Peter's those figures, please.

District 9, estimated tax loss, $221,000.
District 10, $400,000.
District 11, over half a

Now, gentlemen, we don't yet know what gang makes that alcohol or where it's made.
But all over your state, counter-spy squads are moving into action.
All right, here comes the truck, boys.

If the truck doesn't stop, blast the tires.
