- Knock, knock. - Oh, hey.
Uh, have a seat.
I'll just be a minute.
Wanted to see if you would take a look at this for me.
Uh, sure.
Uh... first thing.
- Now? - If you don't mind.
This is a misdemeanor drug possession charge.
I understand a small case like this is below your pay grade.
It's below this office's pay grade.
I'd like you to take the lead on it nonetheless.
I see.
You'll let me know how things progress?
Of course.
This is a small potatoes,
uh, drug possession case.
Yes, it is.Why do I get the feeling
that you get the feeling that this is my fault?
Well, you should trust your feelings about my feelings.
Oh, come on. It don't rain, and that's my fault, too?
If it don't rain, why would I want it to rain?
Why would anyone want it
- to rain? - I don't know. It just came out.
Look into this for me, please.
She gave this to you.
Yes, she did. To put me in my place,
show me who's boss.
And why would she do that?
Because you...
...did this.
Just keep doing the good work that got you here, Detective.
And thank you, Ellie.Thank you.
Thank you, Commissioner.
Well done, Detective Reddick.
Thank you, sir.
And thank you.
Sir, can I ask you a question?
Sure.
Did you mean it about getting to choose our next assignments?
Well, that's a longstanding tradition in this department.
Well, mine might seem a bit unusual.
I think I've heard 'em all by now.
Unless it's Internal Affairs. No one ever asked for that.
I'm thinking Warrants or Narcotics.
Seems like we got a warrior here.
Actually, I'd like to be posted here in One PP,
on your floor.
I see.
I love these.
Bodega robberies?
No. Banh mi.
You never heard of it?Never had one.
Never heard of it.
Huh. They're, like, a Vietnamese gyro.
Except they're stuffed with pickled vegetables.
Very refreshing. I think you'd love it.
Considering I've never had a pickle in my life,
I doubt it.I didn't say pickle.
I said it's stuffed with pickled vegetables--
like pickled carrots.
You never had a pickle before in your life?
What are you talking about? Not once?
- No. - Not ever? Never?
- No. - Not in a box? Not with a fox?
And not in a house. Not with a mouse. No.
- Never had a pickle? Not even on a burger? - No. No.
She's never had a pickle before.
Ignore him. What do we have?
Name is Bao Pham. He entered his store this morning
to a burglary in progress.
Took a significant blow to the head.
Uh, the perp fled.
He's in the wind.All right,
we got it from here.
That's frightening.
You never had one pickle in your life?
You own this place?
Looks like you took a pretty serious blow there.
You okay?
I'm fine.
You get a look at the person who attacked you?
I was startled when I came in.
It all happened so fast.Understandable.
Was anyone here that might've got a look
at the person who attacked you?
I came in alone.
That your wife?
I called her after I got hit.
After?
She sounds pretty upset. What's she saying?
It's nothing.
Could be something.I was tired last night.
I never made it to the bank to make the night deposit.
You lost a lot of money?
How much money you lose?
Twenty thousand dollar.
Welcome to New York.
-CREDITS-
Ma'am, police. Do you mind answering a few questions?
You're doing great, learning so much.
Thank you. Sir, you mind if we take a look
at your security cameras?
Don't speak English.
That was English.
Excuse me...Don't speak English.
You know, the only way anyone's gonna talk to us around here
is if we suddenly learn Vietnamese.
Yo soy muy bonita.
Sí, verdad.
Pero that's Spanish.
That's not why they won't talk to you.
What was that? Look, you're the cops
trying to find out who robbed the banh mi?
Who are you?I'm the guy who knows how it works.
So tell us how it works.
All right, they won't talk to you
because they're scared, okay?
Not because they don't speak English.
Scared of what?
Payback. Retaliation.
From Born in USA.
It's the local gang that runs these streets.
Got every one of these stores under their thumb.
- How's that? - If you don't pay
for protection, you suddenly find you need protection.
- And Bao didn't want to pay? - No, he's old-school,
old-world, like a stubborn old goat.
So who runs Born in USA?
Guy by the name of Sonny.
Sonny?
So...
why here?
Who wins the war, the soldiers or the generals?
That depends on who you ask.
I think it's the generals.
- The soldiers might disagree. - Oh, then history
might disagree with the soldiers.
All due respect.
They, uh, people up here on the 14th floor,
including the ones sitting at this table,
were invited up here
because of what they did out there.
