'and our motors, of course.'

00:00:34,959 --> 00:00:38,311
You know, Ponch, the best
things in life are free.

00:00:38,354 --> 00:00:41,749
Free? It costs 25 cents
to cross this bridge.
10
00:00:41,792 --> 00:00:44,056
That's highway robbery.

What does it look

Can you call
the cops or something?
21
00:01:29,666 --> 00:01:31,146
I can't.
There isn't a phone.

What do we got going?

00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:34,976
Alright!
24
00:01:42,157 --> 00:01:43,419
I wonder what happened.
25
00:01:43,463 --> 00:01:45,117

00:02:46,961 --> 00:02:48,789
There were two of them,
they over there in the car--
31
00:02:48,832 --> 00:02:50,269
- Here's the keys.
- Great.
32
00:02:50,312 --> 00:02:52,184
They just attacked
the poor man over there.
33
00:02:52,227 --> 00:02:54,273
They were sitting over
there for about 10 minutes.
34

No, it was more like 15.
35
00:02:56,144 --> 00:02:59,060
- One of them had blond hair.
- They both have blond hair.
36
00:02:59,103 --> 00:03:01,584
- They jumped out of nowhere.
- The car was green.
37
00:03:01,628 --> 00:03:03,325
And they just grabbed
these two cases--
38
00:03:03,369 --> 00:03:05,414
Alright! Enough. Please.

00:03:05,458 --> 00:03:06,937

What happened? They robbed me.
That's what happened.

Took over $100,000 worth

Yeah, some guy jumps
in the car

00:04:21,273 --> 00:04:22,883
pushes me in the face.
51
00:04:22,926 --> 00:04:24,276
Good, then you
could probably identify
52
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:25,494
him if you saw him again.
53
00:04:25,538 --> 00:04:27,061

- What about me?
- Uh...
61
00:04:47,995 --> 00:04:49,518
The Sheriff's Department will
probably wanna talk to you.

00:04:49,562 --> 00:04:51,433

00:04:53,217 --> 00:04:55,394

to the side of the road, please?

I ran the plates
and they're hot.

00:08:57,940 --> 00:08:59,681

Uh, turned out
the car was stolen.
121
00:09:07,210 --> 00:09:11,432
Baker, you don't have to take
this down, you were there.

