Excerpt from Malpractice
John Devine

28JUDGE (to LAWYER #1): Does counsel have any further questions for this witness?

29LAWYER #1: No, Your Honor. I believe the witness can be excused. (winking at the jury) After all, we wouldn’t want to induce another episode of decerebration in our professional athlete here. (walking away from the witness stand but then turning back to DANIELS) I’m sorry, Mr. Daniels. Allow me to translate. We wouldn’t want you to faint again like a little boy on a hot day at his first little league game. I want you wide awake when Dr. Milford countersues for defamation of character.

30PITCHER: Why you lousy—

31LAWYER #2: Your Honor, I object! He's badgering the witness!

32JUDGE: Objection overruled.

33LAWYER #2: (brings his fist down loudly on the table) Your Honor! Sidebar!
