FRIDAY: This is the city -- Omaha, Nebraska. I was working the night watch out of Parks and Recreation when a call came in about a new geocache. My partner’s Bill Gannon. My name’s Friday. I carry a badge.
(cut to medium two-shot of Friday and Gannon in their patrol vehicle)
GANNON: Say, Joe, you think any of those crazy geocachers will be out tonight?
FRIDAY: Yeah. And the hippies and the Frisbee golf crowd, too.
GANNON: I just hope we don’t have to collar any First-to-Finders.
FRIDAY: Yesterday was brutal … which kind of cache were those perpetrators after?
GANNON: A micro.
FRIDAY: That’s about the size of it.
(music) Dum-da-dum-dum. Dum-da-dum-dum-DAH!
(night shot of Friday interrogating perpetrator)
FIRST-TO-FINDER: You see, officer, my phone just lit up with new caches, and I guess I just couldn’t help myself...
FRIDAY: Just the facts, ma’am.
FIRST-TO-FINDER: I know it’s three o’clock in the morning, and I shouldn’t be canoeing down the Leahy Mall. Sorry.
FRIDAY: What is it you think you’re going to find on that little duck island in the middle of the water?
FIRST-TO-FINDER: A small Tupperware container. Or maybe a ceramic pig.
FRIDAY: Containing what?
FIRST-TO-FINDER: Junk, mostly. Toys from McDonald’s, a short little pencil and a damp notebook.
FRIDAY: Let me see if I’ve got the facts straight, ma’am. You’re canoeing down Leahy Mall in the middle of the night. You’re after a small container...
FIRST-TO-FINDER: That’s about the size of it.
FRIDAY: Let’s just stick to the facts, ma’am. You’re here to sign your name in a damp notebook?
FIRST-TO-FINDER: Yes, officer. And to trade a Hot Wheels car for a Spongebob Happy Meal toy.
FRIDAY: Alright, that’s enough, you’re going downtown.
FIRST-TO-FINDER: I’m already downtown. See, here on my GPS...
FRIDAY: Are you strung out on some kind of pills or something? Are you a juvenile delinquent?
FIRST-TO-FINDER: No, officer. It’s worse than that.
FRIDAY: Ma’am?
FIRST-TO-FINDER: I’m a geocacher.
(music) Dum-da-dum-dum-DAH!
