The Quote

Quote from Dorothy in Love Under the Big Top

Ken: You know, I have been practicing law for many, many years, and it's always amazed me how little my job actually had to do with justice. This stuff sounds a little better when you've got lapels and a vest. Anyway, my clients are charged with trespass. But the only real crime they committed was their overzealous championing of the defenseless dolphin. The dolphin, Your Honor, that for centuries has rescued men lost at sea, guided ships back to port. No, my clients were not trespassing. My clients were returning the favor. They simply wanted to protect some of nature's best creations from extinction. Your Honor you have the opportunity today to make a very disillusioned lawyer happy. Please answer to a law higher than this state's, and dispense some real justice here.
Judge: Please, let's have a little quiet here. That was a great speech.
Ken: Thank you, Your Honor.
Judge: But help me out here. How about something from a law book?
Ken: OK. The fracas occurred on a seaside dock abutting navigable waters. I don't believe that this court has any jurisdiction.
Judge: That sounds legal to me. Counselor, your last day has been a good one.
