Oh, Mr.

Hobson, nice thread.

Heavy date tonight, huh? It's business.

Oh, a Saturday night?

Bummer.

Business, huh?

You're wearing cologne.

Even I comb my hair and shower once in a while.

So, what's your name? Who?

Your date.

Wendy. I knew it. I want details.

You want details?

Well, she's about, oh, I'd say 90, 100 foot long. She weighs about 90 tons.

10 .37 tonight, she's going to blow up in Lake Michigan.

Well, maybe you'll meet someone nice.

Kennedy, where the hell are you? The boat leaves in five minutes.

I got hung up at the station. Now there's a bus stalled at Fullerton and

I'm never going to make it.

Well, we've been planning this operation for two weeks, and now you're telling

me I don't have a partner? You'll be fine, Brigatti. You always are.

Besides, I'm a lousy dancer.

Great.

Oh, good evening. Hi. Glad you could make it.

Tony Thurston?

Welcome aboard, Mrs. Thurston. And your husband?

Oh, stuck in traffic. I'm afraid he won't be joining me.

Oh, too bad.

Don't forget your name tag.

Oh, thank you.

For those of you joining our Moonlight Dinner Cruise, we

will depart in five minutes.

Yeah, listen, if you have a problem with the seating card, you can tell me. I'll

go out there and do it myself. Sure. I'll keep your account.

Oh, I know what you're talking about. There was a mistake, but it's all taken

care of. Okay.

Good. All right.

Oh,

excuse me. I'm sorry.

No problem.

Paul Kettner, isn't it?

Have we met? I saw you play polo yesterday. Very impressive.

Thank you very much. Oh, Tony Thurston. And it's Mrs.

I'm Amber Lamonte.

Miss.

Mr.

Thurston, you naughty boy.

Excuse me? Thought you could just sneak on? I did.

I know someone who's going to be very happy to see you. You do. Oh, Mrs.

Thurston, look who's here. I think you're making a mistake.

Your husband.

Brigatti. Sweetheart.

Say my name again and you're a fish food.

I get the most loose... today.

I love to save people's lives.

That's what I do, you see.

Your wife was just telling us this is your first trip to Chicago.

It's our honeymoon.

We're newlyweds.

Congratulations. How did you two meet?

At a party.

In a bar.

Actually, we met at a party in a bar. How did you two get together?

We met in Las Vegas.

I was performing.

Amber has a killer voice.

Really?

I do vocal stylings.

She dances, too.

Mostly interpretive.

Speaking of dancing, you wouldn't mind if I took my little bride for a spin,

would you?

Not at all.

Come, dear.

We're married, remember?

How can I forget?

Smile. It's our honeymoon.

Here. Your wedding ring.

You want to tell me what's going on? You first. What's with the name tag?

They gave me the wrong one at the door. Uh -huh.

Well, it could happen. What about you? I'm here to catch a jewel thief.

Cops in New York call him the Iceman.

New York?

Yeah. That's where he started three months ago. Since then, he's hit San

Francisco and now Chicago.

You mean there's a jewel thief here right now?

You were just talking to him.

Becker?

Paul Kettner, venture capital.

At least that's what he says.

Real playboy.

Well, if he's a jewel thief, why don't you just go and arrest him?

Because we have to prove it, Hobson.

I'm the bait.

Well, is he biting?

Not yet.

But he will tomorrow after I pick up a little something.

Say, the Lermontov diamond.

Lermontov.

And top diamond's worth a fortune.

Mm -hmm.

An extremely generous wedding gift for my loving husband.

Thank you, darling.

Yeah.

Wait a second. My partner got stuck in traffic, and you showed up with that

tag, Hobson, for the part is yours.

Dance.

Oh, I didn't know that.

wedding ring. Oh, thank you.

My husband is the most generous man in the world.

In fact, he just bought me the Laramontop diamond for my honeymoon

You didn't.

Isn't he a sweetheart?

I'll never forget Larry's words when he told me. He said... I gotta pee.

What a romantic.

Passengers reported smelling gas seconds before the explosion.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

I'm checking the equipment. Last I heard, that was my job.

Oh, well, good. I'll need your name for my report.

Report? That's right, Harbor Patrol.

This is a vessel inspection. This is a spot check.

Listen, pal, every pipe, bolt, and fitting in this engine room is A -number

Then how come I smell gas?

Ah, so it's day shift, guys.

Holy... One spark and we'd have been halfway to China.

Hey, you're not going to report this, are you, mister? I'll take care of those

guys, I swear. This will never happen again. Well, it better not.

Thanks, mister.

You know, it has been a pleasure meeting you two.

You are so lucky. Believe me, I never thought I'd end up with a man like this.

Well, if she hadn't snagged you, I would grab you for myself.

