I may not know so much

of law, Mr. Felder...

but I know what's right

and what's wrong...

and I know what you're asking is wrong.

Put yourself

in this woman's place, Your Honor.

Can you truthfully say

you'd do differently?

But look at her. She's - She's just

a simple, ordinary country woman.

She can't even write her own name.

Yet has she no feelings, no heart?

I've seen Abagail Clay exactly

three times in my life, gentlemen...

and yet I know everything

there is to know about her.

I know her because I've seen...

hundreds of women just like her...

working in the fields, kitchens...

hovering over

some sick and helpless child.

Women who say little,

but do much...

who ask for nothin'

and give all.

And I tell you

that such a woman...

will never answer the question

that's been put to her here.

Never.
