Summary

In this quote, the prisoner realizes that he is being subjected to a common interrogation tactic known as "Good Cop, Bad Cop." Here, the prisoner assumes the role of the Good Cop while Vimes, the interrogator, is the Bad Cop. However, Vimes dismisses the traditional roles, highlighting the shortage of staff and suggesting a more straightforward approach. Offering the prisoner a cigarette, Vimes sarcastically requests him to kick himself in the teeth, implying that remaining cooperative during the interrogation would be more productive than trying to manipulate the situation.
