""If I do not hear from you"" ""it'll be my next pleasure to kill a Catholic priest or a..."" ""Scorpio."" "What goes on in their minds?" "Kooks." "Where the hell does he expect me to find a 100.000 dollars?" "You're not thinking of paying him, are you, Mr. mayor?" "The City of San Francisco does not pay criminals not to commit crimes." "Instead, we pay a police department." "Chief, who's in charge of this case?" "Inspector Callahan." "He's outside." "Send inspector Callahan in." "Callahan?" "Mr. mayor, inspector Callahan." "All right." "Let's have it." " Have what?" " Your report." "What have you been doing?" "For the past 3/4 hour" "I've been sitting on my ass in your outer office waiting on you." "Damn it, Harry." "It's the mayor you're talking to." "Won't you sit down, inspector Callahan?" "There's a madman loose." "I've asked you what's being done." "Fair enough?" "We've got a dozen men checking identification files." "Checking on all known extortionists, rooftop prowlers rifle nuts, peepers..." "Mr. mayor?" "We've arranged for rooftop surveillance and helicopters especially around the Catholic churches and schools and in the black area." "Ballistics is checking on the slug." "We're sure it's a 30-06." "Seven lands and grooves, right-hand twist..." "We're running a computer check on everybody in the files whose birthday falls between" "October 23 and November 21." "Why?" "Natives of Scorpio." "Thank you, inspector." "Have you mentioned this note to anyone?" "How about you?" "Nobody." "Your wife, sweetheart?" "Press?" "Nobody." "All right." "Give the message to the 'Chronicle'." "We'll pay." "But we need time to get the money together." "Wait a minute." "Do I get this right?" "You'll play this creep's game?" "It'll give us breathing space." "It might get somebody killed." "Let me meet with the son of a bitch!" "Nope, none of that." "We would end up with a real bloodbath." "I agree with the chief." "We'll do it this way." "Thank you, Mr. mayor." "Come on, Callahan, let's go." " Callahan..." " Sir." "I don't want trouble, like you had last year in the Fillmore district." "Understand?" "That's my policy." "When an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard." "That's my policy." "Intent?" "How did you establish that?" "When a naked man chases a woman in an alley with a butcher-knife and a hard-on" "I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross." "I think he's got a point." " Inspector Callahan." " Jaffe." "Usual." "Usual lunch, or usual dinner?" "What difference does it make?" "Not much." "Hey, Jaffe... is that tan Ford still park across from the bank?" "Tan Ford?" "Yeah, tan Ford." "Engine running?" "I don't know." "How can I tell?" " Exhaust fumes out of the tailpipe." " That's awful!" "Look at that pollution." "Do me a favor, will you?" "Call this telephone number." "Police Department?" "Tell them inspector Callahan thinks there's a... 2-11 in progress at the bank." "Got it?" "Got it." "Be sure and tell them it's 'in progress', right?" "'In progress'." "Yes, sir." "Now, if they'll just wait till the cavalry arrives." "Shit!" "Halt!" "I know what you're thinking." ""Did he fire 6 shots or only 5?"" "To tell the truth, in all the excitement I've kind of lost track myself." "But being this is a .44" "Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?"" "Well, do you, punk?" "I got to know." "Son of a bitch!" "It looks like we can save that leg." "I've got a couple under my knee." "Ever consider another line of work?" "I really appreciate this, Steve." "We Potrero Hill boys." "We have to stick together." "Nothing fancy, now." "Just a little tweezers and Mercurochrome." "Do I come down to the station and tell you how to beat a confession out of a prisoner?" "Come on Steven, I haven't got all night." "You might experience just a little discomfort, Harry." "But if you do, just have your wife to fix a..." "Sorry, Harry." " What will you do with those?" " Cut your pants off." " No." "We'll pull them off." " It'll hurt." "For $29,50 let it hurt." "You can turn your back if you're embarrassed." " Good morning, inspector." " Maria." "You wanted to see me, lieutenant?" "When the hell you going to get a haircut?" "Well, whenever you do." "Who's got time?" "I was up till 3 a.m. checking the search patterns." " Put in for overtime." " That'll be the day." "You made a pretty good pinch yesterday." "Chief was pleased." "He was?" "He really was." "He wanted me to tell you: "Well done!"" "I can't tell you how deeply moved I am." "I knew you like that." "I pass along a