00:
24:51,373 -- 00:24:54,342

Oh, Andr, can I have

a little more coffee, please?

370

00:
24:54,743 -- 00:24:56,802

Well, maybe it's just as well.

371

00:
24:56,878 -- 00:24:58,402

You don't sound very sympathetic.

372

00:
24:58,480 -- 00:25:02,473

Oh, I am. It's just that when you and I

are together I always feel like

373

00:
25:02,717 -- 00:25:05,015

Victor Scott's the ghost at the feast.

374

00:
25:05,320 -- 00:25:09,120

I'd just like to lay him away long enough

to persuade you to marry me.

375

00:
25:09,191 -- 00:25:11,921

That's funny.

Victor told me the same thing.

376

00:
25:12,227 -- 00:25:14,195

- What?

- To marry you.

377

00:
25:15,530 -- 00:25:16,929

Brilliant man.

378

00:
25:18,333 -- 00:25:19,561

How about it?

379

00:
25:21,069 -- 00:25:22,866

Don't rush me, Ray, please.

380

00:
25:23,271 -- 00:25:25,705

- I have to go.

- What's the hurry?

381

00:
25:25,774 -- 00:25:28,299

I have to see my lawyer.

Want to come along?

382

00:
25:28,643 -- 00:25:29,632

Scott?

383

00:
25:29,878 -- 00:25:30,867

Mmm-hmm.

384

00:
25:31,346 -- 00:25:33,644

It's sort of an important occasion.

385

00:
25:34,182 -- 00:25:35,843

Maybe very important.

386

00:
25:36,885 -- 00:25:39,979

Okay, but I can see the old ghost

rising up again,

387

00:
25:40,055 -- 00:25:42,114

bigger and clammier than ever.

388

00:
25:44,192 -- 00:25:48,185

Now, Mr. Taylor, you testify that

you saw the defendant strike the deceased

389

00:
25:48,263 -- 00:25:50,254

over the head with a lead pipe.

390

00:
25:50,665 -- 00:25:52,462

TAYLOR:
I don't know all about that.

391

00:
25:52,534 -- 00:25:55,503

But I saw that guy there hit the guy

that was killed.

392

00:
25:56,271 -- 00:25:59,365

There was a general free-for-all fight,

wasn't there, Mr. Taylor?

393

00:
25:59,441 -- 00:26:01,068

Sure, everybody was swinging.

394

00:
26:01,142 -- 00:26:04,339

- Did you take any part in it yourself?

- Yeah, I was in it.

395

00:
26:04,412 -- 00:26:07,108

Did you exchange any blows

with this gentleman?

396

00:
26:07,449 -- 00:26:09,246

(STAMMERING) I don't remember.

397

00:
26:09,651 -- 00:26:12,347

Now, isn't it a fact, Mr. Taylor,

that you were knocked unconscious

398

00:
26:12,420 -- 00:26:15,446

by this man

before the fatal blow was struck

399

00:
26:15,523 -- 00:26:17,423

and that you couldn't possibly

have seen the blow

400

00:
26:17,492 -- 00:26:19,426

that caused the death of the victim?

401

00:
26:19,494 -- 00:26:22,361

That little guy? Knock me out?

402

00:
26:22,564 -- 00:26:23,656

(SCOFFS)

403

00:
26:24,933 -- 00:26:25,922

Little?

404

00:
26:27,636 -- 00:26:29,126

He's as big as I am.

405

00:
26:29,471 -- 00:26:30,460

You?

406

00:
26:31,506 -- 00:26:33,531

An old man like you

couldn't knock me out.

407

00:
26:33,608 -- 00:26:35,075

I got an iron jaw.

408

00:
26:35,777 -- 00:26:38,143

Not even if you weren't expecting

the blow?

409

00:
26:38,213 -- 00:26:41,876

Not even if I held up my chin like this

and let him hit it.

410

00:
26:42,317 -- 00:26:44,842

That's all, Mr. Taylor.

Thank you very much.

411

00:
26:51,626 -- 00:26:52,854

(CROWD EX CLAIMS)

412

00:
26:53,295 -- 00:26:54,626

(CROWD CHATTERING)

413

00:
26:56,064 -- 00:26:57,292

(GAVEL POUNDING)

414

00:
27:03,405 -- 00:27:07,000

Your Honor, I move to dismiss the case

in the interest of justice.

