연결되었잖아'
그러던가

'안에 스프링이 있으니까
튀어나오지' 그랬어

알라카잠의 최대 악몽이었지

 

비니형은 원래 그래

진짜 갬비니답게 행동한 거지

 

노튼 같이 될거야

 

저기 봐, 제이티

 

이봐, 양키 꼬마!
이거 좀 보라구

뭔데?

 

2백불

 

가져와서 보여줘

 

1불짜리 여러개를 20불짜리로
감은게 아닌지 어떻게 알아?

 

2백불이야

펴서 보여줘

 

그것 봐

 

저 화물열차가 매일 새벽
5시에 지나가나요?

아뇨, 아주 드문 일이에요

알았어요

사건 대부분은 이기고
돈을 많이 벌고 있었죠

고마워요, 셜리

그런데 의뢰인들은
다 유죄였죠

한 녀석을 같은 혐의로
네 번이나 풀려나게 해줬더니

양심이 찔리기 시작하더라구요

죄인들을 감옥에 보내는게
정의를 위한 거라고 생각됐고

그렇게 하다보니 훨씬
행복해졌어요

 

당신은 어때요?

 

교통 위반 딱지 때문에
법정에 갔어요

그 경찰관을 내세우고 그가
잘못을 인정할 때까지 싸웠죠

 

그때 말로이라는 판사가
계속 웃고 있었어요

 

그리고는 나중에 점심을
같이 먹자더군요

그리고는 소송을 무척
잘 할 것 같다고 했어요

 

그때엔 소송이 뭔지도 몰라서
전혀 못 알아 들었죠

 

변호사가 될 생각은
안해 봤었는데

말로이 판사도 브룩클린
출신으로 해낸거더라구요

갑자기 가능성이 보였어요

 

그래서 법대에 갔어요

그 분이 가끔 필요한게
없냐며 찾아오셨어요

 

일부러 날 보러 왔으니
아주 좋은 사람이죠

 

자기 아들이 변호사가 되기를
바랬는데 연주가가 됐대요

 

내가 졸업할 때 정말
자랑스러워 하셨어요

 

대단한 이야기군요

 

네, 우리가 맡은 사건이
보통 큰게 아니죠?

그래요

 

느낌이 어때요?

 

살인 무기가 있었으면
좋겠어요

 

그 외엔 아주 희망적이오

 

그래요?

그래요

 

오늘 오후에 뭐해요?

 

사냥하러 간다구?

그래

법정에 나갈 준비를 해야지
무슨 사냥이야?

어제 생각해 봤는데 그가
아는만큼 알고 싶어

그사람 서류를 보여준다면
바랄게 없지

트로터의 서류를 보는게
사냥하고 무슨 상관이야?

 

두 사나이가 숲속에서 총으로
사냥을 하는 거야

서로 동질감을 느끼게 되지
서류를 보여주지는 않아도

 

긴장이 풀리게 되면
뭔가 알아낼 수 있을지 모르잖아

 

나 뭐 입을까?

뭘 사냥할건대?

 

몰라, 사무실엔 박제로 한
머리가 많더라

머리?
무슨 머리?

황소, 곰, 사슴 몇 마리

잠깐만, 사슴을 사냥할거야?

몰라 그렇겠지

 

난 진짜 남자니까
사슴 사냥 할 수도 있지

죄없고, 힘없고, 풀잎만 먹는
이슬맺힌 눈의 사슴을

나가서 쪼다가 되진 말아야지

아니면, 그가 날
무시하길 바래?

 

지금 입은 바지는 어때?

 

자기가 사슴이라고 해봐

뛰어다니다 목이 말라서
시냇가로 찾아갔어

입술을 물에 갖다 댔어

 

총알이 머리를 날려버렸어

뇌가 바닥에 다 흩어져
있는데

자기를 쏜 개자식이 무슨
바지를 입었는지 신경쓰겠어?

 

당신의 서류를 봤으면
참 좋겠는데

그래요?

네

 

복사기 있어요?

 

아뇨

 

그럼 내 비서한테 시키지

셜리, 갬비니 로텐스틴 사건
서류를 전부 복사해 주겠소?

 

고마워요

 

그게 다 뭐야?

트로터의 서류 전부야

훔쳤어?

아니, 잘 들어봐

구슬리려고 한참 준비했더니

자진해서 비서한테
복사하라고 했어

 

구슬리는 실력이 대단하군

그 뿐이 아니야

 

돌아오는 대로 자기 캐빈을
쓰게 해주겠대

숲속에 있는데 아주 조용해서
자기도 애기처럼 잔대

사교 실력이 대단해

 

뭐야?
이 책 읽고 있어?

 

응

읽지 마

 

고맙다구

알았어

 

트로터가 왜 서류를 줬는지
궁금하지 않아?

이미 말해줬잖아

법에 의해 보여줘야
되는거야, 바보야

 

전부 다 보여주지 않으면
오판이 될 수 있어

그의 증인 명단도 보여줘야
되고, 자기도 질문할 수 있어

예고 없이는 아무 것도 못해요

 

그것도 법대에서
안 가르쳐 줬어?

 

한가지 물어볼께요

안경을 몇 번이나 바꿨죠?

아침은 뭘 먹었죠?

 

저건 뭐에요?

 

기차가 새벽 5시에
지나가는 건 드물다고 했잖아요

알아요, 4시 10분에
지나가야 되는 거라우

 

전기 의자에 의한 사형으로
결정이 나도 가담할 수 있나요?

 

아주머니

법정보다는 피해자 가족한테
결정권을 주는게 좋겠어요

 

이 사건의 피고는 편의점을
털은 후

 

가게 주인을 등 뒤에서 쏜
혐의를 받았습니다

충분한 증거가 있다면
혹시...

튀겨 버려요

 

저 사람은 합격입니다.

 

갬비니씨!

들어와요

 

뉴욕 사법부에서 팩스가 왔는데

 

빈센트 갬비니라는 사람이
사건을 맡은 적은 없었어요

 

빈센트 라 과디아 갬비니란
이름으로는 기록이 없어요

내가 방금 말한 거잖소

이해 못하시는군요

전, 20년 전에 배우를 했었는데

빈센트 갬비니라는 유명한
배우가 있었어요 들어 봤나요?

아뇨

못들어 봤어요?
상관없어요

그래서 법적으로 이름을
바꿨어요

그래서 바꾼 무대 이름으로
변호를 했어요

그 이름이 뭐요?

 

제리 갈로

 

제리 갈로

 

갬비니라고 계속 부르셔도 돼요

 

죄송합니다.

무슨 이름 댔어?

 

제리 갈로
/제리 갈로?

그 유명한 변호사?

그래

 

잘한 것 같아?

 

아주 유명한 변호사잖아

그를 조사하면 기록이
끝이 없을 거야

지난 주에 신문에 잔뜩 났어

그래 봤어

기사 내용은 읽지도 않고?

 

그래

안됐다

 

왜?
/ 그는 죽었어!

 

왜 그래?

 

몰라

 

초조해 보여
/ 그래, 초조해

 

뭐가? 총대를 짊어진 건 나야
재판이 내일 시작돼

뭐가 답답한지 얘기해줄까?

자긴 법적인 일에 푹 빠져
있는데 난 아무것도 몰라

자기가 일을 망치고 있고
난 도울 수가 없잖아

 

나한테 카메라를 빌려줬잖아

자기가 나도 같이 끌어내리고
있는 한 아무것도 못하잖아

 

그래서?

안 그래도 부담 많이 안고
있어서 말 안꺼내려고 했는데

자기가 첫 재판에서 이기면
우리 결혼하자고 했잖아

그런데 10년이 지난 지금
내 조카가 결혼해

내 생물학적 시계가
짹각 거리고 있다구

이 사건의 진전으로 봐서는
난 결혼하기 글렀어!

 

이런건 정말 도움이 안돼

날 감옥에 쳐넣으려는
판사가 있지

2백불로 날 때려 눕히려는
병신이 있지

돼지 도살장, 거대하고
소란스러운 기적이 있지

5일간 잠도 못잤지
돈도 없고, 옷에 문제가 있지

죄없는 두 아이의 생명이
걸린 살인 사건까지 있다구

게다가 리사의 생물학적 시계,
내 직업, 우리 결혼까지!

또, 뭐가 있을까?

이 사건의 결과에다
또 더할게 있을까?

 

가능할까?

 

얘기 꺼낼 때가 아니었나봐

 

저건 뭐야?

 

아주 낭만적이야

별 밑에서 들에 있는게

사방에 아무도 없고

아주 낭만적이야

 

별은 안보이는데

 

일어나봐, 내 허리

 

일어나야 돼

 

거지 같은 자켓

 

괜찮아?

트렁크안 분홍색 비닐에
들어있던게 뭐야?

자기 양복

 

내 양복이 왜 트렁크에 있어?

세탁했어, 깨끗한 양복을
입고 가면 좋을 것 같아서

 

30분 동안 샤워하고 새 양복
입고 법정에 나가야 돼

샤워해, 양복은 내가 구할께

야, 양키 겁쟁이!

이것 봐! 2백불이다

 

이제 날 때려 눕힐꺼야?

 

독감으로 휴업

레이시 중고품 가게
의류 및 가구

 

갬비니씨, 그 옷으로
날 모욕하는 거요?

 

아닙니다, 판사님

그럼 해명하시오

 

제 유일한 양복이
진흙탕에 빠졌어요

속성 세탁소가 없어서
새 양복을 사야 했어요

그런데 양복을 파는 유일한
가계가 독감으로 문을 닫았어요

 

가게 점원 모두 독감에
걸렸다구요

그래서 중고품 가게에서
이걸 샀어요

 

판사님이 싫어하시는 가죽
잠바와 이것 뿐이었어요

 

그래서 판사님을 위해서
이걸 입었습니다

 

자네 마약하나?

마약은 안해요

자네 태도가 마음에 안드네

언제는 안그랬나?

모욕죄로 간주하겠네

우라질, 놀랄 일도 아니지

 

뭐라고 했나?

뭐라고 했냐구?

 

뭐라뇨?

 

재판장님과 배심원 여러분!

이 사건의 증거는 1월 4일
오전 9시 반에

피고 스탠리 로텐스틴과
윌리엄 갬비니가

흰 뚜껑이 달린 1964년형
녹색 뷰익 스카일락에서

내리는게 목격됐음을
입증할 겁니다

그들이 와주시에 있는
싹커써즈에 들어갔다는 것과

그들이 들어간지 몇 분 후에

3명의 목격자들이 총성을
들었음을 입증할 겁니다

총성이 난 직후에 피고가
싹커써즈에서 뛰쳐나와

1964년형 녹색 뷰익
스카일락을 타고

급히 도주하는 것이
목격된 것도 입증될 겁니다

마지막으로, 검사측은 피고
갬비니와 로텐스틴이

비첨 카운티 보안관에게
자백했다가 부정한 것을

입증할 것입니다

판결은 제가 아닌 배심원의
판단에 달려 있습니다

제 생각을 상관이 없습니다

여러분은 배심원으로서 누가
진실을 말하는지 가리십시오

판결은 곧 진실입니다

고대 영어와 우리 조상이
내려준 단어입니다

윌리엄 갬비니에게 1급
살인의 유죄 판결을 내리고

스탠리 로텐스틴은 공범자로
유죄 판결을 내려 주십시오

갬비니가 이 흉칙한 범죄를
저지르게끔 해줬으니까요

 

피고측 변호사도 변론하겠소?

 

변호사!

 

형!

 

변론해야지

일어나!

 

저 사람이 한 말은
전부 헛소리입니다.

감사합니다

이의 있습니다
그건 의견의 차이입니다.

인정합니다. '감사합니다'외의
모든 발언은 삭제하겠습니다

 

배심원은 피고측 변호사의
변론을 무시하십시오

 

갬비니씨, 내 법정에선
그런 말을 삼가하시오, 알겠소?

알았어요

 

병신!

 

변호사!
변론하십시오

 

배심원..... 여러분!..

 

올....해 1월... 4일

제 의뢰인이 싹커서즈에서
들어간 건 사실입니다.

 

편....편의점 말입니다

하지만.... 그는 아무도
안 죽였습니다

우리는 이 사건의 증거가
상황 증거임을 증명하겠습니다

그리고...우연적이라는 것도요
감사합니다

 

끝이에요?

 

우리가 얘기했던 건
다 어떡하구요?

내가 좀 긴장을 하거든요
/ 좀?

나아지고 있어요

 

총성을 듣고
창밖을 내다 봤어요

저 둘이 차에 타곤
타이어가 타도록 달려 갔어요

이게 그 차 입니까?

네

 

감사합니다. 이상입니다

 

변호인측 심문하시오

 

팁...톤씨!

 

제 의뢰인을 어느 정도의
거리에서 봤죠?

50피트 정도요

그 정도에서 얼굴을
똑바로 알아볼 수...

있나요?

네

 

안경을 끼시는군요
/ 가끔요

안경을 배심원에게 보여주시죠

 

감사합니다
그날도 안경을 끼고 있었어요?

아니요

 

50피트의 거리에서 얼굴을
알아 봤다는데...

 

 

안경을 안 끼고 계셨잖아요?

 

돋보기에요

 

그러면...

 

피고의 눈색깔을 말씀해
주시겠어요?