compliment you could be a little polite." "It might not kill you to say thanks." "I'd rather say thanks to a raise." "Harry, check communications." "Something from Chicago." "A gun nut." " I'll get right on it." " Now wait a minute." "Wait a minute!" "I'm putting somebody with you." " What are you talking about?" " You need a partner." " What's wrong with the one I've got?" " Nothing, except he's in the hospital!" " He'll be out in a couple of weeks." " Say hello to Chico Gonzales." " He'll be working with you." " You've got be kidding." "I have no time to break in newcomers." " Why don't you do this boy a favor?" " What do you mean?" "I mean you know what happens to guys I worked with." "Deitzick's still in the hospital with bullet in his head and Fanduchi's dead." "So?" "So if I need a partner, I'll get me one who knows what he's doing." "What about Frank De Georgio?" "No way!" "Now, you're workin' with Gonzales or you're not workin'." "That's straight from the fifth floor." "You got it?" "I got it." "If you see De Georgio, send him in here!" "You from around here?" "Yeah, but I went to school to San Jose State." " Play ball?" " No, I boxed." "Light heavyweight." "Just what I need is a college boy." " Found anything you like about me yet?" " Well, it's early yet." " Get your degree?" " Sociology." " Sociology!" "You'll go far, if you live." " I intend to." "Inspector Callahan." "Don't let your degree get you killed." "I'm liable to get killed with you." "I'll remember that." " Hero!" "Nice work yesterday." " Fatso!" "Bressler wants to see you." "You're a sweet man, Harry." "There is one question, inspector Callahan." "Why do they call you 'dirty Harry'?" "That's one thing about our Harry." "Doesn't play favorites." "Harry hates everybody:" "limeys, micks, hebes, dagos, niggers, honkies, chinks." "You name it." " How does he feel about Mexicans?" " Ask him!" "Especially spics." "Hey!" "There's a guy on the roof over there!" "On Stockton Street by Washington Square." "You, on the roof!" "You, there!" "Yes, you." "Stop what you're doing." "Turn around and put your hands in the air." "I don't know how the helicopter boys lost him!" "How could they let him get out of the building without seeing him?" "They were probably talking instead of looking, like they were supposed to." "That's possible." " All units, attention, all units." " Turn that thing up little louder." "...information about prowler last seen in the vicinity of Washington Square." "He is an adult male." "Caucasian." "Repeat, adult male Caucasian." "When last seen, the suspect he was wearing tan chinos pale blue shirt, brown coat or sweater, dark gloves." "He's caring a tan suitcase which probably contains a 30-06 rifle." "He's wanted..." "Those loonies!" "They ought to throw a net over the whole bunch!" "I know what you mean." " There!" " What?" "Tan suitcase." " Where?" " I lost him." "There he goes, over there." "Does that bag look tan?" "I don't know, I haven't even seen son of a bitch yet." "Go to Filber and hang a left." "Look out for these people!" " Fruitcake!" " Get out of the way, hammerhead!" "It was a tan suitcase." "I know it was." "I know it was." "I saw him." "I saw him." " There he is, right over there!" " I see him." "Car 2, the license number at 10-32 on that Chevrolet, Colorado plates." "How do you want to work this?" "You find another entrance." "I'll go in here." "Car 2, what's the model of that Chevrolet?" "Car 2." "It's an Impala convertible." "10-4." "You can cancel that 10-25." "Three cars here." "Anybody home?" " I brought you a nice present." " Let me see it." "It's beautiful!" "Why don't you go get a nice container of egg rolls?" "You getting an eyeful?" "You goddamn pie hawker!" " We should call the police." " I am a police..." "Hold it!" "Up against the wall." "Right now!" "Move." " Let them go." " Let them go?" " You heard me." " They assaulted a police officer." "A police officer!" "Why he was standing on a can peeking in on Hot Mary and her boyfriend?" "Beat it." "Get out of here!" " How about the man with the suitcase?" " Wrong number." "I just had another thought." "Yeah?" "About what?" "About why they call you 'Dirty Harry'." "Inspector 71." "Inspector 71." "Please respond to your call." "Inspector 71." "Do you read me?" " This is inspector 71." " I've got an 8-0-4 in progress." "California Hall at Polk and Turk streets." "10-4." "We're on our way." "It's some idiot." "Where?" "I don't see him." " There he is." " Yeah." "Now I see him." "I have a 10-29 and a 10-28." "In 600 block of Baker." "On