Quote context

[...]

- 'Nothing must spoil it for him.'

- Well, Miss Leander, what is it? What is it?

- Your honor, I object to the tactics being pursued by the district attorney. He's harrying the defendant.

- No! No, wait! Wait! I want to plead guilty!

- Your honor, I don't believe this young woman is well. I request a five-minute recess!

- I want to plead guilty!

- Your honor, please! It must be perfectly apparent the witness has been made hysterical by the tactics of the district attorney! Your honor! A few minutes recess, please! She's obviously not responsible for what she's saying!

- I ask your honor to intercede in this manner!

- Why do you wish to plead guilty?

- Because I am guilty!

- You see, when you work hard for something and promises are made, you just can't just toss it away, no matter what.
