Quotes 

• Judge Harry T. Stone : Any questions?

  Dan Fielding : Just one. How? How did you get appointed to the bench?

  Judge Harry T. Stone : You know, Dan, that's a funny story. It was the mayor's last day in office, and it was a Sunday. And my name was at the bottom of a list of a thousand candidates. So they start calling folk, starting at the top of the list, but, you see, it's Sunday so no-one's home. So they keep calling down the list, name by name; no-one answers. Finally they get down to the bottom of the list and... voila.

  Court Clerk Lana Wagner : You mean you were appointed a judge because...

  Judge Harry T. Stone : I was home.

• Dan Fielding : Your Honor, this is highly irregular.

  Judge Harry T. Stone : Thanks.
