I meant, like, you know,

this day's afternoon.

I asked out a girl
and she said yes.

- Ah, there's no
better feeling, is there?

- No better feeling.
- Well, until the day

she says, "I do."

- yeah, we got a ways to go
before that, I think.

- Great, well that'll give you
a lot of time to catch me up

on where we are
with the rival.

- Nothing substantive.
He hasn't left

any hair or skin samples
at any of his attacks

on the ccpd.
- So you're telling me

there's no way
to id this guy.

- We'll figure out who he is
when the flash stops him.

- Well the flash
better hurry up.

Pun intended.

Okay.

All right.

Has anybody seen
detective west?

- You know, I think he had to
stop by evidence.

- Uh-huh.
- I don't know
