"733, I'm confirming that 10-71 on vine and bargas." "Possible hit-and-run." "No other details." "Officers on scene?" "Negative." "This is 733." "We're 10-6 at vine and bargas." "10-4, 733." "You coming?" "Yeah, in a minute." "I'm just gonna make sure somebody else is coming, too." "It's a goddamn Fender bender." "Don't get too comfortable." "Shit." "Are you a witness, ma'am?" "I'm Carol." "All right." "Well, what happened here, Carol?" "Sorry." "It's all right." "Just got to turn your face or something next time." "Yeah." "Um..." "I'm just a little slow right now." "So, uh, did you witness it?" "Where's your car parked?" "What?" "So where's your car?" "Where are you parked?" "Um, well, see, um..." "I was hit..." "You were in the accident?" "And then they just backed up, and" "Where were you hit?" "What part" "What part of your truck was hit?" "Oh." "Um, my side, the driver's side." "Listen." "Do you think that you could get it started for me so I could take it to the stop 'n wash?" "Carol, I can take a look, but we're the police, ok?" "We're not triple-A, ok?" "I'll try to help out, but" "Well, I'm just asking you to stop being a cop for, like, two minutes, you know, and help me out." "Is that such a big deal?" "Mister?" "Officer, voice-over:" "I don't know what is was that started all these problems in my job." "Carol?" "Officer, voice-over:" "They got started, just the same." "Morning always said people hate cops." "Well, maybe that was it, but he said it like he thought it was gonna rain, like it didn't matter." "Calls were all the same to Morning, not even worth remembering, but he never seemed to have a problem with that." "I guess that worked for a while." "Francis." "You guys get a chance to meet officer Francis?" "Nice to meet you." "See you around the playground." "All right." "You Morning's new partner?" "Yeah." "Good." "That's good." "Good luck." "Sir, uh" "Welcome aboard." "Thanks." "Uh, Morning..." "What's he like?" "Francis?" "Ted Morning, your new partner in crime." "Rob Francis." "Listen." "Uh..." "We don't use sleepyville bullets around here." "Teflon slugs only." "No one tell you that?" "I'm sure mine will do the trick." "Here." "Why don't you hold on to these?" "I'll just get some from checkout." "They're not strictly department issue." "You understand?" "All the cops carry them." "Well, whatever you say." "You gonna drink that?" "Shit." "Come on." "Morning." "You guys have your ducks?" "Our what?" "Says here we're supposed to give them to kids who witness arrests." "For God's sake, why?" "I don't know." "This precinct have some sort of image problem?" "Beats the shit out of me." "Almost forgot my cuffs here." "Where you been, man?" "This here's Toby." "Does a great impression of a young John Wayne on heroin." "You taking me in or" "Don't interrupt me." "Man." "Understand?" "Huh?" "You understand what I just said to you?" "Huh?" "Ain't that complex a question, Toby." "Yes or no?" "Ahh." "Yeah." "I just want to ask you something, all right?" "What?" "You gonna take me in?" "No." "I knew it." "Fuck this." "Every fucking week." "Could I have a sip of that?" "Ahh." "You gonna do that John Wayne impression, or what?" "Fuck you, man." "You ain't gonna take him in?" "Just a damn kid." "Not good for much except smoking whatever drops in his lap." "You better pick that up." "It's a damn shame." "You want half this?" "What is that, blueberry?" "Cranberry." "Good for the water works." "No." "I'm ok." "Thanks." "Suit yourself." "You look fit." "You look like you take care of yourself." "You work out?" "Yeah, sometimes, nothing too intense." "Good because I can't stand fat cops." "Heh." "A lot of them on the north side get that way." "Guess you don't see a whole lot of action in the rest home areas, do you?" "Yeah." "Well, you'd be surprised." "Uh-huh." "Respond to a 10-50, 722 Mason street, corner of Mason and Pierce." "733 en route." "10-4, 733." "Let me tell you something, man." "That 8-Lane freeway separates two different worlds." "Yeah." "Well, you don't have to worry about me." "I'm a transfer, not a rookie." "Oh." "Heh heh." "Well, let's