The collards we had last week were delicious. {0}{0}Well, morning. {0}{0}Morning, Walter. {0}{0}Scout, I think maybe next time Mr. Cunningham comes, {0}{0}you'd better not call me. {0}{0}I thought you'd want to thank him. {0}{0}Oh, I do. {0}{0}But I think it embarrasses him to be thanked. {0}{0}Why does he bring you all this stuff? {0}{0}He is paying me for some legal work I did for him. {0}{0}Why is he paying you like this? {0}{0}That's the only way he can. He has no money. {0}{0}Is he poor? Yes. {0}{0}Are we poor? {0}{0}We are, indeed. {0}{0}Are we as poor as the Cunninghams? {0}{0}No, not exactly. {0}{0}The Cunninghams are country folks, farmers. {0}{0}The Crash hit them the hardest. {0}{0}Scout, call your brother. {0}{0}Atticus, Jem's up in the tree. {0}{0}He says he won't come down until you agree {0}{0}to play football for the Methodists. {0}{0}Jem? {0}{0}Son, why don't you come on down out of there now {0}{0}and have your breakfast? {0}{0}Calpurnia has a good one. Hot biscuits. {0}{0}No, sir. {0}{0}Not until you agree to play football for the Methodists. {0}{0}Son, I can't do that. {0}{0}I explained to you, I'm too old to get out there. {0}{0}After all, I'm the only father you have. {0}{0}You wouldn't want me to go and get my head knocked off, would you? {0}{0}I ain't coming down. {0}{0}Suit yourself. {0}{0}Morning. {0}{0}Good morning, Miss Maudie. {0}{0}What's going on over there? {0}{0}I'm having a terrible time, Miss Maudie. {0}{0}Jem's staying up in the tree {0}{0}until Atticus agrees to play football for the Methodists {0}{0}and Atticus says he's too old. {0}{0}Every time I want him to do something, he's too old. {0}{0}He's too old for anything. {0}{0}He can do plenty of things. {0}{0}You be good, children. Mind Cal. {0}{0}Good morning, Maudie. {0}{0}Good morning, Atticus. {0}{0}He won't let me have a gun {0}{0}and he'll only play touch football with me, never tackle. {0}{0}He can make somebody's will so airtight you can't break it. {0}{0}You count your blessings and stop complaining, both of you. {0}{0}Thank your stars he has the sense to act his age. {0}{0}Jem, he is pretty old. {0}{0}I can't help that. {0}{0}Hey. {0}{0}Hey, yourself. {0}{0}I'm Charles Baker Harris. I can read. {0}{0}You got anything that needs reading, I can do it. {0}{0}How old are you? Four-and-a-half? {0}{0}Going on seven. {0}{0}No wonder, then. {0}{0}Scout's been reading since she was born, {0}{0}and she don't start school till next month. {0}{0}You look right puny for going on seven. {0}{0}I'm little, but I'm old. {0}{0}Folks call me Dill. I'm from Meridian, Mississippi {0}{0}and I'm spending two weeks next door with my aunt Stephanie. {0}{0}My mama worked for a photographer in Meridian. {0}{0}She entered my picture in the Beautiful Child contest and won $5 on it. {0}{0}She gave the money to me {0}{0}and I went to the picture show 20 times with it. {0}{0}Our mama's dead but we've got a daddy. Where's your daddy? {0}{0}I haven't got one. {0}{0}Is he dead? {0}{0}No. {0}{0}Well... {0}{0}Well, if he's not dead, you've got one, haven't you? {0}{0}Hush, Scout. {0}{0}What did I do? What did I do? {0}{0}Uh, Dill, this is Calpurnia. {0}{0}Pleased to know you, Dill. {0}{0}Pleased to know you. {0}{0}My daddy owns the L and N Railroad. {0}{0}He's going to let me run the engine all the way to New Orleans. {0}{0}Is that so? {0}{0}He says I can invite anybody... Shh. {0}{0}There goes the meanest man that ever took a breath of life. {0}{0}Why is he the meanest man? {0}{0}Well, for one thing, {0}{0}he has a boy named Boo {0}{0}that he keeps chained to a bed in the house over yonder. {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}See, he lives over there. {0}{0}Boo only comes out at night {0}{0}when you're asleep and it's pitch dark. {0}{0}When you wake up at night, you can hear him. {0}{0}Once I heard him scratching on our screen door {0}{0}but he was gone by the time Atticus got there. {0}{0}I wonder what he does in there. {0}{0}I wonder what he looks like. {0}{0}Well, {0}{0}"judging from his tracks, he's about 6'6" tall. {0}{0}He eats raw squirrels and all the cats he can catch. {0}{0}There's a long, jagged scar that runs all the way across his face. {0}{0}His teeth are yellow and rotten. {0}{0}His eyes are popped, and he drools most of the time. {0}{0}Oh, I don't believe you. {0}{0}Dill, what are you doing here? {0}{0}My Lord, Aunt Stephanie! You almost gave me a heart attack. {0}{0}Dill, I don't want you playing around that house over there. {0}{0}There's a maniac lives there and he's dangerous. {0}{0}See? {0}{0}I was just trying to warn him about Boo. He wouldn't believe me. {0}{0}You'd just better believe him, Mr. Dill Harris. {0}{0}Tell him about the time Boo tried to kill his papa. {0}{0}I was standing in my yard one day {0}{0}when his mama come out yelling, "He's killing us all." {0}{0}Turned out that Boo was sitting in the living room {0}{0}cutting up the paper for his scrapbook, {0}{0}and when his daddy come by, {0}{0}he reached over with his scissors, stabbed him in his leg, {0}{0}pulled them out and went right on cutting the paper. {0}{0}They wanted to send him to an asylum. {0}{0}But his daddy said, "No Radley is going to any asylum." {0}{0}So they locked him up in the basement of the courthouse {0}{0}till he nearly died of the damp, {0}{0}and his daddy brought him back home. {0}{0}There he is, to this day, sitting over there with his scissors. {0}{0}Lord knows what he's doing or thinking. {0}{0}Six, seven, eight, {0}{0}nine, ten. {0}{0}Come on, Scout. It's 5:00. {0}{0}Where are you going? {0}{0}Time to meet Atticus. {0}{0}Why do you call your daddy Atticus? {0}{0}Because Jem does. {0}{0}But why does he? {0}{0}I don't know. He just started to ever since he began talking. {0}{0}Wait, stop. {0}{0}Mrs. Dubose is on her porch. {0}{0}Listen, no matter what she says to you, don't answer her back. {0}{0}There's a Confederate pistol in her lap under her shawl {0}{0}and she'll kill you as quick as look at you. Come on. {0}{0}Hey, Mrs. Dubose. {0}{0}Don't you say "hey" to me, you ugly girl. {0}{0}You say, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Dubose." {0}{0}You come over here when I'm talking to you. {0}{0}You come over here... {0}{0}Hey, Atticus. {0}{0}- You listen to me... - Atticus, this is Dill. {0}{0}How do you do, Dill? {0}{0}Don't your daddy teach you to respect old people? {0}{0}You come back here, Jean Louise Finch! {0}{0}Good afternoon, Mrs. Dubose. {0}{0}My! {0}{0}You look like a picture this afternoon. {0}{0}He don't say a picture of what. {0}{0}My goodness gracious, look at your flowers. {0}{0}Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? {0}{0}Mrs. Dubose, the gardens at Bellingrath {0}{0}have nothing to compare with your flowers. {0}{0}I don't think they're as nice as last year. {0}{0}I can't agree with you. {0}{0}He gets her interested in something nice {0}{0}so she forgets being mean. {0}{0}I think your yard is going to be the showplace of this town. {0}{0}Well... {0}{0}Grand seeing you, Mrs. Dubose. {0}{0}"I had two cats" {0}{0}"which I brought ashore" {0}{0}"on my first raft." {0}{0}"And I had a dog." {0}{0}Atticus, do you think Boo Radley ever really {0}{0}comes and looks in my window at night? {0}{0}Jem says he does. {0}{0}This afternoon when we were over by their house... {0}{0}Scout. {0}{0}I told you and Jem to leave those poor people alone. {0}{0}I want you to stay away from their house and stop tormenting them. