Huh?
It's just me here. It's about you and the kids.

You and you're not important, huh?
Well, yeah, but more kids are important, you guys.

Alright.
I just wish I could go out and sandbag.

There out the Kennedy Bridge goes.
The piers underneath are leaking.
No.
The bridge.

Yeah, totally do it.
What was it on their side?
Which would be actually pretty good for us.
Can't go over there.
Looks like they had mom on flood insurance,
although I doubt that it would get over to where she's at.
Yeah, high ground.
Yeah, but still.
I just went over by her place.
It's like, it's crazy over there.
I'm sure.
What is it?
Oh.
I don't know.
We gotta go.
Okay.
Bye.

This is the police department.
What department do you live in?
Department two.
Okay.
I see him right up there.
I'm on the side of the building.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thanks.