a Chevrolet." "California license D-dog, C-Charles, V-Victor 4-7-2." "We thought it was your sniper but it turned out to be a suicide attempt." " Anybody try to talk him down?" " Yeah, no luck." "But now you're here..." " You mean, I go up." " We'd sure appreciate it." "Don't you try to get me!" "Not me." "You're the one who wants to get yourself killed." "Not me." "Always happens with you guys." "The last minute you want to grab onto somebody, take somebody with you." "Down you go." "Not me brother!" "Won't you try to grab me?" "A friend of mine was up about 20 floors with a jumper a few years ago." "The jumper grabbed him and they went off 20 floors down." "Mashed all over." "Couldn't tell which legs was with which, which arms with which..." "It was a terrible mess." "I tell you, I almost threw up myself." "I'd just like your name and address, that's all." "Why?" "It's such a mess down there afterwards!" "It makes identification impossible." "Even if they find your driver's license!" "All that blood in everything!" "I think..." "I think I'm going to puke!" "I don't do that, son." "All those people down there looking up." "The fire chief looking up." "With his face..." "You run, bastard!" "Get the stretcher up here." "Now you know why I'm called 'Dirty Harry'." "Every dirty job that comes along." "Inspector 71." "Inspector 71." "This is inspector 71." "Got something for you." "Corner of Sierra and Texas." "A young boy, Negro." "What about him?" "Shot in the face." "Blew part of it away." "Anybody know who the boy is?" "His name was Charlie Russell." "I'm his mother." "He's only 10 years old." "Inspector, this officer..." "Oh, Jesus Christ!" "You'd better go check on the mother." "What do you have?" "That 30-06 shell casing." "He was up here all right." "Welcome to Homicide." "You know, the man who designed blue serge uniforms for police departments has to sell these for a living!" ".458 Magnum?" " This thing will stop an elephant." " Yeah." " Apparently you like a little edge." " All I can get, sir." "He's no elephant, Harry." "He's no animal of any kind." "What have you got, lieutenant?" "As you know chief, the blue flags represent the units that are going to be on duty by dark tonight." " Double shifts and overtime." " Just at nighttime." "Daylight, the helicopters will keep him off the roofs." "We're going for high visibility." "I protocol all units will make themselves very noticeable." " Except here." " Right." "The North Beach area." "We're saving that for him." " Have you found a good stakeout?" " I think so." "It's a building that overlooks the roof where they spotted him yesterday." "Something bothering you?" " Nothing." " Speak up." "You're among friends here." "It seems a long shot that he'd come back to the same roof." "There are a lot of rooftops in San Francisco." "Most of them are locked." "This particular one'II be open for him." "These sick guys have behavior patterns." "We know they'll rob the very same store 3, 4 times in a row." "Must appeal to their superego or something." ""Scorpio strikes again"." "They like that feeling." "There's one other reason why he might pick the same rooftop." "He's got a clear view of the St. Peter and Paul's Church." "And they're having a novena tonight." "Go on." "The note." "He threatened to kill a catholic priest or a Negro." "The Russell boy was black." "He may just figure he owes himself a padre." "Inspector 71." "We're in position to start our surveillance." "How about the priest?" " He knows he's being set up for bait?" " Yeah, he wanted to." "We told him we had a volunteer willing to take his place." "Who?" "Never guess." "Yeah, I know." "Welcome to Homicide." "You owe it to yourself to live a little, Harry." "Son of a bitch took the bait!" "When I say "now", hit him with the light." "Now!" " You all right?" " I think so." "Call an ambulance." "Collins never knew what hit him." "Let's go." "Clear the alley." "There's nothing to see." "Call headquarters." "He's loose in North Beach." "It's a whole new ball game, fellows." "He grabbed a 14-year-old girl." "Ann Mary Deacon." "The bomb squad got a call." "Suspicious object in Golden Gate Park." "It was addressed to the mayor." "The lab sent it to us, with this letter inside." ""Ann Mary Deacon, buried alive."" "The poor kid went to the movies last night and never came home." ""Double-crossing San Francisco police made me do this."" ""Now ransom $200.000, in used tens and twenties."" ""One man with yellow bag."" ""South side Marina." "Green East Harbor."" ""9 p.m."" ""She has