Act III, Scene ii

A courtroom in the King’s Bench Division. Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R. sits, wistfully staring at a wooden panel above the gallery, wishing it were a window. Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C. stands up to address the bench, passing audibl wind as he does so. Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R. raises an eyebrow.

Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C. (for it is he): If it pleases your honour, the agreement says the defendant has to sign it. But she hasn’t.
Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R.: Hasn’t what?
Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C.: Signed it.
Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R.: Signed what?
Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C.: The agreement, M’Lud.
Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R.: What agreement?
Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C. (frustrated): The one you are reading, if it, ahh, pleases your honour.
Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R. (waving a piece of paper): Oh! This document?
Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C.: Why, yes sir! That exact one!
Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R.: The very document we are speaking of, that the defendant hasn’t signed?
Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C.: Yes!
Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R.: Do you, ahh — do you see the problem, Sir Jerrold?
Sir Jerrold Baxter-Morley, K.C.: Permission for the ground to swallow me and my wretched client up, M’Lud
Lord Justice Cocklecarrot M.R.: Granted, Sir Jerrold. Granted. Shall we say that is lunch?
