“Hey, what are you doing?”

“Getting rid of the traffic.”

“You can’t turn the lights on! We’re not cops!”

“But we’re the authority.”

“No! No, we are NOT the authority! We’re volunteer firefighters!”

“Same thing.”

“In front of the store?”

“Yeah, it says fire department parking.”

“THAT’S FOR WHEN THERE’S AN ACTUAL FIRE EMERGENCY!”

“This is why we never let you drive, Rogers.”

“Hey, Alex. You wanna go drive around in the ambulance?”

“Vy?”

“You know, to fool around.”

“But ambulance eez for people who need help. For emergencies.”

“Well, I need help, if you know what I mean. And I’m telling you girl, this IS an emergency.”

“Da, you need help. No thanks.”
