So, how I do?

[Garry Lowell looked at Grace Van Owen. Grace nodded to Robbie Richards]

He can hear.

Garry Lowell:
Your client's telling the truth.

[Mr. Lowell gets up, and unwrapped the polygraph arm cuff in Robbie's right arm]

Robbie Richards:
So how come we can't use this thing in court?

So how come you can't steal second base on a foul ball?

Robbie Richards:
Rules of the Game.

Grace Van Owen:
That's right. But don't worry, the jury will get to hear you.
