Diablos and the blood squared off on South Decker.

We got two dead, five wounded.

Worst single gang incident in the last five years. Now, people, this is going

get bad, real bad.

But I strongly recommend that if you patrol on gang turf, you wear that vest.

Now, related ones and ones will be posted upstairs. Check them out.

Most important being Marcus Peabody, who's now head of the blood.

And Jesus Martinez.

Andy?

What?

Just let me know when I can go on, okay?

Sorry, I'm sitting here on the eve of my nuptials with two of my groomsmen and

my best man has yet to darken the door of Sam's tuxedo. This is roll call,

Officer Renko.

Thank you very much. Try to treat people like adults. Look what they do to you.

Look what they've done to you. Item six, Mick Belker's Operation Straight Flush.

Now, this is the try at taking down the illustrious Lester Franco.

It looks like it's turned into a loan sharking undercover.

And note, Mick says no cops will get paper.

He's working out of the Lucky Deuce on Arnold Street.

Last item.

What you probably already know.

Today begins what we hope will be a long and prosperous run for Lieutenant

Cayetano on the game show Lucky Ducks.

Which reminds me of one of the only three jokes that I know.

Hey, don't sell it. Yeah.

Which is, fat guy goes into a bar with a duck on his head. Bartender says, hey,

where'd you get the pig?

The guy says, it's not a pig, it's a duck.

The butcher says, I was talking to the duck.

Okay.

Let's roll. Let's be careful out there.

All right. For those who wish to remain to Andrew Rayco's Wednesday at 9 .30 a

.m. this morning, for an unforeseeable accident, please show up at Sam's

Waterloo's Acre Tuxedo.

Good morning, Howard.

How are you this fine day?

I'm fair, Ray. Just fair?

It seems that my Apollo has come down with a bit of a sniffle. I am sure he'll

be just fine, though.

Well, he's at the vet. Now, you know, a good horse takes sickness hard.

He'll come back quick, but he takes it hard.

That's wonderful, Howard. I'm so happy for you.

Are you doing that game show today?

The coordinator told me, start when you open your eyes.

Cheerful, enthusiastic.

Embrace the day with open arms.

And this, a hundred and one thousand facts.

Lucky ducks take its questions from it.

Do you know who founded the United States Coast Guard, Howard? Yes, yes,

Alexander Hamilton.

Lucy. Oh, Lucy, please.

Why can't you answer yourself these questions?

I see, I see.

Just one.

A hard one.

Okay. During the siege of Calais in 1346, in what township was David II of

Scotland defeated and taken prisoner?

Here you go, man.

Oh, thanks, man.

Heedlock?

Phony Heedlock? What the hell kind of name is Heedlock?

This is it. This is the description they got.

The call just said he picks up the racing form here every morning. The tip

in from Finnegan, man. A night ship can't make its own bus.

Hey, Finnegan's wife went into labor last night, man. Hey, why don't you grab

some more, huh, Ben? Come on.

Hey, this guy fits.

Tony? Tony, eat that.

Hey, wait a second, man.

Hey, we just want to talk to you, Tony.

Hey, help him!

Tony! Hey!

Slow down!

Slow down!

Please! Freeze it!

Hit the wall!

Let's move it! I didn't do anything!

What are you running for? Come up against me! I thought you guys were

run me.

I swear I didn't do anything.

You ain't got nothing to worry about, right, Tony?

Let's move it.

We just picked up Marcus Peabody, ETA's five minutes.

Did you have the raw files on last night? What, Diablo Party?

Four sightings of Marcus leading the blood. Nobody ID'd his. Did you

Peabody? Should have been at the Lucky Deuce last night, Frank.

Yeah, I hear things were a little hairy.

I don't know if you're punning, but I can tell you in a serious way.

Thank God for Michael Belkin.

Uh, did you run the particulars for Ray? He's coordinating.

Ray, Franco's goon paid me half the bribe. I get the other half when I rule

that liquor authority bus this morning.

The straight flush undercoat. We got Lester Franco by the proverbials,

Lieutenant. Whole transaction on tape.

I've done a heck of a job, Al. So, when do we swing the trap, Frank?

