Customizing the Legal System

Vinny: 'My clients were caught completely by surprise. They thought they were getting arrested for shoplifting a can of tuna.'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'What are you telling me? That they plead not guilty?'
Vinny: 'No. I'm just trying to explain.'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'I don't want to hear explanations. The state of Alabama has a procedure. And that procedure is to have an arraignment. Are we clear on this?'
Vinny: 'Yes, but there seems to be a great deal of confusion here. You see, my clients...'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'Uh, Mr. Gambini?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'All I ask from you is a very simple answer to a very simple question. There are only two ways to answer it: guilty or not guilty.'
Vinny: 'But your honor, my clients didn't do anything.'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Once again, the communication process has broken down. It appears to me that you want to skip the arraignment process, go directly to trial, skip that, and get a dismissal. Well, I'm not about to revamp the entire judicial process just because you find yourself in the unique position of defending clients who say they didn't do it.'

A Sharp Dressed Man

Vinny: 'My clients...'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'What are you wearing?'
Vinny: 'Huh?'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'What are you wearing?'
Vinny: 'Um, I'm wearing clothes.'
Vinny: 'I, I don't get the question.'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'When you come into my court looking like you do, you not only insult me, but you insult the integrity of this court.'
Vinny: 'I apologise, sir, but, uh, this is how I dress.'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'The next time you appear in my court, you will look lawyerly. And I mean you comb your hair, and wear a suit and tie. And that suit had better be made out of some sort of cloth. You understand me?'
Vinny: 'Uh yes. Fine, Judge, fine'

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

Vinny: 'It is possible that the two yutes...'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'Ah, the two what? Uh, uh, what was that word?'
Vinny: 'Uh, what word?'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'Two what?'
Vinny: 'What?'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'Uh, did you say 'yutes'?'
Vinny: 'Yeah, two yutes.'
Judge Chamberlain Haller: 'What is a yute?'
Vinny: 'Oh, excuse me, your honor.'
Vinny: 'Two YOUTHS.'
