Nocturnal

"No, don't follow him
We don't need you to do that."

Did I hear what I just heard on that vocal record? Is that the best my hammer, anvil, and stirrup could afford? It didn't seem too muffled, or distorted by wind. Well maybe you didn't hear it. Let me play that again.

"No, don't follow him. We don't need you to do that."

Did the dispatcher not just win us that case, by telling him which way to point his face?

But you take off anyway, and go starting some trouble. Say you had to kill the kid because he started a rumble, and you still ain't even humble. 

You got away with murder. You LOVE America.
