[Disher tries to question a Living Statue performer with no success]
Excuse me. Lieutenant Disher, SFPD. You've got a pretty good view of the bank from here. We're investigating a robbery that took place earlier this morning. [The Living Statue doesn't hear him] Sir? [Pause] Sir, this is official police business. It will just take a minute. [Takes out his badge and flashes it] If you're not too busy. [Pause] Okay, I know you can hear me. Look, I just saw you blink. You blinked. [Randy tries to startle the performer in hope that he will react; the performer doesn't move a muscle] Oh I get it! [He waves a dollar bill in front of the performer, and then drops the bill into the performer's collection box] Normally, we don't pay for information! So, what time did you arrive at the park this morning, sir? [Still no response] OK, you know what, pal? I can get a crane here in 20 minutes, lift you up and drag you downtown.
[The Living Statue's alarm goes off, and he steps off his pedestal, indicating that it's his break time]
Living Statue; It's my break, man.
Well, thank you. That's more like it.
[Groans] This is my job! I mean, how would you like it if I came to your office and [Screams and waves his hand in front of Randy's face] in your face, huh? [Yells in anger again] Was I here? Yes, I was here. I've been here all day. I'm here every morning. Even Sundays.
Good. Did you see anything unusual at around 9:00?
Yeah. I, I saw a guy. About 5' 10", green hoodie. He was hanging out, pacin' around. Looked kinda nervous, and then, he went inside.
Good. Did you see his face?
He had his hood up. Sorry.
Okay. Hood up. And then what happened?
Oh, about 10 minutes later, the alarm went off. And I saw...
[His break alarm goes off, signalling the end of his break. He steps back up on his pedestal and freezes in place]
What? Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? [No response. Disher laughs for a second] No...! (x7) Don't. Don't do that. [Pause] Hey, we're not done here. What did you see?
