No, I was not!
Everyone knows you were living with Quill.
That's not true. Barney Quill was...
Was what?
Barney Quill was what, Miss Pilant?
Barney Quill was my father.
No more questions.
That's all.
The witness may step down.
We will recess for 15 minutes, after which
we will hear the closing arguments.
If possible, I would like to charge the jury
before nightfall.
Think they're gonna stay out all night?
Can't somebody say something?
What do you want me to say,
Maida, darling?
Tell me we're gonna win.
promissory note from the lieutenant.
I hope we can borrow some money on it.
I need a new typewriter.
Half the time, the "P" and the "F"
don't strike on mine.
"Party of the first part" sometimes
comes out "arty o the irst art."
Doesn't make sense. It's embarrassing.
"Arty o the irst art"?
I kind of like that.
It has a ring to it.
Twelve people go off into a room.
Twelve different minds.
Twelve different hearts.
Twelve different walks of life.
Twelve sets of eyes,
ears, shapes and sizes.
These twelve people are asked to judge
another human being...
...as different from them
as they are from each other.
In their judgement, they must become
of one mind, unanimous.
It's one of the miracles of man's
disorganised soul that they can do it.
In most instances, do it right well.
God bless juries.
I don't know what I'd do
if I were on that jury.
I really don't know.
Do you?
I loved that, Pauly.
I loved that "humble country lawyer" bit.
You had Mr. Dancer dancing.
I'm afraid he got in the last dance.
That's the best summary I've ever heard.
I liked yours much better, Pauly.
Do you have to play that?
Can't you play Danny Boy
or Sweet Isle of Innisfree?
Paul Biegler's office.
Yes, sir. Right away.
They're ready.
Hey, sweetie!
Go on.
- The jury's coming in.
- Yeah, I heard.
You can tell my loving husband
I'll be in the car.
- You're sure he's gonna come out?
- Sure.
He's lucky.
Some people have all the luck.
You can tell him I'm waiting
to get kicked to kingdom come.
Hey, sweetie.
I have a souvenir for you.
You'd better keep that.
You might need it again sometime.
You never know.
No, you don't, do you?
I like you, Pauly.
I warn all those present
not to interrupt the taking of the verdict.
I will stop the proceedings
and clear the courtroom...
...if there is any demonstration.
Proceed, Mr. Cray.
Members of the jury, have you a verdict?
- If so, who will speak for you?
- We have. I'm the foreman.
The defendant will rise.
What is your verdict?
We find the defendant not guilty,
by reason of insanity.
Did Maida give you that promissory note?
Right here,
ready to be signed by our happy client.
I used to think the world looked better
through a glass of whiskey.
It doesn't.
I think I'll keep it this way.
It looks nice.
I got one good thing out of this case:
A new law partner.
If it's all right with him.
He'd be mighty proud to have his name
on a shingle with yours.
I guess you're looking for Lt. Manion,
aren't you?
He gave me this note for you.
Felt real sorry for Mrs. Manion.
She was crying.
Left a mess, didn't they?
We'd better get busy here.
"Dear Mr. Biegler:
"So sorry, but I had to leave suddenly.
"I was seized by an irresistible impulse.
"Frederick Manion."
How in the world
are we gonna face Maida?
Gin.
I knew there was something wrong
with that guy.
I never saw a gin-drinker yet
you could trust.
Partner, what do you say
we go and see our first client?
Who might that be?
Mary Pilant. We're going to administer
Barney Quill's estate.
Now, that's what I call
poetic justice for everybody.
Yeah.
