That's my purse.

Miss, this is my purse.

- I'm just looking through it.

- Help!

This is my purse.

Somebody help!

She's trying to take my purse.

Give me my purse!

Give me my purse.

I'm not doing anything.

I'm just looking through it.

I'm just looking through it.

Let me have my things.

Put your hands

where I can see them.

Whose purse is this?

It's my purse.

Get your hands out of there.

I just want to

look through it.

I just want to look through it.

Put your hands on the rail.

Hands on the rail.

What's your name, ma'am?

Turn around.

Don't move.

Miranda, are you okay?

Don't resist, don't resist.

Give me your other hand.

You're only making it harder.

Don't resist.

It hurts.

You're being arrested.

Let's check the bag.

[Cell phone ringing]

You think you could

answer that for me?

She's getting a cell call.

Just answer it.

Just ask who it is.

- Hello?

- Tell them I'll call them back.

No, this is not Elaine.

Listen, she's under arrest.

Li... you don't give a sh*t?

Listen, this is a police officer

talking to you, all right?

This is not a game.

She's under arrest.

You can talk to her later

when she gets out.

You want to leave a message,

fine,

other than that I can't help...

This f***in' prick just hung up

on me, you believe this?

Who the hell was that?

[Indistinct radio chatter]

Central,

Somebody harassing animals

at the zoo?

We're going to the zoo?

Hey, wait,

where are you guys going?

You're just gonna leave me here?

We're going to the zoo.

Why? You want to come?

I've never been to

the Central Park Zoo before.

Oh, I suppose you want

a hot dog too with mustard,

sauerkraut.

I've never been

to the zoo before.

Come on,

we can't leave her here.

All right, take her out.

Come on.

I've been to the Bronx Zoo.

I've been to the

Prospect Park Zoo.

But I've never been

to the Central Park Zoo before.

What are you doing?

She's our prisoner.

It's okay.

Come on, it's okay.

Will you put your stick

back in your pants?

All right, hold on, hold on.

Don't go nowhere.

We got you.

Okay.

This'll be fun.

So we're just

gonna wait around here?

Yeah.

Do we have to?

Can we go inside

for a little bit?

I don't think

that's a great idea.

Yeah, but, like,

can we just go inside

and just look around

a little bit?

We don't have to go near them.

We can just look around the zoo

for a little while.

I can't.

I can't do it.

Please?

Please.

I don't think

that's a good idea.

Please.

Ten minutes.

Not a minute less.

Okay.

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes, that's it.

- Ten minutes.

- Okay, okay.

- Ten minutes.

- Okay.

[Voices overlapping]

I like the way

they shake their arms.

They're all mellow.

I want to see them, like,

jumping out.

[Laughs]

Oh, my God.

Turn around.

[Kissing sound]

Hey, son!

You know, the funny part is...

I knew this guy for years.

What'd you do?

I don't know.

Me neither.

Officer, what exactly

are you charging me with?

Petting... petting an animal

at a zoo?

Is that what you're gonna...

is that what you're gonna

charge me with?

His number should be

at the desk,

and you call him directly, man.

Hey.

Hey, man, is there any way

you can take the cuffs off me?

'Cause my mom lives here,

and l...

you know, I'll just tell her

that I was, like,

paying a parking ticket

or something.

Officer, can you take the cuffs

off me?

As soon as we get inside,

my man.

Can you do it now?

You'll have to wait

for the sergeant on that.

Yo, where's your hat?

Sorry.

And don't forget

the bag either.

The sarge sees you

without that hat,

we'll never hear the end of it.

Yeah, you're right,

you're right, you're right.

Now you got to go

make a left.

[Laid-back indie rock music]

I know your days been long ?

? Your head's on fire ?

? Honey tell me all about it ?

? Keeping all those

spiders quiet ?

? Pinching in the sides

of your stomach ?

? She's the kind of girl

that takes your lonely day ?

? and paints it black ?

? She's the kind

of homesick wind ?

? that pulls the grin

from a horse's mouth ?

? It's hard to love the son

when he don't love you back ?

? He just stands there

sweating and smiling ?

? Lady plant

don't you look so sad ?

? Don't you look at him

like that ?

? She's got a mom and dad

in a Ziploc bag ?

? hanging on the wall ?

? Come on and take

the long way home ?

? Take it anywhere at all ?

? Just take it out ?

[Music stops]

I would like to play

a little tune

I just composed not too long ago

entitled Pannonica.

It was named after

this beautiful lady here.

I think her father

gave her that name

after a butterfly

that he tried to catch.

I don't think

he caught the butterfly.
