Let's Go to Prison Page #2
a goddamn piss-bag,
get down here
and get me out of here
or you're all
gonna be replaced!
You got it, Duane?
I'll buy this place and
have it burned to the ground.
Well, should we
call the governor?
He owes us one.
That would get him out.
Does anybody here
want him out?
(CLEARING THROAT)
Okay. How about this?
I will represent Nelson
with the help
of our dipshit department.
Super!
Case number 9741,
State of Illinois v.
The Honorable Judge
Eva Fwae-Wan presiding.
"Just tell her
what you think"?
Just tell her
what you think.
Okay. Sh*t.
Permission to approach,
Your Honor.
FWAE-WAN:
What is it,Mr. Biederman?
Look, I'm gonna be frank.
Off the record,
you knew my father.
I've assembled the finest
legal team that money can buy.
Those guys.
We both know
all I'm gonna get
is a slap on the old wrist
and a formal apology
and a case of champagne
from the governor.
Why don't
we all just try to
move this thing along
as quickly as possible?
Well, Mr. Biederman,
off the record,
I am going to
hurry this along,
but it's because
people like you
make me sick
and I don't want
your Drakkar Noir
stinking up my courtroom.
Prosecution,
present your case!
JOHN:
in the English language.
"Trial by jury."
Juries are made up
of 12 people who are so dumb
they couldn't
even think up an excuse
to get out of jury duty.
I'm just proud to be
a part of the American
judicimal system.
I mean, uh, judaical.
I was so happy to be
picked for jury duty.
It's like
watching Court TV,
except I'm in the TV,
just like the boy
from Willy Wonka.
Before my daddy died,
he taught me one thing.
See the thumb goes away,
comes back.
Judaical system?
No. Jewidecimal system.
That ain't right.
(GRUNTING)
Mr. Hinkley?
Oh, yeah?
You may proceed
with your defense.
Watch this.
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
you've all seen Jurassic Park
and yet you're aware
that Jeff Goldblum has
never actually been
attacked by dinosaurs.
Even though
you've seen it
with your own eyes
on a TV
not unlike that one.
I rest my case.
(LAUGHING)
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
have you reached a verdict?
Yes, we have, Your Honor.
We, the jury,
find the defendant,
Nelson Biederman,
quilty.
FWAE-WAN:
Do you mean guilty?
Oh, yeah.
Well, it kind of
looked like it was a "Q."
Nelson Biederman,
you've been found
guilty of felony assault.
I sentence you to
three to five years
in the Rossmore State
Correctional Facility.
(GAVEL BANGING)
This court is adjourned.
(WHOOPS)
F***. F***.
F***, f***, f***.
NELSON:
F***!is gonna get
beaten, tortured, raped,
psychologically abused
and raped some more
by the so-called
justice system.
So why am I not happy?
I feels like
it's prom night
and everyone else
is porking my date.
if you don't give me
my medication...
You see this all the time.
Ma'am, please, we need
Oh, f*** you.
I don't even know
where he could be...
Can we talk to him?
You pissed me off because...
I mean I went to my own...
Do you own this house?
I mean...
And you know what?
I need my medication.
Silverman took my
medication away from me!
Hey, John,
you okay?
You seem sort of...
Clinically depressed.
Yeah.
I don't know, guys.
Don't you ever wonder
if there's more to life
than smoking grass
and watching guys
get arrested on TV?
I got some coke.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Hey.
You John?
We're here
to buy some pot.
Yeah,
my friend said
you'd hook us up.
My friend Ben Franklin?
JOHN:
can smell undercover cops
from 20 paces,
and there's no way in hell
he'd do something crazy
like sell pot to them.
Unless he actually
wanted to go to jail.
You guys should
probably take off.
What for?
Those two clowns
I just sold grass to
are cops.
You didn't buy that whole
Cheech and Chong routine,
did you?
(BANGING ON DOOR)
I can't believe they fell
OFFICER:
Police! Open up!Come on, John!
(BANGING ON DOOR)
OFFICER:
Open the dooror we're coming in.
JOHN:
I guesssometimes when fate
knocks on your door,
it has a search warrant.
I'll go to jail.
I'll get bunked up
and I'll make sure
he gets the full treatment.
Yup. My whole life's
been leading up to this.
Guilty as hell.
Guilty?
Now if we could
discuss sentencing?
Save it, Lyshitski.
How does seven-to-ten
work for you?
Not as good
as one-to-three.
Five-to-seven?
I'll settle for three-to-five,
but wait. There's more.
What's that?
I want to do my time
in Rossmore.
You actually want to go to
Rossmore Penitentiary? Why?
Three words, sister.
Location, location, location.
Hey. John Lyshitski.
What's your name?
Nelson Biederman IV.
Where you heading?
Prison.
(SCOFFS)
Me, too.
Tell you what,
we should be cellmates.
I don't snore
and I'm a pretty
quiet masturbator.
Hell, I'll even
give you the top bunk.
Thanks.
Thanks for
talking to me.
Last couple days
in the holding cell,
some of these
gang members
the cold shoulder.
It's inexcusable.
That's what I thought.
I mean,
why be that way?
WARDEN:
Welcome to your new home.
Let me start off by saying
that if any one of you
is innocent,
just raise your hand.
You'll be free to go.
MAN 1:
Come on, baby!You gonna be mine!
Yeah, we're tossing salad!
That's what I'm talking about!
baby! Yeah!
You gonna be my b*tch
up in here!
(GRUNTS)
That was my little joke.
I have a notoriously
dry sense of humor.
All right.
Here's how it's gonna work.
If you make
my life difficult,
I will make your life
exponentially more painful.
MAN 2:
Yeah!If you have a complaint,
all you have to do,
write it down
on a piece of paper,
put it in an envelope
and stick it up
your a**hole.
MAN 3:
Give me some brown sugar!
Tell them how we do it, boy!
(CHUCKLING)
If you feel that you've
been treated unfairly,
write it neatly on some paper,
fold it up real good,
pull your cheeks apart
and stick it up your a**hole.
If you have comments
or suggestions about
how I run my prison
or, let's say,
maybe the cuisine
is not to your liking,
please write a letter
to my office.
Just make sure that
under "return address,"
you write the word "a**hole,"
so that my head guard,
Mr. Shanahan, can assist you
in pulling
your cheeks apart
and sticking it up
your a**hole.
MAN 4:
He's got somepretty eyes. Pretty lips.
WARDEN:
Come on, that was funny.
GUARD:
All right! Move it out!Cell 433. I want you
to sign right there.
Move off, Biederman.
Lyshitski, John Q.
Hello, Johnny.
How you doing?
(CHUCKLING)
Rooney. No glasses.
You got the surgery.
Yes, I did.
One Metallica t-shirt,
