"We want him caught red-handed, with hard evidence, so we can put him away for good." "Yes, sir." "So let me guess, fellows." "We're gonna stick this in the heel of our shoe, put it in a tube of toothpaste, something like that?" "I think we'II have to sneak this in the old-fashioned way." "What's the old-fashioned way?" "(GRUNTING)" "God, slow down." "We should go alone from here." "Good luck, secret agent man." "Take care of Uncle, okay?" "Uncle can take care of himself." "Oh, man." "What's the stick for, man?"
