Travis:
Hey, you're a Secret Service man aren't ya? Huh?

Agent:
Just waiting for the Senator.

Travis:
You're waiting for the Senator? Oh! That's a very good answer. Sh*t! I'm waitin' for the sun to shine. Yeah. No, the reason I, I asked if you were a Secret Service man, I won't say anything, because I ...I saw some suspicious looking people over there. [Travis points away]' Yeah, they were over there, right over there. They were just here, uh. They were very, very, uh...

Agent:
...suspicious...

Travis:
Yeah. Is it hard to get to be in the Secret Service?

Agent:
Why?

Travis:
Well, I was just curious, because I think I'd be good at it. Very observant. I was in the Marine Corps you know, I'm good with crowds. I'm noticin' the little pin there. [Looking at the agent's lapel] That's like a signal isn't it?

Agent:
Sort of.

Travis:
A signal. A secret signal for the Secret Service. Hey, what kind of guns do you guys carry? .38s, .45s, .357 Magnums, somethin' bigger maybe?

Agent:
Look, uh, if you're really interested, if you give me your name and address, we'll send you all the information on how to apply. How's that?

Travis:
You will?

Agent:
Sure. [The agent takes out a notepad]

Travis:
OK. Why not? My name is Henry Krinkle. K-R-I-N-K-L-E. 154 Hopper Avenue.

Agent:
Hopper?

Travis:
Yeah. You know like a rabbit, hip, hop. Ha, ha. Fair Lawn, New Jersey.

Agent:
Is there a zip code to that Henry?

Travis:
Yeah, 610452. OK?

Agent:
That's, uh, six digits.

Travis:
Oh, well 61045.

Agent:
OK.

Travis:
I was thinking of my telephone number.

Agent:
Well, I've got it all. Henry, we'll get all the stuff right out to you.

Travis:
Thanks a lot. Hey, great. Thanks a lot. Hell, Jesus. Be careful today.

Agent:
Right. Will do.

Travis:
You have to be careful in and around a place like this. Bye.