Ah, what's the, uh,
story here, guys?
177
00:12:20,621 --> 00:12:22,144
It's a sad one, sarge.
178
00:12:22,188 --> 00:12:23,711
Onions.
179
00:12:23,755 --> 00:12:26,018
Yeah, nice,
fresh yellow ones.
180
00:12:26,061 --> 00:12:28,934
Yeah, well, uh, let's make sure
it has a happy ending, huh?
181
00:12:28,977 --> 00:12:31,501
Hey, no problem, sarge.
182
00:12:31,545 --> 00:12:33,634
I'll get the truck moving.
183
00:12:33,677 --> 00:12:35,505
You're always
thinking, Frank.
184
00:12:35,549 --> 00:12:36,768
Argh.
185
00:12:36,811 --> 00:12:38,378
Boy, did you call Caltrans?
186
00:12:38,421 --> 00:12:40,032
Yeah, Fritz and, uh...
187
00:12:40,075 --> 00:12:41,294
[sniffs]
188
00:12:41,337 --> 00:12:42,556
...Baricza,
they're on their way.
189
00:12:42,599 --> 00:12:44,036
Hold it there!
190
00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:45,777
Good.
191
00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:47,866
Could I.. Do you have
a handkerchief, huh?
192
00:12:47,909 --> 00:12:49,345
Huh? Yeah.
193
00:12:49,389 --> 00:12:51,043
Uh, no,
that's alright.
194
00:12:51,086 --> 00:12:52,261
Oh, sorry.
195
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:06,667
Sir?
196
00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:08,669
We got to get your truck
off the road.
197
00:13:08,712 --> 00:13:10,410
I'll stop traffic
and tell you what to do, okay?
198
00:13:10,453 --> 00:13:11,803
Okay.
199
00:13:14,327 --> 00:13:15,545
[woman on radio]
'15-1, Mary 1'
200
00:13:15,589 --> 00:13:17,025
'11-24, number one lane'
201
00:13:17,069 --> 00:13:19,071
'northbound Pasadena Freeway,
south of--'
202
00:13:19,114 --> 00:13:22,291
Alright, now.
Back it up a little. Come on.
203
00:13:25,512 --> 00:13:26,992
No, hold it,
hold it, hold it.
204
00:13:27,035 --> 00:13:28,254
That's not gonna work.
205
00:13:28,297 --> 00:13:30,952
Take it forward
now, okay? Slow.
206
00:13:34,434 --> 00:13:36,784
Hey, wait, wait!
Wait a minute. Hey, stop!
207
00:13:36,828 --> 00:13:38,873
'Wait a minute!
What are you doing?'
208
00:13:38,917 --> 00:13:41,571
[Ponch]
Stop! Hey, mister, stop it!
209
00:13:43,617 --> 00:13:45,227
[comical music]
210
00:13:45,271 --> 00:13:46,838
[chuckles]
211
00:13:49,318 --> 00:13:50,798
[both laughing]
212
00:14:07,293 --> 00:14:09,295
[laughing]
213
00:14:12,602 --> 00:14:14,822
Ponch did say slow.
214
00:14:16,606 --> 00:14:19,131
[instrumental music]
215
00:14:23,657 --> 00:14:26,051
[Baker]
'H-hey, come on.
Stay downwind of me.'
216
00:14:26,094 --> 00:14:28,618
Hey, what happened
to all that buddy-buddy stuff?
217
00:14:28,662 --> 00:14:30,359
Yeah, that was before
you got sprayed.
218
00:14:30,403 --> 00:14:31,883
Okay, be that way.
219
00:14:31,926 --> 00:14:33,710
I'll get a job
in a French restaurant.
220
00:14:34,711 --> 00:14:35,756
Uh-oh.
221
00:14:45,766 --> 00:14:47,855
Hey, that was Mrs. Downey's
car, wasn't it?
222
00:14:47,899 --> 00:14:49,901
Yeah.
Every shiny inch.
223
00:14:51,293 --> 00:14:52,947
Come on, I wanna get
this stuff off, huh?
224
00:14:52,991 --> 00:14:54,601
I wanna change. Let's go.
225
00:14:54,644 --> 00:14:56,603
Okay.
226
00:14:56,646 --> 00:14:59,345
- And, uh, take a shower?
- Eh.
227
00:15:02,826 --> 00:15:05,351
- Uh, pay attention, please.
- Yes, ma'am.
228
00:15:05,394 --> 00:15:07,092
You see,
I haven't got all day.
229
00:15:07,135 --> 00:15:09,355
I can't stay here.
Yes, ma'am.
230
00:15:09,398 --> 00:15:10,617
Oh!
231
00:15:10,660 --> 00:15:12,097
There you are.
232
00:15:12,140 --> 00:15:13,925
And it's about time
you got here.
233
00:15:13,968 --> 00:15:16,449
You bet. How's it doin',
Mrs. Downey?
234
00:15:16,492 --> 00:15:19,365
Do you know, I've been waiting
for you for over an hour?
235
00:15:19,408 --> 00:15:22,020
- Yes, I want you to fix this.
- Oh, well..
236
00:15:23,543 --> 00:15:25,153
Excuse me a minute, Barkley.
237
00:15:25,197 --> 00:15:26,850
Mrs. Downey, if I talk
you over here a minute.
238
00:15:26,894 --> 00:15:30,376
- Yes, I want you to fix it.
- Listen, wait a minute. Fix it?
239
00:15:30,419 --> 00:15:31,855
Yes, just fix it.
240
00:15:31,899 --> 00:15:33,466
You're to pay off some turkey
241
00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:36,773
so it won't show up
on my good driving record.
242
00:15:36,817 --> 00:15:38,340
Oh, Mrs. Downey,
wait a minute.
243
00:15:38,384 --> 00:15:40,603
I mean, my partner
and I-I mean--
244
00:15:40,647 --> 00:15:43,215
It's that terrible
Officer Poncha-rib
245
00:15:43,258 --> 00:15:44,912
or something like that.
246
00:15:44,956 --> 00:15:47,523
- Yeah, yeah. He did that.
- Listen, look at that.
247
00:15:47,567 --> 00:15:49,047
This is nothing more
than a parking ticket.
248
00:15:49,090 --> 00:15:50,613
A $2 parking ticket
249
00:15:50,657 --> 00:15:52,311
and if you just take it
down there, they would--
250
00:15:52,354 --> 00:15:54,617
Yeah. The money
isn't the point.
251
00:15:54,661 --> 00:15:56,924
I'm a law-abiding citizen.
252
00:15:56,968 --> 00:15:58,795
I didn't mean to insult
you about money.
253
00:15:58,839 --> 00:16:00,493
It's just that, see,
this is not our department.
254
00:16:00,536 --> 00:16:02,190
This is LAPD.
The police department.
255
00:16:02,234 --> 00:16:04,714
We're California Highway Patrol.
Remember, the off-ramp?
256
00:16:04,758 --> 00:16:07,979
You're all friends.
You're all in cahoots.
257
00:16:08,022 --> 00:16:09,981
Sure, we are,
we're all in cahoots--
258
00:16:10,024 --> 00:16:12,461
'Yes, I-I,
I thought so.'
259
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:14,420
Well, we're not in cahoots.
260
00:16:14,463 --> 00:16:17,031
Oh, if my third husband
were alive today,
261
00:16:17,075 --> 00:16:18,728
I wouldn't be here now.
262
00:16:18,772 --> 00:16:21,383
You see, he used to get
things fixed lickety-split
263
00:16:21,427 --> 00:16:23,037
'just like that.'
264
00:16:23,081 --> 00:16:26,519
Wait a minute. You know
what, you're exactly right.
265
00:16:26,562 --> 00:16:28,695
I'll take care
of this for you, Mrs. Downey.
266
00:16:28,738 --> 00:16:30,566
I'll get it taken
care of right away.
267
00:16:30,610 --> 00:16:31,828
That's better.
268
00:16:31,872 --> 00:16:34,048
I knew you'd do
the right thing.
269
00:16:34,092 --> 00:16:36,442
You see, you're a good flatfoot.
270
00:16:36,485 --> 00:16:38,052
Sure.
271
00:16:38,096 --> 00:16:39,619
Flatfoot?
272
00:16:39,662 --> 00:16:41,490
Now, come with me, come along.
273
00:16:41,534 --> 00:16:43,318
No nonsense.
Come along. Hurry up.
274
00:16:43,362 --> 00:16:46,887
We better get busy. Come along
now. Come along. Don't argue.
275
00:16:46,930 --> 00:16:49,324
There, that's fine.
Alright.
276
00:16:49,368 --> 00:16:51,109
There's the door now.
One more step.
277
00:16:51,152 --> 00:16:52,588
One more step.
That's about it.
278
00:16:52,632 --> 00:16:55,069
- There we go.
- There we are. Okay.
279
00:16:55,113 --> 00:16:56,592
'Now, drive carefully,
Mrs. Downey.'
280
00:16:56,636 --> 00:16:59,334
Oh, there's no reason
to bother about me.
281
00:16:59,378 --> 00:17:02,685
I've been driving for 70
years without a scratch.
282
00:17:02,729 --> 00:17:05,079
Yeah, I could tell
by the, uh..
283
00:17:05,123 --> 00:17:07,342
By the car,
it's such a nice car.
284
00:17:07,386 --> 00:17:08,822
Now, scoot on in.
285
00:17:08,865 --> 00:17:10,258
Oh, it's a beauty
286
00:17:10,302 --> 00:17:12,043
- And I drive it so carefully.
- Yeah.
287
00:17:13,653 --> 00:17:16,177
Have a cookie.
Hot. They're fresh.
288
00:17:16,221 --> 00:17:18,397
Oh, well, thank you.
289
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,877
Hold this for a minute,
and I'll get one.
290
00:17:20,921 --> 00:17:22,227
There. Thank you.
291
00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:23,619
[chuckles]
292
00:17:23,663 --> 00:17:26,144
Oh, hey. My favorite,
chocolate chip.
293
00:17:26,187 --> 00:17:28,363
Oh, really. And you're CHP.
294
00:17:28,407 --> 00:17:30,496
Yeah.
Have a chippie, Chippie.
295
00:17:30,539 --> 00:17:35,805
[both laughing]
296
00:17:35,849 --> 00:17:37,024
You dig it?
297
00:17:38,591 --> 00:17:39,983
Oh, yeah, I dig it.
298
00:17:40,027 --> 00:17:41,246
[chuckles]
299
00:17:41,289 --> 00:17:43,596

