Courtroom Drama and Hair Care

Chutney, why is it that Tracy Marcinko's curls were ruined when she got hosed down?

My answer is I don't have the first damn clue.

Isn't it the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance that

you're forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours

after getting a perm, at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thigh gloccolate?

I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about this.

And wouldn't somebody who's had, say, 30 perms before in their life be well aware of this rule?

Are these really the questions that I was called here to answer?

In fact, you weren't washing your hair, as I suspect you weren't, because your curls are still intact.

Wouldn't you have heard the gunshot? That's right.

And if, in fact, you had heard the gunshot,

Brooke Windham wouldn't have had time to hide the gun before you got downstairs.

You want answers?

Which would mean that you would have had to have found Mrs.

Windham with a gun in her hand to make your story plausible.

Isn't that right?

You can't handle the truth!

You, however, had time to hide the gun, didn't you, Chutney,

after you shot your father? You're goddamn right I did!

Order!

Order!
