• Paramedic John Gage : [Johnny walks behind the squad and sees 3 boys]  Well, how's it goin', guys?

  3rd boy : Not so good.

  Paramedic John Gage : Wanna report a fire?

  [3rd boy shakes his head no] 

  Paramedic John Gage : Did you start one?

  3rd boy : If we did, we wouldn't tell you.

  Paramedic John Gage : Well, that's true.

  Boy pulling wagon : We lost somethin'.

  Paramedic John Gage : Okay. What?

  3rd boy : A key.

  Boy pulling wagon : To my handcuffs.

  Paramedic John Gage : [Johnny motions to the boy in the wagon]  And... .he's wearin' 'em?

  [Johnny turns to the other 2 boys] 

  Paramedic John Gage : Well, where is the key?

  3rd boy : My sister's got it.

  Paramedic John Gage : And she won't give 'em back?

  Boy pulling wagon : She can't. She threw it down the sewer. Girls!

  Paramedic John Gage : Yeah.

  [Johnny looks at the cuffs on the wagon boy's wrists] 

  Paramedic John Gage : Well, looks like I better get the K-12.

  Boy in wagon : Will it hurt?

  Paramedic John Gage : A bit. But you're tough, aren't ya?

  [Boy in wagon nods yes] 

  Paramedic John Gage : Yeah.

  [Johnny climbs up on the back of the squad and pulls the K-12 chop saw out of the case. He looks down as the boys are starting to walk away] 

  Paramedic John Gage : Hey, where you guys goin'?

  3rd boy : We'll try the police station.

  Paramedic John Gage : Well, they'll probably use a Wuffle Spring on ya.

  Boy in wagon : What's A Wuffle Spring?

  Paramedic John Gage : Well, it's a thing that operates a Raltnee. Has a big ratchet on it like a Crabbitts. Great for takin' off stuck handcuffs. But, of course, it makes a lotta noise.

  [Boys look worried] 

  Paramedic John Gage : On the other hand, I might be able to get 'em off with a StetsoHydraulic Activator.

  3rd boy : What's that?

  Paramedic John Gage : A pair of pliers.

  Boy in wagon : Honest?

  Paramedic John Gage : Honest.

  [Johnny grabs a pair of pliers, steps down off the squad and removes the handcuffs from the boy's wrists]
