Judge tells Baldwin he’s a fan and to ‘be a good boy’

Even a wisecracking judge couldn’t get Alec Baldwin to lighten up and apologize to the two lady cops he cursed out in May.

“Looks like you have a short fuse,” Judge John Delury quipped Thursday, as the petty actor appeared before him on charges of disorderly conduct for dropping f-bombs and insulting two officers who stopped him for riding a bicycle the wrong way down a city street.

Delury tried to give Baldwin a chance to get out of the jam with a little dignity. “Do you want to apologize?”

Baldwin shook his head.

“I’d rather pay the fine,” he smugly shot back.

“Than apologize?” the Manhattan summons court judge asked incredulously.

“I just want to pay the fine,” persisted Baldwin, who is worth an estimated $65 million. The charges carried no chance of a fine.

The actor came to court in a rumpled, black shirt, navy blazer and gray pants.

He had no lawyer with him, prompting the gregarious Delury — who is known for bantering with defendants — to jokingly ask, “You can’t afford a lawyer?”

Baldwin just smiled.

The judge then asked, “You were in ‘Search for Red October?’ ”

“The Hunt for Red October,” Baldwin corrected him on the title of the 1990 Cold War submarine flick.

“That was a good movie,” the judge said. After Baldwin’s refusal to apologize, the elderly jurist started treating the actor like a petulant child.

“Can you stay out of trouble, Alexander?” Delury said, using Baldwin’s real name.

“Sure, sure,” the actor responded.

“Be a good boy from now on,” the judge cautioned, before ruling that if Baldwin stayed out of trouble for six months, the charges would be dropped.

“Have a good day,” the judge finished.

The volatile actor was issued the summons on May 13 for going ballistic on the cops after they stopped him for riding his pricey black Cannondale bike the wrong way on lower Fifth Avenue.

He told them to “go f–k yourselves” when they pulled him over.

“Don’t you know my taxes pay your salary” he said. “Can’t you get that around your f–king head?”

“Go ahead give me a summons. I pay your f–king salary,” he said according to the complaint.

“I don’t have ID. Just give me the ­f–king summonses!”

At the station house, he spoke to the cops’ supervisor and said: “How old are these officers?” he griped. “They don’t even know who I am.”

It was hardly the first such outburst for Baldwin, who has aimed his big mouth at everyone from photographers to Starbucks baristas to flight attendants to fellow actors to his own daughter.

After court, the normally chatty Baldwin didn’t say a word. His yogi wife, Hilaria, was absent.

The good-natured banter was typical of Judge Delury, who is known for his courtroom quips.

Before Baldwin walked into the courtroom, the judge oversaw a case of public urination, in which the defendant appeared to be in his 70s.

“How old are you?” Delury joked. “Are you 22?”
