Levitt?

Yes, it's me.

Who would overlook Major transgressions

And concentrate on The really picayune stuff.

What are we supposed To do, thank you?

You're welcome.

Stop fooling around, Levitt. This isn't funny.

Wait, wait. That's okay, sir.

Anybody else want To get in a shot?

You're an ugly broad.

Has it occurred to you that Maybe I wouldn't be doing this

If I had gotten one ounce Of respect from you guys?

- levitt. - get to you In a minute, sir.

But all I got was, "Hi, There, little levitt."

"File this, little levitt." "See you later, little levitt."

Well, I only meant that in The, um, diminutive sense.

Never treated me as Anything but a joke.

Yeah, well... "Yeah, well" what?

You're right.

Levitt, I'm partially Responsible for that.

No kidding.

Maybe I would have a Little credibility with them

If you'd stop yanking me Up and down like a yo-yo.

One day I'm in uniform, then Plain clothes, and now this.

For god's sake, sir, Make up your mind.

I've told you many times, levitt, it has To do with manpower requirements...

I'd love to hear it again, But I'm late for the park.

Look...

I know there's Supposed to be a bond,

A trust between cops.

And I broke that trust.

I owe everyone here an Apology for doing that.

I just hope you Understand why I did it

And give me another Chance to prove myself.

All right?

All right.

Maybe he forgot something.

Mr. Golden, come on.

I'm gonna run you Over to the tombs.
