Strangers in the night, exchanging glances

Wondering in the night, what were the chances?

Hey, sissy.

You got a light?

Hi, sunshine, yes.

Just hold on a second.

Would you please thank you?

Jesus!

Clink them two junkies.

Book them on an 802.

If those ain't the two guys been doing all

the purse snatching, I'll marry both of them.

Don't forget to read them there.

You got a right to remain all that jive.

Strangers in the night...

Don't settle for no less than two grand.

Is that all you can get?

Hey, man, them goods is worth at least two grand.

When can you deliver?

Hey, man, don't ask him.

Tell him we need the money now.

Do I have your word on that?

Hey, man, don't take his word for nothing.

All right, tomorrow it is then.

Tomorrow?

It may as well be next week.

Hey, hey, hey, Gwen, that dude radiates bad karma.

He ain't never gonna deliver.

Offense is a business, man, Sully, and a deal is a deal.

How do you expect me to carry on business with you pestering me all the time?

It's your move.

No, man, it's your move.

You thin, brother, that's the problem.

You need a fix and we ain't got a dime.

Two days we've been waiting for that sucker, and he tells us tomorrow?

We ain't eatin' in two days, Gwen.

I ain't even had a woman in a week.

You got any money?

Huh?

How are we gonna get it on in a strange town

if we can't even get ourselves a cup of coffee?

You tell me that.

I'm thin.

But you, my friend, are losing control.

We will resolve this little problem like rational human beings.

Well, we'll be goin' home in a little while, see ya later.

Oh, my God, he was blind.

I'm gonna smoke outta here.

You saw these guys, huh, Molly?

How many of them was there?

There was two.

They were big.

Yeah?

Well, I guess from where you're standin', anybody's big.

Uh, what could you tell me about them?

Like, uh, what color were they?

Both.

You mean a black guy and a white guy?

And you got a real good look at him?

Just the black one.

Oh.

Well, tell me somethin' about him, uh, what he looked like.

The guy I saw had a leather jacket.

A leather jacket.

Hey, Baretta, come take a look at this.

Yeah.

Sit tight, sugar.

Yeah, busted in the scuffle, huh?

Well, it's a cinch that didn't belong to old blind Benny.

But these things, I read them for ten cents a dozen anyplace in America.

Dust them for prints, anyway.

This whole thing is kind of strange to me, Fats.

Look like juveniles to me.

That's a pretty good guess, Fats.

No, it ain't. That's a bad guess.

Any kid in this town, he knows that old Benny is blind.

All he's got to do is punch him in the head and take anything he wants from him.

He ain't got to stuck him.

This old Italian nose of mine.

Smells of junkies.

And out-of-town junkies, too.

If there's any local hypes, they know all they got to do is

take that television set and they get a poke in the arm for it.

Baretta, baby, he shop like a street fan.

Baretta, how about the dog? Should we take him to the pond?

No, no, man.

Leave Sailor right there.

I'm going to take him and Molly with me over to my place.

Fats, run this whole thing down.

I'll be over at the store.

Let me know what you find.

Come on, Molly.

Come on, what are you up to, Tony?

What are you doing through there, are we?

Can I have dessert now?

Yeah, no, eat a little bit more. I'll get you dessert.

Hey, Baretta.

Yeah, boss.

Is that yours, too?

No, that one belonged to Benny.

Look, I see how you make these guys junkies.

I don't see how you make them from out-of -town.

Well, anybody from the streets around here knows that old Benny's blind.

He's got that stamp for the last 20 years.

And besides that, a junkie who's local knows he can take

them television sets and hock them at the nearest drug store.

I'll tell you something else, too.

I think they're still here.

What makes you think that?

Because any hype I ever knew that's got a plane ticket, a bus ticket, a car,

or even money for gas, he shoots in his arm.

Them guys didn't have two dimes to rub together.

Did you get any prints out of this?

No.

Fats said the joint was clean.

Matter of fact, I ain't got much.

I got another bag with some kind of gadget in

it and some dime store glasses, and that's it.

Okay, then we go with the glasses, get the

prescription, get it out to local opticians.

Boss, them glasses are gonna be a waste of time.

So what do you got now, Baretta?

You got anything?

No, I ain't got nothing.

Then we're gonna go with the glasses.

Listen, come here.

What are you gonna do with this kid?

How the hell does a parent leave a kid like

that out on the street at this hour of night?

Well, see, Molly ain't got no parents.

All she's got is her sister, Stella.

I know her pretty well, so I'll just take Molly over

to my house and I'll put the two of them together.

That's a good caravan.

Yeah, okay.

All right, Minerva, what's your favorite dessert?

You want some tutti frutti frimpers or what?

Hot fudge sundae.

Hot fudge sundae.

