Reed Ethington: No, not at all. Hey, Ed.
Ed Burton: How's it going, Reed?
Reed Ethington: The back, huh? Never been back here.
Ed Burton: *I* have. My guess is... you don't wash it after the canine unit uses it. You guys smell that?

It's smart, funny, dark and succinct. Makes you use your brain a bit as you rethink the previous scenes with each newfound bit of information. I was pleasantly entertained and actually laughed out loud several times. A hidden gem of a movie that deserves much better than the 6.2 rating it currently has. I'm starting to lose faith in the IMDb rating system.
