The System Must Pay
Justice At Any Cost
How do you stop a killer who is already behind bars?
They killed his family. Now justice is his vengeance. (UK Quad)

[Clyde has just been granted bail]

Rice:
Your honour, I would caution you not to do that!

[Clyde laughs and claps]

Clyde:
Thank you!

Judge:
Excuse me?

Clyde:
No, I don't think I will excuse you. [to everyone] You see, this is what I'm talkin' about. You are about to let me go - are you kidding me? This is why we're here in the first place. [everyone looks at him in surprise] You think I don't remember who you are, lady?

Judge:
I would tread carefully, Mr. Shelton.

Clyde:
Well how carefully should I tread!? Because apparently, I just killed two people! And you are about to let me walk right out that door! How misguided are you!? I feed you a couple of bullshit legal precedents, and there you go - you jump on it like a b*tch in heat! [The judge indignantly bangs her gavel repeatedly] Folks, you all hang out in the same little club!

Judge:
I'm warning you! Mr. Shelton! You will be held in contempt of this court!

Clyde:
[continuing] And every day you let madmen and murderers back on the street! You're too busy treating the law like it's a f***ing assembly line!

Judge:
One more time! One more time!

Clyde:
Do you have any idea what justice is!? Whatever happened to right and wrong!?

Judge:
You are now in contempt of court! Remove this man from my court.

Clyde:
Christ! Whatever happened to right and wrong!? Whatever happened to the people!? Whatever happened to justice!?

Judge:
Bail denied! Bail denied.

Clyde:
[being led away] And I bet you take it up the f***in' ass! B*tch! See you later, Nick.

Judge:
Bailiff...
