Judge Andrews, Hardwicke and others in “Unfinished Business”

Lot of charges here, Miss Hardwicke. I hope you aren't trying to substitute quantity for quality.

Your honor, the defendants are serial con artists who've defrauded countless victims.

Then why isn't the gallery overflowing with 'em?

[turns to Jerry in the gallery] One is seated right there. Jerry Bullard.

You mean the man who's willingly paying for my client's defense.

That's irrelevant.

Mr. Shankman, wanna pipe in here on behalf of your client?

Yes. Yes. My client would like to plead not guilty, your honor.

As does mine.

And the People request remand for both defendants, who have displayed quite a talent for trickery, coercion, and threats. Both use aliases, both lack community ties, and both are an extreme flight risk.

Your honor, I don't know about this other suspect, but my client has no history of violence and has never been charged with a crime.

Uh, me, neither. I've never even been fingerprinted.

Sir, if you have something to say, you need to say it through counsel.

[about his attorney] But he's not sayin' anything.

Your honor, in addition to the charges before you, the defendants are also suspects in an out-of-state murder. It would be irresponsible to allow them to go...

Are you asking for an extradition hold?

Well, no. Special Victims collected the defendants' DNA and sent it to Miami PD. But we're still awaiting confirmation.

Then you're tap-dancing while I should be at lunch. Bail will be set for each defendant at $250,000. Both will surrender their passports. [bangs gavel]