415

00:
27:07,542 -- 00:27:08,839

Motion granted.

416

00:
27:26,494 -- 00:27:29,054

Ellen. What are you doing here?

417

00:
27:29,264 -- 00:27:32,256

We came to lend you moral support

and you didn't even notice us.

418

00:
27:32,334 -- 00:27:35,201

Well, you know me in the courtroom,

I never see anybody but the jury.

419

00:
27:35,270 -- 00:27:38,433

- How are you, Ray?

- Fine. That was a great performance, chief.

420

00:
27:38,506 -- 00:27:40,030

Knock-out, wasn't it?

421

00:
27:40,809 -- 00:27:42,242

And what a fee.

422

00:
27:43,078 -- 00:27:44,511

Fistful of nickels.

423

00:
27:45,547 -- 00:27:48,744

I don't know what made me think

I wanted to fool around with civil law.

424

00:
27:48,817 -- 00:27:51,445

- You sound like your old self, Vic.

- Oh, better.

425

00:
27:51,519 -- 00:27:54,454

A DA is just a big wheel

in a lot of machinery.

426

00:
27:54,756 -- 00:27:57,281

This way, you're on your own,

and that's the way I like it.

427

00:
27:57,359 -- 00:28:00,624

Vic, this sounds like a good time

for a double celebration.

428

00:
28:01,363 -- 00:28:03,627

Ray and I have something to tell you.

429

00:
28:04,232 -- 00:28:05,961

We're going to be married.

430

00:
28:09,070 -- 00:28:11,903

Then don't forget, I give the bride away.

431

00:
28:12,841 -- 00:28:15,537

I knew you wouldn't have it

any other way, Vic.

432

00:
28:16,511 -- 00:28:19,241

Well, I think this calls for a drink.

433

00:
28:19,848 -- 00:28:22,316

- Especially for me.

- No, thanks.

434

00:
28:23,418 -- 00:28:26,546

One thing you two don't need right now

is legal advice.

435

00:
28:27,389 -- 00:28:31,223

Besides, I have to look for an office.

No room for clients in this one.

436

00:
28:31,292 -- 00:28:34,227

- But we will see you soon, won't we, Vic?

- Yes, of course.

437

00:
28:34,295 -- 00:28:36,855

Now you two run along

and have a good time.

438

00:
28:37,532 -- 00:28:38,829

So long, chief.

439

00:
28:56,885 -- 00:28:58,182

(PHONE RINGING)

440

00:
29:01,856 -- 00:29:03,517

Mr. Scott's office.

441

00:
29:04,759 -- 00:29:07,421

No, this is not

the Safeway Cleaners and Dryers.

442

00:
29:09,130 -- 00:29:11,291

Some idiot wants his pants pressed.

443

00:
29:11,533 -- 00:29:13,057

Maybe we ought to get a new number.

444

00:
29:13,134 -- 00:29:16,399

No, not so fast.

We may be pressing pants yet.

445

00:
29:18,139 -- 00:29:21,404

You should have stuck with that job

you had with the transit company.

446

00:
29:21,476 -- 00:29:25,037

If I have to count nickels and dimes,

I'd rather do it here.

447

00:
29:25,814 -- 00:29:28,339

That's your prettiest compliment yet.

448

00:
29:31,119 -- 00:29:34,054

Have you bought

that wedding present for me?

449

00:
29:34,389 -- 00:29:37,324

No, you can't afford anything

that expensive.

450

00:
29:37,492 -- 00:29:39,892

Why not? Business is booming.

451

00:
29:40,195 -- 00:29:44,632

Two pickpockets, one peeping Tom

and one grand theft auto.

452

00:
29:45,133 -- 00:29:47,567

- Now, go on, buy it.

- It's crazy. Look,

453

00:
29:47,635 -- 00:29:51,435

you can't make yourself feel any better

by throwing money away.

454

00:
29:52,140 -- 00:29:54,836

You know you should have married her

years ago.

455

00:
29:55,376 -- 00:29:56,434

I was too old.

456

00:
29:56,511 -- 00:29:59,912

You weren't too old seven years ago.

You were just too busy.

457

00:
30:00,014 -- 00:30:03,211

And too scared of losing

your precious independence.

458

00:
30:04,052 -- 00:30:07,419

Hinkel, I'm always wrong about you.

459

00:
30:07,956 -- 00:30:10,322

I thought I'd be glad to have you back.
