- Herkimer: Tell me, C.C. - why in this day and age would a smart young man decide to become a flatfoot?
- C.C.: Well, when I was 10 years old I fell in love with my 4th grade teacher, and *she* married a cop. And I figured if it was good enough for her, it'd be good enough for me.
- Herkimer: Amo, amas, amat.
- C.C.: *Yeah*. You know, I've read a lot of your stuff in the Journal.
- Herkimer: Yeah?
- C.C.: You'd've made a good cop.
- Herkimer: *Thanks*.
- C.C.: Except you're flat at the wrong end.
- [C.C. pats him on the arm]
- Fred Piper: Hah!
- Herkimer: Hah!
- [he exits]
- C.C.: You heard about our lieutenant?
- [Piper nods]
- C.C.: He was wrong, Piper.
- Fred Piper: Maybe he was wrong... maybe right... maybe both. It takes a human being to be right and wrong at the same time. And remember this: to be a good cop you've *got* to be a human being.
- C.C.: Yeah? I never read that in the code.
