Judge J.T. does come with a full questline, here’s a look at that questline:
Lady Justice Pt. 1
Judge Winchester starts
Judge J.T. Winchester: Why are you loitering outside my courthouse, Chief?
Wiggum: I was waiting for you, Judge.
Judge J.T. Winchester: That’s hardly an excuse. Write yourself a ticket for loitering.
Wiggum: Eh, I could do that, or…I could tell you some pretty exciting news regarding a certain favorite TV program of yours…
Judge J.T. Winchester: “One Life to Give”? Don’t toy with me, Chief. You know that’s my number one soap. Now spill it or I’ll hold you in contempt!
Wiggum: Well, “One Life to Give” just applied for a permit to shoot in Springfield and apparently they’re going to be casting some small roles.
Judge J.T. Winchester: Finally, my shot at stardom! Where do I audition?
Wiggum: There aren’t any auditions. They have talent scouts walking around Springfield looking for people in public.
Judge J.T. Winchester: So…they could be anywhere?
Wiggum: Um yeah, I guess?
Judge J.T. Winchester: Every-body-dance-now *break-dancing* Danke schoen…Darling danke schoen…*tap dances* Make ’em laugh, make ’em laugh, make ’em laaauugh! *finishes with a flourish*
Wiggum: Yeah uh, that’s uh, not bad, Judge.
Make Judge J.T. Winchester Show She’s a Triple Threat- 4hrs
Make Wiggum Leave Before She Remembers the Loitering- 4hrs
Judge J.T. Winchester: There, that ought to show the talent scouts everything they need.
Sideshow Mel: Bravo! Who knew beneath that flowing robe of silky justice lay dormant, not but an actor and dancer with the voice of a cherub, but dare I say all three?
Judge J.T. Winchester: Do you swear you’re telling me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Sideshow Mel: Cross my heart and hope to perish tragically on stage.
Judge J.T. Winchester: Then I guess I still got the goods.
Lady Justice Pt. 2
Judge Winchester starts
Judge J.T. Winchester: Mr. Krustofsky, you received a ticket for jaywalking and admitted to crossing the road outside of a crosswalk. Pay your fine and stop wasting my time.
Krusty: That’s perfect! Just the kind of sass we’re looking for.
Judge J.T. Winchester: Excuse me?
Krusty: Your honor, I only jaywalked because I wanted to get a closer look at your street performance earlier. You’re a legit triple threat!
Judge J.T. Winchester: Oh, you – you really think I’m good?
Krusty: Yes, that take-no-guff, I hate your stinking guts attitude is just PERFECT for the show!
Judge J.T. Winchester: The show? Wait, are you scouting talent for “One Life to Give”?
Krusty: Bah, soap operas are over, honey. It’s all courtroom dramas nowadays! And you’re gonna get your own show, executive produced by yours truly.
Judge J.T. Winchester: *gasp* I’m gonna be a star!
Krusty: And I’m gonna be rich!
Judge J.T. Winchester: Great, you can use that money to pay your fine on the way out. Leave your number with the bailiff. My people will be in touch.
Make Krusty Pay His Fine- 4hrs
Make Judge J.T. Winchester Prep for Superstardom- 4hrs
Lady Justice Pt. 3
Judge Winchester starts
Krusty: Cut! Everybody stop. This isn’t working.
Judge J.T. Winchester: You can’t just yell cut in the middle of court proceedings.
Krusty: I wouldn’t have to if Burns didn’t look so guilty. How is the audience supposed to root for a guy that looks like he wants to murder puppies in their sleep?
Blue Haired Lawyer: Objection. Conjecture.
Burns: They’d never see it coming, on account of their deep slumber.
Krusty: Can we return to the issue at hand? Mr. Burns, maybe try not steepling your fingers and glaring menacingly for one take?
Burns: Is that better?
Krusty: Eh, no, much worse. You’ve gone from “wants to murder puppies” to “just murdered puppies”. Maybe go back to the steepling.
Blue Haired Lawyer: Objection!
Judge J.T. Winchester: Sustained.
Krusty: The sympathetic angle isn’t really working here. I think we need to make this a good-versus-evil story.
Blue Haired Lawyer: Objection!
Judge J.T. Winchester: Disregard.
Krusty: Let’s try this again. Action!
Judge J.T. Winchester: On the charge of felony embezzlement, how do you plead?
Burns: Not guilty, your honor.
Krusty: Eh, I’m not buying it. Throw the book at him!
Make Judge J.T. Winchester Try to Keep Her Cool- 4hrs
Make Krusty Persuade the Judge to Throw Actual Book- 4hrs
Krusty: There, you feel better now that you threw that book?
Judge J.T. Winchester: Much.
Krusty: I’m just glad we were rolling. That kind of drama is ratings gold!
Lady Justice Pt. 4
Judge Winchester starts
Krusty: Alright, that’s one episode in the can. Now for phase two: we cram it down America’s pie hole with some old-fashioned, gratuitous promotion.
Judge J.T. Winchester: Oooh, like talk shows and interviews? I love those!
Krusty: I was thinking something a little more grassroots. You take to the streets and throw the book at anyone who even looks like they might commit a crime.
Judge J.T. Winchester: Points for ingenuity, but that literally goes against everything I swore to uphold.
Krusty: C’mon, you’re just cutting out the middleman, saving the honest taxpayer a buck. Who would object to that?
Blue Haired Lawyer: Objection!
Krusty: Overruled!
Make Krusty Egg Judge J.T. Winchester On- 4hrs
Make Judge J.T. Winchester Throw the Book at ‘Em- 4hrs
Krusty: Now that’s what I call drama!
Judge J.T. Winchester: So many lawbreakers. I think I understand those vigilante superheroes now.
Krusty: Calm down, lady. The superhero thing is played. Stick with the tough-talking judge angle. It’s never been done before.
Lady Justice Pt. 5
Judge Winchester starts
Grampa: This trial’s taking forever. It’s almost 4pm and I haven’t had dinner.
CBG: I too am feeling a bit famished.
Luigi: Luigi could whip up some spaghetti-and-a-meatballs, food-a-make everyone a-happy.
Marge: Just throw the book at ’em, so we can go home and eat!
Judge J.T. Winchester: *bangs gavel* Order! If I don’t get silence, I’ll throw the book at all of you.
Krusty: Actually, you can’t throw the book anymore without paying royalties to my licensing corp. We copyrighted and trademarked it for the show.
Judge J.T. Winchester: I’ll do whatever I damn please in my own courtroom and throw the book at whomever I damn please.
Krusty: Okay, but that could constitute a felony with a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine.
Judge J.T. Winchester: Alright, that’s it. Everyone out of the courtroom!
Krusty: But we’re already behind schedule! And it’s almost magic hour!
Make Judge J.T. Winchester Clear the Courtroom- 4hrs
Make Krusty Be Apoplectic- 4hrs
Krusty:Welp, we’re officially over budget and the studio is threatening to pull the plug.
Judge J.T. Winchester: Well, I only answer to one studio head and that is the law.
Krusty: Yeah yeah, jeez. What a diva.
