"[ Police radio chatter ]" "[ Laughs ]" "Sherman, you should have seen the look on your face." "Priceless." "Jones:" "People will be talking about that "squeeze my hand" prank for years." "Yeah." "I hope you ladies learned an important lesson today." "Oh, yeah?" "What's that?" "Pranking is an art form." "You need to leave it to the pros." "Oh, all right." "Okay, Shermy?" "Yeah." "Okay?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Oh." "What the -- [ laughter ]" "What the -- whoo!" "Jones:" "Precision." "God." "[ Ughing ] Hey, Sammy, smile for the camera, baby." "[ Laughter ]" "You have something to say?" "Since when did killing your kid become an option?" "It's not the first time in history." "Dad thought he was doing the right thing." "Yeah, but to shoot your kid in the back of the head for something you were afraid he might do?" "[ Scoffs ] There were plenty of options he could have looked into for Justin." "Like what?" "Psychotherapy." "Uh, what?" "Medication, even institutionalizing him." "Nah, his dad probably knew deep down inside that none of those things would help, thought it might hurt his child a little bit more." "Whoa, so you're saying you would have done the same thing?" "No." "Hell, no." "But, you know, as twisted as it is, as a dad, I can kind of understand it." "Look, your children are a reflection of who you are -- your successes, your failures." "People deal with that burden differently." "You'll see." "See what?" "Well, you said that you were hormonal, so, I just thought " "All women get hormonal." "Well, congratulations..." "Just in case." "Looks good on you." "Good night." "[ Laughing ] Remember when we rolled up on that guy who shoved the plunger up his ass?" "I loved that guy!" "[ Lisping ] "I swear to God, officers, I fell on it."" "Right?" "Hope he got splinters." "When was that?" "It was like '98?" "No." "It was, uh -- it was '99." "It was just after Staples Center opened." "Man, where's all the time gone?" "Man, I don't know." "Hey, we're still standing, brother." "Right?" "By the grace of God." "Oh, yeah." "He's starting with his A.A. stuff again." "[ Laughs ] Hey!" "Hey!" "To Cooper!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Let's have another round!" "Another round, ladies!" "Come on, you guys!" "[ All cheering ]" "That's it." "I'm done." "Oh, come on!" "Nope." "I had a long day." "Gonna rack out." "Hey, you're not serious." "Absolutely." "Officer Cooper..." "It has been a pleasure, sir." "I love you, man." "I know you do, asshole." "And I mean that." "[ Laughter ]" "See ya, Coop." "Man, I have been through some shit with that guy." "John:" "Yep." "[ Laughs ]" "Thanks for coming, brother." "Tang:" "Hey, John!" "Let me walk you out before he starts 12-stepping us." "[ Both chuckle ]" "Thanks." "For what?" "For this." "It was nice." "It's important to celebrate people while they're still here, you know?" "[ Chuckles ] Yeah." "Hey, I got some news." "Um..." "I didn't really want to tell you before." "I didn't want to ruin your party." "Okay." "That jumper kid, Mike?" "He..." "He got someone from the hospital to remove his restraints, and he jumped off the 14th floor." "[ Sighs ]" "Yeah." "I know." "It was on the radio on the drive over." "You didn't say anything." "What's to be said?" "He was determined to jump." "It's just a waste for his friends and family, you know?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I mean, am I upset that another gay kid decided to check out because of some ignorant punks?" "Yeah." "Absolutely." "But I got him off the building, didn't I?" "That's what I was supposed to do." "I can't worry about what happens to them after I leave them." "It's hard not to." "You know, if I had, I never would have made it 22 years." "Good night." "Good night." "Hey, John." "I really hope you make it to 30." "Plus one day." "Plus one day." "All: [ Chanting ] Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Coop!" "Dewey:" "Hey, whoever's got the best Cooper caper," "I'm buying rounds for everybody, okay?" "[ All cheering ]" "But you got to beat this one." "All right?" "One night, Coop and I, it's like 2:30 in the morning." "We're rolling down Alameda." "We cruise up on this bus stop and we come across the biggest, meanest, nastiest crack whore in all of Newton." "I swear to God." "Nasty Irene." "You remember her?" "Yeah." "This bitch cannot stand Coop's ass." "We pull up and she starts going at him " ""nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee" -- right from the top." "All of a sudden she stops, stares him in the eye, and says, "you got any breath spray?"" "You know what he does?" "He reaches in his pocket, pulls out his mace..." "And blasts that bitch."
