Goodnight for Justice Page #3

the water's so filthy, I might as well

go bathe with the pigs!

Well, she's so big

that, if she goes first,

by the time she's done,

there's no water left!

Have you considered

the possibility

of taking your baths

on different days?

Huh?

For instance, Ma'am,

you take your bath on a Monday.

Sir... you take yours

on Wednesdays.

Wednesdays?

And Fridays.

That's my ruling.

Next case.

- Well, that's why he's the judge.

- I'll snap your neck like a chicken.

...that will be

a $1 fine and 5 days in jail...

...I sentence you

to 3 years' hard labor...

Do you swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but?

...3 years' hard labor.

Order! Order!

Order, please!

Case dismissed!

You're free to go!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Please take the witness stand.

It's been my experience

that people who exhibit

such open contempt for the law

have generally just broken it.

Well, I ain't done nothing wrong.

Section 94

of the Wyoming Legislature

prohibits public spitting.

That's 3 days in jail and a $1 fine.

So, you're gonna jail me for spitting?

Son, your incarceration will be

a result of your own stupidity.

Now, I'm gonna read

the charges off this docket.

You tell me

which other ones you're guilty of.

Arson.

Assault.

Trespassing.

Stealing chicke...

Stealing chickens?

You know, I could maybe forgive that

if it were one chicken,

but you stole eight chickens,

and from a widow, no less.

He did that, Judge.

I'm ordering

you to replace the birds...

Praise be.

...and clean the public spittoons

for 90 days.

Oh, thank you, Judge!

Thank you! Thank you!

Next case.

Whiskey.

Leave the bottle.

I'm looking for someone.

I figure you see everyone

that comes through here.

The ones that drink, anyway.

It's a good bet

the man I'm after drinks.

He'd be about 50.

Took a bullet in the leg,

dragging a limp.

A lot of men

come through here with limps.

On account of the war, mostly.

You recognize this?

What did he do?

Shot up a wagonload of people

in cold blood.

You're a bounty hunter.

No.

I'm the judge.

My apologies, Your Honor.

I'll, uh, be sure to keep

a sharp lookout.

You do that.

You know, Your Honor,

I do have a little something

you might be interested in.

One of my girls is on trial.

You know, for what they pay me,

I could use a little extra cash...

...and I have been known

to do things I shouldn't...

...but unfortunately for you,

I don't take bribes.

Well, she's a real nice girl,

Your Honor.

Pretty, too.

Well, then, I look forward

to seeing every one of her virtues...

in my courtroom.

Uh, first case...

Jones versus Landry.

Miss Landry, you've been accused

of stabbing Mr. Jones in the hand.
