      Dan Fielding: Mr. Shibata was caught "rolling for dollars" with these three rarely-upstanding women.

      Judge Harry T. Stone: All three? That's illegal... and quite impressive.

      Dan Fielding: When he was apprehended, he had a fifty-gallon drum of soy sauce, and they were in the middle of something called the "Sukiyaki Slam-Bam."

      Christine Sullivan: Uh, sir, while neighbors and adjoining rooms did complain for over seven hours, I believe that...

      Dan Fielding, Judge Harry T. Stone, Mac Robinson: SEVEN HOURS?
