Just before the trial...


Dick Morrow made one serious mad dash to the bathroom while talking with Stemple and his special lady. Looked like he had to drop a sloppy, acidic brown splatter.

No man he had just realized his expert witness the smoking gun if you will was a complete yahoo and he was puking his guts out because he was terrified to put this guy in front of a crowd...

As noted by the other reply, Goodwin (Morrow's character) had to throw up because he finally realized how badly Stemple's performance as a witness might blow up in his face, but it wasn't a trial, it was a congressional hearing. No authority to do anything but ask questions and make findings in a report, with the inquisitors performing for the cameras--furrowed brows, "This is highly irregular!", etc.

When Goodwin was prompting and prepping Stemple, Stemple snapped "You're worse than Enright."

It was a nice parallel between the quiz show and the political theatre that congressional hearings are.

It's all show biz.
