[Beth got Jim released on a technicality, that his name had been miswritten]
Neither one of us knew it was gonna be a kangaroo court.
Yeah, I don't understand it! You told them the truth!
Yeah, and they didn't buy it. Hey look, I'm out, right?
Temporarily. They're gonna hit you with another subpoena, Jim.
Well, let them. This time I go in knowing the ground rules. I give them my name and I take the Fifth Amendment all the way.
That's what I'd do. Well, they think you're guilty anyway.
Look, I can use the Fifth Amendment, can I? I mean, they haven't repealed the law or anything?
No, sure, you can take it, and they'll dismiss you, it will just be postponing the inevitable. Gary Bevins will apply to the Department of Justice for a grant of immunity, then you'll be recalled and you'll have to testify, or be held in contempt of court, again. This time they're gonna get your name right, my love.
