"myah! myah! See?!!"

Does anyone know when the police first started using tear gas?

What's wrong with having the phone sit on the desk?

This lamentation works well with a lot of things, preferably things that end with an O.

"Mother of mercy, is this the end of taco?"

Sort of Tarentinoish, isn't it? The hard-boiled jokes, the way he narrates his own death like a radio play... it's surprisingly modern. I'm going to have to see this now.