[singing in Spanish]
302
00:18:01,135 --> 00:18:02,310
[chuckles]
303
00:18:02,354 --> 00:18:04,225
There. I'm good as new.
304
00:18:04,269 --> 00:18:05,661
Hey, what's that?
305
00:18:05,705 --> 00:18:07,359
Oh, that's a park
for Mrs. Downey.
306
00:18:07,402 --> 00:18:09,535
She asked me
if I'd take care of it.
307
00:18:09,578 --> 00:18:11,189
- Well, are you?
- Sure.
308
00:18:13,452 --> 00:18:15,367
Well, I'm gonna pay for it.
I mean, that's better
309
00:18:15,410 --> 00:18:17,586
than trying to explain
to her why she should, right?
310
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:20,198
Besides, uh,
she makes good cookies.
311
00:18:22,330 --> 00:18:24,811
Hey, that's good.
312
00:18:24,854 --> 00:18:26,378
Well, we all got our price.
313
00:18:26,421 --> 00:18:28,162
Uh-huh.
314
00:18:29,424 --> 00:18:31,339
Hey, what's with these books?
315
00:18:31,383 --> 00:18:33,602
- Are you collecting them?
- No.
316
00:18:33,646 --> 00:18:35,952
Then, what are
you doing with them?
317
00:18:35,996 --> 00:18:37,258
Let me see!
318
00:18:37,302 --> 00:18:39,260
Come on, hey,
people do read, okay?
319
00:18:39,304 --> 00:18:42,263
Hey, "Blue Knight,"
"The New Centurions."
320
00:18:42,307 --> 00:18:43,960
The Joseph Wambaugh fan, huh?
321
00:18:44,004 --> 00:18:46,180
That's right,
he's a terrific writer, okay?
322
00:18:46,224 --> 00:18:47,660
Hey, what's the matter?
323
00:18:47,703 --> 00:18:50,315
Don't you get enough cops
and robbers all day long?
324
00:18:52,055 --> 00:18:55,146
Ponch, come on, he's a cop.
He's one of us, okay?
325
00:18:55,189 --> 00:18:57,017
I mean, here's a guy,
in his own spare time
326
00:18:57,060 --> 00:18:58,714
he's writing about
his personal experiences.
327
00:18:58,758 --> 00:19:00,238
'Things that
have happened to him'
328
00:19:00,281 --> 00:19:03,589
'things he's seen,
people he's worked with..'
329
00:19:03,632 --> 00:19:06,592
Ponch, this is what a cop is,
from the gut level, okay?
330
00:19:06,635 --> 00:19:08,115
The gut level.
331
00:19:09,812 --> 00:19:13,816
Besides, he became famous
and he's rich.
332
00:19:13,860 --> 00:19:15,340
Well, I'll wait for
the movie to come out.
333
00:19:15,383 --> 00:19:17,255
You sound like his agent.
334
00:19:17,298 --> 00:19:19,474
The movie? They're
making movies on the thing.
335
00:19:19,518 --> 00:19:21,041
I mean, they're playing
right now, Downtown--
336
00:19:21,084 --> 00:19:23,348
Then, I'll wait
till it comes on television.
337
00:19:23,391 --> 00:19:25,219
If my set ever
gets fixed. Oh, hey..
338
00:19:26,089 --> 00:19:27,656
Uh, hey, Jon.
339
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:30,224
You think I could come over and
bring my TV sets so that--
340
00:19:30,268 --> 00:19:32,313
Oh, yeah, sure, Ponch,
just bring it by anytime.
341
00:19:32,357 --> 00:19:34,707
We'll check out the tubes
and everything, okay?
342
00:19:34,750 --> 00:19:36,012
Okay, will do.
343
00:19:36,056 --> 00:19:37,840
Okay, anytime.
344
00:19:45,848 --> 00:19:48,590
Okay, ma'am, the tow truck
will be here in just a minute.
345
00:19:49,896 --> 00:19:51,202
Hey, Jon.
346
00:19:57,730 --> 00:19:58,905
[tires screeching]
347
00:20:03,388 --> 00:20:04,650