Well, 50 % of all marriages end in divorce, so maybe we should stay intact.

Just tell you, sport, when are you going to pick up that rock, anyway?

I wouldn't know. My wife, she makes a scheduling decision.

Tomorrow morning, sweetheart.

You wouldn't happen to know if George Jensen's Jewelers is close to the

would you? Well, you're staying at the Hilton.

Oh, so are we. Do you want to ride back in our limo? No, that's fine.

Thank you.

That would be great.

You know, if you like, we could take you tomorrow to pick up the lemon toss.

I'd love to. I'm a chicken expert.

Really? Oh, that would be wonderful.

Get the car.

I am not staying at the Hilton. Quit your bellyaching. It's a four -star

and it's not going to cost you a penny. Except for pain and suffering.

Listen, I'm going home and that's final.

Try it and you will spend the night in a cell.

For what?

Obstruction of justice.

You'll never stick.

You impersonated a police officer, Hobson. An officer involved in a

undercover operation.

You want to explain that to the judge, you want to come to the hotel with me.

Here we are.

Oh.

A honeymoon, sweet. How romantic.

That beats jail, anyway.

My husband, always joking.

Someone has good taste.

Oh, Larry, you devil, you.

He has a bottle chilled and waiting for me every night. Every night.

That's our cue to leave. Oh, no, no, please, please, they have some.

Some of the time.

Good night, my bird.

No drinking on the job.

Give me no drinking on the job. I'm on my honeymoon, remember?

Honeymoon's over.

All right. What time do you want me back?

Oh, no.

You're not going anywhere.

I'm not? You're staying if I have to handcuff you to that bed.

That's a very interesting proposition, Brigadier. Let's get something straight,

Hobson. I don't like you, but I need you.

Like I need a root canal from time to time.

You have to present me with that Lermontov diamond tomorrow, and until

am not letting you out of my sight.

All right.

That looks like I'll just have to rough it, won't I?

You think you're sleeping there?

That's where you're sleeping.

In your dreams, Hopson.

Today.

No kidding.

And here I was hoping to get last week's news.

Get your own paper, Hopson.

Right.

Right.

What

is

that cat doing here?

Beats me.

Get rid of it.

Now.

I'm allergic.

Stay out. I am not about to show up at that ball tonight. What ball?

The ball at the hotel.

Why else do you think we're here?

By the way, what size tux do you wear?

Oh, no, no.

Hobson? I'm not going to any ball.

You're my husband. What am I supposed to say? I couldn't get a date?

Well, you...

Excuse me.

McGinty. It's me.

Hey, where are you?

Well, I'm in the bathroom with the bridal suite over at the Hilton Hotel.

I knew it. You did meet someone last night.

No, I didn't. Look, I'll explain later. Right now I'm kind of tied up with

business. Hudson, hurry up or I'm getting in that shower with you.

Business, huh?

Believe me, it's not pleasure.

Let me talk to Patrick, would you please?

Patrick, it's Gary.

Yo, Mr. Hobson. Patrick, listen.

I need you to go down to Lincoln Park.

And there's a vendor.

And his name's William Massick.

And you need to pick up some Mylar balloons for the bar.

That'd be so nice, Mr. Hobson. How many do you want? I want you to get all of

them. You got it.

Goodbye.

Come on, Hobson. My time is waiting.

Later, will you look at the size of that rock?

Magnificent. The clarity, the brilliance.

I'm even more generous than I thought.

Here you are.

Well?

Well, what? Well, your husband just gave you a stone the size of a cantaloupe.

Are you at least going to give him a little kiss?

My wife has a thing about public displays of affection.

Didn't seem that way last night.

Hmm.

Come here, darling.

Wow.

Hey, you want to look at engagement, will you? How about a charm for your

bracelet?

You were enjoying that just a little too much.

Me?

I can hardly breathe.

Well, it's been a long time between feedings, Brigatti.

Trust me, the way you kiss, I deserve an Academy Award.

What? You know, the business appointment I talked to you about.

Excuse me.

It's because I insulted you, isn't it?

No, it's just that... Look, I've got things I've got to do.

Because I kicked you?

No. No, but that hurt.

Look, I was just kidding about you being a bad kisser.

You're not bad.

Not bad?

You're okay.

Okay?

You're pushing it, Hopson.

Well, you're okay, too.

All right, go.

What time do you want me back to the ballroom? Oh, don't worry about it.

What?

I'll make an excuse for you.

I can go.

Well,

thanks.

Yeah, give me one dog, would you?

I would muster.

That dog.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Next time, try to keep a hold on him, huh? I will.

Honey, new shoes for tonight.

Well, it's not a diamond.

You're not going with her?

No, I'm just getting away.

Besides, I want to make sure you get to your room safely.

Precious cargo.

