THE GOOD WIFE #105 "For the Camera" PINK COLLATED 9/16/09 29.<br />
32 CONTINUED:<br />
32<br />
Alicia is actually sitting on a bench behind Will and<br />
Clarence at the defense table.<br />
ALICIA<br />
Your honor?<br />
JUDGE CUESTA<br />
And who do we have over here? ASA<br />
Becker and, my goodness, the Deputy *<br />
State’s Attorney. Mr. Brody, how *<br />
are we today? *<br />
The prosecution table. REGGY BECKER in first chair. Tall, *<br />
sturdy, Gary Cooper formidable. Next to him, MATAN BRODY. *<br />
MATAN *<br />
We’re ready, your honor.<br />
Alicia looks across toward Matan. *<br />
JUDGE CUESTA<br />
Strange that we have to be ready at<br />
all. I thought this case was<br />
previously adjudicated. And yet<br />
the Appellate Court found reason to<br />
reverse my ruling.<br />
MATAN *<br />
Not by our hand, your honor.<br />
JUDGE CUESTA<br />
That’s right. Who saw fit to<br />
question my ruling, Mrs. Florrick?<br />
But Will stands. The lawyer of record.<br />
WILL<br />
Your honor, actually we mean no<br />
disrespect. We believe your honor<br />
was given incorrect information by<br />
those trying the case.<br />
JUDGE CUESTA<br />
Ah, good. As long as there’s no<br />
disrespect. And I guess it’s better<br />
to be considered a fool than a cheat.<br />
Alicia sees Matan dart a look toward the back of the *<br />
courtroom. Alicia follows his gaze to... GLENN CHILDS, *<br />
standing by the door. Childs nods sharply to Matan: You. *<br />
JUDGE CUESTA (CONT’D) *<br />
Well, shall we begin. Mr. Becker. *<br />
But Matan grabs Becker’s arm. Let me. Matan stands, as *<br />
Alicia looks back toward Childs: the real puppet-master here. *<br />
