:13:01
That should have been
established by your attorney.
:13:04
I'm broke. I got this court-appointed
lawyer. She don't know nothing.
:13:09
Mr. LaPlante...
:13:10
...my job is to make a recommendation
for sentencing, based on this interview.
:13:15
I'm not a criminal.
:13:17
Buying stolen goods?
It's a little technical thing.
:13:20
Do I rob anybody? Do I hit anybody?
:13:23
Don't clutter up prisons
with guys like me.
:13:25
Prisons are for tough guys.
:13:28
Prisons are for guys who like
to beat each other up.
:13:33
I can't do that kind of time. I don't
belong in that kind of environment.
:13:38
Give me a break.
:13:39
Look.
:13:42
I got this kid, 9, 10 years old.
:13:45
I'm taking him to the movies
tonight after work.
:13:47
He worships me.
:13:49
If I go to the slammer,
what's this going to do to the kid?
:13:53
I'm his goddamn role model,
for chrissake.
:13:56
I don't have to explain how much my
cameraman, editor, assignment editor...
:14:00
...and news director, to name a few,
did to get me this award.
:14:09
This is an onion.
:14:12
It's a metaphor for a news story.
:14:14
A few hours ago, I was standing on
a ledge 60 stories above the street...
:14:18
...interviewing a man who subsequently
jumped to his death.
:14:22
Forty million dollars in the bank,
happily married, good health.
:14:27
Great story.
:14:30
But there's got to be more.
I mean, we're pros, right?
:14:34
Some kind of extramarital
hanky-panky, maybe?
:14:38
Another great story.
:14:40
Maybe the guy's been accused
of child molesting.
:14:43
A terrific story.
:14:45
What? It turns out
the accusations were false?
:14:48
Wonderful. More story.
:14:50
Maybe the alleged mistress was lying.
Setting the guy up, huh?
:14:55
Sensational story.
:14:57
So we keep going.
:14:59
Excuse me. Keep digging.