LA 15-7,
Mary 3 and 4.
354
00:21:00,053 --> 00:21:02,664
We have a multiple southbound
Hollywood and Belmont.
355
00:21:02,708 --> 00:21:04,927
'Request assistance
and an ambulance.'
356
00:21:23,337 --> 00:21:25,034
I'll check over here.
357
00:21:28,255 --> 00:21:30,039
- Hey, are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
358
00:21:30,083 --> 00:21:32,607
- Everybody okay over here?
- Yeah, everybody's okay.
359
00:21:32,651 --> 00:21:35,610
I want you to step off the
freeway here on the shoulder.
360
00:21:35,654 --> 00:21:37,438
Okay, thank you.
Please walk down the freeway.
361
00:21:37,482 --> 00:21:39,353
And stay on the left
to the shoulder.
362
00:21:41,268 --> 00:21:42,704
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm alright.
363
00:21:42,748 --> 00:21:44,793
This guy here,
he cut into my lane.
364
00:21:44,837 --> 00:21:47,709
Walk down the shoulder of the
freeway. Stay on the shoulder.
365
00:21:47,753 --> 00:21:50,190
Hey, hey! Please help!
Get me out of here.
366
00:21:51,496 --> 00:21:53,149
- Try the window.
- I did.
367
00:21:53,193 --> 00:21:56,239
They're broken. No power.
Now, get me out of here.
368
00:21:56,283 --> 00:21:58,633
Try and calm yourself. We'll
have you out of here right away.
369
00:21:58,677 --> 00:22:01,375
- Just hang on a minute.
- No, no, I can't.
370
00:22:01,419 --> 00:22:02,985
Now, get me out of here.
371
00:22:04,291 --> 00:22:06,162
Come on, come on.
Come on.
372
00:22:11,951 --> 00:22:13,431
Come on.
373
00:22:15,346 --> 00:22:16,956
Hey, Barry, you wanna
take this traffic control?
374
00:22:16,999 --> 00:22:18,392
I'll check out
with Ponch, alright?
375
00:22:18,436 --> 00:22:21,047
Alright. Got it.
Let's go.
376
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:23,266
Hey, mister, don't panic.
We'll have you out in a minute.
377
00:22:23,310 --> 00:22:25,617
I told you I can't wait,
don't you understand?
378
00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:28,097
- Why not?
- There's a bomb in my car.
379
00:22:28,141 --> 00:22:29,664
- What?
- A bomb!
380
00:22:29,708 --> 00:22:31,840
- You're kidding!
- No, I ain't!
381
00:22:33,102 --> 00:22:34,713
[dramatic music]
382
00:22:34,756 --> 00:22:36,062
He ain't.
383
00:22:37,498 --> 00:22:40,283
Okay, slide over
and cover your eyes, alright?
384
00:22:48,074 --> 00:22:50,032
Okay, come on,
get out of there.
385
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:52,687
[Baker]
'Hurry up!'
386
00:22:55,298 --> 00:22:58,432
We got to find out why
you're chauffeuring a bomb.
387
00:23:01,479 --> 00:23:03,872
Okay.
388
00:23:03,916 --> 00:23:05,831
- You got him, Ponch?
- Yeah.
389
00:23:05,874 --> 00:23:07,354
Alright.
390
00:23:10,096 --> 00:23:12,185
Now, put your left
hand on your head.
391
00:23:12,228 --> 00:23:14,361
What do you mean, a bomb?
What kind?
392
00:23:14,405 --> 00:23:16,319
I ain't talking.
393
00:23:16,363 --> 00:23:17,843
Is it timed?
394
00:23:17,886 --> 00:23:19,235
When will it go off?
395
00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:21,107
I ain't talking.
396
00:23:23,239 --> 00:23:25,677
[Baricza]
'Let's go nice
and easy now. Let's go.'
397
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,070
- Hey, Barry.
- Shain, come here a minute.
398
00:23:29,985 --> 00:23:31,204
Listen, we've got a little
problem.
399
00:23:31,247 --> 00:23:32,640
We've got a bomb in that limo.
400
00:23:32,684 --> 00:23:34,207
Well, we've gotta
stop this traffic.
401
00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:36,644
Why don't we detour
them off the off-ramp?
402
00:23:36,688 --> 00:23:39,212
Hold it up, right there.
403
00:23:39,255 --> 00:23:42,607
LA 15-7, Mary 3, Code 33.
We have a bomb on the freeway.
404
00:23:42,650 --> 00:23:45,523
Folks, will you please move down
the shoulder of the freeway.
405
00:23:45,566 --> 00:23:47,220
Further down here, please.
406
00:23:47,263 --> 00:23:49,352
[woman on radio]
'7 Mary 3, what's your 10-20?'
407
00:23:49,396 --> 00:23:51,920
We're 10-97 southbound
Hollywood Freeway at Belmont.
408
00:23:51,964 --> 00:23:53,531
The freeway is blocked.
409
00:23:53,574 --> 00:23:56,795
Notify Sheriff's Department,
uh, bomb squad and S4.

[grunts]
413
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:09,503
Help me. So..
414
00:24:09,547 --> 00:24:11,462
[groans]
415
00:24:11,505 --> 00:24:15,553
S-some-somebody,
hel-help me!
416
00:24:15,596 --> 00:24:18,251
Somebody, help me, please!
417
00:24:20,601 --> 00:24:22,124
'Somebody, help me.'
418
00:24:22,168 --> 00:24:25,040
Please. Please.
419
00:24:25,084 --> 00:24:27,129
Help me, p-please.
420
00:24:28,609 --> 00:24:31,960
Try to calm yourself.
Help's on its way.
421
00:24:32,004 --> 00:24:33,701
Come on, Baker,
let's pull him out.
422
00:24:33,745 --> 00:24:35,834
Ooh. Just wait. Easy.
423
00:24:35,877 --> 00:24:37,662
- Here we go.
- Okay, ready?
424
00:24:37,705 --> 00:24:39,881
Oh, no!
Wait, wait, please, wait.
425
00:24:39,925 --> 00:24:41,579
[Ponch]
'Alright, stay calm.'
426
00:24:45,887 --> 00:24:47,802
No way we're gonna
get him out of there.
427
00:24:47,846 --> 00:24:50,239
'It's just locked in too tight.'
428

430
00:25:01,729 --> 00:25:04,515
Hey, listen, uh.
Try and stay calm, okay?
431
00:25:04,558 --> 00:25:07,387
We're gonna have you out of here
in no time. Help's already here.
432
00:25:10,303 --> 00:25:12,218
- What's it look like?
- Got a bomb in the back seat.
433
00:25:12,261 --> 00:25:14,350
and a victim's pinned
on the other side of my partner.
434

[male #1]
'Alright, we're gonna
have to make a hand entry'

'into the device.'
436
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,359
Hey, how you doing?
437
00:25:24,404 --> 00:25:25,840
I've seen better days.
438
00:25:25,884 --> 00:25:27,494
Listen, um..
439
00:25:27,538 --> 00:25:29,322
We're gonna have you
out of here in a flash
440
00:25:29,365 --> 00:25:31,759
'so just hang in, okay?'
441
00:25:31,803 --> 00:25:34,327
I guess I could fit
that on my schedule.
442
00:25:35,589 --> 00:25:37,460
Besides...
443
00:25:37,504 --> 00:25:40,072
I don't think I'm going
anywhere with that.
444
00:25:41,290 --> 00:25:42,988
Yeah, I guess, uh
445
00:25:43,031 --> 00:25:45,512
it does have a scratch
or two, doesn't it?
446
00:25:45,556 --> 00:25:46,774
[grunting]
447
00:25:46,818 --> 00:25:48,036
[groaning]
448
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:52,737
Easy, easy. Take it easy.
449
00:25:54,869 --> 00:25:56,349
Hey, what's going on?
450
00:25:56,392 --> 00:25:57,829
Uh, it's nothing
to worry about.
451
00:25:57,872 --> 00:25:59,221
- Who else you tryin' to kid?
- Hey, listen.
452
00:25:59,265 --> 00:26:00,745
I know a bomb squad
when I see one.
453
00:26:00,788 --> 00:26:03,356
It's just a precautionary
measure, alright?
454
00:26:03,399 --> 00:26:04,923
Why don't you step back there
with the rest of the people?
455
00:26:04,966 --> 00:26:06,359
Thank you.
456
00:26:10,537 --> 00:26:13,453
[instrumental music]
457
00:26:20,634 --> 00:26:22,157
What's going on over there?
458
00:26:22,201 --> 00:26:23,942
Oh, they're just trying
to move the car.
459
00:26:23,985 --> 00:26:26,597
No, they're not.
They're wearing asbestos.
460
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,033
You don't need that
to move a car.
461
00:26:28,076 --> 00:26:29,774
Hey, hey, try to
calm yourself, okay?
462
00:26:29,817 --> 00:26:30,992
It's gonna be alright.
463
00:26:33,734 --> 00:26:34,996
[instrumental music]
464
00:27:04,591 --> 00:27:06,549
I sure hope
they defuse that baby.
465
00:27:06,593 --> 00:27:07,942
Yeah, me too.
466
00:27:33,489 --> 00:27:34,839
I know what's wrong.
467
00:27:34,882 --> 00:27:37,232
- There's nothing wrong.
- Asbestos.
468
00:27:37,276 --> 00:27:39,800
That means fire or bomb.
469
00:27:39,844 --> 00:27:42,194
And I-I don't smell any smoke.
470
00:27:43,978 --> 00:27:45,197
It's a bomb, isn't it?
471
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,720
Hey, take it easy, take it easy.
472
00:27:46,764 --> 00:27:48,243
Don't move.
You'll just hurt yourself.
473
00:27:48,287 --> 00:27:49,723
[panting]

