Stannie Dum: Can't you make up your mind how you want him?

Old King Cole: How can you say that? In view of this evidence found in your house?

Bo-Peep: You've got to listen to me, Your majesty. You've got to hear me. Tom-Tom knows nothing about this... The little pigs was a friends of ours. Why should he want to hurt them? The violin and hat were in the house that we got home... He's innocent, I'd tell you. Innocent!