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}I think that's all the reading for tonight, honey. It's getting late. {0}{0}What time is it? {0}{0}8:30. {0}{0}May I see your watch? {0}{0}"To Atticus, my beloved husband." {0}{0}Atticus, Jem says this watch is going to belong to him someday. {0}{0}That's right. {0}{0}Why? {0}{0}Well, {0}{0}it's customary for the boy to have his father's watch. {0}{0}What are you going to give me? {0}{0}I don't know that I have much else of value that belongs to me. {0}{0}But there's a pearl necklace, {0}{0}there's a ring that belonged to your mother. {0}{0}And I've put them away, and they're to be yours. {0}{0}Good night, Scout. {0}{0}Good night. {0}{0}- Good night, Jem. - Good night. {0}{0}Jem? {0}{0}Yeah. {0}{0}How old was I when Mama died? {0}{0}Two. {0}{0}And how old were you? {0}{0}Six. {0}{0}As old as I am now? {0}{0}Mmm-hmm. {0}{0}Was Mama pretty? {0}{0}Mmm-hmm. {0}{0}Was Mama nice? {0}{0}Mmm-hmm. {0}{0}Did you love her? {0}{0}Yeah. {0}{0}Did I love her? {0}{0}Yeah. {0}{0}Do you miss her? {0}{0}Mmm-hmm {0}{0}Evening, Atticus. {0}{0}Good evening, Judge. {0}{0}Rather warm, isn't it? {0}{0}Yes, indeed. {0}{0}How's Mrs. Taylor? {0}{0}She's fine, thank you. {0}{0}Atticus, you've heard about Tom Robinson? {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}Grand jury will get around to charging him tomorrow. {0}{0}I was thinking about appointing you to take his case. {0}{0}I realize you're very busy these days with your practice {0}{0}and your children need a great deal of your time. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}I'll take the case. {0}{0}I'll send a boy over for you tomorrow, when his hearing comes up. {0}{0}Well, uh, {0}{0}I'll see you tomorrow, Atticus. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}And thank you. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}Hey, Jem. {0}{0}I bet you a Gray Ghost against two Tom Swifts {0}{0}you wouldn't go any farther than Boo Radley's gate. {0}{0}You're scared to, ain't you? {0}{0}I ain't scared. {0}{0}I go past Boo Radley's house nearly every day of my life. {0}{0}Always running. {0}{0}You hush up, Scout. {0}{0}Come on, Dill. {0}{0}Me first! {0}{0}You gotta let Dill be first. {0}{0}No, me. {0}{0}Let her be first. {0}{0}All right, get in. Hurry up. {0}{0}All right. {0}{0}You ready? {0}{0}Uh-huh. Let her go. {0}{0}Scout! {0}{0}Scout, get away from there! Scout, come on! {0}{0}Scout, don't just lie there. Get up! {0}{0}Come on, Scout. {0}{0}Run for your life, Scout! Come on, Dill. {0}{0}Now who's a coward? {0}{0}You tell them about this back in Meridian County, Mr. Dill Harris. {0}{0}I'll tell you what let's do. {0}{0}Let's go down to the courthouse {0}{0}and see the room they locked Boo up in. {0}{0}My aunt says it's bat-infested, {0}{0}and he nearly died from the mildew. {0}{0}Come on, I bet they've got chains {0}{0}and instruments of torture down there. {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}Young Finch. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}If you're looking for your daddy, {0}{0}he's inside the courthouse. {0}{0}Thank you, sir, but we're not looking for... {0}{0}Thank you, Mr. Townsend, sir. {0}{0}What is your daddy doing in the courthouse? {0}{0}He's a lawyer and he has a case. {0}{0}The grand jury is charging his client today. {0}{0}I heard something about it last night when Judge Taylor came over. {0}{0}Let's go watch. {0}{0}No, Dill. {0}{0}He wouldn't like that. {0}{0}Dill! {0}{0}Dill, wait a minute. {0}{0}Is that the courtroom? Yeah. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}I can't see anything. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}You all lift me up so I can see what's going on. {0}{0}All right. Make a saddle, Scout. {0}{0}Not much is happening. {0}{0}The judge looks like he's asleep. {0}{0}I see your daddy and a colored man. {0}{0}The colored man... {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}The colored man looks to me like he's crying. {0}{0}And I've seen him... {0}{0}I wonder what he's done to cry about. {0}{0}What's going on? {0}{0}There's a whole lot of men sitting together on one side {0}{0}and one man keeps pointing at the colored man and yelling. {0}{0}They're taking the colored man away. {0}{0}Where's Atticus? {0}{0}I can't see your daddy now, either. {0}{0}I wonder where in the world... {0}{0}Scout, Jem. {0}{0}What in the world are you doing here? {0}{0}Hello, Atticus. {0}{0}What are you doing here? {0}{0}We came down to find out where Boo Radley was locked up. {0}{0}We wanted to see the bats. {0}{0}I want you all back home right away. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}Run along, now. {0}{0}I'll see you there for dinner. {0}{0}Hey, Atticus. {0}{0}Mr. Ewell. {0}{0}Captain, I'm real sorry they picked you {0}{0}to defend that nigger that raped my Mayella. {0}{0}I don't know why I didn't kill him myself {0}{0}instead of going to the sheriff. {0}{0}That would've saved you and the sheriff {0}{0}and the taxpayers lots of trouble. {0}{0}Excuse me, Mr. Ewell, I'm very busy. {0}{0}Hey, captain, somebody told me just now that {0}{0}they thought that you believed Tom Robinson's story against ours. {0}{0}And you know what I said? {0}{0}I said, "You're wrong, man. You're dead wrong." {0}{0}"Mr. Finch ain't taking his story against ours." {0}{0}They was wrong, wasn't they? {0}{0}I've been appointed to defend Tom Robinson. {0}{0}And now that he's been charged, that's what I intend to do. {0}{0}You're taking his... {0}{0}If you'll excuse me, Mr. Ewell. {0}{0}What kind of man are you? {0}{0}You've got children of your own. {0}{0}Hey, Jem. {0}{0}Jem? {0}{0}I think we ought to stay right here in Miss Stephanie's yard. {0}{0}You don't have to come along, Angel Mae. {0}{0}What are you going to do? {0}{0}We're going to look in the window at the Radley house {0}{0}and see if we can get a look at Boo Radley. {0}{0}Come on, Dill. {0}{0}Jem, please, I'm scared. {0}{0}Then go home if you're scared! {0}{0}I swear, Scout, you act more like a girl all the time. {0}{0}Come on, Dill. {0}{0}Wait for me. I'm coming. