When it's over,

if you need me for anything...

if I can do anything...

I'll be waiting.

There won't be any waiting.

But they believe you, Larry.

Some of them.

They wouldn't be out this long.

Maybe they like the free meal.

Do not say that.

Or else they're waiting for morning.

So everyone will be

on hand for the show.

Larry, if you can convince me...

The jury doesn't matter.

Nor the judge.

Nor the people in the orchestra seats.

Or even you, Skipper.

I listened to my story.

I brought in my own verdict.

You will please rise.
