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]

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?
