Judge Floyd Hurwitz:
Step up here, Counsel. Alan Shore: This is never good when they ask me to step up. Judge Floyd Hurwitz: You think I'm an idiot? Alan Shore: Judge, I cannot be held accountable for what I do with straight lines lobbed right over the plate. Judge Floyd Hurwitz: How would you like to be held in contempt, Mr. Wisenheimer? Alan Shore: Again, Judge, that was a beach ball straight down the middle. Judge Floyd Hurwitz: Two days. Put him in the same cell with his client. They can discuss her wedding plans. Alan Shore: You can't plan a wedding in two days! See more » |
