INSPECTOR LEE:                 (Sternly and Angrily) All of you who come in here with a bogus story will be immediately arrested for stupidity!

If you have nothing to say then I suggest, you leave now before I arrest all of you!!!

FX: Loud chatter immediately resumes after his speech, scurrying can be heard, as numerous witnesses make their way out of the waiting room. Various people shout out profanities at Lee:

CHARACTER X:                   He’s crazy! I’m not goin’ in there!

CHARACTER Y:                   Doing them a favor! This is the thanks I get!

CHARACTER Z:                    I wana be paid for coming down!