When do we close our jaws and grind these vermin to pulp?

First thing, I'll keep you posted. I really have to... Pass it.

Key body.

I got key body.

You got charges, Ferillo?

I have a promise.

Your gang did crimes last night. We're going to put those people away.

That's your thing, ain't it?

Busting who gets attacked.

And yours is seeing yourself as a victim.

We know the Diablos moved on the blood. It doesn't give you a license to kill.

Look, don't tell me my rights, Ferillo.

I stopped playing by your rules yesterday.

Your sad story interests me not at all, Marcus.

Yesterday you may have been trying to help. Today you're part of the problem.

This is notice.

I want a truce, and I'm going to squeeze you hard till I get it or till I get

you out.

Is that a fact?

Yeah, but don't squeeze too hard.

That's it. Make the mistake.

Blood gets no rhythm.

Every bus sticks, no matter how low rent.

So do we go hard on the Diablo shoe?

After we talk to Jesus.

We may have birthdays by then.

Hi. Hi.

I was trying to sell my mother's old car, and this guy who got hurt, Phil, he

kept saying the transmission was shot.

He didn't get hurt, Mr. Heedlock. He's in a coma.

Now, the two of you left the bar together?

Yeah, he kept saying he wanted to test drive it again.

So we drove it around a little while.

And then he asked me to let him off.

And sayonara. The next thing I know, I'm under arrest.

Is this rap sheet correct? You've never been arrested?

Absolutely.

I mean, come on. They bring me in here for robbery and attempted homicide. And

my mom will tell you, I don't even swat flies.

Now, do you think we can get to court before lunch?

Why is that, Mr. Hedlund?

I have a job appointment. I'm my mama's sole support.

Mr. Hedlock, I'm your advocate. Spare me the job appointments, all right?

You've got an out -of -state record, don't you?

What are you talking about?

Your rap sheet didn't pick up the out -of -states.

You're angling for a fast arraignment before the BCI check shows you've been a

bad boy in a few jurisdictions.

Look, my mom is going to meet us at court with some references, so can we

up?

Give me your statement.

Well, what do you all think?

I don't know, Andy.

Kind of bluish.

Funny, it doesn't look bluish.

There you go.

You think a dad is really going to fit in this? Well, it's almost the same size

as you are, Rudy.

No kidding?

Say, how's this color for girth?

You said you wanted a pastel. Thank you very much. She said it, not me.

Fantastic. What? Fantastic.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. It'll be fine, Andy. I don't know. These look so good, you know.

These cuffs are...

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, you crazy, man? Sorry, son. Instructions from the credit card

off the suits. We got a gig in an hour. My cousin's getting married.

You're going to blow the whole thing. That's not my problem. Now, come on.

off the monkey suits.

We don't want to make a federal case out of this. There's going to be 400 people

there. What are they going to do for music?

The suits come off now.

What is going on here, Sam?

This plastic's no good.

And they're making a federal case. Why don't you mind your own business, pork

lips? Yeah.

Let me tell you something. That man just asked you to get out of those tuxedos.

What? You want us to get out of these tuxedos?

That is real funny there, boy.

But I'll tell you what's funnier. You look right here at all my friends,

all policemen, and you're under arrest.

Hey, how you doing?

Hey, careful,

watch it!

Easy,

easy.

Don't crash the door, huh?

Look at this man. Who's going to pay for this?

All right, 2203 responding.

All right, that's it. Handle on your back. Hey, Joe, we got a disturbance

Stay put now.

All right, you're calling, guys. All right, get my cuffs.

All right, you got me.

Oh, look what this little mutant's done to my brand -new wedding suit.

Something I can help you with?

Yeah, I'm looking to borrow some money.

Looking for Lester Franco.

You can talk to me.

Franco let you make loans?

That depends how much and for what.

Joey, what do you say?

Hey, Mr. Franco.

Somebody here to see you.

Somebody who?

Marcus Peabody. So what can I do for you, Marcus Peabody? I need 25 grand.

Same arrangements you gave Louis Joyce.

What's good, Charlie?

You know Louis.

He's my half -brother.

I should not. Yeah, well, don't sweat it. I'll take care of it now.