oxygen till 3 a.m. tomorrow."" ""Red panties and bra." "Nice tits."" ""Mole on left thigh." "Anything cute and you'll force me to let girl die"" ""of slow suffocation."" "Signed "Scorpio"." "Anything else?" "The mother identified the bra the hank of hair and that." "The dentist identified that." "Said it was pulled out with a pair of pliers." "You know she's dead, don't you?" "All I know is the letter says she'll be alive until 3 a.m." "The mayor's out trying to put the money together now." "He's using up a lot of favors." "He wants to pay." "No tricks." "We're looking for a bag man." "You want the job?" "You got it." " Be in the chief's office at 6 p.m." " All right." " Wait a minute." "What about me?" " You're out." "No cover?" "Not even one man?" "Are you sure that's how to do it?" "I'm not sure!" "But those are my orders." "All right?" "No wonder they call him 'Dirty Harry'." "He gets the shit end of the stick." "One more word and you're chopped off at the ankles." "Al, let's split the difference." "Give him the night off." "Get the hell out of here, both of you." "Testing 1, 2, 3..." " What are you yelling for?" " All you have to do is whisper." ""Mary had a little lamb, its fleece as white as snow."" "Okay, that's better." "It's good for 2 or 3 blocks." "But in a tunnel forget it." "All right, Sid." "What do I owe you?" "Bring it back in one piece." "$200.000." "Count it and sign for it." "Did you count it out?" "Did you count it, chief?" "It's not my responsibility." "Always knew I'd get rich on the police force." "Just make sure nobody takes it away from you." "God knows how he'll contact you." "He'll probably run you all over town." "Go where you're told." "Do what you're told." "Play it straight down the line." "Okay?" "Nothing cute." "Nothing fancy." "Just pay the ransom money and report back here." "Would you mind if I borrowed a little Scotch tape?" "It's disgusting that a police officer should know how to use that weapon." " You got a yellow suitcase?" " Yeah, I got it right with me." " What's your name?" " Callahan." " What are you?" " Police officer." "Hello?" "All right, police officer this is how we play." "I bounce you all over town to make sure you're alone." "If I even think you're being followed, the girl dies." "If you talk to anyone." "I don't care even if it's a Pekinese pissing on a lamppost the girl dies." " Is the girl okay?" " Just shut up and listen." "No car." "I give you certain time to go from phone booth to phone booth." "I ring 4 times." "You don't answer by the fourth ring" "I'll hang up, that's the end of the game." "The girl dies." "What time you got?" " 9:30." "Now listen..." " You listen." "I'm watching you." "Not all the time, but you'll never know when or where." "Now get to Forest Hills Station as fast as you can." "Understand?" " Yeah." " I hope you're not stupid." "Downstairs." "Take the "K" car." "Get off at Church and 20th." "Hurry up, or you'll blow it." "You sound like you had a good rest." "You'll need it." "I'm going to give you a nice little run this time." "You better make it, because if you don't, dead girl!" "Public phone, hamburger stand, Aquatic Park." "Hubba-hubba-hubba, pig bastard." "What's in the bag, man?" " You dudes get lost now, you hear?" " Screw the bag!" "Just give us the wallet." "You don't listen, do you, asshole?" "Don't answer that!" " Who picked it up?" " Some old guy." "Never saw him before." "Chico, he hung up." " You know Mt." "Davidson Park?" " Yeah." "Go to the cross." "I'm at the entrance on Lansdale Street." "I'm going up." "I see a couple of people." "Just a couple of kids necking." ""Boys and girls..."" "I'm Callahan." "My friends call me Alice." "And I will take a dare." "Alice, when was the last time you were busted?" "If you're a vice, I'll kill myself." "Well, do it at home." "Freeze!" "Just like a statue." "That's right." "One wrong move, anything, I don't care." "I'll kill you and the girl both." "Understand?" "Yeah." "Drop the bag." "Left hand." "Let's see the gun." "My!" "That's a big one." "Left hand." "Throw it." "Easy." "Raise your hands." "Come on, get them up." "Now turn." "Face the cross." "Come on." "Put your nose right up against the cement." "You lift that hand once more and I won't let you know where the girl is!" "Do we understand each other?" "Do we understand each other?" "Don't pass out on me yet!" "No, no." "No, no." "Not yet." "Not yet!" "Don't pass out on me yet, you rotten oinker!" "Do we understand each other?" "If you care what happens to the girl, you'd better answer