Don't move.

He was going for his wallet, Pete.

He should have kept it in his pants like
everybody else.

Good work, Blake.

I hate to tell you this, but you can't
shoot a guy just because he keeps his

wallet in the wrong pocket.

Oh, gee, boss, I didn't realize he was
one of them liberal types.

This is no joke, Pete.

If this happened in real life, you'd be
in trouble.

Well, this isn't real life. It's an act.

Well, the point is, the guy reaches in
real quick like Willie did.

He's going for his gun.

No. The point is, you never should have
been in this situation to begin with.

When he went down, you froze for a
second. That's natural. You thought the

danger was over.

Guys, what should he have done?

Kept coming at him, slapped the cuffs
on.

That's right. Very smart, Stanley,
especially coming from a guy who was

his death at the time.

The point is, get the cuffs on. Then you
don't have to worry about what he's

grabbing. He ain't grabbing anything.

All you guys remember, the best way to
handle a tough decision is to avoid it

the first place.

Don't feel bad.

It's what these training sessions are
for.

That was a bad move, Uncle Arnie. Don't
worry about me. Just see if you can get

yourself out of this mess I got you
into.

Checkmate.

You got out of it.

You're really hot tonight. You want to
play another one?

I don't think so.

Something wrong?

No.

Well, how about I do a little work?

I got this new idea for a business.

You know, I figured out why some of my
other ideas never reached their full

potential. In other words, they bombed.

I'm an idea man.

I'm not an executive type.

No kidding.

This time, I'm just going to come up
with a concept and sell out.

Hey, Dave, I could use a little help.
You interested?

You want me to help?

Probably just wants to use your
computer.

How can you be so cynical?

Cynicism is a sign of social
maladjustment. Did you know that?

Come on.

Let's go watch the sports. We'll start
in a minute.

I think I can help Uncle Arnie with his
business.

Okay.

Hey, would it be okay if we used the
computer for a few minutes?

Okay.

Honey, why do you have to be so hard on
Arnie all the time?

He's harmless.

Oh, I guess it's because of all the
times he slept under our roof and eaten

food and borrowed our money, which he
never gives back.

And he never once said thank you.

Tell me something.

Did you have a rough day?

Remember a New York City cop named
Walter Cody?

Yeah.

That was really sad.

Well, his son Peter's one of my guys.

Is he a good cop?

He's experienced.

Six years down in the city.

He just transferred up here last year.

He's got guts.

A lot of the guys look up to him, that's
for sure.

But is he a good cop?

He's coming today, Tony.

Who?

William T.

Rathbone, otherwise known as The
Hatchet.

Oh.

When I was at the fire department, he
cut staff by 20%. At Water and Power, it

was more like 30%. Everybody's a little
nervous.

Not you, though, huh?

I'm a temp.

Can't be fired if you ain't been hired.

Good point.

Anyhow, nobody's going to be decimating
the Eastbridge PD.

Believe me.

This guy's got the mayor and the city
council behind him. They haven't turned

down a single one of his recommendations
yet. I've handled bean counters before.

The hatchet's supposed to be different,
Tony. Big time.

Are you saying he's out of my league?

Freddie. Yeah, boss.

Some of the guys...

Some of the guys had trouble finding the
training session yesterday. I need some

arrow signs to post along the way.

Arrow signs?

Yeah, you know, signs with arrows on
them so the guys know where to go.

Yeah, sure, okay.

Problem? No, no problem.

Good.

See what he did to that guy down on
Hudson Street?

You don't take crap from nobody.

Uh, that guy Cody busted down on Hudson
Street?

His name wasn't Bill Wallace, was it?

Uh, no. Guy's name was Sonny Blake, I
think.

That's right.

Different guy.

Hey, Stanley.

What's the word on Morgan Heights?

Not good. I talked to Captain Vance down
in the city. He thinks one of the gangs

is moving in, setting up a crack house.
Can't have that happen. Yeah, Vance says

the way these guys work, they find
someone who's vulnerable.

Old people, single mother with little
kids. They kick them out of their own

and take over. They keep everything in
the real owner's name. That way they got

a good cover and they're in business.

The real owner's too scared to complain.

Yeah. Might be worthwhile spending some
time in the recorder's office.

Good idea. Get on it. Hey, Irv, you know
a guy named Sonny Blake?

Pete Cody brought him in last night. I
know who he is. He's late a small time.

You interested in him?

I don't know yet.

Commissioner Scali.

