1:14:00
On second thought, I don't object.
I'd like the jury to hear her answer.
1:14:04
- The witness may answer.
- No.
1:14:06
I was not given the panties last night
or at any other time.
1:14:09
- I found them exactly as I said.
- Do you know for a fact...
1:14:12
that Barney Quill dropped the panties
down the chute, or did you assume it?
1:14:15
- I assumed it.
- Had you thought maybe someone else...
1:14:17
might have put the panties there
who wanted them found in the laundry?
1:14:20
I hadn't thought of that.
1:14:22
And in the grip of what Mr. Biegler
might call irresistible impulse...
1:14:26
you rushed in here with the panties
because you wanted to crucify...
1:14:28
the dead Barney Quill,
isn't that true?
1:14:30
- No, I thought it was my duty--
- Your pride was hurt, wasn't it?
1:14:33
- I don't know what you mean.
- He's trying to confuse the witness.
1:14:36
Let him ask her a question
she can understand.
1:14:39
Yes, Mr. Dancer. I myself would like
to know what you're driving at.
1:14:43
Miss Pilant,
when you found the panties...
1:14:46
was your first thought that Barney Quill
might have raped Mrs. Manion...
1:14:49
or was it that he might have been
stepping out with Mrs. Manion?
1:14:53
I don't know what he means.
1:14:55
Mr. Dancer, once again I must ask you to
put straight questions to the witness.
1:14:59
Here is a straight question,
Your Honor.
1:15:03
Miss Pilant, are you
Barney Quill's mistress?
1:15:05
No. No, I was not!
1:15:07
It's common knowledge in Thunder Bay
you were living with Quill.
1:15:09
- That's not true. Barney Quill was--
- Was what, Miss Pilant?
1:15:18
Barney Quill was my father.
1:15:31
No more questions.
1:15:33
That's all for me.
1:15:35
The witness may step down.
1:15:38
We will recess for 1 5 minutes,
after which...
1:15:41
we will hear the closing arguments.
1:15:43
If possible, I would like to charge
the jury before nightfall.
