Building a case is like building a house. 554 00:50:53,841 --> 00:50:56,427 Each piece of evidence is a building block. 555 00:50:56,552 --> 00:50:58,930 He wants to make a brick bunker of a building. 556 00:50:59,055 --> 00:51:03,976 He wants to use serious, solid-looking bricks, like these, right? 557 00:51:04,101 --> 00:51:06,687 - Right. - Let me show you something. 558 00:51:11,234 --> 00:51:15,780 He's gonna show you the bricks. He'll show you they got straight sides. 559 00:51:15,905 --> 00:51:18,241 He'll show you how they got the right shape. 560 00:51:18,366 --> 00:51:21,285 He'll show them to you in a very special way 561 00:51:21,410 --> 00:51:24,580 so that they appear to have everything a brick should have. 562 00:51:24,705 --> 00:51:27,166 But there's one thing he's not gonna show you. 563 00:51:27,291 --> 00:51:31,671 When you look at the bricks at the right angle, they're as thin as this playing card. 564 00:51:31,796 --> 00:51:35,841 His whole case is an illusion, a magic trick. 565 00:51:35,967 --> 00:51:39,595 It has to be an illusion, cos you're innocent. 566 00:51:41,097 --> 00:51:47,770 Nobody, I mean nobody, pulls the wool over the eyes of a Gambini. Especially this one. 567 00:51:48,813 --> 00:51:52,358 Give me the chance. One chance. 568 00:51:52,483 --> 00:51:54,527 Let me question the first witness. 569 00:51:54,652 --> 00:51:59,740 if, after that point, you don't think that I'm the best man for the job, fire me then and there. 570 00:51:59,866 --> 00:52:02,326 I'll leave quietly. No grudges. 571 00:52:02,535 --> 00:52:04,912 All I ask is for that one chance. 572 00:52:06,706 --> 00:52:09,584 I think you should give it to me. 573 00:52:11,711 --> 00:52:16,340 You should give it to him? What was he before he was a lawyer? A fuckin' comedian? 574 00:52:16,465 --> 00:52:19,594 If he doesn't ask the right questions, your lawyer will. 575 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,929 No, he can still fuck things up. 576 00:52:22,054 --> 00:52:26,142 Cross-examination is about knowing what to say and what not to say. 577 00:52:26,267 --> 00:52:30,605 Let's say he asks all the possible questions, and the witness has all the answers. 578 00:52:30,730 --> 00:52:33,816 He ends up proving the prosecution's case. 579 00:52:35,276 --> 00:52:37,570 How did he ever talk you into it? 580 00:52:41,991 --> 00:52:46,037 At my cousin Ruthie's wedding, the groom's brother was that guy Ali Kazam. 581 00:52:46,162 --> 00:52:50,041 - You know who I'm talkin' about? - The magician with the ponytail? 582 00:52:50,166 --> 00:52:54,795 Right. He did his act, and every time he made something disappear, Vinny jumped on him. 583 00:52:54,921 --> 00:52:58,507 He nailed him. It was like "It's in his pocket" or "He's palming it." 584 00:52:58,633 --> 00:53:00,718 Or "There's a mirror under the table." 585 00:53:00,927 --> 00:53:05,223 He was like "Wait. It's joined in the middle and there's a spring around it." 586 00:53:05,348 --> 00:53:08,017 "It pops it open when it's inside the tube." 587 00:53:08,142 --> 00:53:11,395 It was like Ali Kazam's worst nightmare. 588 00:53:12,146 --> 00:53:14,190 But he was just being Vinny. 589 00:53:14,315 --> 00:53:17,527 He was just being the quintessential Gambini. 590 00:53:28,079 --> 00:53:30,998 There goes the quintessential Norton. 591 00:53:34,794 --> 00:53:36,837 Lookee here, JT. 592 00:53:44,387 --> 00:53:47,890 Hey, hey, little Yankee boy.

