D.A. Jim Trotter:
Now, uh, Ms. Vito, being an expert on general automotive knowledge, can you tell me... what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet, with a 327 cubic-inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor?
Mona Lisa Vito:
It's a bullshit question.
D.A. Jim Trotter:
Does that mean that you can't answer it?
Mona Lisa Vito:
It's a bullshit question, it's impossible to answer.
D.A. Jim Trotter:
Impossible because you don't know the answer!
Mona Lisa Vito:
Nobody could answer that question!
D.A. Jim Trotter:
Your Honor, I move to disqualify Ms. Vito as a "expert witness"!
Judge Chamberlain Haller:
Can you answer the question?
Mona Lisa Vito:
No, it is a trick question!
Judge Chamberlain Haller:
Why is it a trick question?
Vinny Gambini:
[to Bill]
Watch this.
Mona Lisa Vito:
'Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center.
D.A. Jim Trotter:
Well... um... she's acceptable, Your Honor.

Now, uh... Miss Vito.
Being an expert on general automotive knowledge...
...can you tell me...
...what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet...
...with a 327 cubic-inch engine...
...and a four-barrel carburettor?
- That's a bullshit question. - Does that mean that you can't answer it?
It's impossible to answer.
- Because you don't know the answer! - Nobody could answer that question.
Your Honour, I move to disqualify Miss Vito as a expert witness.
- Can you answer the question? - No. It is a trick question.
Why is it a trick question?
- Watch this. - Cos Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55.
The 327 didn't come out till '62.
And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64.
However, in 1964 the correct ignition timing...
...would be four degrees before top, dead centre.
Well... Uh...
She's acceptable, Your Honour.
Your Honour, this is a picture taken by my fiancée outside the Sac-o-Suds.
Can we agree on this?
- Yeah. - Thank you.
I'd like to submit this picture of the tyre tracks as evidence.
Mr Trotter.
No objection, Your Honour.
- Miss Vito. Did you take this picture? - You know I did.
- And what is this picture of? - You know what it's of.
Miss Vito, it has been argued by me, the defence...
...that two sets of guys met up at the Sac-o-Suds, at the same time...
...driving identical metallic mint-green 1964 Buick Skylark convertibles.
Now, can you tell us, by what you see in this picture...
...if the defence's case holds water?
Miss Vito. Please answer the question.
Does the defence's case hold water?
No.
- The defence is wrong. - (murmuring)
