SERGEANT An' anythin' that you say or don't say may be used in evidence against you.
HEAD (enraged)
Sergeant Dooley!
SERGEANT (coolly)
Yes, Head.
HEAD
Do you know that y'er addressin' y'er superior officer?
SERGEANT
The less said about superiority the better.
HEAD You can't deny that I found you drinkin' on these licensed premises while on duty.
SERGEANT I might as well tell you candidly that you have no more chance o' frightenin' me or desaivin' me than you have of catchin' whales in Casey's duck-pond.
HEAD (passionately)
I'll—I'll—I—
SERGEANT You'll have a drink from me, an' we'll say no more about the matter. I wouldn't blame any man for takin' a drop a cold night like this. I suppose 'twill be "Wise's" the same as the last? That's if me sense o' smell isn't out of order.
HEAD (crestfallen, blows his breath on the palm of his hand and looks at the Sergeant) Is it as bad as that?
