Judge, we're ready to reconvene.
- I'll be right there.
Congratulations, Counsel.
Thank you very much.
What did I do?
Come here, come here.
Judge Fleming.
I was right. He was arrested
this morning and booked.
- We know that.
- You'll never guess what for.
- Take a guess.
- What for?
Rape.
Fleming was booked on a rape.
- I can't stand it.
- Isn't that the best?
- Rape!
- I don't believe it.
That's not the best.
Oh, no. I'm gonna tell you
the punchline.
You're gonna love this.
His people just called.
Mr Fleming would like you
to represent him.
Me?
Me?
Why me?
I hate the son of a bitch.
I'm going crazy!
Mr Kirkland,
as you undoubtedly know, -
- Judge Fleming has been accused,
falsely I might add, -
- of sexually assaulting a young lady.
He wants you to represent him.
Excuse me.
- What, may I ask, is so funny?
- I just think it's ...
It's just crazy.
I don't think it's so crazy.
Two lawyers up in the third-floor
men's room think differently.
Right now one ofthem is laughing
so hard he's choking in the sink.
I'm aware that I'm not
particularly well liked.
But the fact is that I'm innocent
and I will have that proven in court.
Mr Bates and I feel,
in this particular situation, -
- you would be perfect
to handle my defence.
What is this? The two of you got
together and came up with that one.
That's a beauty.
The real question is: Why?
Why me, fellas?
We need you for political reasons.
Political reasons? What kind?
This case will create
a lot of media coverage.
The animosity between you and the judge
is well known. But we can use that.
Why else defend a man
you dislike so much -
- unless he was truly innocent?
And he is, you know.
Remarkable. Remarkable.
But personally
I don't give a shit.
You smug son of a bitch!
Henry! Henry!
I've never committed a crime
in my life.
Judge, ifyou're innocent,
truly innocent, -
- you don't need me.
Get yourself another lawyer.
What are you laughing at?
I really hate
to tell you this, but -
- you remind me a little
of my ex-husband.
In what way?
Because, during sex,
he would always say:
"Go! Go!"
"Go"?
I don't say "go".
- I heard you say "go".
- No, I don't say "go".
"Go" is dumb.
I say "God".
- Are you sure?
- I'm sure.
I could have sworn
I heard a couple of go's.
That was "God".
I said "Ooooh ..."
It sounded like "go".
And then I said "God".
"Ooooh, God".
Oh, God ...
Yeah? Who is it?
Arthur, it's Jay!
- Jay?
- What the hell ... ?
It's my partner.
Jay. Jay?
All right, all right.
What do you say?
Hell of a night tonight.
- It's two o'clock in the morning.
- I know. The bars just closed.
So, what are you doing here?
- I came to ask you a question.
- Oh, yeah? What?
- I'm a good lawyer, right?
- Right.
- I got Earl Soames off, right?
- What are you talking about?
I got Earl Soames ...
- Yeah, you got him off.
- I didn'tjust get him off.
I got him off on murder.
And we all know Mr Soames did it.
Right, he did it.
He was guilty. We all know that.
Brilliant defence. Brilliant.
- Brilliant defence, Arthur.
- Right.
Brilliant. Brilliant!
Brilliant!
I got him off on a technicality.
I know, Jay. Right. Good.
- Mr Soames did it again.
- What do you mean?
At twelve o'clock tonight
he killed two kids.
Oh, Jesus.
He killed kids, you see.
Oh, Jay ...
- I gotta take a piss.
- Jay ...
My partner.
- There's women in here.
- Hello.
Arthur, what's going on?
Come on, it won't hurt you. Just duck.
You've got about three feet.
For Christ's sake, get in.
How are you feeling? Ready to go?
I thought you flew planes.
With wings.
I've been flying helicopters
ever since Korea. Get in.
Button up. Close the door.
I gotta tell you, Judge.
I'm not too happy about this.
Just relax, Arthur.
Could we maybe just go out a bit?
Kind ofjust go and hover?
We'll do any goddamn thing you want.
Now hold on to your cojones.
This is what it's all about!
Pretty, isn't it?
I don't want
