Mr. Jones: Well, you can't consider that a trike against him, can you? I mean, your Honor, thee is a big one that says 'Honor thy Father.' Judge Othniel: Oh, one of the biggest. Right up there with 'Honor thy Mother.' Edit
- (tinkering with a broken clock) Judge Othniel: You know, this clock is an absolute mess. But I'm going to fix it if it takes me an eternity. It has the most beautiful chime you've ever heard; so delicate, like the sound of children's laughter. There is no more beautiful sound in the universe than that. Edit
