The Streets of San Francisco1972
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
[Stone looks at the book Keller presented him as a gift] Poems? Poetry?
Inspector Steve Keller:
It's Ezra Pound. Remember Williams talking about him at the school?
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
Yeah, I remember. He talked to his class about him, yeah.
Inspector Steve Keller:
That's right. That's for you.
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
[Reading a random page] Oh, now wait a minute. I can't read this.
Inspector Steve Keller:
Why not?
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
Listen: "Raineth drop and staineth slop." Oh, come on now.
Inspector Steve Keller:
Wait a minute, what?
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
Yeah. "Raineth drop and staineth slop. Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us." Now come on. Isn't poetry supposed to be clear and to the point?
Inspector Steve Keller:
That's right.
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
Well, I've got something clear and to the point for you, young fella.
Inspector Steve Keller:
[Watching as Stone pulls a card from his pocket] What is this?
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
Sit quietly. "You have a right to remain silent." Is that clear?
Inspector Steve Keller:
That's clear.
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
"Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law." Is that to the point?
Inspector Steve Keller:
That's to the point.
Detective Lt. Mike Stone:
All right, then get going!
