V: Hey. Jerry Jacks is still at Kelly's. Boy, can that man eat. He just polished off his second bowl of chili.

Taggert: Mild or spicy?

V: Oh. (looks it up in her notebook) that would be -- spicy. Just trying to be thorough.

Taggert: You are fishing for shrimp when there is a shark gliding by.

Stefan walks up

V: Hi.

Stefan: May I help you?

Taggert: I'd like to see your I.D., Please, sir.

Stefan: You have doubts as to who I am?

Taggert: Suspects on bail are required to carry their papers at all times.

Stefan: I have no such documents on my person.

Taggert: Wow. Maybe I should haul your person into prison. I have the power. Oh, but I understand you acquired a little extra power of your own. That lite bundle Katherine Bell left you in her will made you, what, a millionaire? Wow. Looks like you made quite the killing.

Stefan: Excuse me.

V: Do you have any idea how many rules of procedure you just broke?

Taggert: Beat my personal best.

V: To say nothing of harassment, the outright lies.

Taggert: Yeah, that's a good idea -- don't say anything.

V: But you --

Taggert: Shh. Please. A guilty person does not hand you a confession. You have to shake them till something falls out. That's the way we do things on the street, V.

Jax walks up

Jax: V.

V: Jax. How are you?
Jax: Desperate.

V: Oh.

Next scene

V: Desperate? I've never known you to be anywhere close to desperate

Jax: Well, you haven't been around since my assistant left me. Nothing's gone right since.	V: Mr. Jacks means me.

Taggert: Clever man, that Mr. Jacks.

V: How's Brenda?

Jax: She's good. I just put her on a train. She's heading for a shoot in bryce canyon.

V: What a life -- a glamourous career, a gorgeous -- wardrobe. Brenda's a model.

Taggert: What are you, a pop-up video?

V: Det. Taggert has been showing me how a real veteran operates. It's been quite an education.

Jax: This woman has an amazing mind. Some people are foolish enough to underrate her.

Taggert: Yeah, what she knows could fill a book. In fact, it probably does. Of course, out here you don't always have time to reach for your encyclopedia. So what do you say we get back to work? Mr. Jacks.

V: On top of everything else, he's rude. Hey, if you're looking for a man who talks like you, he's having chili at kelly's.
Jax: Thanks, V.
V: See you.
Jax: See you.

Jax: How long am I supposed to stand here?

Jerry: Sorry. Just wanted them to leave.

Jax: Yeah? You hiding from the cops again?

Jerry: Only from the lady with the very small name. If she shadowed me any closer, she could get arrested for indecency. She's not working for you, is she?

Jax: It never occurred to me to have my brother tailed. Maybe it should have.

Jerry: If it'll make you trust me again, I'm all for it.