Yes, sir. And it was my work out there
that got me here today.
You don't strike me as the kind
who prefers paperwork to policework.
Well, honestly, I don't think of it as either-or.
I've had some achievements out in the streets,
thanks to great partners and CO's.
I'd like the opportunity to see
what I could achieve with you all as partners
and the commissioner as my CO.
A lot of cops have achieved out on the streets
and been rewarded for it with promotions.
Why should you be the one who gets kicked up these stairs?
As women in the PD, we often get lip service
about rewards that never seem to materialize.
Am I right?
Look, I don't have any agenda
other than to be useful,
and I'm not asking for consideration
based on anything other than my record.
Are you always this direct?
I try to be. I don't like my time wasted,
and I assume that others feel the same.
Then let me be direct as well.
I don't think you'd be a good fit up here.
But I will be happy to place you anywhere else you'd like.
Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed.
But I thank you for the consideration
and for your honesty.
You know...
people who say they like to be direct
often crumble when they're on the receiving end.
You didn't do that.
No, I guess I didn't.
Report here tomorrow 0600 hours.
Your new command will be PCO.
Thank you, sir.
Ain't she a pip.
Yup.
Is there a need up here I don't know about?
Nope.
Boss, I-I like her, too,
but she's a handful and a half.
Yeah, well, so are all of you on any given day,
you think about it.
Where are you going with this?
I don't know, exactly.
But I offered to place her anywhere she liked,
and I can't very well take it back
simply because she liked it here.
So...
What makes you so sure the D.A. knows
you're planning on running against her?
I'm not planning on running against her.
- Sorry, considering running against her. - She's considering
considering.
To your point, I'm the most senior A.D.A.
in that building, and she's hand-delivering busywork to me.
Maybe there's a good reason.
No. I'm with Erin.
Crawford's just pissed 'cause she knows
you're gonna crush her.
Like I said,
I never said I was running.
You think maybe one of us said something
about you running?
Erin would never think that. Would you?
No. Never.
So you're here for...?
Suspect's name is Marshall Clearwater.
He was picked up in the precinct next to yours.
I was hoping you could ask around,
see if there's anything I should know about this guy.
That's the only reason you're here?
- Yeah. - Don't listen to him.
We will ask around.
I have a good friend in the 2-7.
Thank you.
Oh, I got to get this.
Hey, Anthony.
Okay. I'm heading back to the office now.
What the hell happened in there?
Like he said, didn't really have a choice.
The boss always has a choice.
She was top in her class at John Jay.
Top in her class at the academy.
Ten years on the job.
Four star reviews from the chiefs.
A house mouse, probably.
Doesn't want to get her hands dirty.
Did you forget why he gave her the gold shield?
Also Street Crime, Anti-Crime,
Joint Task Force with the DEA.
So she looks good on paper.
You could say that about a lot of lukewarm cops.
What's done is done.
And we have to make the best of it now.
Hey there.
Speak of the devil and the devil appears, right?
No, no, no. We were just talking about a...
situation in midtown north.
Oh, I used to work up there.
The XO is a good friend of mine, if you want me...
No, no. We got it.
But thank you.
We didn't get a chance
to say congratulations and welcome to the team.
Thank you. That means a lot.
It's an honor to be here with you.
Likewise.
Anyway, I really am excited
to be up here with the Dream Team.
That's what the cops
out there call you guys,
in case you didn't know.
Has a nice ring to it.But...
we like to think of ourselves more like the Three Musketeers.
One, two...
three.
Copy that.
Hey! Get over here!
Stop resisting!
Hands behind your back.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Sonny.
Bro, what the hell?We're going this way.
Who the hell are you?Well, Sonny,
I'm Daddy.
So, you and your little minions like to run around the hood
beating up business owners, huh?
What?I think he's saying he doesn't speak any English.
No. I said...
Google it.
Well, I guess he speaks English.
Born here same as you.
And I'll talk.
Not because you threaten me, but because...
I did nothing wrong, so I got nothing to fear from you.
You think you're the first genius
to go around beating the crap out of business owners
until they pay you not to beat the crap out of them?
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Yeah, well, this ain't Vegas, baby.
But it ain't America, either.
Little Nam might look like America,
but our people know it is Vietnam in every way.Well, I hate
to break it to you-- you break the laws
in your neighborhood, you still go to prison
in our jails.
You have your laws.
We have our ways.
