Death Journey (1976)

Ed Kovins: Stern, the mouthpiece

Quotes 

• Stern, the mouthpiece : [to the judge at a meeting]  I find this request highly irregular. The DA's motion of extension is preposterous AND he wants us to permit him a new witness, because of the unfortunate accidents that happened to his other witnesses. I pretest. This parade of new witnesses could go on forever.

  District Att'y Virgil Riley : Your honor, these unfortunate accidents, that this learned counselor is referring to, are hardly accidental. One witness are blown to pieces by a bomb in a car. Another witness was shot to death. Now, it's clearly obvious to me, at least, Mr. Rosewald is directly responsible for this. And these people, victims of his ruthlessness and his willingness to do anything to defy the law.

  Stern, the mouthpiece : [outraged]  I must protest this inference that my client had anything to do with these accidents!

  Assistant D.A. Jonas : [also outraged]  Accidents? Guns don't go off by themselves!

  Judge : Gentlemen, please! Even though we're not in a court, would you please govern yourselves accordingly? It is the duty of the court to clearly see both sides of the case are clearly presented before it. I therefore grant a 48-hour extension. To allow you time to bring your witness in from Los Angeles. Mind you, there will be no more postponements.
