Hey, what'd you say, J .D.? Man, it's getting nippy outside.

How you feeling?

Yeah.

Doc looked me over last night after you left. Said the wound's healed in.

He'll let me go this afternoon.

You sound thrilled.

Any chance you might be able to drive me home? Mm -mm.

I'm back in Sargent and Pop. Maybe I can get away at lunch. What about Lynetta?

What about Lynetta?

Hi. I'm sorry, but my old car wouldn't start.

You know, the doc says his bum could go home today.

Is it true?

Said the infection's cleared up.

Oh, now, that's great.

Well, what time do I pick you up? Hey, look, if it's going to be trouble, you

don't have to.

Would you tell me what time you want me to pick you up?

The doc said they're signing a release around 1.

So you're all squared away then, chap?

Look, I'll stop by your crib tonight.

I'll ride the elevator with you, J .D. If I hurry, I can shop for you before I

go to work. Hey, like I said, baby, don't trouble yourself.

Neil, why do you keep saying trouble? I have been waiting for this day.

I'll see you at one.

See you.

Hooray! On goings and undercovers.

Phillips and Don Levy for an ace vacuum cleaner repair.

A .M. Belker's a decoy carrier for the 106th Street Diamond Merchants

Association.

That banging is the plumber. He's asking everybody not to use the men's room hot

water until he gives the all clear. What's wrong with the plumbing? I don't

know. Four, memo from Juan at Motor Pool. Even plates only. Appointments

available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and next week for ND Sedan servicing.

What about the eyes? I don't know that either.

Five, we're still getting bum complaints from people along the Jefferson

Corridor. Pass by, do what you can to keep those vagrants moving along.

Finally, welcome the first tour officer, James Seabrook.

Now, Officer Seabrook is going to be riding with Officer Coffey on account of

Sergeant Bates. He's going to be taking over the squad room on account of yours

truly. He's on an undercover operation out on the street. Okay, that's it.

Let's roll. Let's boot a job. They're getting away out there.

New world record.

Ashton Wilkes, method of canine discipline.

Yes, this is Lieutenant Howard Hunter, and I am... calling to confirm my first

obedience class session at eight this evening.

I see. The advanced session?

Oh, no, fine.

I and my pup will be there at seven.

Miss Ashton Wilkes must feel that my sharp pay is precocious.

Cut and throw.

See? Again this morning, Captain.

Fair from sleeping in my doorway when I swapped open.

Look, we've increased the pass -bys in the corridor. My men are under

instructions to discourage loitering.

Unless the vagrants commit crimes, there's little more we can do. Never had

many bums.

That neighborhood was going up. That's what we all gambled on. Now this starts

happening. I've got to tell you, Captain, there's three different fellows

at the Merchants Association last night. We're talking about taking things into

their own hands. You tell those fellows that would be a mistake. We're talking

about people's livelihoods here, Captain.

Put yourself at risk.

You go out on the street every day, and you still ain't safe in the privacy of

your own pilot. Are you going to stand here fat -mouthed and wrinkled, or are

you going to stand yourself? You've got a mean streak in your body here.

You know what I heard, though?

What wrinkle? In New York City, they've got plumbers make up into $200 ,000 per

annum. You made that up. I did not. And if you think about how much they work,

that's like $2 ,000 per hour. Plumbers got it made.

Lieutenant.

Lieutenant. Gentlemen.

Now what? I took a shower.

I changed my uniform.

Still got to think about me.

Franco, I don't smell anything. I'm leaving. I got to sue somebody.

It's not just like I'm wet with water. It's like I got raw sewage all over me.

I got to put in for dry cleaning or something.

Mr. Rabino, I understand what I'm supposed to do.

I pick up at the parcel office. I go to Golden's. I go to Cohen's. Then I go to

you.

I know that, sir. I have that second floor, suite 211. If you're not there, I

use the phone from the downstairs lobby to call you at the other number.

I just said that. I will call you at the other number. Goodbye.

Come on.