Yes, but only we have these.
So unless you want to get deported to Rikers,
you're gonna tell us who beat the crap out of Bao Pham
and took all his money.
I had nothing to do with that.
Hmm?
No, Bao is off-limits.
Why is he off-limits? He family?
You've been a cop a long time.
Right? You can smell a liar a mile away, no?
So read me.
I did not rob Bao Pham.
And what makes Bao so special?
Why is he the only one
in the neighborhood who gets a free pass, huh?
He makes the best lemongrass pork banh mi.
It's true.
You got to be kidding me.
I'm telling you, sweet...
and succulent...
Refreshing.
Told you they're refreshing.
You know, she's never had a pickle.
Oh, my God,
you actually believe him?
In a weird way, I do.
You can feel the truth.
Kind of can.
Okay, Lieutenant Stoltz.
No doubt about it, what Lieutenant Stoltz did was wrong.
Modified duty is more than warranted.
The lieutenant's union is on board.
They've signaled they won't put up a fight.
Nobody's gonna pick up a story
about an off-duty cop getting rowdy
in an upstate burg.
Especially since no charges have been filed.
Detective Reddick?
My first week-- I should probably sit this one out.
- Why is that? - Better to be quiet
and have them think you're an idiot
than open your mouth and prove it to them.
This office is the deep end of the pool.
It's for sinking or swimming.
Okay.
I think you should take Lieutenant Stoltz's bar away.
Bust him down to patrol.
For a two-hour stint
in the drunk tank
- in the Catskills? - He threw a bottle
at an 80-inch flat-screen.
Well, that's what happens at a stupid bachelor party.
Okay? The county mounties got a little too overzealous.
Still...They scooped up the whole bar.
I mean, he would've got jammed up
even if he was sober as a judge.
But he wasn't sober.
Okay, he had a couple of pops.
Enough to land him in the drunk tank, apparently.
The man's got 15 years
on the job.
No prior derelictions of duty.
I know this might be unpopular with the rank and file...
Unpopular? You take his bar, you dilute his pension.
But I also think it could go a long way with the public
in the current climate.
We do not do the weather here.
Right. Look, I just think it might go a long way
- towards... - Towards...
appeasing our critics?
Towards showing the public that we get it.
- Get what? - That cops
are not above the law.
Oh, you think our cops act like they're above the law? Wow.
No, but many of the public thinks that.
This is our opportunity to show them that we hear them.
- By throwing one of our own under the bus? - We didn't put him
in the drunk tank-- his personal choices landed him there.
Boss, please, I hope you're not considering this.
There are two ways to play this,
I will give it that.
- Oh, come on. - She's not wrong
in terms of how the demotion would play. Strong.
Oh, please. Boss, this-this...
This is low-hanging fruit.
Let's take it for once.
Under advisement.
- Does he know what we're asking for? - Only knows
you want to talk to him about his client's possession charge.
Okay, well, I'm going to open with plead to the charge
with time served, but... he's never gonna go for that.
It's worth a try.
Hi. I'm Erin Reagan. This is Detective Abetemarco.
You're the counsel for Marshall Clearwater?
Ray Gardner. Pleased to meet you.Okay, well,
this is pretty cut and dry, shouldn't take much time.
My client is a good kid.
First-time offender. Never been in trouble.
Well, I am not offering your client a violation.
He needs to plead guilty to the charge with time served.
You have a deal.
We do?
That's great.
I'll make sure to advance the case in court
so he can plead guilty.
Hey, well, that went well.
No doubt intimidated by your grace,
beauty and intelligence.
Let's take the low-hanging fruit for once.
That's a dig at me, isn't it?
No. Just advice to the commissioner.
The hell it is. It's a shot across the bow, my bow.
It's nothing personal, Sid.
It's "Lieutenant."
Nothing personal, Lieutenant.
- Are you gunning for my job? - No. Why?
Do you feel threatened?
You know what? Don't flatter yourself.
It's not my job to protect your job.
Little chilly in here.
- This one's got some nerve, I'll tell you. - My opinion
was solicited, and I offered it.
And that's not nerve, by the way.
That's just the way things work.
- Try and play nice. - I am.
Try harder. You keep launching torpedoes at her, Frank'll know.
Maybe I don't care who knows!
Sid.
Frank.
Okay.
What'd you come down here for, anyway?
To bitch about her.
Huh! See?
There you go.
