pull a rabbit out of a hat.
Don't say "hat. "
You can say anything else, rabbit, toad...
- Good morning.
Good morning, Ace, good morning.
Have you studied
that cross-examination of Hardy?
Yes, sir, no perjury.
Why, um...
Dad, I'm not in the way, am I?
No, no, darling, no.
Mr. Wilfong.
You know, you should get
some new pictures for the press.
- Now, should I?
- They sure don't flatter you any.
You're on trial for your life, aren't you?
- Sam.
- Yes, sir?
Ask Judge Hannan if he can delay
about five minutes, will you, please?
- I'll appreciate it.
Yes, sir.
I'm not allowed to say "hat. "
That's too bad.
Absolutely nothing that stands up...
...except the fact that three people saw
him leave the building without his hat.
But how that stands up.
Is blue your favorite color?
Why?
- I was just thinking it ought to be.
- I admit it, it is.
Oh, excuse me.
Ace, do you remember exactly what
you answered when you were questioned...
...about that hat being found
by the body of the murdered man?
And hurry up, will you?
Huh?
- Excuse me, Mr. Ashe.
Do you remember exactly what you...?
- Yes, I heard him.
I said I had nothing to say, didn't know.
Look here, there's something you haven't
told me that would help me out a lot.
I wish I could, sir.
You're holding out on me,
aren't you?
Mr. Ashe, a guy like me
has to ride with lady luck.
in plenty of trouble.
I see, you want to go to the gallows
with your mouth shut.
Well, you're defending an innocent man.
Now, that's all I can say.
That's wonderful, but darned silly.
Here you are.
- Oh, thank you.
I had a hunch
I'd like to wear your color today.
Do you mind?
I'm thrilled to death.
Standing room only, boss.
Okay, boss.
- You sure about it?
- You can go to sleep on it.
The judge says all right, Mr. Ashe.
All right, present my thanks
and compliments...
...and tell him to fire when ready.
Yes, sir.
Ace, I suppose you know
your case is in your hat.
Yes, sir.
- Not quite straight. May I?
- Oh, thanks.
- I wish you luck.
- I guess I'll need it.
Ace, I may decide to pull a rabbit
out of that hat, so don't look surprised.
I seldom do, sir.
Boys, turn your backs, will you, please?
Department Number 6
of the Superior Court...
...in the city of San Francisco,
the state of California...
...is now in session.
If my client is guilty of murder,
I want him punished.
But if he's not...
...I want to keep from your kind hearts...
...the awful responsibility of not
doing the right and just thing about it.
Now, this, my friends, Your Honor...
...was found by the side
of the murdered man.