What did he say? That's ridiculous.

I don't want to hear this.

Don't tell me that there's a snafu.

They say no buy money till tomorrow.

Is this how our bank examiners can keep us know the situation?

I mean, this is a total windfall collar. You heard the conversation.

But it doesn't make sense.

I thought it would take three weeks to line up a pop like this. To hear these

guys pick my name out of a phone list and we're going to lose them? When

tomorrow? They said they could issue it first thing. No, no, if there's any

delay, they're going to smell a rat. We're going to lose them if we don't

right away. Stan, no money.

We'll use my dough if we have to.

Easy, sir. No, I mean it. The buyout money has been authorized, hasn't it?

well, Stan.

All I'm going to say, it's out of policy. But if you want it, let's go for

want it.

What's that?

Yeah, we're just ironing out a few last -minute details.

Picked the wrong pigeon.

You're not kidding. We're going to bust these guys.

Captain, I think maybe I got this bum problem figured.

It's a lazy cop.

I hung out last night when these bums been showing up. I seen a Polk transport

van unloading them around 7 o 'clock.

Uniform driving, it's Earl Garrity. You saw his tag.

I was N .D. across the street. I know the guy from when I was up there before.

He was lazy.

He just didn't want to take them all the way to the shelter. So he drops them in

the quarter?

Right across the border from us and the Polk.

I'll call Captain Cayetano and let him know. Right.

Good work, Norman.

Celeste, get me Ray Cayetano, Polk Avenue, please.

I just changed out of my soaking clothes. Can't you get coffee in

No, I cannot, because Seabrook is a rookie and it was an undescribed fault.

Well, thanks a lot. Don't seniority care for nothing? Rinko, all this time you

were bellyaching, you could have been there and back by now, and that's a

Okay.

Yes,

I'm aware it's a serious accusation. Don Bunce is quite clear about what he saw.

Ray. Ray.

Well, yeah, if you want to come in, fine, but I don't think it's necessary.

I'm in charge here. I'm in charge here.

Hey!

Tall drink of water. We got guys who sit in the men's toilets and the room is

still flooding. How long are you going to be?

We're dealing with pressure here. I mean, you got a little inch and a half

squeezing things down.

I got to get my big two -inch in there to replace it. How long?

I had the best. Relax.

You're in good hands. Give me a time.

About 8 o 'clock, you and me.

I mean, I get cleaned up. I'm not such a bad -looking guy. Tell me when you're

going to be out of here.

At 2 o 'clock, you'll have perfection.

Thank you.

Delivery for Mayor Rabinowitz.

Ah, Mr. Rabinowitz.

Yes.

It's me, Detective Belker.

Oh, I should have warned you about the...

It's very good. I would never recognize you.

We have to try again on Friday.

On Friday.

Well, I have to get back.

Good idea.

Get back.

I'll see you on Friday?

On Friday.

you, mister.

I do stay away from my place. Are you okay?

I'm scared. What did this man do?

Urinate in the back when I come to work. It was John.

It wasn't me.

Yeah, it can't get Rose for me. He's got the nerve to come inside when I open

up. I get Rose here.

No, never got Rose for me.

I'm lost.

It's okay, sir.

My name is Toby.

Okay, Toby.

I'm lost.

Okay, Toby, let's go get...

Work this problem out. You almost bought yourself an assault charge there, pal.

I'm in the wrong place.

Look, in the morning, I get my trade.

Last month, people didn't come by on account of the bums. I can't make a

Look, I'm sorry I lost my temper, buddy. I mean, he just got a little confused.

Everyone's got their problems.

Swing somebody into a wall like that again, mister. You're going to have more

your portion.

I've examined.

All I am saying is I'm here because I find this accusation hard to accept.

Are you aware that I've instituted a second delivery of vagrants each day to

shelter? Hey, maybe that's your problem. Look, as long as I've known Garrity,

he's been a lazy hump. Is there some kind of a personal vendetta between the

of you? No, no, there isn't. Captain, am I done here?

