Transcript:
Dan Dalton, death row lawyer (Dan Dalton: Your life will be saved... or your fee will be refunded!) Taking advantage of a constitutional loophole that prohibits executing insane people, Dan tries to save his client's life. (Dan Dalton: So, I see that you've been rolling your feces into tiny balls and eating them... I'm also pleased to see that you're screaming incoherently, gnawing your own foot down to the bone and bashing your head against the wall of your cell. Despite your obvious lunacy, however, the clemency board has scheduled your lethal injection for June 19th. Sorry, man, Your mother wants you to have this CD before you die.) (Man: Oh, cool! The dance mix version of the soundtrack to the "ragtime" musical!) (Dan Dalton: You like this?) Clemency comes through, but a new legal crisis looms...) (Dan Dalton: The governor wants to restore your sanity so they can kill you... how do you feel about Robert Urich?)
