Clerk: Please repeat after me: "I swear by Almighty God..."

Witness: "I swear by Almighty God."

Clerk: "That the evidence that I give..."

Witness: That's right.

Clerk: Repeat it.

Witness: "Repeat it".

Clerk: No! Repeat what I said.

Witness: What you said when?

Clerk: "That the evidence that I give..."

Witness: "That the evidence that I give."

Clerk: "Shall be the truth and..."

Witness: It will, and nothing but the truth!

Clerk: Please, just repeat after me: "Shall be the truth and..."

Witness: I'm not a scholar, you know.

Clerk: We can appreciate that. Just repeat after me: "Shall be the truth and..."

Witness: "Shall be the truth and."

Clerk: Say: "Nothing...".

Witness: (Witness remains silent.)

Clerk: No! Don't say "nothing". Say: "Nothing but the truth..."

Witness: Yes.

Clerk: Can't you say: "Nothing but the truth..."?

Witness: Yes.

Clerk: Well? Do so.

Witness: You're confusing me.

Clerk: Just say: "Nothing but the truth..."

Witness: Is that all?

Clerk: Yes.

Witness: Okay. I understand.

Clerk: Then say it.

Witness: What?

Clerk: "Nothing but the truth..."

Witness: But I do! That's just it.

Clerk: You must say: "Nothing but the truth..."

Witness: I WILL say nothing but the truth!

Clerk: Please, just repeat these four words: "Nothing", "But", "The", "Truth".

Witness: What? You mean, like, now?

Clerk: Yes! Now. Please. Just say those four words.

Witness: "Nothing. But. The. Truth."

Clerk: Thank you.

Witness: I'm just not a scholar.