 

갈색하고 녹색

 

이상입니다

 

갬비니씨 질문하십시오

 

까다로운 증인이군요

그래요

 

팁톤씨, 피고가 차에서
싹커서즈에 들어간 걸 봤을 때

어느 각도에서 봤죠?

가계에 들어올 때엔
얼굴이 보였어요

그들이 나갈 때는요?

등이 보였어요

 

그럼 들어 갈 때가 훨씬
더 잘 보였나요?

그렇다고 볼 수 있죠

확실히 그랬습니까?

 

네

그럼 그 두 녀석이...

두... 뭐라고 했소?

 

무슨 단어를 썼소?

무슨 단어라뇨?

두... 뭐?

뭐요?

녀석이라고 했소?

네, 두 녀석이오

녀석이 뭐요?

죄송합니다. 두 청년이오

 

두 피고가 가게에 들어가서
22가지 물건을 사고

돈을 내고 잔돈을 받고
나간 후

다른 두 사람이 비슷한...
끝가지 듣고 대답해요

다른 두 사람이 비슷한 차를
타고 와서

주인을 쏘고 돈을 갖고
달아났을 수도 있나요?

아뇨, 그럴 시간이 없었어요

가게에 얼마동안 있었죠?

5분정도요

5분?

확실한가요?
시계를 봤어요?

아뇨

두 청년이 가게에 들어갈 때
아침을 준비하기 시작했고

막 먹으려던 순간에 총성이
들렸다고 증언을 하셨죠?

네, 그랬어요

그러면 아침을 만드는데
5분 밖에 안 걸리는 군요

그래요

그래서 알았군요

뭘 먹었었죠?

계란하고 그릿츠요

계란하고 그릿츠
저도 그릿츠를 좋아해요

그릿츠를 어떻게 요리하시죠?
그냥? 크림 넣어서?

 

그냥요

그냥... 인스턴트 그릿츠요?

자존심 있는 남부 사람은
인스턴트 그릿츠는 안 먹어요

 

난 그릿츠에 긍지를 가져요

 

그렇다면 팁톤씨

보통 20분이 걸리는
그릿츠 요리를

어떻게 5분만에 만들죠?

 

몰라요, 제가 빨리 하나 보죠

 

멀어서 잘 못들었어요
빨리 요리한다고 하셨나요?

 

그럼 물이 유독 당신
부엌에서만 빨리 끓나요?

몰라요

당신의 스토브에는 물리의
법칙이 적용 안되나 보죠?

 

마술 그릿츠였나 보죠?

잭이 산 콩을 판
사람이 판건가요?

이의 있습니다
/ 인정합니다

그 질문은 무시해도 됩니다
/ 5분이 확실합니까?

모르겠어요

그만하면 됐소

5분이 확실합니까?

 

잘못 알았을 수 있어요

 

이상입니다

 

당신 해고에요
저 사람으로 하겠어요

 

빨리 가

 

걱정 마
어떻게든 빼내줄께

아냐, 감옥에서 더 잘 잘 수
있을지도 몰라. 나 잘 하고 있지?

 

안녕하세요!

 

크레인씨, 이게 무슨 사진이죠?

 

내 집 주위요
/ 집 주위라!

창문에 묻은
갈색 물질은 뭐죠?

때요. / 때

 

창 위에 걸린 더럽고
녹슨건 뭐죠?

 

스크린요
/ 스크린

스크린이라

당신 시야 정중앙에 있는
이 큰 것들은 뭐죠?

당신 부엌 창문하고
싹커써즈 사이에 있는거요

이 큰게 뭐죠?

 

나무요

그래요, 아는 건 스스럼없이
대답하세요

 

나무에 뭐가 수천개나
달려있죠?

 

나무잎이요
/ 나무잎!

 

나무 사이에 있는 이 무성한 것은요?

 

관목
/ 그래요. 그럼 크레인씨

2초동안 피고 두명을
정확히 알아봤다고 하셨는데

이 더러운 창문을 통해
이 낡은 스크린을 통해

나뭇잎이 수없이 달린
나무들을 통해

몇 개인지는 몰라도
여러개의 관목을 통해서요?

 

5개 같은데요

이거랑 이것도 있잖아요 / 7개요

그럼 녹색 컨버터블에 탄
두 명을 봤지만

꼭 이 두 명이 아닐 수는
있나요?

 

그렇겠네요

이상입니다

 

라일리 부인, 피고들을 봤다고
할 때 안경을 쓰고 계셨나요?

네

 

여기에요

 

지금 안경을 써주시겠어요?

 

안경을 언제부터 쓰셨죠?

6살 때부터요

항상 그렇게 두꺼웠나요?

아뇨, 나이가 들면서
두꺼워졌죠

그럼, 나이가 들면서
눈이 나빠졌군요

안경을 몇 번이나 바꿨죠?

 

60년 동안 10번쯤 됐을 걸요

또 바꿀 때가 된게
아닐까요?

아뇨, 괜찮은 것 같아요

확인해 보는게 좋겠어요

 

피고들이 가계에 들어가는 걸
어느 정도 거리에서 봤죠?

100피트 정도요

100피트라, 이것 좀
잡아 주세요. 감사합니다

 

실례합니다. 실례합니다

 

여기까지가 50피트니까
그 거리의 반이에요

내 손가락을 몇 개
들어올리고 있죠?

 

두 개를 들어오렸다고
기록해요

 

재판장님!

미안해요

라일리 부인만 대답하세요

지금은 손가락이
몇 개나 보이죠?

 

4개요

 

이젠 어때요?

 

안경을 바꿀 때가 됐나 봐요

 

감사합니다

 

여보세요

오늘 잘 하던데요
난 경쟁을 좋아해요

당신도 그런가요?
경쟁은 일을 재미있게 만들죠?

지금까지는 재미있었어요

내일 놀라게 해줄게 있어요

뭔데요?

증거를 전부 보여줘야
된다는 건 알잖아요

나도 오늘 입수했어요

내일 아침에 알려드리죠
판사는 인정해 줄거예요

 

내가 걱정해야 되나요?

내가 당신이라면 걱정할 거요

 

증거 보여줘야 되는거
어디에 나와있어?

보여줄게
왜?

FBI의 자동차 전문
변론 연구 담당입니다

그 자리에서 일한지
얼마나 되셨죠?

18년요

재판장님, 앞으로 가도 됩니까?

원한다면

 

이 증인을 지금 부른데에
이의가 있습니다

그가 증언할 거라는
얘기도 없었으며

그의 실적도 전혀 모릅니다

아시다시피 저는 증인명단을
미리 알 권리가 있습니다

특히 과학적인 증언을 할
증인에 대비하기 위해서

그리고 증인의 지식을
전문가가 확인하고

그의 발언의 신빙성을
확인하기 위해서 말입니다

 

갬비니씨
명석하고 잘 표현한 이의에요

감사합니다 / 기각합니다

 

윌버씨, 이건 피고 차의
타이어 사진입니다

이건 편의점에서 달아난
범죄 차량의 바퀴 자국입니다

눈에 익은 겁니까?
/ 네

설명을 해주시죠

가게 앞의 타이어 자국과
피고의 타이어를 비교했는데

같은 모델의 같은 크기입니다

미쉐린 XGV
75R 14인치 휠입니다

같은 모델에 같은 크기라

또 알아낸게 있나요?

네, 가게 앞에서 출발한 차의
바퀴가 급회전을 했습니다

그 자국에 남은 고무 견본과

피고 뷰익의 바퀴의 샘플을
비교 분석했습니다

분석할 때 어떤 기구를 썼죠?

휴렛 팩커드 5710A
이중 칼럼 개스 색채 감지기와

화염 분석 검파기를 썼습니다

터보까지 달려있나요?

 

플로어 모델에만요

 

분석 결과는 뭐였죠?

두 견본의 구성 성분이
동일합니다

동일하다구요?

 

이상입니다

 

재판장님!

 

고맙습니다, 윌버씨.

 

60분간 점심 시간을
갖겠습니다

새 증거를 검토하게
내일까지 휴정을 부탁드립니다

기각합니다

고맙군요

 

갬비니씨
내 방으로 와요

 

당신은 죽었소
/ 제가 죽었다구요?

그래요, 뉴욕에서 제리 갈로에
대해 뭐라고 했는지 알아요?

제리 갈로라고 하셨나요?
/ 그래요

G로 시작하는 갈로?
/ 그래요

제리 갈로는 죽었어요

나도 알고 있소

저는 제리 갈로가 아니라
칼로에요. C,A,L,L,O

 

알겠소

 

알겠소

 

당장 해결합시다

 

체임벌린 할러 판사인데
서기 계십니까?

 

기다리죠

 

3시 이후에 전화한뎄소

 

파멸의 순간이 연기됐군

90분 내에 이 사건을
기적적으로 이긴다면 몰라도

 

가서 점심 들지 그래요?

 

고마워요

 

사진 뽑았어

잘 됐네

 

판사님이 뭐래?

 

갈로가 죽었다는 걸
알아냈대

알아냈어?

뭐래?

지금 사건에 대해
생각하는 중이야. 미안해.

 

도와줄까?

도울 수 있는게 없어
그럴 수 있다면 좋겠지만

 

왜 그렇게 날 쳐다봐

네가 날 도와줄 방법을
못 찾아내니까 병신이라고?

 

그래, 도움이 될거야
네 사진을 쓰자고

이 사진들은 정말
도움이 될거야

진작 볼걸 그랬어

 

이게 우리 첫 호텔방이지?

이게 트로터를 압도시킬 거야.

내 뒷모습이네

몇 초 전보다 기분이 더
나빠질 수 없다고 생각했는데

 

이건 바퀴 자국이네

더 멀 수도 있을까?
나무에서 찍기라도 했어?

이건 또 뭐야

 

개똥이야! 잘 됐다!
대단한 단서야

왜 진작 생각 못했지?
내가 책 읽는 모습이네

진작 사진 빼오라고 할 걸
그랬어

제기랄! 네가 해냈어

이게 결정적이다

샤워하는 나

정말 좋아

끝장이야

난 가겠어

 

리사!

 

리사!

 

미안해. 젠장!

 

난 뭔가를 못보고 있어

 

뭐 알아냈어요?

거의 없어

 

한 가지도?

 

두 대의 다른 차가
같은 타이어를 쓸 수 있나요?

물론이죠

미국에서 제일 잘 팔리는
타이어가 뭐죠?

미쉐린 XGV요

가장 인기있는 크기는요?

75R 14요

피고와 같군요

 

하지만 같은 색의 1964년형
뷰익 스카일락 컨버터블 2대?

가장 인기있는 크기 타이어가
피고의 차에 달려 있나요?

...네

 

감사합니다

이상입니다

 

증인은 내려가십시오

 

더 있나요? / 검사측은 이상입니다

 

갬비니씨, 첫 증인을 부르세요

 

갬비니씨!

 

마지막으로 한 번만 물어보겠소
만약...

판사님
5분만 주시겠습니까?

제 증인이 법정밖에 있습니다

3분 이상은 안 주겠소

 

보안관님, 이것 좀
알아봐 주세요

당신 일이지 내 일이 아니오

지금 3분밖에 없어요

 

리사, 미안해

안으로 들어와
나 전화도 써야 돼

이러지마, 전화 써야 된다구
화해하자

화해하고 들어가자

다들 우리를 기다려

시간이 없어 / 닥쳐

이리줘 / 꺼져!

왜 그래? 조용히 해

갬비니씨!

 

왜죠?

 

리사, 도움이 필요해
/ 나 좀 내버려둬

 

내가 찾았어, 두고 봐

 

피고측은 첫 증인으로
모나 리사 비토양을 부릅니다

이의 있습니다
이 증인은 명단에 없습니다

이 증인은 자동차 전문가로
윌버씨에 대해 반증할 겁니다

 

재판장님, 비토양을 증인석에
앉히도록 명령해 주시겠습니까?

 

진실만을 말할 것을
맹세합니까?

네

 

비토양은 일종의
자동차 전문가죠?

 

그런가요?

 

질문에 대답하십시오

싫어요, 그를 증오해요

비토양을 적대 증인으로
대해도 될까요?

지금은 아무것도 아니야
오늘밤에 두고 봐

둘이 아는 사인가요?

네, 제 약혼녀예요

그래서 사이가
안 좋은가 보군

이 증인이 전문가인 건
근거가 없습니다

이 사람의 자격을 모릅니다

이 증인의 지식에 대해
알아보고 싶습니다

허락합니다

 

트로터씨, 계속하시죠

 

비토양, 현재 직업이 뭐죠?

일자리 없는 미용사에요

일자리 없는 미용가라

그런데 어떻게 자동차
전문가가 되죠?

안돼죠

그럼 무슨 자격이 있나요?

아버지, 할아버지, 외할아버지
그리고 오빠 3명이 기계공이고

삼촌 4명도 기계공이셨어요

당신 가족이 그렇다면
당신도 직접 일을 해봤나요?

네, 아버지 차고에서 일했어요

 

기계공으로서?

 

어떤 일을 했었죠?

 

튠업, 오일 교환, 라이닝 교환
엔진교정, 트랜스교정, 후면...

좋아요, 기계공으로 일했다고
타이어 자국 전문가인가요?

