Listen to me, Miss, it's just some a**hole trying to hassle you.

Where is he?

We got him. He's in that police car right over there. In ankle cuffs, handcuffs. Enought sedatives to kill a horse. We're gonna take him to the hospital. We'll have four cops guarding him around the clock.

Jill Johnson:
That's not enough.

Officer Burroughs:
Has he been using threatening language?

Jill Johnson:
No, sometimes he doesn't even say anything, he just keeps on calling.