Oh, I'm sure I'll be fine. You never can be too careful.

Will you be wearing the Lamontos? Of course.

Every woman there will be envious of you.

And every man will be envious of your husband.

What company?

Some other company.

Just one drink.

I wouldn't want Amber to get the wrong idea. Let me worry about Amber. Okay.

You know, on second thought, I think I'll take a rain check on that drink.

Oh, don't forget to put a mint on my pillow.

I'm sorry, ma 'am, but those are only for big tippers.

On a city paycheck? Are you kidding?

Was it that cat in there?

Yeah. Oily, huh?

Hey, where are you going?

Oh, I'm going to put this in the safe and then go check out the ballroom.

You're the boss.

Keep an eye on my diamond.

Hello?

Thank you.

Hudson!

We got you, old Hudson. We got you.

Take it down.

You saved my life.

What are you doing up here anyway?

The view is nice.

I guess I got off on the wrong floor.

The paper.

Forget about it anymore.

It doesn't look too deep.

No need for stitches.

Yeah, that's good.

I was worried you were going to pull out rusty needles from fishing wire.

You all right?

Guess I'm still just a little shaky.

Out there on that ledge, I knew any minute I was going to die.

Alone.

If you hadn't shown up when you did, I... Why'd you come back?

I don't know. I figured you needed someone to look after you, I guess.

Don't I make you crazy?

You don't make me crazy all the time, Brienne.

Not all the time?

Not some of the time you're okay.

Okay.

You're pushing it, Briani.

Hello? Is Gary Hobson there?

It's for you.

Huh?

Here. Hello?

You want to give me an ETA?

Hey, I'm gonna be tied up a little bit longer.

Right. On business.

Actually, I lost the paper, you see.

What?

I think there's gonna be a jewel hunt tonight, but I don't know what's gonna

happen. Sounds risky.

Listen, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, okay?

Okay. Bye.

You're not taking me to the ball looking like that, are you, Hobson?

Hello.

Hello,

me.

Perfect.

Shall we, Mrs. Thurston?

Absolutely, Mr.

Thurston.

May I cut in?

Actually, it's not customary. Oh, it's all right, sweetheart.

I'd be delighted.

I've never been this close to such an exquisite jewel before.

You like the Lermontov.

I was referring to you.

Well,

you're not going to leave me standing here all by my lonesome, are you?

Oh.

How was your afternoon?

Breezy. Oh?

I did some exploring around the hotel. Surprised we didn't run into each other.

Shame we didn't.

Just think of all the fun we could have had.

Yoo -hoo.

Larry, I'm over here.

Sorry.

Now, this is a slow dance, so we're supposed to dance close, like this.

Do you like my dress?

Very much.

I had a devil of a time getting into it, but fortunately it's much easier to get

out of.

Just... It slips right off like butter off a hot potato.

Oh, you like potatoes, don't you?

Your husband and I seem to have a lot in common.

Oh?

You're both enamored of the same kind of woman?

I don't think so.

Do you know what I like about you?

Well, you know what? I want money, Goodyear.

No, I... I want money.

You want money, silly.

Paul, he's a bit of a stuffed shirt, but you, you're just a regular fella.

Looks like you work out, too.

My job keeps me pretty active.

Nice clothes.

I'm sorry, did I step on your toe? I cut my heel.

The pleasure was...

Excuse me.

Have a nice time?

Not as nice as you, apparently.

It's my job. Tough duty.

If you'd have been dancing any closer to that bimbo, you'd have been inside her

dress. You know, I was being polite.

Is that what you call it?

You know, it sounded to me like you think I was interested in her. It's not

jealousy.

Jealousy? Don't flatter yourself, Hopson. I couldn't care less who you

with. It's not like we're actually married, you know? It's just an act.

Oh, I'm well aware of that.

Tell you another thing, if I was married to you and you acted like that, I'd

shoot you. But you wouldn't have to, because if I was married to you, I'd

myself. Here you go.

To, um, the happy couple.

The necklace?

Still here.

Where's Paul?

Child PD, everybody freeze. Stay where you are. I'll seal all the exits. Nobody

goes in or out without my say so. Detective,

we found this hooked up to a fuse box.

What's going on?

We're here to catch a thief.

How about we start with you?

What do you think, I stole their watch?

Among other things.

Search him.

I don't believe this.

What, you think I'm that guy, the ice man?

Check his shoes.

I thought you were from Cleveland.

Nothing. I could have told you that.

Allow me.

Well, I hoped that we would eventually get around to this, but, you know,

somehow I pictured it differently.

Take off your jacket.

He's not going to find anything.

I've never seen that before, I swear.

Copper. I did not put that watch in there. I didn't even know you had a

pocket back there, did you? I didn't. We'll talk about it down at the station.