 

아뇨, 고마워요
잘 있어요

가도 된다고 할 때까지
잠자코 있어요

 

재판장님, 비토양의 지식은
차량에 관한 전반적인 겁니다

그 분야의 지식이 적용될 겁니다

검사님이 이 분야에 관해서
질문하신다면

분명히 만족하실 겁니다

좋아요

 

좋아요

그럼 전반적인 자동차 지식에
있어서 전문가라니

 

327 큐빅 엔진과
4기통 캬브레터가 달린

1955년형 벨레어 셰브롤레의
정확한 시동 시간이 얼마죠?

말도 안되는 질문이에요

그럼 대답할 수 없나요?

대답하기 불가능한 질문이에요

대답을 모르니 불가능하죠

그 누구도 그 질문에
대답 못해요

비토양을 전문가로 인정할 수
없습니다

질문에 대답할 수 있나요?

아뇨, 함정 문제에요

왜 그렇죠?

잘 봐

세비는 1955년도에 327엔진을
만들지 않았어요

327은 1962년 전엔
안 나왔어요

벨레어에 4기통 캬브레터는
1964년 돼서야 나왔구요

하지만 1964년형이면 정확히
정중앙 직전에 4도에요

 

음... 인정하겠습니다

 

이 사진은 제 약혼녀가
싹커써즈 앞에서 찍은 겁니다

동의하죠? / 네

감사합니다

이 바퀴 자국 사진을
증거로 제시합니다

 

트로터씨

 

이의 없습니다

 

비토양이 찍은 사진인가요?

내가 찍은거 알잖아요

무슨 사진이죠?

뭔지 알잖아요

제가 두 쌍의 청년이 동시에

같은 1964년형 녹색 뷰익
스카일락 컨버터블을 타고

싹커써즈 앞을 지나갔을
거라고 했는데

이 사진으로 봐서
가능성이 있나요?

 

비토양, 대답해 주세요
그랬을 가능성이 있나요?

 

아뇨, 없어요

 

확실해요?

그래요

어떻게 확신하죠?

이 바퀴 자국은 1964년형
뷰익 스카일락일 리가 없어요

이건 1963년형 폰티악
템페스트 바퀴 자국이에요

이의 있습니다. 증인의
의견인지 사실인지 불분명해요

당신 의견입니까?

아뇨, 사실이에요

사진 하나를 보고 어떻게
그런 결론이 나오죠?

설명할까요?

네, 듣고 싶어요

나도 그래요

이 자국을 낸 차는
포지트랙션이 있었어요

포지트랙션이 없이는
이런 자국이 안나는데

1964년형 뷰익 스카일락엔
포지트랙션이 없었어요

왜죠?
포지트랙션이 뭔데요?

왼쪽 오른쪽 바퀴에 똑같은
힘을 가해주는 장치에요

1964년형 스카일락은
일반적인 장치라서

알라바마에서 진흙에 빠져본
사람은 누구나 알듯이

페달을 밟으면 한쪽 바퀴만
돌고, 다른 한쪽은 안 돌아요

맞아요

 

그것 뿐인가요?

아뇨, 더 있어요

왼쪽 자국이 인도 위로 갔고
오른쪽은 똑바로 있었는데

1964년형 스카일락은
솔리드 리어 액슬이라

왼쪽 바퀴가 인도에 올라가면
오른쪽이 바깥쪽으로 나가요

하지만 여기서는 자국이
똑바로 났어요

이 차는 독립 리어
서스펜션이었어요

60년대에는 포지트랙션에
독립 리어 서스펜션 차는

두가지 밖에 없었어요

하나는 스카일락과 모양이
전혀 틀린 코베트였고

다른 하나는 64년형
스카일락과 거의 똑같이 생긴

63년형 폰티악 템페스트였어요

둘 다 GM자동차니까
같은 녹색으로도 나왔죠?

네

감사합니다. 이상입니다

정말 감사합니다

아주 사랑스런 증인이
되어 주셨어요

 

트로토씨, 비토양을
또 심문하겠습니까?

 

트로터씨?

 

트로터씨!

 

아닙니다. 이상입니다

그렇다면 죠지 윌버를
다시 부르겠습니다

 

비토양, 내려가시죠

 

아직 맹세한 상태인 건 알죠?
/ 네

 

윌버씨, 비토양의 증언이
어땠죠?

인상적이었어요

그리고 귀엽게 생겼죠?

네, 무척요

 

갬비니씨?

죄송합니다

윌버씨, 전문가로써 비토양의
증언이 정확하다고 생각하나요?

그래요

피고들이 탄 뷰익이 그
자국을 냈을 가능성이 있나요?

 

말씀하세요 괜찮아요

없어요

감사합니다. 이상입니다

 

팔리 보안관을 부릅니다

 

내려가세요. 윌버씨

 

아직 맹세한 상태인 건 알죠?
/ 네

 

뭘 알아 내셨죠?

최근에 버려진 63년형 폰티악
템페스트가 있나 알아봤어요

이 기록에 의하면 피고와
인상착의가 비슷한 두 청년이

이틀전 도난 차량인 63년형 녹색
폰티악 템페스트를 타고 가다

재스퍼 카운티 조지아에서
체포되었답니다

바퀴는 미쉐린 XGV
75R 14인치 모델이구요

 

그게 전부인가요?

아뇨

 

그들 수중에 357 매그넘
권총이 있었습니다

지미 윌리스의 살인에 쓰인
총알이 뭔지 상기시켜 주시죠

 

357 매그넘요

 

이상입니다

 

트로터씨?

 

비토양과 윌버씨의 증언에
따라 모든 혐의를 취소합니다

 

조용히 하십시요

 

조용히 해요

 

3시 전에 떠야 돼
가방 다 실었나 봐

알았어
/ 앞으로 가져와

 

믿지 않았던 거 미안해요

정말 멋지게 해냈어요

고맙다고 인사하고 싶었어요

천만에, 언제 한 번 또 하자

축하합니다, 갬비니씨
/ 감사합니다

또 놀러 와요

그러죠

 

형

빌!

천만에

형! 나...

 

빌리, 잘 들어

시간 두고 생각해서
뉴욕에 가서 전화해

 

알았지?

비니, 대단했어요
고마워요

언제든지 오고 싶을 때 와요
다음엔 사슴을 잡읍시다

고마워요, 하지만 지금 안가면
영영 못 갈것 같아요

 

갬비니씨,
뉴욕에서 팩스가 왔어요

 

사과해야 겠어요

악수할 수 있어서 영광입니다

 

이기기도 지기도 하다니

방식이 독특하긴 해도
대단한 변호사입니다

감사합니다
당신은 대단한 판사에요

죄송해요

 

잘 가요 / 잘 지내요

 

그게 무슨 소리였어?

친구한테 제리 갈로의 위대한
업적에 대한 팩스를

판사에게 보내달라고 부탁했어

 

네가 사법부에 아는
친구가 어디 있어?

자기 친구 / 내 친구?

말로이 판사

 

뭐가 문제야?

내 첫 사건은 누구의 도움도
없이 이기고 싶었단 말야

그러기엔 늦었어 / 그래

 

앞일이 예상되지 않아?

자기는 다른 사람의 도움으로
승소만 하는 거야

재판이 끝날 때마다
누군가에게 감사해야 되겠지

완전히 악몽이네

 

내가 첫 승소를 했으니까
어떻게 되는지 알지?

내가 자기랑 결혼할 것 같아?

결혼 안하겠다는 거야?

가망 없어, 혼자서 이기지도
못하니 이젠 쓸모없잖아

 

이번 주에 결혼할까 했어

이해 못하는 구나
그건 낭만적이지 못하다구

난 교회에, 신부 들러리에
꽃도 원한다구

즉흥적인게 낭만적이라고
나한테 몇 번이나 그랬어?

트림도 즉흥적이지만
낭만적이지는 않아

 

감사합니다.

Yeah!

 

Here's some for 37 cents.
Here's some for 32.

 

Thirty-one.

 

Think that's it.
Don't they have any generics here?

 

I think this is their generic.
I never heard of that brand.

 

Maybe we should get this one.
Maybe it's worth a penny.

 

You're paying for advertising.

 

Tuna. We should get tuna.
Please, no more tuna, okay?

 

It's got protein. We need protein.

 

Beans are protein.
Beans make you fart.

 

We got a convertible.

 

I'm gettin' it for myself.

 

One burrito
and one large Slush.

 

$21.67.
Can you fill this up?

 

21.67.

 

This next one's
a WSTT special request.

 

It goes out to Ernestine
from Charles Weaver
with a big old hug and kiss.

 

-Jesus. Look.
I forgot to pay for this.

 

You could have gotten caught.
What if somebody saw?
The laws are medieval down here.

 

You know what the minimum age
for execution is in Alabama?

 

What, 16?
Ten!

 

Ten?

 

- There's a cop behind us.
- A cop?

 

There's nothin'
to worry about.
There might be.

 

There's nothin' to worry about
until there's somethin' to worry about.

 

Just relax. Please.

 

Is he still there?
Yeah.

 

Goddamn it.
Just calm down.

 

There's a cop behind us. That's all.
There's nothing wrong. There's no problem.

 

Uh-oh.

 

What?
His light's on.

 

Fuck. Fuck! Goddamn it!

 

Fuck! What are we gonna do now?
It's probably nothin'.

 

It might be a taillight.
Just relax.

 

We don't have any money for bail.

 

Bail? We don't need money for bail.
Nothing's happened. Relax.

 

Nothing? We're getting pulled over,
aren't we? You stole something.
You're finished.

 

- Shut up. All right?

 

All right. Here he comes.

 

Show me your hands!

 

-Jesus.
- Show me your hands!
Get 'em up!

 

Get 'em up! Up!

 

Now put your hands
on top of your head
and get out of the car!

 

Out of the car!
Go.

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
It's number three and five.

 

Ridiculous.
All this over a can of tuna.

 

Keep quiet!

 

Yeah. Uh-huh. You sure about that?

 

- Yeah, he's standing right here.

 

All right. Bye.

 

I think
we may get a confession.

 

I just heard that
someone shot Jimmy Willis.

 

He's dead.
Oh, my God!

 

Who would do such a thing?

 

Hello, Bill. I'm Sheriff Farley.
Hi.

 

Do you know why you're here?
Yeah.

 

I do. I'm sorry.
It was a stupid thing to do.

 

Have you been made aware of your rights?

 

Yes.

 

You willing to waive that right?

 

Yes. I'm willing to cooperate fully.

 

I'll sign a statement or whatever
makes this whole thing easier.

 

Good. Good.
That's-That's good.

 

But I want you to know, Stan,
he had nothing to do with it.

 

Did he help you plan it?

 

No. I mean- I mean,
it wasn't planned out.
You know, it just happened.

 

Did Stan try to stop you at any time?

 

No. I mean, he was-

 

- Why? Is that a big deal?
- Aidin' and abettin'.

 

Aiding and abetting?
What is that, a major thing?

 

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

 

An accessory?

 

Are you guys kidding? An accessory?
I didn't help. I didn't plan it.

 

You didn't try to stop it.

 

I didn't know it was happening.
I found out later in the car.

 

Why didn't you get out?
Call the police then?

 

He's my friend.

 

Well,

 

your friend has put you
in a lot of trouble.

 

What's gonna happen to Bill?

 

Nothin', unless he's convicted.

 

Of course if he is,

 

we're gonna run enough electricity
through him to light up Birmingham.

 

We were friends at NYU.

 

We both applied,
and we got scholarships to UCLA.

 

We figured the weather and the scenery
would be nicer going through the South.

 

- What about the tuna fish?
- Then I forgot about the can of tuna fish.

 

And then we-we left.

 

Did he catch you with the tuna fish?
Is that how it started?

 

- No. He didn't say anything.
- But he knew about it?

 

I don't know.

 

Let's talk about that
for a moment.

 

You paid for the groceries.

 

- And then what?
- We went out to the car, and that's it.

 

When'd you shoot him?

 

- What?
- At what point did you shoot the clerk?

 

- I shot the clerk?
- Yes. When did you shoot him?

 

I shot the clerk?

 

Hey, Dean.
We need you out here.

 

I'm in the middle
of a damn confession here!

 

Whoa! Wait a minute!

 

What's the matter?

 

Do you know what this is all about?
Yeah, they're fucking with us.

 

You don't believe them?
No. They don't execute
for shoplifting.

 

You think we're being booked
for shoplifting, huh?
No.

 

You're being booked for shoplifting.
I'm being booked for accessory
to shoplifting.

 

No. Stan,
I'm being booked for murder, and you're
being booked for accessory to murder.

 

It's time to make
your phone calls.

 

Goddamn it!
Is there any way you
could contact your parents?

 

How? Call the Chilean consulate?

 

What are they going to do,
send a guide into the mountains,
looking for them? No.

 

We need to call an attorney,
a great attorney.

 

Do you know any great attorneys?

 

No. I'm calling my mother.

 

Hello, Ma. We're in Wahzoo.

 

It's in Beechum County,
Alabama, Ma.

 

Not too good, Ma.
We, uh...

 

We-We've been arrested.

 

Ma? Ma, please.

 

Ma, please, first of all,
we didn't do it, all right?

 

Murder. Ma. Ma, please-

 

Ma, it's a mistake.
We must look like the guys
who did it.

 

Tell her what
we think is happening.
What we think's happening is-

 

Shut up. We think they're trying
to set us up as patsies, Ma.

 

You know how corrupt
it is down here.

 

They all know each other.
The Klan's here. They're inbred.
They sleep with their sisters.

 

Some of them do.
All right, Ma, listen.

 

We gotta get an attorney,
and it's gonna cost a lot of money.

