"How long have you had a gun?" "A year or so." "Can I have the syrup, please?" "Certainly, son." "Cal." "Will you bring in" "Yes, sir." "How old were you when you got" "Thirteen or fourteen." "I remember when my daddy" "He told me that I should never" "And that he'd rather I'd shoot" "But he said that sooner or later to go after birds" "That I could shoot all the blue" "But to remember it was a sin" "Why?" "I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but" "They don't eat people's gardens," "They don't do one thing, but just" "How did you like school, Scout?" "All right." "Thank you, Cal." "What in the Sam Hill" "But, Atticus, he's gone and and now he's pouring it" "Scout." "What?" "Come out here." "That boy is your company and if he wants to eat up that" "And if you can't act you can just sit here" "Scout." "Scout." "Scout, what in the world" "Not going back." "Now, now." "Not going back." "Atticus, I'm not going" "Scout, it's just the first day." "I don't care." "My teacher got mad and said you were teaching me to" "Then acted like a fool and tried to give when everybody knows Cunninghams" "Any fool could have" "Well..." "Maybe she's just nervous." "After all, teaching school" "Oh, Atticus." "Now, wait a minute." "If you just learn you'll get along a lot better" "You never really until you consider things" "Sir?" "Until you climb inside of his" "But if I keep going to school," "Scout?" "Do you know what" "Bending the law?" "Uh..." "No." "It's an agreement" "Here is the way it works." "You concede the necessity and we'll keep right on just as we always have." "Is that a bargain?" "There just didn't seem" "Atticus couldn't explain." "Though it wasn't a talent the admiration of" "Jem and I had to admit" "But that was all he was" "See, there he is!" "Scout, Jem, come on inside." "Come on, get in." "Mr. Finch?" "This is Cal." "I swear to God, there's a mad" "He's coming this way." "There he is." "He's got it all right," "Stay inside, Son." "He's within range, Heck." "Take him, Mr. Finch." "No, Mr. Tate." "Don't waste time." "For God's sake, he's got to be killed right" "Look where he is." "I haven't shot a gun in years." "I'd feel mighty comfortable" "Don't go near that dog," "He's just as dangerous" "Yes, sir." "Atticus?" "Yes, Son." "Nothing." "What's the matter, boy?" "Didn't you know your daddy is" "Hush, Heck." "Remember," "Yes, sir." "I'll send Zeebo out" "Hey, Atticus." "Can we, please?" "Can we?" "No." "I have to go to the country on" "No, not me." "Promise to stay in the car while I" "Mmm-hmm." "And not nag me about leaving" "All right, climb in." "Who's Helen Robinson?" "She's the wife of" "Good evening, David." "Evening." "Evening, Helen." "Evening, Mr. Finch." "I came over to tell you" "Yes, sir." "that I got a postponement" "Give things a chance" "Would you tell my daddy" "You nigger lover." "No need to be afraid of him," "Nigger lover!" "There's a lot of ugly" "I wish I could keep" "That's never possible." "Cal, you wait until I get Scout in bed." "Yes, sir." "Jem, would you mind staying here" "No, sir." "Night, Jem." "Night, Cal." "Atticus!" "Atticus!" "Atticus!" "Atticus had promised me if he ever heard of" "I was far too old and too big and the sooner the better off" "I soon forgot." "Cecil Jacobs made me forget." "What is it, Scout?" "Atticus, do you defend niggers?" "Don't say "nigger," Scout." "I didn't say it." "Cecil Jacobs did." "Scout," "I had to, Atticus, he..." "I don't care what" "I forbid you to fight." "Yes, sir." "Anyway, I'm simply defending" "Scout, there are some things that you're not" "There's been some to the effect that I shouldn't do" "If you shouldn't be defending" "For a number of reasons." "The main one is" "I couldn't hold" "I couldn't even tell you or Jem" "Oh, Scout." "You're going to hear some ugly" "But I want you to that you won't get no matter what they say to you." "Yes, sir." "What're you doing?" "I'm walking like an Egyptian." "We were studying" "Teacher says we wouldn't" "Is that so?" "Cradle of civilization." "That's wrong, Scout." "You dig your feet, this way." "Look, Jem." "Look, the boy wore his hair in" "And the girl" "These are us." "Jem, are you awake?" "Go back to bed." "I can't go to sleep." "Go back to bed." "What you got in the box?" "Nothing." "Go back to bed." "Come on." "If I show you, will you swear" "I swear." "Cross your heart." "I found all of these in the knothole of that old" "This is a spelling medal." "They used to award these in before we were born." "And another time I found this." "And this." "And Scout..." "Something else that night I went back" "Something else?" "You never told" "Well..." "You know the first time I was" "Uh-huh." "They was all in a tangle," "Well, when I went back though, they were folded sort of like they" "It was to be a long time before Jem and I" "School finally ended and so did Dill." "Good morning." "My, you're up" "I've been up since 