Two actor performances in the style of a scene out of a movie.
Judge Harold Killicker is a panda that dislikes 'whiners' - which he defines as anyone that claims entitlement or otherwise gives excuses for even inconsequential crimes. As bigoted and prejudicial as he is, he's also wealthy and influential and has found ways to stay on the bench for a long time. During an intense court case against a donkey defendant, the judge ignores exculpatory evidence, claiming the donkey is playing the 'species card' for sympathy. The innocent defendant loses the trial, and the judge goes home proud. But the next day, when he wakes up in the urban slums with everyone around him - donkeys all - calling him by a different name, he's shocked to see his reflection as a donkey himself! Will he be able to embrace open-mindedness, or is his unchanging mind doomed to live and die in this life of poverty and injustice?
One of the last cases of an average day of His Honor Harold Killicker, the panda has lost his patience after suffering through 'whiners' all day, and now has to hear the case of a kangaroo, brought to the court to answer for hopping in a no-hopping zone. A minor infraction, but the judge finds a way to make it a major one, and make an example of the latest 'whiner'.
