There. OK. What are you gonna do

to me, I don't drop this case?

What do you want from me?

No, darling, entrapment

is when they come onto you.

You go up to a cop, you offer to

clean his pipes for 50 bucks,

you're not a plumber.

They got you!

But I don't do that!

I'm you, you're me.

You're a john, OK?

You're me?

Just shut up and watch, OK?

OK.

Do you know where

there's a party tonight?

What you got in there, sweet stuff?

Carmen, I'm serious.

I'm tired of bailing you out.

Yeah?

You, Mother Teresa, hit it.

- Do as I tell ya!

- Don't you touch me!

Hit it! Get out!

Carmen, Carmen, OK.

I'll see you Tuesday morning, 9 A.M.

- OK, Harry.

- That's the court date.

Stay off the street till then.

American!

What is this, Fabian?

You are?

John Bonney, Sanchez' attorney.

What are you pulling?

Hey, my client got whacked by

a world-ranked professional fighter.

- Bullshit!

- Bullshit?

I got his medical right here, Jack.

Who'd you send him to?

Dr. Pedro in East Harlem?

What if I did? The man's got as

much right to practice medicine

as you got to practice law.

No, more like as you got to practice law.

I got six years Bronx

legal aid under my belt.

I represent more guys in a week

than you represent in a year.

And a fine crew of taxpayers

they are too, I bet?

Unlike Cuda Sanchez.

Sanchez is a professional athlete.

My point exactly.

So you want to settle

or you want to go to trial?

You f***ing insect.

You can call me all the names you want.

You want to settle

or you want to go to trial?

- Yeah, yeah!

- Yeah what?

- You want to settle?

- Yeah, let's go to trial.

Is that OK with you, counselor?

Practice a little law?

Hey, you wanna go to trial,

OK, let's go to trial.

That's it!

That's it!

A left and a right.

Big combination.

Yeah.

I need a light-heavy

for a four-rounder!

I need a light-heavy

for a four-rounder!

You know where this kid Sanchez is?

I gotta talk to this kid Sanchez.

- Sanchez?

- Yeah.

His lawyer wants to tie him up in

court for the next six months.

Sanchez!

These kids will tear a

new a**hole for Sanchez.

These are my boys.

Sanchez won't get in the ring with them.

Sanchez won't be able to get

in the ring with anybody.

I mean, your lawyer's supposed

to work for you, right?

Sanchez is pretty good, isn't he?

Don't you listen, or what?

F*** Sanchez!

You watch these kids!

I could beat Sanchez.

Yeah, me.

You could beat Sanchez!

I probably could beat Sanchez.

You know, I used to do a

little boxing myself, you know.

I boxed at Oxford.

Quit when I killed somebody.

Yeah? I went

to Cocksford.

But seriously, is Sanchez around?

When does he come in?

There he goes.
