Lt. Frank Drebin: Miss, I'm Lt. Frank Drebin, and this is Captain Ed Hocken, Police Squad.
Busty Female Shop Assistant: Is this some kind of bust?
Lt. Frank Drebin: Well... it's very impressive, yes, but we need to ask you a few questions.
a precious human has left us. It's up to us now, he represented a real person, not someone who fakes life, he really lived and loved. Not like most of us who just watch what he did. How shall we deal? I shall miss him so much. I try to live and love, and will succeed.

Leslie, we will all miss your special heart and your unique soul
