Sam: Officer, I'm the owner of the bar here. Sam Malone. Is there a problem?
Police Officer: No, no. Some guy tried to implicate this letter carrier here in a mail theft on his route.
Cliff: Can you believe that?
Sam: You're kidding me. Mail theft? That's ridiculous. I've known Cliff for years. He wouldn't be involved in something like that.
Cliff: You're a fine bartender, Sammy. [to the officer] You, sir, are one of Boston's finest.
Police Officer: Well, thanks. We just had to check out the story.
Cliff: And check it out you did. By the way, the federal government appreciates the cooperation of you local boys. Let's just hope our penal system can rehabilitate the wretch.