Let me see it. 595 00:54:06,284 --> 00:54:10,454 How do I know that's not a bunch of ones with a 20 wrapped around it? 596 00:54:11,664 --> 00:54:15,251 - It's 200 bucks. - Fan it out. Show it to me. 597 00:54:20,506 --> 00:54:22,341 Yeah, right. 598 00:55:45,841 --> 00:55:49,053 Does that freight train come through at 5am every morning? 599 00:55:49,178 --> 00:55:51,514 No, sir. It's very unusual. 600 00:55:53,099 --> 00:55:54,851 OK. 601 00:55:55,226 --> 00:55:58,479 I was making a lot of money, winning most of my cases. 602 00:55:58,604 --> 00:56:00,106 Thank you, Shirley. 603 00:56:00,314 --> 00:56:02,441 But my clients were guilty as hell. 604 00:56:02,567 --> 00:56:06,988 Finally, after getting this fella off some serious charges for the fourth time, 605 00:56:07,113 --> 00:56:09,532 I tell you the truth, my conscience got to me. 606 00:56:09,657 --> 00:56:12,827 I'd be serving justice more by putting the guilty in jail. 607 00:56:12,952 --> 00:56:17,123 That's what I've been doing and I'm a happier man for it. 608 00:56:17,248 --> 00:56:21,377 - How about you? - Well, I got a bullshit traffic ticket. 609 00:56:21,794 --> 00:56:24,130 In court, I got the cop on the stand 610 00:56:24,255 --> 00:56:27,258 and argued with him until he admitted he was wrong. 611 00:56:27,383 --> 00:56:34,473 And the judge, this Judge Malloy, all the while, he's laughing and smiling, 612 00:56:35,474 --> 00:56:39,187 and then, afterwards, he asked me to go to lunch with him. 613 00:56:39,312 --> 00:56:42,690 Then he says to me "You know what? You'd be a good litigator." 614 00:56:42,815 --> 00:56:47,862 I don't know what the hell he was talking about. I don't know what a litigator is. 615 00:56:47,987 --> 00:56:52,116 I never thought of becoming a lawyer. But Judge Malloy was from Brooklyn, too. 616 00:56:52,241 --> 00:56:55,786 I mean, he did it. So all of a sudden it seemed possible. 617 00:56:56,579 --> 00:56:58,623 So I went to law school. 618 00:56:58,748 --> 00:57:04,337 Then from time to time, he would come by, see how I was doin', if I needed anything. 619 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,924 He was a nice man. 620 00:57:08,049 --> 00:57:11,510 I mean, to go out of his way like that for me, you know? 621 00:57:12,261 --> 00:57:17,433 He wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, but he became a musician or something. 622 00:57:17,558 --> 00:57:20,645 I remember when I graduated, he was so proud of me. 623 00:57:20,811 --> 00:57:23,397 That's quite a story. 624 00:57:23,523 --> 00:57:25,107 Yeah. 625 00:57:25,233 --> 00:57:28,569 - We got some case ahead of us here, huh? - Oh, yeah. 626 00:57:29,028 --> 00:57:32,740 - How do you feel about it? - Well, l... 627 00:57:32,865 --> 00:57:35,201 I'd like to have a murder weapon. 628 00:57:35,326 --> 00:57:38,663 But, other than that, I feel pretty good. 629 00:57:38,788 --> 00:57:40,706 - You do? - Oh, yeah. 630 00:57:42,625 --> 00:57:44,627 What you doin' this afternoon? 631 00:57:45,962 --> 00:57:48,631 - You're goin' hunting? - That's right. 632 00:57:48,714 --> 00:57:52,134 Why are you goin' hunting? Shouldn't you be preparing for court? 633 00:57:52,260 --> 00:57:56,764 I was thinkin' last night "if only I knew what he knows." You know? 634 00:57:56,889 --> 00:57:59,433 If he'd let me look at his files. Oh, boy. 635 00:58:00,142 --> 00:58:04,897 I don't get it. What does getting to Trotter's files have to do with hunting? 636 00:58:05,022 --> 00:58:09,610 Well, you know. Two guys out in the woods, guns, on the hunt. 637 00:58:09,735 --> 00:58:13,197 It's a bonding thing, you know. Show him I'm one of the boys. 638 00:58:13,322 --> 00:58:17,577 He won't let me see his files, but maybe he'll relax enough to drop his guard 639 00:58:17,702 --> 00:58:20,913 so that I can finesse a little information out of him. 640 00:58:22,456 --> 00:58:25,334 - What am I gonna wear? - What are you gonna hunt? 641 00:58:25,459 --> 00:58:29,171 I don't know. He's got a lot of stuffed heads in his office. 642 00:58:29,589 --> 00:58:32,717 Heads? What kind of heads? 643 00:58:32,842 --> 00:58:35,511 I don't know.

I could go deer hunting. 646 00:58:44,270 --> 00:58:49,650 A sweet, innocent, harmless, leaf-eating, doe-eyed little deer. 647 00:58:49,775 --> 00:58:53,404 Hey, Lisa. I'm not gonna go out there just to wimp out, you know? 648 00:58:53,529 --> 00:58:57,909 I mean, the guy'll lose respect for me.

You're entitled.