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}We'll go around back, {0}{0}crawl under the high wire fence at the rear of the Radley lot. {0}{0}I don't believe we can be seen from there. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}Come on, help me. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}Don't make a sound. {0}{0}Spit on it. {0}{0}All right. {0}{0}Jem... Shh. {0}{0}Spit some more. {0}{0}All right. {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}Hurry. {0}{0}Hurry. {0}{0}Scout. {0}{0}Quick. Come over here. {0}{0}Shh. Shh. Quiet. {0}{0}What are you going to do for pants, Jem? {0}{0}I don't know. {0}{0}Dill? {0}{0}Dill! {0}{0}You come on in, now. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}I'd better go. {0}{0}Dill? {0}{0}Coming, Aunt Stephanie. {0}{0}So long. I'll see you next summer. {0}{0}So long. So long. {0}{0}Dill? {0}{0}I'm coming. {0}{0}I'm going back after my pants. {0}{0}Please, Jem, come on in the house. {0}{0}I can't go in without my pants. {0}{0}Then I'm going to call Atticus. {0}{0}No, you're not. {0}{0}Now, listen. Atticus ain't never whipped me since I can remember {0}{0}and I plan to keep it that way. {0}{0}Then I'm going with you. {0}{0}You ain't. {0}{0}You stay right here. I'll be back before you can count to 10. {0}{0}Jem. {0}{0}One, two, {0}{0}three, four... {0}{0}Jem. {0}{0}Scout. Come on in. {0}{0}Five, six, seven, {0}{0}eight, nine, ten, {0}{0}eleven, twelve, {0}{0}thirteen, fourteen. {0}{0}Jem. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}What was that? {0}{0}What is it? What happened? {0}{0}What's going on? What is it? {0}{0}Atticus, what is it? {0}{0}Will somebody please tell me what's going on? {0}{0}Mr. Radley shot at a prowler out in his collard patch. {0}{0}A prowler? Oh, Maudie! {0}{0}Whoever it was won't be back anytime soon. {0}{0}Mr. Radley must've scared them out of their wits. {0}{0}Good night. Good night. {0}{0}Good night, Atticus. {0}{0}Scared the living daylights out of me. {0}{0}I swear, a prowler. He said a prowler. {0}{0}Come on, now. The excitement is over. Time for bed. {0}{0}Scout, Jem. {0}{0}Morning. {0}{0}Good morning, Miss Maudie. {0}{0}Morning, Calpurnia. {0}{0}I came to see Jean Louise ready for her first day at school. {0}{0}Scout. Morning, Mrs. Maudie. {0}{0}All ready for school? Yes, ma'am. {0}{0}Scout! {0}{0}What are you going to do with yourself this morning {0}{0}with both children at school? {0}{0}I don't know, and that's the truth. {0}{0}I was thinking about that just now. {0}{0}Scout? {0}{0}Scout? Scout! {0}{0}Did you hear me, Scout? Now, hurry. {0}{0}Hey, everybody, look at Scout. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}Come on in here, Scout. {0}{0}Have your breakfast. {0}{0}I think your dress is mighty becoming, honey. {0}{0}Now don't go tugging at that dress, Scout. {0}{0}You want to have it all wrinkled before you even get to school? {0}{0}I still don't see why I have to wear a darn old dress. {0}{0}You'll get used to it. {0}{0}I'm ready. Oh, Jem. {0}{0}Jem... {0}{0}It's half an hour before school starts. {0}{0}Sit back down and wait for your sister. {0}{0}Well, hurry up, Scout. {0}{0}I'm trying to. {0}{0}Come on. It's your first day. You want to be late? {0}{0}- I'm ready. - Come on, let's go. {0}{0}Bye. {0}{0}Bye, bye. {0}{0}Darn you, Walter Cunningham! {0}{0}Come on, Walter! {0}{0}Cut that out! What do you think you're doing? {0}{0}He made me start off on the wrong foot! {0}{0}I was trying to explain to that darn lady teacher {0}{0}why he didn't have no money for his lunch and she got sore at me. {0}{0}Stop it! Stop it! {0}{0}Is your daddy Mr. Walter Cunningham from Old Sarum? {0}{0}Come home and have dinner with us, Walter. We'd be glad to have you. {0}{0}Our daddy's a friend of your daddy's. {0}{0}Scout here is crazy. She won't fight you no more. {0}{0}I hope that's a dinner that you enjoy. {0}{0}Yes, sir. I don't know when I've had a roast. {0}{0}We've been having squirrels and rabbits lately. {0}{0}My pa and I go hunting in our spare time. {0}{0}You've got a gun of your own? {0}{0}Uh-huh. {0}{0}How long have you had a gun? {0}{0}A year or so. {0}{0}Can I have the syrup, please? {0}{0}Certainly, son. {0}{0}Cal. Will you bring in the syrup dish, please? {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}How old were you when you got your first gun, Atticus? {0}{0}Thirteen or fourteen. {0}{0}I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. {0}{0}He told me that I should never point at anything in the house. {0}{0}And that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. {0}{0}But he said that sooner or later he'd suppose the temptation {0}{0}to go after birds would be too much. {0}{0}That I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted if I could hit them. {0}{0}But to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird. {0}{0}Why? {0}{0}I reckon because mockingbirds {0}{0}don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. {0}{0}They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncribs. {0}{0}They don't do one thing, but just sing their hearts out for us. {0}{0}How did you like school, Scout? {0}{0}All right. {0}{0}Thank you, Cal. That's for Walter. {0}{0}What in the Sam Hill are you doing... {0}{0}But, Atticus, he's gone and drowned his dinner in syrup {0}{0}and now he's pouring it all over. {0}{0}Scout. {0}{0}What? {0}{0}Come out here. I want to talk to you. {0}{0}That boy is your company {0}{0}and if he wants to eat up that tablecloth, you'll let him, you hear? {0}{0}And if you can't act fit to eat like folks, {0}{0}you can just sit here and eat in the kitchen. {0}{0}Scout. {0}{0}Scout. {0}{0}Scout, what in the world has got into you? {0}{0}Not going back. {0}{0}Now, now. {0}{0}Not going back. {0}{0}Atticus, I'm not going back to school anymore. {0}{0}Scout, it's just the first day. {0}{0}I don't care. Everything went wrong. {0}{0}My teacher got mad as the devil at me {0}{0}and said you were teaching me to read all wrong, and to stop it. {0}{0}Then acted like a fool {0}{0}and tried to give Walter Cunningham a quarter {0}{0}when everybody knows Cunninghams won't take nothing from nobody. {0}{0}Any fool could have told her that. {0}{0}Well... {0}{0}Maybe she's just nervous. {0}{0}After all, it's her first day, too, {0}{0}teaching school and being new here. {0}{0}Oh, Atticus. {0}{0}Now, wait a minute. {0}{0}If you just learn a single trick, Scout, {0}{0}you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. {0}{0}You never really understand a person {0}{0}until you consider things from his point of view. {0}{0}Sir? {0}{0}Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it. {0}{0}But