Guilty as Sin Page #3

but they made it pretty clear...

Where did you go?

Do l have to answer that?

l promise, nothing you say

could lower my opinion of you.

All right.

l met a very nice lady

at the bar at the Drake.

She had some clean shirts at

her place; so many of them do.

And they always seem to fit.

Terrible picture, don't you think?

Do you know that there

are some women that are...

always attracted

to men the same size?

l'm counting on you to arrange that.

l have someone at the State's Attorney's

Office you can surrender to...

without a lot of media coverage.

- And so you'll handle my defence?

- Oh, thank you, but no.

Why not?

Because you don't like me?

- Or because you do?

- You're not my type.

l wouldn't be

too sure about that.

Come on. Why won't you handle

my defence? l'm innocent.

How would l know that?

Because, Miss Haines,

you can tell about clients...

like l can tell

about women, like that.

You know, it's funny.

l actually believe you.

Liars are seldom as blunt

or ridiculous.

Well, then, come on. For every

five Lombardos you represent...

you should take on

at least one innocent man.

-Mmm, my calendar's full.

-l can't believe you're turning me down.

l'm sure it's a novel experience,

but you'll get used to it.

l never have.

l'll tell you what.

l'll arrange for Josephine Grimes

to come see you.

She's a capable attorney

with her own firm...

and two grown sons as her partners.

l'm sure she'll be safe with you.

Get me Stanley Helman

in the State's Attorney's Office.

- Well, l'm glad you're not

taking that vacation.

- Well--

We've decided to let you take over

on this Barry Carpenter mess.

uh, he's as innocent as a baby.

Let's hold off on that a minute.

Yesterday l spent ten minutes

in my office with a slick...

but very attractive womanizer

who really needs an attorney.

- Who?

- David Greenhill.

Oh, no. Not that guy who

threw his wife out the window.

- l don't know that he did.

- What did you tell him?

l turned him down,

but l'm having second thoughts.

- Why?

- Because l've never represented

anyone like Greenhill before.

He is completely in love

with himself, manipulative...

and an outrageous flirt.

Uh-huh.

l mean, he is a classic target.

The media is gonna have

a field day with him.

''Gigolo murders society wife.''

''Lady-killer kills lady.''

They are gonna hate him

and try and destroy him.

ls that why you're

tempted to take him on?

- Maybe.

- You're really feeling your oats,

aren't you, Jennifer?

- You said you thought

l could be one of the best.

- Mmm.

You carried me through law school,

kept moving me up in the firm.

You want an honest answer?

l am feeling my oats.