I don't believe it.

That creep.

That must be a terrible shock.

I'll see.

I mean, all this time he's been stealing fabulous jewelry, and what do I get? A

lousy charm for my bracelet.

See, does that mean you're a cop, too?

No, I was just helping out.

So does that mean you're not married?

That's right.

Dating?

Not even close.

Really?

Before you start salivating, dollface, you're going to have to answer a few

questions about your boyfriend.

The old one.

I'll be back.

Room 707.

Looks like it's your lucky night, Hobson.

You, uh... Do you need me for anything else?

No. We're finished.

To give to caller number 10 on the K -phone right now.

It's 6 .30.

You're tuned to Chicago's number one radio station with news.

I'd like to stay in the four -star hotel.

Yeah.

Don't get used to it.

I'm in tough stone.

That's the time.

Is this a joke?

What? Where's the diamond?

You're holding it.

This isn't the Lermontov.

This is a fake.

I need to talk to Detective Brigatti.

She's busy.

Yeah, well, I... Brigatti, I want answers and I want them now.

It was your operation, you planned it, you were the officer in charge, and I am

holding you personally responsible.

If you didn't take that diamond, then who the hell did? The department

guaranteed the safety of that damn thing. Which means if we don't find it,

have to pay for it. We can't afford that.

I'm afraid you can't leave town yet, miss. We'll have more questions for you

later. You have questions.

I can't believe I let that man pull the wool over my eye.

You're not the only one he fooled.

I just feel like such a chump.

Bye.

Oh.

Oh, Larry.

Well, I was hoping you'd call, but even better.

Gary, you can drop the act.

Act?

That straight act is in make -believe performance masquerade sham, honey.

Paul Kettner's no jewel thief, but then again, you know that.

What are you talking about?

Well, Paul is rich and he's well -connected, but he's not the brightest

the marquee. You, on the other hand, well, you're a different story.

Planning that watch on Paul.

Now, why would I do that?

Well, I think to hide the fact that you switched the real Lermontov with the

fake.

Cute and smart.

It's hard to find in a guy.

Most men, you bat your eyelids, flash little cleavage, and their IQ drops 50

points. There is one thing I can't figure out, though.

How did you find enough time in the dark that is to switch the diamond and also

plant the watch on Paul?

You're making it way too complicated, lover boy.

I made the switch in the afternoon.

How's that?

At the jewelry store.

Thought I was going to have to bludgeon your partner into giving you that thank

you kiss.

All you need is a little sleight of hand and a good Mr.

X.

Saw all the excitement last night. No, I couldn't very well leave in the middle

of the day, could I? I mean, how would I look?

Besides, the cops wanted a thief, so I gave them one.

That's very nice of you.

Please.

Pals are going to suffer.

As soon as the cops find out they've got the wrong guy, they'll go looking for

poor, dim -witted Amber.

Of course, I won't be Amber by then, but that's their problem.

I'll tell you what. Why don't you turn the car around? We'll go back to the

police station.

Sorry. I have other plans.

What, you're going to kidnap me?

I'd rather you came along willingly.

I'm a lot of fun when you get to know me.

No, thank you.

Didn't think so.

Too all -American for that.

Besides, you're hung up on that cop, aren't you?

Brigatti? No, I'm afraid that was all an act.

Sure.

Look, Amber, or whatever your name is, why don't you turn this car around right

now?

Or what?

Or what?

No. Or I'm going to take you to the police station, because sooner or later

you've got to stop this car.

Well, you're no fun at all, are you?

Such a beautiful score, too.

Hello. Why, Luppy?

The lady or the diamond?

The what?

Why, your girlfriend's in a whole world of trouble.

She may even be accused of stealing the diamond herself.

How are you going to prove otherwise without that necklace?

Stop the truck!

Hey! Stop!

Hold on!

Hey!

Hey!

She working on those boots.

What are you doing back there?

I just had to knock some ice off the truck.

Several other jewels stolen by the ice woman in the Chicago area are still

missing. Now that we know who we're looking for, it's just a matter of time

before we catch her, said the officer in charge of the investigation, Detective

Antonia Bregatti.

Wow, that's a good story.

Well, it's missing its ending.

You don't sound very happy.

I'm happy.

Well, you should be.

It's over.

Now you can get back to your routine.

I'm happy.

Right.

Well, when you're ready to talk about it, I'm here.

What's it take to get a little service around here?

Bugatti? Any leads on Amber?

I didn't come here to talk about her.

No? You know why I'm here, Hopson.

I could guess.

Well?

Well, what?

The wedding ring, Hopson.

What?

The ring I gave you. It's police property. Let's have it.

All right.

What did you think I was talking about?

I don't know.

Well, see you.

Oh, and Hopson.

Thanks.

You're welcome.