That's right. I'm William Rathbone.

Some people call me the hatchet.

Ah, well, welcome to the PD, Mr.
Rathbone. This is my chief of

Wallerstein. We were just going to send
out some muffins and juice. Don't.

It's a waste of the city's money.

These days, it all comes down to one
thing.

The big B.

The big B?

The budget.

Have you read my book, Guerrilla Warfare
for Executives? Or the sequel,

Guerrilla Warfare for Bureaucrats?

Recession's making everyone cut back.

No reason the police should be any
different, is there?

My personal opinion?

Crooks don't understand about
recessions. They just go right on

crimes. Which is why you have to do more
with less.

Cop Guerrilla Warfare.

It'll be the title of my next book.

Well, that might be great for selling
books, but out on the street... All

through history, great leaders have done
more with less.

Francis Drake against the Spanish
Armada, Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Cong.

Well, to tell you the truth, we don't
get many Viet Cong here in Eastbridge.

Laugh if you want.

Top guerrilla warfare is the wave of the
future.

Ignore it, and you'll become part of the
past.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to find
someplace to pitch my tent and get to

work.

Keep an eye on this guy or if he could
be dangerous.

I told you. I snagged into a door.

Must have a lot of trouble getting in
and out of rooms.

Yeah, it runs in the family.

My brother's got the same problem.

A lot of times when I see a guy just got
arrested looking like this.

It's because a cop did it to him.

Sometimes it's justified if the guy
tries to hurt a cop.

Sometimes it's not, and that's when I
want to know about it.

Why is that?

Because I want to make sure it doesn't
happen again.

Sure, you're my friend, right?

No, I'm not your friend, Mr. Blake.

I'm the police commissioner. I don't
like it when cops get out of line.

One, because it's wrong. Two, because it
makes me look bad, and I don't like to

look bad.

So if one of my cops did this to you,
tell me.

I'll see to it he's disciplined.

Hi, boss.

I heard you were questioning Mr. Blake
here. I thought maybe I could be of some

assistance. You thought wrong.

Get back in patrol.

Whatever you say, boss.

Hey, Sonny.

You be sure and tell Mr. Scali the truth
now, you understand?

Like I told you, it was a door. No cop
did nothing to me.

Nothing at all.

I used the degree of force necessary to
effect the arrest, just like always.

You look like you've been put through a
Cuisinart.

Funny Blake robbed that old lady,
knocked her on the ground, kicked her a

of times just for fun. She didn't look
too good either, you know.

We don't hold court in the streets.

Not in this department. Your job was to
arrest him.

Preferably in one piece.

I know what it is to be a cop. I know
you do.

I didn't have the

privilege of knowing your father
personally.

But I was a cop in New York when he was
killed.

He was a hero.

He died to save his partner's life.

If it comes down to it, I wouldn't
hesitate to do the same thing.

I believe you.

Well, then you know I got what it takes
to be a cop. I mean, what's this about?

Would your father be proud of what you
did to Sonny Blake?

My father was tough.

And he'd want me to be tough.

You gotta be to make it out in the
streets. Now, maybe you've been wearing

suit so long you forgot about that.

No offense.

20 % of your busts require medical
attention.

The average for the department's 8%. I
spend a lot of time in bad

Well, you've been looking through my
files. Maybe you found my citations for

bravery and my distinguished service
medal, too.

Yeah, that's what bothers me.

You see, if I thought you were just a
punk who liked whacking people around, I

wouldn't care. I'd boot you out of here
right now.

But there's an old -fashioned term for
cops.

The city's finest.

I still believe in that.

And I believe that you could be one of
the finest, just like your father.

You know, I was just a kid when he died.

I still remember him.

He was so strong.

He was so...

You and me do a tour together.

I see how you work, you see how I work.

Besides, like you said, never heard a
suit hit the street for a while, huh?

Okay?

I'd like that.

Hey, Freddy, how are the marrow signs
coming? Oh, fine, boss.

I just want to do a really good job.

I'm sure you will, but could you get a
move on, please?

I mean, at this rate, these cops will be
trained and retired by the time we get

these signs done.

Even so, there'd always be new cops to
train, wouldn't there?

Could you just get the signs done?

Ready? Okay?

Okay, boss.

Right away.

Oh, different color pencils for
different course categories.

Very smart.

Thank you so much.

We have more colors in the supply room.

Shouldn't you be detecting a crime or
something?

Nothing takes priority over the big B.

Excuse me, Irv. May I speak with you for
a moment, please?

