And Justice for All (1979) Soundboard Edit

A deal? A deal? No, sir.

Agee did not have to go to jail.

Ah, wait. It gets better.

Ah!

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

All right. Okay

And a trial date is set

And Bricker wants to know if your client will settle for $60,000.

And he refused to leave the premises

And he throws it out.

And he was too busy.

And justice is, as any reasonable person would tell you,

And look what happened. You'll be fine

And our evidence came in three days late

And that the innocent are freed.

And that's order.

And the knife is planted in Jeff's cell.

And then he knocks my wife into a wall...

And to the republic for which it stands.

And within 15 days, you should be put on probation

Are we gonna get together this weekend, huh?

Are you a good lawyer? Heh, heh, heh.

Arthur, listen to me. It's going to make it thick.

Arthur, what's going on?

Arthur, you're talking crazy now. You don't know he's guilty.

ARTHUR: I, uh... I spoke with the state's attorney's office

ARTHUR: Thanks for bringing me home, Gail

ARTHUR: Where are we going?

Arthur.

As I said to you before,

At this point, I would just like to say

Back off, Arthur. Damn it.

Bail is revoked. Thank you, Your Honor.

Bathroom. Go home.

Beautiful animal. Oh...

Because a cab driver will pick up a couple a whole lot faster

Because she's not lying

Because you're conning the public into thinking you're doing something

Boy, do you look tired. Coffee, please

Brilliant defense, Arthur.

But instead, you fuck and murder them.

But Judge Fleming was just taken away

But this is crazy, you know? I know it. I know it.

But, Arthur, you'll never guess what for.

By the television. Ugh.

Can't you hear the confusion around me? You hear this noise?

Carl. Carl, you're gonna have a stroke.

Carl. Carl. Carl

Check the halls. See if he's lost. Yes, sir.

Come here. Heh, heh, heh.

Come on, Arthur

Come on, Arthur. He told the truth

Come on, Carl, what's going on? What do you want?

Congratulations, counsel.

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

COP: Take your wig off.

DA's willing to go two years, one year probation.

Do you always carry that with you?

Do you understand? He did not have to go to jail

Does not have one piece of substantiating evidence,

Don't quote the law. My client is innocent

Everybody screwed me

Face the wall.

Finally, turned around, went home. I left.

Firemen trying to get me out of the car. I'm trapped because some son..

Fleming sentences Jeff to five years in prison

FLEMING: Well, he's right.

For the defendant, Judge Henry T. Fleming

Frank. Yeah, here I am

GAIL: Well...

Gentlemen,

Get every nickel, then have him put away.

Get him out of here.

Get out

Get out.

Get those nurses off the floor.

GIBSON: Leave me alone. Don't swallow.

Give me a kiss. All right.

Give up? Yeah

Goddamn it.

Good morning, Mr. Kirkland.

Good to see you. How are you?

GUARD 2: Roll them. There's enough proof, Jeff.

Guards, I don't know where they come from

Half hour after they put him in the lockup,

Hang on. Get us back.

Hang on. Jesus

Have you ever seen...? Is this mike working?

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

He is a happy man today,

He is so carried away with the prospect of winning,

He live over on Hillsdale.

He needs you

He said, Arthur Kirkland, he the man to see.

He said, Yes

He used fuck a lot.

He was born with colic.

He would always say:

He's all right. He just needs a little time, that's all

He's blackmailing you? Yeah

He's eating the lottery tickets.

Heh, heh, heh. That was, God.

Heights. I don't know. I got a thing about heights

Hello, Larry. You're an asshole.

Here we go. Heading back.

Hold it, Wenke. Where are you going?

Home free

How are you? Good to see you.

How long were you married? Three years.

How're we doing?

I can tell if somebody's bullshitting me or not.

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

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

I can't stand it. Isn't that the best?

I couldn't figure out how to make a good knot.

I don't know how to fight.

I don't know so much. No, no. Tell me

I don't know. You're gonna have to hang in, that's all.

I don't wanna talk

I got Fleming first thing this morning.

I got him off on murder

I got you by the balls, Frank.

I know it's 2. The bars just closed.

I know, I know, I know it, Jeff

I know, I'm your lawyer. I'm your lawyer. I know that

I know. I know Jay was hurting. I know that.

I mean, would you know how to do that?

I need your ruling on my motion for a new trial.

I say, God.

I spend 14 hours a day working on that committee

I tell you, Arthur,

I think it's all right there in front of you.

