:E0430x (E) TIME CODE: 04:30 /h4/ /h5/ JUSTIN Your hypothesis is interesting. It occurred to me as well. LYLLA (ignoring this) I haven't seen your client. Is she here? JUSTIN (also oblique) She's delighted for her daughter, of course. LYLLA But if she's marrying a con man? JUSTIN I often worry about things that don't bother my client -- as you do. LYLLA One thing confuses me. Granted you are family -- the brother of the deceased -- but isn't this case small potatoes for you? JUSTIN Mrs. Brodey is accused of murdering her husband. Hardly an inconsequential affair. LYLLA But you've gained national notoriety for defending the Mafia, upholding the rights of-- JUSTIN I'm a criminal lawyer, Miss Morrison. LYLLA I take it you're representing Mrs. Brodey as a family favor? JUSTIN She's innocent, if that's what you're getting at. LYLLA Will you be representing her interests in the estate as well? JUSTIN It's your client who contests the will, not Mrs. Brodey. Besides, as executor, it wouldn't be appropriate. LYLLA We contest the mental stature of Trudy in giving everything to the Church, as well as Dr. Brodey's state of mind when he videotaped the will. JUSTIN Freedom of religion has a long and noble history. And my brother, of course, was a famous eccentric. LYLLA Conning also has a long history. JUSTIN You sound like we're enemies. LYLLA But if you agree the groom may have ulterior motives, we might be allies. Tell me, Mr. Brodey-- JUSTIN Justin. LYLLA Justin. Which are we? JUSTIN It's a strange church, I'll grant you that. But Trudy's motives only interest me insofar as she once had a relationship with the housekeeper, Maxine, who testified against my client. Maxine may belong to the church herself. LYLLA Really? I thought she disappeared shortly after testifying against Mrs. Brodey. JUSTIN She may have joined the Church. In which case, she might retain a relationship with Trudy. LYLLA Trudy might be implicated in the testimony against her own mother? JUSTIN Unlikely, but we must test all theories, mustn't we? SUSANNE comes up the steps to the bar. /en9/ TIME CODE: 06:00 ?"Continue" ?"Bookmark" ?"Exit" :"Continue" Continue