Oh, sure.

I'll be right back.

What the hell are you doing?

Well, you told me to keep an eye on him.
I didn't tell you to have his baby.

Give the guy a break.

Well, I think you're right, though.

We've got trouble.

I think David's been a little down
lately.

I do.

I asked him about it, but he just won't
tell me what's going on.

Me neither.

It's almost as if he's avoiding me.

I don't know about that, honey, but I
think it bothers him that you and Arnie

fight so much.

And he loves Arnie.

And he absolutely worships you.

So it's very confusing for him.

Why don't you go and spend some time
with him? You know, maybe Arnie's got a

winner this time.

Bad chance.

God, you're always so negative, honey.

Why don't you try to find something
positive in all this?

I'll tell you something.

David would absolutely love it.

Go ahead.

Why don't you take Arnie some of that
cheesecake?

Give her like a little peace offering.

I don't know, Dave. I don't think we've
quite perfected the dial sub -function,

you know? I brought you guys something.

Thanks. Welcome.

You're welcome.

So, I'm, uh... What's the idea this
time?

Doesn't matter. You'll just make fun of
it. No, I... I'd like to know.

Especially... Since David's getting
involved.

The electronic elephant.

The what?

See, there you go.

No, I'm just trying to understand.

Electronic elephant?

You see, people forget.

But once I merge my automated phone
dialing system with my computerized

database, forgetting will be a thing of
the past.

Go on.

At the start of each year, people send
me a list of important dates, you know,

birthdays, anniversaries, whatever.

I computerize them.

Then, two weeks before the big day, they
get a phone call reminding them.

And a list of suggested gifts is
optional.

Hey, that's not bad, huh?

And you call it the electronic elephant
because elephants never forget.

Right.

Well, I...

I got to admit, there's been times where
I could have used something like that

myself.

How much will it cost?

Well, with enhanced computer memory, top
-of -the -line software, phone charges

including redials and long distance,
amortized research and development, I

figure that each subscription would run
about $300.

$300? Well, and the price would drop
over time, you see. Forget it, Arnie.

It's for an upscale customer. It's for
upscale morons. Oh, thank you very much.

Oh, here we are in Arnie land again. I
knew it. I knew it. No one in his right

mind is going to buy it. Tear it down.
You are so eaten away by envy about

any... Never

mind,

Dave. They laughed at Einstein, too.

That doesn't bother me.

Is something else bothering you?

No.

We do a tour up in Morgan Heights.

You know the area?

I heard it used to be nice up there.

There's still a lot of decent people up
there trying to keep it that way.

They're wasting their time.

Once the slides start, nothing stops it.

The decent people should just move out.

Neighborhoods are delicate things.

You push them one way, they may succeed.
You push them another, they may fail.

Kind of like people.

Let me guess.

There's a lesson in that for me, right?

I don't know.

Is it there?

Yeah, crank houses usually ain't too
hard to find.

Once they're up and running, yeah.

I want to stop this one before it gets
started.

You need somebody on the inside.

And I got the best snitches in the
precinct.

So I hear.

Not in this area, though, right?

I can get one anytime you like.

How are you going to get a reliable
informant overnight and in a

you never worked?

Let's just say I got my methods.

The Wild West days are over, Pete.

Don't be too much of a cowboy.

Drop the purse!

Police! Move it out!

He's a guest in our alley, and he pulls
a gun?

You gotta teach him some manners.

Hold it right there!

I guess cowboys come in handy sometimes,
huh?

Yeah, I guess they do.

Thanks.

I want

two surveillance teams in Morgan Heights
till we find this crack house.

Stan, you're going to head up the first
one starting tonight.

Peter, you take the day shift starting
tomorrow.

Actually, boss, I think it might be
better if I took the first shift.

Why's that?

Well, because that way I can wrap up
this whole thing tonight and Stanley

won't have to get his shirt dirty
because you know how Stanley hates to

shirt dirty.

Okay, fellas, save it. Save it.

There are a lot of people up in the
Heights who are depending on us to get

job done right.

Let's not disappoint them.

Stan, Peter, hang on.

I want you guys to cooperate with each
other, okay?

Even though you work in different
shifts, you're going to be sharing

information.

Figure this thing out together.

Stick together like glue till you get
the job done.

Goodbye.

Here's that deposition you wanted.

You're mixing oil and water, ain't you,
Tony?

I just hope they rub off on each other.

I spent the morning in the recorder's
office checking real estate records.

