1:39:00
l can do me better than he does me!
l've been at it longer than anybody!
1:39:05
lf l could just talk to him eye to eye.
He's not a bad guy.
1:39:09
l can make him understand me.
He's a human being.
1:39:12
He doesn't want to hear
one more word from you.
1:39:15
He'll cite you for contempt.
1:39:17
You guys are not representing me
the way l have asked.
1:39:20
We're doing the best we can, Lenny.
1:39:22
Did you talk to him about me
doing my act for the court?
1:39:25
- No.
- Why?
1:39:27
He has all the tapes,
you've had several witnesses,
1:39:30
and you're not in
a proper emotional state...
1:39:32
l'm fine, man. l just know if l don't do
my act for the court, l'm gonna lose!
1:39:37
Come on, man. You know it,
he knows it. l know it.
1:39:40
Will you give us a coupla minutes alone?
1:39:42
No, if it's about me,
l wanna hear it, man. l'm not a baby.
1:39:46
OK, have it your way.
1:39:48
(whispered conversation)
1:39:51
You don't have to whisper.
1:39:53
When it goes to the appellate court,
l don't want you in the record.
1:39:57
We'll have to eat a guilty verdict.
1:39:59
You are wild!
You eat the verdicts, l do the time!
1:40:02
- lt is really bizarre!
- These lower courts are meaningless.
1:40:05
- They don't mean a thing.
- lt'll be like Chicago.
1:40:08
We'll appeal to the state,
you'll get relief there.
1:40:11
That took two years
and every nickel l had!
1:40:13
l had to borrow 10 bucks just to get here!
1:40:16
l'm like a nigger
looking to use the toilet!
1:40:19
By the time l get relief, it'll be too late.
1:40:21
l don't wanna go to jail!
And l'll tell you something else!
1:40:25
Either put me on the stand,
you let me do my act for that court,
1:40:29
or l'm gonna sue your asses,
1:40:31
and go in there and represent myself,
and that's it! No more bullshit!
1:40:36
lf it please the court...
l wish to defend myself.
1:40:40
Your Honour, l can no longer
relate to my counsel.
1:40:43
Mr Bruce, my suggestion is
that you now make a request
1:40:46
for a continuance,
for the purpose of retaining new counsel.
1:40:50
lf you do, then l will so grant that request.
1:40:52
l just want a chance to talk to the court,
1:40:55
just to talk to you without all
the legal double-talking bullshit.
1:40:58
You are making this very difficult for me.
