Wait, man.
Hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey!
Put the clipboard
down, Serpico.
He's just getting
ready to move that, man.
Oh. Okay, great.
If you could just move it,
that'd be great.
Cool, man, no problem.
Damn, came out
of nowhere.
City make you
wear them shorts?
Yeah, these are regulation-
we have to wear 'em
till December 1.
Between those shorts and
that little-ass truck,
the sh*t's humiliating, man.
It's a living, right?
Man, I'm glad
I seen you when I did.
I can't afford
another ticket.
Ooh, actually, you know,
it's already been processed.
Whatcha talking about?
Well, this clipboard's
a computer.
You see, once I push "send,"
it goes straight to Albany.
It's in the system.
Well, un-send
it, then.
You can't un-send it;
it's too late.
You're not listening.
Now, I'm telling you,
take my sh*t
out the system,
meter maid.
Uh, guys, please...
- I have to get going...
- Get going?!
Where the hell
you think you're going?
You slam the door on me?
Hey, boy, get your ass
out of that box!
I'll start kicking
your ass, boy. What...
Hey, where you going?
Get away.
Turtle One to base,
Turtle One to base, come in.
Hello?
Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
Look at him.
- Don't make me use it, man.
- Use it.
Don't hesitate!
Shoot his ass!
Yo, man!
Man, what the
hell happened?
Sh*t, Lloyd, you hit him.
No, I don't think so.
It must have been
a ricochet.
Hello!
Hello!
Were you hit by a ricochet?
Little ticket man!
Blink twice
if you can hear me!
Man, he ain't hit nowhere.
He's faking, man.
He just fainted.
Aw, man, you okay?
Yes.
I'm sorry, I just...
I get these panic attacks
sometimes, that's all.
Damn!
You can't do this
to me, man. Huh?
I get nervous, you had
my heart going all fast.
- I-I'm sorry, really.
- Yeah.
You know, just... here, let me
pay for your ticket, okay?
Yeah, that's more like it.
Here you go, that's $80-
that should cover it.
I- I mean,
$80 is nice, dude,
it's sweet, but what about
all the mental distress
I just went through?
You got something for that?
Yeah.
What else you got?
Could someone explain to me
how one
of my parking enforcement agents
manages to lose his badge,
his uniform
and his standard-issue
New Balance sneakers.
What could I do, Sarge?
They took everything.
I'm sorry.
I... I was reading through
my employee benefits,
and it says
I'm entitled to meet
with a government counselor.
I'd like to meet
with a counselor.
You're looking at him.
What do you mean?
I'm the assigned counselor
for District 240.
I figure, hey, why not take
the bump on the paycheck.
Besides, I'm redoing
my kitchen.
Oh, um...
Don't worry.
I took the quiz.
I'm certified.
Well...
I feel very, um,
- alone.
- Uh-huh.
And sometimes I get
these panic attacks where I...
Oh, oh.
Hold that. That's good.
Sweetie.
You wouldn't believe
what I'm doing right now.
I'm counseling.
For real!
Yo, Sarge,
check it out, man.
I heard we got a new
dress code around here.
How do I look?
How do I look?!
You look good!
I like that!
- Come on, come on, Rog, let's...
- Look at this guy!
You are a good dancer, bud!
Yeah!
Where are my pants?
Where's my shoes at?

Hi, Roger.
Hey.
So... so, you guys
gonna play some
tennis or something?
Yeah.
Wow, what gave it away?
You should work
for Homeland Security.
Becky.
So, um... I read that letter
that you posted
to the building manager.
Oh, you did?
Yeah. I thought it was great.
Oh, well, thanks.
I mean, really well written.
Aren't you getting your master's
in English?
Yep, I am.
Wow. Looks like you're
well on your way.
Congrats.
Thanks.
Casanova's really pulling
out all the stops today.
Seriously, where should
I throw my panties?
I'm sorry, Roger.
Becky thinks that any guy
that even talks to a girl
- has to be a stalker.
- I don't.
I just think he is.
Aren't you, Roger?
Uh, excuse me.
Where are you going?
This is the
third floor.
Oh, yeah, I know,
but I was...
I forgot something
upstairs.
You guys have a great day.
Hey, Ian.
Oh, hey, Rog.
How you doing?
I'm okay.
Have you seen Wally around?
We're learning
the backstroke today.
Uh... you know what,
you might come on in.
I want to talk to you
about Wally for a second.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Just...
it'll take a sec.
Is everything okay?
Huh? Uh, yeah, yeah.
He's-he's-he's fine,
he's fine. Uh...
Thing is...
he wants a new
big brother.
What?!
You know, I'm sure
he just wants
to play the field
a little.
You know, see what
else is out there.
You know how kids are.
Wow.
Can I at least
talk to him?
Roger, the kid is nine
years old, all right?
His dad just got shot
in the heart, all right?
Don't you think he's
been through enough?
Okay. Well...
No. No, man.
This is the third time
this has happened.
I mean, maybe it's time to
stop chasing rainbows, buddy.
All right. Okay.
- Sorry, man.
- No.
Take it easy.
Oh, sorry.
You have to take
your hand off.
Okay, go. Take it. No.
Take your hand off.
Roger, just stand away
for one second.
Okay, the buzzer...
G- Go now.
d d
Hey, Roger!
Hold up, man.
Listen, I know...
Are you... crying?
I'm sorry.
It's not just Wally,
it's... everything.
- He's crying.
- Mac!
It's all right, man,
it's... it's okay, it's...
Uh, yeah. Shh.
All right, man.
Listen...
Okay. Listen.
Listen, man.
I know this guy,
all right?
And he, uh...
he runs this thing.
I think it'd be
a big help for you.
What do you mean?
What kind of thing?
Look, here, just call
this number, all right?
But you didn't
get it from me.
I don't understand.
Look, Roger, I...
I used to be like...
you, you know?
But look at me now, man.
I run this entire place.
I'm dating two
different Asian chicks.
You want things to change?
Call the number and
follow the instructions.
I got to go.
Call it... or burn it.
Hey, Perkins, what the
f*** did I tell you?
Get inside and
get your pudding.
MAN:
Hello.
Hi, I'm calling about...
For new student registration,
