David/Bud: I've got something to say!
Big Bob: Very well.
David/Bud: You don't have a right to do this. I mean, I know you want it to stay pleasant around here, but — there are so many things … that are so much better. Like silly, or sexy, or dangerous … or brief. And every one of those things is in you all the time, if you just have the guts to look for them.
Big Bob: That's enough.
David/Bud: I thought I was allowed to defend myself.
Big Bob: You're not allowed to lie.
David/Bud: I'm not lying. You see those faces up there? They're no different than you are, they just happen to see something inside themselves…
Big Bob: [bangs gavel] I said that's enough.
David/Bud: Here, I'll show you. Dad?
George: Yeah, Bud?
David/Bud: It's okay Dad, just listen a sec. I know you miss her, I mean, you told me you did. But maybe it's not just the cooking, or the cleaning, that you miss. Maybe it's something else. Maybe you can't even describe it. Maybe you only know it when it's gone. Maybe it's like there's a whole piece of you that's missing too. Look at her, Dad. Doesn't she look pretty like that? Doesn't she look … just as beautiful as the first time you met her? Do you really want her back the way she was? Doesn't she look just wonderful? [he nods] Now don't you wish you could tell her that? [he nods, and suddenly is colored]
Big Bob: [bangs his gavel] You're out of order!
David/Bud: Why am I out of order?
Big Bob: Because I'm not gonna let you turn this courtroom into a circus!
David/Bud: Well, I don't think it's a circus, and I don't think they do, either. [David turns to look at the crowd, where many of the black-and-white people are changing into color. There are gasps and murmurs. Jennifer grins]
Big Bob: [bangs the gavel] This behavior must stop at once!
David/Bud: But see? That's just the point! It can't stop at once, because it's in you, and you can't stop something that's inside you.
Big Bob: It is not inside me!
