"Tony, I don't want to intrude, but you seem a little down."
"Well Captain, it's about my job.
"Ah"
"I'm having doubts about being a cop. It's not like how it is on TV. All I do all day is fill out forms and paperwork; that's all I do."
"It's a point well taken Tony, But you must understand that although it's not exciting, it's a very important part of our work."
"Ya, but in all my time as a cop, I've never had to chase a guy across a crowded city square. I've never hung on to that part of the helicopter, you know where it lands?"
"Yes, I know that part."
"I"ve never hung on to that part. I've never even commandeered a vehicle."
"Now that's sounds like a lot of fun.
"I know. And that's what's irritating. You're too nice."
"Too nice?"
"Yes, you're my captain for God's sake. You should constantly be on my case, like the captain in Starsky and Hutch. You know, where you come in and haul me into your office and ball me out because you're tired of defending my screwball antics to the commissioner. Why can't you do that?"
"Well, the truth is I don't report to a commissioner. I report to a committee, some of whom are appointed, some elected, and the rest co-opted on a bi-annual basis. A quorum so to speak"
"A quorum?"
"Captain, when I joined the police force I thought I'd be like Serpico, instead I'm like Fish from Barney Miller."
"Hey, somebody needs a hug!"
come on monkey boys, someone name that movie.
