Copy and Paste the entire Script here Hello! I am a lawyer. In Chaucer’s //Canterbury Tales// I was the Pardoner. For a living I get the judge to believe in my side of the story and I am paid extremely well by all of the misfortunate people who get caught in a bad situation. The court is my theater and I sing to the choir every day, everyone listens to me and my stories of the liars, criminals and deceivers. To my co-workers I am resourceful. To my competition I am a con artist and a thief. I grew up a poor boy and had to fight for my way to the top. Every day was a struggle for me to get what I wanted the most, money. The years of hardship have made me a very hard and cold man. I know how to be pleasing, charming and cool. I will be sweet to your face, but once you turn around I will make you a fool. I am now about to embark on a journey to court where I will be representing a criminal, guilty of murder and facing life. My goal is to gain publicity by making a culpable man and setting him free.
