Ladies and gentlemen, by transcription we take you now behind the scenes of a police headquarters in a great American city. We're under the cold, glaring lights. We'll pass before us the innocent, the vagrant, the thief, the murderer.
This is the line-up. It seems like this really I do. You ever been in a line-up before, Ms. Larkin?
I should say no. I feel like such a fool who can only take. Yeah, well, they'll depend in which line the suspect appears. Well, heavens, can't they put him in the first line or something?
Maybe they will. I want you to tell me. Well, that disinfectant is male. Certainly strong. But glad when this whole thing's over. May I have your attention, please? You people out there on the other side of the wire in the audience room, may I have your attention, please?
Thank you. My name is Greg. Sergeant Matt Grab, I'll explain the line of the number. Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call off a number, the name in charge. If you have any questions or identifications, please remember the number assigned to the prisoner, as I call his name.
At the end of each line, when I ask for questions or identifications, call up the number. If you're sure or not too sure of the suspect, tab in hell, the officers who took your name will assist you there seated among you.
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. Alright, keep it moving boys, right over to the end of the stage.