just say things around here" "It's just a little bit more sudden, you know?" "But I guess you know that." "I guess that's why you transferred, right?" "Divorce." "Got divorced." "You want" "You sure you don't want half of this?" "Yeah, I'm sure." "All right." "So I said, "fuck you if you think you're gonna hit me again."" "Mm-hmm." "So that's when you swung the bottle at him?" "Yeah, hard." "All right, but he hit your first?" "Yeah, right here." "Uh-huh." "Knocked me down." "Carla, I don't even see anything." "You sure?" "Of course I'm sure." "All right." "Now, he say why he hit you, then?" "And you know why?" "Huh?" "You know?" "I told her, if she ever saw him again," "I was gonna kick the shit out of her, and she did, so I am, brother." "You are what?" "I'm gonna kick the shit out of her." "Don't make threats in front of me, goddamn it." "No, man." "You know what I'm talking about." "I didn't just do it." "I had my reasons, man." "And there was this guy in this dream I had, but we weren't doing anything." "He was just there." "He was just in my fucking dream, and then he hit me." "Because of a dream?" "I'm telling you the truth." "So, Carla, listen." "If you knew he was gonna get mad, then why'd you even mention it to him?" "It just came up." "What the fuck does that matter?" "Hey, you watch the language now." "I'm trying to help you." "I've arrested you before, haven't it?" "Yellow rose bar?" "I don't know." "What'd I do?" "Fighting?" "That's right." "Last month." "Shit, then you know what I'm talking about." "That's the guy who was screwing around with my girl." "That's the guy." "He's the one I fucked up that night, brother." "The one you fucked up that night." "Yeah." "Well, I must've brought the other guy in, then, not you." "I must've brought the other guy in because the guy I brought in was the fucked up one." "Yeah?" "He was fucked up enough." "On top of that, he wasn't screwing your wife." "As a matter of fact, actually, I recall him saying something else to piss you off." "Huh?" "What did he say?" "He said he was in love with my wife." "Ha ha!" "Oh, here it is." "He said," ""I wouldn't touch your wife in her dreams."" "Actually, I remember him saying he wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire, but then you hit him." "I mean" "You tried to shitcan that guy." "He could've taken out 12 of you." "No, no." "See..." "You are the one I brought in that night, brother." "Hey." "This guy fucking kills me." "So what do you think?" "Let's take him in." "Let's take Victor in." "She clocked him with a bottle." "Self-defense, man." "I don't think he hit her at all." "Let's get this done." "All right." "Well, I'm taking her in, too." "I don't want to be here all day." "What are you doing?" "He pushed me." "This is not right." "You don't understand what he does to me." "Shut up, Carla." "Why are you doing this to me?" "Don't you get it?" "He pushed me." "Hey, book her for assault and family violence." "What?" "All right." "I'll do the booking slip and meet you downtown." "Ok." "Oh, my God." "Hey, buddy." "Hey, pal." "My cuffs are too tight, man." "Can you loosen them up?" "They're starting to hurt." "Morning, I got to tell you, this woman" "Shut up, Victor!" "You handle the next one, all right?" "Goddamn it." "Cranberry juice?" "Where?" "Third from the end." "From" " Third from" "What, your end or my end?" "Um, well, my end-- My end is this" "Where?" "It's the closest one to me." "Aw, hell." "Oh, I got it." "I got it." "Like a goddamn I.Q. Test here." "Hey, you got them Dale Earnhardt cars?" "What?" "Race cars?" "Die-cast model jobs?" "No." "Man." "Figures." "Ok." "Um..." "Juice is $1.50." "Oh." "Yeah." "Ok." "There you go." "I guess, uh" "I guess Cranberries are pretty important to him." "Ha!" "Yeah." "I could tell." "He says it's for his water works." "Ha ha ha!" "Ha ha!" "Um..." "I think that's just for yeast infections." "Is that right?" "Ha ha ha!" "Well, I'm not gonna be the one to tell him that." "Um..." "Hey." "I, uh..." "This ain't a cinderblock." "It's a brick." "Don't you know a brick when you see one?" "Excuse