to our judicial system.

Mr. Collins,

do you have any

preconceived notions

about the Drive-Thru Killer?

Drive-Thru who?

Don't tell me

you've never heard

of Carl Wayne Bishop?

No, I can't say I have.

I'm not one for television.

Poisons the mind.

It's too biased.

Nobody tells the truth.

And quite frankly,

the truth,

well, that's all

I'm interested in.

They picked a jury!

They picked a jury!

They're serving

tuna salad for lunch!

Tuna salad for lunch!

(REPORTER TALKING IN FRENCH)

(REPORTER TALKING IN JAPANESE)

(REPORTER TALKING IN SPANISH)

The jury for

this highly-charged

and sensitive murder trial

has been chosen.

Presently, the jurors

are departing the courthouse

for an undisclosed location.

REPORTER 1:

Sir, over here! Do you know

where they are taking you?

REPORTER 2:

Will you be allowed

to see your families?

REPORTER 3:

Did you try the tuna salad?

Fear not, citizens.

Justice will be served.

You're in good hands! Aah!

Ow!

What? I had the exact change.

Sit down.

Okay.

(CLUCKS)

Breaker, 1-2.

Breaker, 1-2.

Good afternoon,

ladies and gentlemen,

and welcome to Justice Tours!

(LAUGHS)

I'm Juror Number 6.

Number 6, sit down!

Do we have any jurors

from out of town?

Great. Would you like

to tell us something

about yourself?

My name is Jorge,

and I received

my citizenship here

in this great country,

one month ago!

I am so proud to be here.

And you can even

drink our water.

(LAUGHS)

Number 6, sit down!

Shh!

You guys, everybody stay calm.

I've just been informed

there's a bomb on the bus.

It's set to go off

if we exceed the speed

of 10 miles an hour.

Sit down!

(LAUGHS)

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

Aah! Ow.

(SQUEAKING)

(THUDDING)

All right,

ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to your hotel.

When you're not here,

you'll be in the courtroom.

When not in the courtroom,

you'll be here.

Please do not

discuss any aspect

of the trial with each other

or anyone else.

That means friends,

family, the media.

TOMMY:
What about

Ricki Lake? (LAUGHS)

Welcome to

the Holiday Suites Hotel,

where every day is a holiday.

Eh, pretty nice joint

you got here.

JORGE:

Beautiful, beautiful.

Actually, you'll be staying

in the historic wing.

(MACHINES WHIRRING)

The emergency exits

are at the end

of the hallways.

And the ice machine is located

just across the street

at the gas station.

You'll be staying

two to a vintage suite.

Jurors 7 and 12,

in suite 503.

I'm 12.

I'm 7.

And, let's see,

we have jurors 2 and 9

in suite 504.

What are you doing?

We're bunkies, see?

9?

Move it, pervert.

Good night.

Wait, wait. No, no, no.

Don't shut it. Don't shut it.

Ahh!

(DRILL BUZZING)
