The Hanged Diver

Adapted from the story by: Ahmad Girangpamungkas

(The atmosphere in the courtroom is long. The judge sits in the middle facing
the green table. On the right sits a clerk. On the left stands the logojo. The
woman in the center rushes in and faces the clerk.)

Woman : "Mr. Judge, I will report"

Writer: "You have to come here if you want to complain. But, Judge, that's
all." (Points to the judge next to him. The judge just stands there, adjusting his
glasses.)

Woman : "Sorry, I was wrong. You know I'm an idiot, I don't know about
complaining, I don't know about court."

Writer: "Yes, what do you want to complain about, guys?

Tell me soon. Then we will record.

Woman: "I will seek justice from Your Honor Judge. My husband died
yesterday, I'm sorry."

Judge: "Why does that happen? Everything is almost always death?"

Woman: "I also feel embarrassed to explain it. But ah,

I'd be ashamed, yeah, I need justice,
even though I'm stupid."

Writer : "Yeah, tell me right away. Don't mention it, you'll feel like a fool,
and we'll take it down."

Logojo: "You want stupid people, you want smart people, you need the same
justice."

Writer : "What, Logojo, I can't be with you, it's none of your business, that's
the judge's business."
Judge : "Yes, Jo, be quiet. (The judge asks the woman.) How did your
husband die?"

Woman : "Well, my brother, now, my husband, he died in the middle of the

window, when he... opened the window."

Judge: "Open the window whose?"

Woman : “Yes, I broke other people's windows. Oh, how could I do it, Mister
Judge, I am ashamed to say. But after that, I want justice. Today, my husband's
task is. .. destroy other people's homes alias rob.”

Logojo : "It is the mother who must be arrested! What is it, Judge, why does
this woman want to be hanged?"

Writer : “Eh, logojo, don't ignore me! I have to decide the case, the judge's
business first! Does it have to be done?"

Woman : "I want justice. The owner of the house that caused my husband's
death must be punished."

Judge : "Writer, quickly find the owner of the house,

Writer : "Logojo, quickly find the owner of the house, accompanied by

Mother!"

Logojo : "Ready!"

(Logojo and the woman leave the courtroom. Not long after they enter again
and follow the owner of the house. They immediately sit in the chair in front of
the judge)

Judge : "Yes, your window sill has seen your mother's husband on the verge
of death, when your mother's husband wanted to steal into your house?

Homeowner : "Yes, Mister Judge."

Judge : "Writer, just record the confession! Well, since your window sill has
exposed someone on the verge of death, it will be punished."

Homeowner : "Don't punish me, Mr Judge. I have to be a carpenter, and I

don't want to put up window frames."

Writer : "Yes, Judge, it was the carpenter who installed the window sills.
Therefore, the carpenter must be brought to court."

Judge : "No, no. Clerk, bring the carpenter to you here, Father who owns the
house will deliver!"

Writer: "Logojo, bring the carpenter here, bring it to the father who owns the
house!"

Logojo : "Please, I'm ready to do the task. What else, sir."

(Logojo leaves with the owner of the house. The mother sits and waits. It
doesn't take long for Logojo and the owner of the house to return with the
carpenter.)

Homeowner: "Judge, the carpenter who installed the window sills in my

house. Please check them out now."

Judge: "Why did you install the wrong window sill? Don't answer! Well,
because the window sill was installed incorrectly, the sill fell on the mother's
husband, when the window was opened, he was on the verge of death. , then it
will be punished."

Writer : "Condemned to death, Mister Judge!"

Judge : "No, we will talk like that! Don't disturb the judge, Lis. Who is the
judge here, you or me? (Talking to the carpenter.) Carpenter, we will sentence
you to death."

Carpenter : "Wasn't it me who was punished, Mister Judge?"

Logojo : "Why don't you wear it?"

Writer : "I don't know, logojo, don't ask me! This is my job
it's not for examining sick candidates, you know?"

Carpenter : "Don't be the person being punished, Mr. Judge. Yes, I'm not
strong enough to mount the frame. But, there is a reason. I was disturbed by a
girl in green, until my concentration was broken."

Writer : "Why is that girl so beautiful that she disturbs your work?"

Carpenter : "Oh yes, Master Jrut....

Writer : "Jrut what does it mean?"

Carpenter : "Well, jrut is short for writer. But that's all the rank of master in
court. RIGHT? Now let's move on again. The girl is very beautiful. Well, in
my opinion, the one who should be punished is no longer the girl in the green
dress.

