boards.
It's not a bad idea.
Did you talk to Reese?
No, sorry.
I haven't had a chance.
Would you talk to him, Johnny?
This is important to me.
Yeah, I will.
Do you think you could
drop me off on the way?
Yes, I would mind actually.
Would you drive?
All right.
Hey, John?
Yeah?
What do you think
if we put like
a flat gray on the wall
and then maybe
a Chinese-red lacquer trim
on the molding?
Do you think that'd be good?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do, too.
John? John?
What?
John, did you hear anything
I was saying?
No. I'm practicing.
Come on, Nance.
I gotta practice.
I'm playing tonight.
Yeah, but you've been
practicing all day long.
I know, I'm bad.
What do you mean you're bad?
You're the greatest.
You're a great drummer.
Well, you tell that
to the guys tonight, okay?
I think it's amazing
what you do
with all these things.
You know, what you do
with your little foot there.
I know,
it is amazing how that works.
What you do with these...
What do you call them,
"drumstick" things?
Drumstick things,
that's very good. Yeah.
That's what they're called.
Well, why don't you show me
how to use them?
No, no. This takes years.
Come on.
It takes years to play this.
Show me.
No, I can't.
I gotta get ready to go.
Tell you what.
Just put them in your hands.
Very good, just like that.
Why don't you just sit down
and play? Go nuts, all right?
Have fun.
I gotta get ready.
Nancy, don't ever
do that again!
Excuse me. I'm looking
for a guy named Skipper.
I'm a guy named Skipper.
Damien, take that tablecloth
off there, will you?
It's all bloody.
It looks terrible.
And I told you
I want baby blue spots
in all those fixtures.
Now get to it!
I'm trying.
Yes?
I'm John Bourgignon
from the Musicians Union.
Oh, really? Well, you tell
those people over there to
take me off that unfair list.
It's unfair to me.
I didn't do a damn thing.
I don't know
anything about that.
I'm just a drummer.
Oh, thank God you're here.
Here's the costume.
Take it and put it on.
The dressing room
is right back there.
Damien, be a dear, will you,
and get me a cup of coffee?
I'm only one person.
I'm sorry,
I can't wear this.
Oh, look at the gross
national product.
After inflation, you know,
you gotta remember that.
We gotta go back
to the gold standard.
How you doing?
Hi, how are you?
Yo.
Yeah.
I don't know about this.
I've heard those ladies
can get pretty rough.
Come on, it's a job.
With women, what can happen?
Since most of you
gentlemen are not strangers
to this court,
you know exactly
what kind of behavior
I will tolerate.
Any breach of courtroom
protocol will receive
the maximum penalty.
Am I understood?
Okay, let's get this
over with.
We'll start at this end.
Approach the bench
and state your case.
What are you doing here?
I set fire to my family.
Jesus Christ,
he set fire to his family.
Oh, my God! Oh!
How you doing?
I don't know. I don't think
I'm doing too good.
Right. Listen,
you got any ludes?
What?
Ludes.
Shut up! The guy's a cop.
How about some reefer?
Just relax, will you?
Toot! You got any toot?
Listen, I'm freaking out!
I'm not gonna make it.
Get out of my pocket!
Look, we're all
freaking out, here!
Just relax, will you?
Get some control of yourself.
Think positive,
you'll be all right.
All right.
This guy over here, he just
set fire to his entire family
for God's sakes!
Just don't look at him.
Be quiet! Just relax.
You all right?
Great.
Think positive.
I'm right here if you need me.
Easy.
Where did
our public defender go?
Right here, Your Honor.
Oh, my God!
Think positive.
You don't even
know the case.
I know the law.
Don't you...
Would you like to consult
with your client?
I would like
a change of venue.
Denied. Proceed.
Your Honor, then I request
a summary dismissal.
Can you support that motion?
Yes, indeed, I can.
There are thousands
of criminals roaming
all over the streets
just as
