That 'Goldilocks' defense was hilarious!



When Fred & Jane are at the Odyssey of the Mind, and one of the presentations is about Goldilocks.
"Just because I'm tired, hungry, and...blonde..."
"What Goldilocks did was against the law."




"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

the movie has plenty of hilarious moments.

subtle ones too, like the MathMagician's cape stuck in the ambulance door, like it was always in the other vehicles.




I'm so happy, 'cause today I found my friends. they're in my head...

Haha. There are lots of mock trials have been done with this.
Here is the text from the movie:

Moderator: Today, Goldilocks is on trial. The charge is breaking and entering. All right, we're ready for opening remarks.

Prosecution: Just because I'm tired and hungry and blond, well, it simply doesn't mean that I can waltz onto private property and make myself at home.
Now, our crybaby defense, they'd like to turn this into a homelessness issue, but we can't forget the law and the law clearly states in book 3, paragraph 5350875, that what Goldilocks did was against the law.
