Lomp-s Court - - Case 3
(slamming gavel) "Be seated. This is Case Number 3 – the case of the Exploding Birthday Cake . I want a clean trial, no theatrics, and for the love of gavels – someone get me a coffee. Plaintiff, state your grievance." PLAINTIFF'S STATEMENT (Character A) Plaintiff: "Your Honor, I ordered a custom birthday cake from the defendant's bakery. It was supposed to say 'Happy Birthday, Karen' with sparklers. Instead, when we lit it, the cake shot confetti and a spring-loaded clown head into my sister's face. She needed therapy. I want $5,000 for emotional damages and dry cleaning."
"Valid. Fine print that requires a magnifying glass and a priest is unenforceable." WITNESS TESTIMONY (Optional) Witness (Karen – sister): "I still flinch at balloons. And I can't look at a red nose without crying. My therapist says I have Circus-Related Stress Disorder ."
"I put a sticker on the box that said 'May contain joy' ."
"A clown head? In this economy? Defendant, how do you plead?" DEFENDANT'S STATEMENT (Character B) Defendant: "Not guilty, Your Honor. The order form clearly said 'surprise inside' . I gave them a surprise. It's not my fault they lack a sense of humor. Plus, the clown head was premium-grade silicone."