Can I get you something from the bar, Marcus?

You know what I'm talking about. N .G., Mike.

What? I told you, anything controversial, refer back to Lester.

controversial?

A smoking gang, Carlos? Come on. And the purpose of this loan?

Would this be in the same area that Lewis was involved with? Right. Because

loan like this, Marcus, we get 50 points a week, plus a certain amount of

supervision, plus a certain amount of product control until the money's

satisfied. So when do I get the money?

Oh, hey, hey, take it easy here, Parnelli Jones.

Give us a chance to do a little credit work on you.

Now, Lewis, he's away, ain't he? He's in the joint.

He gets calls between 11 and 11 .30.

So we'll give him a call.

Ask around in a few places.

Ask about what?

About you.

Hey, don't worry. We don't care if you're late paying your phone bill. Let

tell you what you want to know, man, all right?

I got a war.

I'm going to move some stuff to pay for it. You get 50 points a week.

Hey, Marcus, don't get excited over here.

You're asking us to come up with a big number.

Give us a few hours to look into you.

Come on, come on. Be optimistic, you know.

Don't do me no good keeping my money in my pockets.

Come on.

I'll hear from you today. Absolutely.

Take in a movie or something.

What is it with this guy?

I was just telling him, Mr. F. It's my mistake.

The Moulinons, Mike. You're probably better off leaving to me.

Especially when it comes to pushing dope.

You're going to make him the loan?

We'll see how he checks out.

I love this little guy.

Always looking to get in trouble.

Come on, Mike.

I'll buy you a beer.

There he is. What's he doing? He's getting rich. People lining up, bringing

stuff. Egg shells, raisins, bugs.

My clientele don't like crowds.

What's he doing with the car?

What's it look like?

Hang on to this. I said 20 bucks for the whole interior.

Hey, I've got scruples. I don't need nothing religious.

Sir, is this your car? He towed it here.

It's a junker. It's a lost leader. I use it to get attention.

Does it belong to anybody here?

All right, sir, you're going to have to come with us.

I'm just getting started on it. No, you're just getting arrested.

What's the charge?

Public nuisance, okay? And if you don't come along, it's resisting. Oh, come on.

That's a crime to have talent?

Huh? People come to me with their sadistic impulses. I turn that impulse

That's all. I'm an artist.

I am an artist. Put your hands up.

What happened to your finger?

Oh, I, uh... He likes carrots, Doctor. If anything will get him on his feet,

it's... You know, I was just remembering.

Of course, this is without scientific basis, but we used to use warm water and

clove.

Well, it's bad when a horse lies down like this, isn't it, Doctor?

No.

No, you won't see any flagging of hope from this quarter, sir. And you do know

that I'm more than willing to come to the stadium.

Thank you. You do have the number?

What's the biggest thing?

Thank you, doctor. Natural or man -made?

Would you have to encourage him?

I'm just curious.

I'd have to tell you a billboard.

You ever eat a firecracker?

Come on.

Dynamite, fulminate of mercury, nitroglycerin.

Where's my pen? Where's my retractable? Maybe you want to be his manager, Rudy,

huh? You.

If you think eating my pen is going to get you out of here, you're wrong.

Hey, what are you doing?

What's fooling around?

I was bored.

This is a felt tip.

You're what?

You come to my place like that again and I'm going to tear you off.

Sounds like a threat.

That's a stone guarantee.

Easy, Hayes.

They came to the place without warrants. Their pieces were up.

That's great, Jesus. When did you become such a constitutional lawyer? My kid

and wife were there.

Thanks,

Lucy.

You best cool your people off, for real. I ain't lying.

The Diablos were in a pitched battle last night. I want some answers from

Anyone see me there?

Am I overestimating you, Jesus?

Diablos go for a payback without you in front?

I was at a motel on the parkway.

I got a photo of me and the clerk in front of a television at the 11 o 'clock

news. Sort of suggests he knew trouble was coming, Jesus.

What? Is that a crime now?

I don't buy it that you're out as leader.

Buy it, Ferillo?

I walked out of the war council last night.

I laid down my colors.

What would it take to get you back?

