[dramatic music]
[revving]
[music continues]
[revving continues]
Aw, come on, Ponch.
We're gonna be late again.
Would you hurry up?
[sighs]
Hey, Ponch!
Briefing's in 30 minutes!
If we're late again--
[Ponch]
'Hang on, partner.'
'We'll make it
with time to spare.'
Besides, we haven't
been late in three days.
- Good morning, partner.
- Good morning.
And you know, Getraer doesn't
'give out gold stars for that.'
Hey, old buddy,
anything is possible
when you got
good karma like me.
Good karma?
Yeah, I'm a Scorpio, old buddy.
[Baker]
'So?'
So the moon's
in Saturn right now.
Oh, and that
gives you good karma?
[Ponch]
'You got it.'
Yeah, well, we better hurry up
because, uh, Getraer doesn't
give out late passes
no matter where your
moon is or what it's in.
[revving]
[dramatic music]
[revving]
[music continues]
Hey!
[indistinct chatter]
[dramatic music]
My watch! My wallet! Hey!
[revving]
[dramatic music]
Come back here! Come back!
Come back here!
[instrumental music]
Miss E-Z ON again, huh?
Yeah, that's what I call
starting the day off right.
Yeah, well, you two
better quit meeting like this
or you're gonna end up kissing
the back door of an 18-wheeler.
Well, sometimes I think
it'd be worth it, partner.
Look at her.
She's a work of art.
[dramatic music]
[revving]
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[tires screech]
Hey, mister,
what's the matter with you?
[gasping]
This-this guy came along
and-and he ripped
my watch right off my wrist.
And-and then he went
inside my pocket
and-and took out my wallet.
Hey, try and calm yourself.
Now who are you talking about?
This-this crazy, bearded guy
on-on-on-on-on
a wild motorcycle.
I-i-if you hurry,
y-y-you can catch him.
Okay. In the meantime,
why don't you pull your car
over to the shoulder,
and, uh, we'll be back
in a minute
or send another unit.
[revving]
Thanks.
[revving]
[dramatic music]
Uh, excuse me, miss.
Have a light, please?
[dramatic music]
- Thank you.
- What are you do..?
What are you doing?
Come back here!
Give me back my purse!
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[Ponch]
There he is.
LA 15, 7 Mary 3 and 4 in
pursuit of possible 211 suspect
'headed south
on Riverside off of 5.'
[siren wailing]
[revving]
[tires screech]
[siren wailing]
[grunting]
End of the road, hot dog.
LA 15, 7 Mary 3 and 4,
pursuit is code 4.
A 7 Adam is en route.
Alright, where's the loot?
You ain't gonna find
nothing on me, pig.
Hey, do me a favor.
Save the compliments
for the judge.
Nothing on him, Baker.
Hey, the bike's clean.
He must have ditched everything.
Not bad, dude.
You learned that before
or after reform school?
Yeah, I don't have
to rap with you.
I wanna talk to my lawyer.
Oh, yeah.
We don't wanna do anything
to infringe on your
rights, do we, now?
Good goin' there, guys.
That's some real nice
riding there, J.B.
You drive a mean machine.
What? I bust you
before or something?
Give it some time.
It'll come to you.
Oh, you're gonna have
plenty of that, buddy.
- Book him, Bar, 2-11.
- Right, Ponch.
Hey, you know him?
Yeah. I, uh..
I don't know.
I know the face--
Ah, he probably just
read your nameplate.
Yeah, maybe that's it.
Hey, Jon.
[instrumental music]
[sighs]
Ah.
Ponch, come on.
It's just a picture.
Yeah, but, what a view.
Makes me wanna take
the day off and go to the beach.
Yeah, well, uh, I have a feeling
you better invite Getraer
'cause I think
he wants to see ya today.
[theme music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
You know, that guy on the bike
really messed my shirt up.
Hey, you remember
that gang fight
under the San Berdoo,
uh, last month?
[Ponch]
'Uh-huh.'
I wonder if that dude
was one of their leaders.
Nah, both of them
were under 6 feet.
Hey, why don't you forget it?
The 211 was just probably trying
to psyche you out, you know?
[woman on police radio
speaking indistinctly]
Yeah. I guess you're right.
Sure, I'm right. It happens
all the time, partner.
Oh, brother. Come on.
Hey, Miss E-Z ON.
There's the big Gross
and little Fritz.
Hope you brought notes
from your mamas
'cause you guys, uh,
missed homeroom today
and Getraer's carrying
a very big stick.
Ah, maybe we ought to avoid
Getraer altogether today, Ponch
and just go on patrol.
Yeah. Let's go on the beach.
You too, huh, Ponch?
[Ponch]
'Huh?'
The whole world's
in love with Miss E-Z ON.
Yeah. Too bad she
isn't real, you know?
She's real enough
to the Getraer's.
Wait a minute.
What are you talking about?
The chick.
The model. Miss E-Z ON.
She's a friend of the Getraer's
family or something.
You're kidding.
You wouldn't be putting
me on, would you, Art?
Me, kid you?
No, why would I?
[Ponch]
No, no, no, allow me.
For my favorite sergeant.
Cream or sugar?
Uh, I usually take
my hot chocolate black, Frank.
Uh, well, hey, coffee will keep
you from falling asleep, sarge.
Well, I sincerely
hope so, Frank.
It's only, uh,
9:30 in the morning.
- Uh, which reminds me--
- Here we go, sarge.
No need to say thanks. Anytime.
How courteous
of you and Baker, uh
not to disrupt briefing
as usual by walking in late.
Am I to conclude that
you're not going to be walking
in at all from now on?
Uh, yeah, well, uh, look.
We ran into a little
emergency on the way in
and, uh, you'll hear all
about it, sarge.
- I'll tell ya.
- I'm sure I will.
[typewriter clacking]
[phone rings]
Hey, listen.
You gotta do me a favor, sarge.
I'm busy Frank.
Can't you see that?
You gotta set me up
with Miss E-Z ON--
What? Set you up?
[laughs]
Yeah, a date, sarge.
Look, have I ever asked
for personal favors
before, huh, sarge?
It's your old pal.
Look, she's single, right?
Please tell me she's single.
Yeah, Janey's single,
Frank. But, uh..
I knew it!
She's single,
and I'm single.
Oh, it's a match
made in heaven, sarge.
