All language subtitles for Simon & Simon s01e02 Love, Christy

Rick? Oh, there she comes.

Yes, oh, I know her.

Hey! Abram! Abram!

Uh, have we got the right address?

I thought you were the man for the job.
Somebody stole my car. I want you to get

it back for me.

We are in business.

This time we're not. This time we're in
love.

Well, we meet again.

Muchacho.

Nice car.

Speed limit's 15. I'm doing 40 and she
wants me to pull over.

It's all yours, darling.

Oh, my, my, my.

Tell me I'm not in love.

Yeah, well, five bucks says she won't
say three words to you.

You're on.

Marlo, come here. Come here. Now, Marlo,
score.

Go on.

Marlo, Marlo, come on, get back.

Get back now. You sit.

That dog.

Look, I'm really sorry about that. He
does that every time he sees a pretty

girl.

Listen, I just bet my brother over there
every bit of money I had in the world

that you and I could... You lose.

Words together, maybe conversation.

It's too late now.

No, you ought to try this. It might take
your mind off the girls.

Sure, I can think about hospital bills,
funeral expenses.

I sure hope your will is in order.

Better hope you're in it.

Did you get it?

Yeah.

There.

I've never been so scared in my life.

If they find out... Nobody's gonna find
out. We'll get it back in by tomorrow

night. Nobody will ever know the
difference.

Listen, now.

Oh. I said if you did it, I'd let you
buy me a drink.

I know.

Um, where shall we go?

But just go through. I support my theory
that by the year 1990, the rat problem

will be so entirely out of control,
they'll take over the world.

It doesn't leave us much time, does it?
Well, hopefully somebody will do

something by then.

My car.

I parked it right here. Where's my car?

Somebody... Oh, no, this can't happen to
me.

It can't happen to you.

The test, Christy, the test.

If we don't get it back, I'm dead.

You're dead?

I'm the one that's got to take the
final.

If we don't get it back in Professor
Linsky's office... He's going to make up

new one.

Then I'll fall for sure.

Or my father will disown me.

Call the police.

You don't have any clothes on.

I have my underwear on.

Come on in.

Glad you could drop by.

What are you drinking?

Have any champagne?

How about a beer?

No, thanks.

What should we talk about?

The card you left on my windshield.

It says you're a private investigator.

Uh, yeah.

Well, and other things.

Of course, I'm sure it's the other
things you'd be more interested in

about. Uh, no. Uh, actually, I'm very
interested in the fact that you're a

private investigator.

Yeah?

I want to hire you.

At three o 'clock in the morning?

Well, you look like a man who keeps late
hours.

Yeah, I am. Right.

What do you want to hire me for?

Somebody stole my car.

I want you to get it back for me.

Oh, stole your car.

Well, that's a shame. Did you call the
police?

Of course I called the police.

But I need it back in 24 hours.

Daddy's flying in tomorrow night.

If I don't pick him up at the airport in
that car, I don't know what he'll do.

See, it's the third one I've had stolen.

Daddy says if I lose this one, He'll
never buy me another one.

Ever.

Oh.

Well, of course, now I understand why
you woke me up at 3 o 'clock in the

morning.

It's very, very important to me.

I thought you were the man for the job.

Of course, I could be wrong. No, no, no.
No, no. You're not wrong. You're right.

You came to the right place. As a matter
of fact, you even came at the right

time. No. A car like that, 24 hours,
that's repainted and on a boat to

I knew you'd understand. Oh, yeah.

And I have a few connections in the
world of stolen cars.

I knew you would. Yeah.

And since the last thing we want is for
Daddy to stop buying you new cars, are

you sure you wouldn't like to have a
beer just to sort of consummate our new

relationship?

Shouldn't you get to work?

We can consummate our relationship after
you've found the car.

I'm just...

Say

over three words to me, huh?

I'll just hope you discuss finances with
her.

$300 a day?

Plus expenses, plus a bonus if we get
the car back.

Oh, tell me you discussed finances with
her.

Come on, A .J.

Girl goes through three Porsches. She's
not going to have any trouble paying us.

Oh, that's great.

That's great. Now we're a non -profit
organization.

When are you going to get it through
your head? We are in business.

