I'll take the law into my own hands! I'll – chuckle – be the judge and the jury!"); a fat cat one-percenter lights stogies with dollar bills and hurls brandy bottles at the hired help ("You fool! Not this bottle! Idiot! Go back down to the cellar and bring me the Napoleon 1815!"); a scaly sub-sea scalawag seduces a sad-sack seaman ("HELP – HELP! Please! YOWWWWWWWW – You're nothing but a cold and slimy fish!").______________________________________________________________