4:00." "4:00?" "Yes." "I always get up at 4:00." "You see, my daddy was a" "Now he flies airplanes." "One of these days, he's just going pick me up," "Who's that in the car" "Tom Robinson, Son." "Where's he been?" "In the Abbotsville jail." "Why?" "The sheriff thought" "They're bringing him because his trial is tomorrow." "Good evening, Heck." "Evening, Mr. Finch." "Come in." "The news has gotten about my bringing Tom" "I heard there might be trouble" "Cal, if I need you to stay" "Yes, sir, I can." "Thank you." "I think you'd better" "Yes, sir." "What's going on?" "Shh." "Go back to sleep." "What's going on?" "Shh." "Hey, there's his car." "See, there he is, over there." "No, Scout, don't go to him." "I just wanted to see where he" "He's all right." "He in there, Mr. Finch?" "He is." "He's asleep." "You know what we want." "Get aside from that door," "Walter," "I think you ought to turn right" "Heck Tate's" "No, he ain't." "Heck and his bunch is out chasing" "We knew he was" "You ain't never thought about" "I thought about it." "I can't see Atticus." "That changes things..." "Atticus!" "Hey, Atticus." "Jem, go home, and take Scout" "Son, I said, go home." "No, sir." "I'll send him home!" "Don't you touch him." "That'll do, Scout." "Ain't nobody gonna" "Now, you get them" "Jem, I want you" "No, sir." "I tell you, I ain't going." "Hey, Mr. Cunningham." "I said, hey," "How's your entailment" "Don't you remember me," "I'm Jean Louise Finch." "You brought us some hickory nuts" "We had a talk." "I went and got my daddy" "I go to school with your boy." "He's a nice boy." "You know something," "Entailments are bad." "Atticus, I was just saying to Mr but not to worry." "What's the matter?" "I sure meant no harm," "No harm taken, young lady." "I'll tell Walter" "Let's clear out of here." "Let's go, boys." "Now, you go home." "I'll be there later." "Good luck." "Come on." "Mr. Finch, are they gone?" "They've gone." "Morning, Mr. Sykes." "How do you do?" "Just like on Saturday." "Where you going?" "I can't stand it any longer." "You'd better not." "I don't care if he did." "I'm not going to miss that ever happened" "It's packed solid." "Reverend." "Yes?" "Reverend Sykes," "Yes, I am." "Thanks, Brother Jones," "Please be seated." "Come on, children." "It's the Rev." " This court is now in session." "On the night of August 21," "I was just leaving my office" "Mr. Ewell came in." "Very excited, he was, and he said to that his girl had been raped." "I got to my car and went out" "She was pretty well beat up." "I asked her if Tom Robinson" "She said, "Yes, he had."" "I asked if he'd" "She said, "Yes, he did."" "That's all there was to it." "Thank you." "Did anybody" "No, sir." "I didn't think" "She was pretty well beat up." "Sheriff, you say she" "In what way?" "She was beaten around the head." "There were bruises" "She had a black eye starting." "Which eye?" "Let's see, it was her left." "Now, was that..." "Was that her left, facing you, or" "Yes, that would make it" "It was her right eye," "She was beaten up on" "Which side, again?" "Her right side." "She had bruises on her arms." "And she showed me her neck." "There were definite finger" "All around her neck, at the" "I'd say they were all around." "The witness may be seated." "Robert E. Lee Ewell." "Place your hand" "Do you solemnly swear to tell and nothing but the truth," "I do." "Now, Mr. Ewell, will you tell us, just in your own" "Late that night," "I was coming in from the woods, and I heard Mayella screaming" "So, I dropped my kindling and but I run into the fence." "But when I got loose," "I run up to the window, and" "What did you do after" "I ran around the house but he done run through the" "But I seen who it was," "I seen him!" "And I run in the house and poor Mayella was lying" "Then I run for Mr. Tate" "Mmm-hmm." "Thank you, Mr. Ewell." "Would you mind if I just ask you" "No, sir, Mr. Finch," "Folks were doing a lot" "Let's see, now." "You say that you ran into the you ran inside, you ran to Mayella," "Did you, during all this" "There wasn't no need to." "Now, Mr. Ewell, you've heard" "Do you agree with his description" "I agree with everything" "Her eye was blacked." "Mr. Ewell, can you..." "Can you read and write?" "Yes, Mr. Finch." "Good." "Then will you write" "Right there." "Show us." "Now what's so interesting?" "You're left-handed," "What's that got to do with it, Judge?" "That Atticus Finch, he's trying" "You've got to watch tricky" "Quiet, sir." "The witness may take his seat." "Mayella Violet Ewell." "Put your hand on" "Solemnly swear to tell the and nothing but the truth," "Sit down, please." "Now, Mayella, suppose you tell us" "Well, sir..." "Sir," "I was sitting on the porch" "There was this old and I said," ""You come in here, boy, and bust up this" "So, he come on in the yard and I go in the house" "And I turn around, and" "I fought and hollered, and he hit me again and again." "And the