Mr. Zimmermann: How do we alert the Court?
Judge Gilmore: What am I supposed to do? Y'all are boring them to death. Does anybody else want to see that? It says just what I said. What are we supposed to do? God, how are we going to stay awake through two months of this? I can barely stay awake. I don't even drink coffee and I'm drinking it every day.
