So now it's time for me to speak.
1:04:10
What is there for me to say?
1:04:14
When I finish,
you'll sentence me for my crime.

1:04:20
So let me ask you now:
1:04:23
What is a crime?
1:04:26
What is a punishment?
1:04:28
It seems to vary from time to time
and place to place.

1:04:35
What's legal today
is suddenly illegal tomorrow.

1:04:41
What's illegal is suddenly legal
because everybody's doing it.

1:04:47
You can't put everybody in jail.
1:04:52
I'm not saying
this is right or wrong.

1:04:55
I'm just saying
that's the way it is.

1:05:01
I've spent 3½ years of my life
in your prison.

1:05:07
I think I've paid for my error.
1:05:14
If it's your decision today
to sentence me to more years...

1:05:34
My lawyer... that's a good one.
He says, "Be cool, Billy."

1:05:40
"Be good. I'll get you a pardon,
an amnesty, an appeal."

1:05:47
This has been going on now
for 3½ years.

1:05:52
I've been playing it cool.
I've been good.

1:05:58
Now I'm damn tired of being good.
You said I had 53 days left.
