Judge Walter J. Skinner:
[beginning the preliminary proceedings]
Now the matter before us seems to be a simple one.
Jan Schlichtmann:
Your honor I'm sorry but I don't think it's a simple.
Judge Walter J. Skinner:
May I hear it?
Jan Schlichtmann:
No, because the true intention is to place me under a cloud of impropriety in your court room right from the beginning, what they're saying with this motion is that they know the law and I don't that their real lawyers and I'm not they're just trying to humiliate me.
Judge Walter J. Skinner:
You are a personal injury lawyer are you not? I think you'll survive that.
Jan Schlichtmann:
You see? Its starting already.
Judge Walter J. Skinner:
No you've started already.
Jan Schlichtmann:
No I'm on the defensive and their the defendants.
Judge Walter J. Skinner:
Do you think I can at least hear this motion before you tell me what it's really about?
Jan Schlichtmann:
Of course.
