1:38:02
Raise your right hand, please.
1:38:06
Do you swear to tell the whole truth
and nothing but, so help you God?
1:38:10
-I do.
-Be seated.
1:38:13
State your full name, please.
1:38:15
-Harold Lampson.
-Are you married, Harold?
1:38:17
You know damn well that Ive been....
1:38:22
Yes.
1:38:24
-How many years you been married?
-Let's see.
1:38:27
Hal Jr. is 10.
1:38:30
We were living on West 11th Street at the time.
1:38:32
So that would make it in the neighborhood of--
1:38:36
Eleven years, you idiot!
1:38:40
Eleven glorious, wonderful years.
1:38:45
That's right.
1:38:46
Eleven glorious, wonderful years.
1:38:49
Your Honor, I fail to see what--
1:38:51
Im merely trying to establish
the witness's qualifications.
1:38:54
As what?
1:38:55
As a typical example of a happily married,
American male.
1:38:58
That's what you are, isn't it?
A happily married, American male?
1:39:01
Yes, I suppose so.
1:39:03
Stan, look, you're doing this all wrong.
1:39:07
-You have two lovely children?
-Yes.
1:39:10
A house in Scarsdale,
a late-model station wagon, a Great Dane, right?
1:39:13
Yes, that's right.
1:39:14
Therefore, I submit
that the witness is eminently qualified.
1:39:17
Now, Im going to ask you a question.
1:39:21
I want you to think it over very carefully...
1:39:23
...and then answer me
as honestly as you possibly can, okay?
1:39:26
Yeah.
1:39:27
-Do you believe in marriage?
-What?
1:39:30
Do you believe in marriage as an institution?
Do you believe in it?
1:39:35
Hell, yes, sure, of course I believe in it!
1:39:38
What kind of a question is that anyway?
1:39:41
From where I sit, which you said
may well be an electric chair...
1:39:44
...it's rather a central one, Id say.
1:39:46
However, let me put it to you
a slightly different way.
1:39:51
Let us assume for a moment...
1:39:54
...that this dot I have just drawn is a button.