Do you have any more questions for Lieutenant Bunce? I think I have all I

I don't believe one isolated incident warrants this attention.

It's a deteriorating situation, Ray.

We've had continual complaints from merchants in the corridor. Take a ride

Jefferson. See for yourself. The hill has always had vagrants.

You can't hold me accountable for a problem that's endemic to your precinct.

Nobody's holding you accountable for problems in my precinct. All I'm asking

is to handle a problem in yours. Do you think I can't? Of course I don't. But

you insinuated it. Sorry, you took it that way. All I meant to suggest...

was that something's misfiring in your deliveries to the shelter.

I will look into the situation.

I assure you.

I will keep you advised.

Sandwiches. Thanks.

Sir Henry, any luck with the IRS?

Luck? Yeah, I'm not in jail.

Mr. Jablonski?

Special Agent Dupree, Federal Depository Investigation.

Oh, glad to meet you. This is my partner, Special Agent Whitson.

Come on in.

Thank you. So, tell me, how did you fellas get my name? Federal deposit

matched against Social Security.

We get a lot of stuff like that, and in a situation like this, it really helps.

Yeah, I read in the papers about all this teller malarkey.

It really ticks me off. So you'll know, your savings and loan is the biggest

problem in our jurisdiction, especially in regards to miscounts on you elderly

people. Yeah, yeah, always take advantage of the seniors.

That's the name of the game these days.

Well, if I can be of service, I'd be glad to help.

My advice... I'm sorry, James, you're shabby at this. When you're in the bank,

keep your eye open for any suspicious behavior.

We don't know if it's a teller or a bank officer.

Could be the president.

Down there.

That's what we don't know.

So I got to keep my eagle eye open.

Mr. Jablonski, your thinking on this is 100%. And we certainly appreciate your

help.

This way, Tobin. We were at County Hospital.

That's right.

1400 Sycamore Street.

Let's go get that hot chocolate, pal.

Excuse me, Captain. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Sir, we got a wrong cop down on Polk Avenue, and if we can get this poor

individual to identify him in the PBA book, we'll try to get his name.

Earl Garrity. How'd you know?

Lieutenant Bunce spotted him last night. Captain Catano? He's taking care of it.

Thanks, Andy.

Hey, Sergeant Pate.

Thank you very much for the wonderful assignment.

You're very welcome. Now, where's Seabrook? With a deceased.

You call that coroner? Immediately.

Mr. Belker, this is Mr. Rabinowitz.

So, Detective Belker, where are my diamonds?

I've been waiting two hours already.

What are you talking about?

I gave you your diamonds.

Of course you didn't give me. Why would I be here if you gave me? We had a

conversation. I handed them to you right in front of your office.

Brilliant, Detective.

In front of my office?

Yeah.

Wouldn't we agree if I wasn't there?

You were there.

I was there? Yeah.

Bye.

Bye.

Maybe.

This is my thieving lying brother who was there.

Mr. Rabinowitz, I could be wrong, but this sounds like a family problem to me.

The man steals the bread from my children's mouths, and to you it sounds

family problem? Brothers in the diamond business? Sure.

You call the schlock Israel Rabinowitz sells diamonds? I don't know, but maybe

you two could settle this between you on business terms.

What do you say, Mr. Rabinovich? You want to give it a try at least? Will you

laugh at my face? Then I'll get involved.

Please, don't move.

You stay here.

I'll go. I'll get laughed at.

Then I'll get back.

How?

It's hot, Toby. You've got to blow on it a little.

Okay, let's see if we can find a police officer who dropped you off this

morning. No tax evasion, Robert. Mystery solved.

You know the cop's name? Oh, Gary.

How's your skull there, partner?

Okay.

Will you take me home?

Now, Toby, you sure you live at that address?

7312 Polk Avenue.

In it or behind it?

Behind it.

Well, partner, how about a hot meal first?

Fine. Let's go. Hot meal. Right here.

Yeah, hot.

Take this one, please.

