[CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO]

CLERK: The next case...

and I used to hear that stuff every day.

You're so easy. Heh, heh.

Now I'd like to move things along here.

The old Chinese proverb. Ha, ha, ha.

If you were me, would you do it?

So, what are you doing? What's going on?

Arthur, damn you.

is that that girl has been beaten and raped.

[PEOPLE LAUGHING]

Carries around a battery-operated razor.

But the fact remains, I am innocent.

BATES: Mr. Kirkland, as you undoubtedly know,

It's the Super Bowl, and I'm the quarterback.

On the basis...

No problems. No problems.

The consequences are that I'll be disbarred, Gail.

As long as we keep a little friction between us, there's...

everybody's gonna be screaming political deal.

ARTHUR: Oh, God.

You’re UNREGISTERED! THIS WHOLE COURT IS UNREGISTERED!

It does prove it, doesn't it? Yes, you're innocent.

But they're not proof Fleming raped Leah Shepard.

ladies and gentleman of the jury,

Are you sure you didn't say, Go? I'm sure.

who happens to be a suicidal maniac.

What are you talking about, Jay? I got Earl Soames.

We wanna win regardless of the truth.

protecting guilty people and getting them off and they're not affected by it.

the prosecution

who should be taken out and squashed like a cockroach.

That's terrific, Wenke.

ARTHUR: Bowers. Frank Bowers.

That goes a little bit beyond an angry boyfriend.

Son of a bitch. Day in, day out, the same goddamn thing.

Heh, heh, heh. That was, God.

Eighteen months. Eighteen months?

other than the testimony of the victim herself.

What am I supposed to do?

That's all I want to do is just sit here.

I'm a lawyer because of him.

There's a guy. Not armed.

[SIRENS WAILING]

So, what are you doing here?

Now, if you check your records, you'll see it's there someplace.

You know? With wings. No, no.

I mean, you're going after guys like Jay or whoever

That's understandable, sir. It's just...

So you want me to throw the Fleming thing out the window, is that it?

I don't give a shit.

you would be the perfect lawyer to handle my defense.

A little more stuffing, if you don't mind.

Packer. Packer.

And take off that wig.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Larry, that's privileged information.

Well, Royce figures that we can be a couple.

GUARD 2: Hey, Kirkland. Watch your hands.

Maybe I ought to start throwing out banana peels.

WOMAN: Let's reach for the sky.

it was time to come down on the nigga.

So I reviewed it.

How high up do you go?

Turkey, I know. What is this? What is it?

Gibson, get the hell away... Get out of there.

I'd like to call your attention to some corrections in that report.

I want everything out in the open. I'm very pleased, Arthur.

I can't believe this. I tell you, I just don't believe it.

Come on, Arthur. He told the truth.

He forgot his case.

By telling the police, you didn't prevent a crime.

At 9:41 he will be guilty.

You did what you could, Mr. Kirkland, but nothing makes sense anymore.

I heard you say, Go.

Then do it. Defend Fleming.

and I can't get him out.

Pretty, isn't it? [GASPS]

I got him off on murder.

Told you I had good instincts.

He goes to law school. I'm a lawyer.

All I need is a yes or a no on my motion.

I would, Arthur, because it's my job, you know?

COP 1: Clear the way. COP 2: Move out of the way.

Are you crazy? What are you talking to me about?

No. That's the answer to your question.

I have character references, testimonials

[ARTHUR GROWLS AND GAIL LAUGHING]

I hope you got this under control. I don't want anything crazy.

Got a serving spoon?

Sex photos, sex crime. Is he guilty? Is he?

Am I going to jail? I can't go.

I can't appeal it! He's dead!

What makes you the great voice of authority?

Where the hell did he get the plates?

I can understand your strict enforcement of the statute.

His people just called the office,

I mean, would you know how to do that?

Well, sometimes the boys get bored.

[PRISONERS HOOTING]

forcing cherry bombs in their mouths.

Just as I hit the treetops, I discovered the meaning of life.

Did you know that there's a guy

I got a case coming up here, Art.

Ha, ha, ha. Do you like it? It came to me during the night.

Sure. Besides, it gets... It gets lonesome up there.

He's been bringing them up all morning.

I have never heard of diabetes causing foul language.

Ugh, I gotta tell you, judge, you know, I'm not...

Put your hand out.

my name is Arthur Kirkland, and I am the defense counsel

RAYFORD: Come on. Get... Get...

regardless of who's guilty or innocent.

we are not conducting some kind of witch hunt.

That's why this thing makes no sense to me.