This time we're not. This time we're in
love.

Why am I here?

I'm not getting paid.

What other earthly reason is there for
me to be here at this hour of the

morning?

Manuel?

Hey, Manuel, it's Rick Simon.

Abre la puerta.

Rick, have we got the right address?

he's a friend of yours?

You know something? You sound a little
worried out here.

Listen,

Manuel. What?

I got a friend who's interested in the
924 turbo.

And went to the showroom, checked out
the sticker prices, and he thought I

be able to help him out a little bit.

When's the last time you had a turbo
through here?

Oh, it's been about six or seven months.

Six or seven months?

Yeah, I know.

You know, I used to do a very brisk
business with them, but no more.

Someone's turning them around north of
the border.

You got any idea who's doing it?

Well, I might.

Rick, this is your brother.

This is brother, yeah.

AJ. AJ.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, Rick.

You remember my daughter, the oldest
one?

Anita.

She has just come of age now.

Oh, you're kidding. Little Anita? Oh,
she looks magnificent now.

You know what I was thinking?

I was thinking maybe your brother could
take her out on a date. Oh, I'd love to.

Well, you'd love to.

No, really, I think they'd hit it off.

You know, there's so few eligible young
men around.

Yeah. He's a good kid, huh? Oh, the
best. You kidding?

All right.

There's a guy in San Diego.

His name is Stoney.

He specializes in turbo. He's supposed
to be very, very good.

Okay, you got any idea how I contacted
Stoney?

Yeah, you might talk to Robin Davis.

Defense.

I like to think of him as, como se dice,
independent host.

Muchas gracias, amigo.

Adios, hombre. Hasta luego.

Hey, AJ.

See you around, AJ.

Right. Thank you.

What does Nita look like? Not like
Manuel, I hope.

No, no, she looks like her mother.

Well, what does her mother look like?

Um, nice. You know, a little plump, but
nice. Plump?

A little plump? I mean, how plump? Would
she fit inside an oil drum?

Really?

Not a meter.

Not a meter.

worth these days?

Two plays. That's it.

Remember those quarter pinball machines?

Five balls per quarter?

Look at these things.

Three balls, 50 cents.

Everything in this joint, 50 cents.

You Robin Davis?

Why don't you let me know what you want,
and I'll let you know if I'm Robin

Davis or not.

Manuel Fernandez referred us to you.

Manuel! My man, yeah.

Long time no see.

dry cleaning business, I bet, huh?

No, the Manuel Fernandez we know isn't
in dry cleaning. He deals in used cars.

Some less used than others?

Yeah, that's right.

That's right.

So you guys do know Manuel, don't you?

That's good.

Always like to see Manuel.

Hey, Mercati Imports, he's a dealer.

I know.

That's what's so sweet about his
operation.

He'll deal them straight.

He'll deal them dirty, whatever the
situation calls for.

Go talk to Joey. Tell him Robin sent
you.

Hey, and remind him it's a two -way
street. He could send a little action my

way, you know what I mean? Yeah, we'll
talk.

Hey, uh, if there's anything else I can
do for you gentlemen, I mean, uh, you

want to talk to TV, stereo, home
computers, machine pistol?

You got your handgun, your shotgun?

How about a Japanese ten -speed?

No. Oh, come on, Janet.

It'll only take a few hours.

Besides, I don't even know you're gone.
Oh, thank you. Thanks a lot. It'll be

fun. You'll enjoy it. No, I know I don't
want to. There's no way, Rick. That is

confidential file. Thank you. That's
nice, Janet. No, wait a minute. I can't

this. Hey, hey, hey.

What's going on here?

Just need to borrow Janet for a couple
hours.

wonderful gentleman who had nothing but
respect for your only daughter. Besides,

we need her. We will bring her back
shortly.

She's supposed to be working for me.

Oh, look at this red one.

Oh, Albert, could we have a red one,
please?

Jerry Christian, call online. I really
like it.

Hi, I'm Joey Marcotti. Can I help you?

Parts department.

Pick up line one, please.

Howdy.

Hi.

This looks like a real tight little shop
you got here.

You been working here long?

Is this your car?

