Judge: Mr Larch, you heard the case for the prosecution. Is there anything you wish to say before I pass sentence?Harold Larch: Well... I'd just like to say, m'lud, I've got a family... a wife and six kids... and I hope very much you don't have to take away my freedom... because... well, because m'lud freedom is a state much prized within the realm of civilized society.[Becomes passinate, as if he were reciting Shakespeare]Harold Larch: It is a bond wherewith the savage man may charm the outward hatchments of his soul, and soothe the troubled breast into a magnitude of quiet. It is most precious as a blessed balm, the saviour of princes, the harbinger of happiness, yea, the very stuff and pith of all we hold most dear. What frees the prisoner in his lonely cell, chained within the of rude walls, far from the owl of Thebes? What fires and stirs the woodcock in his springe or wakes the drowsy apricot betides? What doth the storm toss'd mariner offer her most tempestuous prayers to? Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!Judge: It's only a bloody parking offence.
