Simmons was finally allowed within the Red base.

Simmons: Sarge! Finally! I need to tell you what the Blues are planning.

Sarge: I thought I told you idiots not to let this traitorous scumbag in the base!

Simmons: Good to see you too, sir.

Grif: We didn't let him in the base.

Sarge: He's standing right here.

Grif: Well obviously, he penetrated the defensive protocol that me and Private Donut established.

Simmons: Defense protocol? You asked me what the password was.

Grif: And you knew it.

Simmons: I guess it. By the way, the password was 'password'.

Grif: It's so obvious, it's impossible to guess.

Sarge: Diabolical.

Simmons: A password contain at least one number and one letter. For example, your password would be '2Dumb2Live'.

Sarge: Excellent Burn.

Simmons: Thank you, sir.

Sarge: Traitor.

Simmons: Dammit.

Sarge: Grif's stupidity aside, I'm not speaking with you until we punish your insubordination and treason.

Simmons: How about I just trade you the information that I learned from the Blues?

Sarge: No! We have to have a trial. Right here. Right now.

Simmons: What? We don't even have a judge.

Sarge: Inaffirmative. In my civilian life, I worked as a judge for many years.

Grif: What level? Municipal? Federal?

Sarge: Livestock, and occasionally agriculture. Now let's find out if Simmons is guilty of treason and or best in breed.

Simmons: I don't recognize the authority of this court.

Sarge: No one cares what a convicted criminals thinks.

Simmons: But aren't I innocent until you prove me guilty?

Sarge: Nonsense! Why would we waste time having trials for innocent people? That would be a waste of resources.

Simmons: But I'm not guilty until you hold trial and convict me.

Sarge: So you admit it's a forgone conclusion!

Simmons: Yes! Wait! I mean no? Yes. No, that was right, I think.

Grif: Okay, this is officially more boring than any of the other times I've been to court. Permissions to sigh and walk away, sir?

Sarge: Permission denied. If you leave, Simmons won't have anybody to defend him.

Simmons: Woah woah woah woah, I'd prefer to defend myself.

Sarge: I knew you'd say that, and as the old saying goes, a person who chooses to defend himself has a fool for a lawyer. And that fool is Grif.

Grif: Who's the prosecution?

Sarge: Why I am, of course.

Simmons: You're the judge AND the prosecutor? That's a conflict of interest!

Sarge: I object to that as speculative, and I also sustain my own objection.

Grif: Uhhh. . . we'd like to enter a plea.
