Short filmTranscript
00:01I'm suspended.
00:02I'm technically not even a detective anymore.
00:04They said I was consistently reckless,
00:06inappropriate, and glib.
00:08Why can't you just hide me on a desk in here or something?
00:10I wouldn't even be doing any real work.
00:11I'd just be checking the websites I like.
00:15You want your job back.
00:16I've got something that the sheriff
00:18wants you to drive to Miami.
00:20The arm? That's all they found?
00:21Nah, man. The head's in the passenger seat.
00:23If you're too grouchy to answer the question,
00:25just say I'm too grouchy to answer the question.
00:26You don't have to hit me with the head in the passenger seat.
00:28The widow, Ann Stripling,
00:31reported her husband missing.
00:33She needs the arm to bury him.
00:34When did you learn Nick was missing?
00:36I was in Paris.
00:37It was a birthday present from him.
00:39So were these.
00:40Fancy.
00:41They were like 10 grand.
00:42Why are we whispering?
00:43I don't know.
00:44What if this wasn't an accident?
00:46I'm telling you, she was trying very hard to cry.
00:48What are you doing? You're not a cop.
00:50Leave it alone.
00:52I can't get involved in this.
00:54You're the one that got me involved.
00:55Oh, you want to stop being polite and start getting real?
00:58In my defense, I thought you were too young to know that.
01:00Inspector Yancey, I have a few questions.
01:03What time is it?
01:04Just past bathrobe time, so you're still good.
01:06Okay.
01:07I want a lot of immunity.
01:08Well, how about just a normal amount of immunity?
01:10No, it's got to be a lot, a lot.
01:14I have an ungod authority that Eve is in the Bahamas to grieve.
01:17I really need to find her.
01:18Go talk to the Dragon Queen.
01:23None of this is going to go the way you want it to.
01:27I don't want that.
01:30So who's this guy?
01:31He's a little older, talks way too much.
01:33This guy is as dirty as a sock on the highway.
01:35That's not a real expression.
01:36None of them are real expressions until someone says them, okay?
01:39So I'm a groundbreaker.
01:40And his ex-girlfriend is a criminal.
01:42I like her for you.
01:45My gut is telling me that there's somebody who's keeping an eye on me
01:48because of what I know, but I really don't know what I know.
01:53You had a concussion.
01:54I'm fine.
01:55Please tell me you didn't drive here.
01:56I don't think I did.
01:59I have a plan.
02:00No, you don't.
02:01I'm going to make a plan the second you leave.
02:05Your magic ain't working.
02:06All kinds of bad people getting in the water now.
02:12What did you do?
02:13I'm in a bit of a jam here.
02:14Dude, you're a murder suspect.
02:16Maybe it's even a pickle.
02:17On a scale from one to ten, how screwed am I?
02:20A million.
02:21You couldn't just say ten?
02:22You don't think I'd understand that ten is bad?
02:24Your place is a rat trap.
02:25Why don't you get a cat?
02:26I have one right here.
02:27You have to buy a tiger.
02:28You can't get tigers in Florida, idiot.
02:30There was a documentary about it, dumbass.
