And I feel like a fool. And you asked that we should say things - that we should say what we're thinking and not lie about things. Well, I can tell you that, this, that I lost my gun today - and I am not a good cop. And I'm looked down at. And I know that. And I'm scared that once you find that out you may not like me.

  • [snorts a line of coke]
  • Jim Kurring: Man, oh man, I feel like a bit of a scum-bucket doing this, since I came here as an officer of the law and the situation and everything, but I feel like I'd be a fool if I didn't do something I really wanna do - which is to ask you for a date.
