  • (..) I borrowed my girlfriend's father's gun, It's under the driver's seat, Partner, we got a gun in the car, Put your hands behind your head, - Turn around slow, lock your fingers! - Ma'am, exit the driver's side, Step out of the vehicle, Don't look anywhere else, Look at me, - I am gettin' out, - Oww! (..)