Look, Frank,
take my word for it.
She's not the one for you.
- She's--
- I know. I know.
Personal business
on off-duty hours.
Sure, I'll be glad to talk
to you about it later.
Ah, but right now..
...I'm going out there
I'm gonna catch
every violator in the city.
Anything. Anything for the good
of the department.
And for the best commanding
officer in the CHP.
Right, Frank.
- Hey, you see Getraer?
- Did I ever!
Hey, we got Joe all wrong.
He's really a good dude.
He's gonna set me up
with Miss E-Z ON.
And her name's..
[whispers]
...Janey.
You mean Getraer
said he'd do that?
[Ponch]
'Yeah.'
- You're kidding me.
- Me, kid you?
Hey, really?
Well, not exactly.
I mean, not yet.
- But he will.
- Oh. Mm-hm.
Come on, partner.
We gotta hit the bricks.
'I gotta make some
points for Getraer.'
Does Getraer know
what he's doing?
You got me.
Whoo!
[instrumental music]
You know, maybe I know that guy
from the beach yesterday.
The one with the baseball bat.
No way, he got
30 days for assault.
He's still in the slammer.
Oh, yeah, right.
I don't know.
I know that face from somewhere.
Hey, this thing seems
to be really bugging you, huh?
Yeah, a little bit.
I mean, no one's called me
"J.B." since high school.
Did you check
the arrest report for his name?
I haven't had a chance
to talk to Baricza yet.
Well, listen,
just take it easy, okay?
Let your subconscious
work on it.
Meanwhile, we have got to
do a righteous job today
so Getraer will set me up
with Miss E-Z ON.
We? Where are you getting
this "we" stuff all the time?
Hey, old buddy.
Maybe she's got a sister.
Thank you.
[laughs]
[male #1]
'Let me ask you a question.'
'Are you aware what happened?'
Are you aware you that
you had trucks in back of you?
Then, why did you
slam down on the brake?
What's the matter
with you, lady?
There's nothing
the matter with me.
Oh, this conversation
is pointless.
A caravan like that should
not be allowed on city streets.
'And you were speeding..'
[animal groans]
Hey, the Janus Shows. I heard
they were coming to town.
Yeah, pretty lousy debut.
[honking]
Axle's busted.
Won't be able to move it over
to the side, that's for sure.
Uh, hey, Ponch.
Why don't you, uh,
check this traffic out?
I'll see what these
people are doing.
[male #1]
'Answer the question.'
'Are you aware that
there were six trucks'
'riding right back at you?'
[female #1]
'They were speeding.'
Speeding? Fifteen miles an hour.
You call that speeding?
Let me tell you something--
No. Let me tell you.
I'm not standing
here any longer
and taking your rude tirade.
You listen to me..
Oh, officer.
The officer is here.
He'll take care of everything.
[chuckles]
You know how these women are.
Let's step over here
and continue the debate, okay?
Continue the debate here.
- Let's get this cleared up.
- The law.
Now justice will be done.
The only justice
that you'll see today
is when they take
your license away.
How dare you?
You'll hear from
my insurance company.
Are you kidding?
Look at this.
We were suppose to be down
at the fairground an hour ago.
How are they gonna start
the opening-day parade
without the star attraction?
- Star attraction?
- M-my baby, Effie.
Effie. Oh, my. Come here.
Follow me, officer. Come here.
[thumping]
Effie, wait a minute!
I'm coming, dear!
Wait a minute!
[thumping]
Whoa!
Excuse me.
I knew that's what
was gonna happen.
That's what I was afraid.
Effie is upset!
Who-who is Effie?
Oh, God. That's it.
Come on. Atta girl.
Come on. Come on
Someone get Effie's stand.
Come on. Hey, hey.
Hey, hey. Atta girl.
Hey, it won't run
into the crowd, will it?
No, all she need is exercise.
She's been cooped up
in the wagon too long.
And, uh, officer,
Effie is a-a she, not an it.
Well, does she listen to you?
Ah-ha! The best-trained
elephant in the whole world.
Hey, watch this.
Come on, over here. Over here.
Come on. Come on.
What a babe. Alright.
I'll call it in, Ponch.
Hey, Effie. Come on, baby.
Come on, sweetheart. Come on.
Chug, chug.
Up, up, up. Come on.
Effie, up, up. Atta girl.
[cheering]
Atta girl, come on. Atta girl.
The dispatch said
it'd take 20 minutes
before a tow truck
could get here.
Yeah, well,
it doesn't matter, anyway.
Nobody's in a hurry.
Okay, up. Chug.
[trumpets]
Hey, Effie's doing our job, huh?
Yeah, some, uh,
crowd control, huh?
Really, if only Effie
could tow a truck.
- Tow a truck?
- Yeah.
Hey.
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking, huh?
[Effie trumpets]
[truck starts]
Okay, Emilio.
That's it. Slowly, that's it.
We got it.
Okay, baby. Good, Effie.
[Emilio]
Good, baby. Good. Ha-ha-ha!
Hey, how's that, huh?
Very good.
[instrumental music]
Hey, when do
the dancing bears come on?
Uh, you missed
the main event, Bar.
You two really pick 'em.
- Anything I can do to help?
- Oh, no. No, thanks.
Uh, Effie's got
everything under control.
Nice. It's better
than a tow unit.
Yeah, and a little faster too.
Oh, uh, by the way, Jon
your old teammate's gonna
make bail in about an hour.
What do you mean,
my old teammate?
You know, the 211 biker
you and Ponch came down on?
Leo Norrison.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Leo Norrison of high school.
He mentioned something
about high school.
That he was the Joe Namath
of your football team.
Yeah, he wasn't joking.
That guy was really good.
The guy I stopped
yesterday, I mean
no way that was
the Leo Norrison I used to know.
He isn't gonna go steal from..
I don't think he'd steal
from people. Huh.
I'll take the point.
- Hey, Bar, uh, thanks a lot.
- Sure.
[woman on police radio
talking indistinctly]
You, uh, hey, you really
knew this Norrison, huh?
Yeah. On the grid.
I mean I played
a lot of ball with him.
He was a year ahead of me, but..
...that guy was really good.
Hey, I used to play football.
What?
[sighs]
Yeah.
Okay, Effie.
Hey, look at this.
Effie, come on.
Let's give a nice
goodbye standup
for the nice policemen, huh?