Anyone seem suspicious?

Maybe this one teller, a little oriental girl.

Orientals. Who knows what they're thinking, right?

Well, maybe it was because I was withdrawn 1 ,800.

I don't do that every day in a week.

You see, by marking it, if we try a miscount, we can read it with the

No kidding.

Yeah, we've got the highest technology.

But you know we've got to stay current.

Fine.

I don't know.

Mr. Jablonski, could you hand me another one of these back there?

By the antifreeze.

This it?

No, it's further back.

Can you reach it?

Yeah, I can.

Tell him you planned on buying a vehicle or something. All right.

Ain't no strikes again.

Gee.

Kenny, we've got a problem.

Mr. Jablonski, could you excuse me, please?

this sort of thing. That's all. I just want to talk to him.

I said to the room clerk, how could you live with that smell?

Why didn't you just go in the room?

I said the guy's rent's paid up till the end of the month.

How's your partner doing?

See, Brooke?

He's okay. I just talked to him.

No coroner yet?

No.

He'll be all right. He's getting his second wind.

Thank you.

Doctor said that's okay?

A little coffee and lots of cream.

You're going to be around tonight, right? What do you mean?

I mean, you're going to be at home?

Right.

Where else would I be? I just wanted to make sure you're not calling double

shift or something.

place says they'll consider him if we fill out the paperwork.

Greenvale Hospital, 2319 Anderson Street.

Oh, isn't this sweet?

See, now it all makes sense.

Check out the name tag, Brinko.

Hey, Kim.

You rode up with me from Polk last night, didn't you?

I'm afraid.

Got a problem there, Officer Garrity? No problem.

I just figured out how I got put on report.

Einstein here goes crying to you.

You rat that frillo.

Everybody yelling at me.

All right, now you listen to me, Officer Garrity.

A, I did not turn you in because I didn't have a chance to do it. And B,

threaten this man again and I'm going to make your dentist real happy. You got

that?

Hey, Garrity.

Put that bus.

Nothing's changed, huh? You're still cutting corners.

What's that supposed to mean?

I figure you'll save 20 minutes, right, Garrity? Why drive them all the way to

Van Buren? Why not drop them on the hill? Maybe they'll stay up there,

It was you that turned me in.

People say you're stupid.

If I was you, I guess that puts an end to it, huh, Lieutenant?

What, you mean because of rank?

No, that doesn't have to be the end of it.

Well, you transfer to the right precinct, Lieutenant.

Up with the other stand -up guys.

As long as you say it, walk it.

Men's shelter don't open till five.

I get beat up in the shelter.

Hey, Andy, your friend need a room.

I don't know. You got something?

Well, the aroma's not great, but the rent's paid.

Toby, how would you like a place to stay for a while?

Hey, now, look, this isn't the risk. There's a downside to this. What kind of

downside, coffee?

Wait a minute. This guy ain't exactly got a whole world of options open to

Want to take a look at it, Toby?

Okay.

How bad could it be?

We'll get him into Greenville in the morning.

They have shelters for these guys.

Well, they do, but this particular individual has a problem in a place like

that. And even if we could get him in there, the other guys would just kick

out of the lines.

You want the door open, please?

Did somebody make a... Uh -oh.

Really like to help you fellas, but I just can't let an unregistered guest

here. We got our standards.

Oh, I can see that by looking around here, you see, but we have our standards

too, like that red zone, that no parking zone out there. We've been real lax on

that one. I always try to cooperate with law enforcement. Give him the key.

Come on, Toby.

$10 charge if you lose it. Let's go, buddy.

I signed this to witnessing officer.

Good work, Seabrook.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't get back sooner, but... No problem.

It's really kind of amazing.

After the first hour, you hardly notice the smell.

I'll shut that if it gets too cold.

Only if it gets really cold, Toby.

Now, look here, Toby. Officer Hill and I are going to see if we can check you in

the Greenvale Hospital tomorrow.