if I keep going to school, we can't ever read anymore. {0}{0}Scout? {0}{0}Do you know what a compromise is? {0}{0}Bending the law? {0}{0}Uh... {0}{0}No. It's an agreement reached by mutual consent. {0}{0}Here is the way it works. {0}{0}You concede the necessity of going to school {0}{0}and we'll keep right on reading the same every night, {0}{0}just as we always have. {0}{0}Is that a bargain? {0}{0}There just didn't seem to be anyone or anything {0}{0}Atticus couldn't explain. {0}{0}Though it wasn't a talent that would arouse {0}{0}the admiration of any of our friends, {0}{0}Jem and I had to admit he was very good at that. {0}{0}But that was all he was good at, we thought. {0}{0}See, there he is! {0}{0}Scout, Jem, come on inside. {0}{0}Come on, get in. {0}{0}Mr. Finch? This is Cal. {0}{0}I swear to God, there's a mad dog down the street apiece. {0}{0}He's coming this way. {0}{0}There he is. {0}{0}He's got it all right, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}Stay inside, Son. Keep him in there, Cal. {0}{0}He's within range, Heck. {0}{0}Take him, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}No, Mr. Tate. He can't shoot. {0}{0}Don't waste time. {0}{0}For God's sake, Mr. Finch, {0}{0}he's got to be killed right away, before he starts running. {0}{0}Look where he is. I can't shoot that well. You know it. {0}{0}I haven't shot a gun in years. {0}{0}I'd feel mighty comfortable if you did now. {0}{0}Don't go near that dog, do you understand? {0}{0}He's just as dangerous dead as alive. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}Atticus? {0}{0}Yes, Son. {0}{0}Nothing. {0}{0}What's the matter, boy? Can't you talk? {0}{0}Didn't you know your daddy is the best shot in this county? {0}{0}Hush, Heck. Let's get back to town. {0}{0}Remember, don't go near that dog. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}I'll send Zeebo out right away to pick him up. {0}{0}Hey, Atticus. Can we go with you? {0}{0}Can we, please? {0}{0}Can we? {0}{0}No. I have to go to the country on business, and you'll just get tired. {0}{0}No, not me. I won't get tired. {0}{0}Promise to stay in the car while I go in and talk to Helen Robinson? {0}{0}Mmm-hmm. {0}{0}And not nag me about leaving if you do get tired? {0}{0}All right, climb in. {0}{0}Who's Helen Robinson? {0}{0}She's the wife of the man I'm defending. {0}{0}Good evening, David. {0}{0}Evening. {0}{0}Evening, Helen. {0}{0}Evening, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}I came over to tell you about my visit with Tom. {0}{0}Yes, sir. And to let you know {0}{0}that I got a postponement of the trial. {0}{0}Give things a chance to cool down. {0}{0}Would you tell my daddy to come out here, please? {0}{0}You nigger lover. {0}{0}No need to be afraid of him, Son. He's all bluff. {0}{0}Nigger lover! {0}{0}There's a lot of ugly things in this world, Son. {0}{0}I wish I could keep them all away from you. {0}{0}That's never possible. {0}{0}Cal, you wait until I get Scout in bed. I'll drive you home. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}Jem, would you mind staying here with Scout till I get Cal home? {0}{0}No, sir. {0}{0}Night, Jem. {0}{0}Night, Cal. {0}{0}Atticus! Atticus! {0}{0}Atticus! {0}{0}Atticus had promised me he would wear me out {0}{0}if he ever heard of me fighting anymore. {0}{0}I was far too old and too big for such childish things {0}{0}and the sooner I learned to hold in, {0}{0}the better off everybody would be. {0}{0}I soon forgot. {0}{0}Cecil Jacobs made me forget. {0}{0}What is it, Scout? {0}{0}Atticus, do you defend niggers? {0}{0}Don't say "nigger," Scout. {0}{0}I didn't say it. {0}{0}Cecil Jacobs did. That's why I had to fight him. {0}{0}Scout, I don't want you fighting. {0}{0}I had to, Atticus, he... {0}{0}I don't care what the reasons are. {0}{0}I forbid you to fight. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}Anyway, I'm simply defending a Negro, Tom Robinson. {0}{0}Scout, {0}{0}there are some things that you're not old enough to understand just yet. {0}{0}There's been some high talk around town {0}{0}to the effect that I shouldn't do much about defending this man. {0}{0}If you shouldn't be defending him, then why are you doing it? {0}{0}For a number of reasons. {0}{0}The main one is that if I didn't, {0}{0}I couldn't hold my head up in town. {0}{0}I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do something again. {0}{0}Oh, Scout. {0}{0}You're going to hear some ugly talk about this in school. {0}{0}But I want you to promise me one thing, {0}{0}that you won't get into fights over it, {0}{0}no matter what they say to you. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}What're you doing? {0}{0}I'm walking like an Egyptian. {0}{0}We were studying about them in school. {0}{0}Teacher says we wouldn't be no place without them. {0}{0}Is that so? {0}{0}Cradle of civilization. They invented embalming and toilet paper. {0}{0}That's wrong, Scout. {0}{0}You dig your feet, this way. {0}{0}Look, Jem. {0}{0}Look, the boy wore his hair in front of his eyebrows like you do. {0}{0}And the girl wears bangs like you. {0}{0}These are us. {0}{0}Jem, are you awake? {0}{0}Go back to bed. {0}{0}I can't go to sleep. {0}{0}Go back to bed. {0}{0}What you got in the box? {0}{0}Nothing. Go back to bed. {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}If I show you, will you swear never to tell anybody? {0}{0}I swear. {0}{0}Cross your heart. {0}{0}I found all of these {0}{0}in the knothole of that old tree at different times. {0}{0}This is a spelling medal. {0}{0}They used to award these in school to spelling winners {0}{0}before we were born. {0}{0}And another time I found this. {0}{0}And this. {0}{0}And Scout... {0}{0}Something else I never told you about {0}{0}that night I went back to the Radley house. {0}{0}Something else? You never told me anything about that night. {0}{0}Well... {0}{0}You know the first time I was getting out of my britches? {0}{0}Uh-huh. {0}{0}They was all in a tangle, and I couldn't get them loose. {0}{0}Well, {0}{0}when I went back though, {0}{0}they were folded across the fence, {0}{0}sort of like they was expecting me. {0}{0}It was to be a long time {0}{0}before Jem and I talked about Boo again. {0}{0}School finally ended and summer came {0}{0}and so did Dill. {0}{0}Good morning. {0}{0}My, you're up mighty bright and early. {0}{0}I've been up since 4:00. {0}{0}4:00? {0}{0}Yes. I always get up at 4:00. It's in my blood. {0}{0}You see, my daddy was a railroad man until he got rich. {0}{0}Now he flies airplanes. {0}{0}One of these days, he's just going to swoop down here at Maycomb, {0}{0}pick me up, and take me for a ride. {0}{0}Who's that in the car with Sheriff Tate? {0}{0}Tom Robinson, Son. {0}{0}Where's he been? {0}{0}In the Abbotsville jail. {0}{0}Why? {0}{0}The sheriff thought he'd be safer there. {0}{0}They're bringing him back here tonight, {0}{0}because his trial is tomorrow. {0}{0}Good evening, Heck. {0}{0}Evening, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}Come in. {0}{0}The news has gotten around the county {0}{0}about my bringing Tom Robinson back to the jail. {0}{0}I heard there might be trouble from that bunch out at Old Sarum. {0}{0}Cal, if I need you to stay here tonight, can you do it? {0}{0}Yes, sir, I can. {0}{0}Thank you. {0}{0}I think you'd better count on staying. