Oh, my God. Judy, we were att*cked.
We were targeted for assassination.

Thank you. Seriously, I'm sorry.
Y'all aren't important

Sheriff, what's your take on this?
Oh, maybe it was teenagers up

- Botched robbery.
- Teenagers?
f*ck off. They were assassins, okay?
I seriously doubt they were pros.
Why would you seriously doubt that?
Mainly because they didn't

it's just that Judy

it's been soaking in
