- Judge Weaver: Mr. Biegler, you finally got your rape into the case, and I think all the details should now be made clear to the jury. What exactly was the undergarment just referred to?
- Paul Biegler: Panties, Your Honor.
- Judge Weaver: Do you expect this subject to come up again?
- Paul Biegler: Yes, Sir.
- Judge Weaver: There's a certain light connotation attached to the word "panties." Can we find another name for them?
- Mitch Lodwick: I never heard my wife call 'em anything else.
- Judge Weaver: Mr. Biegler?
- Paul Biegler: I'm a bachelor, Your Honor.
- Judge Weaver: That's a great help. Mr. Dancer?
- Claude Dancer: When I was overseas during the war, Your Honor, I learned a French word. I'm afraid that might be slightly suggestive.
- Judge Weaver: Most French words are.
