:44:00
You deny that
you appear at Revere Beach
:44:02
in a flimsy material
that barely covered...
:44:05
I admit
I wore a one-piece bathing suit.
:44:07
I do not admit that
it was indecent.
:44:09
Whatever definition you apply,
:44:11
your arms,
neck and shoulder were exposed,
:44:13
not to mention
your limps and thighs.
:44:15
My ankle were also exposed,
:44:17
not to mention my toes,
knees and fingers.
:44:20
I also notice your teeth
are exposed.
:44:22
Does that make you indecent?
:44:24
Your honor. Your honor,
if you please.
:44:26
This woman has deliberately
:44:27
trying to make
a mockery of this court.
:44:29
I wouldn't be surprise
if those pickets
:44:30
are outside at her instigation.
This frequent disrespect...
:44:34
I object, your honor.
:44:36
Are you the attorney
for the defendant?
:44:39
No.
:44:39
Then keep your seat
or I shall have to eject you.
:44:46
Miss Kellerman,
it's not the intention
:44:47
of this court to take side in
:44:49
what is essentially
feminine thing.
:44:52
You're charged
with indecent exposure
:44:57
to which you pleaded...
:44:59
Not guilty, sir.
:45:00
Your honor, her appearance
at the beach was witnessed
:45:03
by hundreds of people,
including a police officer.
:45:05
I am aware of that.
:45:07
Have you anything further to add,
Miss Kellerman?
:45:10
Yes, your honor, I have.
:45:12
You see, I have been in
swimming competition all my life,
:45:15
and the only way I've been
able to compete successfully
:45:18
is by wearing a man's
one-piece racing suit.
:45:21
After all, sir, you can't deny me
my right to swim, can you?
:45:25
Certainly not.
:45:27
Well then, how is it possible
to swim a race
:45:29
tied up in a corset
and ten yards away of drapery?
:45:39
Mr. Kelleman,
let me remind you that
:45:40
it is not I who was on trial.
:45:43
I'm sorry, your honor.
:45:45
May I please ask
the court one more question?
:45:48
Proceed.
:45:50
Well, do the authority object
to the one piece bathing suit
:45:54
or that the fact the limps
are not entirely covered?
:45:57
I see no reason
to base any decision
:45:59
on the number of piece
on article of clothings.
