Observe And Report Page #4

Synopsis: Ronnie Barnhardt lives with his alcoholic mother. He's chief security guard at Forest Ridge Mall, where he's in love with Brandi, a cosmetic sales clerk, and gets a free coffee each day from Nell, a cheery clerk in the food court. A flasher haunts the mall's parking lot, and at night, thefts occur. Ronnie is intent on catching the criminals but has no investigative skills, is delusional about his abilities, and makes mad accusations. His bête noire is Detective Harrison, the city cop sent to investigate. Ronnie thinks he could be an officer, thinks he stands a chance with Brandi, and slowly loses his self control. Will reality set in? What about redemption?

Who robbed this shoe store?

No, no, I need you to wait down in the hallway.

- I really don't know who did it.

Detective Harrison here seems to be to blinded by

your beauty to ask the right questions.

Who robbed this shoe store?

Who the f*** robbed this shoe store?

That's okay. Sarah, thank you

for your help. I appreciate it. Okay?

Que pasa, Ramon?

Como?

I see.

This guy f***ing did it.

What did he say?

I don't know, I don't speak Spanish, but

you know, look at his face ...

It's reflection, it's the tone of his voice, it's...

Look at his eyes.

I know who did it.

- You do, huh? - Mhm.

Big time.

- Alright, who did it?

Check it out.

You know what those are?

- No.

You know you take a bubble bath, and cover

your little breasts with some bubbles.

Excuse me, I'm Detective

Harrison of the Conway police.

Oh sh*t! Yeah, I wasn't

touching her in bad way or anything ...

Someone has robbed the shoe store last night,

I'm just asking around to see if anybody noticed anything.

Alright you need to get the f*** out of here. Scoot, scoot.

- Have you noticed any suspicious characters hanging around the mall?

Maybe someone who looked like they were casing the place?

- No, I haven't seen sh*t.

What's up, Saddam?

- What the f*** do you want, Ronnie?

I want you to face the f***ing music is what I want!

- I have an restraining order against you ...

So why don't you take this opportunity to back the f*** up.

- Ronnie, come on, let's go.

You're taking my case, Harrison.

- Well you said you have proof!

You've got a restraining order?

Okay, sh*t, let's go.

Just look, just f***ing look at him,

that's all the proof I need.

That's racist, man.

- Racism has got nothing to do with it, you fit the profile.

Oh just like I fit the profile of the pervert?

- How do we know you are not the pervert?

My dick is brown, you dumb motherf***er!

Let's go...

- What you should do is arrest this f***ing clown. He comes here and harrases me every day.

Last week, he comes here and tells me he discovered my plot

to blow up the Chicken fillet.

Why the f*** would I blow up the Chicken fillet?

It's f***ing delicious.

Come on, come on, let's go.

- I'll go.

But before I will tell you,

I've got your number ...

so you should know that I know

that you did that sh*t.

F*** you, Ronnie.

- F*** you.

F*** you, Sadam Hussein of Iraq.

- F*** you.

F*** you.

- F*** you.

So? You find anything?

I found out quite a bit, actually.

Like what?

- A few clues ...

put up a list of suspects, and I think the answer

to the whole damn case.

We didn't find anything.

I have also found out that ...

Detective Harrison over here,

not quite a detective...
