Love 'Em and Leave 'Em

Through a rift in the clouds the sun shines down

Glaringly staining the wet asphalt

Nearly forgotten dream will awaken again

Bringing everlasting courage deeply into my eyes

JUST beyond time I want to see dream

Embracing blue skies that open my heart

JUST beyond time embracing dreams

More than now MOTTO! I want to shine

I said come in now! Your time is up!

I told you your time was up! You're under arrest!

You have the right to remain silent...

and you have the right to call a lawyer!

And if you come along quietly like a good boy...

you may just avoid the firing squad for the three murders you've committed!

Now walk towards me slowly!

Hey, stop!

You're even more stupid than I thought!

Now you've made me mad!

What the-- uh, ahh-- Oh, my heart--

If you don't back off, I'll blow his brains out !

Kill the hostage and you lose your only protection !

So you only have two options !

You can give yourself up !!!

or you can kill the hostage and then feel the stroke of my stun gun !!!

meaning lots of broken bones and life in the prison hospital !

So be a good boy and I won't shoot you !

Not now anyway !

Because I'm feeling generous, I'm going to count to ten !

Ready? One, two !!!

three, four, five, six, seven, eight !!!

- All right! - nine, ten!

Wait! I give up!

Good morning, Chief! !

And many citizens are questioning the tactics of our police !

Keep going ! You're clear !

Just keep going straight ! Go on! Uh-oh!

What's up? Are we stuck?

Nothing to worry about !

Just keep going straight and we'll soon be out!

It can't go on! I've told you before!

Chill out, Chief !

We're dealing with the scum in the only way they understand ! You know that !

All I know is that you're destroying the city !!!

and making us more hated than the criminals!

Take a look at this!

- Tank Police out! - We demand our rights !

- Why pay taxes to destroy our city? - You're worse than criminals!

Pay your debts, Chief, or I'll burn you!

They love you, Chief! !

Yes, that's quite a welcome !

Don't you lot have any respect?

The Tank Police are doing more harm than good !!!

don't you agree, Chief?

When will you learn that there is more to police duty than catching criminals?

What about protecting the property and the rights of our citizens !!!

maintaining peace and security on the streets !!!

so that the ordinary citizen can go safely about his or her business?

Hey, that's a great election speech !

That may be so, but I also happen to believe in what I'm saying, Captain !

You're supposed to protect our citizens, not threaten them !

And don't forget, they pay your wages!

Because of your excessive use of force, my desk is piled high with complaints!

There's a murder every 30 seconds in this city !!!

and an act of terrorism every 25 minutes!

Just take today's little party, for instance!

These are known as type-four Virtual Drugs !

Think of them as narcotics for electronic brains !

If we didn't catch the guy today !!!

the damage would have been 30 to 40 times greater than today !

Which would you rather have--

people dying everywhere !!!

or a little bit of noise when we make an arrest?

And what's more, Madam Mayor !!!

the terrorists are now targeting the police directly !!!

and we have reports of the new type of mobile weapon !!!

on the rampage in the eastern ward!

But there are many different ways to skin a cat, my friends !

Who are you, may I ask?

I beg your pardon ! My name is Higashinada !!!

from Tank Division Three !

I'm here to do a short study of your department !

Yes, headquarters has specifically ordered Detective Higashinada !!!

to prepare a report on all the activities of our unique tank battalion !

Our activities?

Yes, headquarters is awash with rumors !!!

regarding the activities of this battalion !!!

and the little demolition party today won't look good!

A more intelligent approach to the situation !!!

would have been better received by the public !

What?

Thanks for the advice, but we have our own way of doing things around here !

Brenten!

At any rate, I want the Tank Police to exercise some self-control!

You're down to one patrol a day for the foreseeable future!

And that's an order!

The mayor seems to have regained control of the situation.

Yes, it's me ! How are you fixed for tonight?

Great!

Bloody useless!

The statistics appear to show an improvement.

Terrorist attacks totalled 34 this week and this can be seen as good news --

Captain! Captain! Why, there you are!

Captain, I have a message for you from the head of admin !

He wants a written report on the events of last week !

Oh, you're already doing it !

He also wants details on the equipment reduction !!!

now in force for the tank battalion !

I'm busy right now!

Hey ! Say, has anyone seen the armor-piercing shells I had here?

No, I haven't !

Hey, Al !!!

Yes, what is it?

That guy, Higashinada, doesn't he give you the creeps?

I didn't like the way he was staring at us as if he was scrutinizing us !

He's just interested in our tank battalion !

He's pretty hot himself--

practically born and bred in H ! Q.'s Tank Division Three !

How do you know?

He's a tank ace now !

He won the Police Commissioner's Medal 2 4 times !!!

and the Mayor's Gratitude Medal 1 1 times!

He's no stranger to combat !

You've been up to your tricks hacking into H ! Q.'s mainframe again and--

And the armor-piercing shells?

But that guy still gives me a really bad vibe !

He makes my skin crawl, always wiping his glasses ! It's creepy !

What is it that you find so creepy?

Stand by for the weather after the break.

What are you doing here?

Don't you know that this area is for special personnel only?

Yes, I have authorization !!!

and all I want is a brief conversation with the officers !

I'm not arguing that tanks have a definite deterrent effect !!!

but don't you agree that they're a little too crude and bulky !!!

to handle all the subtleties of street crime?

And what does that mean?

What exactly are you saying?

It's my belief that a smaller, more powerful !!!

and more mobile weapon would be far more effective !!!

in combating the type of crime you encountered this morning !

Are you saying that you're not satisfied with the tank battalion?

I'd be happier if you hadn't caused quite so much damage !

Nice idea, but totally hypothetical !!!

because that type of weapon doesn't exist, does it?

As the Good Book says: ''Seek and ye shall find !!!

knock and the door shall be opened unto you ! '' Amen !

Oh, well, I have things to do, places to go, people to see !

- By the way, that diminutive tank-- - Bonaparte to you !

Oh, sorry ! Well, okay, Bonaparte !

Well, it's starter is a little sluggish !

You should check the electro-magnetic clutch !

See you later, gentlemen and lady !

What an arrogant little prick!

A tank ace, my ass ! More like an ace jerk!

How dare he suggest that there's something wrong with Bonaparte !

- He's right ! - What?

I noticed the clutch too ! She's still operating within specs !!!

but I was going to have her checked out next week !

He still gives me the creeps!

Suck that, you bastards!

Come and get it!

Goddamn! Where the hell did they get so many guns?

Call for some backup!

I already did!
