Jim Trotter:
Now, uh, Ms. Vito, bein’ 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?
Lisa:
(scoffing) That's a bullshit question.
Jim Trotter:
Does that mean that you can't answer it?
Lisa:
It's a bullshit question, it's impossible to answer.
Jim Trotter:
Impossible because you don't know the answer!
Lisa:
Nobody could answer that question!
Jim Trotter:
Your Honor, I move to disqualify Ms. Vito as an "expert witness"!
Judge Haller:
Can you answer the question?
Lisa:
No, it is a trick question!
Judge Haller:
Why is it a trick question?
Vinny:
(to Bill) Watch this.
Lisa:
'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. [Vinny sits back, contently crossing his arms]
Jim Trotter:
Well... um... she's acceptable, Your Honor.
