Stand up. Raise your
right hand.

:49:05
Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth...

:49:07
- so help you God? What's your name?
- l do.

:49:09
- Carrie Donohue.
- Sit down.

:49:11
- Miss Donohue, you know this defendant?
- Do l know him?

:49:15
- Hmph! That big squirt.
- None of that now.

:49:18
- l'll haul off--
- Quiet!

:49:20
- Order in the court.
- Refrain from personal remarks.

:49:24
Tell the court what you know
about this man's registration.

:49:26
- Well, my gentleman friend's...
- Face the judge.

:49:28
hired to watch the registration
and l'm keeping him company...

:49:31
when this big squirt
walks in.

:49:33
Well, he don't see me
and l don't say anything...

:49:37
but when he keeps comin' back,
l get suspicious...

:49:40
and l'm just about to tell my friend
that something funny's going on...

:49:44
when, sure enough,
back he comes again...

:49:47
and, this time,
he says he's a bishop.

:49:49
Well, that's too much even for me.
:49:52
Order in the court.
:49:54
- That's what you get for marrying 'em.
- You married to this woman?

:49:56
- What?
- Can you imagine it?

:49:58
- Ever divorce her?
- No!
- Your Honor!

:50:00
May it please the court,
we ask that this woman's testimony...

:50:03
be stricken
from the records...

:50:05
and this case dismissed
on the grounds that the law says...

:50:08
a wife cannot testify
against her husband!

:50:10
- That woman is my, client's
lawful-wedded spouse.!
- Madam, is this true?

:50:16
Well, l married him once,
if that's what you mean...

:50:18
- but l can tell y,ou--
- That will do.

:50:20
- Well, l mean that he--
- That will do.

:50:23
Well. Hmph.
:50:27
Mr. O'Leary,
you distinctly told me...

:50:30
that you had had time to familiarize
yourself with all the facts in the case...

:50:33
and, yet, you take up this court's time
allowing your only witness...

:50:37
to testify, although
she's clearly unqualified.

:50:39
Your Honor, l assure you, this is
as much a surprise to me as it is to you.

:50:43
l ask the court's pardon.
:50:46
Case dismissed.
:50:51
- Tough break, kid.
- Yeah.

:50:54
- Congratulations.
- Aw, you can never
tell about these women.

:50:57
They'll put it over on you every time,
if they can...
