Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"He really went out on a limb," Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.

OK, just for that I hope they don't catch him.

What is even happening?

They did, but I kinda love the cop for saying that.

Always Anti-fascist!

That cop's life is not gonna be easy, either. I suspect some kind of forest ranger nickname in his future.

Maybe. Although the ultimate cop moniker belongs to a retired LAPD detective nicknamed "Jigsaw" because not long after he joined the detective squad he found and identified a woman from...the pieces. In 1948. The old guys still call him that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dana, you know I'd take his side in the argument...

That was some tennis. Exciting enough watching from a distance on time delay. Some tennis.

I'm 40. I'm too old to even try to be a cop now, aren't I?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm 40. I'm too old to even try to be a cop now, aren't I?

Rock stardom may be beyond your grasp as well.

When was your birthday?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My father fell out of a tree last week. Don't let your age stop you from trying improbable things.

Except, well, he fell. I didn't check to see the last time he'd achieved tree safely, but bully for him at 70 DOING STUPID PHYSICAL THINGS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a question of standards. I have a linen pants suit that I'm planning on wearing to work tomorrow. I've worn it once since it came from the cleaners, so it's wrinkled, as linen does. I could iron it tonight, but I'm pretty sure it will be exactly as wrinkled as it is now by the time I get to work in the morning, no matter what. I mean, right?

Am I just making lazy excuses?
