JM: ma'am, the big hand is on the 12 and the shorter one is on the 6, correct? Yes or no.
ALV: It depends what you mean, Mr Martinez, by "the big hand" and "the shorter one." And what do you mean by "on"? Are you trying to trick me? I just can't answer the question. I don't know what you are asking. A clock has moving parts and numbers. There are different types of clocks, digital and analog. And there are time zones...
JM: I didn't ask you whether a clock has moving parts. Did I ask you that? Did I ask you about time zones? Ma'am, you do know how to tell time, don't you?
ALV: Yes, Mr Martinez, I can tell time, but I am here to talk about domestic violence, Mr Martinez, so when you ask me if its 6:00, I am confused about where you're going.
JM: Judge, non-responsive. Please instruct the witness...
JW pops to her feet: Judge, may we approach?
JSS: You may.

Stomp stomp strut strut back to chairs.
JSS: Ladies and gentlemen, we are taking a recess for 10 minutes.
30 minutes pass
JM: ma'am, is the time now 6:40? Yes or no.
ALV: the big hand is on the 40 and the little hand is between the 6 and the 7, closer to the 7, so it's 6:40.
Had to bring this over from the previous thread because everyone needs to see it. Hilarious!!!