Now, I marked all the houses owned by
single people and also the ones owned by

people over 60, where that information
was available.

I always loved these things.

Have you heard a single word I just
said?

Oh.

Stanley, you don't catch these creeps by
drawing maps. How do you catch them,

Cody?

Any way you can.

Look, um... The boss said we're supposed
to work together, so... The boss... The

boss ain't a bad guy.

But the fact is, I work best alone.

You keep thinking, Stanley.

That's what you do best.

Sir Ballminster.

Sure.

What's your name?

None of your business.

None of your... That's probably a pretty
common name in this dog meat

neighborhood, right?

Listen, I'm looking to make a score, but
not with a basketball.

With a pipe, you know?

I don't know anything about that, Matt.

Neither do I.

You're a cop, ain't you?

That's none of your business.

Give me the ball.

You know, putting a round ball through a
round hoop, that's easy. Anybody can do

that. No, really, you should really
consider trying to challenge yourself

time to time.

Like this, for example.

What are you doing, man?

You can't do that, man.

I'm going to ask you one more time.

Where can I get a rock around here?

Hey, wait, that's mine.

Hey, wait, wait.

I don't know anything, all right?

Maybe I know somebody who does, okay?

Cut back on communications equipment and
reduce auto maintenance by 20%. That's

impossible. We're operating on the edge
as it is.

You've got to stop fighting me at every
turn, Mr. Scali. I mean...

Some of the items in your proposed
budget are outrageous.

$10 ,000 to refurbish the locker room?

Why don't you go take a look in there,
Mr. Rathbone?

I've seen junior high school
cheerleading squads with better

these guys have to put up with.

Think cop guerrilla warfare, Mr. Scali.
Cop guerrilla warfare. Do more with

less. What we got here is a basic
philosophical disagreement.

Police work isn't just another business,
but it is. It has costs and benefits,

just like making soap or running a
grocery store.

You can't put a price on human life.

We do, every day.

Thousands die on the highway, but we
keep driving.

Hundreds die in construction projects,
but we keep building.

You're a real warm -hearted guy, you
know that?

I didn't make the world. I just try to
see it like it is.

Yeah? You want to see the world the way
it is?

Drive around with me tomorrow afternoon.

For just one hour.

What's the point?

I have all the facts and figures right
here. I know how your department

to every other department in the state.

It would impress the city council.

They'd see that you really tried to be
fair.

And when guerrilla warfare for cops hits
the stands, if you can say that you

spent some time patrolling with some
real cops, it might mean some extra

I got those signs ready.

That's great, Freddy.

Irv will tell you where to post them.
He's in training.

Don't you want to see them?

Sure.

That's really pretty, Freddy.

Yeah, thanks.

I need a truth, though.

I don't see how they're going to help
the guy find those training sessions.

I don't know. I showed it to a potential
buyer this afternoon, and instead of

dialing us home, for some reason, it
kept calling a funeral parlor. I mean,

was embarrassing, you know, and it was,
uh... Well, it was a little depressing,

too, you know?

But don't worry, Dave. It's just a
matter of time till we debug the system.

Hey, what's the matter with you lately,
anyway? I mean, you know, all new

systems have a few bugs, and it was...
Uncle Arnie, do people not like Dad?

What?

Some people don't like him because he's
a cop, right?

Well, I don't know if it's because he's
a cop.

I've been reading this article.

It says that people think that cops are
rotten.

They beat people up, they take bribes,
and they take people away from their

families.

No, Dave, they put people in jail
because they do something wrong. Come

know that.

Not always.

Sometimes they're innocent, aren't they?

Well, mistakes happen, but... But that's
terrible.

Do you... Do you think Dad's ever put
someone in jail who's innocent?

No, absolutely not.

I mean, your father, believe me, he only
arrests guilty people.

But you just said mistakes happen.

Yeah, well, yeah, but your father
doesn't make those kind of mistakes

cares too much about the law.

because he cares too much about
fairness.

Yeah. Dad's great, isn't he?

Lincoln is great.

Schweitzer also is great.

Tony, um... He's like that.

But why do people say all these bad
things about policemen?

I don't know. People are very strange.
It makes them a little mad that guys are

doing for them what they don't want to
do for themselves, in this case,

the bad guys. I mean, that's a very
important job, and your dad does it...

Um, he does it, uh... Great.

Okay.

Okay? Now listen, I think if we... Let's
change the sub -function again.

I think that might help.

