Welcome to New Orleans...How many shots did you hear? Quotes

“The Trooper pauses for a long moment to control the anger you can see boiling just under the surface. His next question seems somewhat off topic. “How many people will you be at your table for Thanksgiving?” The women looks at him equally as confused as we are. She finally says seven people will be at Thanksgiving dinner. In a dead pan voice the Trooper looks right at her and says “You can pick one of those place setting up. Juniors dead.” My jaw falls open. My partners jaw falls open. The women faints and falls back onto the floor.”
