00:20Or you can do it his way.
00:21Can I have a dozen donuts, please?
00:22What's the suspect's name?
00:23Earl.
00:24Hey Earl!
00:25Man, what's in the bag?
00:26These are donuts, Earl.
00:27Give me my car, man!
00:28Everybody relax.

01:10and there's a special on toilet paper 4 for $1.29.
01:13...and his latest case...
01:15I'm not armed, okay?
01:16All right, Roper, you wanna come? Come.
01:18...just might leave him speechless.
01:20Are you feeling anything?
01:22On January 17th...
01:24You're gonna have to take this guy out.
01:26He's got a real calm and creepy demeanor.
01:28The guy's a wacko.
