- [Mrs. Burton starts crying over a failed ransom call trace]
- Det. Frank Drebin: Just relax. Everything's going to be all right.
- Capt. Ed Hocken: Mrs. Burton, what did he say?
- Mrs. Burton: Just relax. Everything's going to be all right.
- Capt. Ed Hocken: No. The kidnapper.
- Mrs. Burton: He said he'll call us soon for the instructions for the money drop. And if we don't do what he says, he'll kill Terri.
- [cries on her husband's shoulder]
- Mr. Burton: Lt. Drebin, what do I do?
- Det. Frank Drebin: Well, as I understand it, you're in the textile business.
- Mr. Burton: I mean, I don't want the police involved in this.
- Capt. Ed Hocken: Nah, we all got to work together to capture this kidnapper.
- Mr. Burton: I'll pay whatever ransom is necessary to get Terri back.
- Det. Frank Drebin: No, that would be giving into him. These people are emotionally unstable. Got a case like this, similar. Kidnappers cut the victim's ear off and send it to the family.
- [Mrs. Burton shrieks in disgust]
- Capt. Ed Hocken: So, you see, you've got to let us help you.
- Det. Frank Drebin: Not the whole ear, of course. Just a peace of it.
- [Mrs. Burton half sobs]
- Capt. Ed Hocken: And if this whole thing blows over, we'll return Terri's ear, if she's still alive.
- [Mrs. Burton starts sobbing]
- Det. Frank Drebin: She's taking it hard.
- Capt. Ed Hocken: Yeah. We'd better go, Frank. We'll leave Officer Nordberg here. If you need anything, just ask him.
- Det. Frank Drebin: We'll be in touch.
- [they start walking out, and approach Nordberg]
- Capt. Ed Hocken: After we go, I want you to nose around.
- Det. Frank Drebin: And keep an eye out for the ear.
- Norberg: Yes, Sir.
- [goes up to Mrs. Burton who is just beginning to wind down]
- Norberg: Don't you worry, Mrs. Burton. When Terri's ear comes, I'll handle it.
- [Mrs. Burton sobs again]
