Two things I know is chess and women.

Chess, it has rules, pieces, rooks, knights, bishops. They move in predictable patterns. Somebody wins, somebody loses. But women, they don’t have no rules, man. They move in unpredictable ways too. Nobody ever wins or loses when it comes to women. You just talk about your feelings till all your breath is sucked out your body. ALL men are pawns when it comes to women.

OFF

Everybody sing now!

ON

You can’t live with 'em, you can’t live without 'em/  
There’s something irresistible-ish about 'em/  
We grin and bear it 'cuz the nights are long/  
I hope that something better comes along

Lisa, I don’t need this. I swear to God, I do not need this right now, okay?

I’ve got a judge that’s just aching to throw me in jail. An idiot who wants to fight me for two hundred dollars. Slaughtered pigs. Giant loud whistles. I ain’t slept in five days. I got no money, a dress code problem, AND a little murder case which, in the balance, holds the lives of two innocent kids. Not to mention your **BIOLOGICAL CLOCK** - my career, your life, our marriage, and let me see, what else can we pile on?

Is there any more SHIT we can pile on to the top of the outcome of this case? Is it possible?
