Police: This is the police. You are completely surrounded. Put down your weapon. Put down your weapon now.

Policeman: One minute.
Veronica: Don't you understand? You just put the book in that woman's hand and she's gonna lob it at you like a grenade. Justice and punishment are the same thing to her.
Michael: I know.
Veronica: Then will you please tell me what's going through your head?
Michael: We've been over this.
