:44:01
WELL, HE KNOWS IT,
:44:04
BUT THOSE NEWSPAPERS,
YOU KNOW,
:44:06
THEY KIND OF
CONFUSED HIM.
:44:08
I MEAN,
THEY GOT HEADLINES
:44:09
LIKE
"MISTAKEN IDENTITY"
:44:10
AND "GOOD FAMILY, GOOD KID,
POLICE BRUTALITY."
:44:14
YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL
BEFORE, BEN.
:44:18
OFFICER GOLICH
HAS A CONSCIENCE.
:44:21
WELL, HE CAN AFFORD ONE.
HE'S WHITE.
:44:23
WHITE, BLACK,
GREEN, RED.
:44:29
I WONDER IF YOU KNOW
ALL ABOUT THE KID.
:44:32
YOU MEAN THAT HE WAS
AN ATHLETE, RIGHT?
:44:34
BIG-TIME HERO, RIGHT?
:44:36
GOOD GUY.
:44:37
HAD A SCHOLARSHIP.
:44:39
EVERYBODY'S DARLING.
:44:42
SHIT, MAN,
:44:43
HE JUST NEVER
GOT CAUGHT BEFORE.
:44:46
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
I HAVE WITNESSES?
:44:48
NOW, I'M NOT DRAWING
ANY CONCLUSIONS.
:44:51
WITNESSES
WHO'VE TOLD ME
:44:52
THAT CORNBREAD
COULDN'T HAVE
:44:53
COMMITTED
ANY CRIME.
:44:56
THAT THEY
ACTUALLY
SAW HIM
:44:58
P
DRINKING
A BOTTLE OF PO
:44:59
IN A GROCERY STORE
AT THE TIME.
:45:04
SO THAT--
:45:05
THAT MEANS
I'M LYING, RIGHT?
:45:06
OH, FOR CHRIST'S
SAKE, LARRY.
:45:08
I'M SURE YOU DID
:45:09
WHAT YOU THOUGHT
WAS RIGHT.
:45:11
MAYBE I'D HAVE DONE
THE SAME THING.
:45:12
OH, WOULD YOU, BEN?
:45:14
WOULD YOU?
YOU IN YOUR--
:45:15
YOUR BROOKS BROTHERS
LAWYER'S SUIT.
:45:18
.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE
:45:19
WHERE DID YOU THINK
I GOT THIS,
IN LAW SCHOOL?
:45:20
14 YEARS OLD.
:45:22
RIGHT IN FRONT
OF THE HOUSE
:45:23
ON THE STREET
WHERE YOU LIVED.
:45:24
WELL,
IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME
:45:25
YOU HEALED UP
REAL WELL, BEN,
:45:27
BUT I AM STILL
ON THOSE SAME
:45:29
FUNKY STREETS
DAY AFTER DAY
:45:31
TRYING TO DEAL
WITH THEM MANIACS, MAN,
:45:33
AND LET ME
TELL YOU SOMETHING.
:45:35
THOSE CATS
ARE AFTER ME
:45:36
WITH MORE
THAN JUST A--
:45:37
A SAFETY RAZOR.
:45:38
NOW, DON'T GIVE ME
:45:39
THAT "POOR COP
ON THE BEAT,
:45:40
"BIG-CITY LAWYER"
SHIT.
:45:42
WELL, THEN DON'T
GIVE ME THAT
:45:43
"OLD BUDDY FROM
THE NEIGHBORHOOD" CRAP.
:45:45
MAN, THIS IS ME, BEN.
THIS IS LARRY.
:45:47
NOW, YOU COULD
NOT WAIT TO GET
:45:48
YOUR BLACK ASS
OUT OF THAT
NEIGHBORHOOD.
:45:51
DON'T JIVE
ME, MAN.
:45:55
YOU KNOW,
:45:56
I'M BEGINNING
TO UNDERSTAND.