Pretty delicious.
Take a bite.I'd bite you
before I'd bite that.
Pardon me?
Well, it didn't come out the way I meant it.
Just take a bite.
No. Get that away from me.
Hey!
Son of a...
We're police. You okay?
Oh, perfect.
"What happens
in Vegas."
It's a gift... from Sonny.
Mr. Long.
I'm feeling much better, thank you, Detective.
I didn't ask.
This is a complaint filed against you last year.
Is this a joke?
I get tied up and tossed out of a car,
and you're-you're talking to me about garbage from last year?
A few days ago, the same man, Mr. Bao Pham,
was assaulted and robbed.
Oh. In that case I know just the person you should talk to:
- Bernard Moskowitz. - Who is that?
My lawyer!
- Hey... - Mr. Long,
Bao Pham was hit over the head in the process.
Oh, he was hit over the head, huh?
Sounds familiar.
It does sound familiar, just like your long history
of using assault and intimidation
and strong-arm tactics against your tenants.
I own a lot of properties. There are often disputes,
especially these days with renter rights through the roof.
I don't know the guy you're talking about,
but if you say we had a disagreement,
I say so what? Typical landlord-tenant conversations.
As a landlord, you have access to the building,
which is why there were no signs of forced entry.
Mm, Bernard Moskowitz.
Bernie Moskowitz. Bernie Moskowitz!
Only say my name and I shall appear.
Let me guess,
- Bernie Moskowitz. - Bernie Moskowitz.
Mr. Long's attorney.
- Come, Connor, we're going home. - Not so fast.
We have reason to believe your client was involved
in a robbery and assault.
My client has been travelling the last two weeks.
He only arrived in New York this morning.
I have air fare and hotel receipts to prove it.
Any questions?
- Yeah, where the hell did you come from? - Goodbye.
- Get out of here. - Bernie Moskowitz.
Bernie Moskowitz.
First of all, I want to thank you
for giving me the opportunity
to once again speak on behalf of Lieutenant Stoltz.
When Detective Reddick first suggested
we take away his bar, I strongly opposed it.
- And now? - But I also believe it's important
that we consider other people's viewpoints.
And I did not do that when she raised the issue,
and I should have.
So I thought about it long and hard,
and I come to the conclusion that in some ways, she's right.
Right that we have an obligation,
especially during these days,
to show the public we hear their concerns.
For we're only as strong as our weakest link.
I'm glad to see you coming around.
But the truth is
that taking away his bar
will not make him a better
or stronger cop.
It'll only make him a bitter cop.
Bitter because him and everybody else is gonna know
that we only did it to make an example out of him.
Look, how many times are we gonna use this excuse?
I talked to Lieutenant Stoltz.
He checked himself into rehab on his own dime.
The fact that he had to put himself in rehab
speaks volumes.
And he didn't have to, he just did.
And it speaks volumes about the man's character
that he checked himself in voluntarily.
If all we do is give him a slap on the wrist,
the public will view this for what it is.
It's cops giving fellow cops a break.
A break that they themselves
would probably not receive.
Boss, all I'm saying is let not the court
of public opinion be the highest court in the land.
Under advisement.
That was really something, Sid.
Dare I say inspiring?
Downright moving, and I am not kidding,
not even a little.
It was a nice presentation, Lieutenant.
Thoughtful and compelling.
I appreciate that.
But after the bloom comes off that rose,
does the commissioner start to wonder why
it's taken you so long
to do your job the way it should be done?
Drilled down and thought through.
I got your email.
The defendant wanting to plead guilty to the charge
with time served.
Yep. It's a great deal, right?
I want more.
Uh, well, with all due respect,
this-this is a great outcome.
We-we should take it.
I want more.
More...
? More, more, more
? How do you like it? How do you like it? ?
Uh, what?
You know, the disco song.
Right.
I just--
I'm sorry, I have to ask, do you...
do you have something you want to talk to me about?
No.
? More, more, more
? How do you like it? How do you like it? ?
? More, more, more.
...business owners, huh?
What?
I think that means he doesn't speak any English.
No, I said...
Why do you keep watching that over and over again?
I'm looking for something.
- What? - I don't know.
Whatever we missed.
Whatever little thing it was
that slipped through the cracks in the box.
- Hello, Daniel. - What do you want?
Excuse me?
That's what you say whenever I enter your office.
So, what do you want?
