"Jimmy's case is in the bag. Cause we know something the other side doesn't."
"What's that?"
"That all federal state and local judges are members of a certain obscure sect of the Freemasons."
Jimmy: "Now hold it. Our strategy is that all judges are mason?"
Well, there's more to it than that."
"Like what?"
"Well, there's a secret masonic word which when uttered obligates judges to rule in your favour, Then they have to go paddle each other off in a secret cave somewhere."
"And, what's that?"
I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."
"Okay, but it had better be good."
"I can't do it."
"Clearly, you're in good hands. Council, good day."
"Wait a minute, here. You're basing my entire case on some silly secret word."
"Mr. James...."
"Come on, Joe, give it up."
Leaning forward and whispers : "Tubalcain."
Jimmy: "Tubalcain?"
Joe: "Shhhh!"
Jim: "Sorry. Tubalcain. What the hell's that mean?"
"Joe: "I have no idea."

Later, at the courthouse:
Court clerk: "Jimmy James versus Kyle Martin Enterprises Inc."
Judge: "Are you Jimmy James?"
Jim: "Yes."
Judge : "And this would be your council?"
Joe: "yes I am. The master builder awaits the pyramids."
"I beg your pardon?"
"I bet you do." [02:01:41]
At the sentencing:
Judge: "Enough, You have successfully proven that you have a large box full of junk. I applaud you. Not since the People versus Junk Yard Jones has a box full of junk been quite so thoroughly documented. In fact if I were this young man, I would countersue you for reckless prosecution. And defamation of character. And for just generally wasting everybody's time. Do you have anything to say in your defence?"
Jim: "Tubalcain."
Judge: "I hereby find in favour of the guy with the box full of junk, and I sentence the kid to one month in a juvenile ward for psychiatric evaluation [02:12:11]

As Joe and Jim congratulate themselves and the defendent is handcuffed, the camera follows the judge as he strides purposefully out of the courtroom, a cricket bat emblazened with a large letter M inside a circle, resting on his shoulder. [00:25:16]