I told him to move on, but he continued to use profanity

I wanna show you something.

I want you to sue the son of a bitch who did this to me.

I'll bet it's yams

I'll see he gets the death penalty, Carl.

I'm a lawyer because of him

I'm aware that I'm not particularly, uh, well liked.

I've been a lawyer for 12 years.

If everyone agrees that I'm innocent, how come I'm going back to jail?

If that don't beat all

If we're beyond the halfway point, judge, we're not all right.

Is highly commendable

Is laughing so hard, he's choking in the sink.

Is not gonna get that man today

Is that the prosecution doesn't have a witness

It also states that the dog

It makes him happy. Yeah, go ahead, Arthur, go ahead.

It states here that you were... The dog was attacking you

It took 40 minutes to tie these guys up

It won't foam

It's a long story, Gail. Oh, Jesus

It's cold in here

It's gonna take a couple of weeks, Jeff.

It's Jay Porter. He's gone completely crazy

It's me, Jeff. Arthur

It's not even my car.

It's not up to me. I'm trying to let you know what's going on.

It's Sunday, Carl. Hey, come on in.

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

Jay...

Jeff

Jeff?

Judge Fleming.

JUDGE: You are familiar with the proper procedure of appeal.

Judge? FLEMING: Yeah?

Just give me a verdict of guilty.

Just have to take care of yourself. Take care of myself?

Just reopen the case. That's all I'm asking.

Just to get away from some guys.

Keep it down, for chrissake. I'm trying... Goddamn it.

KILEY: I understand you took a swing at Judge Fleming. Is that true?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a case to end all cases.

Larry, that's privileged information

Last week, two lawyers were disbarred on minor charges.

Leave it out here

Left.

Let me know the...

Let me take you over to the hospital

Let those criminals create their own hellhole.

Let's just get you to the hospital, get you checked out.

Lie back, sir. Death is okay too.

Listen, let's get back to Fleming.

Look at that. Ha, ha, ha.

Look, you took an oath to defend your clients

MAN 1: Give me that. Don't swallow. ARTHUR: My client.

MAN 1: Spit it out.

MAN: Do you know Jules Stouffer? ARTHUR: Yes, I do.

Maybe I ought to start throwing out banana peels.

Mr. Kirkland, you are my lawyer.

Mr. Kirkland. Damn it, Arthur!

Mr. Soames did it again.

Mrs. Tate wants to talk to you.

My client, Ralph Agee,

My grandson.

Naturally. You're all he's got, believe me.

No

No problem. No problem. You'll be in and out in five minutes.

No problems, Grandpa

No, he doesn't drink. Doesn't drink at all.

No, it wasn't, Miss, um...

No. Go home and change

No. I'm gonna tell you... Give him the punchline.

No. No, I just didn't get him off.

No. That's the answer to your question.

Not again, Carl

Nothing.

Now listen.

Now, if I'm gonna be your lawyer,

Now, let's proceed in an orderly fashion

Now, Mr

Now, that's some nut I've got, huh?

Now, they screwed up the report.

Objection, Your Honor, inadmissible. Objection.

Oh, boy.

Oh, God

Oh, God!

Oh, hello, Sam

Oh, Jay.

Oh, Jeff.

Oh, no. No, he's not armed. What's he got?

Oh, well, you sure tied them.

Oh, yeah, well, I was busy, Arnie.

Oh? What is that? I'm a diabetic.

Oh. You forgot these.

Okay

Okay

Okay

Okay, Agee. You got any concealed weapons that they didn't find up front?

Okay.

Okay. Please.

On Greenway Avenue.

One nation under God, indivisible,

One's a whiplash, one's a divorce,

Only it's not that simple.

Packer. Packer.

Political reasons? Yes.

Prison should be a frightening place.

PRISONER 1: Are you a natural blond?

PRISONER 1: Hey, what's that?

PRISONER 2: He got something concealed

PRISONER 3: But it ain't no weapon. PRISONERS: Ha, ha, ha.

Prosecutor's completed his opening statement.

Put him someplace else?

Put your little heads together, came up with that one

Ralph Agee, will you stand before the court?

****d and beat that woman there!

Real question is, why?

Remarkable.

Right, he did it, Jay. He was guilty. We all know that.

SALTZMAN: This punk kept pulling my wife's purse

She here for our conjugal visit.

SHERRY: He'll be right with you.

Should be brought up before your ethics committee?