Oh, heck no. I'd have to rob a bank to
afford one of these babies. No, I just

drove up from the panhandle.

I need a job.

I worked in a dealership down there, and
I kind of figured this place could

benefit from some of my expertise.

Joe, you have a customer waiting in your
office.

Mr. Mercati.

Can I be frank with you?

In my office, you can be anyone you
like.

I am a stockbroker.

for one of the major brokerage firms
here in San Diego.

The biggest?

Well, good for you.

Unfortunately, I have recently suffered
a series of ill -fated personal

investments. Now, I'm sure that you can
understand how it is essential for a man

in my position to... To maintain a
certain image.

Keep up appearances.

Exactly.

Now, I am certain that I could dispel
any rumors about my current financial

difficulties with the purchase.

of an expensive new car.

Well, you've certainly come to the right
place, Mr. Wickersham.

Unfortunately, retail is out of the
question.

Retail is out of the question?

I've been checking around, Mr. Marcotti,
very discreetly, of course.

And I have found that when it comes to
certain cars, you can be a very

reasonable man.

Oh, no, you go ahead.

Oh, that is something.

Look, I'll tell you what.

I believe if I can get in there, just
release that bracket, slip

that little sucker right in. Oh, there
we go.

That's just as snug as a bullfrog in a
lily pad enchilada.

Well, I guess you know something about
cars after all. A little bit, yeah.

What's your name, cowboy?

Stoney.

Mike Chapman, line four.

I say something wrong?

So you walk around a lot, see what you
like, just color, options, all that.

Then come back and see me.

I'm here all the time. Okay.

You're a friend of Robin Davis's.

I'll take care of him. Thank you very
much.

Robin, then you would.

John Stevens, line two.

Hey.

Get out of here.

What? Stoney, right there.

Well, have you two wonderful gentlemen
just forgotten about you? No, here you

go. Take a cab.

If it's more than that, you let me know.
Wait a minute.

Rick.

Wow.

for a show, and I really think these
guys have done a fine job. Why don't we

give them a hand?

Very good. Good show. Good show. Isn't
that nice?

This isn't working.

I'm gonna go turn on the stove.

No, I can handle this.

I don't like the way you're handling it.
Now just settle down. You like to hurt

people too much, and you always have.
Now this guy's gonna level with us,

you?

Look, nobody wants to give you any
problems here, so you boosted a turbo.

Okay. The only thing is you picked the
wrong car.

Get away from there. That's a $3 ,000
system.

Oh, you shouldn't have sat down.

Hey, wait a minute. Are you crazy?

Now what you got to do, you got to tell
us where the chop shop is. Nobody has to

know that it was you who told us. We go
in, we get the car, you go out stealing

you and everybody's happy, right?

What is he doing?

He's a music lover. Now, where's the
job, Scott?

How do I know you guys are not cops?

My brother wanted to be a police
officer, but he failed one of the tests.

That's psychotic imbalance, they called
it.

And that's not your fault you were born
that way.

Are you looking at me?

No.

Cooperate with me just a little bit
here.

Okay.

It's all yours.

It's in a warehouse.

Where? Third, in Highland, on the
corner.

Thank you.

Hey!

Take him with you?

You know, I never really was very good
with one of these things.

Tell you what.

I'll leave it right here with you, okay?

Have a nice day.

He's taking the car. He's taking the
car.

What's happening?

Some guy's stealing the car.

You should have seen the faces on those
guys that were on your tail.

This looks a little fishy to me.

Which one to make on?

Oh, come on, girls, answer the phone.

Do me a favor. Mention our feed before
you tell her we got the car. Yeah, I'd

like to speak to Christy. Huggins,
please.

Well, where is she?

A sorority picnic.

Uh, Rick?

All right, look, would you just tell her
Rick's island call, please? It's about

her car.

You two step outside.

Nice and easy. Officer, I can explain
everything. I really can. Rick!

What?

was supposed to be delivered today, this
afternoon.

The customers already coughed up $8
,000.

Why didn't you call the warehouse?

Because I was tied to the damn chair.

What am I supposed to do?

Give him his money back, tell him I'm
sorry?

Hey, give him one off the lot.

Give him one off, give him... That's a
brilliant idea.

