Officer Lou Bratley:
Okay - so, now, you want to tell me about this fight at the mall?
Dean Stiffle:
No. Not really, no.
Dr. Bill Stiffle:
Dean, make an effort for me, please. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for all this, officer.
Officer Lou Bratley:
I'm all ears.
Dr. Bill Stiffle:
Dean?
Dean Stiffle:
...The guy at the mall was Billy. He and the other two forced me to steal drugs from my friend, Troy.
Officer Lou Bratley:
Troy? Who's this Troy?
Dean Stiffle:
Troy Johnson. He's dead.
Dr. Bill Stiffle:
He committed suicide, sir.
Officer Lou Bratley:
I don't understand.
Dean Stiffle:
I told them no, so to force me to do it, they kidnapped my brother.
Officer Lou Bratley:
Wait a minute, are you kidding me? You got a son who's kidnapped?
Dean Stiffle:
No, wait a second, listen. They got the wrong kid. And they said if I didn't get the stuff from Troy, they were going to kill him.
Officer Lou Bratley:
Oh, you just said Troy, who's dead.
Dr. Bill Stiffle:
He is, officer. Dean...?
Dean Stiffle:
So I did it, only Charlie - my little brother, Charlie, switched the drugs on me. And I wound up with a bag of my mom's Veggie Force.
Officer Lou Bratley:
Veggie Force?
Dr. Bill Stiffle:
It's this vitamin line she hocks.
Officer Lou Bratley:
Veggie Force! I know that stuff. Right, I know, Veggie Force, right. Okay. Yeah... you wouldn't happen to know if they make a weight gainer for kids?
Dr. Bill Stiffle:
I can check I guess.
Dean Stiffle:
...Anyway, that's why we got in a fight. Cause he wouldn't let the kid go.
Officer Lou Bratley:
Which kid?
Dean Stiffle:
The kid who was kidnapped.
Officer Lou Bratley:
Okay. I think I understand. You were fighting at the mall with a guy who's kidnapping and drug smuggling with a guy who killed himself.
Dean Stiffle:
...Yeah.
