Polite Dissent presents a scene from the 60s Lawyerbear series.

LAWYERBEAR: There’s an interesting fact about bears you may not be aware of, Mr. Jones. We can smell lies.
Lawyerbear starts sniffing and moves closer to the witness stand.
And I’m getting quite a stench from you.
OPPOSING COUNSEL: Objection!
LAWYERBEAR: Leans in close to witness, snuffling.
Quite a stench indeed.
OPPOSING COUNSEL: Objection!
JUDGE: Sustained. Counselor, you will restrain yourself!
Lawyerbear slowly backs away from the witness, but not before baring his teeth and growling one last time.
MR. JONES: All right! All right! I confess! I did it! I killed Old Man Edwards, cut his body apart with Mrs. Paulson’s hedge shears, and buried him in her rose garden! I did it!
He breaks down sobbing.
Please don’t eat me.
Pandemonium erupts in the courtroom. The gallery and the jury start talking. The judge bangs his gavel repeatedly. Lawyerbear turns to face the judge.
LAWYERBEAR: The defense rests.
