Nice performance,

everybody.

Get your warmers

on please, dancers.

WOMAN:

And after you get your things changed,

I want everybody

to meet in the bus

in about five minutes.

Now, don't scatter.

I know you all want

to talk to your parents.

Tamara, let me have

the mike, will you?

Now?

Yeah. See you.

Go get

your costumes.

Thank you.

Give me the

remote control.

I need to fasten

some stuff up.

Don't worry, everybody.

We'll put it all together.

It'll be all right.

Huh? Tomorrow.

Hiya, kiddo.

How you doing?

How's the new school?

It's all right.

Pretty awful, huh?

It's a real shame

you had to miss all the fun.

What are you doing here?

I'm here with Chris.

She's working downstairs

with Francesco.

Ah.

I'm, uh...

I'm doing your basic sweetening

the tracks--

dub over sound

onto the tapes.

Putting

the mike on me,

and getting breathing

and heart sounds.

Oh, my heavens.

I think I have terminal gas.

Hey, you don't have to miss it.

You can be a part of it.

I'll put you on.

Come on.

I'll tape you breathing.

Oh, Kath, come on.

Come on.

Where's Kathy?

Oh, she just got bored.

She's up exploring

the place.

Just check everything,

because we're almost ready.

Pull your head back,

just for a second.

She looks great now.

Come on, let's get up

and do the twirling.

Come on.

What a wonderful coincidence

having you here.

Yeah, put your...

I'm not going

to use this mike.

I have got...

a sole, number one

mike for you.

Specially designed...

with you in mind, my dear.

Tack it on

right there. ( heart beating )

Hey.

( breaths echoing )

Can you hear it?

It's your heart.

It's your breathing.

( breaths echoing )

Huh?

Wait a minute.

( breaths echoing )

( whirring )

Can you hear it?

( inhales ):

Come on, breathe.

Terrific.

Isn't it incredible?

It just fills the whole

hall, doesn't it?

( heartbeat quickens )

Breathe again.

( breaths echoing )

That's it.

Wonderful. Again.

( breaths echoing )

( heart beating )

( breaths echoing )

It's the sound of...

the sound of our bodies

mixed together.

I mean, really mixing together.

Hey...

( breaths echoing )

( heart beating )

Do you really believe

I raped your sister?

( heart beating )

( breaths echoing )

Kathy...

( running footsteps )

( panting )

STUART:

Kathy?

( whimpering )

Kathy?

Kathy?

Kathy?

( screams )

( screams )

( tapping )

( gasping )

FRANCESCO:

Bend down to the left.

That's nice.

Bend to the left.

Beautiful.

You're beautiful.

( screams )

( screaming )

( screaming hysterically )

( shrieking )

FRANCESCO:

Tighter.

Give it to me right

here in the lens.

( shutter clicking )

Give me everything,

right in the lens.

Strut your stuff.

( clattering )

Kathy!

What happened?

Kathy, are you all right?

What happened?

Nothing, I just have

to go to the bathroom.

Who...?

Who did this to you?!

Mr. Stuart.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God!

( growling )

Get the doctor!

Mr. Stuart.

How splendid you must feel!

It went so well.

Weren't you

pleased?

Huh?

I've invited some board

members for tomorrow.

Uh...

I think it will help.

Getting you back

on the faculty.

Oh, yes. Yeah.

Gordon?

Huh?

You should be

very proud.

It's going to be

a knockout.

CHILDREN:

Bye, Mr. Stuart!

( keys jingling )

( gunshot )

( rifle clicking empty )

( rifle clicking empty )

( siren blares in distance )

( sirens blaring )

( handcuffs clicking )

CARLA BONDI:

I did not leave the district attorney's office

to extenuate

the crime of murder.

I'll tell you what Clarence

Darrow wrote some time ago.

"Crime is to be expected,

since humans are never perfect,

"but the failure of justice

may be more damaging to society

than crime itself."

Then where is law and order?

I say your verdict to acquit

Chris McCormick

is law and order...

...and justice.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,

for your attention.

FOREMAN:

We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty as charged.
