So You Think You're Not Guilty1950

[in court]

Joe McDoakes:
...not guilty.

Judge:
I beg your pardon?

Joe McDoakes:
I said I'm not guilty, your honor.

Judge:
You realize that by pleading guilty and paying two dollars, the case will be dismissed?

Joe McDoakes:
I don't want it dismissed. I'm not guilty. What kind of a city is this anyhow? You got signals that go up and down and up and down and up and down.

Judge:
Do you waive a trial by jury?

Joe McDoakes:
I waive nothing. I want the best jury in the country. I wouldn't trust my fate in the hands of any one servant of this this corrupted city.

Judge:
All right. Jury trial, date to be set. Defendant pleads not guilty. You're free to go now, Mr. McDoakes.

Joe McDoakes:
Darn right I am.

Judge:
Except for one thing.

Judge:
What?

Judge:
The fine for contempt of court is fifty dollars.

Joe McDoakes:
[shouts] Fifty dollars?

Judge:
Seventy-five.

Joe McDoakes:
[shouts] For what?

Judge:
One hundred. Step over to the bailiff.
