Hypothetical situation, huh? All right, I’m standing on the street corner, and Mrs. Grey there comes up and propositions me. She says if I come home with her, for $5 she’ll put on an exhibition with a Shetland pony...
This is a memorable quote from the 1976 film The Enforcer, featuring Clint Eastwood as Inspector Harry Callahan. In the scene, Callahan uses this absurd hypothetical scenario to interrogate Mrs. Grey (played by Jan Stratton) and determine if any laws are being broken besides animal cruelty. His partner, Inspector Kate Moore (played by Tyne Daly), correctly identifies the act as a conspiracy under the California Penal Code, noting that a conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor is a felony.
Cruelty to animals... LOL!
