It's hardly worth tying up|this overburdened court system,
a system which though flawed, yes,|it has flaws, is the best damn system
in the United States of America|and maybe the world!
You can put an exclamation point|by that, Miss. Hallelujah!
So, I'd like to be released now|on my own recognisance, thank you.
Stop, turn, stay.
Now, Mr Turner,|I don't see anything here
about past or present employment|on your sheet.
I don't want to brag|about my stupid accomplishments.
"I did this, I did that." It's...
Your Honour, enough is enough.|If he won't accept a plea...
- I suggest all charges be dropped.|- Substantial jail time...!
One moment, Bob.|Did you say, "Drop the charges"?
I think that was me, yeah.
"Drop the charges."
Approach the bench. Please.
Do you get your pants|custom tailored?
You probably have to,|with a set of balls that big.
Drop the charges?|What a set they must be!
Huge and shiny, I'll wager.|I've always wanted balls like that.
Where did you get yours?|We'll talk more later.
For now, get back to that spot!
Now, you can demand a trial
or in lieu of a plea, you can accept|the recommendation of this court.
What this court recommends|is that you, the defendant,
Tom Turner, AKA, Tom the Preacher,
Tom the Con and Tom the Worm,
you, sir, have one week|to find a job.
A real job. Nine to five,|five days a week, for a year.
Nine to five?|That seems a bit excessive.
If this record showed|you were selling drugs as well...
- His punishment is to get a job?|- In my opinion, we should cane him!
Do you have any idea how hard honest,|working people break their backs
to earn the dollars out of which|you so blithely con them?
I implore you, take this opportunity|to use the innocent apple-pie face
and the fine mind|God has obviously given you,
for something better,|for something decent,
for all the people|whose trust you've crushed.
By the way, if you choose|not to work, you will go to jail.
So, which will it be?
OK, so, it's jail or...|What was the other one?
I hate the Post Office|during the holidays. It's a zoo!
I've been here an hour|to buy three stamps!
- I'm looking for Guy Turner.|- Behind the yellow line. Got to go.
I just have a question. I've walked|around here for 30 minutes...
You have to stand behind the line!
No, I'm not a yellow-liner.|I'm here...
I cannot help you till you stand|behind the yellow line!
- Next.|- I've dealt with your type before!
- I will speak to your supervisor!|- I almost had to help a customer!
I'm in Sorting. This is Monica. Bye.
- Hello, Monica.|- Hi.
I'm having an extraordinarily|crazy day. I need to find...
Behind the yellow line, please.
You're kidding, right?
