[Briscoe and Logan catch C-Square]

Briscoe: Clarence Carmichael?

C-Square: Okay, you got me. I shot the sheriff. But the deputy, I swear, that was some other dude.

Logan: [slaps the cuffs on C-Square] I just love rock and roll.

Briscoe: Clarence Carmichael, you're under arrest for the rape of Julia Wood. You have the right to remain silent.

C-Square: Yeah, you have the right to kiss my ass.

Manager: Just keep quiet, Clarence. This is harassment. False arrest. You'll hear from our lawyers.

Briscoe: Oh, no. Not the lawyers. I'm scared. You scared, Mike?

Logan: I'm shakin' in my blue suede shoes.