 

How much would an attorney cost?
A decent one?
$50,000. $100,000.

 

50,000. 100,000-
I know, Ma. I know.

 

Can we use any attorney?
I think so.

 

He says he thinks so.

 

- Oh, he is? Well, that's a great idea.
You'll think he'll do it?
- What?

 

- We got an attorney in the family.
- Great! Who?

 

My cousin Vinny!

 

' Mind your business ??br> ' She's sayin' this '

 

- ??Then he's sayin' that '
- What is that?

 

' I thought she was thin
I thought she was fat '

 

' Deception, collection
Use your own affliction '

 

' The trial of survival '

 

' You need to mind your business '

 

' Yeah
Mind your business '

 

' Mind your business '
' Mind your business '

 

' Mind your business '
Where is he from?

 

' You need to mind your business '

 

' They try to tie you down '

 

' With a ball and chain'

 

' You try to make a move '

 

' So they change the game '

 

' Every time you're up
they try to bring you down '

 

' I'm telling you right now '

 

' Deception, collection
Infection, objection... ''

 

- What?
- Nothin'. You stick out like
a sore thumb around here.

 

Me? What about you?

 

I fit in better than you.
At least I'm wearing cowboy boots.

 

Oh, yeah, you blend.

 

I bet the Chinese food here
is terrible.

 

I don't see anything
out of whack under there.

 

It feels like the wheels went out
of balance after we hit that mud.
That's not it.

 

I think you should put it on a rack
and take a look.

 

What's wrong?

 

What?
What's the problem?

 

Nothing. The car was shimmying
on the highway a little bit.

 

You got mud in your tires.

 

I got mud in my tires?
Mm-hmm.

 

How do you get mud into the tires?
That's just a figure of speech.

 

The mud gets around
the inside of the wheel,
throws the balance off.

 

You ever hear of that?
Mud in the tires?

 

- No.
- She never heard of it.
She knows everything about cars.

 

Hmm.

 

Now see, down here,
everybody gets stuck
in the mud every now and then.

 

Yep, we're famous
for our mud.

 

Famous for your mud?
How's your Chinese food?

 

- You just keep on asking
about Chinese food.

 

Can't you tell they don't have
Chinese restaurants around here?

 

Gotta let everybody know
you're a tourist. Come on.

 

Oh. What are you,
a fuckin' world traveler?

 

Stop the death penalty!

 

Our jail was condemned this morning.

 

That's why we're bringing you all out
to the state corrections facility.

 

Stop the death penalty!

 

Stop the death penalty!

 

Unlock the gate!

 

Go on through.

 

Whoo!

 

You know what happens
in these places?
Yeah, I know what happens in these places.

 

And sometimes there's
a big guy named Bubba
no one wants to tangle with.

 

He'll protect you,
but you have to become his sex slave
and do whatever he wants.

 

There's only the two of us here.

 

What about those cots?
I mean, what if they put
somebody else in here?

 

Stan.

 

Shut up.
Okay.

 

Hey! I can't believe my luck!

 

Here.

 

We got somebody for you.

 

You must be Stan.
How ya doin'?

 

Why'd they
bring you in here?
Well, I just got in.

 

I asked where the new guys were,
and they brought me right here.

 

He's sleeping, huh?
Cute little guy.

 

Maybe I'll just start with you.
We'll let him sleep a little bit.

 

I don't wanna do this.
Hey, I don't blame you.

 

If I was in your situation,
I'd want to get through
this whole thing as quickly...

 

and with as little pain as possible.

 

So, you know,
let's try our best to make it
a simple in-and-out procedure.

 

What's the matter?

 

Relax. Relax. Relax.

 

You know,
maybe we should spend
a couple of minutes together,

 

you know, to get acquainted
before we, uh, you know,
before we get to it.

 

What's wrong with you?
I don't want to do this.

 

Well, I understand,
but, you know, what are your alternatives?

 

My alternatives?
Yeah.

 

To what? To you?
I don't know. Suicide. Death.

 

Look, it's either me or them.
You're gettin' fucked one way
or the other.

 

Hey, hey, hey.

 

Lighten up, okay?
Don't worry. I'm gonna help ya.

 

Oh. Gee, thanks.

 

Excuse me, but I think a modicum of
gratitude would not be out of line here.

 

You think I should be grateful?

 

Yeah. I mean,
it's your ass, not mine.

 

I think you should be grateful.

 

I think you should be down
on your fuckin' knees.

 

I'm sorry.
I didn't know it was such an honor
to get a visit from you.

 

I'm doing a favor here, you know?
You're gettin' me for nothing,
ya little fuck.

 

Boy, that's one hell
of an ego you've got.

 

What the fuck is your problem?

 

I did not come down here
just to get jerked off.

 

No, no. No, no.

 

I'm not jerking you off.
I'm not doing anything.

 

That's it. You're on your own.
I'm just taking care of Sleeping Beauty.

 

Hey, Billy!
Hey, back off!

 

Vin! Hey, Vinny!
Vinny?

 

Vinny Bag-o'-doughnuts,
how are ya?
This is Vinny?

 

I don't know where to start.

 

Have you had
any murder cases before?

 

None. This would be my first.

 

Your first?
Yeah.

 

What kind of cases have you had?
Assault and battery, armed robbery.
You know.

 

No.

 

Well, I expect he's done burglary,
grand theft auto, drugs. Right, Vin?

 

No. Nothing like that either.

 

What kind...
What kind of law do you practice?

 

Well, up till now, uh, personal injury.

 

Well, you're a trial attorney, right?
I mean, personal injury trials.

 

Well, actually, this would be
my first foray into the trial process.

 

I haven't had
to go to court yet.

 

Knock on wood.

 

You haven't had to go to court yet.
How long have you been practicing?

 

Almost six weeks.

 

But- Vin, you graduated
from law school six years ago.
What have you been doing since?

 

Studying for the bar.

 

- Six years?
- Mm-hmm.

 

That's a lot of studying.

 

Well, to be honest with you,

 

I, um- I didn't pass my first time out.

 

That's okay. You probably
passed the second time, right?

 

I'm afraid not.

 

- Three times a charm?
- Not for me it isn't.

 

No. For me, six times was a charm.

 

Six times.

 

A little informal, aren't we?

 

I was just resting...
Not wearing a coat or tie.

 

Oh! Sorry.

 

Well, approving an attorney
from out of state is
a pretty informal matter.

 

- I just have a few questions.
- Okay. Fire away, Judge.

 

Where did you
go to law school?
Brooklyn Academy of Law.

 

Is that an accredited law school?

 

Uh-

 

Oh. Yes.

 

How long you been practicing?

 

Oh, about, uh, six, uh-

 

Almost 16 years.

 

- Any murder cases?
Lots of them. Quite a few. Yes.

 

What was the outcome?

 

Uh, you know, win some, lose some.

 

Hmm.

 

This is not the forum to be cavalier.

 

Oh, of course.
Now let me see.

 

Most recently,
I had an ax murder,

 

which I won on the grounds
of temporary insanity.

 

- Want to hear the facts of the case?
- No.

 

What else?
Let me see. What else?

 

You ever heard of the Son of Sam?

 

Fellow who received orders
to kill from a dog?

 

That one.

 

You defended him?
Well, no. Not exactly.

 

I, uh-
I defended the first guy they arrested.

 

And, uh,
he was found innocent and set free,

 

and, uh, they caught the real guy.

 

Well, we don't have
any serial killers in Beechum County.

 

But what we do have is every bit as
sophisticated a system of justice...

 

as they do
in the rest of the country.

 

- Oh, I'm sure.
- You being from New York and all
might have the impression that law is...

 

practiced with a certain degree
of informality down here.

 

It isn't.
Right.

 

I tell you this because I want you to
know that when it comes to procedure,

 

I'm not a patient man.

 

I advise you, sir,
when you come into my courtroom,
you are to know the letter of the law.

 

- I react harshly when you don't.
- You should.

 

- Don't think being from New York
you're gonna get special treatment.
- I shouldn't.

 

You won't.

 

You'll be given
no leeway whatsoever.

 

I expect you to know this information
when you come into my courtroom.

 

Uh-huh. Right.

 

You willing
to accept those terms?
Right. No problem.

 

Just this?

 

' And if you love him '

 

' Oh, be proud of him '

 

' 'Cause after all, he?셲 just a man '

 

This is gonna be great.
Vinny's first case.

 

- So? What can I do to help?
- ' Stand by your man '

 

Nothing?
' Give him two arms to cling to '

 

No.

 

' And something warm to come to '

 

' When nights are cold ''

 

What the fuck is that?

 

Want to sit at the counter?

 

Hey. How ya doin'?

 

Listen. Uh, what's the story
with this incredibly, remarkably,

 

loud whistle
at 5:30 in the morning?

 

It's the steam whistle.
Oh.

 

Over at the sawmill.
Tell folks it's time to get up.

 

You can hear it for miles.

 

Y'all want something?
Yeah.

 

Hmm.

 

Breakfast?
Ya think?

 

Uh... Good choice.

 

Two.

 

Excuse me.

 

You guys down here...

 

hear about the ongoing
cholesterol problem in the country?

 

- What's-What's this over here?
- You never heard of grits?

 

Sure. Sure. I heard of grits.

 

I just actually never seen a grit before.

 

- Go ahead, honey. You gonna try it?
- You first.

 

- What is a grit anyways?
- It's made out of corn. Them hominy grits.

 

Hominy.

 

Hmm.

 

- How you cook it?
- Well, you simmer it in water
for 15 or 20 minutes.

 

Put it on the plate and add butter.

 

So? You gonna eat it or not?

 

Here?

 

Is your attorney here?
I am the attorney.

 

Oh. Jim Trotter III,
District Attorney,
Beechum County.

 

Vincent La Guardia Gambini I.
Brooklyn.

 

Nice to see you.

 

Yeah.

 

Vin.
Hey.

 

All rise for His Honor,
Judge Chamberlain Haller.

 

The court of Beechum County
is now in session.

 

Be seated.

 

First case.. The People
of the State of Alabama...

 

versus William Robert Gambini
and Stanley Marcus Rothenstein.

 

Stein. She called me "Stine."
Just-

 

Counselor, your clients are charged
with first-degree murder.
How do they plead?

 

- Your Honor, my clients...
- Don't talk to me sittin' in that chair.

 

Well, he told me to sit here.

 

When you're addressing this court,
you will rise...

 

and speak to me
in a clear, intelligible voice.

 

Sorry.

 

- My clients are...
- What are you wearin'?

 

Huh?

 

What are you wearin'?
I'm, uh, wearin', uh, clothes.

 

I-I-I don't get the question.

 

When you come into my court
looking like you do,

 

you not only insult me,

 

but you insult
the integrity of this court.

 

I apologize, sir,
but, uh, this is how I dress.

 

Next time
you come into my courtroom,
you will look lawyerly.

 

And I mean you comb your hair
and wear a suit and tie.

 

And that suit better
be made out of some kind of cloth.

 

You understand me?

 

Uh, yes. Uh, fine, Judge. Fine.
Good.

 

You may continue.
How do your clients plead?

 

Uh, my clients, caught
completely by surprise,

 

they thought
they were getting arrested
for, uh, shoplifting a can of tuna.

 

What are you telling me,
that they plead not guilty?

 

No. I'm-I'm just trying to explain.

 

I don't want to hear explanations.
The State of Alabama has its procedure.

 

And that procedure, at this point in time,
is to have an arraignment.

 

- Are we clear on this?
- Uh, yes.

 

But, uh, there seems to be
a great deal of confusion here.

 

- Mr. Gambini.
- See, my clients, uh-

 

Uh, Mr. Gambini.

 

You want me
to come all the way?

 

Okay.

 

All I ask from you is a very simple
answer to a very simple question.

 

There are only two ways to answer it.
Guilty or not guilty.

 

Your Honor,
my clients didn't do anything.

 

Once again the communication process
is broken down.

 

It appears to me that you want
to skip the arraignment process,

 

go directly to trial,
skip that and get a dismissal.

 

Well, I'm not about to revamp
the entire judicial process...

 

just because you find yourself
in the unique position...

 

of defending clients
who say they didn't do it.

 

Now, next words out of your mouth are
either gonna be "guilty" or "not guilty."

 

I don't want to hear commentary,
argument or opinion.

 

If I hear anything other than "guilty"
or "not guilty," you'll be in contempt.

 

I don't even want to hear you
clear your throat.

 

I hope I've been clear.

 

Now, how do your clients plead?

 

I think I get the point.

 

No, I don't think you do.

 

You're now in contempt of court.

 

Would you like to go
for two counts of contempt?

 

- Not guilty.
- Thank you.

 

Bail will be set at $200,000.

 

Preliminary hearing will be set
for 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.

 

Bailiff, please take
Mr. Gambini into custody.
His bail will be set at $200.

 

Come with me, please.

 

All rise as the judge leaves.

 

You have to bail me out.
You know that, right?

 

Hey, Tom!

 

Let's go.
Yeah, what you want, Junior?

 

They're gonna nuke
this guy Norton this weekend.

 

Looks like it.

 

You got one huge responsibility,
taking on this murder case.

 

You screw up,
and those boys get fried.

 

I know.

 

So you think you know
what you're doin'?

 

Yeah, I think I know what I'm doin'.

 

'Cause you didn't look like you knew
what you were doin' today
in that courtroom.

