Hey, you guys, you ain't got mace, you ain't got any armored tanks, you ain't got instant banana peel. What do you got in this town? You should see what they got in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City. This ig a nothin' town: it's 2 pushover. So they're all gettin’ real interested, you know, droolin'; we were tellin" ‘em how many kids the cops in Chicago were killing; they're droolin'. You're a drug addict. Yea, I'm from New England; I shoot maple syrup. Ha ha. They said, oh yea, how is it? I said, sweet. It's awful sweet. It's awful sticky, though. Wouldn't like it. Yea, let me see it.

Well, I got cleared for that finally because they didn’t have a, they said there were all these eyewitnesses, but they couldn't produce ‘em, see, so it only offended the cop's morals and if you only offend a cop's morals, it ain't good enough.
