 * “If you want anything that requires a key…” -MM
 * The police will be trained in the city/town they intend to police.
 * They will be of the culture of the city.
 * “The concept of policing is very basic. The cops themselves do not have power. Their power is the power that we grant them to police us, because we need it, because we are pig monkeys.” -JR
 * “Having recourse to the law was a thing, was not a right but it involved, it was a participatory aspect of citizenship.If you were going to call the cops, you’d better hold up your end of the bargain by being, for the most part, law-abiding and a citizen.” -JR

 * “Do not attract the attention of the police because it never ends well.” -JR

 * “With father issues.” -MM
 * “A lot of these guys, they’re mustache guys.” -JR, on firefighters.
 * “You know Merlin, I call 911 all the time… I call them just to report I saw a pigeon that was limping.” -JR
 * “Hey, it’s Merlin, hey, what’s up. I don’t have a problem, yet. But. I just wanted to give you an update on a couple fronts. The fence is still an issue, it’s leaning a little bit.”
 * "Music is important to us in name only." -JR
