Francis Hannah : Isn't it a fact, Mr. Gittes, that you're out on bail, having been arrested at the Green Parrot Bar & Grill?
Cotton Weinberger : Wait a minute. Your Honor, the witness has been CHARGED, not convicted.
Judge Alexander K. Dettmer : What's the charge?
Francis Hannah : The charge?
Judge Alexander K. Dettmer : YES. The charge.
Francis Hannah : Well, that, uh, Mr. Gittes was fondling... the private parts of a vice officer in the Men's Room of the Green Parrot Bar & Grill.
[gasps and laughter fill the court room]
Cotton Weinberger : Objection, Your Honor.
Judge Alexander K. Dettmer : I'm with you, Mr. Weinberger. I have NO idea what you thought you could do with this kind of evidence, Mr. Hannah. It certainly has no place in MY court room. Do yourself a favor. The next time, you be sure you've got a case. That's about it for this hearing.
