'What's that for?'

Perfect performance.

Very subtle.

I'm going crazy!

I'm gonna push him, terrific.

You know, it worked, didn't it?

I scared the crap out of him.

- 'It was terrible.'

- 'I was imitating you.'

(Freebie)

'Well, I was bad.

First time I did it.'

[horns blaring]

(man on radio)

'...the first caller

that gets the correct title'

'of the song

we're about to play'

'gets not one,

but two free tickets'

'to the Super Bowl!'

Look at this sh*t.

Christ, if it's like

this on Friday

what's it gonna

be like on Sunday?

All this city needs

are a thousand more pimps

and boys

and rednecks going ape-sh*t.

Well, the mayor

wanted the Super Bowl.

(Freebie)

'What do you read

that sh*t for?'

You don't have to pass no exam

if you wanna be a lieutenant,

you know that, don't you?

I'd still like to know

what's in it.

Put it down.

Come on, put it, put it down.

- Hey.

- Well, listen to me.

'Stop reading that sh*t.

I'm talking to you.'

'Listen to me.'

'Remember what I told you

about the apartment buildings?'

- Yeah.

- 'Forget about it.'

(Freebie)

'Penthouse at the Hilton.'

I figured it out.

You dump the old lady

and the kids

you come live with me,

we have a ball.

It's bad enough

I gotta work with you.

Now you want me

to live with you?

Alright, you don't wanna be

a millionaire.

You know, you could

eat 48 tacos a day.

And I can still have

you steal them for me.

Okay.

Alright.

It's as you drive a Cadillac

or a Toyota.

You're still gonna

get stuck in this crap.

No, no, no, no.

See that's where you're wrong.

Millionaires, yeah,

they got special lanes.

- They go fast.

- Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah.

That's right.

They don't have to wait

for the cars.

We got that right now.

[siren wailing]

That's right.

(man on radio)

'All cars, pursuit on Beach

Boulevard, request support.'

Hey, that's close.

Come on, let's go over there.

(man on radio)

'Liquor truck, blue.

Suspect armed and dangerous.'

Hey, what're you, crazy?

Are you trying to get us killed?

That's a 45 mile

per-hour on ramp!

- Relax, will you?

- Slow down!

Hey, slow down, you idiot!

(male #2)

'Oh, man, run.

Run for your lives!'

Hey!

Well, I told you, smart ass.

But you don't listen.

You know everything!

You still think you're

a goddamn motorcycle cop!

I could've made it

in my Porsche.

- It's a Ford!

- I could have, though!

- It's not your Porsche!

- I could have made it though.

- It's a Ford!

- Lousy power steering.

[tires whirring]

[tires squealing]

This is helmet time.

- You want your helmet?

- No, leave me alone.

(Bean)

'Let me out!'

'Stop the car, I wanna get out.

That's too fast!'

(Freebie)

'Jesus! I thought I left
