EXCERPT:

What do you think? It’s because of Judas? What if we interview one of the waiters at one of the tables from a different section of the restaurant who maybe actually didn’t see him?

BURNETT: "Christine Cornell, she was in the courtroom today, the official sketch artist. (...) I want to show one of your sketches today. We’re going through some of them, but this one, it appears in this one that his eyes are closed. What was happening here?"
CORNELL: "My apologies, ma’am. I was sitting 50 feet away. I was having such a struggle to try and get those eyeballs in."

STEWART: "Damn it, woman! Does Donald Trump have eyeballs or no, ma’am? Does he or no? You were in the room! Tell me! Or I will not come to your trinket shop in Newport! Tell me, woman!”
