Initially, his smart-ass, flippant and immature behaviour makes him look like he's just going to be a dumb goofball detective — until he reveals he got there several minutes before Santiago, dug around the place on a hunch, and located a camera that secretly recorded the burglars as they were robbing the place, having correctly deduced that in a store full of cameras at least ''one'' had to have seen something useful. The scene thus clearly establishes him as immature and goofy, but smart and competent at his job.
