but just let me

tell you something...

Small towns, they're... they're...

they're fiercely proud places,

with... with proud people.

People who need to know

if the school bus is coming.

And so, if you come in here with your

'take no prisoners' "this"...

and your 'pissing everyone off'

"that",

people are just gonna think

you're a dick!

Okay... Okay.

I... I mean, you're going to

embarrass and alienate...

Okay,

I said okay.

I'm sorry,

it's just the reality.

Okay, uh... Grant,

I...

- I... I want your maziness.

- Okay.

I hired your maziness.

I want the maziness.

I just need the maziness

to come in a little slower,

a little more 'get to know you'.

A little... a little slower.

Yeah, I get it.

I'm not stupid.

That's not what I meant.

I wanted to hear

what he was gonna say.

Come on, he was just gonna talk

about himself.

Okay, Pontypool,

good morning.

You know, I wanna talk to you

about something that has been...

bugging me,

all morning.

Here's my question, Pontypool.

Here... here's my story.

Now, hold on...

I'm driving in to work today, I... and I

pull up to the stop sign at Drum and Main,

and... it's 6.30 in the morning,

and it's cold, and it's dark...

and suddenly, this woman

appears outta nowhere...

I didn't hear her,

and I barely was moving my car.

Suddenly...

she's at my passenger window.

She's babbling something

but I can't...

I can't understand her,

I can't hear her, I don't know what it is.

And then... 'poof'!

She's gone!

So, what do I do?

Do I call 911?

Who do I call?

No one.

Our number is

Let me know

what I gotta do.

Good morning.

Oh, where are you calling from?

Uh-huh.

And what would you like to say

to Grant this morning?

- I'm sorry, what?

- Has my sister called in yet?

No.

Oh, that's weird...

My sister never, ever, ever,

misses a day.

And where's Roger?

It's almost 10.

What are those?

Grant gave us Valentines.

You can put them up somewhere.

You know, he, uh...

he's doing okay.

So, okay sweetheart,

I'm gonna call Mrs. Tripp.

Something's coming in

on the radio.

Roger, where are you?

Yeah. Roger that.

We still have a Code 48 in progress.

It's the fish hut.

- Sydney! Syd!

- Code 48 in progress...

requesting back-up,

weapon's present, 10-4...

Roger that.

- Sandy Hook and Wilmont, Code 48.

- Tell me, so what's Code 48, Laurel Ann?

It means

we have a hostage situation.

- Please, stand by.

- There's nothing on the wires,

so I'm gonna key in

right off the police radio.

Really, there's nothing on the wire?

Okay, so let's not do anything

with this yet.

Fat no,

I'm not getting anything either.

Whatever you do,

don't feed this in to Grant yet.
