Normally, there'd be no problem.
The general rule is rich people get off.

:02:08
Problem is, they're usually straight.
:02:10
See, so it's a volatile issue.
:02:12
- I'm not crazy?
- No. Neither is Sonny.

:02:15
Jim's friends knew he was gay.
:02:17
Secretly, they congratulated themselves
on being so cosmopolitan.

:02:21
If they knew he was completely open with
his sexuality, they'd have shunned him.

:02:26
Maybe the jury will too.
:02:28
You think?
:02:31
Of course, no one'll ever really know
what happened that night.

:02:34
But Jim's told the story
a thousand times, never wavered.

:02:37
You're quite the advocate.
:02:39
What happened to
"Stick around and stay objective"?

:02:43
Objectively, it's looking like
they'll hang him for his sexuality.

:02:47
Something that would never happen
in New York, right?

:02:51
Well, you said it, not me.
:02:55
You don't seem like you're from here.
:02:57
I was born here, didn't like it...
:03:00
...moved away.
:03:01
Figured out the part
I didn't like was me.

:03:03
So I worked on that,
and I moved back.

:03:08
I got my first kiss right here.
:03:10
Sammy Jenks.
Gave him a black eye.

:03:13
You did? How hard?
:03:17
That's what love'll do.
:03:19
I have trouble picturing what kind of
woman you'd take the trouble to marry.

:03:27
First love situation.
:03:29
We got married a week after graduating
college, if you can believe that.

:03:34
So what happened?
:03:35
You want to hear my sob story?
:03:37
I think she thought
she was marrying Norman Mailer.

:03:41
She thought I'd be famous.
:03:43
After the book was published, she'd wake
up at the crack of dawn on Sunday...

:03:48
...make coffee, cross her fingers...
:03:50
...and look in that Sunday Times.
Sure it was going to be a bestseller.

:03:54
One Sunday, she didn't wake up early,
didn't make coffee...

:03:58
...didn't cross her fingers...
