Randy is reciting the burned out car's VIN to the Captain so he can enter it into a database search]
First letter, "T" as in "tsunami".
"Tsunami"?
Silent "T".
What? No. "T" as in "Tom". Just say "Tom".
What's the difference?
It doesn't... The "T" is silent.
It's not completely silent. "T-sunami".
All right. All right. Let's go.
Second letter, "P" as in...
..."P" as in "Paul".
No.
Too late. I typed it. "P".
Yeah, but the person reading the letters gets to say the word. That's how we do it.
That's how who does it?
Society. We live in a society.
Yes, we do, Randy! Meanwhile, the "P" has been sitting on my screen for ten minutes!
Fine. "P" for "Pam". No! "Panavision". "Tsunami", "Panavision", next letter, "L".
"L".
As in... No, we'll come back to that one.
No, we can't come back to it, Randy! [The phone rings; Stottlemeyer answers] Whoever this is, thank you very much for calling.
