What exactly are those 'football ticket stumps' that the father shows?
or whatever they are called? how the hell is that proof anyway. are they just receipts for the game? they could be anyones..
shareTicket "STUBBS" are simply just the tickets. when you enter an event (whether it be the football or a movie) with a ticket, they are torn by the usher and the left over ticket that you're handed back is the Stubb.
shareOK I dont know why the father would have them all though..
shareWell it was all part of their scamm.... either the father actually did go to the game that night and kept the stubbs or one of the guys just tracked them down and gave them to him as faulse evidence as part of their lie.
shareThey could have been stubs that Father Bobby had from any game he had ever attended - and he seemed like a guy who would enjoy basketball games. Remember nobody asked to inspect the ticket stubs: Sullivan never asked for them to be presented into evidence; he would have been the one to do it.
I'm more interested in the fate of Father Bobby's soul...

The stubs have the date of the game on them.
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

No, as the prosecutor, he would have been fighting to keep them out. It was defense attorney Snyder (Hoffman) who would have offered them into evidence. They would likely have been admitted, because the defense does not have to reveal all their evidence in advance, whereas the prosecution does.

He explained all of that...did you watch the movie?
When being questioned by Dustin Hoffman about his claim that he was at the Knicks game with Tommy and John, Hoffman asked him if he had any proof that he had gone to the game: a credit card receipt, etc..
DeNiro replied he remembered that the Celtics beat the Knicks, and no proof, that he always paid cash.
He then was asked if he was just trying to cover for the boys that he loved and knew growing up, and if he had any proof at all that he and the boys were at the game.
He replied that he wasn't used to having his word questioned as a priest. It was at this point, he whips out the three ticket stubs.
Then when asked: isn't it kind of strange that he would have saved all of the tickets stubs, including those of the two boys, his reply was NO, that he made it a habit of saving the stubs from all of the games he attended.
That coupled with the fact he was a priest, gave him credibility in the jury's eyes, that was almost irrefutable.
Right, it's not absolute proof, but they just needed a credible witness to give the boys an alibi. They had already made Nokes seem like an unsympathetic victim to the jury, who was a child molester and therefore could have been killed by anyone.
shareThere's only one 'B' - it is 'stub'.
Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.
That would be "STUB".
