Police Grill Ipkiss Over Pajamas, Explained：beat him to the punch
A lieutenant shows up with the Coco Bongo pajamas and asks where Ipkiss was last night. The alibi is a stolen drawer. Underneath, the same man later tells a coworker "I haven't exactly been myself lately", the closest he comes to saying he was not himself last night.
あらすじ
At home a lieutenant asks about the mask and pajamas from the Coco Bongo. Someone says they were stolen. Cash prints do not match Tyrrell's men, so the order is to check Stanley Ipkiss. Elsewhere, word goes out to bring the green-faced man in alive. At the bank a late clerk talks back, then admits he has not been himself, and is handed two charity-ball tickets.

What's really going on
The pajamas are a joke and a threat. Someone robbed the bank and turned up at the Coco Bongo, and the lieutenant treats those pajamas as proof there is only one suspect. The speech about a stolen drawer is panic dressed as civic outrage, a man grieving that his pajama drawer is no longer safe. At the station the case splits. Prints do not match Tyrrell's men, and "This guy beat him to the punch" means the green-faced robber got there first. That is why the order is to bring him in alive, and why a kiss at the club turns into a test of loyalty. "You weren't putting up much of a fight" is less about the kiss than about whose side someone is on. The bank repeats the crack: a late clerk answers a scolding with the IRS and Club Fed, then retreats into "I haven't exactly been myself lately." Two tickets to the Coco Bongo pull him toward the room where the pajamas were found.

I haven't exactly been myself lately.Right after the clerk shocks the room by threatening his boss, this hedges the outburst: he knows he did not act like his usual self, and he will not explain why.
All I need is prints to lock this whack job up till doomsday.Spoken at the station after the prints fail to match Tyrrell's men: the speaker wants Stanley Ipkiss's fingerprints and a sentence that effectively never ends.
It's going to be payback for anybody who crosses me.It follows the argument about the kiss. Anyone who opposes the speaker, the green-faced stranger or the person in the room, is being promised punishment.
There can't be two idiots with pajamas like these.The lieutenant links the bank robbery to what he found at the Coco Bongo. The pajamas are so loud that, to him, only one person in the city would wear them.
このシーンについての質問
Why do the pajamas make Ipkiss a suspect?
The questioner says the masked man robbed the bank and that the pajamas were found at the Coco Bongo. "There can't be two idiots with pajamas like these" treats the outfit as unique, so the matching pair at home identifies the suspect.
Why check the fingerprints of Stanley Ipkiss?
Prints on the currency do not match Tyrrell's men, and "This guy beat him to the punch" means another man reached the bank first. Ipkiss works there. Someone then asks if it was an inside job, and the next line says prints alone would be enough to lock the robber up till doomsday.
Does anyone settle whether the kiss was a choice?
No one gets the last word. One speaker says the other barely fought when the masked man tried to kiss them. The reply is "Did it look like I had much of a choice?" What comes back is "Maybe you did" and "Maybe you didn't." The scene leaves it open, then promises payback for anybody who crosses the speaker.
Why does the late clerk threaten his own boss?
He arrives an hour late and gets a lecture about slovenly behavior. He answers by threatening to tell the boss's father, and the IRS, that the bank is being run like a personal piggy bank, with Club Fed as the punchline. A coworker calls it genius. "I haven't exactly been myself lately" is the only explanation he offers.
