Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer: There was an attempted mugging half a block from here tonight.

Jeff Blue: Really?

Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer: The victim got away.

Jeff Blue: Oh, good.

Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer: You don't know nothing about that?

Jeff Blue: No, I don't think so.

Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer: You match the description of the intended victim: a man with a baby stroller.

Det. Sgt. Halsey: And we got us a bag lady that says she saw the man enter this hotel.

Lt. Theodore 'Ted' Sawyer: And the desk clerk says that man was you.

Jeff Blue: Well, that certainly narrows it down, doesn't it?

Det. Sgt. Halsey: [watching as Jeff walks out to a parade of jazz musicians and borrows a trumpet to play] That's your husband.