Small build, maybe about 5'6, 5'7, something like that.

Small fella, huh? Yeah.

So he gets out on probation in 10 months

So now you have it

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

So you're not gonna ask me:

So, uh, you eat out a lot?

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

So, what do you think?

So...

Son of a gun.

Sorry I'm late, your honor. I'm filling in for Mr. Kirkland.

Sunday morning, 10:00.

Sure

Take your wig off.

Tell Agee I'll call him tonight. Sorry I couldn't make it, okay?

Thank God I can walk. Carl, are you all right?

That are backed up from here to Washington, D.C.

That committee is a very dangerous farce.

That nobody's doing anything about

That tie, I like it

That was good. Very good work. I wanna thank you for your counsel.

That wasn't amusing, Mr. Kirkland

That what this committee is doing, in theory,

That when asked what you were doing in the alley,

That's incredible.

That's right. However, the deal was made with a Judge Callahan

That's what's really crazy

That's why Zinoff pulled your file.

The big white house.

The committee works just about every night.

The committee's considering calling him in

The Eager Street ex...

The finding of the truth

The hell with them.

The next thing I knew, Zinoff stepped in.

The son of a bitch is guilty!

Then do it. Defend Fleming.

Then something really wrong is going on here

There are too many goddamn criminals in this building.

They used to keep Native Dancer down there.

They're hiding the yams so I'll eat it.

They're still your parents. No.

This is a boy who's in prison,

This is a hearing, Mr. Kirkland.

This is not the McCarthy hearings. Oh. That's a relief.

This isn't amusing. It is, however, ridiculous.

This may sound crazy,

This way. Turn and face the wall.

This young girl, it's, uh..

Three times, Your Honor.

To the best of your ability.

Told you I had good instincts.

Trust me, Arthur. I know what I'm doing.

Wanted in Alabama for assault with a deadly weapon.

WARDEN: The doctor felt he was well enough to be sent back.

Warren, uh... Uh..

Was signing papers when...

We are not conducting some kind of witch hunt.

We are not sitting in jail at nights because of contempt of court.

We know that..

We're not gonna make it back. We're not gonna make it back

Well, I don't know

Well, I'll see you in court, Arthur.

Well, I'm not satisfied.

Well, see, my dog, he gets like that sometimes.

Well, sometimes the boys get bored.

Well, thank you very much

Well, there are two lawyers up in the third floor men's room

Well, they can have you disbarred

Well, what are..

Well, you mean, we're not gonna make it back?

Well...

What are you talking, groundwork?

What do you mean, ruin my career?

What do you wanna give me, Frank?

What do you..

What happened to sitting at a table?

What happened?

What is this fancy thing over here?

What kind of punishment is that?

What would happen if he stuck a firecracker in somebody's mouth?

What's the matter, Mr. Wenke?

What's the odds on that?

When I think that we could be dead right now, I tell you..

When you were first seen in the alley.

Where the hell is he?

Where'd you get it? I shaved my head.

Where's your teeth, Grandpa?

Which is?

While Jeff is sitting in jail, a guard is stabbed.

Who can ruin your career.

Whoo! Oh...

Why do you feel it's dangerous?

Why don't you take your wife, judge.

Why don't you wait in the car. No need for the wife to know.

Why else would you defend a man you dislike so much,

Why not? Well, there's a law...

Why?

Wild, isn't it?

With liberty and justice for all.

With liberty..

Wonderful woman.

Would you be able to identify him if you saw him again?

Yeah, Fleming's a tough man

Yeah, well, if the DA's office drops this case now,

Yeah? Who is it?

Yeah. Okay.

Yes, I am, Your Honor.

You don't like it? You don't eat it.

You fellas with your fancy ideas of rehabilitation

You got about three feet there. Ha, ha, ha.

You gotta have your teeth if you're gonna eat turkey.

You knew about this publicity that this case has been getting?

You know me, Arthur.

You know where he spends his lunch every day?

You know why?

You know, Arthur? I was your first client

You know, like a man and a woman couple.

You know, like... Like we was tourists.

You know? I don't like being angry.

You might wind up right back in jail.

You raised me.

You son of a bitch. ARTHUR: My client.

You think your committee's doing something?

You wanna hear a story about our wonderful judicial system?

You'll have to deal with my lawyer!

You're a wonderful man, Grandpa.

You're making an assumption he's guilty

You're out of order

You're supposed to protect people.

You're the one that put me through law school.