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}What's going on? {0}{0}Shh. Go back to sleep. {0}{0}What's going on? {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}Hey, there's his car. {0}{0}See, there he is, over there. {0}{0}No, Scout, don't go to him. He might not like it. {0}{0}I just wanted to see where he was and what he was up to. {0}{0}He's all right. Let's go back home. Come on. {0}{0}He in there, Mr. Finch? {0}{0}He is. He's asleep. Don't wake him. {0}{0}You know what we want. {0}{0}Get aside from that door, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}Walter, {0}{0}I think you ought to turn right around and go back home. {0}{0}Heck Tate's around here somewhere. {0}{0}No, he ain't. {0}{0}Heck and his bunch is out chasing around Old Sarum looking for us. {0}{0}We knew he was so we came in this other way. {0}{0}You ain't never thought about that, had you, Mr. Finch? {0}{0}I thought about it. {0}{0}I can't see Atticus. {0}{0}That changes things... {0}{0}Atticus! {0}{0}Hey, Atticus. {0}{0}Jem, go home, and take Scout and Dill home with you. {0}{0}Son, I said, go home. {0}{0}No, sir. {0}{0}I'll send him home! {0}{0}Don't you touch him. Let him go! {0}{0}That'll do, Scout. {0}{0}Ain't nobody gonna do Jem that way. {0}{0}Now, you get them out of here, Mr. Finch! {0}{0}Jem, I want you to please leave. {0}{0}No, sir. Jem. {0}{0}I tell you, I ain't going. {0}{0}Hey, Mr. Cunningham. {0}{0}I said, hey, Mr. Cunningham. {0}{0}How's your entailment getting along? {0}{0}Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham? {0}{0}I'm Jean Louise Finch. {0}{0}You brought us some hickory nuts one early morning, remember? {0}{0}We had a talk. {0}{0}I went and got my daddy to come out and thank you. {0}{0}I go to school with your boy. I go to school with Walter. {0}{0}He's a nice boy. Tell him "hey" for me, won't you? {0}{0}You know something, Mr. Cunningham? {0}{0}Entailments are bad. Entailments... {0}{0}Atticus, I was just saying to Mr . Cunningham that entailments were bad {0}{0}but not to worry. Takes a long time sometimes. {0}{0}What's the matter? {0}{0}I sure meant no harm, Mr. Cunningham. {0}{0}No harm taken, young lady. {0}{0}I'll tell Walter you said "hey." {0}{0}Let's clear out of here. {0}{0}Let's go, boys. {0}{0}Now, you go home. All of you. {0}{0}I'll be there later. {0}{0}Good luck. {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}Mr. Finch, are they gone? {0}{0}They've gone. They won't bother you anymore. {0}{0}Morning, Mr. Sykes. {0}{0}How do you do? Ever see so many people? {0}{0}Just like on Saturday. {0}{0}Where you going? {0}{0}I can't stand it any longer. I'm going downtown to the courthouse to watch. {0}{0}You'd better not. You know what Atticus said. {0}{0}I don't care if he did. {0}{0}I'm not going to miss the most exciting thing {0}{0}that ever happened in this town. {0}{0}It's packed solid. They're standing all along the back. {0}{0}Reverend. {0}{0}Yes? {0}{0}Reverend Sykes, are you going upstairs? {0}{0}Yes, I am. {0}{0}Thanks, Brother Jones, for holding my seat. {0}{0}Please be seated. {0}{0}Come on, children. {0}{0}It's the Rev. {0}{0}- This court is now in session. - Everybody rise. {0}{0}On the night of August 21, {0}{0}I was just leaving my office to go home when Bob... {0}{0}Mr. Ewell came in. {0}{0}Very excited, he was, and he said to get to his house as quick as I could, {0}{0}that his girl had been raped. {0}{0}I got to my car and went out there as fast as I could. {0}{0}She was pretty well beat up. {0}{0}I asked her if Tom Robinson beat her like that. {0}{0}She said, "Yes, he had." {0}{0}I asked if he'd taken advantage of her. {0}{0}She said, "Yes, he did." {0}{0}That's all there was to it. {0}{0}Thank you. {0}{0}Did anybody call a doctor, Sheriff? {0}{0}No, sir. Why not? {0}{0}I didn't think it was necessary. {0}{0}She was pretty well beat up. Something sure happened, it was obvious. {0}{0}Sheriff, you say she was mighty beat up. {0}{0}In what way? {0}{0}She was beaten around the head. {0}{0}There were bruises already coming on her arms. {0}{0}She had a black eye starting. {0}{0}Which eye? {0}{0}Let's see, it was her left. {0}{0}Now, was that... {0}{0}Was that her left, facing you, or looking the way that you were? {0}{0}Yes, that would make it her right eye. {0}{0}It was her right eye, Mr. Finch. Now I remember. {0}{0}She was beaten up on that side of her face. {0}{0}Which side, again? {0}{0}Her right side. {0}{0}She had bruises on her arms. {0}{0}And she showed me her neck. {0}{0}There were definite finger marks on her gullet. {0}{0}All around {0}{0}her neck, at the back of her throat? {0}{0}I'd say they were all around. {0}{0}The witness may be seated. {0}{0}Robert E. Lee Ewell. {0}{0}Place your hand on the Bible, please. {0}{0}Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, {0}{0}and nothing but the truth, so help you God? {0}{0}I do. Sit down, please. {0}{0}Now, Mr. Ewell, {0}{0}will you tell us, just in your own words, what happened on August 21? {0}{0}Late that night, {0}{0}I was coming in from the woods, with a load of kindling {0}{0}and I heard Mayella screaming as I got to the fence. {0}{0}So, I dropped my kindling and run just as fast as I could, {0}{0}but I run into the fence. {0}{0}But when I got loose, {0}{0}I run up to the window, and I seen him with my Mayella. {0}{0}What did you do after you saw the defendant? {0}{0}I ran around the house trying to get in, {0}{0}but he done run through the front door, just ahead of me. {0}{0}But I seen who it was, all right. {0}{0}I seen him! {0}{0}And I run in the house {0}{0}and poor Mayella was lying on the floor, squalling. {0}{0}Then I run for Mr. Tate as quick as I could. {0}{0}Mmm-hmm. {0}{0}Thank you, Mr. Ewell. {0}{0}Would you mind if I just ask you a few questions, Mr. Ewell? {0}{0}No, sir, Mr. Finch, I sure wouldn't. {0}{0}Folks were doing a lot of running that night. {0}{0}Let's see, now. {0}{0}You say that you ran into the house, you ran to the window, {0}{0}you ran inside, you ran to Mayella, and you ran to Sheriff Tate. {0}{0}Did you, during all this running, run for a doctor? {0}{0}There