Suing the Devil Page #7
to kill, and destroy.
You can't put a price
on the damage he's done,
but humans are responsible
for their own souls.
- Is there a hell?
- Yes indeed.
And everyday people have the opportunity
to go to either heaven or hell.
Thank you.
Alright guys, this thing keeps going back
like an Olympic ping pong match.
Tony, who's winning?
It's really hard to say,
it really is,
but it was brilliant on his part bringing all
these distinguished men up to the stand.
I would say O'Brien
is winning at this point,
and seems to be able to carry it
all the way through.
Me too! The jury is going
with O'Brien all the way!
- I'm a little concerned, sir.
- A little?
Gentlemen, we are losing this case. I think
we need a serious change of counsel...
Who do you think
you're talking to?
You think you're it, don't you? Because
you went to Stanford law school, huh?
And you work at a top firm?
Yeah, you don't know jack, boy.
And that goes for you too!
Listen, you better win this case,
I'm telling you.
I'm going to make my priority
to come after you night and day
in this world and in hell, you got it?
Now get out of here! Get out!
Don't you ever get tired
of being the bully?
You know, I really don't understand
you and your wife, I mean,
you're either super crazy or super stupid
to want to go up against me.
I have no fear of you anymore.
Yeah, you may be more powerful
on this earth than me,
but Jesus is infinitely
more powerful than you.
You're banging the
Bible again, huh?
Yeah, yeah. Well, maybe you should
ask God to cure Gwen's brain cancer then.
- What?
- Oh!
Didn't she tell you?
Oh yeah.
Oh, that's a shame.
No, she's got brain cancer.
She's only got 5 months to live.
- You're lying.
- Oh yeah. I'm lying.
I know, well, I'm Satan, I mean,
Satan always lies, don't he?
I tell you what, why don't you
ask her yourself, huh?
Everyone needs compassion,
love that's never failing.
- Gwen, I've got to ask you something.
- What?
And you've got to be
honest with me, alright?
Are you sick, honey?
Are you dying of cancer?
You just had so much
on your plate.
You know what, I want you
to do this trial, okay?
I want you to win it!
Do you hear me?
I want you to win it!
I love you.
Oh babe,
I love you so much.
All rise!
You may be seated.
Counsel, do you have
something to say?
Your honor, we ask the court
to give us a continuance
and suspend this trial
immediately!
Order!
Counsel, on what grounds?
Your honor, this man
is not Satan.
Order!
Counsel, do you realize
what you're saying?
The fact that he has admitted
he's Satan is unequivocal.
Your honor, according to
international rules section 666,
the trial can't continue if there's
any question of true identity.
Section 666, I have
never heard of it.
It's in your rule book,
page 341.
666, there it is.
Counsel for the plaintiff,
any comment?
Your honor, it has been
established that he is Satan.
No, it has not been
established, your honor.
Especially in light of new
revelations about our client.
Oh! Let's break!
Counsel, I want to see all of you
in my chambers now.
This is preposterous!
I could have you
disbarred for this!
Your honor, we've just been alerted to the fact
that our client is not who he says he is.
- He's not Satan!
- What are you saying?
He's insane, we represented him
to the best of our ability
and he fooled us.
Oh, he fooled you,
he fooled you!
Aren't you supposed to be
the top law firm in the world?
- Was he fooling about paying as well?
- Your honor, he is not insane.
I'll be the judge of that,
thank you.
We ask that the entire case
be dismissed on lack of person.
- And under international rule 393...
- Oh, don't you tell me the rules!
This case will continue, but I will
allow proof of identity to be granted.
You have to prove that
that man in there is really Satan.
- Your honor, that just not...
- Oh, stop it,
- and get back into court all of you!
- Thank you, your honor.
Good luck with that.
For what it's worth,
you stood up for
what you believe in
and you took all
that public humiliation.
I really, really respect that.
Thanks, I just...
I wish there was someway
to prove that this guy is the devil.
I know.
You okay?
- I'm good.
- Thank you.
- How are you?
- I'm okay, how are you?
I'm good.
this guy, you know?
He's just too smart.
You're dealing with a force
that's beyond your comprehension.
Luke, God is still in control.
Yeah, it just feels kind of...
Say that again.
God is in control, Luke.
God is in control!
- Remember that.
- I love you.
I love you.
Alright.
Your honor, plaintiffs would like
to call Satan back to the witness stand.
Hi.
Hi.
Why did you tell the court
and this jury that you were Satan?
Actually, if my memory
serves me correctly,
I don't think I ever said I was Satan.
You're the one who said it
as if you were Satan.
Yeah, well, somebody's got to defend him,
may as well have been me, right?
Order!
What do you do for a living?
I sell used cars,
and new ones, yeah.
Come see me, I'll give you
a special rate.
Really?
Anyone else too,
special rate.
How about that, folks?
That's really cute.
This is all just one big joke
for you, isn't it?
Well, come on, we all had
a few laughs, right? I mean,
I had my 15 minutes,
you had yours,
we both went home happy
and entertained, right?
I mean, that's why you sued
Satan in the first place, right?
No.
You're a rational person,
are you not?
Yes. A re you?
You wouldn't do anything out of the
ordinary in this courtroom, would you?
There's nothing ordinary
in this courtroom.
Order!
- Sorry, your honor.
- What I mean is...
now that you've revealed that
you're really a used car salesmen,
Right, right.
You wouldn't wig out or
anything crazy, would you?
- I don't think so.
- No, you wouldn't do anything strange
- in front of this jury, would you?
- Certainly not, no.
No, after all, now you claim
that you're not Satan.
Alright, listen. We had
our fun, right? Now...
- Now you just hold on a minute, pal.
- Whoa, don't...
- What is... No, no, no.
- Oh, I got your attention now, haven't I?
- Well, I've got something special in here for you.
- I'm sure you do.
- Oh, no.
Submit yourselves
then to God,
resist the devil and
he will flee from you.
Come near to God and
He will come near to you.
Wash your hands,
you sinners,
and purify your hearts,
Have you finished?
Oh, no. No.
And by the power and the truth
of these scriptures,
and in the name of Jesus Christ,
get thee behind me, Satan!
I'm sorry?
I said,
get thee behind me, Satan!
In the name of Jesus Christ!
Excuse me, Satan, get back
into the witness stand.
- Sorry.
- That was unusual.
I was... I'm just nauseated,
your honor.
Do you do that all the time?
I bet you get a lot