[Emilio]
'Atta girl, come on.'
Up, up, up, up, up.
[metal crunches]
[Baker]
'Hey, Bar.'
[air hissing from tire]
[trumpets]
[Baker]
'Hey, Ponch,
easy with that stuff, huh?'
'You already look like
you've been sleeping'
with your head
in a microwave oven.
Listen, it makes me feel
closer to Janey. You mind?
I wouldn't get too
wrapped up over that girl.
I mean, you know
how blind dates are.
Come on, Jon.
It's not a blind date.
Look.
That's Janey.
Okay, Ponch, we got one.
[revving]
[revving continues]
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Is that what it is?
[both chuckle]
I'm sorry but we paced you
at, 87 miles per hour.
May I see your driver's license
and registration, please?
Well, that's impossible,
because I was watchin' it.
Hey, what is this box for?
[male #2]
'Well, offhand, I'd say that
that is a $500 nothing.'
'It's suppose to monitor,
uh, radar waves.'
You mean, you spent $500
to, uh, ward off radar?
Well, that ain't all I got.
Let me show you
something else up here.
[Baker]
'Uh, to ward off radar, right?'
[male #2]
Right.
Now, let me show you
something else over here.
You'll love this.
Now, that is a thing
of beauty, ain't it, huh?
Uh, that's radar too, right?
Oh, yeah, right.
I mean I've to have
some way to, you know
have an even chance
with you guys, don't I?
[Baker]
'Listen, uh, Mr. York,
I'm sure that stuff's effective'
but the California Highway
Patrol really doesn't use radar.
You, uh..
You-you-you don't use
any radar?
You don't-you don't
use radar, huh?
[both chuckle]
Oh, boy.
[music continues]
Hey, Jon. You sure you
wanna go through with this?
Ponch, come on, he was
a teammate of mine, alright?
We've all had high school
buddies who've taken dives.
I just want to do
something for the guy.
Okay, okay.
What do you say there, Leo?
How are you doing there, J.B.?
I don't expect you
to be down here.
Yeah, I thought maybe
I could help out, you know.
Maybe find out, what happened to
the guy most likely to succeed.
What's that supposed to mean?
It's not suppose
to mean anything.
[scoffs]
Oh, yeah.
You just come here to call me
a loser and improve your image.
- Hey, Leo, uh--
- Lighten up, Norrison.
You know, he didn't have to come
down to see you. You know that?
Hey, Ponch, back off, okay?
I'll handle it alone.
Yeah, you ought to
take it easy, C.H.I.P.
or you're liable
to get your shirt dirty again.
Hey, Ponch, I'll handle it!
Okay?
- Uh, listen, I--
- I gotta catch a bus, huh.
What do you mean,
they didn't release your bike?
Ha. I gotta go downtown
and get it outta hock.
I had to put up
something to make bail.
Come on, Leo.
I mean, what's with you, huh?
Stealing a watch.
A purse here and there.
What's the deal, huh?
Guy's gotta make
a living, don't he?
You call that
making a living?
Come on, that's low tide, I mean
especially from a guy like you.
Hey, what do you
really know about me?
It's been four years, man.
I just know
you had promise, man.
You're supposed
to succeed, right?
And, uh, just between you and I
everybody in that school
used to think that
that you were the guy
to look up to.
Well, that was back then.
Some people get the breaks
and some don't.
Now, what's that
suppose to mean?
That means that I didn't go
to college on that scholarship.
I didn't even pass
the entrance exam.
Everybody thought I was off
at school. I was in the Army.
Instead of getting a diploma,
I got a dishonorable discharge.
I hit an officer.
- A captain.
- Well, where's your head at?
- What are you trying--?
- He pushed me, you know?
He made me do things I didn't
want to, nobody does that to me.
Nobody.
Hey, I used to be a real
leader in high school.2
You remember that, J.B.?
Yeah, I remember.
They don't hire leaders
with dishonorables.
Now, so, uh, in the meantime,
you just kinda buzz in
and steal a purse here,
a gold watch--
Hey, I take from those
that got it. And I need it.
Oh, of course, man.
You're Robin Hood, right?
Sure, you know what you need?
You know what you
really need is a job.
Oh, no. I can't cut
it in those tracks.
The grooves are too deep, man.
Yeah.
Well, uh, you know where
to find me, right?
Besides, I think I make a better
deal than the, uh, judge.
J.B.?
[Baker]
'Yeah?'
See you around, huh?
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
Well, is he the Leo
you used to know?
Uh, I think maybe
he's a question mark.
[clanking]
[female #2]
'Ah, my crazy grandson.'
'He gets himself arrested.'
'I have to come down
on a hot day.'
'Why me, oh, Lord?
Shirley Abel.'
What did I do to deserve this?
What?
Why me, oh, Lord?
Shirley Abel.
'What have I ever done
to deserve this?'
Excuse, ma'am.
Could we call the auto club?
Could he call the auto club?
Is it my business
he calls the auto club?
It's none of my business
you call the auto club.
I'm not a member
of the auto club.
Well-well, maybe we could--
What are you,
a shill for the auto club?
They ride around all day
plugging the auto club.
They ride around all day
plugging the auto club.
Uh, lady, we're just
trying to help you.
'Oh! Now they tell me
they're trying to help.'
Why didn't you think of that
before you arrested my grandson
and made me come
down here on a hot day
and-and pick him up
in this crazy car? Agh!
Lady, we're not resp..
[sighs]
Well, if she feels that way
about it, let's go.
Hey, we can't just
leave her here. I mean..
Uh, what's it gonna look like?
Hey, not as bad as it looks
just standing here watching her.
[grunting]
Excuse me, could you
do us a favor and let--?
Oh, favors,
now they're asking.
You think I haven't
changed a tire, huh?
I've changed thousands of tires.
I'm sure you have, ma'am, but--
How would you know?
Besides, who asked you?
[grunts]
It doesn't fit.
Uh, ma'am, that's a lock lug.
Uh, you're gonna need a key.
A what?
[Ponch]
'A lock lug, you understand?'
Certainly, I understand.
It needs a key.
Alright, here.
Excuse me, ma'am.
That's the ignition key.
He knows everything.
You're such a know-it-all?
Do it yourself.
Ugh.
Thank you, ma'am.
[Baker]
There we go.
Okay, Ponch.
Hey, careful. Careful.
