- "What court, what's going on?"
- "Mr. Byrne, you're charged with excessive use of a scarce resource.
- How do you plead?"
- "Scarce resource? What resource?"
- "Asterisks, Mr. Byrne. Don't try to deny it. How do you plead?"
- "Asterisks? How could asterisks be scarce?"
- "I take it your plea is 'Not guilty.'"
