Good evening, Judge.
1:23:19
Doggone it!
1:23:21
Lincoln, this is against
all my principles...
1:23:25
but I want to talk to you
as an older man.
1:23:29
Go ahead, Judge. I'm listenin'.
1:23:31
What I mean to say,
uh, dag-blame it, is...
1:23:35
don't you think you ought to have
some older lawyer with more experience...
1:23:40
to help you out tomorrow?
1:23:42
Are you suggesting that I retire, Judge,
or just take a backseat?
1:23:47
I'm suggesting, that is, if you want me to,
I'll speak to Mr. Douglas...
1:23:51
and get him to act
in a sort of advisory capacity.
1:23:57
I'm sorry, Judge, but I -
1:24:00
I'm just not the sort of fella can swap horses
in the middle of a stream.
1:24:04
Then at least change your plea.
1:24:06
Accept sentence
for your guilty client...
1:24:09
and I'll guarantee the State
will be lenient with the other.
1:24:13
Well, that's a mighty temptin' offer.
1:24:17
Mighty temptin', but I -
I'm afraid it can't be done.
1:24:21
You see, I promised those folks
I'd stick with the game...
1:24:23
till the last available card was played.
1:24:26
But, man, you'll send
both defendants to the gallows...
1:24:29
as surely as the moon sets.
1:24:36
Maybe...
1:24:38
but that's the way it's gotta be.
1:24:42
Good evening, Judge.
1:24:56
Order in the court!
1:24:58
Hello, Judge.