 

Why is that?
Well, it's a lot of procedure.
That's all.

 

I mean, I'll learn it as I go.
Learn as you go?

 

Yeah. Yeah.
Didn't they teach that
in law school?

 

No. That's not what they teach you.
They teach you contracts,
precedents, interpretations.

 

Then the firm that hires you,
they teach you procedures.

 

Or you could go to court
and watch.

 

So why didn't you
go to court and watch?

 

Because between your father's garage
and working nights,
when was I supposed to go?

 

I thought maybe this summer
I would take off a couple of months.

 

But it ain't no big deal.

 

Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.

 

I don't know how you can be so sure
when you don't know what it is
you're supposed to know.

 

It's a procedure. Like rebuilding
a carburetor has a procedure.

 

You know when you rebuild a carburetor,
the first thing you do is you take
the carburetor off the manifold?

 

Supposing you skipped
the first step?

 

And, while you're replacing one of
the jets, you accidentally drop the jet.

 

It goes down the carburetor,
rolls along the manifold
and goes into the head. You're fucked.

 

You just learned the hard way
that you gotta remove
the carburetor first. Right?

 

So that's all
that happened to me today.
I learned the hard way.

 

Actually, it was
a good learning experience for me.

 

All right. Is there any way
I could help out
in this procedure situation?

 

Yeah. Keep bailing me out.

 

There is one problem.
We can't afford
to keep bailing you out.

 

I already cashed in
half the traveler's checks.

 

I didn't want to cash them in,
but I didn't want
to bounce a check,

 

so I tried hustling the money,
but I got stiffed, so I had to cash in
the traveler's checks.

 

What do you mean you got stiffed?
Did you say you got stiffed?

 

' 'Cause I'll always come back to you '

 

' If it ain't none of your business, baby '

 

' You better keep it... ''

 

Hey. Vincent La Guardia Gambini.

 

- His name's J.T.
- J.T.

 

I believe you and Lisa played
a game of pool for $200 which she won.
I'm here to collect.

 

- How about if I just kick your ass?
- Oh, a counteroffer.

 

That's what we lawyers...
I'm a lawyer-
We lawyers call that a counteroffer.

 

Let me see. This is
a tough decision
you give me here.

 

Get my ass kicked
or collect $200. Hmm.

 

What do you think?
I could use a good ass kicking.
I'll be very honest with you.

 

Hmm.

 

Nah, I think
I'll just go with the 200.

 

Over my dead body.

 

You like to renegotiate
as you go along, huh?

 

Okay, then here's my counteroffer.

 

Do I have to kill you?
What if I was just to kick
the ever-lovin' shit out of ya?

 

- In your dreams.
- Oh, no, no, no. In reality.

 

If I was to kick the shit out of you,
do I get the money?

 

If you kick the shit
out of me?

 

- Yeah.
- Yeah. Then you get the money.

 

- What happened? Rear-ended?
- No. I fell.

 

Oh. Okay.

 

Let's see if we agree
on the terms.

 

The choice now is
I get my ass kicked,

 

or option B,
I kick your ass
and collect the 200.

 

I'm going with option B:
kicking your ass
and collecting $200.

 

We gonna fight now?

 

Yeah. First, let me see the money.

 

- I have the money.
- All right. Let me see it.
Show it to me.

 

- I can get it.
- You can get it?

 

All right. Get it,
and then we'll fight.

 

Did you fall in your place
or somebody else's?

 

My place.
Shit.

 

He blew the arraignment.

 

It's a simple procedure.
You heard what the judge said.

 

All he had to do
was say "guilty" or "not guilty."
We could have done that.

 

- So? What are you saying?
- What am I saying?

 

You saw what happened in there.
You want to stay with him after that?

 

Shit, Stan.
I don't want to fire him.
I mean, he's family, you know.

 

My mother-
the way her health is right now-

 

I appreciate that,
but should you die for that?

 

Wouldn't your mother
be more upset if you die?

 

The thing is, given the chance,
I think he could do a good job.

 

- No. You're wrong.
- Come on, fellas.
Knock it off. Let's go.

 

All right, Stan.
Listen to me.
You have to see the Gambinis in action.

 

These people... they love to argue.
I mean, they live to argue.

 

My parents argue too.
That doesn't make them good lawyers.

 

Stan, I've seen your parents argue.
Trust me. They're amateurs.

 

Is that a drip I hear?

 

Yeah.

 

Weren't you the last one
to use the bathroom?

 

So?

 

Well, did you use the faucet?
Yeah.

 

- Then why didn't you turn it off?
- I did turn it off.

 

Well, if you turned it off,
why am I listening to it?

 

Did it ever occur to you it could be
turned off and drip at the same time?

 

No, because if you turned it off,
it wouldn't drip.

 

Maybe it's broken.
Is that what you're saying?
It's broken?

 

Yeah, that's it. It's broken.

 

You sure?

 

I'm positive.

 

Maybe you didn't
twist it hard enough.

 

- I twisted it just right.
- How could you be so sure?

 

If you will look in the manual,
you will see that this
particular model faucet...

 

requires a range
of 10 to 16 foot-pounds
of torque.

 

I routinely twist to
maximum allowable torquage.

 

How could you be sure you used
16 foot-pounds of torque?

 

Because I used
a Craftsman model 10-19,

 

laboratory edition,
signature series torque wrench.

 

The kind used by Caltech high-energy
physicists and NASA engineers.

 

Well, in that case,
how could you be sure that's accurate?

 

Because a split second
before the torque wrench
was applied to the faucet handle,

 

it had been calibrated
by top members...

 

of the state and federal Department
of Weights and Measures...

 

to be dead-on balls accurate.

 

Here's a certificate of validation.

 

Dead-on balls accurate?

 

It's an industry term.

 

I guess the fuckin' thing is broken.

 

We gotta move.

 

Then I heard two loud bangs
like firecrackers.

 

I looked up and saw two young men
run out from the Sac-O-Suds...

 

and jump into a green car
with a white convertible top...

 

and drive off like the dickens.

 

Mrs. Riley, are those two young men
present in the courtroom today?
Yes, sir, they are.

 

- Could you point 'em
out for me, please, ma'am?
- They's sittin' right there.

 

Uh-huh. Now, uh,
Mrs. Riley, is this the car?

 

Yes, sir, it is.
Thank you, ma'am.

 

Let the record show
Mrs. Constance Riley
identified the defendant's car.

 

I was makin' my breakfast.

 

I saw them two boys
go into the store.

 

Then later, I heard a gunshot.

 

Looked out the window.

 

- They was runnin' out,
got into the car and drove off.

 

Is this the car?

 

Yes, it is.

 

Thank you, sir.

 

You saw those two boys
run out of the Sac-O-Suds,
jump in this car and take off?

 

Yeah. They peeled away.
Car was all over the road.
Thank you, sir.

 

I asked him if he did it,
and he said, "I shot the clerk."

 

I asked him again,
and again he said, "I shot the clerk."

 

Your Honor, no further questions.

 

- Mr. Gambini?
- Yes?

 

- You have anything to add?
- Thing? What thing?

 

Not for me to say.

 

Uh, no, sir.

 

You can stand down.

 

- Do you have any other witnesses?
- No, Your Honor.

 

The court finds sufficient evidence
exists for this matter to go to trial.

 

I'm setting this matter for trial
this Monday, February 2, 10:00 a.m.

 

- Mr. Gambini.

 

Stand up.

 

Now didn't I tell you next time
you appear in my courtroom
that you dress appropriately?

 

You were serious about that?

 

Why didn't you
ask them any questions?
Questions?

 

Ask who questions?

 

You knew you could ask questions,
didn't you, Vin?

 

Maybe if you put up some kind
of a fight, you could've gotten
the case thrown out.

 

Hey, Stan, you're in Ala-fuckin'-bama.

 

You come from New York.
You killed a good ol' boy.

 

There is no way
this is not goin' to trial.

 

What the fuck
is goin' on here, Vinny?

 

You fuckin' up
this case or what?

 

I explained it to you already.
It?셲 just procedure.
I'm bound to fuck up a little.

 

A little?
You got thrown in jail. Twice.

 

Hey. I know I was in jail.
I don't need you to point it out
to me, okay?

 

I mean, you-you're my fianc챕e.

 

You're supposed to stand by your man,
you know, encourage me a little bit.

 

A little encouragement.

 

Is that what you want?
Yeah.

 

Oh, I'm sorry.
You were wonderful in there.

 

The way you handled that judge.
Oh, you are a smooth talker!

 

You are. You are.
All right. Knock it off.
Knock it off.

 

You think I like fuckin' up?
Is that it?

 

You know, you raggin' on me
is not gonna give me
any great spontaneous knowledge.

 

- Yeah?
- So shut it!

 

Fuck.

 

- You done readin'?
- Yeah.

 

You wanna go to bed?

 

I don't know.
I don't feel good.

 

You shouldn't feel good.
You haven't slept much in three days.

 

That's part of it.

 

You know what it is?

 

I'm, uh... I'm really scared.

 

You should be.

 

How the fuck
did I get into this shit?

 

"Oh, sure, no problem.
I could win the case."

 

I already got myself
sent to jail twice.

 

I could win this thing,
you know. I know I could.

 

If I could keep my ass awake
and out of jail long enough,
bet you I could, huh?

 

You know
what I think?
What?

 

Honestly?
I think that once you're out there,
and you're doing your thing out there,

 

I think you're
gonna be really great.

 

Really great.

 

If... you don't fuck up.

 

If this was a conspiracy,
they'd have to get all those people to lie.

 

You think that's
what's happening?

 

Look, I think we should meet
with the public defender,
see what he's like.

 

If he's honest,
then we should go with him.

 

All right.

 

That's Death Row in there.

 

It is?

 

The chair ain't
workin' like it used to.

 

The guy we fried last week-

 

took us three attempts,
and his head caught fire.

 

See, there's no money
in the budget
to get it looked at.

 

I say it'd be cheaper
to get it fixed...

 

than keep runnin' up them
extra electric bills.

 

Hi, Stanley.

 

My name is John Gibbons,

 

and I'm, um, an attorney
in the public defender's office.

 

Hi, John.
Hey.

 

Now, the evidence against you
is pretty strong.

 

So, um, why don't you just tell me
your side of the story?

 

Hey, Vin.

 

Hey. Billy.
How are you?

 

How you feel? Okay?
All right. Hanging in.

 

Where's Stan?
Uh, Stan.
He's not comin'... Stan.

 

He's, um-

 

Well, he wants to go
with the public defender.

 

Listen, Vin. I-

 

I'm goin' with
the public defender too.

 

I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry.
I just didn't know what little
experience you have with this.

 

What, are you scared?

 

Yeah, I'm scared.

 

Look, maybe I could have handled
the preliminary a little better, okay?
I admit it.

 

But what's most important
is winnin' the case. I could do it.

 

I really could.

 

Let me tell you how, okay?
The D.A. has got to build a case.

 

Building a case
is like building a house.

 

Each piece of evidence
is just another building block.

 

He wants to make
a brick bunker of a building.

 

He wants to use serious,
solid-looking bricks like these, right?

 

Right.

 

Let me show you something.

 

He's gonna show you the bricks.

 

He'll show you
they got straight sides.

 

He'll show you how
they got the right shape.

 

He'll show them to you
in a very special way...

 

so that they appear to have
everything a brick should have.

 

But there's one thing
he's not gonna show you.

 

When you look at the bricks
at the right angle,

 

they're as thin
as this playing card.

 

His whole case is an illusion,
a magic trick.

 

It has to be an illusion,
'cause you're innocent.

 

Nobody- I mean nobody-

 

pulls the wool over the eyes
of a Gambini, especially this one.

 

Give me the chance.

 

One chance.

 

Let me question the first witness.

 

If after that point you don't think
that I'm the best man for the job,
fire me then and there.

 

I'll leave quietly, no grudges.

 

All I ask is for that one chance.

 

I think you should give it to me.

 

He thinks you should give it to him?

 

What was he before he was a lawyer,
a fuckin' comedian?

 

How can it hurt?
If he doesn't ask the right questions,
your lawyer will, right?

 

He could still fuck things up.

 

There's more to cross-examination
than knowing what to say.

 

It's knowing what not to say.

 

Look, let's say he asks
all the possible questions, right?

 

And the witness has all the answers.
He ends up proving the prosecution's case.

 

How did he ever talk you into it?

 

At my cousin Ruthie's wedding,
the groom's brother
was that guy Alakazam.

 

You know
who I'm talking about?

 

The magician with the ponytail?
Right.

 

Well, he did his act. Every time
he made something disappear,
Vinny jumped on him.

 

I mean, he nailed him.
It was, "It's in his pocket."

 

Or, "He's palming it."
Or, "There's a mirror
under the table."

 

He was like, "Wait a second.
Wait a second.
It?셲 joined in the middle.

 

There's a spring around it.
It pops it open when
it's inside the tube."

 

I mean, it was...
it was Alakazam's
worst nightmare.

 

But he was just being Vinny.

 

He was just being
the quintessential Gambini.

 

There goes
the quintessential Norton.

 

Lookee here, J.T.

 

Hey, hey, little Yankee boy.
Look here what I got.

 

What is it?

 

Two hundred dollars.

 

Bring it here. Let me see it.

 

Hmm.

 

How do I know that's not a bunch of ones
with a 20 wrapped around it?

