• Rev. Booth : [after Det. Sgt. Hobson has raided Big Al's merchandise store in the church cellar]  It's quite a compliment: it proves we're doing something useful!

  Big Al : [a la Descartes]  I am raided by the police, therefore I am!

  Rev. Booth : [Referring to himself]  It's nice to know one exists.

  Big Al : You'll be on the police computer now. That means you REALLY exist. I am on the computer, therefore I am!

  Rev. Booth : I didn't know you were a philosopher.

  Big Al : I'm just an enthusiastic amateur - it's not really my trade. Strictly speaking, YOU'RE the professional!
