:28:00
- I would.
- Your witness.
:28:02
Mr. Paquette...
:28:04
the attorney for the people
asked you if Mrs. Manion was ""tight""...
:28:08
and you said
that she was ""high.""
:28:10
Now, speaking as a bartender,
what's the distinction between the two?
:28:14
- I don't understand.
- When we say a person's ""tight""...
:28:18
we usually mean they're a little stupid
with the drink, isn't that so?
:28:23
I guess so.
:28:25
And if they're ""high""
they're gay and enjoying themselves.
:28:28
In other words,
Mrs. Manion was happy.
:28:31
Is there anything wrong with being happy
in Thunder Bay Inn?
:28:33
No.
:28:34
Thunder Bay itself is a resort,
isn't it?
:28:37
- Swimming, fishing, that sort of thing.
- Yes.
:28:40
Is there anything unusual about seeing
a barefooted woman in Thunder Bay?
:28:43
No.
:28:45
So Mrs. Manion's taking her shoes off
in Thunder Bay...
:28:47
that doesn't mean
she's being unladylike, does it?
:28:50
- I guess not.
- Yes or no?
:28:52
No!
:28:55
Now, you testified that
Mrs. Manion was squealing...
:29:00
and jumping up and down...
:29:03
and swishing her-- I think that
was the expression you used--
:29:05
swishing her hips
around the pinball machine.
:29:08
Now, was she creating a disturbance?
Was she attracting a crowd?
:29:12
Were the men at the bar all
standing around watching Mrs. Manion?
:29:15
- No.
- But you were very conscious of her.
:29:17
Conscious enough so that you can tell us
all about her actions?
:29:20
- Yes.
- And certainly Barney Quill...
:29:22
he was conscious of her because
he was playing pinball with her, right?
:29:26
So it seems that only you
and Barney Quill were acutely aware...
:29:30
of Mrs. Manion and her actions
and her appearance.
:29:33
Maybe good old Barney when he came up
to get some drinks from you...
:29:36
maybe he winked and said, ""Alphonse,
I'm gonna take this babe and rape her.""
:29:40
- No, he didn't.
- Maybe you said...
:29:42
"" Do it once for me, boss.""
:29:44
Objection.
:29:46
No more questions!
:29:49
The court's had about all of this
dogfight it can take for one day.
:29:52
And I'm sure the jury
is equally tired and hungry.
:29:56
Tomorrow the defense takes over
and with expedition, prayer...
