• Mr. Mohra : So, I'm tendin' bar there at Ecklund and Swedlin's last Tuesday, and this little guy's drinkin' and he says, "So where can a guy find some action? I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake." And I says, "What kinda action?" and he says, "Woman action, what do I look like?" And I says, "Well, what do I look like? I don't arrange that kinda thing," and he says, "But I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake," and I says, "Well, this ain't that kinda place."

  Officer Olson : Uh-huh.

  Mr. Mohra : So he angrily says, "Oh I get it, so you think I'm some kinda crazy jerk for askin'!" only he doesn't use the word "jerk."

  Officer Olson : I understand.

  Mr. Mohra : And then he calls me a jerk, and says that the last guy who thought he was a jerk is dead now. So I don't say nothin' and he says, "What do ya think about that?" So I says, "Well, that don't sound like too good a deal for him, then."

  Officer Olson : [chuckles]  Ya got that right.

  Mr. Mohra : And he says, "Yah, that guy's dead, and I don't mean of old age." And then he just pays his tab and walks out saying, "Geez, I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake!"

  Officer Olson : White Bear Lake?

  Mr. Mohra : Well... Ecklund & Swedlin's, that's closer ta Moose Lake, so I made that assumption.

  Officer Olson : Oh sure.

  Mr. Mohra : So, ya know, he's drinkin', so I don't think a whole great deal of it, but Mrs. Mohra heard about the homicides down here last week and she thought I should call it in. So... I called it in. End o' story.

  Officer Olson : What'd this guy look like, anyway?

  Mr. Mohra : Oh, he was a little guy... Kinda funny lookin'.

  Officer Olson : Uh-huh. In what way?

  Mr. Mohra : Oh, just in a general kinda way.

• Officer Olson : Hiya, Norm. How ya doin', Margie? How's the fricasse?

  Marge Gunderson : Pretty darn good, ya want some?

  Officer Olson : No, I gotta - hey, Norm, I thought you was goin' ice fishin' up at Mille Lacs?

  Norm Gunderson : Yah, after lunch.

  Officer Olson : Ah.
