I'm No Angel Page #16

I do know them.

You don't want me to commit perjury?

Yes, why didn't you tell me

there was so many men in your life?

Why shouldn't I know guys?

I've been around. I travel from coast to coast.

A dame like me can't make trips like that

without meeting any of the male population.

Listen to me, Tira.

You know me, I'm a smart lawyer.

Give me that much loophole

and I'm through it like an eel.

With what all those guys,

all those riffraffs, pardon me...

going up to the judge and telling

all they know about you and them.

- It's curtains for us.

- You mean we're finished?

Yeah, sure, drop it.

You had enough publicity.

What those guys are gonna tell the judge

won't read so nice in the newspapers.

I ain't gonna drop it.

Listen, Benny, have I a right

to question witnesses myself?

Yeah, sure but...

- That's what I'm gonna do.

- You don't mean it.

Now Mr. Brown, just tell the jury

in your words, what took place.

I was watching her dance

and I seen her looking at me.

I kind of looked back

and she flirted and made a date with me.

So, I took her out for a ride in my car...

and she asked me up to her hotel room

where she was living.

We had a couple of drinks...

and she put on a phonograph record

and we danced.

And while we was dancing, she kissed me.

And how long were you

with Miss Tira in her hotel room?

- Close to a couple hours, I should say.

- That's all, Mr. Brown.

Cross-examine.

My client begs

the permission of the court...

to question the defence witness herself.

It's a little unusual,

but quite within the plaintiff's right.

She may question the witnesses.

If you please...

the court should warn

the jury not to be swayed...

by any theatricalism by the plaintiff.

The jury in weighing the evidence

will bear in mind the defence's warning.

Proceed.

Lovely tie.

Mr. Brown, aren't you the man

that had the five wives?

Yeah.

And you was married to one

when you were with me, wasn't you?

- Yes.

- Cheating.

You made it sound nasty

the way you spoke about us two...

being alone together in my place.

And you know nothing happened that

you couldn't tell your grandchildren about.

Well, I...

In other words, it was just

a harmless little social date, wasn't it?

- Yeah.

- Okay, I'm through with you.

How am I doing?

Any further questions?

You're excused, Mr. Brown. Next witness.

Mr. Kirk Lawrence.

Mr. Kirk Lawrence, take the stand.

Quiet, please.

Do you solemnly swear

to tell the whole truth...

and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

I do.

Take the stand.

Aren't you well-acquainted

with the plaintiff?

- Yes.

- In fact, you were intimate friends.

Yes.

Isn't it true that you once seriously
