| Goofs | Stockman is in court having been framed as a fare dodger. The magistrate says to him, "You have heard the conductor identify you as the passenger in question", but weeks later, the man who had actually dodged the fare is in the bus queue. The conductor instantly recognises him and calls out, "You, hey you! I've been wanting to see you for a long time." If he recognised him weeks later, then surely he would not have wrongly identified Stockman soon after the fare-dodging incident. See more » |