2319 Anderson Street. That's right, 2319 Anderson Street.

I'm hungry.

Toby, you just ate.

But... But I'm real hungry because my head hurts.

Toby, put your hand up here. Put your hand up here. Now, here's two dollars.

One, two. Okay? Now, you go down the stairs, down the corner. There'll be a

store there, okay? Now, tomorrow, tomorrow, if everything works out okay,

have a social worker come by to check up on you.

Won't you check on me?

Uh, yeah, if I can.

When? I don't know.

Whatever it is that I can do. Look, Toby, we got other things to do for our

Because you're a policeman.

That's right.

Okay, then.

Okay, then. I'll wait for the social worker, then.

Okay.

Where is she coming?

I don't know, Toby.

We'll see you, partner.

See ya.

What do you mean I can't have the money? That's $1 ,800 I lost.

That money was authorized.

Three weeks.

Mr. Stankovich, I can't believe what you're telling me. You're telling me

the money was authorized, but now that it's lost, I gotta wait three weeks.

You can't do that.

That's my own personal money here, I'm telling you.

You're sorry.

What the hell? You're sorry.

Excuse me, please. I can't believe this. Please.

I can't believe this day.

Excuse me. Please. My name is Israel Rabinowitz. I'm the brother of Mayor

Rabinowitz. I must see Detective Elton.

Israel Rabinowitz?

You got my message?

I just spoke with my brother, Mayor.

There'll be an interrogation, eh?

This way.

It's all true. I took Mayor's diamonds from you this morning.

But I already sold them and spent the money.

How could you do that?

Oh, I'm a terrible businessman.

I needed the cash.

Tell me, how long is it that I get for pleading guilty?

All right.

Hey, maybe you can help me a minute here. I mean, somebody must have made a

mistake.

I got this motor pearl caddy, spinach green top.

Guess what somebody by the name of B -A -T -E -S did?

You were parked by the plumber.

And? I mean, am I on an emergency call or what?

What are you, Dr. Plumber?

What are you going to guess? What's with this hot guy routine?

You said 2 o 'clock. It is now 4 to red to 3. I got men in there using the

ladies' room, and I got plumbing junk on every single floor of this building.

This is an antiquated plant. I mean, some of these pipes haven't been looked

in 60 years.

Everybody's an expert.

Everybody's the plumber.

You cannot function in a climate of negativity.

If I rip this up, what time are you done?

4 o 'clock.

Maybe 4 .30.

Is Detective Belker in?

Wait a minute. You were just with him.

Where'd he go?

He must be with my brother Mayer.

I knew it. I know this guy. Maybe you should come with me.

Please. What can I tell you? I feel like a world -class rat.

Just give me ten days. Get my affairs in order. Lock me up.

Whatever I deserve.

There's another rebellion.

Mayer. I knew it.

You're not Israel.

I know. Israel.

And that lying scum, since the day he was born, is my fine brother, Meir. All

right. He says you stole his diamonds.

Came here, says he's me, and says I stole.

This morning I said you stole.

Which you did. Here are your garbage -class diamonds, which I was going over

give you, to tell you the favor I did you.

And this, this moronic trick is all the gratitude I get. Let me see them.

Let me see.

Oh, yeah.

He is real.

Pathetic. Pathetic and predictable.

He'll switch the stones on me. I guarantee.

It's ever simple.

Totally out of left field. I totally wrote this debt off.

I put this in my, you're never going to collect this debt in a million years

column. You know something? I just had a birthday.

Happy birthday. How old are you? I just had a birthday waiting for you to get to

the point.

In other words, you didn't have a birthday? Oh, come on. Will you tell me

you're trying to tell me? What I'm telling you is I get a windfall payment

written off debt. I have to look at the currency from which it's just been paid.

My heart sinks.

The money's been dusted.

What's the baggie for? What's the baggie for?

You haven't been watching the news.

That powder could be a carcinogen.

What? What's the parole officer's number?

What number? What are you talking about?