Maybe she just stopped by to say hello.
Yeah, maybe I just stopped by to say hello.
Right. Like it wasn't you who crashed your Datsun
into my '70 Camaro back in high school.
Oh, my Lord, when are you gonna get over that?
It wasn't me.
You were the only person
parked directly in front of me.
How do you drive with this guy?
I say a novena every morning.
Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone
about your bumper sticker.
Oh, what bumper sticker?
Now you can move on to the next person
on your list; Francis X. Reagan.
His office is a few blocks away, if you dare.
That's not why I'm here, thank you very much.
Then why are you here?
Does the name Marshall Clearwater ring a bell?
He was collared for possession, and the D.A.
wants me to look into it.
Possession?
Don't get me started, okay?
Anyway, Eddie's got a friend in the adjacent precinct
who says my guy Marshall has got a cousin
who's a heavy hitter, and you collared him.
He ran the, Ludlow Street Syndicate.
Does it ring any bells?
...business owners, huh?
What?
I think that means he doesn't speak any English.
No, I said...
Google it.
I'll look into that. We gotta go.
- We do? - Yeah.
Come on.
See ya.
Hey, so you really didn't say anything
about that bumper sticker?
I knew it. I knew it.
I'm really happy I smashed that stupid Camaro.
- I knew that, too. - Yeah.
Hi, yo, Detective, you get that Secret Santa gift?
- Yeah. Too bad it was garbage. - Your new BFF?
"You can kiss my skinny ass."
You can go straight to HR.
Not you. That's what he said to me in Vietnamese
in the box, which gave me this idea.
Am I supposed to know what that means?
Just go along with the plan.
- We are very busy. Can't talk right now. - I understand.
We just have a few more questions.
I'm trying to put this behind me.
You being here is only gonna make things worse.
See? You already make it worse.
We understand you're frustrated.
Look, we think someone either picked the lock
or had a key; we spoke to your landlord.
You talk to landlord? Oh, no.
You just create more trouble.
Not if you just work with us.
You're making my wife upset. Please leave.
- Mr. Pham... - I said go!
There's nothing else! Go!
- Okay. Okay. - Go! Leave. Leave!
That was fun.
I just love being yelled at in a foreign tongue
and getting kicked out of places.
You did great.
Well, wish I could say the same.
Any reason why you kept your mouth shut?
Yeah.
Oh, great, you recorded it
so I could relive the torture.
Except now in English.
English?
Just tell him who did it,
you stubborn old man.
Just tell him who did it,
you stubborn old man.
It's a translation app. Sometimes I'm actually smart.
When you're not being stupid.
What am I doing here?
Just a quick follow-up. Got a few more questions.
Yeah, I already told you
everything I know about the gang.
Which I didn't have to do, by the way, that was a favor.
And I appreciate that.
But I wanted to make sure you didn't leave anything out.
I didn't.
Um, I think you did.
Okay, like what?
Like the fact that you are Bao and Linh Pham's son.
Like the fact that you have a serious gambling problem.
Everybody gambles in Little Vietnam.
It's a cultural thing.
But not everybody owes their bookie $20,000
and suddenly has the debt gone just a few days later.
Just a few days after their parents' store was robbed.
I didn't rob my parents' store.
No, you robbed your parents' store
and beat your own father over the head.
That's a lie.
Well, I'm not the one who said it.
What are you talking about?
Who's behind there? What are you looking at?
What kind of person steals from their parents
and beats up their own father?
I didn't do it. It wasn't me.
- Yes, you did. - Dad.
No, don't do this.
Do you have any idea what's gonna happen to me?
What should have happened a long time ago.
Ba!
On your feet.
Do you have something for me?
I give you... more.
These are new charges against the defendant.
Felony charges.
It turns out the defendant is much more than
just a guy possessing a small amount of drugs.
He's actually the heir apparent.
To?
To the Ludlow Street Syndicate, run by his cousin,
who was sent away last month for the next ten years.
We believe the defendant is now running the operation.
I would say that definitely qualifies as more.
But you already knew that, right?
Me?
You gave me this small case because
you knew it wasn't small.
I had a hunch,
so I wanted my best person on it.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for this.
? More, more, more
? How do you like it? How do you like it? ?
There is no right decision,
there's only the decision itself
and the willingness to accept its consequences.
These guy have heard a version of that a hundred times.
More like a million, but who's counting?