00:27:49,767 --> 00:27:51,203

[ticking]
476
00:28:28,631 --> 00:28:32,026
Just tell me, will you? There's
a bomb in this car, isn't there?
477
00:28:37,858 --> 00:28:40,774
Listen to me. Listen to me.
478
00:28:40,818 --> 00:28:43,995
There was a bomb,
but it's gone now.
479
00:28:46,911 --> 00:28:48,434
Are we safe?
480
00:28:48,477 --> 00:28:50,871
Yeah, we're safe.
481
00:28:52,438 --> 00:28:54,657
And you-you stayed with me.
482
00:28:54,701 --> 00:28:57,443
Even though that thing
could've gone off any minute.
483
00:28:57,486 --> 00:28:59,924
Well, hey, you fit me
into your schedule.
484
00:28:59,967 --> 00:29:01,882
It was the least
I could do.
485
00:29:03,884 --> 00:29:05,103
Thanks.
486
00:29:07,801 --> 00:29:10,717
[instrumental music]
487
00:29:14,852 --> 00:29:16,375
[doorbell buzzing]
488
00:29:16,418 --> 00:29:17,811
[Baker]
'Who's there?'
489
00:29:17,855 --> 00:29:20,422
It's me, Ponch.
I brought my TV set over.
490
00:29:20,466 --> 00:29:22,511
'Okay, yeah, well,
hang on a minute.'
491
00:29:22,555 --> 00:29:23,817
You've got company, huh?
492
00:29:23,861 --> 00:29:26,211
'Uh, yeah, yeah,
I got company.'
493
00:29:26,254 --> 00:29:27,299
Sounds like a..
494
00:29:28,517 --> 00:29:30,302
...secretary.
495
00:29:30,345 --> 00:29:31,912
Hey, Ponch, wait
a minute, wait a minute, listen.
496
00:29:31,956 --> 00:29:33,566
I'll fix your
TV for you, okay?
497
00:29:33,609 --> 00:29:35,133
But it's gonna take
a while, so why don't you leave?
498
00:29:35,176 --> 00:29:36,917
Hey, come on.
I missed the game tonight.
499
00:29:36,961 --> 00:29:39,180
It'll probably just take
you a few minutes, Jon.
500
00:29:39,224 --> 00:29:40,834
[sighs]
Yeah, okay.
501
00:29:40,878 --> 00:29:44,359
I'll put it on the counter
here and check it out, alright?
502
00:29:44,403 --> 00:29:46,622
You know, I really
like this place, Jon.
503
00:29:46,666 --> 00:29:48,407
You know, you know how to live.
504
00:29:48,450 --> 00:29:50,235
Turnstile in the kitchen,
I like that.
505
00:29:50,278 --> 00:29:53,499
'And this pay phone,
I think that's great.'
506
00:29:53,542 --> 00:29:55,631
Ah, I just think
it's your reset button, Ponch.
507
00:29:55,675 --> 00:29:58,330
A saddle, a lasso. Whoo!
508
00:29:58,373 --> 00:30:01,637
A stereo, books, typewriter.
509
00:30:01,681 --> 00:30:04,379
Hey, Jon, what do you got?
A secretary in there, huh?
510
00:30:04,423 --> 00:30:06,164
Bulletin board?
Bulletin board?
511
00:30:06,207 --> 00:30:07,861
Uh, hey, Ponch,
wait a minute.
512
00:30:07,905 --> 00:30:09,515
- Hey, what's this stuff?
- Just a minute, okay?
513
00:30:09,558 --> 00:30:11,691
Wait a minute. Look at me, would
you? This is private, okay?
514
00:30:11,734 --> 00:30:14,259
Now, I'll let you read it
when I'm finished.
515
00:30:16,391 --> 00:30:17,610
"Ponch falls in glue."
516
00:30:18,698 --> 00:30:19,960
'"Ponch loses motorcycle."'
517
00:30:21,396 --> 00:30:23,094
'"Ponch burns
hole in pants."'
518
00:30:23,137 --> 00:30:24,486
[Baker]
'Uh, yeah.'
519
00:30:24,530 --> 00:30:26,184
"Ponch falls in the mud?"
520
00:30:26,227 --> 00:30:29,404
- Uh..
- Hey, you're writing a book!
521
00:30:29,448 --> 00:30:31,929
- Don't get excited. I can--
- You're writing about me!
522
00:30:31,972 --> 00:30:33,408
How could you do
this to me, Jon?
523
00:30:33,452 --> 00:30:35,410
- Ponch, don't worry, okay?
- Don't worry?
524
00:30:35,454 --> 00:30:36,672
What do you mean, don't worry?
525
00:30:36,716 --> 00:30:38,239
What Getraer doesn't
have in my jacket
526
00:30:38,283 --> 00:30:39,762
you got on that
board right there!
527
00:30:39,806 --> 00:30:41,590
You're putting nails
in my coffin, partner.
528
00:30:41,634 --> 00:30:43,244
Ponch, relax, don't worry.
529
00:30:43,288 --> 00:30:46,421
Now, look it. I didn't even
use your name. Look.
530
00:30:46,465 --> 00:30:49,772
- "Frank Ponchiriblo?"
- 'Kinda catchy, huh?'
531
00:30:49,816 --> 00:30:51,949
I didn't really think
of it. It was Mrs. Downey.
532
00:30:51,992 --> 00:30:54,429
Remember, the lady with cookies?
533
00:30:54,473 --> 00:30:56,954
Yeah, that's great, I just
hope you know how to spell it
534
00:30:56,997 --> 00:30:58,520
when you put it on my tombstone.
535
00:30:58,564 --> 00:31:00,783
Come on, Ponch.
You're gonna like it, okay?
536
00:31:00,827 --> 00:31:02,307
Baloney.
537
00:31:02,350 --> 00:31:04,918
Jon, think of the probation,
the unemployment.
538
00:31:04,962 --> 00:31:07,921
Hey, how about fame
and fortune, I'm..
539
00:31:07,965 --> 00:31:10,141
Hey, what's Getraer
doing on there?
540
00:31:12,230 --> 00:31:14,536
[Ponch]
'I don't know.
Let's listen.'
541
00:31:14,580 --> 00:31:16,930
The Tollbooth Bandits,
as they refer to them
542
00:31:16,974 --> 00:31:18,149
have struck again.
543
00:31:18,192 --> 00:31:19,672
'The latest robbery
took place'
544
00:31:19,715 --> 00:31:21,717
'at the Trestle Bridge
down the Marina Area'
545
00:31:21,761 --> 00:31:23,502
'except this time was
a little more intricate.'
546
00:31:23,545 --> 00:31:26,461
Uh, it started at
the First Securities Bank
547
00:31:26,505 --> 00:31:28,463
'where the suspects
staked out their victim.'
548
00:31:28,507 --> 00:31:32,337
'A, um, bonded-money courier,
who was picking up $50,000.'

