Crunchy: Police work isn't as exciting as people think. Joe: True! most of it is nonstop boredom....interrupted occasionally by unbridled terror. man: you guys better beat it...I'm about to stick up this joint. crunchy: I don't think so, kid.... joe: That's not a smart move. crunchy: This is a cop hangout. joe: We're both off duty officers. joe: Those women are cops too...so are those guys by the door. crunchy: cops are everywhere! you've picked the worst place to rob. Man: Baloney! You guys are bluffing! crunchy: I wouldn't do that if I were you. man: how did you get busted by thirty cops? Man: And why were they laughing? Man: Say, aren't you that idiot who was on the news?
