Judge Walter Bryson:
[referring to Mr. Mulligan in the Mulligan vs. Mulligan-Benson case that Nick is using as a parallel example to his own situation]
Well don't stand there gawking, what did he do?
Nick Arden:
He died suddenly of cirrhosis of the liver.
Ellen Wagstaff Arden aka Eve:
A-and they never did find out whether he slept with his beard under the covers or over the covers.
Judge Walter Bryson:
Now that'll cost you $25.
Ellen Wagstaff Arden aka Eve:
Just for a nice old joke?
Judge Walter Bryson:
You heard me - $25.
Ellen Wagstaff Arden aka Eve:
[in a proudly funny manner]
Oh you can't do that Your Honor, I'm legally dead. You think it's nice to take money from a corpse?
Judge Walter Bryson:
Now that'll cost you $25 more. That's 50 you owe me.
[to the court clerk]

Judge Walter Bryson:
You keeping track of this?
Court Clerk Beside Judge Bryson:
Mm, uh yes.
Judge Walter Bryson:
See that you do.
Nick Arden:
But she is legally dead Your Honor. You declared her legally dead yourself in this very courtroom; your decision is on file.
Judge Walter Bryson:
Did I do that?
Court Clerk Beside Judge Bryson:
Yes, yes you did Your Honor.
Judge Walter Bryson:
I did? Well I'm going to declare her legally alive, then she can pay me that $50. Will someone swear she's a live woman?
Stephen Burkett:
[happily]
I'll say she is Your Honor.
