[Malloy and Reed have their heads out a fifth story window trying to talk a jumper on the ledge into the building]
Officer Jim Reed : Hi.
Carl Shumley : [nervously] Why did they send for you?
Officer Pete Malloy : [calmly] Take it easy, Mister. Don't get excited.
Carl Shumley : [excitedly] Don't get excited? Why shouldn't I get excited? What else would you expect me to be?
Officer Jim Reed : Wait just a minute now. Please wait.
Carl Shumley : Wait? Do you think I have any other choice?
Officer Jim Reed : Everybody's got a choice.
Officer Pete Malloy : He's right, Mister. Don't do anything foolish. Just relax. There's always a way out.
Carl Shumley : Well, why don't you help me?
Officer Jim Reed : We'll be glad to help you, Mister, any way we can.
Carl Shumley : [more excitedly] Well, why don't you stop talkin' and do something. Do you think I want to be out here? I'm cold.
Officer Jim Reed : Then why don't you come on inside?
Carl Shumley : [on the verge of tears] There's a hook in that building, and my belt is stuck in it. I can't move. I'm afraid to move.
