• [during a recess in the trial, Shapiro has walked over to the evidence table. He looks at the evidence glove in plastic. Making sure no one is watching him, he puts his hand over the glove. His hand does not cover the glove. He walks over to his fellow attorneys] 

  Robert Shapiro : [quietly]  Are any of you interested in something other than a conspiracy theory? Some real, demonstrable evidence? A little bit of real lawyering?

  [beat; points over to the evidence] 

  Robert Shapiro : Those gloves are too small.

  [later in a prison conference room, O.J. and Shapiro stand in front of each other with their palms together; Shapiro's hands are much smaller than O.J.'s] 

  Johnnie Cochran : Yes, Bob.

  Robert Shapiro : I tried the glove on in there myself. It didn't fit. It will never fit him! I think we should have him try it on in court.

  Johnnie Cochran : I think it's a terrible idea. What if it doesn't work? You don't make a play in there if you don't know the outcome.

  Robert Shapiro : I know the outcome.

  O.J. Simpson : My hand is bigger than Bob's! Put me in, Coach!

  Johnnie Cochran : So, saying we wanted to, how do we present it?

  F. Lee Bailey : We don't. We get them to present it.
