Former staff member/speechwriter during W. Bush's administration provides some entertaining views regarding how R. Stone imagined how things would play out when eventually arrested. The paragraph starting with 'first scenario' is witty in itself.
- Cosplaying Supervillain Roger Stone Meets Robert Mueller's Real-Life Feds - Rick Wilson
There were two ways Roger Stone’s morning arrest could have played out.
The first scenario is the one Roger rehearsed in his mind a hundred times; his attorney would have been notified well in advance, giving America’s number one parody cartoon supervillain time to assemble some typically foppish confection: perhaps a purple morning coat, spats, hand-tooled lemur-skin calf boots, a jaunty top hat, a monocle, and an exotic cravat tied in a knot typically used only in vigorous German fesselspiele games. He would stride toward the waiting federales with a louche swagger, his bejeweled walking stick in hand. He would smile for the assembled cameras and toss off some bon mot that communicated both searing contempt and breezy insouciance.
Instead, a second, real-world scenario obtained. A frowzy, shocked Roger Stone woke to the sound of “FBI, WARRANT! OPEN THE DOOR!” in the predawn hours. The FBI may not be getting paid, but that didn’t stop them from rolling hard on Stone’s lair, arresting him, and booking him into the Broward County jail. Stern but polite FBI agents arrested Stone on seven counts of lying to Congress and Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Two things must have rankled Stone most. First, a CNN stringer was on the scene to a provide video of the raid. Second, Stone appeared in court handcuffed and shackled clad not in one of his usual dandy-lad getups, but rather in a plain blue Polo shirt. Just wait until Roger gets issued prison Crocs and a polyester-blend jumpsuit that doesn’t match his spray tan.
I can imagine Roger Stone trying to pull a stunt such as wearing an outfit similar to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's "The Child Catcher" character upon first entrance appearance when entering U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson's courtroom. Judge Amy Berman Jackson will not put up with any nonsense from Roger Stone while in her courtroom and he will be in deep trouble with her if he does anything while in the courtroom.

I was hoping to find a clip with actor Hans Conried doing the song performance scene of "For I'm going do-me-doing in my do-me-do duds! in the movie DR SEUSS - 5000 FINGERS OF DR T as another example, but currently no movie clip of that specific scene on youtube.
btw: here is the well known elevator going downwards to dungeon levels scene. The movie was heavily edited and lots of minutes (about 40 minutes) were removed from the final product. A shame that studios did that because even though the movie sucked, the musical pieces from the movie were of quality works of art with musical arrangements that were well done.
