Detective Lt. Mike Stone and Inspector Steve Keller in “Unfinished Business”

[Stone looks at the book Keller presented him as a gift] Poems? Poetry?

It's Ezra Pound. Remember Williams talking about him at the school?

Yeah, I remember. He talked to his class about him, yeah.

That's right. That's for you.

[Reading a random page] Oh, now wait a minute. I can't read this.

Why not?

Listen: "Raineth drop and staineth slop." Oh, come on now.

Wait a minute, what?

Yeah. "Raineth drop and staineth slop. Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us." Now come on. Isn't poetry supposed to be clear and to the point?

That's right.

Well, I've got something clear and to the point for you, young fella.

[Watching as Stone pulls a card from his pocket] What is this?

Sit quietly. "You have a right to remain silent." Is that clear?

That's clear.

"Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law." Is that to the point?

That's to the point.

All right, then get going!