You ain't got it.

I need someone to stand off with Marcus.

I need a leader to speak for a truce. I can't do it. Not even if I wanted to.

The Diablos won't take peace as long as Peabody's breathing. They would if you

led them to it.

You want me back?

I gotta kill the blood in his colors. Are you willing to pay the price?

I'll save you the problem, Farillo.

I ain't willing.

I got a wife and a Joselito and life goes on, bro.

We're through.

I hope your alibi stands up.

Because we're gonna solve these shootings.

I'll get you a photo as soon as the role is developed.

Listen, Frankie.

My sympathies for your situation.

My sympathies for what's coming.

Okay, Henry Ross, the Diablo's true.

He's right.

It's going to be like 78, all -out war.

Would you excuse us a minute, Henry?

How are you?

Okay. How are you?

Where did you sleep?

Out of the work.

Did we ever have to be awake?

I don't know.

I don't remember.

I feel so totally strange, Frank. I want to see you so much.

Can we have dinner?

Is that all right?

Sure.

I love you, Frank.

I love you.

I'll take later.

See how your time's going.

I've got the mother of Tony Hedluck out here.

Thank you.

Captain,

I think I can help you with this gang thing.

How? Marcus Peabody comes in an hour ago and asks Franco to bankroll a drug

deal. We're meeting in a little while to do the loan. If you want to send some

guys over there, we can take them both. Is there any way to access the drugs?

Might be possible.

Franco wants one of his people babysitting.

If you'd like to take Peabody, hold it.

Okay. Let's follow this one a little further. Yes, sir.

Frequent contact, Nick.

Yes, sir.

Harry?

Nick thinks he may have a way to Peabody.

Sure I'm going to bust him for last night?

Let me get way out of line.

Everything okay between you and Joyce?

We separated last night.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Is it that obvious?

I don't know. I just recognized a look from when Rachel and I split up.

Let's hope it's only for a few weeks.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure you'll get back together again.

Anyway, anytime you'd like to talk.

Thanks, Henry.

I thought we were going to meet at the courthouse, Mrs. Huber.

Tony thought this might save time.

I brought his last pay stub, statement of an alibi witness, his rental lease

with his name on it, and here's statements of neighbors.

Tony's a saint in our building.

I'm sure he is.

Here's the number of the probation department. They make out the bail

Yeah, I already dropped copies with them.

Got to have Tony out, you know.

He's my sole support.

Tony. You're going to get him into court before lunch then?

Did Tony tell you why that was important, Mrs. Seelock?

He's trying to end run some out -of -state warrants. He told me it was for

job interview.

And I believe him.

Oh, excuse me, is that important?

It's all right, Lieutenant.

Good luck today.

Thank you.

I think I'm going to need it.

Hey, Mr.

Munich, that's going to get you some baby power.

You're blowing games, man. You're out of your mind.

Hey,

man, I do computer repairs. Sell the business.

Sucker. Isn't it pretty clear who we're hassling?

We're hassling you!

Mikey? Sit down, Marcus.

What's going on?

Coffee? No.

This guy Marcus came up with 40 different kinds of trouble.

He's not getting along?

Well, in the past 24 hours, he gets fired from a city job, croaks some PR

holding him hostage, and he's involved in a gang war. Really on a roll, friend

Marcus. Hey,

he wants to move drugs. He's not going to be citizen of the year.

Hey, now let's keep it friendly here, Marcus.

Let's stay smart. Man, how are you going to be smart, man? I come to you with a

right... No question about that. The problem is you're hot. I got a war to

finance.

You want 100 points?

150. Big don't make no difference. I'm trying to make some sense to you. Look,

either I move soda or I take it off of somebody else.

I know who you bankroll right now. You see, now you're making threats. You got

that right, man. I'll kick you up. Calm down.

Calm down. No, Jimmy, no, no.

Joey.

Just let go of me right now and we'll talk some business.

Let go of me.

You're this serious about this?

You're willing to spend 150 points for this?

That's what I said.

Give me about an hour to come up with the dough.

You know where this is?

I didn't mean to get evil.

I got a temper.

It's all right.

This is serious.

