You see this, this is what I'm talkin' about. You see this memo from the bosses?
Which one? We get three a day.
In an effort to maintain the pristine condition of the newly renovated squadroom, all Homicide personnel are asked not to hang personal items on the wall. This includes family photos, sports paraphernalia, and bumper stickers. Staff members are also asked not to use thumbtacks or Scotch tape to affix- and I love that word affix- any papers, schedules, or menus on said walls.
Let me see that. [takes memo]
How long do you think we're gonna be able to maintain this pristine condition?
[tacks memo to wall] Not long.
This place's gonna be a dump by Christmas.