next thing I knew," "Papa was in the room," ""Who done it?"" "Thank you, Mayella." "Your witness, Atticus." "Miss Mayella, is your father good to you?" "I mean, is he easy" "Does tolerable." "Except when he's drinking?" "When he's riled," "My pa's never touched a" "You say that you asked Tom" "What was it?" "A chifforobe." "Was that the first time that you ever" "Yes." "Didn't you ever ask him to" "I might have." "But can you remember" "No." "You say," ""He caught me, he choked me," ""and took advantage of me,"" "Do you remember him" "No, I don't recollect if he hit me." "I mean, yes, he hit me!" "Thank you." "Will you identify" "Most certainly will." "Tom, will you stand up, please?" "Let Miss Mayella have a" "Tom, will you catch this," "Thank you." "Now, then, this time, will you please catch" "I can't, sir." "Why can't you?" "I can't use my" "I got it caught in a cotton" "All my muscles were tore loose." "Is this the man who raped you?" "Most certainly is." "How?" "I don't know how." "He just done it." "You have testified and he beat you." "You didn't say that he sneaked up but that you turned around and there he was." "Do you want to tell us" "I've got something to say!" "And then I ain't" "He took advantage of me." "And if you fine, ain't going to do then you're just a bunch of lousy," "The whole bunch of you!" "And your fancy airs" "Your "ma'am-ing"" "it don't come to nothing," "Sit down, there." "Poor girl." "Atticus?" "Mr. Gilmer?" "The State rests, Judge." "Tom Robinson, take the stand." "Put your hand on the Bible." "Do you solemnly swear to tell and nothing but the truth," "I do." "Now, Tom..." "Were you acquainted" "Yes, sir." "I had to pass her place going to" "Is there any other way to go?" "No, sir, none as I know of." "And did she ever speak to you?" "Yes, sir." "I'd tip my hat when I'd go by." "One day she asked me bust up a chifforobe for her." "She gave me the hatchet" "And then she said, "I reckon I'll" "And I said, "No, ma'am," "Then I went home." "Mr. Finch, that was way last" "And did you ever go" "Yes, sir." "When?" "I went lots of times." "Seemed like every time she'd have some little" "Chopping kindling and" "Tom, what happened to you on the evening" "Mr. Finch," "I was going home as" "When I passed the Ewell place," "Miss Mayella was on the porch," "She said for me to come there" "I went inside the fence and I looked around for but I didn't see nothing." "And then she said she has a door" "So I follows her inside and it looked all right." "Then she shut the door." "All the time I was wondering" "Then it come to me, there was" "And I said, "Miss Mayella," "And she said they all" "She said it took her a slap but she done it," "What did you say then?" "I said something like," ""Why, Miss Mayella, it's right" "And she said," "Well, I said I best be going," "And she said, oh, yes, I could." "And I asked her, "What?"" "And she said to just step and get that box down" "So I done like she told me and I was reaching and the next thing I know, she grabbed me around the legs." "She scared me so bad, I hopped" "That was the only thing, the only furniture" "Mr. Finch, I swear," "And what happened after you" "Tom?" "You've sworn to tell" "Will you do it?" "What happened after that?" "Mr. Finch," "I got down off the chair and she sort of jumped on me." "She hugged me around the waist." "She reached up and" "She said she had never kissed and she might as well kiss me." "She said for me" "And I said, "Miss Mayella," "And I tried to run." "Then Mr. Ewell cussed and said he's going" "What happened after that?" "I was running so fast," "Tom, did you rape" "I did not, sir." "Did you harm her in any way?" "I did not, sir." "Robinson, you're pretty good at and kindling with" "Strong enough to choke the and sling her to the floor?" "I've never done that, sir." "But you're strong enough to?" "I reckon so, sir." "Mmm-hmm." "How come you were so all-fired" "Looks like she didn't have" "Like I said..." "With Mr. Ewell and seven" "You did all this chopping and" "You're a mighty" "Did all that for not one penny." "Yes, sir." "I felt right sorry for her." "You felt sorry for her?" "A white woman?" "You felt sorry for her." "To begin with, this case should never" "The State has not produced that the crime ever took place." "It has relied instead upon the whose evidence has not only been on cross-examination, but has been flatly" "There is circumstantial that Mayella Ewell by someone who led, almost" "And Tom Robinson now sits before with the only good his right." "I have nothing for the chief witness" "She is the victim of cruel" "But my pity does as to her putting which she has done in an effort" "I say "guilt," gentlemen, because it was guilt" "She's committed no crime." "She has merely broken a rigid and" "A code so severe, that whoever as unfit to live with." "She must destroy the evidence" "But, what was the evidence" "Tom Robinson, a human being."