Why don't we... You want to boot it up
again?

I'd just like to shut him up for a
while, that's all.

Come on, Cody's all right, huh?

He likes to rile things up a little.

Yeah, well...

My shift's going to find this house
before his shift does, period.

Now, that's a prime candidate right
there.

Owned by a Mrs. Ortiz, widow.

She lives alone.

Knocked on the door a few times, no
answer.

Neighbors haven't seen her in a while
either.

But somebody's inside.

I know it. I caught a glimpse through
the window.

Might mean something, might not.

Listen. If we don't get any action in a
couple hours, we move on, all right?

All right?

All right.

Something's been inside the whole time
with the lights out.

It's not a crime to be in a dark house,
man.

Yeah, it's not a crime to ask a few
questions either.

Not a very friendly guy.

Send him back to the house.

Where did he go?

The back door?

He stole our car.

I left the keys in the ignition stand.

I didn't expect that.

I hate to say it, Stan, but I don't
think this is exactly going to shut Pete

Cody up.

Do you?

Okay, after we lost the car, which we'll
get back, I promise, we stayed there

all night, saw some people come and go,
asked a few questions, and we found a

woman named Mrs. Ortiz who owns the
house. But doesn't live there because

push has made her leave.

Right. We promised protection.

She's willing to testify. Ronnie's
getting a statement right now. We should

a warrant in a couple hours.

Good work, Stan.

Right?

That Wally man is murder.

The gentleman.

All right, guys.

Hey, he doesn't look so happy. All
right, fellas, enjoy your stay. The rock

star.

See you there, Tweety Bird.

Cody found the crack house, made the
arrests.

Already?

His shift barely started an hour ago.
Tell us how you did it. I don't know how

he does it, but he does it.

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I just found a guy
on the inside, and I, you know, turned

him around.

If you know how to deal with these guys,
they'll talk.

You know what I'm saying, huh? Huh? You
know what I'm saying.

So tell me, man, who did you get?

Got one of my best sources.

Never let me down. A guy named Sonny
Blake.

Sonny the songbird.

Sonny Blake.

The best snitch in the world.

I just wanted to thank you again, Sonny.

The way you tipped... Cody off about the
crack house and everything.

He got me out of the slammer early.

I owed you guys one.

I just wanted to take a look at the
place for myself.

It's around here, right?

I'm not too sure.

It ain't my usual neighborhood.

You scoped out the area, found the
house, talked your way inside, in one

morning, and it ain't even your
neighborhood?

Amazing. Look.

What's the problem here? I made the
call, right?

Yeah.

I got Pete Cody's warrant right here,
based on your phone call.

Pretty accurate description.

The layout of the house, where they kept
the drugs, everything.

Then what more do you want?

I want to know why, just a few hours
later, you can't even tell me what

the house was on.

What color was it?

How many rooms?

Two stories or one?

Did it have a chimney or not?

I don't know. It was dark, okay? What do
you guys want from me? The truth.

I just did what I was told. Give me a
break here.

Pete Cody's a cop.

He can make your life difficult.

I'm the commissioner.

I can make it impossible.

The truth.

Cody told me to make the call.

He told me what to say.

It went right out of my head five
minutes later.

Hell, I never been inside the house.

I never even been to Morgan Heights
before.

Only you know for sure, but here's my
theory.

You got a lead on the house.

How, I don't know, but it wasn't enough
for a warrant.

You could have staked it out.

Done all that boring surveillance work
the cops do.

But that wasn't your style.

Instead, you broke into the house
yourself.

Oh, now, that would be a crime.

Saw the layout and the drugs.

He gave the info to Blake and made him
phone it in like he had been there

himself.

These are pretty serious charges, boss.

You figure you get a warrant, bust in,
everything looks like Blake said it

would, and no one's the wiser.

Am I close?

I'd say you were.

Would it really matter? Come on, we
caught the bad guys, right?

I just want to know one thing, Peter.

Where's the car?

All right, I shouldn't have done that.

I admit I went too far with that one
there.

But I'd give six months' pay to see the
expression on Kelly's face.

I knew he'd leave the keys in the car. I
mean, most guys would, but God, God,

that was funny.

You know, yesterday I went up to the
Heights, and I persuaded a couple of the

kids to talk, you know.

And the rest was easy.

As a matter of fact, tonight I was going
to park the car across from Stan's

house tonight, just as a joke.

You've had enough laughs already.

Just tell us where it is and we'll go
pick it up.

