Mr. Ewell.

Cap'n, l'm real sorry they picked you...

to defend that nigger that raped my Mayella.

l don't know why l didn't kill him myself instead of going to the sheriff.

l'd have saved you and the sheriff and the taxpayers lots of trouble.

Excuse me. l'm busy.

Hey, Cap'n, somebody told me just now that they thought...

that you believed Tom Robinson's story agin ourn.

You know what l said ?

[ Laughs ] l said, ''You wrong, man. You dead wrong !

Mr. Finch ain't taking his story against ourn.''

Well, they was wrong, wasn't they ?

l've been appointed to defend Tom Robinson.

Now that he's been charged, that's what l intend to do.

- You taking his story-- - If you'll excuse me, Mr. Ewell.

What kind of man are you ?

You got children of your own.