Haste makes waste, young man.
Did-didn't anyone
ever tell you that?
Nobody ever told him that.
[Baker]
'Okay, Ponch, that's enough.'
Get 'em on straight.
You don't get 'em on straight
the wheel could fall off.
You hear me?
Does he hear?
Does he hear?
Yes, he does.
Yes, he does.
[Baker grunting]
- Okay, Ponch.
- Okay.
Okay, that does it.
[tire pops]
[air hissing]
All done, huh?
Let me tell you
something, you guys.
You're just starting.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[instrumental music]
[Baricza]
'Yeah, an elephant
sat on my car.'
[Getraer]
'Hold it. Hold it.
Wait a minute.'
A-Are you telling me
an elephant sat on that car?
Yeah, sarge. He did.
They were there. Tell him, guys.
- Tell him about the elephant.
- Oh, come on, Bar.
You can't expect the sergeant
to believe that story.
[phone rings]
Hey, hey, come on, guys.
Give me a break.
Hey, even I could've come up
with a better one than that.
Yeah, Baricza. Uh, you're gonna
have to do a better than that.
Yeah, I mean, you gotta be
more original. Come on.
Look, uh, why don't you try
putting it in writing, huh?
And come to the point
in the first 10 pages, hm?
Oh, yeah.
Uh, how's the world treating
my favorite sergeant, sarge?
Oh, I can't complain, Frank.
What can I do for you?
Um, did you do any thinking
about our little proposal? Hm?
Oh, y-you mean Janey.
Yeah, I've been doing
some thinking about it, Frank.
And, uh, I still think she's not
quite right for you, but uh--
- Hey..
- You know, what the heck.
I was single once myself, right?
You were? I mean..
[chuckles]
I mean, of course
you were. Sure.
Yeah, yeah. I gave, uh,
I gave Janey a call.
Uh, she lives with her father.
And she's, uh,
agreed to, uh, you know
get together with you
tomorrow night.
[chuckles]
Sarge, you've made me a happy
man. I don't know what to say.
Wait. You wanna
prove it to me, Frank?
Yeah, sure, how?
Go out and do a righteous job
on the freeway today, huh?
- Oh, you got it.
- Okay. Heh, heh, heh.
Come on, you heard the man.
Jonathan, let's go.
What's this "Jonathan"?
Hey, is something
going on here?
No.
Uh, never mind.
I don't wanna know.
[revving]
What is this,
the Ontario Speedway?
Yeah, this is the first time
anyone tried to smoke us out.
[laughing]
Oh, no.
- What's the matter, Jay?
- Chippies.
One more ticket, they're gonna
cancel my old man's insurance.
He's gonna take it outta
my hide, Sandy.
[Jay]
'Hang tight, everybody.'
[all]
'Yeah. Ya-hoo!'
[revving]
[tires screech]
[honking]
[car door shuts]
[tires screech]
Everybody okay here?
[all]
'Yeah.'
- Come on, let's step out.
- Come on. Get out.
That was some trip
you took us on, Jay.
[female #3]
'Next time, we'll take a bus.'
'Now what'll your old man do?'
[Jay]
Aw, shut up!
Well, if you Chippies
hadn't come up on me
from behind like that, then
none of this would've happened.
Hey, come on. Why don't
you tell it like it is, man?
You almost broke
the sound barrier.
And you were creating a traffic
hazard with this smoke bomb.
Let me see your driver's license
and registration, please.
- Sure you're okay?
- God.
And why don't you, uh
turn off the engine?
Oh, man.
[knocking]
Jon.
Is somebody back there?
Lance and Paula.
Oh, man, there wasn't
any more room up front.
I mean, we were just
foolin' around.
Come on, open it right now.
It probably jammed
when you had the accident.
The back seat. Come on.
[honking]
Pull, Ponch. Pull it.
[grunting]
[grunting continues]
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
Fritz, call the paramedics now!
They're asphyxiated.
Right away. I'll get an ETA.
[coughs]
Go on, take deep breaths.
Alright. No, no. Stay down.
Just breathe.
Yeah, she's
coming around, Ponch.
Are they gonna be alright?
Yeah, I think so.
Hey, I don't like lectures,
so I'll keep this short.
That was a stupid stunt.
[siren wailing]
You stay calm, okay?
You're gonna be alright.
Yeah, that's the way.
Just breathe deep.
[instrumental music]
See you later, Fritz.
Well, I guess that's a wrap
for us, Ponch.
Uh, ha-ha, not quite.
Take a look.
[revving]
[screams]
[woman screaming]
[siren wailing]
[revving]
[tires screech]
[siren wailing]
[wailing continues]
[revving]
[revving]
[groans]
Looks like you made the deal
with the judge instead of me
huh, Leo?
Why don't you give it up, J.B.?
You're just wastin' your time.
You know what?
You never even gave me time.
All you've to do
was give me a call--
What's the difference?
You know what your
problem is, J.B.?
You let your optimism
run away with you.
We just ain't playing
on the same team anymore.
You got that one right.
So let's go check out
your new uniform, huh?
[dramatic music]
[dog barks]
[doorbell rings]
Oh, hi, come on in.
You must be Officer Poncherello.
I'm Janey's father.
Hi. Ponch.
Everybody calls me Ponch, sir.
Alright. Alright, Ponch.
Come on in.
Uh, have an hors d'oeuvre, uh,
cocktail, whatever you like.
Sarge, what are you doing here?
Oh, well, I just thought
I'd, uh, drop by, Frank.
Make the proper introductions.
Hey, that's real
nice of you. Thank you.
Hey, look.
A-Anytime. Anytime.
- I'll call Janey, alright?
- Okay.
'Janey, honey?
Come on in, sweetheart.'
Your young man's here.
Hi.
So you're a friend
of Uncle Joe's.
Another real-life
highway patrolman.
[chuckles]
You're putting me on.
This has gotta be
Janey's kid sister, huh?
Oh, no, no.
Janey's an only child, Frank.
I think she photographs, uh,
older that she is, don't you?
Did you see me
on the billboards?
I'm gonna do
a TV commercial next week.
[chuckles]
How old are you?
Fifteen on my next birthday.
Fifteen, huh?
- Hi, Ponch.
- Hi, Ponch.
- Howdy, Ponch.
- Hey, hey.
Uh, I just found out
an hour ago.
