L.A. Law1986

Roxanne Melman:
I appreciate both of you taking the time to help me, but I've decided that I'm going to take the fifth.

Michael Kuzak:
Roxanne, once they have granted you full immunity you have no right to take the fifth. You will get thrown into jail for contempt.

Roxanne Melman:
But they can't keep me in jail for long if it won't make me change my mind.

Arnie Becker:
Did your boyfriend tell you that?

Roxanne Melman:
Isn't it true?

Michael Kuzak:
Well... yes. But a judge can keep you in jail for up to one year before he decides it won't make you change your mind. What's more the U.S. attorney's office could withdraw the immunity and charge you for insider trading and mail fraud. Why go through all of that?

Roxanne Melman:
Because one day this will be all over. I will say good bye to his law firm of McKenzie-Brackman and start a life with Jimmy. So whatever happens to me, I cannot hurt him. I love him. I've never felt this way about any man before.

Arnie Becker:
Doesn't it bother you at all that all those brokerage accounts that Jimmy Markham set up to deposit his stock profit funds were in your name?

Roxanne Melman:
No, because Jimmy is currently in the middle of a divorce and he didn't want his wife to find out about them.

Arnie Becker:
Why didn't he tell you that?

Roxanne Melman:
He was going to tell me when his divorce became final.

Arnie Becker:
Oh, that sounds real convincing coming from a straight-arrow like him.

Roxanne Melman:
I will not testify against Jimmy! I love him and I will to anything to protect him! Michael, please tell the federal prosecutor that the immunity deal you made for me is off.

Michael Kuzak:
Absolutely, not! If you are so intent on putting yourself though this king of a ringer, I want you to march into open court tomorrow and tell him and the judge yourself. Maybe between now and then you'll come to your senses.
