- Court clerk: [as Curly come up to him] Take off your hat.
- [Curly does with his right hand]
- Court clerk: Now, raise your right hand.
- [Curly put his hat back on and does]
- Court clerk: [points to the Bible] Now put your left hand here.
- [Curly goes to do so but can't because his cane is in that hand, so he switches it to his right hand then does so]
- Judge: [to Curley] Take off your hat.
- [Curly does again with his right hand]
- Court clerk: Raise your right hand.
- [Curly put his hat back on again and does so]
- Court clerk: [Points to the Bible again] Now put your left hand here.
- [Again, Curly switches hands with his cane to do so]
- Judge: Please take off your hat.
- [Curly does again with his right hand and the same charade happens]
- Court clerk: [Getting increasingly impatient] Raise your right hand! Now put your left hand here.
- Judge: [Getting annoyed] Will you please take off your hat!
- [Again, the same charade happens]
- Court clerk: [Through clenched teeth] Raise your right hand!
- [Curly shows annoyance as well as he does so this time]
- Court clerk: Now put your left hand here!
- Judge: [Yells] Take off your hat!
- [Curly does so this time with his left hand and sticks it on top of his cane]
- Court clerk: Raise your right hand!
- [Curly does holding the cane and hat, the clerk grabs the hat and shoves it back at Curly]
- Court clerk: Will you get rid of that hat?
- Curly: [Hangs his cane on the pocket of the clerk, then puts his hat on the clerk] Raise *your* right hand.
- Court clerk: [He does, then realizes what he's doing, takes off the hat and places it under the Bible, then to Curly] Raise your right hand.
- [Curly finally does]
- Judge: Take the stand.
- Curly: [picks the chair up] Where'll I put it?
- Judge: No, no, take the stand!
- Curly: I got it! Now what'll I do with it?
- Court clerk: [angrily sets it back down] SIDDOWN!
- Court clerk: [speaking to Curly rapidly] Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
- Curly: [confused] Huh?
- Court clerk: [rapidly] Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
- Curly: Are you trying to give me the double talk?
- Court clerk: [rapidly] Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
- Judge: [exasperated] Why don't you answer him?
- Curly: He's talking Pig Latin. I don't know what he's saying.
- Judge: He's asking if you swear...
- Curly: No, but I know all the words!
- Judge: He's asking if you'll swear to tell the truth!
- Curly: Truth is stranger than fiction, judgie wudgie.
- [titters]
- Judge: [impatiently] Kindly address this court as "your honor" and take the oath!
- Judge: [rapidly] Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
- Curly: Certainly. What have I got to lose?