 

- It's 200 bucks.
- Fan it out. Show it to me.

 

Yeah, right.

 

Mmm.

 

Does that freight train
come through at 5:00 a.m.
every morning?

 

No, sir. It's very unusual.

 

Okay.

 

I was making a lot of money,
winning most of my cases.

 

Excuse me, Mr. Trotter.
Thank you, Shirley.

 

But my clients were guilty as hell.

 

And finally, after getting this one fellow off
some very serious charges
for about the fourth time,

 

I tell you the truth...
my conscience got to me.

 

Wouldn't I be better off serving justice
by puttin' the guilty in jail?

 

Well, that's what I've been doing,
and, uh, I'm a happier man for it.

 

Hmm.
How about you?

 

Well, I got a bullshit traffic ticket.

 

I went to court.

 

I got the cop on the stand, and I argued
with him until he admitted he was wrong.

 

And, uh, the judge-
this Judge Malloy-

 

all the while,
he's laughin' and smilin'.

 

And then afterwards,
he asked me to go
to lunch with him.

 

Then he says to me,
"You know what?
You'd be a good litigator."

 

I don't know
what the hell he was talking about.
I don't know what a litigator is.

 

I never thought of becoming a lawyer.

 

But this Judge Malloy
was from Brooklyn too.

 

I mean, he did it,
so all of a sudden it seemed possible.

 

So I went to law school.

 

Then, from time to time,
he would come by,

 

see how I was doin',
if I needed anything.

 

He was a nice man.

 

I mean, to go out of his way
like that for me, you know?

 

He wanted his son
to follow in his footsteps,
but he became a musician or something.

 

I remember when I graduated,
he was so proud of me.

 

That's quite a story.
Yeah.

 

So, we got some case
ahead of us here, huh?
Oh, yeah.

 

How do you feel about it?
Oh.

 

Well, I'd... I'd like to have
the murder weapon.

 

But other than that,
I feel pretty good.

 

- You do?
- Oh, yeah.

 

- Hmm.
- Hey, what are you doing this afternoon?

 

- You're going hunting?
- That's right.

 

Why are you goin' huntin'?
Shouldn't you be out preparin' for court?

 

I was thinkin' last night.

 

If only I knew
what he knows, you know?

 

If he let me look at his files-
Oh, boy.

 

Well, I don't get it.
What has gettin' to Trotter's files
have anything to do with hunting?

 

Well, you know,
two guys out in the woods,
guns, on the hunt.

 

It's a bonding thing, you know?
Show him I'm one of the boys.

 

He's not gonna let me look at his
files, but maybe he'll relax enough...

 

to drop his guard so that I can finesse
a little information out of him.

 

What am I gonna wear?
What are you gonna hunt?

 

I don't know. He's got, uh...
He's got a lot
of stuffed heads in his office.

 

Heads?

 

What kind of heads?
I don't know.

 

- He's got a boar, a bear, a couple of deer.
- Whoa. You're gonna shoot a deer?

 

I don't know. I suppose.
I mean, I'm a man's man.
I could go deer huntin'.

 

A sweet, innocent, harmless,
leaf-eatin', doe-eyed, little deer.

 

Hey, Lisa, I'm not gonna go
out there just to wimp out,
you know?

 

I mean, the guy will lose respect for me.
Would you rather have that?

 

What about these pants I got on?
You think they're okay?

 

Oh!

 

Imagine you're a deer.

 

You're prancin' along.
You get thirsty.

 

You spot a little brook.

 

You put your little deer lips
down to the cool, clear water.

 

Bam! A fuckin' bullet rips off
part of your head!

 

Your brains are laying
on the ground
in little bloody pieces.

 

Now I ask you, would you give
a fuck what kind of pants...

 

the son of a bitch
who shot you was wearing?

 

I'd sure like to get
a look at your files.

 

You would?
Sure.

 

You got a Xerox machine
over there?
Uh, no.

 

Oh, that's okay.
I'll have my secretary do it.

 

Shirley, can you xerox
all the files...

 

on the Gambini/Rothenstein case
for Mr. Gambini?

 

Yeah.
Thank you, sweetheart.

 

What's all that?
Trotter's files, all of 'em.

 

You stole his files?
I didn't steal his files.

 

Listen to this.

 

I'm just waiting to finesse him.
I'm startin' to finesse him.
I got him goin'.

 

He offers to have his secretary
copy everything for me.

 

That's very impressive finessing.

 

That's not all.

 

He's lettin' us use
his hunting cabin
as soon as he gets back.

 

It's in the woods. It's quiet.
He sleeps like a baby
when he's there.

 

Terrific.
You're a hell of a bonder.

 

What's this?
You, uh, readin' this book?

 

Yeah.
Do me a favor, okay?
Don't read this book.

 

Okay?
Thank you very much.

 

All right.

 

Don't you wanna know why
Trotter gave you his files?

 

I told you why already.

 

He has to, by law. You're entitled.
It's called "disclosure," you dickhead.

 

He has to show you everything.

 

Otherwise, it could be a mistrial.

 

He has to give you a list
of all his witnesses.
You can talk to all his witnesses.

 

He's not allowed any surprises.

 

They didn't teach you that
in law school either?

 

Now let me ask you this.

 

How many different
levels of thickness
have you gone through?

 

What'd you have for breakfast?
Well-

 

What's that brown stuff?

 

Huh?

 

Yesterday, you told me
that freight train hardly ever
comes through here...

 

at 5:00 a.m. in the morning.
I know.

 

She's supposed to come through
at 10 after 4:00.

 

Can you participate in an endeavor
in which the ultimate decision
might be death by electrocution?

 

Ma'am?

 

I think it should be
left up to the victims' families
rather than the courts.

 

Uh-huh.
Uh, the defendants in this case...

 

are charged with robbing
a convenience store,

 

and then, in a most cowardly fashion,
shootin' the clerk in the back.

 

Now, if sufficient evidence is offered
to prove these facts,
you think you could...

 

Fry 'em.

 

She'll do.

 

Hmm.

 

Mr. Gambini.

 

Come in, come in.

 

I just got a fax
from the New York State Office
of Judicial Records...

 

that they have no records...

 

of any Vincent Gambini
ever trying any case
in the entire state of New York.

 

Uh, you're not gonna find
any, uh- any records...

 

of Vincent La Guardia Gambini
practicing in any courts.

 

I just told you that.
You don't understand.

 

See, 20 years ago,
I became a actor.

 

And there was this very prominent
stage actor in New York.
His name was Vincent Gambini.

 

Maybe you heard of him.
No.

 

Never heard of him?
Doesn't matter. Anyway,

 

I had to change my name,
which I did, legally.

 

- So now I practice law under
my legally changed stage name.
- What name is that?

 

Jerry Gal-

 

Jerry Gallo.

 

You can still call me Gambini.

 

Sorry.

 

And what name
did you tell him?
Jerry Gallo.

 

Jerry Gallo?
The big attorney?

 

Yeah.
Think that was
a smart move?

 

Yeah, well, the man is
a seriously accomplished lawyer.

 

He checks up on this guy,
his name will show up
all over the place.

 

His name was in the papers
all last week.
Yeah, I saw that.

 

But you didn't actually
read the articles.

 

No.
That's too bad.

 

Why is that?
'Cause he's dead.

 

What's the matter with you?

 

I don't know.

 

- You're acting like
you're nervous or somethin'.
- Well, yeah, I am.

 

What are you nervous about?
I'm the one under the gun here.

 

Trial starts tomorrow.
You wanna know
what I'm nervous about?

 

I'll tell you what I'm nervous about.
I am in the dark here
with all this legal crap.

 

I have no idea what's going on.
All's I know is you're
screwin' up, and I can't help.

 

You lent me your little camera,
didn't you?

 

Oh, Vinny, I'm watchin' you
go down in flames,

 

and you're bringing me with you,
and I can't do anything about it.

 

And?
Well, I hate to bring it up,

 

because you got enough pressure
on you already, but...

 

we agreed to get married
as soon as you won your first case.

 

Meanwhile, 10 years later,
my niece,

 

the daughter of my sister,
is gettin' married.

 

My biological clock is tickin' like this,

 

and the way this case is goin',
I ain't never gettin' married!

 

Lisa, I don't need this.

 

I swear to God,
I do not need this right now, okay?

 

I got a judge that?셲 just achin'
to throw me in jail,

 

an idiot who wants to fight me
for $200, slaughtered pigs,

 

giant, loud whistles.

 

I ain't slept in five days.

 

I got no money,
a dress-code problem,

 

and a little murder case which,
in the balance,

 

holds the lives of two innocent kids,

 

not to mention your...
biological clock,
my career'

 

your life, our marriage,
and let me see...

 

What else could we pile on?

 

Is there any more shit we could pile on
to the top of the outcome of this case?

 

Is it possible?

 

Maybe it was a bad time
to bring it up.

 

- What the fuck is that?

 

This is very romantic...

 

out here in this field,
under the stars,

 

quiet,

 

no one around for miles.

 

It's very romantic.

 

I don't see no stars.

 

Oh, honey, move.

 

My back. Wait.

 

I gotta get up.

 

Just let me-

 

This fucking jacket!

 

Hey!
Ohh.

 

Oh.

 

Fuck!

 

Okay.

 

- Whoa!
- You okay?

 

What was in that pink
plastic thing in the trunk?
It's your suit.

 

What is my suit
doin' in the trunk?

 

I had it cleaned.
I thought it would be a nice surprise-
go in there with a nice clean suit.

 

Got 30 fucking minutes
to take a shower,

 

get a new suit, get dressed
and get to the fuckin' courthouse.

 

You fuckin' shower.
I'll get your fuckin' suit.

 

Hey, hey!
Little Yankee wuss!

 

Lookee here.
I got your $200.

 

You gonna kick the shit
outta me now?

 

- Well, here he comes.

 

Mr. Gambini,

 

are you mocking me
with that outfit?

 

Mocking you?
No, I'm not mocking you, Judge.

 

Then explain that... outfit.

 

I bought a suit. You've seen it.
Now it's covered in mud.

 

This town doesn't have
a one-hour cleaners,

 

so I had to buy a new suit.

 

Except that the only store
you could buy a new suit in
has got the flu.

 

You get that?
The whole store got the flu.

 

So I had to get this
in a secondhand store.

 

So...

 

it's either wear the leatherjacket,

 

which I know you hate, or this.

 

So I wore this
ridiculous thing for you.

 

Are you on drugs?

 

Drugs? No, I don't take drugs.

 

- I don't like your attitude.
- What else is new?

 

- I'm holdin' you in contempt of court.
- There's a fuckin' surprise.

 

- What'd you say?
- What?

 

What'd you just say?

 

What'd I say? What?

 

Uh, Your Honor, counsel,
members of the jury,

 

the evidence in this case
is gonna show...

 

that at 9:30 in the morning
of January 4,

 

both defendants,
Stanley Rothenstein
and William Gambini,

 

were seen gettin' out
of their metallic green...

 

1964 Buick Skylark convertible
with a white top.

 

The evidence is gonna show
that they were seen entering...

 

the Sac-O-Suds convenience store
in Wahzoo City.

 

The evidence is gonna show
that minutes after
they entered the Sac-O-Suds,

 

a gunshot was heard
by three eyewitnesses.

 

You're gonna then hear
the testimony
of the three eyewitnesses...

 

who saw the defendants
running out of the Sac-O-Suds...

 

a moment after
the shots were heard,

 

gettin' into their faded,
metallic green 1964 Buick Skylark...

 

and driving off in great haste.

 

Finally, the state is gonna prove...

 

that the defendants,
Gambini and Rothenstein,

 

admitted, then recanted, their testimony
to the sheriff of Beechum County.

 

Now let's get down
to the link lock.

 

Your verdict is gonna depend...

 

on what you think
of the sworn testimony.

 

Not what I think.
What I think don't count.

 

You're the jury. It's your job
to decide who's telling the truth.

 

Truth.
That's what "verdict" means.

 

It's a word comes down
from old England...

 

and all our little old ancestors.

 

Now, we're gonna be asking you
to return a verdict...

 

of murder in the first degree
for William Gambini...

 

and a verdict of accessory
to murder in the first degree...

 

for Stanley Rothenstein...

 

for helping Gambini...

 

commit this heinous crime.

 

Counselor, do you wish
to make an opening statement?

 

Counselor?

 

Vinny. Vinny.
What?

 

Come on. It's time to make
your opening statement.
Come on, Vin.

 

Uh, everything that guy just said
is bullshit. Thank you.

 

Objection, Your Honor.
Counsel's entire
opening statement is argument.

 

Objection sustained.
The entire opening statement,

 

with the exception of ?쏷hank you,"
will be stricken from the record.

 

The jury will please disregard
counsel's entire opening statement.

 

And you, Mr. Gambini-

 

You will not use that kind
of language in my court.
You understand me?

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

Putz.

 

Counselor?
Your statement, sir.

 

Well, now, uh,

 

ladies and gentlemen of the j-j-j-

 

of-of-of-of the j-j-j...

 

jury!

 

Um, on-on...
on-on...

 

on January f-f-f-f-

 

f-f-f-f-f-f-f-fourth of this year,

 

my client did indeed visit...

 

the Sac-O-Suds con-con-

 

um, um,

 

um, convenience store.

 

But... But...

 

he didn't, um-
kill anyone.

 

He-He, uh, um, uh-

 

We-We intend to prove...

