"Heaven forbid,My Lord,no" "Then we must allow Mr Perkins to open the case,mustn't we?" "If you could just be a little patient" "Yes,of course My Lord,my patience" "I oblige to Your Lordship" "May I please My Lord,members of the jury" "I appear in this case to prosecute and my learned friend,Mr Morgenhall as I hope you now understand is here to defend the prisoner" "It is My Lord,members of the jury" "This is a shocking case, a truly appalling case" "In the case of the defendant Fowle" "One is dealing with a particular brutal type" "A man who apparently was quite unable to take a joke" "And so it begins when the defendant Fowle advertises for a humorous type lodger" "You" "Win your case,Mr Morgenhall?" "No" "What I should have said was" "It appears,Your Lordship" "Members of the jury" "I should have said" "This poor man,innocent man,stands accused" "I could have got him off" "I know I could have got him off" "It was simply questions of the right words" "The right words to sway the jury" "If only I had said Members of the Jury" "Is there one among you who does not crave for peace" "Don't you all long for a quiet life without jokes of any sort" "Members of the jury" "Gentlemen of the jury" "Have you never been tempted, those of you with wives of your own" "Yes,Sir" "What do you want,Sir?" "Yes,half of mild" "Anything else,Sir?" "Thanks for the change" "Members of the jury" "The case is called to decide" "Beg your pardon" "Let me" "That's right passed" "May I?" "I beg you pardon" "Kleenex?" "Yes,by all means" "Keep it" "Loads of soda" "Yes,Trixie" "Members of the jury" "Before I was so rudely interrupted" "Look at the prisoner, members of the jury" "Has he hurt you?" "Has he done you the slightest harm" "Is he not the mildest of men?" "He merely took it upon himself to regulate his domestic affairs" "An Englishman's home is his castle" "Do any of you feel a primitive urge, members of the jury?" "To be revenged upon this gentle bird fancier" "Do you really?" "Do you really want to put an end to this small seed merchant" "One who in happier days might have passed unnoticed among you" "He is in your hands,members of the jury" "Why not let him go now" "Let him walk out into the sunshine" "A free man" "Poor,Fowle" "It'll be taking this very much to heart" "Hello,Sir" "Hello,Fowle" "Hadn't expect to find you out" "Just temporary I was with the Governor" "Do you have some complaints,did you?" "No,not at all, the truth he sent for me" "You went in fear and trembling" "Well Fowle,he said this will surprise you but" "The Home Office came through on the phone about you this morning" "And" "That's Government Department,isn't it?" "Yes,yes,yes" "It appears that they do, in his words,come through from time to time,just on business of course" "On that old Blighter" "He said quite frankly,he admitted" "It shocked him as much it shocked me" "The drill is" "As he faced it" "Reprieve" "Yes,he said so" "It's all over" "I'm free" "But why should you be freed?" "Hello,there" "Thank you" "It seems that the trial was of no good at all" "No good?" "But why?" "No particular reason" "Mr Fowle,it must be a reason,nothing happens in law without a reason" "You won't care to hear" "Tell me why this Governor, who knows nothing of the Law should have called our one and only trial together no good" "Mr Fowle,you must answer me my legal career may depend on it if I'm not to have wasted my life on useless trials" "You really want to know?" "Yes,yes" "He said that the.." "The barrister they chose for me" "Was no good,an old crock,in his words" "That he never said a word in my defence" "So my case never got to the jury" "He said the whole thing was ever so null and void but I better be careful in the future" "Don't you see" "If I had a barrister,who had asked questions" "Made clever speeches" "I'll be dead as mutton" "Your artfulness paid off" "The artful way you handled it" "The dumb tactics" "It saved me" "I'm alive" "So are you" "I'm free" "To go back to your birds" "Mr Morgenhall" "I think the door is opened for some time" "Yes" "I suppose it is unlikely that you'll marry again" "Unlikely,yes" "I suppose it is not impossible that you might commit some rather more trivial offence" "The man can not live,Mr Morgenhall without committing some trivial offence almost daily" "Yes,I know well,we may meet again, you may need my services" "I may indeed" "The future may not be so black" "The sun is shining" "Yes" "After you,Mr Morgenhall,please" "Oh no" "But a man of your education should go first" "No,you lead the way,Mr Fowle" "Very well" "Yes,lead the way" "And as your legal adviser I will follow ever discreet distance in order to iron out such little tangles as you may hope to leave in your wake" "Yes" "Subtitles by Seglora"