[theme music]
[music continues]
[dramatic music]
[revving]
[music continues]
[revving continues]
Aw, come on, Ponch.
We're gonna be late again.
Would you hurry up?
[sighs]
Hey, Ponch!
Briefing's in 30 minutes!
If we're late again--
[Ponch]
'Hang on, partner.'
'We'll make it
with time to spare.'
Besides, we haven't
been late in three days.
- Good morning, partner.
- Good morning.
And you know, Getraer doesn't
'give out gold stars for that.'
Hey, old buddy,
anything is possible
when you got
good karma like me.
Good karma?
Yeah, I'm a Scorpio, old buddy.
[Baker]
'So?'
So the moon's
in Saturn right now.
Oh, and that
gives you good karma?
[Ponch]
'You got it.'
Yeah, well, we better hurry up
because, uh, Getraer doesn't
give out late passes
no matter where your
moon is or what it's in.
[revving]
[dramatic music]
[revving]
[music continues]
Hey!
[indistinct chatter]
[dramatic music]
My watch! My wallet! Hey!
[revving]
[dramatic music]
Come back here! Come back!
Come back here!
[instrumental music]
Miss E-Z ON again, huh?
Yeah, that's what I call
starting the day off right.
Yeah, well, you two
better quit meeting like this
or you're gonna end up kissing
the back door of an 18-wheeler.
Well, sometimes I think
it'd be worth it, partner.
Look at her.
She's a work of art.
[dramatic music]
[revving]
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[tires screech]
Hey, mister,
what's the matter with you?
[gasping]
This-this guy came along
and-and he ripped
my watch right off my wrist.
And-and then he went
inside my pocket
and-and took out my wallet.
Hey, try and calm yourself.
Now who are you talking about?
This-this crazy, bearded guy
on-on-on-on-on
a wild motorcycle.
I-i-if you hurry,
y-y-you can catch him.
Okay. In the meantime,
why don't you pull your car
over to the shoulder,
and, uh, we'll be back
in a minute
or send another unit.
[revving]
Thanks.
[revving]
[dramatic music]
Uh, excuse me, miss.
Have a light, please?
[dramatic music]
- Thank you.
- What are you do..?
What are you doing?
Come back here!
Give me back my purse!
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[Ponch]
There he is.
LA 15, 7 Mary 3 and 4 in
pursuit of possible 211 suspect
'headed south
on Riverside off of 5.'
[siren wailing]
[revving]
[tires screech]
[siren wailing]
[grunting]
End of the road, hot dog.
LA 15, 7 Mary 3 and 4,
pursuit is code 4.
A 7 Adam is en route.
Alright, where's the loot?
You ain't gonna find
nothing on me, pig.
Hey, do me a favor.
Save the compliments
for the judge.
Nothing on him, Baker.
Hey, the bike's clean.
He must have ditched everything.
Not bad, dude.
You learned that before
or after reform school?
Yeah, I don't have
to rap with you.
I wanna talk to my lawyer.
Oh, yeah.
We don't wanna do anything
to infringe on your
rights, do we, now?
Good goin' there, guys.
That's some real nice
riding there, J.B.
You drive a mean machine.
What? I bust you
before or something?
Give it some time.
It'll come to you.
Oh, you're gonna have
plenty of that, buddy.
- Book him, Bar, 2-11.
- Right, Ponch.
Hey, you know him?
Yeah. I, uh..
I don't know.
I know the face--
Ah, he probably just
read your nameplate.
Yeah, maybe that's it.
Hey, Jon.
[instrumental music]
[sighs]
Ah.
Ponch, come on.
It's just a picture.
Yeah, but, what a view.
Makes me wanna take
the day off and go to the beach.
Yeah, well, uh, I have a feeling
you better invite Getraer
'cause I think
he wants to see ya today.
[theme music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
You know, that guy on the bike
really messed my shirt up.
Hey, you remember
that gang fight
under the San Berdoo,
uh, last month?
[Ponch]
'Uh-huh.'
I wonder if that dude
was one of their leaders.
Nah, both of them
were under 6 feet.
Hey, why don't you forget it?
The 211 was just probably trying
to psyche you out, you know?
[woman on police radio
speaking indistinctly]
Yeah. I guess you're right.
Sure, I'm right. It happens
all the time, partner.
Oh, brother. Come on.
Hey, Miss E-Z ON.
There's the big Gross
and little Fritz.
Hope you brought notes
from your mamas
'cause you guys, uh,
missed homeroom today
and Getraer's carrying
a very big stick.
Ah, maybe we ought to avoid
Getraer altogether today, Ponch
and just go on patrol.
Yeah. Let's go on the beach.
You too, huh, Ponch?
[Ponch]
'Huh?'
The whole world's
in love with Miss E-Z ON.
Yeah. Too bad she
isn't real, you know?
She's real enough
to the Getraer's.
Wait a minute.
What are you talking about?
The chick.
The model. Miss E-Z ON.
She's a friend of the Getraer's
family or something.
You're kidding.
You wouldn't be putting
me on, would you, Art?
Me, kid you?
No, why would I?
[Ponch]
No, no, no, allow me.
For my favorite sergeant.
Cream or sugar?
Uh, I usually take
my hot chocolate black, Frank.
Uh, well, hey, coffee will keep
you from falling asleep, sarge.
Well, I sincerely
hope so, Frank.
It's only, uh,
9:30 in the morning.
- Uh, which reminds me--
- Here we go, sarge.
No need to say thanks. Anytime.
How courteous
of you and Baker, uh
not to disrupt briefing
as usual by walking in late.
Am I to conclude that
you're not going to be walking
in at all from now on?
Uh, yeah, well, uh, look.
We ran into a little
emergency on the way in
and, uh, you'll hear all
about it, sarge.
- I'll tell ya.
- I'm sure I will.
[typewriter clacking]
[phone rings]
Hey, listen.
You gotta do me a favor, sarge.
I'm busy Frank.
Can't you see that?
You gotta set me up
with Miss E-Z ON--
What? Set you up?
[laughs]
Yeah, a date, sarge.
Look, have I ever asked
for personal favors
before, huh, sarge?
It's your old pal.
Look, she's single, right?
Please tell me she's single.
Yeah, Janey's single,
Frank. But, uh..
I knew it!
She's single,
and I'm single.
Oh, it's a match
made in heaven, sarge.
