• Vinny Gambini : Mrs. Riley, when you saw the defendants, were you wearing your glasses?

  Constance Riley : Yes, I was.

  Vinny Gambini : [pointing upward in Mrs. Riley not looking in his direction]  Over here, dear. Would you mind putting your glasses on for us, please?

  Vinny Gambini : [stumbling a bit from staring into Mrs. Riley's eyes through her very thick glasses]  Whoa. How long you been wearing glasses?

  Constance Riley : Since I was six.

  Vinny Gambini : Have they always been that thick?

  Constance Riley : Oh, no. They've gotten thicker over the years.

  Vinny Gambini : So, as your eyes have gotten more and more out of whack, as you've gotten older, how many different levels of thickness have you gone through?

  Constance Riley : Oh, I don't know, over sixty years, maybe ten times.

  Vinny Gambini : Maybe you're ready for a thicker set.

  Constance Riley : Oh no. I think they're okay.

  Vinny Gambini : Maybe we should make sure. Let's check it out.

  Vinny Gambini : [grabbing a tape measure from his desk and bringing it over to Mrs. Riley]  Now, how far away were the defendants from you when when you saw them enterin' the Sac-o-Suds?

  Constance Riley : About a hundred feet.

  Vinny Gambini : A hundred feet.

  Vinny Gambini : [handing Mrs. Riley the end of the tape measure]  Would you mind holding this, please? Thank you.

  Vinny Gambini : [making his way through the crowd to the courtroom door]  Sorry. Excuse me, excuse me. Sorry, sorry. Okay, this is fifty feet, that's half the distance.

  [Vinny holds up two fingers on his right hand] 

  Vinny Gambini : How many fingers am I holding up?

  [Mrs. Riley is squinting, trying to see the fingers] 

  Judge Chamberlain Haller : Let the record know that the counselor is holding up two fingers.

  Vinny Gambini : [annoyed]  Your Honor, please, huh?

  Judge Chamberlain Haller : Oh, sorry.

  Vinny Gambini : Now. Mrs. Riley, and *only* Mrs. Riley...

  [Judge Chamberlain gives Vinny a dirty look. Vinny holds up two fingers on his right hand again] 

  Vinny Gambini : How many fingers am I holding up now?

  Constance Riley : [squinting, trying to see the fingers]  Four.

  Vinny Gambini : [coming back to Mrs. Riley amid the courtroom rumbling in she getting the number wrong]  What do you think now, dear?

  Constance Riley : Thinkin' of gettin' thicker glasses.
