JP= Jake Polaski
TA: Thanks for coming in, Jake. We appreciate it, and good to see you again.
JP: Thanks, how you been?
TA: Good, and yourself?
SM: Can we just get to the interview? Please state your name and address for the record Mr. Polaski.
JP: Nice to see you too, Murphy. Jake Polaski and my address is 2120 Madison Ave.
SM: Thank you, Mr. Polaski. That chair sounds fairly strained. Do we need to get a stronger one? Or will that one hold you up?
JP: I think this one will be fine, thanks for the concern Sam.
SM: Detective Murphy will do just fine, Mr. Polaski.
TA: Jake, you've heard of the Amy Bledsoe case right?
JP: Yeah, tough deal for that kid.
SM: We heard you were hanging out at McDonald's asking about her. You stalking young girls these days, Mr. Polaski?
JP: No, I was there on a case, besides I'm still holding out for you Sam. I mean Detective Murphy.
SM: Fat chance of that happening.
TA: Could we get back to the interview here? Jake, it would help us out tremendously if you could tell us who you were working for.
JP: You know I can't do that, I could get into some trouble for that.
SM: Like that would be a first....
TA: (Clears throat) Jake, we understand, but it's just between us. We won't tell anyone.
JP: Well, I can't say a name right out, but if I MASTER my language, you should be able to find it through some good detective work. Oh, Helen... oops almost swore there. Wouldn't want to do that in front of a lady.
SM: Never stopped you before. I think we're done here aren't we, Detective Armstrong?
TA: Yes, I believe so. I understand your hesitancy to tell us the name Jake, and we respect your desire to keep your client confidentiality.
JP: No problem at all guys. Guess I better get going, before one of your rookies writes me a ticket for parking in the handicapped zone. I'll see you around, Detective Murphy.
SM: I'm sure I won't miss you.
