come in here? You gointer have a hard time gittin' out.


BOY
I ain't done a thing. I ain't never done nothin'. I'm just as clean as a

JUDGE
You ain't done nothin', hunh? Well den youse guilty of vacancy. Grab

(The OFFICER seizes the boy and frisks
him. All he finds is a new deck of
cards. The JUDGE looks at them in
triumph.)
