that would take in three hungry children...

...just because they ain't got no

place to go and no one to turn to.

Pop ain't got no money. He ain't never had.

Why'd he take in three strange kids?

I'll tell you why, Judge,

it's 'cause he's a good man.

He's always been good to me

and he's always been good to them.

He always will be, too.

Now, that's all that matters here today,

and if you don't know that, Judge...

...you ain't no judge.

Your Honour...

...may I remind you of my findings

in this man's word association test?

He may mean well consciously...

...but his subconscious motivations

are all that really matter.

Well, have you anything to say

about that test?

- Yes, sir. Could I say it in private?

- Very well.

Thank you.

Counsel for the defence points out then,

very correctly...

...that his test has nothing to do

with the case.

It is his father who is

the children's presumptive guardian.

Well, let his father take the test.

I have one right here.

That was counsel's suggestion.

Yes.

That's a good idea.

Mr Kwimper, please.

Did you get light in the head?

Mr Kwimper, do you understand

the word association test?

- The test that Toby took? Yep.

- That's right.

Would you sit down there, please?

Very well, we may proceed.

Ready?

Yep.

Court.

Child.

We're cooked.

Moon.

Election.

House.

Those will be sufficient, Your Honour.

All right. Thank you very much, Mr Kwimper.

You're welcome, Judge.

- Can you analyse these answers now?

- I believe so.

Very well. We'll proceed.

Court. Crime.

Well, that's the simple-minded response

of a criminal nature.

A court is where you go

when you've committed a crime.

Now wait a minute.

Never mind.

Child. Labour.

Oh, that's obvious.

He thinks of children

in terms of exploiting their labour.

Oh, now, really, I think that is...

Your Honour,

I have a master's degree in psychology.

Moon. Shine.

That's an illegal liquor drunk by

illiterate, irresponsible alcoholics.

What about Shine On, Harvest Moon?

That's a song.

What's that got to do with alcoholics?

- I don't understand...

- That's enough.

Your request for a court order is denied.

I don't think you

understand. Any qualified...

...Miss Claypoole, you're the one

who doesn't understand this test.

Those answers were not Mr Kwimper's.

They were mine.

That was counsel's suggestion.

And you, Mr Kwimper,

were right about not needing a lawyer.

You couldn't have had a better one.

Well, this court has had

a remarkable experience today.

It's had the rare privilege

of listening to an honest man.

And it's had a further privilege.

It has heard the history

of a little settlement...

...a little colony that overcame hardships...

...fought back men of evil purpose...

...and survived all kinds of legalistic

and financial difficulties.

It's gratifying to know

that the spirit of the pioneer...

...the spirit that made this

the greatest country in the world...

...ladies and gentlemen...

...it's thrilling to know

that this spirit is still functioning today.

Our government needs it more than ever,

don't you think?

I agree, Judge. I'm willing to admit...

...that I've been letting

the government down a little lately...

I haven't been taking any relief

or unemployment insurance...

...but I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.

We'll get together sometime.

Yes.

Case dismissed.

I knowed it! I knowed it!

Eddy! Teddy! Ariadne!

May I hold you tight?

Never kissed an angel

Let me kiss one tonight

If I said "I love you"

Would I be speaking out of turn?

I'm only human

but I'm willing to learn

Angel

make my wish come true

Let me be in heaven

- Hello, Holly.

- Hello, Toby.

- You look awful pretty tonight.

- Thank you.

Too bad ain't nobody here to see you.

Isn't it, though.

Toby.

I want the truth.

What did that Claypoole woman do

to make you kiss her?

- Oh, you know, Holly. You know.

- No, I don't.

Now, you answer me.

Oh, we was lying on them pillows,

remember?

I remember.

Well, we was lying on them...

Oh, I want you to show me

exactly what happened.

Step by step.

Now...

...you were lying down like this.

And then what?

Then she kind of leaned down

real close to me.

Like this?

She run her fingers over my forehead.

Like this?

Well, not so much like you was

ironing a shirt, it was a little softer.

That's it.

And then she made me

put my arms around her.

Like this?

Then she leaned down and kissed me

and I guess I kissed her.

Toby...

...are you doing that darn times table?

But you know something?

I never got to the 12's so fast.

12 times 12 is 144.

What bothers me

is what comes after the 12's.

Me, Toby.

Me.

Got to fix that.

She's loaded with pressure.
