LAWYER: I do see that the cargo weight changed - a reduced poundage I see - that is odd.

CAPTAIN: It's simple, ghastly arithmetic.

LAWYER: Oh, for you perhaps, I may need a quill and parchment, and a better imagination.

CAPTAIN: And what poundage do you imagine the entry may refer to, sir? A mast and sails perhaps?

ENSLAVED AFRICAN: Giveth us free. Give us free. Giveth us free. Give us free.

LAWYER: Your honor, please instruct the defendant that he cannot disrupt these proceedings with such outbursts.

ENSLAVED AFRICAN: Givesth us free!

LAWYER: If we are to have any semblance of order in this court, your honor.

[Judge slams gavel]

ENSLAVED AFRICAN: Giveseth us free!

LAWYER: You cannot keep crying out 'give us free' or anything else while I am trying to question this witness.

ENSLAVED AFRICAN: Giveseth us free! Gives us free!