[Getraer]
'...disappeared quickly
in a stolen sports car.'
554
00:32:14,205 --> 00:32:15,684
But you can rest assure
555
00:32:15,728 --> 00:32:17,948
that we have every
available man alerted
556
00:32:17,991 --> 00:32:20,124
to keep an eye out
for these suspects.
557
00:32:20,167 --> 00:32:21,995
[male #1]
'Well, thank you very much.'

Sergeant Joseph Getraer from
the Central Los Angeles office
559
00:32:25,085 --> 00:32:27,044
of the California
Highway Patrol.
560
00:32:27,087 --> 00:32:28,959
[Baker]
'You know those
dudes are relentless.'
561
00:32:29,002 --> 00:32:32,614
Yeah, righteous bandits
who deserve a righteous bust.
562
00:32:32,658 --> 00:32:34,834
That's pretty good, Ponch.
righteous bandits.
563
00:32:34,877 --> 00:32:37,706
Listen, uh, you better get going
or you'll miss the game.
564
00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:39,360
Hey, Jon,
this book of yours
565
00:32:39,404 --> 00:32:40,927
this isn't such
a hot idea, you know?
566
00:32:40,971 --> 00:32:42,407
Hey, come on on, Ponch,
you're gonna love it.
567
00:32:42,450 --> 00:32:44,235
I'll tell you what, come out
to Diamond Lane tomorrow
568
00:32:44,278 --> 00:32:45,845
half-hour earlier,
and I'll let you read
569
00:32:45,888 --> 00:32:47,934
some of my stuff, okay?
570
00:32:47,978 --> 00:32:49,240
Okay, I guess
that couldn't hurt.
571
00:32:49,283 --> 00:32:52,112
But remember,
my career's on the line.
572
00:32:52,156 --> 00:32:55,115
- Hey, Ponch.
- What?
573
00:32:55,159 --> 00:32:56,899
Oh..
574
00:32:56,943 --> 00:32:57,988
Thanks.
575
00:32:59,467 --> 00:33:01,513
Enjoy the game, alright?
576
00:33:06,431 --> 00:33:08,694

Hey, you listening?
581
00:33:25,624 --> 00:33:27,147
[Ponch]
Yeah, yeah.

Heroically?

Yeah, yeah,
you're right.
587
00:33:43,685 --> 00:33:45,600
I guess I was heroic.

The public's gonna
read that about me?

You know, they might even ask
for autographs and pictures.

'Yeah, yeah,
it could be, Ponch.'

get this one, okay?'

...like a Ro..

00:34:20,896 --> 00:34:22,985
Like a Roman soldier

'gunned his mighty
two-wheeled stallion.'
603
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,861

Whoo! I like that.
605
00:34:30,558 --> 00:34:32,908
Yeah. And listen to this,
I knew you would.
606
00:34:32,952 --> 00:34:35,998
And as he's coming
down the runway, he..
607
00:34:38,566 --> 00:34:40,525
We got one, Ponch.

Hey, Wambaugh, looks
like three people to me.
613
00:35:15,429 --> 00:35:16,691
I don't think so, Ponch.
614
00:35:19,825 --> 00:35:22,741
[music continues]
615
00:35:49,637 --> 00:35:51,422
Nice try.
616
00:35:51,465 --> 00:35:52,771
What do you mean,
"nice try?"
617
00:35:52,814 --> 00:35:54,468
You can't drive
in the Diamond Lane
618
00:35:54,512 --> 00:35:56,209
unless you have two
or more passengers.
619
00:35:56,253 --> 00:35:58,864
If you'll excuse me,
I do have two passengers.

'Where does it say that
Zorro is not a passenger?'
621
00:36:03,564 --> 00:36:05,218
Hey, wait a minute.
622
00:36:05,262 --> 00:36:06,959
I mean, humans
are passengers, right?
623
00:36:07,002 --> 00:36:08,613
Not dogs.
624
00:36:08,656 --> 00:36:10,484
Well, I consider him
to be human.
625
00:36:10,528 --> 00:36:12,486
And you better
watch yourself, officer.
626
00:36:12,530 --> 00:36:14,836
'Zorro doesn't like
being called a dog.'
627
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,098
Oh.
628
00:36:17,839 --> 00:36:20,059
May I see your driver's license
and registration, please?
629
00:36:20,102 --> 00:36:21,582
Believe me,
you're wasting your time
630
00:36:21,626 --> 00:36:23,018
if you think I'm gonna pay this,
I'll have you spending
631
00:36:23,062 --> 00:36:25,151
'half of your life in court.'
632
00:36:25,195 --> 00:36:26,979
That's your privilege, sir.
633
00:36:34,291 --> 00:36:36,336
Uh, I'll get that for you, sir.
634
00:36:44,475 --> 00:36:45,867
Hey, Ponch.
635
00:36:49,393 --> 00:36:51,221
Mind stepping out
of the vehicle, please?
636
00:36:56,791 --> 00:36:58,793
That stuff is none
of your business.
637

[Ponch]
'To the rear, please.'
638
00:37:04,321 --> 00:37:05,626
Whoo!

