I bet you're wondering why I'm doing this smelly, messy chore and looking happy as a lark.
Let me explain.
It all started a few days ago.
Although you could say it really started a few years ago when Steve Rogie Sr. took early retirement.
Leaving his hard-working but incompetent son, Steve Jr., in charge.
Don't blame him.
This stuff puts me to sleep, too.
Hey, check out East Gackle's new floral display.
The first town hall meeting depicted in pansies and gardenias.
Some people see flowers in history.
I see it all.
It's an opportunity for freedom of expression.
And you call yourself an officer of the law?
Honest, Dad, I just dropped off for a minute.
It took more than a minute to create this abomination.
Hi, boys.
Are you ready for the opening ceremony at the new hobby shop?
What?
What is this?
Disgrace.
What happened to the round-the-clock, state-of-the-art police surveillance you promised me?
He took a nap.
And don't worry, sir.
We have a lead.
A lead?
Of course you have a lead.
Anyone with half a brain knows this is Larkin's work.
Remember, I have yet to approve the police station parking lot.
So I suggest you work harder to nip Larkin's shenanigans in the bud.
Oh, so much blood.
Red tulips, Mayor.
Oh!
Uh-oh.
Oh, hey!
Larkin is making a fool out of you and the entire police department.
I hope you've done a better security job over at the hobby shop.
No problem, Dad.
I set up sensor alarms.
Not even a mouse could get near it.
Did you see the look on their faces?
Priceless.
Yeah, but you heard the Mayor.
Things could get tough.
Uh-oh.
Tough?
We're talking about Steve Jr.
Come on.
Every day at exactly the same time,
they check out the day-old donuts and muffins.
Hey, if you're hungry, I have some money,
and we can buy fresh dough.
They're not for us.
I'm just in the mood to redecorate Mr. East Gackle.
I can't believe what a mess you made of that last assignment.
Sheesh, if I was still in charge, things would be different.
What do you mean, if?
Look, a 4-20.324 right in front of you.
Skipping on city property is prohibited.
Aw, come on, Dad. She's only six years old.
That attitude is the reason Larkin is out of control.
You have no pride in your duties, no discipline.
You want to know where I learned those sacred principles of law enforcement?
The musical ride.
Those were the best times of my life.
We were really doing something.
I proclaim Nobby's Hobbies open for business.
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Did you think of...
...pointing any of those alarms up?
I'll give you three guesses who's responsible for this.
You're beginning to try my patience, Junior.
Hey, Birdman of Alcatraz.
I thought you might like to know.
Larkin is planning something wicked for Mr. East Gackle.
Come on!
I am.
Good. We're not too late.
Listen.
This is your chance to thwart Larkin and redeem yourself with the mayor.
What do you mean?
Letting Larkin get away with that birdseed stunt is exactly why the mayor is losing faith in you.
Now, I'm going for a copy.
Keep your eye on Woody here.
Now what, partner?
Hmm.
One at a time, one at a time, one at a time.
Hey, what's the hurry?
They're giving away free burgers at Beans and Burger.
You should come get some.
I can't.
I've got to protect Mr. East Gackle from Andy Larkin.
Are you kidding?
He's over there stuffing his face right now.
Oh, yeah.
You idiot!
Oh.
Are you getting tired of being pooped on yet?
Calling Constable Rogie?
I'm here.
I mean, this is Constable Rogie.
We have a report of a disturbance at the mayor's office.
Losing faith, eh?
Would you please tell your son to get off me?
You.
But.
We got a call that there was a disturbance.
I was singing.
Another Larkin prank.
That's it.
I need a competent police officer to deal with this tomfoolery.
Steve Rogie Senior, you are officially unretired and reinstated as town constable.
Thank you, Mayor.
I'll personally serve that urchin up for you on a plate.
Wait!
I didn't mean for this to happen.
Poor Steve Junior.
Listen up, Larkin!
There's a new constable in town!
Your days of pranking are numbered!
Oh, no.
I heard about Steve Senior's years when he was constable.
They called him the Iron Fisted Maniac.
And that was before he got old and grumpy.
Uh-oh.
I got you, Steve Junior.
Whoah.
What is this?
The Altos.
It's about the Latvian syndicate in Sudbury.
Maybe we can hire them to deal with the Iron Fisted Maniac.
Don't worry about Steve Senior.
Besides, once he's failed to stop my next big prank, he'll be back in retirement before
you can say, out to pasture.
Dad, watch out!
You nearly broke my arm, Steve!
No you didn't!
You didn't?
No, you didn't!
No you didn't!
No, you didn't!
So didn't I!
I got you.
You didn't.
You didn't!
You didn't.
You didn't!
No, I didn't.
ran that guy off the road don't be ridiculous he just moved over out of respect they used to
kill me the iron fisted miracle I guess is he hearings as bad as his eyesight here take a look
at some real police work I profiled Larkin and cross-reference the results with the police
strategy handbook I can now predict his every move according to chapter one he'll pull a huge
prank to try and prove it next time we're your seatbelt son or I'll be forced to cite you come
on we're here Larkin's house first police rule of engagement surveillance
there we need to bilge pumps for this prank h2 this is the bat as of now and all bilge pump

underestimated the old guy
let's see how far out on a limb Steve senior is willing to go hey mush are you free so what now

Beaten prankster. He's thrown in the towel
Hello dad
Sorry
Constable Rogi. I have a reliable source who says Larkin has given up
He says the only way he'll believe it is a fan that gives a public apology
There is no way that Andy would ever consent to a public apology not in a million years
I'd like to apologize to the town of East Gackle for all the pranks that I pulled in the past and I hereby
Swear off pulling any others

Your nephews, but but I heard them talking about a bank heist. You heard it, right?

East Gackle Bank says they weren't robbed and we didn't exactly see that
The mayor's nephews say the words
You're lucky the police parking lot has already been paved otherwise
