Bailiff: This is Yoko, your honor. She was . . . angry!
Judge: Did you really get angry. Yoko?
Yoko: Yes, l did.
Judge: I see. Did you get very angry?
Yoko: No. I didn't.
Judge: Did you Jump up and down?
Yoko: No. I didn't.
Judge: I see. Did you shout?
Yoko: Shout?
Judge: Yes, shout. Like this: I'M ANGRY!
Yoko: No. I didn't.
Moktar: No. she didn't shout, your honor. She was just a little angry.
Judge: Now let me repeat this. She was angry, but not very angry. She didn’t jump up and down and she didn’t shout.
Moktar: That is correct.
Judge: All right. I will consider the evidence, and this court will reach a verdict-a fair decision-very quickly. Court is adjourned for one minute.
Judge: All right, now. It is time for my decision. Yoko was not very angry. And so, she is not guilty of any serious crime. She is innocent. But Yoko was a little angry, and so I sentence Yoko to three days of relaxation.

Yoko: Yes, your honor.
Judge: And don’t WORRY.
Yoko: yes, your honor.
Judge: Good. [He bangs the gavel.] Next case!
song:I'm innocent!
I DIDN’T SEE THE SKY.
I DIDN’T LAUGH. I DIDN’T CRY.
I DIDN’T ASK MYSELF WHY.
AND I DIDN’T SEE YOU STANDING BY.
I DIDN’T TAKE THE TIME.
I DIDN’T STOP MY BUSY CLIMB.
I DIDN’T HEAR ANY RHYME.
AND I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THE CRIME.
I WAS GUILTY OF LOOKING THE OTHER WAY.
I WAS GUILTY OF HAVING NOTHING VERY KIND TO SAY.

I WAS GUILTY OF HURRYNG MUCH TOO MUCH.
I WAS GUILTY OF FORGETTNG THAT WE SHOULD TOUCH.
BUF NOW I’M INNOCENT!
NOW I'M PAYING ATTENTION.
I’M INNOCENT!
HONESTLY, I’VE GOT TO MENTION THE REASON WHY:
I DIDN’T THINK ABOUT YOU SAYING GOOD-BYE!
NOW I CAN FEEL YOU STANDING BY
AND I CANNOT TELL A LIE.
I'M INNOCENT!
I'M INNOCENT!
Mr. English: On our next show, Yoko and I will be at the beach. Please join us. But that's all for now--until the next time--on A Ticket to Tomorrow!
