Quote from Frankie in Stormy Moon
Frankie: I mean this is ridiculous. How is there an outstanding warrant for my arrest? But for what? I didn't get a summons. There's got to be some mistake. Police Officer #1: No. Looks like the exact charge is failure to return library materials. Frankie: [sighs] Brick. Are you kidding? You're seriously arresting me for an overdue library book? Police Officer #1: Mm-hmm. That's what happens when you ignore three letters and two summons. Frankie: We aren't good at going through the mail. I tell everybody we need a system, but then nobody obeys the system. Look, we must not have realized it was an official summons. I probably thought it was one of those appliance-store coupons "summoning" me to low, low prices. Police Officer #1: Ma'am, when you make bail, you'll have a chance to tell your whole story to the judge. But I'd streamline it a little. Frankie: I need bail now? Are you kidding me? Police Officer #1: Once again, ma'am, I can assure you we are never kidding. Would you, uh, please step over to that X on the floor? Frankie: [sighs] Might want to take an extra one of those, because as soon as I get home, I'm gonna kill my son!
