Very pretty.

- Thinking of getting married?

- Why, yes, we'd like to.

You're not making much money.

That doesn't matter.

We both like working for you.

- We get along.

- Hmm.

Well, in a few years,

you'll be doing big things, Jimmy.

You have a natural feeling

for this work...

...but it will demand all of your time

and thought.

I'm afraid marriage

will interfere with your progress.

Do you think you can postpone it?

We're pretty much used to waiting

by now.

You're supposed to be

at the institute at 8, doctor.

Huh?

Your lecture.

Oh, ah, yes, yes, yes. Thank you.

Well, how about it, Jimmy?

Do you think you can wait?

- I'm afraid I'll have to, doctor.

- Well, if you do...

...you're a bigger fool

than I thought you were. Good night.

- Hey!

- Jimmy, are you hurt?

Uh, they smacked the left side of the car.

I'm gonna get that guy.

Bust my fenders. They can't get away

with that hit-and-run stuff.

- Not so fast, Jimmy.

- Oh, it's just my luck.

My insurance ran out yesterday.

Wait. Look.

- Did you get their license number?

- No, they were too far ahead.

Oh, Jimmy, let's go. I'm afraid.

Looks like somebody's been taken

for a ride.

Jimmy, we don't wanna get mixed up

in a thing like this.

Oh, Jimmy.

Listen, you two,

you haven't heard or seen a thing.

Keep your trap shut, understand?

Now beat it.

"Judge Shaw. " Holy smoke!

- It's a lie, a lie. I tell you, I didn't do it.

- Order in the court. Order.

Proceed.

Don't worry.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

these facts cannot be denied.

The accused rented the car.

Night after night, he was seen skulking

around the deceased's home.

Ten years ago, Judge Roger Shaw

did his duty as he saw it...

...and sentenced this man to prison

for an offense...

...the details of which,

out of fairness to the accused...

...I shall not relate.

Today, this man takes vengeance

into his own hands and kills.

If you acquit him,

you jeopardize our entire social life...

...our entire legal system.

Morally, you can not acquit.

Morally and legally, you must convict.

The defense's only alibi...

...of a man and woman who could

step forward, by waving a magic wand...

...absolve the accused of all guilt,

is so fantastic...

...that I shall not presume

upon your valuable time by refuting it.

Therefore,

ladies and gentlemen of the jury...

...the state asks that you find John Ellman

guilty of murder in the first degree.

The state rests.

I can't stand it. I tell you, I can't stand it.

We can't be quiet about this.

- We've got to tell.

- Jimmy, please? Let's get out of here.

Come. Come. Pardon me.

- Hey, buddy?

- Yeah?

- I'll bet you 2-to-1 he's acquitted.

- You're on.
