Episode 19: Spankme, Cummings; The Cross Examination from Hell
by: Gurbir
Scene : A little coffeehouse outside the courthouse. The trial is on recess, and Hiscock is eating a muffin, and talking to a stranger, making smalltalk.
HH : It's a pretty big case. The paperwork alone is blowing me away. Just this morning, I was carrying it all to the trial, and I said to my assistant Alota Fagina, I think I need a bigger box…
stranger : What'd she say?
HH : Nothing. She just blushed.
stranger : Yeah..I know what you mean about being busy. I'm trying to get a band together, but I don't have time, with work and everything,
HH :What instruments are you looking for?
stranger : Well..I play guitar, and my friend Ann Alprobe plays keyboards. She's got a great set of hands on her…
HH (interest is perked) : Really…well..maybe I can help you out…a lot of people don't know this, but I'm a pretty good drummer.
stranger : you don't say??
HH : Yeah..I love to bang the skins.
stranger : Well, we should hook up then.
HH : Well..I have to go pick up some groceries, but you can call me and we can set a meeting. (gives him his card)
stranger (reads card) : Harry H. Hiscock Attorney at Law “Noone can get you out of a tight jam better than Hiscock” (tried to contain his laugh)
HH : Something wrong?
stranger : No..just wondering what the h stands for…
HH: Handson
stranger : Oh..(at this point about ready to explode)Well, Harry Hiscock, my name is Roger..Roger Overnout. We'll be in touch.
HH : Sure thing. See ya (walks out)
