WRAITH (HOLDING UP HIS HANDS): "These new strip search rules are killing my hands, Searchem. I've done thirty cavity searches today, and those rubber gloves leave my hands feeling all cracked and chafed. Maybe I should just let this one go." WOMAN: "Of course you should let me go. I'm an FBI agent!" SEARCHEM: "Don't be silly, Wraith. With Lubriderm hand cream, you could search every woman in the Bureau and still keep your hands soft and smooth."

Plus I still have two more policewomen, a female news anchor, and Judge Ashley to search." SEARCHEM (SMILING AS HE GRABS SUSAN BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK, SLAPS HER BOTTOM, AND ROUGHLY PUSHES HER DOWN THE HALL): "Boy, you sure have a busy day!"
