Officer: You Are Under Arrest For First Degree Littering
Judge: Robot Default, you're accused of First Degree Littering. If guilty, you'll be sentence to...A SLAP ON THE WRIST!
Robot: Just a slap on the wrist? (beaming) Okay then! I guess I'm guilty!
Monster: (barges through doors) GUILTY OF BEING INNOCENT!
Judge and Robot: WHAT?!
Monster: I'm his lawyer! And if being innocent is a crime, then my friend is guilty! But if being guilty isn't a crime, and it is, then my friend is innocent!
