Roy

If you lay that tough-man shit on Aaron again, I will kick your ****in' ass to Sunday!

Roy
[about Aaron]

Hell, he couldn't kick his own ass.

Roy

I got you now. You're the lawyer. You're his lawyer, ain't you? With your fancy suit. I heard about you. Well, my, my, you sure **** this one up, counselor. Sounds to me like they're gonna shoot old Aaron so full of poison it'll come out his eyes!

Roy

He come crying to me like always, stuttering and whining. "I ca-can't take it no more, Roy. You g-got to help me". I said, "Shut your mouth, you little girl! Grow up. Be a man. Take care of yourself".

No further questions your honor.

Roy

Where the hell do you think you're going?

Excuse me?

Roy

Hey you look at me when I'm talkin' to you, bitch!

Mr. Stampler!

Roy

**** you, lady! Come here!

[Roy jumps over the witness stand and grabs Janet and punches Martin]

Bailiff!

Roy

You wanna play rough, let's play rough. Come on, lets play rough!

Roy
[Bailiff and secruity slowly walk toward Roy]

Yeah, keep comin' closer asshole, don't think I won't break her ****in' neck!

Roy, come on. I got...

Roy

**** you, Marty! I'm walkin' outta slowly. Really slow.

Aaron

Mr. Vail, will you t-tell Miss Venable I'm sorry? Tell her I hope her neck is OK.

[Martin walks away and comes back realizing what Aaron said]

What did you just say?

Aaron

What?

You told me you don't remember. You black out. So how do you know about her neck?

Aaron
[pauses and stammers, then starts clapping]

Well... good for you, Marty. I was gonna let it go. You were looking so happy just now, I was thinking "hmmmm'? To tell you the truth, I'm glad you figured it. 'Cause I have been dyin' to tell you! I just didn't know who you'd wanna hear it from. Aaron or Roy or Roy or Aaron. Well I'll let you on a lil' secret, a client-attorney kind of secret. It don't matter who you hear it from, it's the same story! [stammering, like Aaron] I j-j-just had to kill Linda, Mr. Vail, that **** just got what she deserved. But... [speaking normally, like Roy] cuttin' up that son of a bitch Rushman? That was just a ****in' work of art! [Laughs]

You're good. You are really good.

Roy

Yeah I did get caught though didn't I?

Marty

So there never...there never was a Roy?

Roy

Jesus Christ, Marty. If that's what you think, I'm disappointed in you. There never was an Aaron, counselor. [winks] Come on, I thought you had it figured there at the end. The way you put me on the stand like that, that was brilliant. The whole "act-like-a-man" thing. I knew what you wanted. It was like we were dancing, Marty!

[walking away]

Guard!

Roy

Don't be like that, Marty. We did it, man. We **** did it. We're a great team, you and me. You think I could've done this without you? [Martin continues walking out] You're feeling angry because you started to care about old Aaron, but... love hurts, Marty. What can I say? I'm just kidding, bud! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings! What else was I supposed to do?! You'll thank me down the road, 'cause this'll toughen you up, Martin Vail! You hear me? That's a promise!
