You see that guy?

Prison guard

Yeah, so?

Ernest P. Worrell

He's not on the jury duty, because this man is a prisoner!

Prison guard (Thinking Ernest is Nash)

Ugh! I oughta throw in the hole for that Nash!

Ernest P. Worrell

The hole?

Prison guard

Yeah! The hole!

Ernest P. Worrell

The hole like, like in "Solitare the Hole" Like, in a real prison? Like in real, really, really, really, really real prison? The hoose-gow, the slammer, the joint, Alcatraz, San Quentin, Sing Sing, Oh no. I'm in... I'm in... jaaaaaaaaaa-jail-jail-jail!

Prison guard

(laughs sternly)

[Note: The three ["jail"]'s following his yelling refers to echoes that are heard after the camera has panned far out.]