me!" "All right?" "Now listen to me carefully." "I've changed my mind." "I'm going to let her die." "I just wanted you to know that." "You understand?" "I just wanted to make sure you knew that before I killed you." "Goodbye, Callahan!" "Chico, don't kill him!" "The hospital report on Gonzales looks okay, chief." "Yeah." "Well, he's a pretty tough kid." "Harry Callahan is right here." "He's got two cracked ribs." "They want to do some more tests on him in the morning." "The son of a bitch really kicked him a couple of beauts." "I'm sending him home." "Right, chief." "He says beat it!" "That's an order." "The chief wants to know if I misunderstood his orders." "Meaning, am I just plain stupid or did I deliberately disobey him?" "He wants to know what Gonzales was doing there." "He wants to know why we screwed everything up." "What am I going to tell him?" "Why don't you start by telling him the truth?" "Tell him Gonzales was obeying orders from a superior." "Me." "Tell him you didn't know anything about it." "When this is over, if he wants my badge, he can have that too." "You wouldn't have a belt of booze around here, would you?" "Lieutenant Bressler's office." " Put him on." " What is it?" "It's Park Emergency." "They just treated a guy who had a knife wound in the leg." "Yeah, doctor?" "What'd this guy look like?" "Long blond hairs medium build, about 150 pounds." "Pale complexion." " He didn't give you his name, doc?" " Nope." "They usually give a phony name in any case." "But I've seen him someplace." "Look doc, it's very important you try to remember." "There's a 14-year-old girl who's suffocating." "I'm trying to think!" "I'm trying to think!" "It was..." "I believe he works around here." "Excuse me doctor, could you give him something for his chest?" "He's in terrible pain!" "Yes, just a moment." "She'll be dead in an hour!" "I'm trying to remember!" "I've got who he is." "When they had football, he used to sell programs at the stadium." "I think the groundskeeper lets him live there." " Live where?" " There." "Kezar Stadium." "Illegal entry." "No warrant." "Looks like we climb." "Too much linguine." "I'll find another way." "Stop!" "Don't do anything more!" "You tried to kill me!" "You need any help?" " Go on and get some air, fatso." " Please!" "No more!" "Can't you see I'm hurt?" "You shot me!" "Please, don't!" "Let me have a doctor!" "Please, get me the doctor!" "Don't kill me!" "The girl, where is she?" "You tried to kill me!" "If I did, your head would be splattered all over this field." "Where's the girl?" "I want a lawyer." "I said, where's the girl?" " I have the right for one." " Where's the girl?" "I have the right to a lawyer!" "Don't!" "Please!" "I have rights." "I want a lawyer!" "Harry Callahan." "He said it was urgent." "Yes inspector, the district attorney has been wanting to talk to you." " It's inspector Callahan." " Have him come in, please." "Won't you come this way?" " May I bring you in a cup of coffee?" " No, thanks." "I'll be done in a minute." "Have a seat." "I've just been looking over your arrest report." "A very unusual piece of police work." "Really amazing." "I had some luck." "You're lucky I'm not indicting you for assault with intent to commit murder!" "Where does it say you've got a right to kick down doors, torture suspects?" "Deny medical attention and legal counsel?" "Where have you been?" "Does Escobedo ring a bell?" "Miranda?" "You must have heard of the 4th Amendment!" "What I'm saying is, that man had rights." "I'm all broken up about that man's rights." "You should be." "I've got news for you." "When he's well enough to leave the hospital, he walks." "What are you talking about?" "He's free!" "You're letting him go?" "We have to." "We can't try him." "And why is that?" "Because I'm not wasting half a million tax dollars on a trial we can't possibly win." "The problem is, we don't have any evidence." " What do you call that?" " I call it nothing." "Zero." "You're saying that ballistics can't match the bullet up to this rifle?" "It does not matter what ballistics can do!" "This rifle might make a nice souvenir." " But it's inadmissible as evidence!" " And who says that?" "It's the law." "Then the law is crazy!" "This is Judge Bannerman of the appellate court." "He also holds classes in constitutional law in Berkeley." "I've asked him for an opinion." "Your Honor?" "In my opinion, the search of the suspect's quarters was illegal." "Evidence obtained thereby, such as that hunting rifle for instance is inadmissible in court." "You should have