 

that the p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-

 

prosecution's case is circumstantial...

 

and-and-and-and-and-

 

Oh! Uh, coincidental.

 

Thank you.

 

That's it? What about
everything we talked about?

 

I get a little nervous sometimes.
I'm gettin' better.
A little nervous?

 

I heard a gunshot,
so I looked out the window,

 

and I seen them two boys run out,

 

get into their car
and drive off like maniacs,

 

tires screeching, smoking,
going up on the curb.

 

Is this the car?
Yes, sir.

 

Thank you, sir.
No further questions,
Your Honor.

 

Your witness.

 

All right. Mr., uh, T-T-T-T-T-T-

 

uh... um-

 

uh, T-T-T... uh, Tipton!

 

Now, when you
viewed my clients,

 

how-how-how far away were you?

 

About 50 feet.
Oh, now, do you think
that's close enough...

 

to make an accurate, uh, i-

 

i-i-i-i-i-i-i...

 

identification?

 

Yes.

 

Mr. Tipton, I see
you wear eyeglasses.

 

Sometimes.
Would you care to show those eyeglasses
to the jury, please? Thank you.

 

Thank you. Now, Mr. Tipton,
were you wearing them that day?

 

No.
You see,

 

you were 50 feet away,
you made a positive
eyewitness identification,

 

and-and-and-and-and-and-and-and yet,

 

you were not wearing
your necessary
prescription eyeglasses?

 

They're readin' glasses.

 

Um-

 

Well, um, uh,
Mr., uh, uh, uh, uh-

 

Could you tell the court...

 

what color eyes
the-the-the defendants have?

 

Brown. Hazel green.

 

No more questions.

 

Mr. Gambini, your witness.

 

He's a tough one.
Yes.

 

Mr. Tipton,

 

when you viewed the defendants
walking from their car...

 

into the Sac-O-Suds,
what angle was
your point of view?

 

They was kinda walkin' toward me
when they entered the store.

 

And when they left,
what angle was your point of view?

 

They was kinda
walkin' away from me.

 

So would you say you got
a better shot of them going in
and not so much comin' out?

 

- You could say that.
- I did say that. Would you say that?

 

- Yeah.
- Is it possible the two "youts"-

 

The two what?

 

Wh-Wh-What was that word?
Uh, what word?

 

Two what?
What?

 

- Did you say "youts"?
- Yeah, two "youts."

 

- What is a "yout"?
- Oh. Excuse me, Your Honor.

 

Two youths.

 

Is it possible the two defendants
entered the store,

 

picked 22 specific items
off of the shelves,

 

had the clerk take money,
make change,

 

then leave...
then two different men
drive up in a similar-

 

Don't shake your head.
I'm not done yet.

 

Wait till you hear the whole thing
so you can understand this now.

 

Two different men drive up
in a similar-looking car,

 

go in, shoot the clerk,
rob him and then leave?

 

No. They didn't have enough time.

 

Well, how much time
was they in the store?

 

Five minutes.
Five minutes? Are you sure?

 

Did you look at your watch?
No.

 

Oh, I'm sorry.
You testified earlier that
the boys went into the store...

 

and you had just begun
to make breakfast.

 

You were just ready to eat,
and you heard a gunshot.
That's right. I'm sorry.

 

So obviously,
it takes you five minutes
to make breakfast.

 

That's right.
So you knew that.

 

Uh, do you remember
what you had?
Eggs and grits.

 

Eggs and grits.
I like grits too.

 

How do you cook your grits?

 

You like 'em regular,
creamy or al dente?

 

Just regular, I guess.

 

Regular. Instant grits?

 

No self-respecting Southerner
uses instant grits.

 

I take pride in my grits.

 

So, Mr. Tipton,

 

how could it take you five minutes
to cook your grits...

 

when it takes the entire
grit-eating world 20 minutes?

 

I don't know.
I'm a fast cook, I guess.

 

I'm sorry. I was all the way over here.
I couldn't hear you.

 

Did you say you're a fast cook?
That's it?

 

Are we to believe that
boiling water soaks into a grit...

 

faster in your kitchen than on
any place on the face of the Earth?

 

I don't know.

 

Well, perhaps the laws of physics
cease to exist on your stove.

 

Were these magic grits?

 

I mean, did you buy them
from the same guy
who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?

 

- Objection, Your Honor.
- Objection sustained.

 

- You sure about five minutes?
- Ignore the question.
- I don't know.

 

- Are you sure about that five minutes?
- I don't know.

 

- I think you made your point.
- Are you sure about that five minutes?

 

I may have been mistaken.

 

I got no more use for this guy.

 

You're fired.

 

I want him!

 

Come on, now. Move it.

 

Don't worry.

 

I'll find a way
to bail you out.
No, don't.

 

I'm gonna stay in prison tonight.
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep.
I'm doin' good, huh?

 

Hey, how ya doin'?

 

Hey, Mr. Crane.

 

What are these pictures of?

 

My house and stuff.
House and stuff.

 

And what is this brown stuff
on the windows?

 

Dirt.
Dirt?

 

What is this rusty, dusty,
dirty-looking thing over your window?

 

It's a screen.
A screen!

 

It's a screen.

 

And what are these really big things
right in the middle of your view...

 

from the window of your kitchen
to the Sac-O-Suds?

 

What do we call these big things?

 

Trees?
Trees. That's right. Don't be afraid.
Just shout 'em right out when you know.

 

Now, what are these thousands
of little things that are on trees?

 

Leaves.
Leaves!

 

- And these bushy things
between the trees?

 

Bushes.
Bushes, right.
So, Mr. Crane,

 

you could positively identify
the defendants,

 

for a moment of two seconds,

 

lookin' through
this dirty window,

 

this crud-covered screen,

 

these trees with
all these leaves on them,

 

and, I don't know,
how many bushes?

 

Looks like five.
Uh-uh. Don't forget
this one and this one.

 

Seven bushes.
Seven bushes.
So, what do you think?

 

Is it possible you just saw
two guys in a green convertible...

 

and not necessarily
these two particular guys?

 

- Well, I suppose.
- I'm finished with this guy.

 

- Mrs. Riley, when you saw the defendants,
were you wearing your glasses?
- Yes, I was.

 

Over here, dear.

 

Would you mind puttin'
your glasses on for us, please?

 

Whoa! How long
have you been wearin' glasses?

 

Since I was six.

 

Have they always been that thick?

 

Oh, no.
They got thicker over the years.

 

So as your eyes have gotten
more and more out of whack...

 

as you've gotten older,
how many different levels
of thickness have you gone through?

 

Oh, I don't know.

 

Over 60 years,
maybe 10 times.

 

Maybe you're ready for a thicker set.

 

Oh, no, no.
I-I think they're okay.

 

Maybe we should make sure.
Let's check it out.

 

Now, how far were
the defendants from you...

 

when you saw them
entering the Sac-O-Suds?

 

About a hundred feet.

 

A hundred feet.
Would you hold this please?

 

Thank you.

 

Sorry. Excuse me.
Excuse me.

 

Sorry. Sorry.

 

Okay, this is 50 feet.

 

That's half the distance.

 

How many fingers am I holding up?

 

Let the record show that counsel
is holding up two fingers.

 

Your Honor, please, huh?

 

Oh. Sorry.

 

Now, Mrs. Riley...
and only Mrs. Riley...

 

how many fingers
am I holding up now?

 

Four.

 

What do you think now, dear?

 

I'm thinking of gettin'
thicker glasses.

 

Thank you.

 

- Hello?
- You did good out there today, Yankee.
I like the competition.

 

You like competition too?
Makes things kind of fun, doesn't it?

 

- I'm enjoying myself so far.
- I got a little surprise for you tomorrow.

 

What's that?
You know you have to disclose
all your evidence to me.

 

Well, I just got it myself tonight.

 

I'll disclose it first thing in the morning.
Judge is gonna have to admit it.

 

- Should I be worried?
- I sure would be if I were you.

 

Honey, where did you read
about all that disclosure shit?

 

Let me show you. Why?

 

I'm a special automotive instructor
of forensic studies...

 

for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

 

Uh-huh. How long you been
in that position?

 

Eighteen years.
Your Honor?

 

May we approach the bench, please?
If you wish.

 

I object to this witness
being called at this time.

 

We've been given no prior notice
he'd testify, no discovery
of any tests he's conducted...

 

or reports he's prepared,
and, as the court is aware,

 

the defense is entitled
to advance notice
of any witness who will testify,

 

particularly those who will give
scientific evidence...

 

so that we could properly prepare
for cross-examination...

 

and well as to give the defense
an opportunity to have
the witness' reports reviewed...

 

by a defense expert
who might then be in a position...

 

to contradict the veracity
of his conclusions.

 

Mr. Gambini?
Yes, sir?

 

That is a lucid, intelligent,
well-thought-out objection.

 

Thank you,
Your Honor.
Overruled.

 

Now, Mr. Wilbur,

 

these are photos of tires...

 

belonging to the defendants' car.

 

And these are photos of the tire marks...

 

left by the assailants' car
as it fled the convenience store.

 

Now, are you familiar with these?
Yes, I am.

 

Uh-huh. Could you, uh,
elaborate please, sir?

 

We compared the tire marks
outside the convenience store...

 

with the rear tires
of the defendants' car.

 

They're the same model and size tire.

 

Michelin model XGV,
size 75-R, 14-inch wheel.

 

They're the same size
and model tire.
Anything else, sir?

 

Yes, indeed.
The car leaving
the convenience store...

 

spun its rear tires dramatically...

 

and left a residue of rubber
on the asphalt.

 

Now I took a sample of that rubber
and analyzed it.

 

I also took a sample of the rubber
from the rear tires...

 

of the defendants' Buick
and analyzed that too.

 

What kind of equipment
did you use to find this out?

 

I used a Hewlett-Packard 5710-A
dual-column gas chromatograph...

 

with flame analyzation detectors.

 

Uh-huh.
Is that thing turbocharged?

 

Only on the floor models.

 

Now, Mr. Wilbur,
what was the result
of your analysis?

 

The chemical composition
between the two samples
was found to be identical.

 

Identical!

 

No further questions, Your Honor.

 

Your Honor?
Thank you, Mr. Wilbur.

 

The court'll take
a 60-minute recess for lunch.

 

Your Honor, I respectfully
request a full day's continuance
to go over all this sh... stuff.

 

- Request denied.
- Thanks a lot.

 

And Mr. Gambini?
Yes, sir?

 

I'd like to speak to you
in my chambers.

 

- You're a dead man.
- I'm a dead man?

 

That's right. I just faxed
the clerk of New York and asked him
what he knew about Jerry Gallo.

 

You wanna know
what he replied?

 

Did you say Jerry "Gallo"?
Yes, I did.

 

"Gallo" with a "G"?
That's right.

 

Jerry Gallo's dead.

 

I'm aware of that.

 

Well, I'm not Jerry Gallo.
I'm Jerry "Callo."

 

C-A-L-L-O.

 

All right.

 

All right.

 

Let's get this cleared up
right now.

 

Hello. This is Judge Chamberlain Haller.
Can I speak to the clerk?

 

Okay, I'll be here.

 

He's gonna call back after 3:00.

 

That gives you
a stay of execution,

 

unless by some miracle,
you happen to win this case
in the next 90 minutes.

 

Why don't you go to lunch?

 

Thanks.

 

I got my pictures back.
Oh, good.

 

What'd the judge say?

 

He said he found out
that Gallo's dead.

 

He found out?
Yeah.

 

What'd he say?

 

Lisa, I'm trying to...
I'm trying to think about
the case now, okay? I'm sorry.

 

Can I help?
"Can I help?"

 

No, you can't help.
I wish you could, but you can't.

 

Look how you're lookin' at me.
Look how you're...
What is that look supposed to mean?

 

I'm a piece of shit 'cause I can't
figure out a way for you to help?

 

Okay, you're helping.
We'll use your pictures.

 

Ah! These are gonna be...
You know, I'm sorry.
These are gonna be a help.

 

I should have looked
at these pictures before.

 

I like this. This is, uh-
This is our first hotel room, right?

 

That'll intimidate Trotter.
Here's one of me from behind.

 

And I didn't think I could feel worse
than I did a couple of seconds ago.
Thank you.

 

Ah, here's a good one
of the tire marks.

 

Could we get any farther away?

 

Where'd you shoot this from?
Up in a tree? What's this over here?

 

What-

 

It's dog shit.

 

Dog shit! That's great!
Dog shit! What a clue!

 

Why didn't I think of that?
Here's one of me reading. Terrific.

 

I should have asked you
a long time ago for these pictures.

 

Holy shit. You got it, honey!
You did it!

 

The case-cracker:
me in the shower!

 

I love this! That's it!

 

That is it!
I'm out of here.

 

Lisa!

 

Lisa!

 

I'm sorry.

 

Fuck!

 

I know I'm missing somethin'.
I'm missing somethin'.

 

Did you find anything?

 

Very, very little.

 

Something? Enough to-

 

Is it possible
that two separate cars...

 

could be driving
on Michelin model XGV 75-R14s?

 

Of course.

 

Let me ask you this:
What's the best-selling
single model tire...

 

being sold
in the United States today?

 

The Michelin XGV.

 

- And what's the most popular size?
- 75-R14.

 

The same size
as on the defendants' car.

 

But two faded green
1964 Buick Skylark convertibles?

 

Excuse me.
What I'm asking you...

