Johnny Francis 'Spit' Spitieri:
Oh, I gotta get home. Who's paying for my bus fare today?
Richard Dent QC:
You don't need to worry about that now, witness.
Johnny Francis 'Spit' Spitieri:
Well excuse me, I am worried about it! I'm on medication, you know? Gotta pick up me methadone before five, otherwise I don't get nothing 'til the morning. 'Scuse me, your honor, do you know who's paying for my bus fare today?
Judge:
Mr. Dent, has the witness been afforded appropriate expenses?
Richard Dent QC:
Sir, I'm informed those instructing me will arrange a check in payment of Mr. Spitieri's witness expenses directly.
Johnny Francis 'Spit' Spitieri:
A check? Well, what am I gonna do with a check, your honor? I don't want a fucking check. Me bus driver's not going to take a check. I need me bus money, otherwise how am I supposed to get home?
Judge:
Yes, alright Mr. Spitieri. Mr. Dent, I wonder whether, in the circumstances, some appropriate arrangements couldn't be made?
Richard Dent QC:
To avoid further delays, I'll get Mr. Toole to fix that up now.
[Mr. Toole pulls a bill from his wallet and gives it to Mr. Dent who gives it to Spit]
Johnny Francis 'Spit' Spitieri:
Oh, that's only $20. Me bus doesn't come 'til four, I'm gonna need some lunch.
Judge:
I think perhaps, in the circumstances, the witness is entitled to be reimbursed for his luncheon expenses, Mr. Dent.
Richard Dent QC:
I'll get Mr. Toole to give him another $20 to cover his luncheon expenses.
[Mr. Toole looks in his wallet, but it's empty. He shrugs at Mr. Dent, who sighs and pulls a bill from his own wallet and gives it to Spit]
Johnny Francis 'Spit' Spitieri:
Thank you.
[He sits down and folds his hands, looking smug]
