For approximately About 17 miles.

Hey, I swear I Would have stopped

Memories...

Where would we be without them?

Wojo, you know that Department policy

Is to try to avoid High-speed car chases

If at all possible.

But the guy robbed a store.

I couldn't just Watch him drive away.

No, of course not.

What I did wasn't wrong, was it?

It wasn't a question Of being wrong.

It was a situation that Called for some discretion,

A little judgment.

There wasn't time for judgment.

Yeah?

Barney, dispatch called,

And they want 12 copies

Of wojo's report For damage claims.

12 copies?

Yeah, uh, well, that's...

Probably for the parked cars.

Wojo, you... You have An annoying little habit

Of releasing the information Little bit by little bit.

I mean, you say "Crash."

I am forced to say "What crash?"

You say "Parked cars," and I say "What parked cars?"

It would be a lot easier On me and a lot clearer

If you'd get all the Information out at one time,

If you don't mind, please!

Sure, barn.

Well, uh, I chased the guy.

And he hit a car,

And then I hit three cars...

All of them parked.

He went down this alley, And I went down there.

And he was going So fast, so I hit them.

At least now I have an Ordered base of information

To work from.

I didn't even see the truck.

What truck?

That's it. I'm out of business.

Everything will work Out for the best, mr. Mione.

Best?

You're speaking to a Man who has no doors.

What about me?

$250 worth of clothes... Gone.

How could that happen?

Centrifugal force.

Pardon?

That's the force that Makes rotating bodies

Move away from the Center of rotation.

Yes. All I know is that My doors fell off.

They're lying in a Street somewhere.

Well, now you're Talking gravity.

Scanlon, internal affairs.

They finally got a chance To reach at something,

And they took it.

Why? Because it's natural.

But admit... Admit That some other time,

It could be different.

Admit it!

Forget it.