Do you know what I paid for one of those
wholesale? Do you know what my cost is?

Don't sweat it. I'll pick up another one
for you on the house.

How long will it take?

Two, three days.

Two, three... I have to deliver today!

Hey, don't yell at me.

He's the one that got us into this.

He should have known who those guys
were.

How was I supposed to know?

Manuel Fernandez sent them to me.

Manuel Fernandez? Yeah, I thought they
were okay, because Manuel recommended

them. Hey, he never sent me any trouble
before.

You get down to Tijuana and talk to
Manuel.

I want to know who these guys are, where
they live.

Squeeze him if you have to.

I want to know. Hey, Joey, I got deals
cooking on my own.

I don't have time to go down to Mexico.

All right.

How would you like it if I put it out on
the street that you don't know the

difference between a mark and a ringer
anymore?

How many deals you going to have
cooking?

this issue was?

Sorority picnic.

That's nice.

Yeah. I could be hang gliding right now.

Think how much safer you are here.

Are these the men you hired to recover
your car for you? Yeah.

Glad you could make it.

Oh, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. I have
never been so humiliated in my life.

Here I am on a picnic with my friends
and some of my professors.

And all of a sudden this police car
comes to take me away.

I felt like a common criminal.

I don't suppose now would be a good time
to discuss finances with her, do you?

Look, I'm sorry about your picnic. Was
it my fault that you weren't near a

phone? We got your car back for you.
Your problem is solved. You ought to be

grateful. I am grateful. Where's my car?

They'll bring it along any minute. You
ought to be even more grateful. Think of

what would have happened if you had
picked Daddy up tonight without it.

Daddy?

Oh, yeah, you're right. I'm even more
grateful.

Thank you. Ah, no, see, I was thinking
that maybe after you pick Daddy up, you

and I could get together.

Is this supposed to be a joke? Ah, no,
see, I was going to explain that to you.

That, uh... What did you do to it? Well,
we rescued it. It's what we did. You're

lucky it's here at all, and I'm going to
take care of this. By the time you pick

up Daddy tonight, this will be as good
as new. Better than new, right?

Never mind.

I'll take it the way it is. No, Christy,
you can't do that, because you've got

to have connections to get a car like
this painted real fast.

What is that?

Nothing. Just some notes for a class.

I wanted to make sure they were still
here.

Well, are you going to close the door?

Christy, I'm going to get your car
painted for you.

I am.

Get in.

Come on, darling.

Make phone calls. Get all this stuff
straightened out.

darling. Make yourself comfortable. This
won't take but a minute.

Who's in there?

That's the cleaning lady. Never mind
her. Close the door.

Mom,

what are you doing here? I just dropped
by to see if I had sons anymore.

I could have died and been buried and
you wouldn't know unless you read it in

the obituary column.

Que pasa, mom?

Don't que pasa me.

You boys have something against washing
dishes?

What kind of a... Oh.

Hello, dear.

I'm Cecilia.

Christy. Are you a friend or a client?
Client.

AJ, where are your manners?

Well, aren't you going to offer Christy
something?

Of course. Would you like something?

Perrier, please.

We just ran out.

Never mind.

Will club soda be all right?

It's not the same.

No, of course not.

It just tastes the same.

Perrier, Manuel.

That's right.

Perrier. Where are you calling from,
huh?

From San Diego. Listen, Manuel, I have a
friend, a very special friend. Needs

one of your fast paint jobs.

One of your special fast paint jobs. You
think you can fit me in?

Sure. For you, no problem.

But you better get down here right away.

All right. Great, Manuel. And listen,
I'll tell you what.

Tell her to put on her prettiest dress,
and while you're painting the car, we'll

all go out to dinner at Cuco's, okay?

Sounds terrific.

No problem. I'll see you.

All right. Great, Manuel. Thank you.
Yes.

Looks like you can wait for him here.

He's bringing the car down to have it
painted.

Let's go. Hop in.

No, that's all right. I'm going to ride
with the client.

great time over here.

Manuel, Christy, Christy, Manuel.

Hi. Very beautiful young lady.

You're the owner of the car?

Yeah.

Well,

I guess that explains it.

Listen, why don't we all go inside? One
of my guys will bring the car in.

