Zoot Suit Page #4

---

I'll tell you a little story.

The first murder case

I ever tried...

and won, incidentally...

was for a filipino.

I was paid exactly $3.50 plus a

pack of lucky strike cigarettes...

And a note

for a thousand dollars.

Never redeemed.

Does that answer your question?

Yeah, well, how do we know

you're really a lawyer?

Well, you think I'm a cop?

Maybe.

What are you trying

to hide from the cops? Murder?

Sabes qu,

Mr. Shearer?

Don't do us

any favors.

All right. All right.

You want another lawyer.

All right. I'll talk to the public

defender's office about it.

Wait a minute,ese.

Where you going?

De cincho se le va a volar la tapa.

All right. Come on, kids.

Come on! Cut the crap!

All right. All right!

It's fine. It's fine.

Everything's fine.

Thank you.

I think you're making

a big mistake.

I wonder if you, uh,

know who your friends really are.

You realize that you boys

are facing a mass trial?

Any of you know

what that means?

You're all going

on the block together,

the whole so-called

38th street gang!

The DA.'s charging

conspiracy, henry!

He's gonna put you and all your

buddies right in the gas chamber.

But we didn't do nothing!

simn.

We're innocent.

On the level.

Okay, say we believe your people's

lawyer stuff. What does that prove?

The press has already tried and convicted us.

You think you can change that?

I honestly don't know.

But public opinion

comes and goes, henry.

What matters is

our system of justice.

I happen to believe

that it still works,

no matter how slowly

the wheels grind.

I promised your parents the best

defense that I'm capable of.

The question is,

uh, henry,

will you trust me?

I'chale!

We need a lawyer,ese.

You expect us to defend ourselves?

What difference

does it make?

"What difference

does it make?"

Whosepincheside

are you on anyway?

The side of the heroes

and the fools, hank.

Which one are you?

- you're on.

- hey, good.

Same here.

It's about time.

All right.

Now let's get to work.

Now,

I want you guys to tell me

exactly what happened.

Right from the beginning.