me." "Hold on just for a minute." "I don't have to put it down." "This is my brick." "What's going on?" "What did I do to you?" "Pcp." "I hate these fuckers." "Well, how do you know it's" "Morning, just hold on for a minute, all right?" "Hey, sir." "How you doing?" "What's going on?" "Nothing!" "What you want?" "I just want to know what's going on." "What's the deal with that brick?" "Ain't doing nothing!" "All right." "Well, why don't you put that brick down now?" "I can't." "This is my brick." "Yeah?" "Well, why do you need it?" "Because it's my brick!" "That's why I need it." "That's all you need to know!" "All right, all right." "Just take it easy, all right?" "Why the hell does everybody want my brick?" "I don't know." "Just relax, ok?" "I can have a brick, can't i?" "I can have a brick if I want!" "Oh, Jesus Christ." "Hey!" "Oh, goddamn." "Oh, my God." "Uhh." "Oh, my God!" "Morning, what the hell?" "Goddamn." "Oh..." "Shit." "Morning?" "Morning?" "Come here for a second." "Yeah?" "What the hell is wrong with you, man?" "Had to do something." "You didn't have to do that, for Christ's sake." "He had a brick." "Hey, do me a favor." "Don't do this now, when there's people around." "You got something to say, say it later, all right?" "Think this taser is fucked up." "Should've gone down sooner." "Hey, come on." "Let's get you turned over." "Can't go walking around with heavy objects." "What did you do that for?" "Well, um..." "We didn't know" "We had to do something." "He had a brick." "He's a harmless old man." "He's just a little crazy, but he never hurt anybody." "Hey..." "You got a complaint?" "Yeah, I do." "Register it." "To who, another cop?" "Pendejo." "Hey..." "You can't be everybody's friend." "Remember that." "Yep." "Hmm." "Someone dump beer cans on your lawn?" "Yes, sir." "I believe it's that guy over there." "Is he over there?" "Yes, sir." "What, this guy across the street?" "Yes, sir." "I believe it is." "Because he got beer cans in his lawn." "Scattered all over, the same brand as these." "You got any full ones?" "No, sir, but there's a whole bunch of these things scattered out all over my yard." "Hey, how come you don't wear your seat belt?" "Because if I got to get out of this car," "I don't want to be fucking with my seat belt." "Kids come along, they see you don't have a seat belt." "You're a cop." "You're supposed to uphold the law." "Well, if the kids are watching what I'm doing, then they're already" "They're already in trouble." "Fucking resist me, asshole." "Don't resist me." "You got him?" "I got him." "I got him." "Stop moving around." "That creep pissed in my yard." "Ooh!" "Ho!" "What's my time?" "Damn." "I knew I should've been a cowpoke." "Get him out of here." "I still think Ali would kick Tyson's ass." "No." "You got to think, like, back then, people were just weaker and smaller." "All right." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "I don't know." "He would rope-a-dope on Tyson." "Go home." "That's it." "Get home." "Get." "You, too, Rambo." "Yo." "There you go." "Don't trip." "Batman was a real badass." "Man, Batman was a pedophile." "Pedophile?" "The boy wonder?" "What's that about?" "I always wanted to be aquaman." "I thought he was cool." "Well, nothing happens underwater, so that makes sense." "All right." "That's it, like this." "Put your hands over your head, ok, that it?" "Yes." "Don't mess with my hair." "All right." "Put it back in your pockets now." "You have a light?" "Give me your right hand." "Aw, this isn't necessary at all." "It is necessary, ma'am." "Yeah." "You were just hanging out with your friend." "That's what I do all night with my boyfriend." "Hey, Morning, come here for a second." "Look." "There's a kid right there." "Come on." "What happened to the other one?" "Let her go." "You let her go?" "Yeah." "How you doing?" "You all right?" "Yeah." "You a thief?" "Yeah." "What's the judge say?" "I got to wear the sign." "Yeah?" "You know, he also say no hat." "He don't want you wearing a hat." "You weren't fixing to go in there and wear this hat, were you?" "No." "Mm-heh-heh." "Uh-huh-huh." "All