Fowler attempts to prepare Goody for the tactics of an aggressive defence counsel
You're lying, Constable! The evidence you have presented to support your case is so contemptibly slight and circumstantial, one is forced to think it may be no more than a tissue of lies. A corrupt concoction. Well? WELL?!
[Goody looks at Fowler, and bursts out crying]
Goody, you are supposed to fix me with a steady manly stare, not snivel like a Frenchman who's caught his baguette in his bicycle spokes.
(tearfully) I can't help it, sir. You're being so mean!
Look, this is an exercise. Do you know what an exercise is?
It's a running-jumping sort of thing.
