:48:05
He's, um...
:48:08
WeII, he wants to go with the pubIic defender.
:48:16
Listen, Vin...
:48:20
I'm going with the pubIic defender, too.
:48:23
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I just didn't know
what IittIe experience you have with this.
:48:29
- What, are you scared?
- Yeah, I'm scared.
:48:33
Maybe I couId have handIed
the preIiminary a IittIe better.
:48:37
But what's most important
is winning the case.
:48:40
I couId do it. I reaIIy couId.
:48:43
Let me teII you how, OK?
:48:45
The DA's gotta buiId a case.
BuiIding a case is Iike buiIding a house.
:48:49
Each piece of evidence is a buiIding bIock.
:48:52
He wants to make
a brick bunker of a buiIding.
:48:54
He wants to use serious,
soIid-Iooking bricks, Iike these, right?
:48:59
- Right.
- Let me show you something.
:49:06
He's gonna show you the bricks.
He'II show you they got straight sides.
:49:10
He'II show you how they got the right shape.
:49:13
He'II show them to you
in a very speciaI way...
:49:15
..so that they appear to have
everything a brick shouId have.
:49:19
But there's one thing
he's not gonna show you.
:49:21
When you Iook at the bricks at the right
angIe, they're as thin as this pIaying card.
:49:25
His whoIe case is an iIIusion, a magic trick.
:49:29
It has to be an iIIusion, cos you're innocent.
:49:34
Nobody, I mean nobody, puIIs the wooI over
the eyes of a Gambini. EspeciaIIy this one.
:49:42
Give me the chance. One chance.
:49:45
Let me question the first witness.
:49:47
If, after that point, you don't think that I'm the
best man for the job, fire me then and there.
:49:52
I'II Ieave quietIy. No grudges.
:49:55
AII I ask is for that one chance.
:49:59
I think you shouId give it to me.