right." "You be good?" "You're gonna stop stealing?" "Yes, sir." "All right." "When you stop stealing, you mend your ways," "I'm gonna get this back to you, all right?" "Son of a bitch!" "Carla?" "Victor?" "I don't know what the hell" "You fucking crazy bitch, what the hell is wrong with you?" "Everybody shut up!" "She cut me with that fucking knife!" "I want to press full charges, my man, officer." "Then I want her cuffed around the fucking ankles." "My makeup." "Hey, come on." "God." "You know what?" "You want her cuffed around the ankles?" "Hey, man." "You're arresting the wrong person, man." "She's the one you ought to be taking in, man." "Give me your handcuffs." "Give me your goddamn cuffs!" "That's just like what I'm gonna do." "Carla, just calm down, all right?" "This carpet stinks!" "Don't waste your phone call on me." "What about the cuts?" "Dude, I need a paramedic." "She cut me with a dirty-ass knife." "I didn't do anything!" "Come on." "Please." "Please." "All right." "I didn't mean to scream, man." "Grab an arm." "Grab an arm!" "Don't take me out like this." "Out we go." "Damn it!" "Fuck!" "Knock it off!" "What the fuck are you guys doing, man?" "God." "People are watching!" "Damn it!" "Come on, man!" "What am i, an animal?" "Carla!" "Carla!" "All right." "You all right, Victor?" "No!" "What do you think?" "What are you, crazy?" "Hey, Morning, what about her?" "What about her?" "We just can't leave like this." "Give her one of them goddamn pamphlets or something." "Would you pop the trunk?" "Hmm." "Could you just throw that knife over there, please?" "Step back." "Step away." "Ok, Carla." "Listen to me." "This is information about domestic violence and how to get a restraining order, ok?" "And here we got the number for the women's shelter." "Is something funny?" "I'm sorry for laughing, all right?" "I can laugh if I want to." "It ain't against no fucking law." "Ok." "Shit." "I want a lawyer." "I want a court-appointed attorney, man." "Can you step out here a minute?" "She's laughing it up in there and fooling around with that damn knife." "She defended herself." "Yeah." "How do you know?" "Because I'm a goddamn psychic." "Let's not be here all day, ok?" "That's why they got social workers." "Morning, that not what I'm talking about." "I'm talking about just doing our job." "He's the one threatened to beat her up, all right?" "Now, who's the most vulnerable here, huh, him or her?" "She's the one that's in there with a knife" "Shut your hole!" "You know, that's something for the judge to decide." "Screw judges." "Can we at least figure out what the hell is wrong here?" "I did, and he's in the goddamn car!" "You want to help people, you arrest them." "That's what you do." "You're a cop." "You arrest people." "You ok with that?" "Yeah." "I'm fine with that." "What the hell are you doing?" "I think she got a sister, too." "Hey, little girl." "What's your name?" "Celeste." "Celeste, you want a duck?" "There you go." "You got a sister, right?" "You give this to her, ok?" "Ok." "All right." "Now, you be well." "Run along." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Fuck it." "Let's go." "I want to remind you all that we're coming up on mother's day." "Remember to call yours on Sunday." "Hey." "For those of you who don't know, we get more battered-women calls on mother's day than any other time." "Additional medic vans and the fire department will be on call." "Officer Morning, your announcement?" "Uh, yeah." "Today the lunch club is gonna meet over at 806 Roosevelt." "What time was that?" "12:30." "Yeah." "Right. 