(The scene opens up with the sight of Shrimp in an orange jump suite, he's standing, at his arraignment hearing. His face is covered in bruises and gashes. We start off with the little firecracker speaking...)
~Shrimp~ Now look...
(Shrimp's attorney whispers, "Your honor" but Shrimp, the defiant little bastard; refuses to cater to another corrupt official, so he ignores his lawyer as he continues on with what he was saying.)
~Shrimp~ I could of sat there and fired nukes at your pathetic lives all night, simply for the fun of it! I could of literally ran this pathetic excuse of a state's "historical and present contributions", if we could call them that, so far into the ground that you'd all think I took each and everyone of you waverly patriots, to hell when I was finished!
(The Judge presiding over this case calmly responds.)
Judge: "Mr. Craig, it's my understanding that you not only continued to verbally assault Georgian residents, both officers and convicts the whole evening until you ended up in the brawl that gave you all of those wounds as well as more charges.
~Shrimp~ What!?!
(The Judge interrupts Shrimp.)
Judge: Mr Craig, calm yourself before I put you into contempt.
~Shrimp~ First off, I never saw any convicts last night because I was beat too the point of unconsciousness by your officers!
(This statement has the judge looking confused but Shrimp isn't done.)
~Shrimp~ Yeah! They took me in a room, handcuffed both of my hands to a chair that was bolted into the floor before they beat the living tar out of me!
(Shrimps lawyer tries to pull the little turd back, he tries to control the situation but the truth is; there's no stopping Shrimp!)
~Shrimp~ Now! That's what we not only call a lawsuit against the state of Georgia, if we could call it a state at all... But! It's also police brutality and more importantly one hell of a headache for you and this court!
(Shrimp's head begins to nod vigorously as he senses momentum in his favor.)
~Shrimp~ It also happens to be more money for me at Georgia's expense! And, make no mistake about it, I'll easily win when I get my hands on the security footage!
(The little guy's nodding head begins to shift east and west as he keeps on the assault.)
~Shrimp~ And secondly, you can shove the threat of putting me into contempt right up your....
(The Shrimp, he isn't able to finish his statement due to his attorney grabbing him by the arm and forcefully pulling the little firecracker away from the microphone. Immediately, the attorney whispers something into Shrimps ear. Rick Craig's responds in the form of a nod before he calmly sits down. Rick's (Shrimps) attorney grabs a couple pieces of paper before he stands up.)
Shrimp's Attorney: Your honor, I'd like to request that you let me address the court.
(The judge hesitates to agree to this but in the end; he doesn't really have a choice in the matter at this moment, so he nods while saying.)
Judge: Permission granted.
Attorney: These papers are where I'm formally motioning the court to place a copy of the footage from last night's events in my possession so that I may get to the facts on my clients behalf.
(A few drops of sweat is seen running from the judge's face as he looks at one of the jailers who slightly shake their head no. Yet in the end, the judge knows that he has no other choice besides to uphold the law. The judge looks at the county recorder and says.)
Judge: Alright, please note that the court will provide the defense with last night's footage after Mr. Craig arrived in this county's care.
(The Judge looks at Shrimp's attorney and asks.)
Judge: Is there anything else counselor?
Attorney: Yes, I'm going to request that the court releases Mr. Craig on his own recognizance so that he is able to get back to work.
(The judge hesitates and it's likely due to the fact that he doesn't want to freely release Shrimp with out some sort of bail for compensation but he knows that if Shrimp's allegations are in fact proven to be true; then this could potentially blow up even more. So, in order to attempt smoothing things over with Shrimp. The judge agrees apprehensively as he looks at the court reporter.)
Judge: Let it be known that the state of Georgia will in fact release Mr. Craig on his own recognizance.
(Shrimp is seen smirking as the scene fades to black momentarily but it suddenly comes back on the air to show a battered and bruised Shrimp exiting the Fulton County Correctional facility with an smug grin on his face. His walk, it has even more swagger than it usually does as he strolls away from the solid steel door, that's because, he knows that he proved his point. Not only did he work the crowd up during his last appearance but Shrimp also out witted many Georgians, including the Fulton County Prosecutor and Judge!)
(While he obvious took quite a few good shots the night he was arrested, he also suckered the police into screwing up the charges that they may of had against him. At that thought, the little bastard struts even more just before he reaches his limousine. The driver opens the passenger door for him and Shrimp to pauses. He turns around and takes a minute to look over his latest conquest one more time before he vigorously nods in approval. Shrimp's head stops about 15 seconds later and as soon as it does, his smug grin, it lights up even more just before he finally gets into the vehicle.)
