Ted Kaczynski: You know what? I’m sorry I don’t have a television.. I-I’ve never seen your show..
Bald Guy From “Murder One”: Well, Mr. Kaczynski, neither has anybody else.
[ Ted laughs heartily at the joke ]David Kaczynski: Okay, Mr. Cochran.. you begin!
Johnny Cochran: [ stands ] Alright, Mr. Kaczynski, I am outraged! To think that the FBI has the nerve.. the audacity.. the unmitigated GALL to accuse a respected mathematician hermit like yourself! To such a heinous crime! I will demonstrate to the jury that if the hood and the sunglasses don’t fit.. then you must aquit! [ sits ]
Leslie Abramson: [ stands ] Don’t you worry, Mr. Kaczynski. With the defense I have planned, there is no way they can convict you! At least, not at the first trial. Okay. Now, tell me, exactly how long were you and your brother sexually abused by your parents?
Ted Kaczynski: [ confused ] Uh.. we weren’t..
Leslie Abramson: Then I’ve got nothing. Talk to the bald guy! [ sits ]
David Kaczynski: Okay! “Murder One” guy, go ahead!
Bald Guy From “Murder One”: Mr. Kaczynski, I don’t think any of us here can emphasize enough: that I’m the bald guy from “Murder One”. Thank you. [ sits ]
David Kaczynski: That’s a good point! Mr. Bailey?
F. Lee Bailey: [ looks up ] Scotch and soda, please!
David Kaczynski: Uh.. I’m sorry?
F. Lee Bailey: Isn’t this T.J. McDougal’s?
David Kaczynski: No. It’s not.
F. Lee Bailey: Well, I’ll tell ya, Marine to Marine: I’m stinkin’ drunk! [ burps ] I just pulled 15 million stock options to get out of the pokie.. I’m gonna go find me a Happy Hour! [ exits the room ]
Ted Kaczynski: Listen, David.. I appreciate all this, but.. I’ll tell you what, I’ve run up a pretty tight legal defense of my own.. and if you folks have a minute, I’d love to share it with ya!
David Kaczynski: Sure.. yeah.. go ahead, Ted.. yeah.
Ted Kaczynski: [ drops stack of papers onto the table ] There’s Part One.. the Opening Statement right here.. and, uh.. let’s see it.. [ unfolds the paper ] Well, it begins kind of like this.. uh.. [ reads ] “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!!“
