Before you retire to the jury room
to deliberate upon your verdict.
I must add one thing.
I don't want you all to hold against
your fellow townsman, Mr. Benbow here
Because he is acting as council for this defendant.
It wasn't that he wanted to take this case.
He had too as he was appointed by the court.
Objection your honor.
I take exception to your honor's charge.
It is clearly prejudicial to the interest of my client.
Furthermore, your honor's last statement is not the fact.
I had no objection to take this case. On the contrary...
Delete Mr. Benbow's last remarks from the record.
Well, you fix it. We haven't got a chance now.
We never had a chance after that charge.
You may withdraw to the jury room gentlemen.
Come in.
Well, Stephen.
Afternoon, Judge Drake. You wanted to see me.
- Yes.
What is the report on the "Bollow Case"
- So?
Yeah. Your brief was bad law...
...and it was bad morals.
The statute of the state have got to be inforced...
...no matter what we may think of them.
But it is an obsolete statute, sir.
Totally out of key without time.
Now, Steven. You're always budding your head against the stone wall
And when will you stop giving your valuable to every lame duck in town?
Every penniless criminal
Aren't you exaggerating sir.
- Well, you're.
You haven't been around to see Temple lately.
Oh. I've been pretty busy and so is she.
I hope my granddaughter will never be too busy for you.
Thank you, sir.
Stephen...
...why don't you marry her?
Another stonewall.
She said no.
No?
Why?
Uh, I'm too serious, unromantic.
Oh, nonsense!
Now you ask her again.
You know Stephen, I fell better about Temple.
If I knew that she had someone steady and reliable like you to take care of her.
She's a good girl, Stephen.
Do I...
Just me?
Men are so funny.
I said no.
Of course I like you.
...dreadfully.
But I'm not a wrestler.
Hey! You're too rough.
Good night.
Temple.
- Why, granddaddy.
What hour at night is this to come in?
But is it late showin' up? You know, I didn't know.
But it's nearly daylight.
- Ohh...
How? Where have you been?
Whom who've you been with?
Won't you unhook me?
Who did you say you've been out with?
A boy called Gowan. Toddy Gowan?
Gowan? Oh. I don't remember meeting him.
He's the nicest boy, granddad, on his years. He's in m'own college.
So... Oh well, that's alright then.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight, my dear.
Men, that drinkin'.
College men, ain't?
Yes sir. State university.
Hey, have a slug?
What's a glam about it?
I still far because a girl made a sucker of him.
Stop it.
Don't touch me.
You don't know what you're doing.
Just when I was going good.
Who cares if her grandfather is a judge.
You ain't the only one.
Say.
Are you referring to Temple Drake?
- Nobody else, but.
Well, you can't talk about her. Not around me.
Oh no?
- Oh, sit down.
My damns puddy.
They needs me in there.
Ms. Temple is sure hard on her things.
And ain't no wonder.
With nobody step in old grandfather, KC pass his own specks.
If he'd done a laundry, he'd know more about that child.
I don't know.
I've seen three generations of 'em in my time.
They're stiffneck like most of 'em.
Proud and all that.
There's a wild streak in 'em.
Every now and then when often comes along like Temple.
with somethin' bad in 'em.
somethin' wrong
Maybe Temple will get over it, but...
It's not one of them that's had it that didn't end in the gutter.
If I was the old judge I'd marry her off quick.
Stephen
My ball of yarn, please.
Oh sorry, Aunt Jenie
