Officer Monica Romero

You're making a big mistake.

Snake

Story of my life.

Officer Monica Romero
[Officer Monica Romero and Agent Greer are in his car, arguing about Russian bombs and missiles]

Where did they get that stuff?

Pat Greer

Russia.

Officer Monica Romero

Don't the Russians have controls on that kind of thing?

Pat Greer

You'd faint if you knew. A few months ago, somebody got a warhead out of a missile-dismantlement facility in a place called -...

Alan Seitz

Sergijev Posad. Not far from Moscow. Beautiful churches there.

Pat Greer

Anyway, somebody who knew what they were doing modified it. Dumped it on some guys who run a place here called The Jolly Jackal.

Officer Monica Romero

The bar?

Pat Greer

That bar has more AK-47s than Budweiser.

Alan Seitz

What makes you think this is the first time?

Pat Greer

Never mind which time this is. The important thing is we got those assholes trapped at the airport, and until we say further, no plane is taking off.

Officer Monica Romero

You can do that?

Arthur Herk
[making an opinion on who might have shot his TV]

I'll tell you who did it. It's probably some goddamn kids. 'Cause these goddamn kids today, they all got goddamn guns, and they're all sniffing glue!

Officer Monica Romero

Any additional insights, Mr. Herk? Any information can help us to protect you.

Arthur Herk

I seriously doubt that you or any other member of the police force in this town could protect their own dicks with both hands.

Officer Monica Romero

Thank you for that observation.

Officer Monica Romero

I'm not gonna arrest you, Matt, unless Mrs. Herk wants to press charges.

Anna Herk

Hey, kids.

Arthur Herk

I want to press charges! Cuff him!

Officer Monica Romero

My hands are kind of full right now, what with holding my dick and all.

{Having been sprayed by a hallucinogenic toad, Arthur is hallucinating that his dog possesses the head of Martha Stewart]

Arthur Herk

Oh, my God! She's coming to get me!

Pat Greer

The dog, sir?

Arthur Herk

No, not that! Her!

Pat Greer

Who?

Arthur Herk

You know! Her!

Martha Stewart

Herk, Herk, Herk! Herk!

Arthur Herk

Oh, my God, she knows my name... She knows everything! She's come to take my soul!

Pat Greer

Mr. Herk, this is important...

Arthur Herk

Please don't let her take my soul!

Pat Greer
[Arthur begins sobbing and moaning incoherently]

What the hell's he talking about?

Officer Monica Romero

I don't know.

Alan Seitz

How close did he get to that toad?

Officer Monica Romero

Like face first.

Alan Seitz

Beufotin. Hell of a hallucination. He's gone and he's not coming back.

Martha Stewart

growls

Alan Seitz

Discovery Channel.

Jenny Herk

Good thing you ran away, Arthur, you might have gotten wet.

Arthur Herk

Shut up!

Officer Monica Romero

Easy...

Arthur Herk

Don't tell me easy, this is my goddamn house!

Officer Monica Romero

And these are my handcuffs, and if you don't take it easy, you'll be wearing my handcuffs in your goddamn house.

Officer Monica Romero
[lowering her voice]

You're going to shoot that plane down? You can't do this! There's innocent people on that plane!

Pat Greer

If that nuke goes off over Freeport, many innocent people die. Now, nobody likes this, okay? But this has been discussed, believe me, as high as it can be, every scenario, and this is the only way out.

Officer Monica Romero

How soon?

Pat Greer

When the plane's over the Gulf Stream. Three minutes.

Officer Monica Romero

Well, what about the kid's father? Maybe he made it onto the plane.

Pat Greer

Let's say he did. Is he, by any chance, familiar with a Russian nuclear warhead with a plutonium rod encased in a terillium core?

Officer Monica Romero

I believe he's in advertising.
