we couldn't get a babysitter, so her sister had to come from ewell. from ewell.oh, that's so nice... a sister who helps with the family. will she still be there when you get back, or will she have gone off somewhere to find herself or something? well, that was lovely. thank you. we must have you over again soon. oh, another dinner party. how will you cope with all the excitement? oh, are you going, too, angela? will we be see you before you leave the country? my plane leaves tomorrow morning. tomorrow? what, just like that? and what about your dad? do you know, even by your cowardly standards, that really takes the biscuit. pete... she comes here every couple of years, and she... just see ravi and kuj out. i'm sorry. no. no. so will you tell dad about your decision? yes, of course i will. right. so i'll be around there tomorrow night to tell him that you're not coming back. sue, you've got to learn to trust people.

this is in a town where their first reaction -- i mean, tom ewell is an incredibly evil, disgusting person. everybody in town knows that. but they believe him. you know, they're willing to take his word even though they know he's lying completely, they're willing to take his word. they're willing to go out and try to lynch tom robinson, right? they have taken one of their upstanding citizens, bo radley, and locked him in the attic. he's been there for god knows how many years. has anybody in town done anything about it? no. lock your kids in the attic. that's the kind of town you're dealing with. as we're seeing this through the idse of scout, a child, we have -- through the eyes of scout, a child, we have to dig into it ourselves to see what's going on and once you do you realize that atticus doesn't have a chance. there's nobody to appeal to. he's going to lose. and the moral of "to kill a mockingbird" isn't that atticus finch is a great lawyer or the lawyer that we should follow. the moral of the book and the movie is that the republican lawyer won't work any more. we need a new kind of