Look, Frank,
take my word for it.
She's not the one for you.
- She's--
- I know. I know.
Personal business
on off-duty hours.
Sure, I'll be glad to talk
to you about it later.
Ah, but right now..
...I'm going out there
I'm gonna catch
every violator in the city.
Anything. Anything for the good
of the department.
And for the best commanding
officer in the CHP.
Right, Frank.
- Hey, you see Getraer?
- Did I ever!
Hey, we got Joe all wrong.
He's really a good dude.
He's gonna set me up
with Miss E-Z ON.
And her name's..
[whispers]
...Janey.
You mean Getraer
said he'd do that?
[Ponch]
'Yeah.'
- You're kidding me.
- Me, kid you?
Hey, really?
Well, not exactly.
I mean, not yet.
- But he will.
- Oh. Mm-hm.
Come on, partner.
We gotta hit the bricks.
'I gotta make some
points for Getraer.'
Does Getraer know
what he's doing?
You got me.
Whoo!
[instrumental music]
You know, maybe I know that guy
from the beach yesterday.
The one with the baseball bat.
No way, he got
30 days for assault.
He's still in the slammer.
Oh, yeah, right.
I don't know.
I know that face from somewhere.
Hey, this thing seems
to be really bugging you, huh?
Yeah, a little bit.
I mean, no one's called me
"J.B." since high school.
Did you check
the arrest report for his name?
I haven't had a chance
to talk to Baricza yet.
Well, listen,
just take it easy, okay?
Let your subconscious
work on it.
Meanwhile, we have got to
do a righteous job today
so Getraer will set me up
with Miss E-Z ON.
We? Where are you getting
this "we" stuff all the time?
Hey, old buddy.
Maybe she's got a sister.
Thank you.
[laughs]
[male #1]
'Let me ask you a question.'
'Are you aware what happened?'
Are you aware you that
you had trucks in back of you?
Then, why did you
slam down on the brake?
What's the matter
with you, lady?
There's nothing
the matter with me.
Oh, this conversation
is pointless.
A caravan like that should
not be allowed on city streets.
'And you were speeding..'
[animal groans]
Hey, the Janus Shows. I heard
they were coming to town.
Yeah, pretty lousy debut.
[honking]
Axle's busted.
Won't be able to move it over
to the side, that's for sure.
Uh, hey, Ponch.
Why don't you, uh,
check this traffic out?
I'll see what these
people are doing.
[male #1]
'Answer the question.'
'Are you aware that
there were six trucks'
'riding right back at you?'
[female #1]
'They were speeding.'
Speeding? Fifteen miles an hour.
You call that speeding?
Let me tell you something--
No. Let me tell you.
I'm not standing
here any longer
and taking your rude tirade.
You listen to me..
Oh, officer.
The officer is here.
He'll take care of everything.
[chuckles]
You know how these women are.
Let's step over here
and continue the debate, okay?
Continue the debate here.
- Let's get this cleared up.
- The law.
Now justice will be done.
The only justice
that you'll see today
is when they take
your license away.
How dare you?
You'll hear from
my insurance company.
Are you kidding?
Look at this.
We were suppose to be down
at the fairground an hour ago.
How are they gonna start
the opening-day parade
without the star attraction?
- Star attraction?
- M-my baby, Effie.
Effie. Oh, my. Come here.
Follow me, officer. Come here.
[thumping]
Effie, wait a minute!
I'm coming, dear!
Wait a minute!
[thumping]
Whoa!
Excuse me.
I knew that's what
was gonna happen.
That's what I was afraid.
Effie is upset!
Who-who is Effie?
Oh, God. That's it.
Come on. Atta girl.
Come on. Come on
Someone get Effie's stand.
Come on. Hey, hey.
Hey, hey. Atta girl.
Hey, it won't run
into the crowd, will it?
No, all she need is exercise.
She's been cooped up
in the wagon too long.
And, uh, officer,
Effie is a-a she, not an it.
Well, does she listen to you?
Ah-ha! The best-trained
elephant in the whole world.
Hey, watch this.
Come on, over here. Over here.
Come on. Come on.
What a babe. Alright.
I'll call it in, Ponch.
Hey, Effie. Come on, baby.
Come on, sweetheart. Come on.
Chug, chug.
Up, up, up. Come on.
Effie, up, up. Atta girl.
[cheering]
Atta girl, come on. Atta girl.
The dispatch said
it'd take 20 minutes
before a tow truck
could get here.
Yeah, well,
it doesn't matter, anyway.
Nobody's in a hurry.
Okay, up. Chug.
[trumpets]
Hey, Effie's doing our job, huh?
Yeah, some, uh,
crowd control, huh?
Really, if only Effie
could tow a truck.
- Tow a truck?
- Yeah.
Hey.
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking, huh?
[Effie trumpets]
[truck starts]
Okay, Emilio.
That's it. Slowly, that's it.
We got it.
Okay, baby. Good, Effie.
[Emilio]
Good, baby. Good. Ha-ha-ha!
Hey, how's that, huh?
Very good.
[instrumental music]
Hey, when do
the dancing bears come on?
Uh, you missed
the main event, Bar.
You two really pick 'em.
- Anything I can do to help?
- Oh, no. No, thanks.
Uh, Effie's got
everything under control.
Nice. It's better
than a tow unit.
Yeah, and a little faster too.
Oh, uh, by the way, Jon
your old teammate's gonna
make bail in about an hour.
What do you mean,
my old teammate?
You know, the 211 biker
you and Ponch came down on?
Leo Norrison.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Leo Norrison of high school.
He mentioned something
about high school.
That he was the Joe Namath
of your football team.
Yeah, he wasn't joking.
That guy was really good.
The guy I stopped
yesterday, I mean
no way that was
the Leo Norrison I used to know.
He isn't gonna go steal from..
I don't think he'd steal
from people. Huh.
I'll take the point.
- Hey, Bar, uh, thanks a lot.
- Sure.
[woman on police radio
talking indistinctly]
You, uh, hey, you really
knew this Norrison, huh?
Yeah. On the grid.
I mean I played
a lot of ball with him.
He was a year ahead of me, but..
...that guy was really good.
Hey, I used to play football.
What?
[sighs]
Yeah.
Okay, Effie.
Hey, look at this.
Effie, come on.
Let's give a nice
goodbye standup
for the nice policemen, huh?
