If Vinny was on the judge's good side, this is how the dialogue would have played out:

Judge: Mr. Gambini. That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought out objection.
Vinny: Thank you Your Honor.
Judge: Sustained. Court will take a 30 minute recess. Mr. Gambini, you can stay here in the courtroom. Mr. Trotter, I want to see you in my chamber. 30 minute recess.

*Hits gavel*

Trotter: There goes my prosecution.
