Rochelle Quote #337

Quote from Rochelle in Everybody Hates Driving

Police Officer: Yes, Your Honor. Uh, on the date in question, I clocked the defendant here, doing 32 miles an hour in a 25 mile an hour zone.
Judge: Mmm.
Police Officer: And when I approached the vehicle, she unleashed a torrent of obscenities and I, honestly, I was personally offended.
Rochelle: What?!
Judge: Ma'am.
Rochelle: Oh. Your highness...
Judge: Your Honor, ma'am.
Rochelle: Oh, I'm sorry, Your Honor. Now, I know the officer may have clocked me doing 32, but I know I wasn't.
Judge: Yes, so let me get this straight. You want me to take your word versus the word of a sworn officer of the law.
Rochelle: Yes.
Judge: Okay, do you have any other witnesses?
Rochelle: Nope. Nope.
Judge: Guilty.