[Emilio]
'Atta girl, come on.'
Up, up, up, up, up.
[metal crunches]
[Baker]
'Hey, Bar.'
[air hissing from tire]
[trumpets]
[Baker]
'Hey, Ponch,
easy with that stuff, huh?'
'You already look like
you've been sleeping'
with your head
in a microwave oven.
Listen, it makes me feel
closer to Janey. You mind?
I wouldn't get too
wrapped up over that girl.
I mean, you know
how blind dates are.
Come on, Jon.
It's not a blind date.
Look.
That's Janey.
Okay, Ponch, we got one.
[revving]
[revving continues]
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Is that what it is?
[both chuckle]
I'm sorry but we paced you
at, 87 miles per hour.
May I see your driver's license
and registration, please?
Well, that's impossible,
because I was watchin' it.
Hey, what is this box for?
[male #2]
'Well, offhand, I'd say that
that is a $500 nothing.'
'It's suppose to monitor,
uh, radar waves.'
You mean, you spent $500
to, uh, ward off radar?
Well, that ain't all I got.
Let me show you
something else up here.
[Baker]
'Uh, to ward off radar, right?'
[male #2]
Right.
Now, let me show you
something else over here.
You'll love this.
Now, that is a thing
of beauty, ain't it, huh?
Uh, that's radar too, right?
Oh, yeah, right.
I mean I've to have
some way to, you know
have an even chance
with you guys, don't I?
[Baker]
'Listen, uh, Mr. York,
I'm sure that stuff's effective'
but the California Highway
Patrol really doesn't use radar.
You, uh..
You-you-you don't use
any radar?
You don't-you don't
use radar, huh?
[both chuckle]
Oh, boy.
[music continues]
Hey, Jon. You sure you
wanna go through with this?
Ponch, come on, he was
a teammate of mine, alright?
We've all had high school
buddies who've taken dives.
I just want to do
something for the guy.
Okay, okay.
What do you say there, Leo?
How are you doing there, J.B.?
I don't expect you
to be down here.
Yeah, I thought maybe
I could help out, you know.
Maybe find out, what happened to
the guy most likely to succeed.
What's that supposed to mean?
It's not suppose
to mean anything.
[scoffs]
Oh, yeah.
You just come here to call me
a loser and improve your image.
- Hey, Leo, uh--
- Lighten up, Norrison.
You know, he didn't have to come
down to see you. You know that?
Hey, Ponch, back off, okay?
I'll handle it alone.
Yeah, you ought to
take it easy, C.H.I.P.
or you're liable
to get your shirt dirty again.
Hey, Ponch, I'll handle it!
Okay?
- Uh, listen, I--
- I gotta catch a bus, huh.
What do you mean,
they didn't release your bike?
Ha. I gotta go downtown
and get it outta hock.
I had to put up
something to make bail.
Come on, Leo.
I mean, what's with you, huh?
Stealing a watch.
A purse here and there.
What's the deal, huh?
Guy's gotta make
a living, don't he?
You call that
making a living?
Come on, that's low tide, I mean
especially from a guy like you.
Hey, what do you
really know about me?
It's been four years, man.
I just know
you had promise, man.
You're supposed
to succeed, right?
And, uh, just between you and I
everybody in that school
used to think that
that you were the guy
to look up to.
Well, that was back then.
Some people get the breaks
and some don't.
Now, what's that
suppose to mean?
That means that I didn't go
to college on that scholarship.
I didn't even pass
the entrance exam.
Everybody thought I was off
at school. I was in the Army.
Instead of getting a diploma,
I got a dishonorable discharge.
I hit an officer.
- A captain.
- Well, where's your head at?
- What are you trying--?
- He pushed me, you know?
He made me do things I didn't
want to, nobody does that to me.
Nobody.
Hey, I used to be a real
leader in high school.2
You remember that, J.B.?
Yeah, I remember.
They don't hire leaders
with dishonorables.
Now, so, uh, in the meantime,
you just kinda buzz in
and steal a purse here,
a gold watch--
Hey, I take from those
that got it. And I need it.
Oh, of course, man.
You're Robin Hood, right?
Sure, you know what you need?
You know what you
really need is a job.
Oh, no. I can't cut
it in those tracks.
The grooves are too deep, man.
Yeah.
Well, uh, you know where
to find me, right?
Besides, I think I make a better
deal than the, uh, judge.
J.B.?
[Baker]
'Yeah?'
See you around, huh?
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
Well, is he the Leo
you used to know?
Uh, I think maybe
he's a question mark.
[clanking]
[female #2]
'Ah, my crazy grandson.'
'He gets himself arrested.'
'I have to come down
on a hot day.'
'Why me, oh, Lord?
Shirley Abel.'
What did I do to deserve this?
What?
Why me, oh, Lord?
Shirley Abel.
'What have I ever done
to deserve this?'
Excuse, ma'am.
Could we call the auto club?
Could he call the auto club?
Is it my business
he calls the auto club?
It's none of my business
you call the auto club.
I'm not a member
of the auto club.
Well-well, maybe we could--
What are you,
a shill for the auto club?
They ride around all day
plugging the auto club.
They ride around all day
plugging the auto club.
Uh, lady, we're just
trying to help you.
'Oh! Now they tell me
they're trying to help.'
Why didn't you think of that
before you arrested my grandson
and made me come
down here on a hot day
and-and pick him up
in this crazy car? Agh!
Lady, we're not resp..
[sighs]
Well, if she feels that way
about it, let's go.
Hey, we can't just
leave her here. I mean..
Uh, what's it gonna look like?
Hey, not as bad as it looks
just standing here watching her.
[grunting]
Excuse me, could you
do us a favor and let--?
Oh, favors,
now they're asking.
You think I haven't
changed a tire, huh?
I've changed thousands of tires.
I'm sure you have, ma'am, but--
How would you know?
Besides, who asked you?
[grunts]
It doesn't fit.
Uh, ma'am, that's a lock lug.
Uh, you're gonna need a key.
A what?
[Ponch]
'A lock lug, you understand?'
Certainly, I understand.
It needs a key.
Alright, here.
Excuse me, ma'am.
That's the ignition key.
He knows everything.
You're such a know-it-all?
Do it yourself.
Ugh.
Thank you, ma'am.
[Baker]
There we go.
Okay, Ponch.
Hey, careful. Careful.
