Sung by Erin Leigh Peck with Badia Farha, Elyssa Samsel, and Aléna Watters

Fred and Marjorie Meade had dogs, two boys, and found themselves on trial for obscenity and libel.

The yin and yang of Marjorie Tobias Meade Bernhard Roth.

But every night was a party.

Before and After: on the right, Marjorie and Fred before Uncle Bob started Confidential. On the left, during the trial.

Marjorie showed up to plead innocent in the hearing before the trial wearing leopard print. Once there was a jury to impress, everything got far more buttoned up.

Marjorie confronted the prosecutor, accusing his witness of lying. He refused to speak to her about it, and the cameras caught everything.

At a pre-trial hearing, getting handed a subpoena for more charges.

This shot of the supposedly crtying Marjorie was staged. Cameras were not allowed during actual court proceedings.
