We take you now to... Oh, why not? Thought you were off duty. I'm supposed to be quin, but we're checking on that two of them.
We get down the moon. Oh, no, identification? Not yet. Been another hour or so. But I'd snap in and see what you're going on. I think big. About 35 boys. Well, I know he'd have done until we get an identification.
All this matter. I have to admit that you're leaving. Yeah, I'll see you later. You people out there on the other side of the wire of the audience room? May I have your attention to me?
Thank you. My name is Greg, so I did not grab. I'll explain the line up for you. Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call up a number of their name and charge.
If you have any questions or identification, please remember the number assigned to the prisoner as I call his name. At the end of each line when I ask what questions or identification, call out the number.
If you're sure or not too sure of the suspect, have him held. The officers who took your name will assist you there seated among you. Please be prock with your questions or identification. When the prisoners leave here, they are sent to the washroom and dressed back into their jail clothes.
It makes it quite difficult to bring them back after they leave here. The questions I ask these suspects are merely to get a natural tone of voice, so do not pay too much attention to their answers as they often lie.
Bring on the line. Okay, keep it moving right over to the end of the stage. Hands to your sides. I'll turn and face front. Okay, boys, now when you answer my questions, talk up. There's a lot of people out there, and I want you to talk up so they can all hear you.
