About Officer Cosgrove[]
Returning home from shopping, Maude gets pulled over by Officer Cosgrove for speeding 34 miles in a 30 mph zone. At first, Maude adamantly refuses to believe she was speeding at all, tried to smooth things over with the youthful looking Cosgrove (she tells him he has "pussycat" face) to try to get him to tear up the ticket, as she offers him some milk and cake, as he had followed her home, but to no avail, as she insists to fight the ticket in traffic court, this after he informs her of her right to contest it.
Arthur, who said he had connections with a judge in the traffic court that could get her speeding ticket "fixed", and also after both Walter and Florida insisted that she do so, is able to, and that's what happens as the presiding judge, Judge Motorman (vincent Gardenia), who's accquianted with the "connection", a friend of a friend Arthur's who knows him, dismisses the case as a favor to the "friend" of Arthur's friend.
