Say, I've gotta get out of here.

Relax, don't take these little things so seriously. After all, seeing as how your mother's here...

My mother's here?

That's a silly question. You know perfectly well she's in the Number 2 spot.

The Number 2 spot?

Second in charge of the whole Happy Finger racket.

My mom couldn't be mixed up in any racket!

Look, partner: I hate to speak badly about mothers, after all, motherhood is the noblest institution in our land. But the fact remains that your ma is in the Number 2 spot. At headquarters right now.

She wouldn't keep me in a place like this! I gotta see her!

I wouldn't advise it. You'll never make it.

I can try!

I wouldn't try.

I know. All you'd ever try for is time and a half for overtime.