What I'm talking about is you're about to do a deal and they fronted you marked

money. You're going back in, Sidney. No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait. I don't understand what I was telling you.

Bastard. What? The rest is, I actually, uh... It may be an aspect of a credit

card transaction.

popping here. I don't even remember. Where'd he get this?

It's a long story, Detective.

But she's in the process of making it up. Looks like Jablonski's stuff.

Yeah, Tuft and Potter on New 20s. And you put us with the guys who gave you

this? Two Caucasian gentlemen?

Middle -aged?

Yeah, that's right.

It's possible.

Neil, you're up.

Hey, you're here.

I could have done all of that for you. I wish you'd let me help.

Ooh.

Damn bats.

That's all right. What you need is someone like me to take care of you.

Everything at the apartment's all fixed up, and I've got steaks for dinner.

Hey, look, baby, I, uh... Really, uh... I'm dead.

I want to go to my own place tonight, okay?

Okay.

Sure.

Hey, come on, Lynetta. Leave that alone.

No, it's fine. I don't know. I just...

I can take care of my own things.

I can take care of myself.

I know you can.

Then let me, okay?

Okay. Look, I just got shot.

Nearly died.

I knew this was going to happen. Now you never want to see me and Kenny again.

There you go again.

You always take everything to extremes.

I was just planning on seeing Kenny sometime next week.

He loves you, Neil. We both do.

Then you got to give me some space, okay?

Okay.

Call me when you're ready.

Okay.

Will you?

Maybe I will.

Probably I will.

80 -85 % probably.

Aren't you the one always talking percentages, Neil?

You know, Lynette, I didn't want to have to say any of this today. Well, let me

take you home.

No.

Better if I take a cab.

wants to be back to work next week. Is that right? Did he say that?

Yeah, next week or the week after. He's going home tonight.

Hey, Renko.

What? Your old pal, Garrity.

Uh -huh.

Look at him.

Uh -huh.

Stay with me, brother.

Don't follow me now.

Where are you going, Garrity? I just don't like being followed. Do you

understand? Then just get back in your van and drive on out of this precinct.

giving me orders.

I only take orders from rank, not from you. I had Captain Taco telling me

how to run the street. Take them here, take them there.

Spend my whole damn day in traffic with a bunch of gimps. Now orders from a male

hip cop?

No way!

Back in advance.

Sounds like everything's everything.

Let's take him.

Could we hang a minute, Lieutenant?

I want to build Sidney's character a little. Isn't it great when everything

just right?

You got the money.

Take them, guys.

It's all there.

But this, uh, this powdery substance on your currency could cause suspicion in a

cautious person.

What is it with you?

Got a problem, pal?

Yeah. I don't want to get involved with law.

What is the problem, men?

Conspiracy to commit fraud and larceny by trick and device.

Possession of stolen property?

What? Possession of stolen what? These are the guys with Mark Money. You moron.

The bat brain. Let's move it.

What the hell are you guys waiting for? The Johnstown flood?

I'll take this one down to the garden. Be back in about ten minutes.

when you kicked loose after the arraignment.

Maybe the sergeant would like to contribute a small breath of water. Oh,

probably.

I didn't take both of them with me.

If you could see your way to a released detective.

Israel will return the proper diamonds to Mayor, and Mayor will personally

apologize to you for the false confession.

Okay.

release these two? God bless you, Detective.

I'm sorry, Detective Belkin, for my kishkes. So it, hairbreadths.

Just don't get the cops involved with this crap anymore.

Look at that watch.

So what, am I supposed to be impressed with the gold watch?

438. Okay, so you're done. That's great.

Come here a minute.

Hey, I'm glad you're done, but I've got a ton of work here. Come on, two

minutes.

Acturize me some more, huh? You think Pop can't knock the stuffing out of you,

huh? Come on, come on, come on, try me. I need some help down here.

You just better calm down or you're going to have an aneurysm.

Aneurysm? You think I'm going to have an aneurysm?

was this undercover anyway.

You're in business.

