Hoopen Holler.
When my client came to this lawless town did the citizens mind his ricocheting ways? Did they criticize his speedy bounce while he tracked down dangerous criminals like Annie Hoaxley or Sheepy Wolf? No! But now, now that the town of Hoopen Holler-- is safe, they reward the man who caught those criminals by accusing he himself of crimes.
l'm sorry, can you say that again? l was distracted by the the hairness thingy.
Your Honor, Sheriff Ricochet took-- Don't you move from that chair! --an oath to protect the public, to ensure the public-- Your legs! Stop moving your legs! --safety.
But in the end, he caused more property damage more injury and loss of life than the very criminals he was-- You see, this is just the sort of dangerous and reckless behavior of which l speak.
Look out! Huh? What-- What's happening to me? The crest! lt has a mind of its own! Crest, what are you doing? Where are we going? Excuse me, Crest, you may want to open the door first.
Look out! Oh, l'm down! l'm sorry, the crest made me do it! lts power for good is overpowering my own inherent desire to evil-do the evil-do that l do do.
Please stand for the verdict.
Thank you.
The court finds the rabbit has ADD, ADHD, and OPP.
Cut down on sugary snacks, limit his TV viewing time and, oh, yeah, here's a prescription for some rabbit Ritalin.
l can't believe l lost.
lt was a lay-up! l never would have lost if l'd just had the crest! Um, what's that? That? Oh, nothing.
That's not a death console, is it? A death console with which to destroy one's enemy which, in your particular case, happens to be l don't know--X?! Don't be ridiculous.
l'm Harvey Birdman! l don't destroy people, l he-- Well, l don't destroy people.
You know, l'm betting this puppy could only generate enough power to stun somebody.
Sting them on the old dooder.
And if someone were stunned, even momentarily that might be enough time to recover my-- - Crest? - Yes! Birdman's crest on X's helmet! Well, that was a little creepy.
Look out! Where is he?! Why won't he return my calls? Doesn't he know l'm trying to kill him?! l mean, stun.
What's this? ''Hooded Hero''? ''Crest Crime Stopper''? l fought crime for years and never got any press! That does it! l'm getting my life back! He's gone from zero to hero from X, the Eliminator to X, the Ex-Villain.
Thank you, thank you so much.

X, how did you change your life around? l don't know.
l guess it's the crest, you know.
