My Cousin Vinny (1992) | "Once again, the communication process is broken down" | Courtroom Scene
Video from Mr. Mo_Man In The Saddle😃 Vinny Gambini: You understand me? Vinny Gambini: [not comprehending] Uh... yes. Fine, Judge, fine. Judge Chamberlain Haller: How do your clients plead? Vinny Gambini: Er, my clients were caught completely by surprise. They thought they were getting arrested for shoplifting a can of tuna. Judge Chamberlain Haller: What are you telling me? That they plead not guilty? Vinny Gambini: No. I'm just trying to explain... Judge Chamberlain Haller: [cutting him off] I don't want to hear explanations. The state of Alabama has its procedure. And that procedure at this point in time is to have an arraignment. Are we clear on this? Vinny Gambini: Uh, yes, but there seems to be a great deal of confusion here... Judge Chamberlain Haller: Mr. Gambini... [the Judge motions for Vinny to approach the bench] Vinny Gambini: My clients, er... Judge Chamberlain Haller: [in Vinny approaching the bench] All I ask from you is a very simple answer to a very simple question. There are only two ways to answer: guilty or not guilty. Vinny Gambini: But your honor, my clients didn't do anything. Judge Chamberlain Haller: Once again, the communication process has broken down. It appears to me that you want to skip the arraignment process, go directly to trial, skip that, and get a dismissal. Well, I'm not about to revamp the entire judicial process just because you find yourself in the unique position of defending clients who say they didn't do it. *** Judge Chamberlain Haller: Mr. Gambini, the next words out of your mouth better be "guilty" or "not guilty." I don't want to hear commentary, argument, or opinion. I don't want to hear any facts or evidence. If I hear anything other than "guilty" or "not guilty", you'll be in contempt. I don't even want to hear you clear your throat to speak. Now, how do your clients plead? Vinny Gambini: [intimidated, but the words go right past him] I think I get the point. Judge Chamberlain Haller: No, I don't think you do. Now you're officially in contempt of court! Would you like to say something else and go for two counts of contempt of court? Vinny Gambini: Not guilty? Judge Chamberlain Haller: Thank you. Not guilty plea has been entered for the record. Probable cause hearing will begin tomorrow at noon. Bail for both defendants will be set at $200,000. Oh and bailiff, take Mr. Gambini into custody with them... and set his bail at $200 for one count of contempt of court. *** My Cousin Vinny (1992).