When this building falls, those pipes will be standing. What about the hole?

That's for the plasterer. Listen, take your time calling him. I'd like

to see this.

You're real proud of it, aren't you?

Yeah, sure. Why not?

I'm the best.

You know what I mean?

You know, frankly, I would like to punch you right in the mouth.

Oh, it sounds hot.

What about our undercover?

We've got a good case.

Maybe next year.

This morning, I saw you eyeing some of Mayor Stone's detectives.

If you need something, I'm grateful Israel Rabinovich stands ready to serve.

At 20 % off wholesale. Make sure it's the wholesale price for glass.

Mr.

Goudger speaks.

Whatever price he makes, I go lower. Spike merchant driver!

hands after shift, Stephanie. Care to join us?

Yeah, why not?

You know, just speaking for me and my partner, we really appreciate the way

handled things, Stephanie.

Yeah, you did pretty good. See you later.

Yeah.

That's it. Brisk, bold steps, but not overreaching and not falling back.

A synchronous gait that unites man and doggy in an orderly unit of motion.

Good. Good, very good. And now...

You all did well.

Extremely well.

But let them know it.

Let them feel your affection.

That's right.

That's right.

Pat them with good, firm hands.

Yes. Yes, that's what they want to feel.

Well, Lieutenant Hunter, you seemed very much in tune with your animal. Oh,

well, thank you. The Emperor Lao Tzu and I have been working very hard. And, of

course, we'll continue the classes.

Oh, then you weren't bored.

I was so worried that I would fall short of your standards.

Oh, no, no.

On the contrary, you radiate a certain energy that I haven't felt since I was

OCS. I can't tell you what your praise means to me. Well, when I thought of

teaching obedience to a man of your own remarkable background, I must admit that

I was a tiny bit, well, uncertain.

Miss Ashton Wilkes, I promise you that you possess that ephemeral quality that

one rarely encounters outside the sphere of martial command.

Oh, to hear that from you.

Well, I meant it.

Well, I... I mustn't neglect the others.

Oh, yes, very good.

I should be carrying it. It's light.

Um, I want you to sit down for a second.

Just let me unpack. Now, this will just take a minute. Come on.

Will you let me take off my coat? Sit.

All right.

What?

I think the reason I've been so worried is because we're doing everything...

I don't know.

We're not doing things in the right order.

You and me, we live together.

Now we're going to have a baby.

And that's just not doing things in the right order.

Here. I stopped by Hoyle's on my way home.

What do you think?

I don't mean about that. What do you think about the big thing?

The big thing?

You mean about us getting married?

I didn't want to ask you that way.

I wanted to do it this way.

I think we should be married.

Why didn't you come up, Ray? I wanted to talk out here.

Could we walk? My car is up the block.

What's up?

I'm thinking of resigning, Frank.

Why? Because for all my good intentions, I simply am not good enough.

I misjudge. I lose respect.

A little soon.

And I am so naive to request the livers to a shelter two precincts away and not

to expect any problems from the men.

Why did you?

Obviously for the homeless on the streets.

with the cold weather, with the increase from the mental hospitals.

Naive!

You're upset, Ray, and you're lacerating yourself.

But really, it's too early for us to know if you're made for the job.

What did you do with Garrity?

Border rights, insubordination, neglect of duty.

Sounds in a ballpark to me. Everything you're telling me about your command

sounds reasonable.

Really?

Really. Your late shoulder deliveries are a first -rate idea. I may try them

myself.

Awesome.

I'd like to apologize for this morning.

Ray, you're too hard on yourself.

In truth, I always model myself after you totally.

I hold myself to your standards.

Well, I've sure made plenty of mistakes and I haven't quit yet.

Thank you, I understand.

Manager!

I told you there was no answer, but just open up the door, please.

You sure this is the police bin?

He's probably walking around out there someplace.

Worried something might have happened to him. The only store I sent him to is

closed.

Don't worry about him, officer.

God always takes care of that kind.

And you're doing a good job of telling me.