12:30, and, uh..." "That's all I got to say." "All right, then." "You got hack and Houston?" "Yeah." "I got it." "Watch out for the Fender lizards." "Always, bud." "Seriously." "What's going on at lunch?" "Drop by a crackhouse over on Roosevelt, pay a little neighborly visit." "What for?" "Here." "Stop the car over here." "Right over here." "Stop the car." "What the hell you running for?" "Think I'm not gonna catch you?" "Clean up your act, Toby?" "I am not saying nothing." "You didn't even read me my rights." "You got the right to remove my boot from your ass." "You carrying or what?" "No, man." "I'm clean." "Ok." "So if we pull this rig over and I search you, you still clean?" "Huh?" "White friend." "Who's got the warrant?" "What?" "Who's got a search warrant?" "Ain't got one." "Besides, it's lunchtime." "Hey, boys!" "Hey, we still in previews, or has this shit started yet?" "Aw." "Slow." "It's real slow right now." "We've had some traffic." "Thanks, bud." "How are the kids?" "Good." "How are you doing?" "Good." "How's the new guy?" "He's good, man." "He's learning." "He's going all right?" "Now, is that some raggedy-ass shit right there?" "Oh, man." "This, I think, is a weak sandwich." "What the hell is wrong with that?" "Who made that, man?" "I did, but..." "Morning, where you going?" "I need some mustard on this." "Maybe the neighbors got some." "Ha ha ha!" "Shit, man." "Sure you don't want mayonnaise?" "Make sure that's all you get!" "Yeah." "Knock a little louder!" "What's going on?" "Hey, um..." "My sandwich is kind of..." "Not sticking together properly." "I need a little mustard." "Come on now." "I can hear you in there." "Come on." "Hey, this is drier than shit." "Come on." "Hey, Ross, you're right, man." "This guy is nuts." "He's fucked up." "Fucked up shit right there." "You think it's that guy from across the street again?" "Mather." "His name is David Mather." "He's the only one lives over there now." "David Mather." "All right." "Now, did you see him do this?" "No." "Well, what do you think his beef is with you, anyway?" "I don't know." "Oh, he blocked my driveway once with his station wagon." "I asked him to move it." "That's the only time I ever really talked to the guy." "All right." "Well, unfortunately, there's really not a whole lot we can do for you right now." "We'll send somebody over here to cut down that" "What the hell is that thing?" "Opossum." "Listen." "I'm sorry for dragging you guys out here, but that guy is just not right." "Yeah." "Well, I'll tell you what." "I'm gonna give you my card, and you call us if you actually see him on the property or something like that, all right?" "Thank you, officers." "I appreciate it, really." "Ok." "Hey, and keep your doors locked." "Yes, sir." "Thank you." "How do think he caught that opossum?" "Can I help you?" "Um, yeah." "I'll take, uh, a juicy fruit." "25 cents." "What's the name of that woman who works here?" "Jessica." "You want me to get her?" "Uh, no." "It's ok." "Just" "Just the gum." "Adios." "That's what we come for?" "Gum."

"What did she leave on your arm?" "I had her goddamn name emblazoned below the corps, but she turned out to be a fucking cunt, so I had her taken off, if it's any of your goddamn business." "Fine."

"We can still go get them if you want us to." "Don't bother." "I got something for them when they get back." "Yeah, I bet." "All right." "Well, we better get going, so, um, good luck to you and your boys, all right?" "Ok." "Thank you, officer." "Yes?" "Hi, ma'am." "I'm officer Francis." "This is officer Morning." "Does Lisa Mather live here?" "Yes, sir." "Do" " Do you have to come in?" "No, ma'am, we don't have to." "Ok." "Stay here." "Hey." "Could you get that Earnhardt car, the 1/8 model?" "Could you find that?" "Used to go for 40 bucks." "You can't touch it for 250." "About the 1/24, the little ones?" "Plastic bottom, but" "Not die-cast?" "I don't know anything about it." "About what?" "You're here about David, right?" "Well, I don't know anything, and I don't want to know." "Well, do you know where he is?" "You mean, you don't have him?" "I mean, I thought you wanted me to testify or something." "No." "He has his hearing today." "We're just trying to locate him." "Ma'am, it's all right." "You don't understand." "He's watching me all the time." "I mean, could you come inside at least?" "That would be a worse idea." "Going inside would be worse." "Well, can you just go, then?" "Lisa?" "Shut up, mom!" "No, no." "Listen." "It's important." "You just can't help me right now." "He's an animal." "The man is the devil." "Good-bye!" "Lisa!" "Come on."

