Ed
[after Frank is relieved of duty, Ed looks at the newspapers in dismay]
It's disgusting the way they splash this stuff all over the newspapers! What is journalism coming to? You're laying on top of the queen with her legs wrapped around you. And they call that news. They can't kick you off the force, Frank! It's just not fair!
Frank
I know, Ed. Life isn't always fair. Just think. The next time I shoot someone, I could be arrested.
Frank
[he looks through his files and finds a piece of evidence]
Hey! Look at that. The missing evidence in the Kelner case. My God! He was innocent!
Ed
He went to the chair 2 years ago, Frank.
Frank
[Frank defeatedly discards the evidence and all his files into the file cabinet]
Well, what's the use?
Ed
[after Ludwig has been hit with a tranquilizer dart, and falls off the building, Frank and Ed watch as he gets run over by a bus and steam roller, and trampled by a passing marching band] [sobs]
Oh, Frank! It's horrible. That's so horrible!
Frank
[comforts his boss]
I know, Ed.
Ed
My father went the same way.
Ed
We got a little surprise for ya. It's in honor of your 30 years on the force. Nordberg?
Frank
[Nordberg unveils a frame with Frank's name, uniform, and equipment mounted on it; all at Police Squad applaud Frank]
Oh, boy. This is really great. Thank you, guys!
N Nordberg
We thought it might cheer you up. We heard about you and Jane.
Frank
Jane, Jane. That name will always remind me of her.
Ed
Frank, I feel really bad about all this. If there's anything that you need...
N Nordberg
Like Dr. Kevorkian's home phone number?
Ed
[hands Nordberg a puzzle]
Nordberg, put it together.
