Bruce Fairbairn: Officer Chris Owens

Quotes 

• Officer Terry Webster : [Officer Terry Webster, using a cane due to an ankle injury, is walking slowly down the steps at the precinct, one at a time. At the bottom of the steps, he stumbles and drops his cane and the folders he's carrying. Officers Mike Danko and Chris Owens appear at that moment and walk over to him]  Don't say a word!

  Officer Mike Danko : [Mike stares at Terry]  Now, what would we say?

  Officer Terry Webster : [Terry holds up his hands, palms facing outward, in front of himself. He is now facing Mike and Chris]  Nothing!

  Officer Chris Owens : [Chris bends down to pick up Terry's cane]  Uh, you dropped your cane.

  Officer Terry Webster : [Terry holds out his hands toward Chris]  Don't touch a thing!

  [Terry snatches his cane away from Chris] 

  Officer Mike Danko : [Mike speaks in a low, jesting tone to Chris]  I've heard that these ankle injuries can become very serious.

  Officer Chris Owens : [Chris, enjoying the joke at Terry's expense, replies in kind]  You know, I heard it happened when he dropped his handcuffs on his toes. A shame, because he had such a promising career.

  [Terry grips his cane with a serious expression, clearly not enjoying the jesting at his expense] 

  Officer Chris Owens : He's looking pretty serious... see you later!