It's important to you.

I'll see you in an hour, Mark.

Piece some of that out, Mr. F. 150 points sounds very good to me. We'll

for the day here, Mike. All right? We'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, I just wanted to... Okay, stop giving me this conversation all the

All right, Mike?

Forget the loan.

Just clean this up here, Nick.

All

right,

come on, Joyce. What's the score?

We dealing with a scum ward here? Read the probation report, Your Honor.

Lease, references,

mother's sole support.

No priors.

Weak case?

So -so.

Just happened, Judge.

We're still working on it.

Victim's in a coma.

I wouldn't say this guy's a saint.

You're assuming he's guilty.

What bail can he make, Judge?

My clients informed me he's indigent. If he could get out, his former employer's

here. Judge, I would just like to say that the accused was one of my best

employees.

You can have a job with me whenever you get out, Mr. Heedlock.

Sorry, Judge.

Heartwarming.

Okay, step back.

Mr. Heedlock?

I commend you.

Mother made a fine impression on the probation department. You got a clean

record.

For these reasons, I'm sending a bargain basement bail.

$12 ,000, $1 ,200 cash alternative.

I told you my client was indigent.

Of course.

Well, then he'll stay in the pokey where an attempted homicide suspect belongs.

Please know, Mr. Hedlock, how impressed I was. Next case.

I keep thinking of the Mad Hatter. Excuse me, Miss Davenport?

Nothing, Your Honor.

Off the record.

Where do I pay bail? The indigent mother?

Buzz off.

Will our counsel approach?

Down the hall.

Hey, Neil.

I got Hedlock's FBI sheet. Man, the guy's run Funko in six states.

He's got two assaults and armed robberies for good measure.

Too late, man.

Gentlemen. Hey, Hedlock, nice.

Tony Northrup in Georgia, Tony Grumman in Florida, Tony McDonald, Tony Douglas.

What's Hedlock?

Oh, look, he turned around.

What can I say? I like airplanes.

Better soak for your day in court, man, or we're coming to get you.

Excuse me.

Heedlock, that was your case, right?

Sure. Why?

Well, I'm just wondering. You see, I'm a law student.

Did you know he had all these priors?

Have you studied attorney -client privilege yet? Yeah.

But I'm just saying, knowing that, as a lawyer, it doesn't make you simple.

I can't afford to be sick all the time, Detective.

I am a little nervous.

Can you tell?

Nothing to worry about. Everybody gets a little nervous.

Everybody? Really?

Why, of course. Most of them do just fine.

I'm just a little concerned.

I have an uncertain stomach.

Oh, very few people actually barf.

Let's have a hand for our next contestant.

Take it, sir.

Come on. What's up, you guys? You look nervous.

Friends say he has an arresting personality.

A warm welcome to Lieutenant Ray Cayetano. You ready to play, Ray?

Yes. Good.

Well, let's see if we can get you started before the first shot.

Come on, Lieutenant.

All right.

Here's your question.

What president made his home at the Virginian estate of Monticello?

Was it Thomas Jefferson?

Thomas Jefferson is right!

All right, all right, all right.

Looks like he got the groove up. Stay as close as you can, Mick.

Yeah, keep me posted.

Thanks a lot, mister.

For what?

The message you left on my machine.

Amazing as it may seem to you, Frank, I have a social life, too.

When you and Joyce cancel plans to take Frank Jr. for the weekend... We've

separated, Faye.

Who has?

Joyce and I.

Oh, boy.

She says she needs time to sort things out.

Says it'll only be a couple of weeks.

I don't know what happened.

Oh.

I wish I could think of some awful cliche that would somehow be comforting.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

You have your health, you have everything?

An apple a day?

Oh, that makes no sense.

Is it the other's dead?

He who laughs last.

If at first you don't succeed... Any port in the storm?

How about the oldest one in the book?

Your ex -wife still loves you.

your winnings to $3 ,500.

As importantly, that money will be sheltered in a Lucky Duck blind.

If you should lose in a subsequent round, that money would still be yours.

Are you ready? Ready.

A number of cultures can lay historical claim to the discovery of America.