00:37:05,670 --> 00:37:07,672
Get a load
of that luggage.
640
00:37:07,715 --> 00:37:10,152
I'm telling you, this stuff
is none of your business.
641
00:37:10,196 --> 00:37:13,068
Maybe, but you mind telling
us what your business is?
642
00:37:13,112 --> 00:37:15,288
Appliances.
643
00:37:15,332 --> 00:37:16,507
Yeah?
644
00:37:16,550 --> 00:37:19,901
- New appliances?
- Yeah.
645
00:37:19,945 --> 00:37:22,077
Well, then how come
there's crumbs in the toaster?
646
00:37:22,121 --> 00:37:24,297
We deal in, uh,
used appliances also.
647
00:37:24,341 --> 00:37:27,039
Oh, yeah? Got any receipts
for any of this stuff?
648
00:37:29,781 --> 00:37:31,043
Not on me.
649
00:37:32,044 --> 00:37:33,263
Where's your store?
650
00:37:33,306 --> 00:37:35,090
In Bakersfield.
651
00:37:35,134 --> 00:37:36,657
'Oh, yeah, Bakersfield?
Hey, that's where I'm from.'
652
00:37:36,701 --> 00:37:38,311
Up by the Stockyards
when you come down--
653
00:37:38,355 --> 00:37:40,705
Actually, uh,
it's not in Bakersfield.
654
00:37:40,748 --> 00:37:42,315
Closer to Lancaster.
655
00:37:42,359 --> 00:37:43,838
Yeah, that's right,
Lancaster, yeah.
656
00:37:43,882 --> 00:37:45,449
[Ponch]
'Well, isn't that funny?'
657
00:37:45,492 --> 00:37:48,016
I'm from Lancaster.
658
00:37:48,060 --> 00:37:49,670
Born and raised there.
659
00:37:49,714 --> 00:37:52,369
- You were?
- Yeah, kind of a small town.
660
00:37:52,412 --> 00:37:54,458
- You know everybody.
- You do?
661
00:37:54,501 --> 00:37:57,112
Yeah. But I don't remember you.
662
00:37:57,156 --> 00:37:59,114
Well, the town is-is
not really Lan--
663
00:37:59,158 --> 00:38:00,986
Listen, now, buddy, I think
you ran out of cities.
664
00:38:01,029 --> 00:38:02,335
Now why don't you
give me your driver's license
665
00:38:02,379 --> 00:38:03,684
and registration okay?
666
00:38:04,598 --> 00:38:07,035
[dramatic music]
667
00:38:10,952 --> 00:38:12,432
Thanks a lot.
668
00:38:12,476 --> 00:38:14,695
Hey, here comes
your ride.
669
00:38:23,835 --> 00:38:26,490
Jon, do you think you can write
us so that I saw the dog first?
670
00:38:26,533 --> 00:38:28,970
I mean, I think it
will read better in the book.
671
00:38:29,014 --> 00:38:30,494
Book? What book?
672
00:38:30,537 --> 00:38:32,017
Oh, Jon's writing a book.
673
00:38:32,060 --> 00:38:35,716
About us, our day-to-day
experiences on the road.
674
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,065
Is that true, Jon?
675
00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:38,806
Uh, yeah, sarge.
676
00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:41,374
I'm not too far along,
but I got, uh..
677
00:38:41,418 --> 00:38:43,376
Wait, you know,
you can't just write a book
678
00:38:43,420 --> 00:38:45,987
about the department
without asking questions.
679
00:38:46,031 --> 00:38:47,293
What do you mean?
680
00:38:47,337 --> 00:38:49,687
First of all, it's gotta
go to the captain.
681
00:38:49,730 --> 00:38:52,603
Then the division commander,
the assistant commissioner.
682
00:38:54,474 --> 00:38:55,432
The, uh, commissioner.
Get approved.
683
00:38:58,957 --> 00:39:00,437
'Then all the facts
have to be cleared'
684
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,352
'with our legal department
up in Sacramento.'
685
00:39:02,395 --> 00:39:05,790
Then, of course, everything
has to be done in triplicate.
686
00:39:05,833 --> 00:39:08,401
Triplicate?
Why all the red tape?
687
00:39:08,445 --> 00:39:11,056
Well, the department's
very sensitive about lawsuits.
688
00:39:11,099 --> 00:39:12,797
But so the attorney
general's office
689
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,320
is gonna have to get involved.
690
00:39:14,364 --> 00:39:15,843
Oh, come on. Attorney general?
691
00:39:15,887 --> 00:39:18,237
What do I have to do,
take a loyalty oath? I mean--
692
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,240
Look, look, look.
Let me explain.
693
00:39:21,283 --> 00:39:23,982
Look, all the stories
about the CHP
694
00:39:24,025 --> 00:39:26,593
have to be portrayed
to fit the image
695
00:39:26,637 --> 00:39:29,553
of the officers involved,
especially if they're factual.
696
00:39:29,596 --> 00:39:32,512
Oh, Jon's doing a great
job about that, sarge.
697
00:39:32,556 --> 00:39:34,732
I'm a Roman soldier.
698
00:39:34,775 --> 00:39:36,777
You're a what?

'Possible 211 suspects.'

00:39:44,089 --> 00:39:46,265
'Repeat, suspects
are in a late-model Mercedes.'
703
00:39:46,308 --> 00:39:48,572
Uh, you Roman soldiers
wanna roll on that?
704
00:39:49,355 --> 00:39:50,704
Come on, Ponch.
705
00:39:53,838 --> 00:39:55,317
Hey, have one for later.
706
00:39:55,361 --> 00:39:56,841
Thanks.

Call the police!
710
00:40:30,048 --> 00:40:32,311
- What happened?
- I don't know, he got lucky.
711
00:40:32,354 --> 00:40:34,182
Yeah, well, we didn't.
I flooded it.
712
00:40:34,226 --> 00:40:36,446
Well, come on,
let's find another car.
713
00:40:39,579 --> 00:40:42,277
Come on, be a nice lady,
sit down over here.

