...Very good, witness. Just repeat what you've told me in court tomorrow, and this will all be over quite swiftly. Do make sure that you keep your story consistent.

Are you trying to prolong this trial, or do you simply wish to annoy me? Giving an attorney unnecessary information ahead of time is only going to make us both suffer.

Well, I can certainly understand such a sentiment. I can't think of *anyone* whose company isn't preferable to theirs. Perhaps the very criminals they defend, though I hardly see a difference.

Regardless, you're making a good decision by refusing to speak to a defense attorney. It would only prolong the upcoming trial, and given the scheduled date, I'm sure you'd rather not be stuck in court.
