[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!

Clyde:

Judge:

Clyde:

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...
