Harry says "With all those patrols out, Ronald couldn't have gotten through?" Ralph says "It was dirty pool. He did it while everyone was at my house last night." Harry says "I know that meeting would get results." Ralph says "It's obviously someone who knows what's going on around here?" Ralph then tells Harry to get him a lead on a few suspects. Ralph says three suspects: Rosenbloom, Polanski and a colored guy who just moved in. Harry says he's a superior court judge. Ralph says he could be moonlighting.
