Well, the way you're | guarding that food.

You know...

like another con could | take it away from you.

Well, I was raised | in foster homes, you know?

I didn't get no dessert | till I was in eighth grade.

Damn.

I got a daughter | in the eighth grade.

Half my paycheck goes | to her orthodontist.

She's got your teeth, man.

Yeah. The joint's | about the only place...

you got time to work out | to get a grip like that.

I was an aerobics | instructor.

Shoots the sh*t | out of that theory.

Any more Polars?

Oh...

Junior got | the last one.

I could run out | and get some.

Beer's gone, I'm gone.

You're kidding.

But, you know, | I gotta get...

that pork chop | recipe first.

No. Are you serious?

It's so easy, what I did.

You are definitely | not gonna have...

to write this down.

All it is is pork chops | in a frying pan.

And just cook 'em | in their own fat...

with a lot of salt.

Oh, well, | they sure were good...

but you know | what I really like...

is native Florida cooking.

Now, did you ever have | chestnut batter...

on your pork chops?

Boy, I never did.

You got a recipe | for that somewhere?

Uh, yeah, I do, | as a matter of fact.

I'll give it to you. | Just a minute here.

Oh, I appreciate that.

Great dinner.

Get you something | to go, Sarge?

Just you.

Kidding, Herman.

Listen, if you | think of anything...

just, uh, give me a call.

That's my home phone.

Look, it's a hotel...

and the old guy | at the desk is deaf...

so, uh, just let it ring | till he sees the lights.

Oh, and, uh, | when we round up...

the usual airport | hoodlums...

maybe you could shoot by and | take a look at a line-up.

Take you five minutes.

Oh, yeah.

You mind standing | in the line-up, too?

We're a little short | of bodies. Heh heh.

You ever stood | in a line-up before, Herman?

Never been caught, Sarge.

Ah, you ain't got | one beer rat-holed...

I can take with me | for the road, do you?

You got it all, man. | Dog biscuits, too.

Oh...see you.

Night, Susie.

Years ago, I started | preaching catch-and-release.

Back then, a lot of things | seemed to indicate...

that our bass resource in | many areas of the country...

was rapidly diminishing.

Today, there is | no doubt about it...

and I'm very concerned about | what the future holds...

for this great sport.

In simple terms...

we don't have the vast | water we once had...

and there are | several reasons for it...

pollution, | illegal netting...

the pressure of removing | too many adult bass...

from their environment.

You know, they're kind of | like money in the bank.

I got news for you.

I'm not coming back. | I'm married.

I am so married.

I gotta go. Bye.

You like ham and eggs?
