hwpMister foreman,
have you arrived at a verdict?
We have, your honour.
We find the defendant
guilty of all charges.
-He has no priors--
-Thats misleading.
He has no convictions.
-ls he dangerous?
-No, but hes a slippery little shit.
Your honour,
request bail be continued--
Hes already wasted the jurys time,
not to mention yours.
-He has no priors, your honour.
-Judge, lock him in now.
No, your honour.
Hes a very decent family man.
But he has no priors.
He has no convictions.
l dont care about the pri--
Misleading?
-ls he violent?
-He wouldnt hurt a flea.
-l mean, a fly.
-Youre very naive.
lm not naive!
Thats enough of this.
All right, lm going with you.
l got your bail continued.
l dont want my bail continued.
Mr. LaPlante, they found you guilty.
Guilty? What do you mean?
The jury found you guilty.
lm innocent, for chrissake!
Mr. LaPlante, lve been persuaded,
in view of your continued employment...
...and your lack of priors...
...to continue your bail
under the same conditions...
...pending sentencing six days from now.
ln the meantime, make an appointment
with a probation officer...
...who will make a recommendation to me
regarding your sentence.
l urge you...
...to use those six days to get
your personal affairs in order...
...in anticipation of incarceration.
ln anticipation of incarceration.
ln anticipation of incarceration.
He means prison, Mr. LaPlante.
l know what he means. lm not
a prison kind of guy, Miss ODay.
Youre not doing your job. Last time
my lawyer got the charges dismissed.
Thats why the district attorney
is so hard-nosed this time.
-An appeal?
-We dont have the grounds.
What we have to do is focus
on the probation officers report.
He gives a good report and l walk?
l think a suspended sentence
is unlikely. Now....
You still have your job, right?
lve been calling in sick.
And a son by your ex-wife, Joseph?
A son? Yeah.
What about him? Joey.
Are you involved in his upbringing?
lnvolved?
She attached my paycheck, child support.
Why do you think l got a court-appointed
lawyer instead of an experienced one?
l understand.
How often do you see your son?
The kid? l dont know.
On his birthday. When was that?
May, l think.
She dont like for me to see him.
Thinks lm a bad influence.
l think you should see your son.
Try to get your boss to write a note
about your performance on the job.
Create the impression of a decent
citizen with familial responsibilities...
...who happened to slip up once.
And l know that youre having
financial difficulties, Mr. LaPlante...
...but l was wondering if the money
that l loaned you last week....
Some of it.
lll get you the rest as soon as l can.
lf youre a little short, its okay.
l dont want to take your last dime.
ld better keep some of it,
if lll see the kid.
For gas and stuff.
Look at that one.
lf you were in there, hed kill you.
Wouldnt he, Dad?
Yeah, yeah. Something like that.
You know this friend
that your mothers seeing?
What is he, a fireman?
Did he ever, you know, just kind of
spend the night? Whats his name?
Sometimes. His name is Elliott.
He saved a guys life
one time in a fire.
A hero?
Was he ever in the Nam,
this guy Elliott?
The Nam? Whats that?
lt was this war, Vietnam.
Doesnt matter.
Were you in it? ln the war?
-You didnt see that picture?
-What picture?
Me in my uniform.
Used to be over the fireplace.
ln public restrooms,
youre always standing in piss.
lt dont matter to you.
You got sneakers.
But lm standing in piss
in very expensive shoes.
l dont want piss on them.
l want to protect them.
lts a breakdown in custodial services.
Look, somebody lost their wallet.
What?
-Wait a minute.
-To give it to the manager.
He pockets the dough,
throws the wallet away.
Well go out back. Most people who work
in supervisory positions are crooks.
You didnt pay.
The waiter knows me.
l got an account here.
Tomorrow, when l get to the office...
...my secretary will phone this guy up
from the name on his license.
Let the guy come and get his wallet.
Make sure you get a reward.
You deserve a reward.
Spare some change, sir?
No way, fella. Not a chance.
Resist the urge to be nice
to those people.
Theyre con artists.
Take advantage of the soft heart.
A lot of them are better off
than the rest of us.
Look out for number one.
lt sounds harsh...
...but its a goddamn jungle out there.
You got to keep a low profile.
Right?
A low profile.
Hey, Bernie. Where you been, pal?
Some guys been looking for me, Chick?
Spanish kind of guys?
Business thing.
Give me a seven and seven, will you?
Five days now, l dont see you?
lts because lm up to my ass in shit.
lm broke because l got legal problems.
Nobody was asking for me, huh?
Nope.
Legal problems?
You gotta have a good attorney.
Shes just out of law school. A couple
years older than my kid, for chrissake.
You got a kid?
How olds your kid?
Nine, l think. Maybe .
Yeah, . Nice kid.
You got a -year-old attorney, Bernie?
l cant afford no better.
My ex, she attached my paycheck
for child support payments.
You looking for Bern
