Do It Quickly

While I was watching the Long Island Marathon, Ranjana was sitting in the car waiting for me when a policeman started bothering her. He asked her for her license and registration and took them into his car. When I came back I went up to the police car and acted disheartened and disgusted. I said, "Do anything you want to do, but do it quickly! You can fine us, but do it quickly!"
 
When I said that, he threw away the ticket. When I spoke to him, he calmed down and we didn't pay anything.
