Episode 40. - Tom Robinson, take the stand. - Put your hand on the Bible. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? - I do. - Sit down. - Now, Tom... Were you acquainted with Mayella Violet Ewell? - Yes, sir. I had to pass her place going to and from the field every day. - Is there any other way to go? - No, sir, none as I know of. - And did she ever speak to you? - Yes, sir. I'd tip my hat when I'd go by. One day she asked me to come inside the fence, bust up a chifforobe for her. She gave me the hatchet and I broke it up. And then she said, "I reckon I'll have to give you a nickel, won't I?" And I said, "No, ma'am, there ain't no charge." Then I went home. Mr. Finch, that was way last spring, way over a year ago. - And did you ever go on the place again? - Yes, sir.
