: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.
:50:04
You shouId give it to him? What was he
before he was a Iawyer? A fuckin' comedian?
:50:08
If he doesn't ask the right questions,
your Iawyer wiII.
:50:11
No, he can stiII fuck things up.
:50:14
Cross-examination is about knowing
what to say and what not to say.
:50:18
Let's say he asks aII the possibIe questions,
and the witness has aII the answers.
:50:22
He ends up proving the prosecution's case!
:50:26
How did he ever taIk you into it?
:50:33
At my cousin Ruthie's wedding,
the groom's brother was that guy AIi Kazam.
:50:37
- You know who I'm taIkin' about?
- The magician with the ponytaiI?
:50:41
Right. He did his act, and every time he made
something disappear, Vinny jumped on him.
:50:45
He naiIed him. It was Iike
''It's in his pocket'' or ''He's paIming it.''
:50:49
Or ''There's a mirror under the tabIe.''
:50:51
He was Iike ''Wait. It's joined in the middIe
and there's a spring around it.''
:50:55
''It pops it open when it's inside the tube.''
:50:58
It was Iike AIi Kazam's worst nightmare.
