• Lt. Randall Disher : [attempts to question the Living Statue performer about what he saw, to no success]  Excuse me. Lieutenant Disher, SFPD. You've got a pretty good view of the bank from here. We're investigating a robbery that took place earlier this morning.

  [the Living Statue doesn't hear him] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : Sir?

  [pause. Still no response] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : Sir, this is official police business. It will just take a minute.

  [takes out his badge and flashes it] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : If you're not too busy.

  [pause. Still no response] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : OK, I know you can hear me. Look, I just saw you blink. You blinked.

  [Randy tries to startle the performer in hope that he will react; the performer doesn't move a muscle] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : Oh. I get it.

  [waves a dollar bill in front of the performer, and then drops the bill into his collection box] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : Normally, we don't pay for information! So, what time did arrive at the park this morning, sir?

  [Still no response] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : OK, you know what, pal? I can get a crane here in 20 minutes, lift you up and drag you downtown.

  [the Living Statue's alarm goes off, and he steps off his pedestal, indicating that it's his break time] 

  Living Statue : It's my break, man.

  Lt. Randall Disher : Well, thank you. That's more like it.

  Living Statue : [Groans]  This is my job. I mean, how would you like it if I came to your office and

  [screams] 

  Living Statue : in your face, huh?

  [He yells in anger again] 

  Living Statue : Was I here? Yes, I was here. I've been here all day. I'm here every morning. Even Sundays.

  Lt. Randall Disher : Good. Did you see anything unusual at around 9:00?

  Living Statue : Yeah. I, I saw a guy. About 5' 10", green hoodie. He was hanging out, pacin' around. Looked kinda nervous, and then, he went inside.

  Lt. Randall Disher : Good. Did you see his face?

  Living Statue : He had his hood up. Sorry.

  Lt. Randall Disher : Okay. Hood up. And then what happened?

  Living Statue : Oh, about 10 minutes later, the alarm went off. And I saw...

  [his break alarm goes off, signalling the end of his break. He steps back up on his pedestal and freezes in place] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : What? Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?

  [No response. Disher laughs for a second] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : No, no, no, no! No, no, no. Don't. Don't do that.

  [pause] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : Hey, we're not done here. What did you see?
