Assault on Precinct 13 Page #2

Let me give you the new number. 734-3612.

You're welcome.

The phone company should be doing this.

They're supposed to cut in at 5:00.

Hello. May I speak to Supervisor 12, please?

Yes, hello. This is 734-374...

-Black?

-For over 30 years.

I'm sorry. Two sugars.

I grew up four blocks from here.

When I was about four or five, my father

sent me in here one day with a note.

Detective read it and said,

"We lock up little boys who can't behave."

When he went to call my father,

I carved something on the top of his desk

with a letter opener.

For months, I was afraid he might see it

and come after me.

Why did your father send you in here?

For using foul language

in the presence of my mother.

What did you carve on the desk?

Kind of advanced for a little kid.

Your father or somebody obviously

got you out of Anderson early enough.

The Captain would like

to see you now, Lieutenant.

Be right there.

By the way,

no one took me out of Anderson

when I was a baby.

I walked out, myself, when I was 20.

-Enjoy your new police station.

-I will. Thanks for the coffee.

Well, are they out?

Then get them out!

Double your patrols.

Go ahead. Send them up there.

Don't call over here every time

another division stubs its toe.

What a night.

We've had a 3-12 every 15 minutes.

Twelve stolen cars, three burglaries,

eight aggravated assaults.

And it's not even 8:00.

Could be the sunspots.

Pressure on the atmosphere.

I heard it on the radio.

It's 7:
00. I'm going over

to the new station on Ellendale.

You take over here

till Weaver comes in at 4:00.

All you do is answer the telephone

and send over any strays.

There may be some who still think

this is a police station.

-Are there any facilities left over here?

-A couple of cells and a bathroom.

I don't understand

why this place is still open.

Well, it is and it isn't, Lieutenant.

The result of transition.

I really think someone in the central office

wanted to give you

something special on your first night out.

That sure got around fast.

I'm going to talk to Wilson. Watch me.

You don't mind if I sit down

a minute or two, do you, Wilson?

-Got a smoke on you?

-You asked me before.

-Well, I never got a definite answer.

-I don't smoke.

That's a definite answer.

Another one gone.

When you're in my position,

days are like women.

Each one is so goddamn precious.

They always end up leaving you.

What do you want?

-Why? Do I have to want something?

-You're a cop.

You're either curious about me,

or you wanna give me some sh*t.

-I don't understand you, Wilson.

-Curious.

-You're not a psychopath. You're not stupid.

-I am an a**hole.

-Can't take everything away from me.
