Hi, ladies.
1:00:16
Have you got
a clean hankie?
1:00:22
Yeah.
1:00:26
This may cost me my job,
but I hope they fry you.
1:00:32
What'd he say?
1:00:34
Uh, nothing.
1:00:38
All rise.
1:00:42
Oyez, oyez, oyez. District court
of Rachel County is now in session.
1:00:47
Judge Harley Nash presid... It's
all right, Charley, I'm here.
1:00:51
All right, you folks, let's have a
little quiet here. Atta boy, George.!
1:00:56
Now, uh, this is
a case of libel.
1:01:00
Nicholas Simmons versus Luther Heggs, Miles
Beckett and the Rachel Courier Express.
1:01:05
Where's my water, Charley?
Okay, Mr. Whitlow,
1:01:09
you can start it up.
Thank you, Your Honor.
1:01:12
Ladies and gentlemen of the
jury, I intend to prove...
1:01:15
Here's your water, Judge.
1:01:17
Thank you, Charley. Where's
the Bible? I haven't got it.
1:01:20
Haven't you got it? No, I haven't
got it. I left it right here.
1:01:23
Can't run a court without a
Bible. Arnold, you got the Bible?
1:01:28
Oh, thanks, Arnold. Here
it is, Judge. Arnold had it.
1:01:30
Atta boy, Arnold.!
1:01:32
Thank you, Tom. All right, Mr.
Whitlow, you can start her up again.
1:01:36
Thank you, Your Honor.
1:01:39
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
1:01:41
it is my intent to prove that Luther
Heggs did willfully and with full intent...
1:01:45
concoct and publish
a fabrication injurious...
1:01:47
to the family name of
my client, Nicholas Simmons.
1:01:50
I will prove, in fact,
that this fabrication...
1:01:53
is the product of
the imagination of a man...
1:01:56
whose dreams and ramblings
are a danger to this community.
