• John Brower - Judge's Assistant : Richard Slade.

  Goofy : Me mother's in jail, me old man went to get the check. We're on relief.

  Judge Clinton : Richard, are you going to help me out and tell me what happened?

  Goofy : Sure Judge. I'll tell. I'll confess.

  Frankie Warren : Goofy!

  Goofy : I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna talk. Well Judge, I'll tell you how it happened. We were forced to do what we done, Judge. You see, Judge, Junkie's the head of a gang of crooks and they had us in their clutches. They was making us steal for them. Then we said we wouldn't steal no more, so they tried to knock us off. There we was, Judge, outnumbered two to one - a fight for life. But we came through.

  Judge Clinton : A very poor story, Richard.

  Goofy : Yeah, that's what I thought. It's playing down at Gem Theater.