Ray Cayetano, for $3 ,500 in your first Lucky Duck blind, name three of those

cultures.

I can only think of Columbus.

I can't repeat the question once. Go for it.

Go for it. What are you waiting for? Come on.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant. We could have accepted Egyptians, Thames, Portuguese,

Spaniards, Indians, and Eskimos.

Well, many thanks.

That's those ways. Sometimes better being poor.

Lieutenant. Mrs. Eadlock. Mrs. Eadlock nothing.

I'm not his mother.

I got taken.

I give that bum every nickel. He loves me. He loves me forever.

What'd he do, ma 'am? He ran off with his former employer, Gloria.

She's in on it, too. Big, wonderful Gloria with a big you -know -what.

Ma 'am, are you saying that he's jumping bail? He's jumping her. He's jumping

bail. He stole all my money. I want his butt in the slam.

You know where he's at?

At the hotel.

The hotel at the airport.

You think I'd do that for just anybody, jerkface? You ain't got the money. You

ain't got the money in a million years. Okay, okay.

What's going on?

They want to see me eat a finger. I live six months off of this one. High in the

hog. The best hotels.

You're lucky I ate a pair of pants for a lousy ten bucks.

Oh, Mikey.

Hey.

I saw the address Lester wrote. I just thought I'd come over.

Is that so?

Yeah, I want to be in on that loan, you know. I want to back that guy.

Come here.

Get in.

So, what's going on?

The color guy's late, so what else is new?

Let me ask you a question.

What?

You got a crush on me?

What do you mean?

A crush.

Well, what else are you doing here? What's this vibe I'm getting off you,

I don't know. Maybe I got a little crush on you.

Should I kiss the guy, Mike?

I mean, not like your father's.

Like a man.

On the lips.

No.

Listen, I gotta tell you something.

From the very first time in a bar, I had eyes for you.

I mean, to me, you're like a beautiful little monkey.

What's going on?

What?

Oh, my gosh. Hey, just calm down. You're not even supposed to be here.

What's he doing here? I'm just explaining unto him, Mr. Abb. He'll

Bring him to the deuce.

You're with him till then, Jimmy.

Ah, look what you did.

Thank you.

His fever's that high? What about his vital signs?

I'm on my way.

Mr. Hedlock, the grand larceny. From Blayton, Millie Hedlock.

There he is.

Mr. Airplane.

Mr. B -52 and his tramp.

They caught you and I'm glad.

Did you think I was going to stay with you, old bag?

You're too tired. Too ugly.

Come on, we'll take your statement in this squad room. Now come this way.

Two of them were in the hotel by the airport.

Just like she said.

Having a mid -air collision.

So soon we meet again.

Ship's in the night, Mr. Hedlock.

You're not indigent, and I'm going on vacation in two days. You'll be

reassigned. Hey, where are you going? Antigua.

I'll make bail again. I'll see you down there.

Okay, Mr. Hedlock.

Hey, hey, Renko.

Ready for tonight?

I have reservations on this rehearsal dinner, Joseph.

What do you mean? It's still Dekovia, right? No, no, that's not what I mean.

What I mean is I'm concerned.

It's my first chance I'm going to meet my new relations, and I want everything

to go perfect.

A little forks for the salads, Joe.

Hey, what am I, Conan?

Kubiak. 7 .30.

Bates.

How many?

Address.

Got it.

Captain.

You got a gang hit. Five bodies, one of them Marcus Peabody. Did Belker phone it

in? No, Citizen.

Where?

47th and Butler. It's a warehouse. They say it's bad as a slaughterhouse.

All the information so I can have the report ready.

One blood survivor.

He said he was mobbed. When was the last contact we had at Belker? Hour and a

half. We have to find him.

The Deuce, the Marine Club, the joint down by the ferry. Every one of their

places. Let's move. All right, Frank.

business till it interferes with my business.

Jimmy and I had this conversation a long time ago. No argument, Mr. Franco. Oh,

Mike's the right guy.

Mike's just following me around because he's got a crush.

Why should I have to worry about this, huh? Or what you've seen or didn't see?

You didn't see nothing, Mr. F. Why should I have to worry about it?

