[Haengemie] <standard pre-trial court briefing>
[Desdemona] Desdemona smooths out her skirt and clears her throat.
[Desdemona] Thank you all, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
[Desdemona] As many of you in town witnessed, Nug has been dancing perversely, very similarly to Jeepers' patented schtick.
[Desdemona] As we all know, Jeepers is a revered and respected member of our community.
[Desdemona] And the fact that the defendant so blatantly disregards his stature by impersonating him...
[Desdemona] Is a TRAVESTY amongst us.
[Desdemona] You may think this is a small infraction.
[Desdemona] But this may only be the beginning!
[Desdemona] Who might he impersonate next?
[Haengemie] 10 seconds remaining, Please finish up, or say "done"...
[Desdemona] It could be you!
[Desdemona] Done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Desdemona.
[Haengemie] Nug, you have 90 seconds to speak.
[Nug] thoom
[Nug] i like to dance
[Nug] i hope you like dancing too
[Nug] lets all dance
[Nug] done
[Haengemie] Thank you, Nug.
[Haengemie] Desdemona, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Desdemona] And even in the face of grave danger,
[Desdemona] Even in these most hallowed halls,
[Desdemona] Nug laughs in our faces.
[Desdemona] Will we take this?
[Desdemona] Will we stand for this?
[Desdemona] NO, I say!
[Desdemona] I would call witnesses, but you are all in the jury.
[Desdemona] You saw the horror.
[Desdemona] The shame he brought upon us.
[Desdemona] Vote guilty.
[Desdemona] It is the only way.
[Desdemona] Done.
[Haengemie] Thank you, Desdemona.
[Haengemie] Nug, you have 120 seconds to speak.
[Nug] we need more dancing!
