The Osterman Weekend1983

[the Motorcycle Cop pulls Osterman over]

Bernard Osterman:
What's the trouble?

Motorcycle Cop:
Can I see your license, please?

Bernard Osterman:
Yeah, I wasn't speeding though. I've given that up. You know I've cut, I've cut way back on speeding. I've cut, cut it way down.

Motorcycle Cop:
Yeah I thought that was you, you write for TV, don't ya?

Bernard Osterman:
Yeah that's me. Yeah I'm, I'm on my way to catch a plane though, right.

Motorcycle Cop:
Oh, don't worry, you'll make it. I like your stuff, Mister Osterman. Only sometimes I think you tend to be a little strident, ya know.

Bernard Osterman:
Strident? Are you giving me a ticket for strident writing are you? That means the death penalty for Beverly Hills parking violations is coming back too, huh?

Motorcycle Cop:
[smiles] Have a nice day.

Bernard Osterman:
Yeah.