Writer : taken to court. Well, I'll look for him too."

(He rushes away grabbing the carpenter's hand, leading him outside.)

Judge : "Where are you going, writer?"

Writer : "I'm going to find the girl in the green dress."

Judge : "But there is a logojo, I am looking for a good candidate

Writer : "Too bad, Logojo is tired, since earlier ordered. After that, I'll look
for my girl."
(Officers and carpenters come out. The owner of the house sits next to
mother.)

Logojo : (shown to audience members) I'm looking for a girl, don't let others
do it!"
(Officer and carpenter enter again, following the girl in green.)

Clerk : "Don't talk about my logojo! Stay there!"

Logojo : "Ok, sit there, ma'am." (Pointing at the chair.)

(Addresses the audience.) Well, he says, what... " :

Judge : "The woman wearing the green dress, she made the carpenter interfere
with her work. Because Eneng passed by wearing a green dress, the frame that
the carpenter put up was not strong. to try to steal it. So it's the women's fault!"

Mojang : "I can't do that, Judge. It's wrong for the Judge to convict me. Later
First of all, I don't accept being blamed for granted. Not my fault, but the
diver."

Judge : "Why don't you blame the diver?"

Mojang : "Okay, but my clothes have to be dyed. Ideally, I want to be dyed

yellow. But why is the dyer unknown, my clothes cannot be dyed green. So
fingerprints, what's wrong

Writer : "Yes, Mr Judge, it is the diver who must be punished."

Logojo : (Ordered to scribe.) "Scribe, bring scribe here!" : (Orders to the

judge.) "Major Judge, bring it back
put it here!"

(The judge gets up, then leaves. But the thing gets out, quickly gets back in,
and then talks to Logojo.)

Judge : "Why are you looking for sick candidates? You have to do it too!"

(Logojo sighed, then hurriedly left, grabbing the girl's hand. The carpenter sat
next to the owner of the house. It didn't take long for Logojo and the girl to
return, accompanied by the carpenter.)

Logojo : "Please wait for the diver sir Judge

Judge : "You has made a mistake, diver!"

Diver : "What's wrong, Judge? Always me too I'm just a diver."

Judge : Yes, I have made a mistake. Andika stole the woman's green dress,
even though she asked for yellow. Because the woman was wearing a green
dress, the wooden backing did not work properly when assembling the
window frames. Because the window sills were not installed properly, the
mother's husband who was dismantling the house was on the verge of death.
For that reason, you must be punished."

Carpenter : "What, why are you blaming me? Business is dead I have nothing
to do with it
I am a thief, Mister Judge."

Judge : "That's unrelated, but that's what he said in the book OK, but we just
explained the history it happened. The point is, from the mistake of tucking in
clothes, that's it
a life was lost."

Writer : "Crime is paid with punishment!"

Logojo : "crime pays with punishment"

Judge : "For the sake of justice, we judges in this country decide:

death penalty. Logojo, bring this back
Go to the gallows!"

Logojo : "So this should be hanged, OK, Judge?"

Judge : "Oh no! Why are you so stupid, Logojo! Why do you want to be
ordered to drop a hanging mine? But we just decided: hang to death. Why
don't you listen? Let's hurry and take it to the square!"

Logojo : Ready!
Judge : "Well, now the law has been carried out as it should, for the sake of
justice. It's a complicated legal matter. If there is a shortage of experts, judges
must be protested, even demonstrated. It's normal that many judges are
stressed."

(Mother, landlord, carpenter and girl nod.)

Homeowner : "Now I have to think about it again, Skipper."

Writer : "Yes, let's go first. But I tell you everything, the robber's wife, the
house owner, and the carpenter, must pay the court fees first. A trial in court is
not an easy matter. and tense!"

Girl : "I don't have to pay for it, A?"

Writer : "No, I'm sorry."

(Logojo re-enters while guiding the diver, there is a mine hanging around his
neck.)

Judge : "Why did you lose and come back? But it has been given
duty to hang divers!"

Logojo : “Oh, Mister Juror, divers can't do that

hanged together?"

Judge : Why?

Logojo : "Because the diver is... tall."

Judge : "Oh, Mister Juror, divers can't do that hanged together?"

"Why don't you come here you idiot! How many years have you been a
logojo? Please don't be like that! Find a short diver!"
