- How do you do?
- This is Muff.
- Hello, Muff.
The jail's right here.
You're tall!
- Hello, Pauly.
- Hi, Sulo.
You wait here, Muffy.
- Good to see you.
- How're you feeling?
Fine. I guess you've come
for the soldier boy?
Yes. Do you think we could talk
in the sheriff's office?
Sure, I'll bring him down.
Would you mind taking your glasses off,
Mrs. Manion?
Gee-whiz. Barney Quill do that to you?
More than that. You should see. All over.
You can put them back on,
if it's more comfortable for you.
This is Pauly Biegler.
This is the bucko, Pauly.
- Lt. Manion?
- Hello, there.
- Hi, Manny.
- Hello, Laura.
down at my office about 2:00 p.m.
It's 305 West Barnham.
- Of course.
- Fine.
- Is there anything I can get you, hon?
- I'm all right, hon.
Right in here.
Wanted:
The Big 10.They got the 10 best-dressed dames,
the 10 top teams, the 10 top tunes...
...and now the 10 most-wanted.
Don't knock it. That's the American dream.
Those boys made the grade.
You were the district attorney around here,
weren't you?
Yes. Ten years.
What's your experience
as a defence lawyer?
Not very much.
How do I know you can handle my case?
I guess you don't know.
Shall we talk about it?
I suppose so.
Come on. Don't be so bored.
You know, it might very well be
that no lawyer can "handle" your case...
...if you mean getting off scot-free.
You seem to be forgetting:
I have the unwritten law on my side.
The unwritten law is a myth.
There is no such thing
as the unwritten law.
Anyone who commits murder
on the theory it does exist...
...has bought himself room and board
in the state penitentiary.
Maybe for life.
With that in mind, perhaps we can proceed
with a few questions and answers that...
Can I borrow your lighter?
We can proceed with a few questions...
...that might be of some help
in your defence.
But probably won't be.
That's a nice lighter.
- How old are you?
- Twenty-eight.
- How long have you been in the service?
- Since '50.
- Have you seen any action?
- Korea.
- Do you have any decorations?
- Plenty.
- Is this your first marriage?
- No.
You're not on the witness stand.
You don't have to answer yes or no.
Just give me the matrimonial rundown.
Is this necessary?
I'll be the judge of that.
Charged cruelty.
Eating crackers in bed,
you know, the usual stuff.
The truth was, she found another guy
when I was in Korea.
I met Laura four years ago, in Georgia.
We were married right after her divorce.
Did you know the husband?
He was in my outfit down there.
You mean you were buddies?
I'll withdraw the question.
