The clip Chicolini's trial from Duck Soup (1933) with Groucho Marx, Zeppo Marx

His Excellency, Rufus T. Firefly.
Hail, hail Freedonia
Land of the brave and free
Lieutenant!
Why weren't the original indictment papers placed in my portfolio?
Why eh... I didn't think those papers were important at this time, your Excellency.
You didn't think they were important?
You realize I had my dessert wrapped in those papers?
Here, take this bottle back and get two cents for it.
Hello, boss!
Chicolini, I bet you eight to one we find you guilty.
That's-a no good. I can get ten to one at the barbershop.
Chicolini, you're charged with high treason. And if found guilty, you'll be shot.
I object.
Oh, you object!
On what grounds?
I couldn't think of anything else to say.
Objection sustained.
Your Excellency, you sustained the objection?
Sure, I couldn't think of anything else to say either. Why don't you object?
Chicolini, when were you born?
I don't remember. I was just a little baby.
Isn't it true you tried to sell Freedonia's secret war code and plans?
Sure, I sold a code and two pair of plans.
It's some joke, eh, boss?
Now I'll bet you twenty to one we find you guilty.
Chicolini, have you anyone here to defend you?
It's-a no use. I even offered to pay as high as $18,
but I no could getta somebody to defend me.
My friends, this man's case moves me deeply.
Look at Chicolini, he sits there alone.
An abject figure.
I "abject"!
I say, look at Chicolini, he sits there alone, a pitiable object!