Is Anita here?

Well, we meet again.

Sato.

Hi,

you called me?

I'm AJ.

I heard you say AJ, that I'm AJ.

Rick, are you all right? Who is this?

That's my daughter.

She doesn't understand.

Oh, wait a second. Why don't you let it
stick around, huh?

You can explain it to her, can't you?

You can explain it to me.

How much did this jerk pay you to double
-cross me, huh?

He paid me nothing.

He didn't have to pay me.

I'm sorry, Rick.

You brought this on yourself.

You came down here as a friend, seeking
help.

And I gave you the information that you
wanted.

But you forgot to mention that you were
going to interfere with the business of

a colleague of mine.

You know, a while back you wouldn't have
done that.

Tell me something.

If you had come here into the garage and
seen the car, would you have taken it

from me?

Well...

made some sort of arrangement.

I'm very disappointed in you, my friend.

I went straight.

If this is what it means, going
straight, then I prefer our side of the

Why did you do it, Octavia?

Temporary insanity.

Nothing temporary for you anymore,
cowboy.

From now on, it's all permanent.

What you're going to do now is you're
going to forget about your car.

You're going to forget about these two,
forget all about us.

You file your stolen car report, you
collect on your insurance, you buy

a new car, and you'd be happy.

If you open your mouth about any of
this, to anybody, I'm going to pay you a

visit.

When you least expect it.

I'm going to be your own private
nightmare.

Excuse me.

Excuse me?

Can I just get something out of my car
before you take it? I don't think you

understood me.

You're not here.

Your car's not here.

You haven't seen your car since last
night.

Come

on,

you drive this thing. I'll take the
turbo.

These two are going to do a little hang
gliding. It's too bad they won't be

awake to enjoy it.

They're not really going to hurt them,
are they?

Rick and AJ are grown men.

They knew what they were doing.

I'm calling the police.

No, you're not.

If you don't stop them, I will.

Anita, por favor.

I can't stop them, don't you understand?

Oh, I understand. Rick was your friend.
Those other two, they're nothing.

You could have stopped them, Father.

If you were the man I thought you were,
you would have stopped them.

I said no.

We don't need the police.

We can do this thing ourselves.

Man sure better look okay.

Gonna look like an accident. Man takes a
flight in a hang glider, bounces off

the cliff, falls in the water.

Happens all the time. Then his brother
drowns, trying to pull him out.

Come on, let's get him up.

are both going to the same place.

That's homecoming because you were
looking at a blonde cheerleader.

Oh, God.

Rick?

Mom?

No, it's A .J.

Oh.

Did they kill you, too?

You can have it after I've made a copy.
I'll see you back at Pi Omega.

Well, okay.

I'll see you there.

Hey, Christy, wait up.

Don't you want to say thank you or
something to that effect?

What he really means is that this is the
point in the story where we usually get

paid. Paid?

For what?

For almost getting me killed?

No, for getting your car back, which is
what we were hired to do.

Nobody ever said anything about being
hired.

Look at that.

What did I tell you, huh?

Where is it?

What? There was a test in here. A master
copy for a biology final that I've got

to take tomorrow.

Where is it?

I didn't see it. Did you see it? Test?
No, no, no, no test. Test right there in

your car, huh? Oh, gosh, a test you've
got to take tomorrow.

It's very funny, you two.

Now the joke's over.

Now I need that test.

I'd like to help you, darling, but you
know what you ought to do?

You ought to hire A .J. and me to find
that test for you.

That is, after you've settled up your
present account, of course.

All right.

How much?

$300 plus $67 .43 in expenses plus $50
in bribes plus any little bonus that he

might feel fit to give us because we do
get good results. Yes, we do.

I'll have to write you a check.

Oh, I think in your case we'll just wait
for the cash.

But... There's no big hurry on it. You
know, anytime you happen to be in the

neighborhood, you just drop by. Don't
push yourself.

But... Rick?

Yes?

Here she comes. Yeah, don't I know it.

You want to give her the cat?

Yeah.

You and I know the meaning of amigos.

We're not alike, yet everybody we know
knows we're more than brothers prepared.

We may not live or think like one
another, and there are times when we

each other.
