So the foot massage place reported $7 million in profit last year. To make that much they'd have had to massage 100 feet an hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the entire year.
Damn it! We have to shut them down.
Wait. Let's not be hasty about this. Let's think this through. We wanna be smart about this.
Right. What if we bust them tonight, and then tomorrow, I'm chasing a murderer, and I'm about to get him and my foot cramps up?
Due to lack of massaging.
Then the murderer gets away!
Know who he kills next? The Mayor.
Oh, my God. The City has no mayor now.
It's chaos. Rioting, looting, panic in the streets.
They gotta call in the National Guard, there's tanks rolling down Fifth Avenue, declaring martial law!
All because we shut down a foot massage place.
That was doing God's work! What were we thinking?
So it's agreed. We let them stay open, for the sake of the city.
For the sake of the city.
[They sit for a few moments.]
We have to do our stupid jobs, don't we?
Yeah, let me get my stupid gun.