No, that's all right. I can do it.

No. It's a cop car.

Only cops are authorized to drive it.

What do you think?

Now, wait a second.

Now, you can't do this.

Now, they're not going to press charges.

Come on.

It's a crack house.

It's not about them.

It's about you and what it means to be a
cop.

What's the matter with you?

Nailed him. I nailed him. No, Stan's
nailing him right now.

And he's doing it like the law tells us
to. You got a grudge against the world,

Peter. You don't belong in a police
force.

Son of a bitch.

I'm not a kid or a scared weasel like
Blake.

Might be a new experience for you.

I'm a cop, damn it!

You're a crook in a blue uniform.

You clear out your locker by the end of
the day.

I was born to be a cop.

Ask any of these guys. They'll back me
up. Put it to a vote. The Eastbridge PD

ain't a democracy, Peter. You're gone.

Nice and quiet so far.

X -ray 4. Come in, X -ray 4.

What unit are we?

X -ray 4.

Aren't you going to answer?

Can't. Transmitter's broken.

Should be repaired.

Well, we had to let go most of our
maintenance people.

The big B.

How do you communicate?

Excuse me.

This worked?

Works just as well as it did in the Old
West.

Seventh Cavalry used them all the time.

Seventh Cavalry?

That was, uh... Right, General Custer.

Listen, uh, just out of curiosity, how
would we call for help without a

transmitter?

Naval flares?

You'd see these babies for miles.

We got him cheap, too. Military surplus.

Look!

Someone's in trouble. Let's go.

Four guys just robbed a bank over on
Connor.

They're in there.

Keep your head down!

Here,

start shooting.

I've never shot a gun in my life.

No matter, no bullets.

We'll have to fool them until we get
more backup.

What? Just blanks the big B.

Screw the big B. We can get killed.

I'm sorry, Mr. Rathbone.

I know we put you through a couple of
tough minutes just now, but I just got

question for you.

What do you think of cop guerrilla
warfare now?

I'll go along with the locker room
expansion, but phased in over a three

period.

Fair enough.

And you agree to a 5 % reduction in
uniform allowance?

I can live with that.

Then we're done.

Our joint recommendations will go to
city council tomorrow morning.

No hard feelings?

Tell you the truth, Tony, I've learned a
lot here.

Thanks to you, Guerrilla Warfare for
Cops will be a much better book.

I'll be expecting an autographed copy.

Done. And if you ever need any financial
consulting, Bill Rathbone is at your

service.

Actually, there is one question I wanted
to ask you.

Is there any way a guy can buy a
business or an idea for a business?

without revealing his true identity to
the seller?

Sure. No problem.

Just in time.

Excuse me, fellas.

I heard you busted us on a bad warrant,
man. That's false imprisonment.

Yeah, uh... I apologize for that. Yeah,
well, you're gonna be apologizing to our

lawyer. Because we're still in the city.
I don't think so, guys.

See, the old one was bad.

This new one right here is good.

You're under arrest again.

They can't do this.

They're doing it. I know your moment of
freedom was brief, guys.

But I do hope you enjoyed it.

Yeah, well, we'll be out in an hour.

Hey, Pete.

Want to buy you a beer?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, do you guys want to join us for a
drink? Feel free.

$500.

It's unbelievable. Someone actually paid
for one of my ideas.

This guy calls out of the blue. He says
he's heard about the electronic

elephant. He asks for a demonstration.

He's a really strange guy, too.

Name a wrath ball or something.

Kept talking about the Viet Cong.

Anyway, he comes over. I give him a
little demo.

Next thing you know, I sold the
business.

That is great, Arnie.

Looks like Uncle Arnie had a real winner
this time, huh, Dad?

Guess so.

You know what?

I'm going to give you a share of this.

You mean it?

Well, yeah, we're partners, right?

If it wasn't for your computer, I never
could have done it.

When I cash this in, you get $20.

Wow. Now I have enough for that flight
simulator program.

Great.

I'm going to call Carol right now.

Oh, Arnie.

She is going to be so proud of you.

Don't you have anything to say?

What can I say?

Congratulations.

It's funny how this happened out of
nowhere.

I mean, the guy didn't even seem to mind
that the program kept dialing the

funeral parlor all through the demo. It
was like he was spending someone else's

money.

But the best part, it's David.

He's the only person in my life that's
ever looked up to me.

And it's... I think it's really nice
this happened on something that we

on together.

I mean, that's really quite a
coincidence.

Honey?
