though this not really used. Figure it out for yourself, Kelly. "To figure out" how to do something is to learn how to do it. Do what I tell you and everything will be jake. "Jake" is fine or OK, though this is no longer used. Hey there, Snyder. Long time, no see. A good way to greet a person who you have not seen in a long time! Chuck, get this off to the department, right away. In this case, "to get off" a message is to mail or send it. Lieutenant Snyder doesn’t know shit. A very crude way of saying that Snyder doesn’t know anything. You ain’t got nothing on me. :: How about counterfeiting? If the police don’t "have anything on" a suspect, they don’t have enough evidence to charge them with a crime. All you’ve got to do is tell us when he’s going to make his chump. A "chump" is an easily fooled or victimized person. Thus, this is a way of saying to carry out a con game, but it is never used.

This is Polk’s way of saying that Alma might have to spend a lot of years in jail when all of her small crimes are combined. You stink, mister. :: Don’t be a sap. If you tell a person that they stink, you’re saying that they are disgusting or revolting. A "sap" is an interesting word for a foolish, gullible or easily fooled person.

"To drag" something is to pull it, though to "drag down" a person is to bring them down and force lots of problems on to them. Hell yes, we don’t care about the mark. He deserves what he gets.
