The opening scene

Ed climbs out........

Louie - Come and eat your supper Ed......

Ed - Wait for Chico Louie..... He went to Jury duty.

Louie - What kind of court?

Ed - Criminal court he's on a criminal case.

Louie - I can't wait to hear the gory details.

Chico arrives.................

Chico - "HEAD FOR THE BORDER....... HERE COMES LAW AND ORDER........" Ha Ha........ I HAVE returned!

Louie - C'mon Chico tell us about the case.

Ed - Tell us what happened today... Who done it?

Chico - Oh you mean the trial?

Ed - C'mon Louie sit down.........

Chico - I'm sorry..... I can't dicuss the trial with the 3rd party....

Chico runs away and hides inside the yellow car.........

Ed - Tell us Chico...........

Louie - Tell us........

Chico still keeps mum.........

Ed - I'm not going to beg you anymore.....

Chico - You're not missing anything......

Louie - Tell us about the trial......

Chico - Okay........ First the Baliff comes in. The case is about an old man versus a young girl.

Ed - Aha! He's guilty!

Chico - You can't make snap judgements like that.....

Louie - Chico..... I'm going to tell you something because you're a young man........ Anytime an old man gets involved with a young chick he's got to be guilty of something...

Chico - Order! Order! Now one more outburst like this and I'm going to clear out the garage........ That's legal talk ... ;) I learned that today.... ;)

Chico - Now do you want to hear about this or what?

Louie - If his eyes look close together he's guilty!

Chico stands and addresses the garage............

Chico - The Prosecutor comes and says "Ladies and gentlemen" I will show you what this decrepit old man here (points to Ed) What he did in the privacy of his hardware store... how he accosted and made advances upon this here young girl. (points to Louie) I will maintain how this here young girl FAINTED...

The defense - HA! I object!

Proscutor - We'll prove how this young girl here fell and fainted in the hardware store and when she woke up, Who should be breathing heavily into her face but, this old buzzard over here! (pointing to Ed).

Louie - Now he's getting to the good stuff... ;)

Chico Defense - Your honor I object! My client was trying to revive her with mouth to mouth resuscitation. Granted he was naked from the waist up but he was........

Louie - He's guilty! I bet his eyes were so close together... Ain't no room for his nose!

Chico - Court is adjourned!

Bravo JennyLee! keep them coming girl! Hey by the way? Wasn't that you making out with Chico inside that sports car?!?!!

YES IT WAS.............. ;) We were LOOKING GOOD! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA......

Now on to the story........... :)

Chico leaves the room..........

Ed - Hey Louie..... Could this case be the Pop Winters case? Remember that little girl who came into his store and she fainted? Could this be that case? She did sue him.

Louie - That happened two years ago.

Ed - Oh poor Pop Winters...... He's done so much for this community. Such a great guy.
He helped me get started in this garage you know........

Louie - Uh huh......

Ed - We may have guiltied Pop right into the big house.

Louie - Tampering with the jury is a felony.

Ed - Well we won't tamper with Chico.... We'll tinker with him a little.

Louie - "Those who tinker... Wind up in the clinker" Think about that Ed.........

Louie leaves...............

Chico re-appears........

Ed - Chico tell me about that interesting guy.

Chico - You've influenced me enough!

Ed - Was it Pop Winters?

Chico - You know him???

Ed - He's the Saint of East Los Angeles......

Chico - I'm not allowed to hear things like that man!

Ed - I remember a hardware owner who helped the people of East Los Angeles.

Chico - I'm leaving

Ed - Wait, Wait..........

Rev Bemis appears.........

Rev. Bemis - Hello.....

Ed - Rev. Bemis... Didn't we have a little league team called Pops Peanuts?

Rev. Bemis - No more!

Ed - Because a young girl is framing that good man in a jury of dummies.....

Chico - That's it! I've had it! I know what I have to do. I have to disqualify myself from the jury.

Ed - No Chico...... The judge won't like it... You can get yourself in alot of trouble...

The next day...............

Judge - Mr. Rodriguez... I understand you have some questions to ask me?

Chico - Your honor... How far can you go when you tamper with the jury? I think I should be disqualified from the jury. Your honor I've been influenced by someone.