Now, what's it going to be between the two of you, huh?

Up in the air.

Because you come in here with a little fresh dough, you think it's a big deal

me? I'll cut your heart out as soon as I look at you. You want to continue to do

business, don't give me no more aggravation. You understand?

Yes, sir.

This is the police.

Lester Franco and all associates, come out with your hands up. I don't believe

this. This is a lot of crap.

I repeat, come out with your hands up.

Did you get them all? No witnesses?

Come on.

Great, Jimmy.

You just killed us.

I'd like

to propose a toast.

I'd just like to say, first of all, that I never thought I'd see the day that

Andy Ranko would tie the knot.

And you still ain't seen that day, Joe Coffey. What you are seeing is the day

before. Yeah, well, you'll be there tomorrow because any guy would be a jerk

walk out on a bride as sweet and as lovely as Daryl Ann.

So I just wish you all the happiness there is. Good luck.

Okay.

I tried to find a really great toast somewhere, but they all seem sort of

So I just wish you good luck, and I hope you have a terrific life together.

And I think you make a really great couple.

Thank

you,

Lucille.

Mr. and Mrs. McConaughey, I'd like to thank you all for coming and joining us

tonight. And I look forward to meeting all my new relations to come tomorrow.

Joe, Lucille, Neil, it's times like this when one realizes how close one's

friends are when you come and join me.

important time like this for me in my life.

And I'd like to toast my dear land.

It was the most important thing that ever happened to me.

I love you, darling.

All right.

And Bobby Hill, who had a small part, make me realize that.

God bless y 'all.

Well, I'm not much for making. toast.

I'm about as good at that as Daryl Annie is at taking precautions.

Daddy!

But I want to say that I hope the couple has a happy future.

And I guess with so many police, y 'all never have to worry about parking

tickets. That's right.

Or whatever part of town y 'all find yourselves in.

And I've gotten a chance to know Bobby Hill a little, and he seems like a real

nice boy.

Best wishes to everybody.

Well, now, I want to thank Mr. McConaughey and say it's a good thing he

me since I'm sure he's quite familiar with the old tradition that if anything

happens to the groom before the wedding, then the best man is supposed to step

right on in.

Well, I don't know what tradition that is.

But anybody runs out on my little girl, and I'm perfectly willing to take care

of her and him myself I Don't know what either one of you guys talking about cuz

you couldn't get me away from this beautiful girl with a tow truck That's

what anybody's talking about Andy So uh

you folks have a nice trip up You take

the interstate

I knew he was lying through his teeth.

I knew he wanted to get into court before his out -of -states did.

I knew he was going to skip bail.

And I couldn't have cared less.

If you had, would you have done the job differently?

Not caring just made it easier.

To be filed under the category of what kind of lawyer am I becoming?

You've always liked scumming.

I still do.

I'll have to stop by the apartment and pick up a few things.

You don't have to ask permission.

I wasn't.

If I go away for a couple of weeks, you should use the apartment.

I don't think so.

But I'll still have to know your plans.

Sure. I have to make plans, too.

I don't know whether to expect a card from the shore.

A phone call from your lawyer.

You think you're going to want a divorce? I don't think so.

But I'm tired of being unhappy, Frank.

I'm tired of feeling lost inside.

I need two weeks of solitary just to locate myself.

Is there someone else?

Don't you know how much I love you, Pete Smith? Then why is this happening?

Loving each other is no guarantee we can make each other happy.

Make me happy?

How can you be happy if I'm not?

The simple fact of you in my life means everything to me.

I don't want that much power, Frank. It's suffocating me.

Well, when you get back, maybe we should see somebody.

Get some help.

That's probably a good idea.

On the bright side...

At least we have our help.

I'm back.

Rain ought to settle this dust.

The content's a little high. We'll have to see about a softener.

Good boy.

My good boy.

We've got to get you shot one of these days. Damn city streets.

Try that kid with the freckles this time.

Yeah.

Can't find a decent smith anymore.

That was not treated.

I'll get splinters.

Faulkner.

I found that if you read him in chronological order, you see the depth

humor. He was some kind of a horse trader, too.

It's okay. You want to pass a little wind?