 

is if the most popular size
of the most popular tire...

 

is on the defendants' car.

 

Well,

 

yeah.

 

Yes.
Um, thank you.

 

No further questions.

 

The witness can stand down.

 

Counsel?

 

Uh, Your Honor,
the prosecution rests.

 

Mr. Gambini, your first witness.

 

Mr. Gambini.

 

I will ask you one more time
and one more time only.

 

- If I ask you again...
- Your Honor.

 

Uh, please, uh, can I have
a five-minute recess?

 

My next witness is not
in the courtroom right now.

 

Three minutes, no more.

 

Sheriff, do me a favor.
Please trace this.

 

It's not my job.
You do your own investigating.

 

Please. I only have three minutes.

 

Lisa. Lisa, please, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, okay?

 

I need you to come back
into the courtroom,
and I need the phone.

 

Honey, come on now.
Stop it. I need the phone.

 

We have to make up.
Listen, let's make up, all right?

 

We gotta go back inside.
Everybody's waiting for us.

 

Come on.
We don't have a lot of time.
Just shut up.

 

Gimme this!
Fuck you!

 

What is it with you with that mouth?
Shut up!

 

Mr. Gambini.

 

Hey, Sheriff, how are ya?
Tell me why.

 

Lisa, I need your help.
I don't give a shit!
Leave me alone!

 

Come on. You'll see.
Stop!

 

Come on. I found it.
I found it. Come on. You'll see.

 

Your Honor, the defense calls
as its first witness
Ms. Mona Lisa Vito.

 

I-I object, Your Honor.
This person is not
on the witness list.

 

This witness is a expert
in the field of automobiles...

 

and is being called to rebut
the testimony of George Wilbur.

 

- Your Honor, would you please
instruct the bailiff-
- Officer!

 

to escort Ms. Vito
to the witness stand please?

 

Hold up your right hand.
Do you swear to tell the truth,

 

the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
Yeah.

 

Ms. Vito,

 

you're supposed to be some
kinda expert in automobiles-
Is that correct?

 

Is that correct?

 

Will you please answer
the counselor's question?

 

No. I hate him.

 

Your Honor, may I have permission
to treat Ms. Vito as a hostile witness?

 

You think I'm hostile now,
wait till you see me tonight.

 

Uh... Do you two know each other?

 

Yeah. She's my fianc챕e.

 

Well, that would certainly
explain the hostility.

 

Your Honor, I object to this witness.
Improper foundation.

 

I'm not aware of
this person's qualifications.

 

I'd like to, uh, voir dire...

 

this witness as to the extent
of her expertise.

 

Granted.
Mr. Trotter, you may proceed.

 

Mm-hmm. Uh, Miss Vito,

 

what's your current profession?

 

I'm an out-of-work hairdresser.

 

Out-of-work hairdresser.
Now, in what way does that qualify you...

 

as an expert in automobiles?
It doesn't.

 

Well, in what way are you qualified?

 

Well, my father was a mechanic.
His father was a mechanic.

 

My mother's father was a mechanic.

 

My three brothers are mechanics.

 

Four uncles on my father's side
are mechanics.

 

Miss Vito,
your family's obviously qualified,

 

but, uh, have you ever
worked as a mechanic?

 

Yeah, in my father's garage, yeah.
As a mechanic?

 

What'd you do in your father's garage?

 

Tune-ups, oil changes,
brake relining, engine rebuilds,

 

rebuilt some trannies,
rear ends...
Okay.

 

Okay. But does being
an ex-mechanic necessarily...

 

qualify you as being
expert on tire marks?

 

No. Thank you.

 

- Good-bye.
- Sit down and stay there
until you're told to leave.

 

Your Honor, Ms. Vito's expertise
is in general automotive knowledge.

 

It is in this area
that her testimony will be applicable.

 

Now if Mr. Trotter wishes
to voir dire the witness...

 

as to the extent of her expertise
in this area,

 

I'm sure he's gonna be
more than satisfied.

 

Okay.

 

All right. All right.

 

Now, uh, Miss Vito,

 

being an expert on general
automotive knowledge,

 

can you tell me...

 

what would the correct ignition timing be
on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet...

 

with a 327 cubic inch engine
and a four-barrel carburetor?

 

That's a bullshit question.
Does that mean that
you can't answer it?

 

It's a bullshit question.
It's impossible to answer.

 

Impossible because
you don't know the answer!
Nobody could answer that question.

 

Your Honor, I move to disqualify
Miss Vito as a expert witness.

 

Can you answer the question?

 

No. It is a trick question.

 

Why is it a trick question?

 

Watch this.

 

'Cause Chevy didn't make
a 327 in '55.

 

The 327 didn't come out till '62.

 

And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air
with the four-barrel carb till '64.

 

However, in 1964,

 

the correct ignition timing would be
four degrees before top dead center.

 

Well,

 

um, she's acceptable, Your Honor.

 

Your Honor,
this is a picture...

 

taken by my fianc챕e
outside the Sac-O-Suds.

 

We agree on this?

 

Yeah.
Thank you.

 

I'd like to submit this picture
of the tire tracks as evidence.

 

Mr. Trotter?

 

No objection, Your Honor.

 

Ms. Vito,
did you take this picture?

 

You know I did.
And what is this picture of?

 

You know what it's of.
Ms. Vito,

 

it has been argued by me,

 

the defense,
that two sets of guys met up...

 

at the Sac-O-Suds
at the same time...

 

driving identical
metallic mint-green...

 

1964 Buick Skylark convertibles.

 

Now, can you tell us,
by what you see in this picture,

 

if the defense's case
holds water?

 

Ms. Vito, please answer the question.

 

Does the defense's case
hold water?

 

No.

 

The defense is wrong.

 

Are you sure?

 

I'm positive.

 

How could you be so sure?

 

Because there is no way
that these tire marks were made...

 

by a '64 Buick Skylark.

 

These marks were made
by a 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

 

Objection, Your Honor.
Can we clarify to the court...

 

whether the witness is stating
opinion or fact?

 

- This is your opinion?
- It's a fact.

 

I find it hard to believe
that this kind of information...

 

could be ascertained
simply by looking at a picture.

 

Would you like me to explain?

 

- I would love to hear this!
- So would I.

 

The car that made these two
equal-length tire marks had positraction.

 

You can't make those marks
without positraction,

 

which was not available
on the '64 Buick Skylark.

 

And why not?
What is positraction?

 

It's a limited slip differential
which distributes power equally...

 

to both the right and left tires.

 

The '64 Skylark
had a regular differential,

 

which anyone
who's been stuck in the mud
in Alabama knows,

 

you step on the gas,
one tire spins,
the other tire does nothin'.

 

That's right.

 

Is that it?
No, there's more.

 

You see when the left tire mark
goes up on the curb...

 

and the right tire mark
stays flat and even?

 

Well, the '64 Skylark
had a solid rear axle.

 

So when the left tire
would go up on the curb,

 

the right tire would tilt out
and ride along its edge.

 

But that didn't happen here.
The tire mark stayed flat and even.

 

This car had
an independent rear suspension.

 

Now, in the '60s, there were only
two other cars made in America...

 

that had positraction
and independent rear suspension...

 

and enough power
to make these marks.

 

One was the Corvette,
which could never be confused
with the Buick Skylark.

 

The other had
the same body length,
height, width, weight,

 

wheelbase and wheel track
as the '64 Skylark, and that was...

 

the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

 

And because both cars
were made by G.M.,

 

were both cars available...

 

in metallic mint-green paint?

 

- They were.
- Thank you, Ms. Vito.

 

No more questions.
Thank you very, very much.

 

You've been a lovely,
lovely witness.

 

Mr. Trotter, would you like
to question Ms. Vito?

 

- Mr. Trotter?

 

Mr. Trotter!

 

Uh... Uh, no. No, Your Honor.
No further questions.

 

In that case, Your Honor, uh,
I'd like to recall George Wilbur.

 

Ms. Vito, you can stand down.

 

You realize
you're still under oath?

 

Yes, sir.

 

Uh, Mr. Wilbur,
how'd you like Ms. Vito's testimony?

 

Very impressive.
She's cute too, huh?

 

Yes, very.

 

- Mr. Gambini.
- Sorry. Sorry, Your Honor.

 

Uh, Mr. Wilbur,
in your expert opinion,

 

would you say that everything
Ms. Vito said on the stand...

 

was a hundred percent accurate?

 

I'd have to say that.

 

And is there
any way in the world...

 

the Buick that the defendants
were driving made those tire tracks?

 

Come on. You could say.
It's okay. They know.

 

Actually... no.

 

No. Thank you.

 

No more questions.

 

Your Honor, I call Sheriff Farley.

 

You may stand down now, Mr. Wilbur.

 

Sheriff, you realize
you're still under oath?
Yes, sir.

 

Uh, Sheriff Farley, um,
what'd you find out?

 

On a hunch,

 

I took it upon myself to check out
if there was any information...

 

on a '63 Pontiac Tempest...

 

stolen or abandoned recently.

 

This computer readout confirms...

 

that two boys who fit
the defendants' description...

 

were arrested two days ago
by Sheriff Tilman
in Jasper County, Georgia...

 

for driving a stolen metallic mint-green
1963 Pontiac Tempest...

 

with a white convertible top,
Michelin model XGV tires,

 

size 75-R14.

 

Is that it?

 

No.

 

A .357 magnum revolver
was found in their possession.

 

- Sheriff Farley,

 

just to refresh the court's memory,

 

what caliber bullet was used
to murder Jimmy Willis?

 

A .357 magnum.

 

The defense rests.

 

Mr. Trotter?

 

Your Honor,

 

in light of Miss Vito's
and Mr. Wilbur's testimony,

 

the state would like to dismiss
all charges.

 

- Yes!

 

All right!

 

- Order in the court.

 

Yeah!

 

Order here!

 

I have to get outta here by 3:00.
Make sure all the bags are in the car.
Okay.

 

Bring it around.
Vinny.

 

I'm sorry to have
ever doubted you at any time.

 

And for this, I apologize.
Under the circumstances-

 

You were great, and, um,
I just want to say thank you.

 

You're welcome.
I hope we can do it
again sometime.

 

- Fine job, Mr. Gambini.
- Thanks.

 

Y'all come back and see us anytime now.
I'll see ya. I'll see ya.

 

Vin.
Bill.

 

You're welcome. You're welcome.
Vin, I-

 

Bill, listen. Take your time.
Pick the right words.
Get back to New York, give me a call.

 

Okay.

 

Vinny. You did a terrific job.
Thanks. Thanks.

 

I want you to know,
you got an open invitation
anytime you want to come down here.

 

Hell, we'll get us a deer next time.
Okay. Thanks a lot.

 

I feel like
if I don't get out of here now,
I might never be able to leave.

 

Mr. Gambini.

 

I have a fax here
from the clerk of New York.

 

I owe you an apology, sir.

 

I'm honored to shake your hand.

 

"Win some, lose some."

 

Your courtroom manner
may be rather unconventional,

 

but I gotta tell ya-
you're one hell of a trial lawyer.

 

Thank you.
And you're one hell of a judge.

 

Ooh, sorry.

 

Bye now.
Bye!

 

What the hell
was that all about back there?

 

I had a friend
send a fax to the judge...

 

confirming the very impressive
legal stature...

 

of Jerry Callo.

 

What friends you got
in the clerk's office?

 

Your friend.
My friend?

 

Judge Malloy?

 

So, what's your problem?
My problem is...

 

I wanted to win my first case
without any help from anybody.

 

Well, I guess
that plan's moot.
Yeah.

 

You know, this could be
a sign of things to come.

 

You win all your cases,
but with somebody else's help, right?

 

You win case after case,
and then afterwards you have
to go up to somebody...

 

and you have to say "Thank you."

 

Oh, my God,
what a fuckin' nightmare!

 

I won my first case.
You know what this means.

 

Yeah, you think
I'm gonna marry you.

 

What, you're not
gonna marry me now?
No way.

 

Can't win a case by yourself.
You're fuckin' useless.

 

I thought we'd get married
this weekend.

 

You don't get it, do you?
That is not romantic.

 

I want a wedding in church
with bridesmaids and flowers.

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
How many times did you say
that spontaneous is romantic?

 

Hey, a burp is spontaneous.
A burp is not romantic.

 

Know what, Lisa?
Who wants to marry
you anyway?

 

You do.

 

' Well, he was a New York attorney
about to take a southern journey '

 

' Into places that he'd never been '

 

' She was a brunette out of Brooklyn
fast-talkin' and good-lookin' '

 

' With a body that was made for sin '

 

' And she wanted him for marriage
'cause the torch that she carried '

 

' Was hotter then the fires of hell '

' Into the buckle of the Bible belt '

 

' She begged and she pleaded

' Was a little tender lovin' care '

 

' But he was wrapped up in his work
and actin' like a jerk '

 

' By pretendin' that she wasn't there '

 

' But her heart was love-stricken
so she never thought of quittin' '

 

' Or givin' up on how she felt '

 

' She had plans to seduce him
If she could, she would loosen '

When you're dealin' with your feelings '

 

' It's tough to keep a level head '

 

' And it's hard to imagine
how the flames of passion '

 

' Will burn till your soul will melt '

 

' They better get their heads together
or they're gonna slap leather '

 

' With their hearts in the Bible Belt '

 

' Oh, Lord ''

 

Amen, brother.