He's not gonna make it.
728

You alright?
729
00:43:14,342 --> 00:43:17,650
Okay, put your left
hand on your head.
730
00:43:17,694 --> 00:43:20,479
Looks like your car
racing days are over, buddy.

[Baker]
You're lucky to walk away
from this one too.
732
00:43:27,268 --> 00:43:29,009
Hey, Bar, Fritz.
733
00:43:29,053 --> 00:43:31,185
Do you wanna run them down to
Parker? We'll do the paperwork.
734
00:43:31,229 --> 00:43:32,665
[Baricza]
Will do.
735
00:43:36,669 --> 00:43:37,844
Whoo!
736
00:43:41,369 --> 00:43:42,936
You know, it's like you said
737
00:43:42,980 --> 00:43:45,330
uh, righteous criminals,
righteous bust.
738
00:43:45,373 --> 00:43:48,289
But, uh, I do feel that it's
your turn to do the paperwork.
739
00:43:48,333 --> 00:43:50,596
Yeah, sure,
it will go like this.
740
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,382
The drawbridge raised
like a giant cannon.
741
00:43:54,426 --> 00:43:55,906
No, no, no, that's no good.
742
00:43:55,949 --> 00:43:59,387
Maybe like this, the drawbridge
raised like a giant--
743
00:43:59,431 --> 00:44:01,172
Um..
744
00:44:01,215 --> 00:44:03,653
Waking giant?
745
00:44:03,696 --> 00:44:06,481
Hey, that's perfect.
That's perfect, Jon.
746
00:44:06,525 --> 00:44:11,138
Listen to this, we raced
down the highway like a..
747
00:44:11,182 --> 00:44:14,359
We raced down
the highway like..
748
00:44:14,402 --> 00:44:17,318
H-here, check this out.
Maybe a..
749
00:44:17,362 --> 00:44:21,105
Uh, uh, like a bullet
searching for a target.
750
00:44:22,584 --> 00:44:24,064
Hey, I like that.
751
00:44:24,108 --> 00:44:26,327
You know, we got
a bestseller here, Jon.
752
00:44:26,371 --> 00:44:27,677
Yeah.
753
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:29,374
I mean, we can
make a million..

00:44:33,639 --> 00:44:35,597
What's the matter?

00:44:35,641 --> 00:44:37,687
Wh-what's this we stuff?
757
00:44:39,906 --> 00:44:42,822
Well, we're partners,
aren't we?
758
00:44:53,398 --> 00:44:55,835

'It'll be great for the morale
of the force. It really will.'
760
00:44:58,403 --> 00:44:59,926
'Cause you can tell
it like it really is.
761
00:44:59,970 --> 00:45:02,102
Insight that's
what makes it good.
762
00:45:02,146 --> 00:45:05,236
To learn that they've got guys
like me and you on the team.
763
00:45:05,279 --> 00:45:07,281
And it will make
a terrific movie.
764
00:45:07,325 --> 00:45:09,327
I wonder who'll get to play me.
Maybe Jack Nicholson.
765
00:45:09,370 --> 00:45:11,155
I like him. But he's not
good-looking enough.
766
00:45:11,198 --> 00:45:13,679
I'm sure he isn't, Ponch.
You mind closing the door?
767
00:45:13,723 --> 00:45:15,507
Yeah, sure.
768
00:45:15,550 --> 00:45:17,074
Maybe we'll get Redford, huh?
769
00:45:17,117 --> 00:45:19,467
But he'll have to dye
his hair, for sure.
770
00:45:19,511 --> 00:45:22,601
I better start figuring out
what I wanna do with my royalty.
771
00:45:22,644 --> 00:45:24,081
That's a lot of money.
772
00:45:24,124 --> 00:45:25,604
I know the first
thing I'm gonna do
773
00:45:25,647 --> 00:45:27,737
I'm gonna buy
new shocks for my motor home.
774
00:45:27,780 --> 00:45:31,044
Yup. And then maybe
I'll take a trip.
775
00:45:31,088 --> 00:45:32,785
'I'll go to Monte Carlo.'
776
00:45:34,308 --> 00:45:36,963
Hey, what are you doing?
777
00:45:37,007 --> 00:45:39,270
Hey, who am I kidding, Ponch?
I mean, I'm no writer.
778
00:45:39,313 --> 00:45:41,751
Wait a minute. What do
you mean you're no writer?
779
00:45:41,794 --> 00:45:43,187
Don't you remember, Jon?
780
00:45:43,230 --> 00:45:45,885
The sunlight dancing off
the top of the cars?
781
00:45:45,929 --> 00:45:47,539
The Roman soldier who gunned
782
00:45:47,582 --> 00:45:49,541
his mighty two-wheeled
stallion, huh?

00:45:49,584 --> 00:45:52,849
'The drawbridge that raised
like a walking giant.'
784
00:45:52,892 --> 00:45:54,676
Uh, waking giant, alright?
785
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:56,591
Hey, either way,
you're terrific, Jon.
786
00:45:56,635 --> 00:45:58,071
You're really great.
787
00:45:58,115 --> 00:45:59,812
Hey, Ponch,
don't you understand?
788
00:45:59,856 --> 00:46:02,467
These are just adjectives.
Adjectives I borrowed from--
789
00:46:02,510 --> 00:46:03,729
I don't know,
other people's novels
790
00:46:03,773 --> 00:46:05,078
the dictionary, everywhere.
791
00:46:05,122 --> 00:46:06,558
'I mean, it's like Getraer
said, huh?'
792
00:46:06,601 --> 00:46:08,821
It's all this re tape.
Triplicate forms.
793
00:46:08,865 --> 00:46:10,127
Hey, I'm gonna be so old
794
00:46:10,170 --> 00:46:11,824
there's no way
I can finish the book.
795
00:46:11,868 --> 00:46:14,784
No, that's nothing.
I'll help you.
796
00:46:14,827 --> 00:46:17,612
Think of me, Jon,
and my public out there.
797
00:46:17,656 --> 00:46:20,311
Yeah, I have been thinking of
you, Ponch, and you know what?
798
00:46:20,354 --> 00:46:22,835
I do not really
feel, sincerely
799
00:46:22,879 --> 00:46:27,579
that the public is ready
for Francis Ponchiriblo. Huh.
800
00:46:27,622 --> 00:46:28,710

801
00:46:30,234 --> 00:46:31,539