wasn't no need to. I seen who done it. {0}{0}Now, Mr. Ewell, you've heard the sheriff's testimony. {0}{0}Do you agree with his description of Mayella's injuries? {0}{0}I agree with everything Mr. Tate said. {0}{0}Her eye was blacked. She was mighty beat up. {0}{0}Mr. Ewell, can you... {0}{0}Can you read and write? {0}{0}Yes, Mr. Finch. I can read and I can write. {0}{0}Good. {0}{0}Then will you write your name, please? {0}{0}Right there. Show us. {0}{0}Now what's so interesting? {0}{0}You're left-handed, Mr. Ewell. {0}{0}What's that got to do with it, Judge? I'm a God-fearing man. {0}{0}That Atticus Finch, he's trying to take advantage of me. {0}{0}You've got to watch tricky lawyers like Atticus Finch. {0}{0}Quiet, sir. {0}{0}The witness may take his seat. {0}{0}Mayella Violet Ewell. {0}{0}Put your hand on the Bible, please. {0}{0}Solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, {0}{0}and nothing but the truth, so help you God? {0}{0}Sit down, please. {0}{0}Now, Mayella, {0}{0}suppose you tell us just what happened, huh? {0}{0}Well, sir... {0}{0}Sir, {0}{0}I was sitting on the porch and he come along. {0}{0}There was this old chifforobe in the yard {0}{0}and I said, {0}{0}"You come in here, boy, and bust up this chifforobe and I'll give you a nickel." {0}{0}So, he come on in the yard {0}{0}and I go in the house to get him the nickel. {0}{0}And I turn around, and before I know it he's on me. {0}{0}I fought and hollered, but he had me around the neck {0}{0}and he hit me again and again. {0}{0}And the next thing I knew, {0}{0}Papa was in the room, standing over me, hollering, {0}{0}"Who done it?" {0}{0}Thank you, Mayella. {0}{0}Your witness, Atticus. {0}{0}Miss Mayella, {0}{0}is your father good to you? {0}{0}I mean, is he easy to get along with? {0}{0}Does tolerable. {0}{0}Except when he's drinking? {0}{0}When he's riled, has he ever beaten you? {0}{0}My pa's never touched a hair on my head in my life. {0}{0}You say that you asked Tom to come in and chop up a... {0}{0}What was it? {0}{0}A chifforobe. {0}{0}Was that the first time that you ever asked him to come inside the fence? {0}{0}Yes. {0}{0}Didn't you ever ask him to come inside the fence before? {0}{0}I might have. {0}{0}But can you remember any other occasion? {0}{0}No. {0}{0}You say, {0}{0}"He caught me, he choked me, {0}{0}"and took advantage of me," is that right? {0}{0}Do you remember him beating you about the face? {0}{0}No, I don't {0}{0}recollect if he hit me. {0}{0}I mean, yes, he hit me! {0}{0}Thank you. {0}{0}Will you identify the man who beat you? {0}{0}Most certainly will. Sitting right yonder. {0}{0}Tom, will you stand up, please? {0}{0}Let Miss Mayella have a good, long look at you. {0}{0}Tom, will you catch this, please? {0}{0}Thank you. {0}{0}Now, then, this time, {0}{0}will you please catch it with your left hand? {0}{0}I can't, sir. {0}{0}Why can't you? {0}{0}I can't use my left hand at all. {0}{0}I got it caught in a cotton gin when I was 12 years old. {0}{0}All my muscles were tore loose. {0}{0}Is this the man who raped you? {0}{0}Most certainly is. {0}{0}How? {0}{0}I don't know how. {0}{0}He just done it. {0}{0}You have testified that he choked you {0}{0}and he beat you. {0}{0}You didn't say that he sneaked up behind you and knocked you out cold, {0}{0}but that you turned around {0}{0}and there he was. {0}{0}Do you want to tell us what really happened? {0}{0}I've got something to say! {0}{0}And then I ain't gonna say no more! {0}{0}He took advantage of me. {0}{0}And if you fine, fancy gentlemen {0}{0}ain't going to do nothing about it, {0}{0}then you're just a bunch of lousy, yellow, stinking cowards! {0}{0}The whole bunch of you! {0}{0}And your fancy airs don't come to nothing! {0}{0}Your "ma'am-ing" and your "Miss Mayella-ing," {0}{0}it don't come to nothing, Mr. Finch! {0}{0}Sit down, there. {0}{0}Poor girl. {0}{0}Atticus? {0}{0}Mr. Gilmer? {0}{0}The State rests, Judge. {0}{0}Tom Robinson, take the stand. {0}{0}Put your hand on the Bible. {0}{0}Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, {0}{0}and nothing but the truth, so help you God? {0}{0}I do. Sit down. {0}{0}Now, Tom... {0}{0}Were you acquainted with Mayella Violet Ewell? {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}I had to pass her place going to and from the field every day. {0}{0}Is there any other way to go? {0}{0}No, sir, none as I know of. {0}{0}And did she ever speak to you? {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}I'd tip my hat when I'd go by. {0}{0}One day she asked me to come inside the fence, {0}{0}bust up a chifforobe for her. {0}{0}She gave me the hatchet and I broke it up. {0}{0}And then she said, "I reckon I'll have to give you a nickel, won't I?" {0}{0}And I said, "No, ma'am, there ain't no charge." {0}{0}Then I went home. {0}{0}Mr. Finch, that was way last spring, way over a year ago. {0}{0}And did you ever go on the place again? {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}When? {0}{0}I went lots of times. {0}{0}Seemed like every time I passed by yonder, {0}{0}she'd have some little something for me to do. {0}{0}Chopping kindling and toting water for her. {0}{0}Tom, {0}{0}what happened to you on the evening of August 21 of last year? {0}{0}Mr. Finch, {0}{0}I was going home as usual that evening. {0}{0}When I passed the Ewell place, {0}{0}Miss Mayella was on the porch, like she said she was. {0}{0}She said for me to come there and help her a minute. {0}{0}I went inside the fence {0}{0}and I looked around for some kindling to work on, {0}{0}but I didn't see nothing. {0}{0}And then she said to come in the house, {0}{0}she has a door that needs fixing. {0}{0}So I follows her inside and looked at the door {0}{0}and it looked all right. {0}{0}Then she shut the door. {0}{0}All the time I was wondering why it was so quiet like. {0}{0}Then it come to me, there was not a child on the place. {0}{0}And I said, "Miss Mayella, where are the children?" {0}{0}And she said they all gone to get ice cream. {0}{0}She said it took her a slap year to save seven nickels, {0}{0}but she done it, and they all gone to town. {0}{0}What did you say then? {0}{0}I said something like, {0}{0}"Why, Miss Mayella, it's right nice of you to treat them." {0}{0}And she said, "You think so?" {0}{0}Well, I said I best be going, I couldn't do nothing for her. {0}{0}And she said, oh, yes, I could. {0}{0}And I asked her, "What?" {0}{0}And she said to just step on the chair yonder {0}{0}and get that box down from on top of the chifforobe. {0}{0}So I done like she told me {0}{0}and I was reaching {0}{0}and the next thing I know, {0}{0}she grabbed me around the legs. {0}{0}She scared me so bad, I hopped down and turned the chair over. {0}{0}That was the only