"I mean, kissing this girl's cheek is like getting to third base." "I says, "look." "I'm good at two things." ""The second thing is arresting people," ""so if you want some of that, bring it on," ""but if you want me to dump my emotions out on a silver platter, you took the wrong goddamn exit."" "Hell, Morning." "She actually got offended by that?" "Fat cop." "Man, that probably wasn't even what she was asking for." "No." "Look."

"Don't you want to keep me in the fucking oven for an hour?" "Go on." "Get." "Take these cuffs off." "Ain't gonna happen, Toby." "Now run!" "But I can't." "What the fuck are you looking at?" "I'll give you a count, Toby." "Morning, come on." "Cop can't shoot someone in the back, so your best bet is to run." "Shit!" "Why don't you just uncuff him, all right?" "I will." "Always comes back for his hat." "Ow!" "Goddamn cops." "I better go get him." "I'll do it." "Shit." "Aw, man, I know you didn't bring the fucking cops here." "No." "It's nothing like that."

"You want to go party with us?" "Good party, baby, rocking party." "Huh?" "Good time." "Ok, guys." "I have $11.70 here." "Come on." "You sure you counted that right, sweetheart?" "Come up with the rest of the money or put something back." "Hey." "Give us a break." "Our blood alcohol is dangerously low." "$11.70." "Get out of here." "Damn." "That shit's expensive."

"I guess it's hard to see past the badge sometimes." "Yeah." "Oh." "Thank you." "So you live around here?" "Uh, yeah." "No." "I just, um, I was just driving home, so I stopped by." "Thanks for the milk." "Anytime." "Take care." "You, too." "Ma, this is nothing." "Please." "No." "You belong to the law now." "I don't want you here." "Ma, he let me go." "Toby, what do you mean?" "Look at this." "Oh, ma!" "Don't you see it's all coming back on you now, mijo?" "Yo!" "Stop bringing up that shit, all right?" "Toby, don't you see your dad's looking down on you right now?" "He's looking at all of this." "What do you think he's saying about all of this?" "Ma, he split." "He's gone." "He's not dead." "He left." "He took off." "What is the matter with you?" "Toby, look." "You don't understand" "Just tell me where the goddamn saw is, and I'll fucking leave!" "Don't say that." "Ay!" "Don't start crying, ma." "Don't start." "Ay, Toby, mijo, please." "I can't take you when you start this shit!" "I get this call the other day, a theft in progress." "So I notice this lady walking kind of strange, and she's pregnant." "She's really big, right?" "She's, like, walking kind of funny like this, right?" "She's got a TV strapped against her legs." "That's funny stuff, Jake." "Well, yeah." "Check this out." "Instead of dropping the baby, she drops a 19-inch Magnavox color TV." "Fat cop." "Told that joke, like, 3 weeks ago." "Ooh." "There she is." "Ha ha ha!" "Remember we zapped that old fucker with the brick?" "We zapped, huh?" "You zapped." "I zapped?" "She got pissed off." "She got pissed off at the both of us." "Yeah." "I know." "You know, I saw her last night." "You saw her last night?" "No shit." "What happened?" "Well, I mean, we just talked." "I saw her" " I saw her at the food mart." "You just talked to her?" "So you just saw her over..." "All right." "All right." "She interested?" "I don't know, you know?" "I can never tell those things." "Nah." "She's interested." "Believe me." "They're all interested." "It's the job." "They all think we got these cool stories to tell." "They want us to be their knights in shining armor." "Maybe." "Maybe they want someone who's not a cop 24/7, though." "Forget it." "You are a cop." "Sooner or later, they realize all the crap you got to deal with every day." "Then they're not so interested anymore." "I don't know, Morning." "I mean, I used to-- I used to bring my job home every night." "I don't want to fuck up again." "You're thinking too much, partner." "There you are, fellas." "Thank you." "Thank you, Jean." "You complain too much." "Ok." "Oh." "That's two." "It's good for you." "Try it." "Excuse me, officers." "Sir, I'd like to make a citizen's arrest." "Wen, shut the fuck up, man." "Put you in the back of the patrol car." "Read you your rights." "Ha ha ha!" "Make a citizen's arrest, huh?" "What's your problem?" "I was drinking that." "Ha ha ha!" "Here we go." "Put you away for a long time." "Can I get a 10-3 out here?" "10-4. 