1:07:01
my client is sitting in this
courtroom on trial for his life...
1:07:04
partly because of powers
that this woman claims to have.
1:07:07
Now, in all fairness, I believe
I should be given the opportunity...
1:07:10
to test
the alleged powers...
1:07:12
instead of having to stand here
and take her word for it.
1:07:15
You have a good point.
Objection overruled.
1:07:18
Can everyone in the jury box
see how many fingers I'm showing ?
1:07:28
How many fingers,
Mrs. Wilson ?
1:07:36
I don't know.
1:07:38
You don't know ?
1:07:43
Seven.
Seven fingers.
1:07:46
That-- That doesn't
prove anything.
1:07:49
Your Honor, I can't do this,
you know, at the drop of a hat.
1:07:52
Well, then, ma'am, how about doing
it at the drop of a dollar bill ?
1:07:57
What are you trying to say ?
1:07:59
I'm trying to say maybe this special
gift of yours doesn't work...
1:08:02
unless you're
being paid for it.
1:08:04
Like they say in the army,
''No money, no honey.''
1:08:07
No, that's not true.
1:08:09
Are you aware that in Hatcher County
it's against the law...
1:08:11
for a psychic to set up shop
and charge people money ?
1:08:13
Well, I don't charge money.
1:08:15
You just testified
that you do charge money.
1:08:17
No. I accept donations.
People give me gifts.
1:08:21
Oh. A distinction
worthy of a lawyer.
1:08:25
Mrs. Wilson,
you a rich woman ?
1:08:28
- No.
- Why not ?
1:08:30
If I had psychic powers and could
read the future, I'd be filthy rich.
1:08:35
I'd be playing
the Stock Market.
1:08:37
I'd be over in Mobile
betting on the dogs.
1:08:40
I'd certainly warn my husband
not to go to work...
1:08:42
on the day I know the Reinhold
Plant's gonna blow up...
1:08:45
leaving three little ol' children
to be raised in a carnival sideshow.
1:08:49
Well, it doesn't work
that way, sir.
1:08:53
I can't use my gift
for personal gain.
1:08:55
Except for those, uh,
what you call 'em, donations ?