thing, {0}{0}the only furniture disturbed in the room, {0}{0}Mr. Finch, I swear, when I left it. {0}{0}And what happened after you turned the chair over? {0}{0}Tom? {0}{0}You've sworn to tell the whole truth. {0}{0}Will you do it? {0}{0}What happened after that? {0}{0}Mr. Finch, {0}{0}I got down off the chair and I turned around {0}{0}and she sort of jumped on me. {0}{0}She hugged me around the waist. {0}{0}She reached up and kissed me on the face. {0}{0}She said she had never kissed a grown man before {0}{0}and she might as well kiss me. {0}{0}She said for me to kiss her back. {0}{0}And I said, "Miss Mayella, let me out of here." {0}{0}And I tried to run. {0}{0}Then Mr. Ewell cussed at her from the window {0}{0}and said he's going to kill her. {0}{0}What happened after that? {0}{0}I was running so fast, I don't know what happened. {0}{0}Tom, did you rape Mayella Ewell? {0}{0}I did not, sir. {0}{0}Did you harm her in any way? {0}{0}I did not, sir. {0}{0}Robinson, {0}{0}you're pretty good at busting up chifforobes {0}{0}and kindling with one hand, aren't you? {0}{0}Strong enough to choke the breath out of a woman {0}{0}and sling her to the floor? {0}{0}I've never done that, sir. {0}{0}But you're strong enough to? {0}{0}I reckon so, sir. {0}{0}Mmm-hmm. {0}{0}How come you were so all-fired anxious to do that woman's chores? {0}{0}Looks like she didn't have nobody to help her. {0}{0}Like I said... {0}{0}With Mr. Ewell and seven children on the place? {0}{0}You did all this chopping and work out of sheer goodness, boy? {0}{0}You're a mighty good fellow, it seems. {0}{0}Did all that for not one penny. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}I felt right sorry for her. She seemed... {0}{0}You felt sorry for her? {0}{0}A white woman? {0}{0}You felt sorry for her. {0}{0}To begin with, {0}{0}this case should never have come to trial. {0}{0}The State has not produced one iota of medical evidence {0}{0}that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with {0}{0}ever took place. {0}{0}It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses {0}{0}whose evidence has not only been called into serious question {0}{0}on cross-examination, {0}{0}but has been flatly contradicted by the defendant. {0}{0}There is circumstantial evidence to indicate {0}{0}that Mayella Ewell was beaten savagely {0}{0}by someone who led, almost exclusively, with his left. {0}{0}And Tom Robinson now sits before you, having taken the oath {0}{0}with the only good hand he possesses, {0}{0}his right. {0}{0}I have nothing but pity in my heart {0}{0}for the chief witness for the State. {0}{0}She is the victim of cruel poverty and ignorance. {0}{0}But my pity does not extend so far {0}{0}as to her putting a man's life at stake, {0}{0}which she has done in an effort to get rid of her own guilt. {0}{0}I say "guilt," gentlemen, {0}{0}because it was guilt that motivated her. {0}{0}She's committed no crime. {0}{0}She has merely broken a rigid and time-honored code of our society. {0}{0}A code so severe, that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst {0}{0}as unfit to live with. {0}{0}She must destroy the evidence of her offense. {0}{0}But, what was the evidence of her offense? {0}{0}Tom Robinson, a human being. {0}{0}She must put Tom Robinson away from her. {0}{0}Tom Robinson was to her a daily reminder {0}{0}of what she did. {0}{0}What did she do? {0}{0}She tempted a Negro. She was white, and she tempted a Negro. {0}{0}She did something that in our society is unspeakable. {0}{0}She kissed a black man. {0}{0}Not an old uncle, {0}{0}but a strong, young Negro man. {0}{0}No code mattered to her before she broke it. {0}{0}But it came crashing down on her afterwards. {0}{0}The witnesses for the State, {0}{0}with the exception of the sheriff of Maycomb County, {0}{0}have presented themselves to you gentlemen, to this court, {0}{0}in the cynical confidence {0}{0}that their testimony would not be doubted, {0}{0}confident that you gentlemen would go along with them {0}{0}on the assumption, {0}{0}the evil assumption that all Negroes lie, {0}{0}all Negroes are basically immoral beings, {0}{0}all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women. {0}{0}An assumption that one associates with minds of their caliber {0}{0}and which is, in itself, gentlemen, a lie {0}{0}which I do not need to point out to you. {0}{0}And so, {0}{0}a quiet, humble, respectable Negro {0}{0}who has had the unmitigated temerity {0}{0}to feel sorry for a white woman {0}{0}has had to put his word against two white people's. {0}{0}The defendant is not guilty, {0}{0}but somebody in this courtroom is. {0}{0}Now, gentlemen, {0}{0}in this country, {0}{0}our courts are the great levelers. {0}{0}In our courts, {0}{0}all men are created equal. {0}{0}I'm no idealist {0}{0}to believe firmly in the integrity {0}{0}of our courts and in our jury system. {0}{0}That's no ideal to me. That is a living, working reality. {0}{0}I am confident that you gentlemen will review {0}{0}without passion {0}{0}the evidence that you have heard, {0}{0}come to a decision {0}{0}and restore this man to his family. {0}{0}In the name of God, {0}{0}do your duty. {0}{0}In the name of God, {0}{0}believe Tom Robinson. {0}{0}How long has the jury been out now, Reverend? {0}{0}Let's see. {0}{0}Almost two hours now. {0}{0}I think that's an awful good sign, don't you? {0}{0}Court's now in session. Everybody rise. {0}{0}Gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict? {0}{0}We have, Your Honor. {0}{0}Will the defendant please rise and face the jury? {0}{0}What is your verdict? {0}{0}We find the defendant guilty as charged. {0}{0}Gentlemen, this jury is dismissed. {0}{0}Court's adjourned. {0}{0}I'll go to see Helen, first thing tomorrow morning. {0}{0}I told her not to be disappointed, we'd probably lose this one. {0}{0}Tom. {0}{0}Yes, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}Miss Jean Louise? {0}{0}Stand up. {0}{0}Your father's passing. {0}{0}Atticus. {0}{0}I'm sorry, Atticus. {0}{0}Thank you, Maudie. {0}{0}Atticus, can I see you for a minute? {0}{0}Will you excuse me? {0}{0}Jem? {0}{0}Yes, ma'am. {0}{0}I don't know if it'll help, {0}{0}but I want to say this to you. {0}{0}There are some men in this world {0}{0}who were born to do our unpleasant jobs for us. {0}{0}Your father's one of them. {0}{0}Oh, well. {0}{0}What's the matter, Atticus? {0}{0}Tom Robinson is dead. {0}{0}They were taking him to Abbotsville for safekeeping. {0}{0}Tom broke loose and ran. {0}{0}The deputy {0}{0}called out to him to stop. {0}{0}Tom didn't stop. {0}{0}He shot at him to wound him and missed his aim. {0}{0}Killed him. {0}{0}The deputy says, {0}{0}"Tom just ran like a crazy man." {0}{0}The last thing I told him was not to