all right, that's it. let's roll. hey... let's be careful out there. so she's stataing in her apartment door in her bathrobe, see, showing me her driver's license. she says, "renko, the time has come. get it on, huh? get on it and get it on. ha ha ha. hey, renko, hold on, hold on. did you grow some recently? no, no, it's my boots, see? they made me tall. actually, they're your basic dress boots. uh, they're nice, renko, real nice. they make you look, uh, strong. stronger than the mayor's breath, my friend. [ whistling and hooting ] oh, no. now, don't you be doing that to me. you tell that girl next time she comes in here to have some respect for an officer of the law.

belker. i said move. hey! this is a rout! [ growls ] he's crazy! right this way, ladies. your accommodations are ready. smoking or nonsmoking? woman: dispatch, we have a 9-11. armed robbery in progress. see surplus store,

whoo! ?qu?? where's my car? ?qu? dice? qu? dice? what? what? what are you looking at, man? what are you looking at? hey, what are you looking at? stay out there. [ yelling ] hey, hey, hey! i told you to stay out! i'm going to send you all to a psychiatrist. you die, huh? look at this. you got the address wrong on their warrant. captain, we never should have stopped doing these in pencil. so when the man understandably objects to being a aested, earps here hits him with a board. we had to, boss. we couldn't get his attention. get him out of here. buy him breakfast. tell him we owe him one. and don't hurt him anymore.

i don't know, phil. we were all there, francis. i think it's very important for the children to... grade schooler precinct visitation program? sure, we got one. we've had one up here for years. to interface with the police experience. tointerface with the police experience. i see. i know you can understand. i mean, the children of today... yeah, ma-- yeah, well -- ma'am? m mam, why not take my word for it? i doubt there's a kid in this district who hasn't interfaced with the police experience. okay, gorgeous, come on. let's go serve the public. mm-hmm. it's her, man. she's back. mm-hmm. jeez.

all right, furillo, i want him, and i want him now. where is he? to please have a seat outside? where's who? i'll be with her shortly. my client is due in court in exactly 45 minutes. now, where is he? care for a little while you're waiting? sure. why not? cream in your coffee? no, thank you. i'm, uh, detective john la rue. that's nice. well, may i... by the ounce?

an official sense... for that matter, he could be in transit between facilities. or he could have gotten on the wrong bus. you know, those buses from county lockup are not legibly marked. francis, we ought to interface with county on that one. never in my entire life have i listened to so much incompetence covered up by so much unmitigated crap. and d n't think for one minute, furillo, that the court isn't going to hear about this, because if i am not mistaken, you are sitting in contempt. counselor, suppose we drive off that bridge when we come to it. that's so typically fascist. now, if you'll excuse us... find my client, furillo, or i swear, i'll have you up on charges. mm, that young woman has a very handsome carriage. with 20 more pounds, she would be perfect. call around, will you, ray? huh? put a flag out on him.