gotten a search warrant." "I'm sorry." "It's that simple." "Search warrant?" "There was the girl dying!" "She was, in fact, dead according to the medical report!" "But I didn't know that!" "The court would have to recognize the police officer's legitimate concern for the girl's life but there is no way they can possibly condone police torture." "All evidence concerning the girl, the suspect's confession all physical evidence would have to be excluded." "There must be something you can get him on!" "Without the evidence of the gun and the girl?" "I couldn't convict him of spitting on the sidewalk!" "Now, the suspect's rights were violated under the 4th and 5th and probably the 6th and 14th Amendments." "And Ann Mary Deacon, what about her rights?" "She's raped and left in a hole to die!" "Who speaks for her?" "The district attorney's office!" "If you'll let us." "I have a wife and 3 kids." "I don't want him on the streets any more than you do." "He won't be out there long." "What is that supposed to mean?" "I mean sooner or later he will stub his toe and I'll be there." "This office won't stand for any harassment!" "You're crazy if you think you've heard the last of him." "He's gonnal kill again." "How do you know?" "Because he likes it." "You sure you weren't tailed?" "Yeah." "You really want $200 worth." "Every penny of it." "Might as well be comfortable." "Go on, sit." "Relax." "Take it easy." "It's going to be all right." "You sure you want the rest of it?" "Every penny's worth!" "You black son of a bitch!" "This one's on the house." "That's got to be him." "Exuse me, sir." "Are you claiming that the San Francisco Police did this to you?" "I swear it." "As God is my judge." "Why did they do that, sir?" "Why are they harassing you?" "I don't know." "They tried to frame me with the dig and girl murder." "And now they're trying to murder me." "And look at me!" "Just look at me!" "I'm supposed to be innocent until proven guilty and look at what they did to me." "Everywhere I go cops follow me." "And just look at me!" "Just a minute, nurse." "Let me ask him one more question." " Did you see who did this to you?" " Yes" "Can you identify him?" "His name is Callahan." "He's a big cop." "Works Homicide." "Callahan." "Now, that's the rerun from the 4 o'clock news." "Since then he's given a statement to 'The Chronicle'." "He claims you've been following him." "And beat him up." "What about it, Harry?" " You want my star?" " I want an answer." "Have you been following him?" "Yeah, I've been following him on my own time." " Anybody can tell I didn't do that." " How?" "Because he looks too damn good, that's how!" "Before I let you go, let's get one thing straight." "I don't want any more surveillance!" "Neither does he." "What does that mean?" "Good night, sir." "Go ahead." "Try them." "Guy makes them in place where I eat all the time." "Thank you." "I've been talked to Bressler about being on permanent with me." "So you should know you got a spot when you get out." "I don't know if I am coming back, Harry." "Doing a lot of thinking about it and..." "I have a teaching credential." "And I figure... what for?" "You know?" " Time for therapy." " You hang in there now." "See you tomorrow." "Same time?" " It's my fault, you know." " What?" "His leaving." "I thought I could take it." "No class." " Don't ever say that." " What?" "Don't ever low-rate yourself." "What I meant was, whatever it takes to be a cop's wife" "I'm just not sure I'm making it." "He really tries, and all these bastards" ""pig" this, "pig" that." "But maybe it's when I watch him walk out that door at night." "And I think... what if it's the last time I see him?" "Am I the only one?" "Doesn't it drive your wife crazy?" "No." "You mean she got used to it?" "No, she never did, really." "What, then?" "She's dead." "Please, forgive me." "She was driving home and a drunk crossed the center line." "No reason for it, really." " I'm so sorry." " That's okay." "I want you to tell Chico that I understand him quitting." "I think he's right." "This is no life for you two." " Why do you stay in it, then?" " I don't know." "I really don't." "Let me have a fifth of Seagram's." "Please." "What the hell happened to you?" "My wife's brother." "I hit her so he hit me." "Several times." "$5,69." "You're the guy that's been robbed all these times." "14 times the last 3 years." "Last 2 times, I sent them out of here on platters." "I'm getting to be a pretty good shot." "And I always keep it right here." "Right where it's handy." "Please, I scare easy."