I'm the boss, I'm the one who has to make those decisions,
then live with them.
Understood.
Detective Reddick,
you made a compelling argument
for busting him down to patrol.
I appreciate you hearing me out on the issue,
and even considering my point of view.
Well, I've done more than that.
I don't get it.
He's going your way.
Seriously?
Not quite. I'm taking his bar
and busting him down to sergeant.
Boss?
Sid, the case you made
for Lieutenant Stoltz
reminded me of why I brought you up here in the first place.
So thank you.
And, Detective Reddick,
you did good work.
Thank you.
I think you made the right decision.
Really?
Sorry. There is no right decision.
It could easily have gone the other way.
I understand.
I hope you do.
What is this?
You're transferring me?
It's an open transfer.
You can fill in the bureau.
I thought you just said I was doing good work.
I did.
Then what's the problem?
There isn't one.
I don't understand.
Well, look, what you did here in one week
was pretty remarkable,
and you brought out the best in my team.
I'm still waiting for the part where I screwed up.
Well, the fact that you didn't is what focused me.
Sir...
Well, look...
We're far from perfect up here,
but we're angels compared to the devils
out there on the street.
I can't waste you up here
when I could have you working out there.
Do good work, come back safe.
Yes, sir.
Ever see the movie The Godfather?
"Leave the gun, take the cannoli." Good line.
A lot of good lessons in that movie, too.
Never speak outside the family.
That's a good one.
Even though you're named Sonny,
you might want to take a few more lessons
from Michael, though.
Like Michael wanted to get out of crime,
take the family business legit.
Easier for him than me.
Yeah. But you're smart like Michael was.
And, like Michael, you're cursed...
with big balls, but a heart that's in the right place.
That's why these knuckleheads will do anything for you.
- And I'll do anything for them. - Of course you will.
It's because you're a good leader.
Because of that, you don't have to
build your business down here in the street.
You could build it up in one of those high-rises.
Or you could work with me.
Think about it.
What's wrong with me, Anthony?
Oh, so, so many things.
I'm being serious.
Yeah, so am I.
Oh, come on!
I'm just kidding.
There's practically nothing wrong with you.
Practically?
Your feet.
They're a little big for me.
Wh... What?
Oh, come on, would you knock it off?
There's nothing wrong with you.
Then why do I always assume the worst in people?
- You don't. - I do.
The D.A. put me on this case 'cause she thinks I'm the best.
I thought it was to put me in my place,
which actually just makes me the worst.
No, it makes you human.
Something that you Reagans have a hard time swallowing.
I know I'm human, Anthony.
Yeah, but you don't like it.
You think it's like any other weakness.
Something you could rise above
if you really, really put your mind to it.
Crawford knows I don't like her,
and yet she regards me highly.
She respects me.
So what's your point?
What makes me think
I should replace her as D.A.?
Nothing to see here.
Night, Sid.
Good night, fatso.
They got no offense, and they got even less defense.
Mark my words,
come the playoffs, they're the team to beat.
Playoffs? That's a fantasy.
Yeah, I don't know, Pops.
Oh, ye of so little faith.
Just for the record, I'm out.
You're out?
Out of what?
I'm not running.
Like for a marathon?
No, not for, like, a marathon.
Like, I'm not running for the D.A.'s job.
Any particular reason?
It's just not for me right now, that's all.
I see.
So this has nothing to do with...Nope.
Nothing to do with anything.
Just a personal choice.
So it was just a coincidence that you were running around
paranoid that one of us blabbed about your bumper sticker,
and now you're cutting bait?
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, Danny.
Okay.
Sometimes it's a lot more than a cigar.
Pop, am I the only one missing something here?
Not a clue. Lost in the dark here.
It's a long story with no point, Dad.
I love long stories with no point.
I just don't want to do it.
Can't that just be enough?
It can be...
if that's how you really feel.
Well, it is, so that's that.
My two cents?
How did I know that "that's that"
was not going to be that's that?
It's never that.
Sometimes an emphatic no is the last step
you have to take before jumping in with two feet.
Something to think about.
And Pop's right, but not only will they make the playoffs,
they will run the table.
- What?! - That's the spirit!
You're crazy.
- They have no shot. - He's delusional.
It could happen.
No, no, it couldn't.
The man knows what he's talking about.
No shot.No, it couldn't.
He's delusional and you're delusional.
- No, sir! - And you're delusional, too.
