A scene from Ransom 1996
Detective Jimmy Shaker

[holding a gun to Cubby's head and clamping a hand on his mouth]

Are you a known scumbag in this precinct? Go on, shake your head. Go on!

Detective Jimmy Shaker

[Cubby nods]

Now, a high profile kid was snatched yesterday. You got no idea who knows about it. Cops, FBI, anybody, right?

Detective Jimmy Shaker

[Cubby shakes his head]

So what do you do? You - a known scumbag - walk into a grocery store filled with cops and you ask for a box of kiddy cereal? Now, I don't know about you, but I think that makes you a four-star asshole. What do you think?

Detective Jimmy Shaker

[Cubby nods. Shaker uncovers Cubby's mouth and puts his gun away]

What the hell were you gonna do with the videos? Kid's got tape on his eyes, for Christ's sake!

Cubby Barnes

I thought he could listen to 'em.

Detective Jimmy Shaker

Jesus! Don't be stupid again.
