Since I was born in 1963, I had the interest of being a cop. I saw them on TV, saving ponies from danger, and that's what got me interested.

Glasgow Village, St. Foalis, 1981

Lewis: *Running out of his house*

I'd spend most of my time in Summer, running around town, trying to find these two detectives. My family lived in the Northern section of town, just tiếp theo to Interstate 270, near Chouteau Island. I just graduated from Riverview Gardens High School, and even though my parents wanted me to go to College, I had something else in mind.

Lewis: *Sees Leonard in his car* Hi Leonard.
Leonard: Lewis, come on in.
Lewis: *Gets in the back seat*

Leonard, and his partner Peter always enjoyed having me around. It wasn't hard to find them. I had to look around for a white Chrysler, get in, and tham gia them on whatever job their commissioner had them do. Whether it was stakeouts, hoặc patrols, the three of us made a great team. They even taught me a lot.

Leonard: All right, what's an 11-82?
Lewis: An accident with no injuries.
Leonard: Hell yeah!
Peter: This guy has brains!
Leonard: We'd be nowhere without you.

And it was fun too. I mean, I just graduated from High School, and hear I am with these two detectives, as if I'm like one of them. I remember tons of good memories sitting there with them in their Chrysler, and we busted a lot of ponies together.

But when I told my parents the news, this happened.

Stop the song

Lewis: *Walks into his dad's room*
Dad: *Using a typewriter* What do bạn want?
Lewis: Well, uh-
Dad: Are bạn just going to stand there like a retard, hoặc are bạn going to say something? What the hell do bạn want?
Lewis: I'm not interested in going to College.
Dad: What?
Lewis: I want to be a police officer.
Dad: No! Absolutely not! Go to your room right now! You're grounded!!

Everything pauses in place as Lewis begins to narrate again

He grounded me for two whole weeks. I wasn't allowed to do anything. I couldn't read a book, I couldn't open a window, hell I couldn't even get out of my bed. That's how bad it was. When I was ungrounded, I told Leonard what happened.

Leonard: Lewis, where the hell have bạn been? We missed you, and three suspects got away from us since bạn weren't here.
Lewis: My dad grounded me, because I told him I wanted to be a cop. I'm sorry guys, but I can't be with bạn anymore.
Leonard: Sure bạn can. Let me deal with him.