Haste makes waste, young man.
Did-didn't anyone
ever tell you that?
Nobody ever told him that.
[Baker]
'Okay, Ponch, that's enough.'
Get 'em on straight.
You don't get 'em on straight
the wheel could fall off.
You hear me?
Does he hear?
Does he hear?
Yes, he does.
Yes, he does.
[Baker grunting]
- Okay, Ponch.
- Okay.
Okay, that does it.
[tire pops]
[air hissing]
All done, huh?
Let me tell you
something, you guys.
You're just starting.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[instrumental music]
[Baricza]
'Yeah, an elephant
sat on my car.'
[Getraer]
'Hold it. Hold it.
Wait a minute.'
A-Are you telling me
an elephant sat on that car?
Yeah, sarge. He did.
They were there. Tell him, guys.
- Tell him about the elephant.
- Oh, come on, Bar.
You can't expect the sergeant
to believe that story.
[phone rings]
Hey, hey, come on, guys.
Give me a break.
Hey, even I could've come up
with a better one than that.
Yeah, Baricza. Uh, you're gonna
have to do a better than that.
Yeah, I mean, you gotta be
more original. Come on.
Look, uh, why don't you try
putting it in writing, huh?
And come to the point
in the first 10 pages, hm?
Oh, yeah.
Uh, how's the world treating
my favorite sergeant, sarge?
Oh, I can't complain, Frank.
What can I do for you?
Um, did you do any thinking
about our little proposal? Hm?
Oh, y-you mean Janey.
Yeah, I've been doing
some thinking about it, Frank.
And, uh, I still think she's not
quite right for you, but uh--
- Hey..
- You know, what the heck.
I was single once myself, right?
You were? I mean..
[chuckles]
I mean, of course
you were. Sure.
Yeah, yeah. I gave, uh,
I gave Janey a call.
Uh, she lives with her father.
And she's, uh,
agreed to, uh, you know
get together with you
tomorrow night.
[chuckles]
Sarge, you've made me a happy
man. I don't know what to say.
Wait. You wanna
prove it to me, Frank?
Yeah, sure, how?
Go out and do a righteous job
on the freeway today, huh?
- Oh, you got it.
- Okay. Heh, heh, heh.
Come on, you heard the man.
Jonathan, let's go.
What's this "Jonathan"?
Hey, is something
going on here?
No.
Uh, never mind.
I don't wanna know.
[revving]
What is this,
the Ontario Speedway?
Yeah, this is the first time
anyone tried to smoke us out.
[laughing]
Oh, no.
- What's the matter, Jay?
- Chippies.
One more ticket, they're gonna
cancel my old man's insurance.
He's gonna take it outta
my hide, Sandy.
[Jay]
'Hang tight, everybody.'
[all]
'Yeah. Ya-hoo!'
[revving]
[tires screech]
[honking]
[car door shuts]
[tires screech]
Everybody okay here?
[all]
'Yeah.'
- Come on, let's step out.
- Come on. Get out.
That was some trip
you took us on, Jay.
[female #3]
'Next time, we'll take a bus.'
'Now what'll your old man do?'
[Jay]
Aw, shut up!
Well, if you Chippies
hadn't come up on me
from behind like that, then
none of this would've happened.
Hey, come on. Why don't
you tell it like it is, man?
You almost broke
the sound barrier.
And you were creating a traffic
hazard with this smoke bomb.
Let me see your driver's license
and registration, please.
- Sure you're okay?
- God.
And why don't you, uh
turn off the engine?
Oh, man.
[knocking]
Jon.
Is somebody back there?
Lance and Paula.
Oh, man, there wasn't
any more room up front.
I mean, we were just
foolin' around.
Come on, open it right now.
It probably jammed
when you had the accident.
The back seat. Come on.
[honking]
Pull, Ponch. Pull it.
[grunting]
[grunting continues]
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
Fritz, call the paramedics now!
They're asphyxiated.
Right away. I'll get an ETA.
[coughs]
Go on, take deep breaths.
Alright. No, no. Stay down.
Just breathe.
Yeah, she's
coming around, Ponch.
Are they gonna be alright?
Yeah, I think so.
Hey, I don't like lectures,
so I'll keep this short.
That was a stupid stunt.
[siren wailing]
You stay calm, okay?
You're gonna be alright.
Yeah, that's the way.
Just breathe deep.
[instrumental music]
See you later, Fritz.
Well, I guess that's a wrap
for us, Ponch.
Uh, ha-ha, not quite.
Take a look.
[revving]
[screams]
[woman screaming]
[siren wailing]
[revving]
[tires screech]
[siren wailing]
[wailing continues]
[revving]
[revving]
[groans]
Looks like you made the deal
with the judge instead of me
huh, Leo?
Why don't you give it up, J.B.?
You're just wastin' your time.
You know what?
You never even gave me time.
All you've to do
was give me a call--
What's the difference?
You know what your
problem is, J.B.?
You let your optimism
run away with you.
We just ain't playing
on the same team anymore.
You got that one right.
So let's go check out
your new uniform, huh?
[dramatic music]
[dog barks]
[doorbell rings]
Oh, hi, come on in.
You must be Officer Poncherello.
I'm Janey's father.
Hi. Ponch.
Everybody calls me Ponch, sir.
Alright. Alright, Ponch.
Come on in.
Uh, have an hors d'oeuvre, uh,
cocktail, whatever you like.
Sarge, what are you doing here?
Oh, well, I just thought
I'd, uh, drop by, Frank.
Make the proper introductions.
Hey, that's real
nice of you. Thank you.
Hey, look.
A-Anytime. Anytime.
- I'll call Janey, alright?
- Okay.
'Janey, honey?
Come on in, sweetheart.'
Your young man's here.
Hi.
So you're a friend
of Uncle Joe's.
Another real-life
highway patrolman.
[chuckles]
You're putting me on.
This has gotta be
Janey's kid sister, huh?
Oh, no, no.
Janey's an only child, Frank.
I think she photographs, uh,
older that she is, don't you?
Did you see me
on the billboards?
I'm gonna do
a TV commercial next week.
[chuckles]
How old are you?
Fifteen on my next birthday.
Fifteen, huh?
- Hi, Ponch.
- Hi, Ponch.
- Howdy, Ponch.
- Hey, hey.
Uh, I just found out
an hour ago.
