Officer Lou Bratley Quotes in The Chumscrubber (2005)

Officer Lou Bratley: Okay - so, now, you want to tell me about this fight at the mall?

Dean Stiffle: No. Not really, no.

Dr. Bill Stiffle: Dean, make an effort for me, please. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for all this, officer.

Officer Lou Bratley: I'm all ears.

Dr. Bill Stiffle: Dean?

Dean Stiffle: ...The guy at the mall was Billy. He and the other two forced me to steal drugs from my friend, Troy.

Officer Lou Bratley: Troy? Who's this Troy?

Dean Stiffle: Troy Johnson. He's dead.

Dr. Bill Stiffle: He committed suicide, sir.

Officer Lou Bratley: I don't understand.

Dean Stiffle: I told them no, so to force me to do it, they kidnapped my brother.

Officer Lou Bratley: Wait a minute, are you kidding me? You got a son who's kidnapped?

Dean Stiffle: No, wait a second, listen. They got the wrong kid. And they said if I didn't get the stuff from Troy, they were going to kill him.

Officer Lou Bratley: Oh, you just said Troy, who's dead.

Dr. Bill Stiffle: He is, officer. Dean...?

Dean Stiffle: So I did it, only Charlie - my little brother, Charlie, switched the drugs on me. And I wound up with a bag of my mom's Veggie Force.

Officer Lou Bratley: Veggie Force?

Dr. Bill Stiffle: It's this vitamin line she hocks.

Officer Lou Bratley: Veggie Force! I know that stuff. Right, I know, Veggie Force, right. Okay. Yeah... you wouldn't happen to know if they make a weight gainer for kids?

Dr. Bill Stiffle: I can check I guess.

Dean Stiffle: ...Anyway, that's why we got in a fight. Cause he wouldn't let the kid go.

Officer Lou Bratley: Which kid?

Dean Stiffle: The kid who was kidnapped.

Officer Lou Bratley: Okay. I think I understand. You were fighting at the mall with a guy who's kidnapping and drug smuggling with a guy who killed himself.

Dean Stiffle: ...Yeah.

Officer Lou Bratley: Well, that's great Dean, you know? Only there doesn't happen to be any reports around here of any missing kids, so how do you explain that?

Dean Stiffle: I can't... I can't explain that.

Dr. Bill Stiffle: [Interrupting] Officer, can I...?

Officer Lou Bratley: Well, I mean, what's his name? This missing kid, this kidnapped kid, what's his name?

Dean Stiffle: He's called Charley.

Officer Lou Bratley: Charley what?

Dean Stiffle: Charley Br...

Dr. Bill Stiffle: [Interrupting again] Officer Bratley, could you step outside a minute, please? I'd like to talk to you in private.

Dean Stiffle: ...O-Officer Bratley?
