Vinny Gambini:
Mrs. Riley, when you saw the defendants, were you wearing your glasses?
Constance Riley:
Yes, I was.
Vinny Gambini:
Would you mind putting your glasses on for us, please?
[Stumbles a bit from Mrs. Riley's glasses]
Vinny Gambini:
Whoa. How long you been wearing glasses?
Constance Riley:
Since I was 6.
Vinny Gambini:
Have they always been that thick?
Constance Riley:
No. They've gotten thicker over the years.
Vinny Gambini:
So, as your eyes become more and more out of whack, as you've gotten older, how many levels of thickness have you gone through?
Constance Riley:
I don't know, over 60 years, maybe 10 times.
Vinny Gambini:
Maybe you're ready for a thicker set.
Constance Riley:
Oh no. I think they're okay.
Vinny Gambini:
You sure? Let's check it out.
[Grabs a tape measure from his desk and brings it over to Mrs. Riley]
Vinny Gambini:
How far away were the defendants when when you saw them enterin' the Sac-o-Suds?
Constance Riley:
About 100 feet.
Vinny Gambini:
A hundred feet.
[Hands Mrs. Riley the end of the tape measure]
Vinny Gambini:
Would you mind holding this, please?
[Goes to the courtroom door]
Vinny Gambini:
All right, this is 50 feet, that's half the distance.
[Holds up 2 fingers on his right hand]
Vinny Gambini:
How many fingers am I holding up?
[Mrs. Riley is squinting, trying to see the fingers]
Judge Chamberlain Haller:
Let the record know that the counsellor is holding up 2 fingers.
Vinny Gambini:
[Annoyed]
Your Honor, please?
Judge Chamberlain Haller:
Oh, sorry.
Vinny Gambini:
Now. Mrs. Riley, and *only* Mrs. Riley...
[Judge Chamerlain gives Vinny a dirty look. Vinny holds up 2 fingers on his right hand again]
Vinny Gambini:
How many fingers am I holding up now?
Constance Riley:
[Squinting, trying to see the fingers]
4.
Vinny Gambini:
[Coming back to Mrs. Riley]
What do you think now, dear?
Constance Riley:
Thinkin' of gettin' thicker glasses.
