Groan on the bone

COURT ROOM

We see a magistrate reading a piece of paper he then looks down his glasses as he speaks.

MAG
"Clerk of the court, what is the actual charge is this criminal or civil?"

CLERK
"Criminal your honour. However it was as you so rightly recalled initially a civil case which found for the plaintiff. However despite numerous letters and breached injunctions the accused continues to sell fast food under false pretenses"

MAGISTRATE
"Is this true Mr Tuckey?"

We see a man in a white suite and white hat; he is also wearing glasses and has a chin beard . He is cleaning his nails and had not been listening to a word being said.

The magistrate flips

MAGISTRATE
"Mr Tuckey please!"

MR TUCKEY
"Call me Ken!"

Not bad but I saw it coming when he was called Mr Tuckey.
Maybe the spelling of his name should be changed to try hide the obvious.

And I thought he wouldn't insist the magistrate call him Ken.
Better if he was nudged or whispered to saying somehing like
'Ken, the magistrate is talking to you'

You're right, I should have worked on it but I was making a cup of tea and it came into my head so I just dumped it up.
It was extremely predictable, I should have concealed it better and you're spot on the nudge would have nailed it! lazy me