Judge - Now what did this person do to influence you?

Chico - Everything! He told me about the peanuts......... and Santa Claus dressed as Lady Godiva!

Judge - Sit down..... Tell me the fellows name. I will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

Chico - What fellow?

Judge - The felllow who tempted to influence you! In this state it's a crime punishable by a $5,000.00 fine or 5 years in jail!

Chico - Cheese and crackers.......... That's some choice your honor?

Jusge - Give me his name!

Chico - Whose name is that?

Judge - The name of the FELON who tried to influence you!

Chico - Your honor I don't know what you're talking about?

Judge - Mr. Rodriguez you're still under oath!

Chico - I would be hurting the kindest person who ever lived.......

Judge - Do you know anything about zippers?

Chico - Do I know about zippers? You are talking to the zipper king! I have zipped across this country 3 times........

Chico - Allow me....... Pardon my fingers.......... Here hold on..........

Chico - There.............

Judge - Mr. Rodriguez! If you continue I will hold you in contempt!

Chico - Your honor.... I'm not easily intimidated. "Courage is my virtue and intregrity is my heritage and I fear nothing but fear itself!" What are you going to do with me?

Judge - (She presses a button on the intercom) Bailiff?

:(

Chico - Hi Ed!

Ed - Hey Chico! I bought you something...

Chico - What did you bring me?

Ed - Your favorite cookies....

Chico - But, they're half gone.......

Ed - Well they're my favorite too you know...

Ed - Well kid how are they treating you?

Chico - Okay I guess.........

Ed - Awwww...... This is all my fault. How's your room?

Chico - Small, Cozy with a view of the guard and warden.

Ed - You could start thinking like a convict you know?

Chico - Ed that would never happen to me........ You know why???

Ed - Why?

Chico - (Imitating James Cagney) Cause I'm busting out of here tonight SEE........ No place is going to hold me SEE........

Later on that day...............

Judge - Mr. Rodriguez?

Chico - I've never seen this man before in my life!

Ed - Your honor... I want this man out of here right away.......

Judge - How did you influence Mr. Rodriguez?

Ed - Brilliantly...........

Judge - I'm not getting through to you.......... Mr. Rodriguez would you leave the room please!

Judge - Now be more specific Mr. Brown........

Ed - The man who is a defendant in your court room is a saint! He's the saint of East Los Angeles!

Judge - You are not suppose to appeal to the court's sympathy!

Ed - He helped our community! The people love him........

Judge - Mr. Brown you're trying to influence..........

Ed - Who helped the widows and the orphans? Who took all the kids who played hooky and the juvenile delinquints and made a winning team out of them?

Judge - I'm warning you!

Ed - He made a winning team called Pops Peanuts.........

Judge - Pops Peanuts? I've heard of them. My grandson plays with them.... So that's the defendant? Well that settles that....... (She reaches out for the intercom) Bailiff? Bring in the defendant and bring Mr. Rodriguez!

Judge - Mr. Brown...... Influencing a juror will get you 5 years.... Influencing a judge will get you 10!

Pop Winters - Ed Brown! What are you doing here? Shhhhh..... Don't say a word... Until you get a lawyer..

Judge - Mr. Winters?

Pop - Yes your honor?

Judge - I'm going to have to declare this case a mistrial! I'll have to reschedule it for next month!

Pop - No, No........ I don't want a mistrial........

Judge - I'm sorry, I have to disqualify myself because these people have convinced me that you're a wonderful man!

Pop - How dare you convince her that I'm a wonderful man......... What have you done to me? I don't want a mistrial... I'm not guilty. I'm innocent...... I have 4 witnesses ready to testify for me... Ohhhhh......

Judge - Excuse me......... I have to dismiss the jury and the rest of you "PLEASE GO HOME!"

Chico - Your honor........

Judge - Yes Mr. Rodriguez...

Chico - Your zippers open!

Judge - Hmmph........

Chico - LOOKING GOOD...............

A month later...........

Chico - Ed! Did you see the paper? They found Pop Winters "Not Guilty........."

Ed - That's what I've been trying to tell you. He could never have done what that girl claimed he did. He's 70 years old! He's got that Kinney doo problem.
