Paul Smecker, F.B.I.

Brilliant. So now we got a Huge Guy theory and a Serial Crusher theory. Top notch.

Paul Smecker, F.B.I.

Television. Television is the explanation for this. You see this in bad television. The little assault guys creeping through the vents, coming in through the ceiling. That James Bond shit never happens in real life. Professionals don't do that.

Paul Smecker, F.B.I.

You Irish cops are perking up. That's two sound theories in one day, neither of which deal with abnormally-sized men. Kinda makes me feel like Riverdancing. [begins dancing]

Paul Smecker
[After Smecker gets a phone call in bed with his gay lover and slaps him]

What are you doing?

Hojo

I just wanted to cuddle.

Cuddle? What a ****.

Det. Dolly

So, what's the symbology there?

Paul Smecker

Symbology? Now that Duffy's relinquished his "King Bonehead" crown, I see we have an heir to the throne. I'm sure the word you were looking for was "symbolism". What is the ssssymbolism there? Let me explain it to you. In Greek and Roman mythology, when you died, you would have to pay the toll to Charon, the boatman who ferried you across to the gates of judgment. This made sure the dead came to atone for what they did during their lives, Detective Dollypoposkallius.

Det. Dolly

Jesus, you're the first one that ever got that!

Paul Smecker

Yeah, well, I'm an expert in ... nameology!

Gay bartender

Oh, you've already had quite a bit, are you sure you...

Paul Smecker

Just pour the drink, you fairy ****.

Gay bartender

...I can smell you.

Det. Greenly

Paul Smecker

Why don't you let me do the thinkin', huh, genius?
