“There are many different jobs in the police. It seems to me, that the chalk outline guy is one of the better jobs that you can get. You know it's not dangerous, the criminals are long gone, that seems like a good one. I don't know who they are, I guess they're people who wanted to be sketch artists, but they couldn't draw too well...‘Listen, Johnson, forget the sketches. Do you think if we left a dead body right there on the sidewalk, you could manage to trace around it? Could you do that?’ I don't even know how it helps to solve the crime? You know, they look at the thing on the ground...‘Aah. his arm was like that when he hit the pavement. That means the killer must've been Jim.’”
