JUDGE:
Is your name Luke Glanton?

LUKE:
Yes.

JUDGE:
Mr. Glanton,

a complaint has been filed.

It alleges assault

in the second degree,

which is a felony

in the state of New York.

When such a complaint is filed,

you have the right to an

adjournment to obtain a lawyer.

Counselor, do you wish to waive

any further reading

of the arraignment?

We would, Your Honor,

and on behalf of my client,

I'd enter a Not Guilty plea.

JUDGE:
Given the history that I

am aware of, of this defendant,

and, as well, the allegations,

I'm going to set bail

in the amount of $2,500.

Bail may be posted either in

cash or by bail bondsman.

In the meantime, I will issue the

temporary order of protection

requiring this defendant to

refrain from violent, offensive,

assaultive or harassing conduct

and to remain away

from the complainant

until further ordered...

There's your money.

Thanks for bailing me out.

I wanna do two in one day.

I wanna do

the Trustco on Brandywine.

And when all those f***ing

pigs are coming after me,

I wanna split out the back,

I wanna go down to Rotterdam

and I wanna do

that First National.

You know something, Luke?

If you ride like lightning,

you're gonna

crash like thunder.

And I'm not gonna let you

bring us both down.

F*** that. Don't be

such a f***ing p*ssy.

No, man. It's over.

Can't do it. Won't do it.

You made your f***ing choice.

F*** you.

Hey, you know what?

If you go out tonight...