2168..." "What's the problem, boys?" "It's nothing, officer." "We'll be quiet." "I'm sorry." "What's the matter with him?" "Nothing." "Was I talking to you?" "Hmm?" "Something funny?" "It's" " It's nothing, sir." "I'm sorry." "Is that your truck out there with the mattress sticking out the back?" "Uh, yes, sir." "Why don't you follow me outside?" "Go ahead." "10-36 at the men's warehouse parking lot, 2301 northwest of 14th." "10-4." "Your license, let's see it." "Come on." "Uh, I took care of that other thing a while back already." "Yeah, but you ain't got no license." "What?" "Your license." "You ain't go no license." "What the fuck?" "If I catch you driving this vehicle without a license, you're gonna get a spanking, all right?" "I'm gonna send you home to your mama and papa." "Go on." "Get." "Ha ha ha!" "That's funny." "It's a goddamn laugh riot." "I'm telling you, man." "I got up on that." "It was fucked." "Hey, foolio." "Yeah, you." "Come here." "Aw, man." "What's up, man?" "What's the hizz-naps?" "How's it going?" "It's all right." "It's all right." "Hey, listen." "You know Toby Perez, kid who hangs around here sometimes?" "Junkie with the greasy hair?" "Did I say he was a junkie?" "You seen him around?" "I don't even know, man." ""I don't even know, man."" "What is that supposed to mean," ""I don't even know, man"?" "You either have, or you haven't." "This is bullshit!" "You don't have to tell that cop anything." "Is that right, 'n synch?" "You got a permit for that open container?" "Hey, man, is this gonna take long?" "Because I really got to piss, man."

"This is a respectable establishment." ""B"..." "Well, I don't have a "B,"" "but "C," you are a good cop." "Why?" "Why am I a good cop?" "You're good with people." "So what?" "I'm good with people."

"You talk to them." "You seem to respect them." "I can't get through to anybody." "I can't get through to this kid." "I" "You're a good cop." "Don't ever doubt that." "And, uh, if you quit, it would be a disservice to the department." "You ok with that?" "I guess." "Could you bring him his beer, rose?" "Could you put a nipple on it for him?" "Is it rose or roseanne?" "Rosalinda." "Rosalinda." "Well, rosalinda, how would you feel about a little table dance?" "I'm just fucking with you." "Respond to a 10-58 silent alarm at the food mart on South Flores and Pyron street." "I'll go around the back." "Jessica, what happened?" "Are you ok?" "Jessica." "Jessica." "What happened to him?"

"Look at the mess I made." "You guys are gonna have to come out here and clean that up." "Who the fuck is that?" "Just want some goddamn hospitality." "Come on." "I can hear you in there." "Oh, no!" "I can hear you assholes in there." "It's that fucking cop!" "Come on." "Get out here." "Calm down, man." "If they had a warrant, they'd be in here already." "You guys want to play?" "I'll play." "You don't know, man." "He's nuts." "The guy's fucking crazy." "Look at this shit!" "Get out here." "Relax, man." "Chill out." "I just want some goddamn hospitality!"

"Toby?" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Is that you?" "Fuck!" "Toby, come on out!" "Come on out here, Toby." "Come on out and talk to me." "Hey, Toby." "Francis, voice-over:" "I can imagine a lot of things that happened that day." "I can imagine Morning, so glad he found Toby but never seeing what he had become or understanding why." "And I can imagine Toby standing in that doorway, the anger finally drained out of him..." "Maybe for the first time in his life feeling something close to an accomplishment." "I can imagine all that happened..." "Before those 6 blue-tipped slugs shot through him." "I know there was nothing I could have said or done to change who Morning was." "But I can imagine a lot of ways to change what happened that day." "Still, every time that door swings open," "Toby's standing there."