lose heart, that we'd ask for an appeal. {0}{0}We had such a good chance. {0}{0}We had more than a good chance. {0}{0}I have to go out and tell his family. {0}{0}Would you look after the children, Maudie? {0}{0}Atticus, you want me to go with you? {0}{0}No, Son. I think I'd better go up there alone. {0}{0}Atticus. {0}{0}I'm going with you. {0}{0}All right, Son. {0}{0}Hello, Mr. Finch. I'm Spence, Tom's father. {0}{0}Hello, Spence. {0}{0}Is Helen here? {0}{0}Yes, sir. She's inside, lying down, trying to get a little sleep. {0}{0}We've been talking about the appeal, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}How long you think it will take? {0}{0}Spence... {0}{0}There isn't going to be any appeal. {0}{0}Not now. Tom is dead. {0}{0}Dead? {0}{0}Helen. {0}{0}Boy, {0}{0}go inside and tell Atticus Finch I said, "Come out here." {0}{0}Go on, boy. {0}{0}By October, things had settled down again. {0}{0}I still looked for Boo every time I went by the Radley place. {0}{0}This night, my mind was filled with Halloween. {0}{0}There was to be a pageant representing our county's agricultural products. {0}{0}I was to be a ham. {0}{0}Jem said that he would escort me to the school auditorium. {0}{0}Thus began our longest journey together. {0}{0}Scout? {0}{0}Yeah? {0}{0}Will you come on? Everybody's gone! {0}{0}I can't go home like this! {0}{0}I'm going. It's almost 10:00 and Atticus will be waiting for us. {0}{0}All right, I'm coming. {0}{0}But I feel like a fool, walking home like this. {0}{0}It's not my fault you lost your dress. {0}{0}I didn't lose it. I just can't find it. {0}{0}Where are your shoes? {0}{0}I can't find them, either. {0}{0}You can get them tomorrow. {0}{0}But tomorrow is Sunday. {0}{0}You can get the janitor to let you in. Come on. {0}{0}Here, Scout, let me hold on to you before you break your neck. {0}{0}You don't have to hold me. {0}{0}Shh. {0}{0}What's the matter? {0}{0}Hush a minute, Scout. {0}{0}I thought I heard something. {0}{0}Ah! {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}Wait. {0}{0}Are you trying to scare me? Shh. {0}{0}You know I'm too old. {0}{0}Be quiet. {0}{0}I heard an old dog then. {0}{0}It's not that. I hear it when we're walking along. {0}{0}When we stop, I don't hear it anymore. {0}{0}Oh, yeah, my costume rustling. {0}{0}Halloween got you. {0}{0}I hear it now. {0}{0}I'll bet it's just old Cecil Jacobs trying to scare us. {0}{0}Cecil Jacobs is a big wet hen! {0}{0}Come on. {0}{0}Run, Scout! Run, Scout! Run, run! {0}{0}Scout! Scout! {0}{0}What happened? {0}{0}I swear I don't know. I just don't know. {0}{0}Cal, you go and tell Dr. Reynolds to come over. {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}You all right? {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}Are you sure? {0}{0}Yes, sir. {0}{0}Sheriff Tate, please. {0}{0}Atticus, is Jem dead? {0}{0}No, he's unconscious. {0}{0}We won't know how badly he's hurt until the doctor gets here. {0}{0}Heck, Atticus Finch. Someone's been after my children. {0}{0}He's got a bad break, so far as I can tell. {0}{0}Like somebody tried to wring his arm off. {0}{0}I'll be right back, Atticus. {0}{0}How's the boy, Doc? {0}{0}He'll be all right. {0}{0}Sheriff Tate. {0}{0}What is it, Heck? {0}{0}Bob Ewell's lying on the ground, under that tree down yonder {0}{0}with a kitchen knife stuck up under his ribs. {0}{0}He's dead, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}You sure? Yes, sir. {0}{0}He's not gonna bother these children anymore. {0}{0}Miss Scout, do you think you could tell us what happened? {0}{0}I don't know. {0}{0}All of a sudden somebody grabbed me, knocked me down on the ground. {0}{0}Jem found me then. {0}{0}Then Mr. Ewell, I reckon, grabbed him again, and Jem hollered. {0}{0}Then somebody grabbed me. Mr. Ewell, I guess. {0}{0}Somebody grabbed him. {0}{0}Then I heard someone panting and coughing. {0}{0}And I saw someone carrying Jem. {0}{0}Who was it? {0}{0}There he is, Mr. Tate. {0}{0}He'll tell you his name. {0}{0}Hey, Boo. {0}{0}Miss Jean Louise, Mr. Arthur Radley. {0}{0}I believe he already knows you. {0}{0}Heck, let's go out on the front porch. {0}{0}Would you like to say good night to Jem, Mr. Arthur? {0}{0}You can pet him, Mr. Arthur. He's asleep. {0}{0}You couldn't if he was awake, though. He wouldn't let you. {0}{0}Go ahead. {0}{0}Come sit in the swing, Mr. Arthur. {0}{0}I guess that the thing to do is... {0}{0}Good Lord, I must be losing my memory. {0}{0}I can't remember whether Jem is 12 or 13. {0}{0}Anyway, it'll have to come before the County court. {0}{0}Of course, it is a clear-cut case of self-defense. {0}{0}I'll run down to the office... {0}{0}Mr. Finch, {0}{0}do you think Jem killed Bob Ewell? Is that what you think? {0}{0}Your boy never stabbed him. {0}{0}Bob Ewell fell on his knife. {0}{0}He killed himself. {0}{0}There's a black man dead for no reason {0}{0}and now the man responsible for it is dead. {0}{0}Let the dead bury the dead this time, Mr. Finch. {0}{0}I never heard tell it was against the law {0}{0}for any citizen to do his utmost {0}{0}to prevent a crime from being committed, {0}{0}which is exactly what he did. {0}{0}But maybe you'll tell me that it's my duty {0}{0}to tell the town all about it, not to hush it up. {0}{0}You know what will happen then. {0}{0}All the ladies in Maycomb, including my wife, {0}{0}will be knocking on his door bringing angel food cakes. {0}{0}To my way of thinking, {0}{0}taking the one man who's done you and this town a big service {0}{0}and dragging him, with his shy ways, into the limelight, {0}{0}to me, that's a sin. {0}{0}It's a sin and I'm not about to have it on my head. {0}{0}I may not be much, Mr. Finch, {0}{0}but I'm still Sheriff of Maycomb County {0}{0}and Bob Ewell fell on his knife. {0}{0}Good night, sir. {0}{0}Mr. Tate was right. {0}{0}What do you mean? {0}{0}It would be sort of like shooting a mockingbird, wouldn't it? {0}{0}Thank you, Arthur. {0}{0}Thank you for my children. {0}{0}Neighbors bring food with death {0}{0}and flowers with sickness, and little things in between. {0}{0}Boo was our neighbor. {0}{0}He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, {0}{0}a knife {0}{0}and our lives. {0}{0}One time, Atticus said {0}{0}you never really knew a man {0}{0}until you stood in his shoes and walked around in them. {0}{0}Just standing on the Radley porch was enough. {0}{0}The summer that had begun so long ago had ended {0}{0}and another summer had taken its place, {0}{0}and a fall, and Boo Radley had come out. {0}{0}I was to think of these days many times, {0}{0}of Jem and Dill and Boo Radley and Tom Robinson {0}{0}and Atticus. {0}{0}He would be in Jem's room all night. {0}{0}And he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.55609