That's easy to get in a police station at this time.

I'll be back in a minute.

Why don't you buy me another drink?

Buy me another drink.

I'll be about ready to go.

Stella, I gotta talk to you.

Hey, man.

You look beautiful.

Buzz off, will you, man?

I don't care about a badge or anything.

Please don't fight.

Tony, come on.

Every time somebody wants to buy me a drink, you come along.

Give me a pot of coffee, will you, pal?

A pot of coffee at table one.

What are you doing around here? Come on, let's get out of here.

Baby, slow down, Tony.

Tony, dance with me.

Come on, dance with me.

Yeah, yeah, it feels good.

Remember, huh?

We used to go out to dinner eating lasagna and a little wine.

It's not like you.

It's not like a baby picking up a little drunken lady in a bar.

You take a home, you wine, and you dine them in the tree.

Come on, come on, sit down.

Oh!

What's the matter?

Yeah, good, bring it in here.

No, I don't want this.

I've got a drink up there in the bar.

Never mind about the drink.

This is serious now, Stella.

Pour this stuff down you.

I don't care about your drink.

You're gonna drink coffee now.

You're gonna sober up.

I'm gonna take you over to my place because that's where Molly is.

Here, drink.

Wait, what's Molly doing here?

Drink, drink the coffee.

Oh, my God.

Drink, drink it.

She saw a guy get killed tonight.

What do you mean?

Yeah.

Old painting that runs a hot dog stand.

Somebody snuffed him.

And when the heat got there, she was over in the corner

munching some pie, scared to death.

Drink the coffee, drink it.

You leave her running around the streets at 2 or 3

o'clock in the morning because she's afraid to go home.

On the cottage, she's gonna find you there

with some cheap junk pouring you full of booze.

You got a sister that's a lush that ain't even trying.

Drink that coffee.

Look, world, it's a rotten world.

It's a rotten world. So Molly's gonna... - Drink.

The sooner she sees it, the... Drink.

The better she's gonna be.

Yeah? - Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

It's a crummy world when you look at it through a shot glass.

It's the only world you got, like it or not.

And like it or not, she's the only sister you got.

And you're gonna help her.

Drink that coffee.

I don't want it.

Drink the coffee. - I don't want it.

Drink the coffee.

That girl.

Oh, boy, I've been thinking about old Benny.

Such a sweet man.

He never hurt anybody in his life.

Yeah.

You figure those guys are still around?

Sure they are, Billy. What'd they get?

$70, $80?

If they go out and buy one or two pokes, they're gonna be broke.

If they try to make another score, I know about that, too.

Is your man even sleeping?

You know, I did a lot of dancing tonight for Brubaker.

But the bottom line is, my whole case is laying over there in that bed.

That little muffin's all I really got.

I just hope the bad guys ain't figuring the same way.

Stella sure fell off the wagon again.

Yeah.

Stella fell off the wagon, and Benny fell off the world.

And that's the name of that tune.

We ain't got no business sticking around here, Quinn.

We can leave.

Then when the fence tries to call us, the phone rings in an empty room.

There's no way the man could reach us, no way he could deliver about $2,000.

What good's two grand gonna do us if we get busted, huh?

You didn't have to waste that old man, Quinn.

There's two kinds of people in the world, Sally.

Losers and winners.

Losers don't use their brain power.

They act impulsively.

When the going gets tough, they run.

Winners are decision makers.

They act shrewdly.

I've made the decision to kill that old man

that separates me from the losers, understand?

This is our budget for the next 24 hours.

One half for you, one half for me.

That's $10 for food, $50 for necessities.

I don't anticipate having any problem getting my needs taken care of.

But what are you gonna do about scoring them?

I'm postponing it until the morning.

We'll both hit the streets at random.

Random, huh?

You shouldn't have done that!

That's all mixed up.

What about that girl?

The girl with the teddy bear?

You forget she was a witness!

I don't think she even saw me.

Yeah, but she saw me, babe!

And she saw the fight!

That kid was too young to be aware of anything, Sully.

That kid was a scavenger.

How long you think a child like that will last on the streets?

That kid was like a baby bird that falls from the nest.

She won't last that long.

Two hungry birds!

I'm ready!

Drink up.

Where's my breakfast? I'm a hungry boy.

What is this?

That's all you got, that's all you get.

What you got is what you get, huh?

That's it, coffee.

Terrific.

Why don't the three of us go some place together today?

Spend the whole day together.

Go to the park or something like that.

I'd love to do that, but I gotta take a rain check on that.

You know what's really terrific?

It's just to see it dried out and tight and cook and just stay that way.

I gotta go out and hit the streets.

There's a couple lemons out there.

I'm gonna pick them.

And maybe if I get that done, then we'll all celebrate.

In the meantime, I want both of you just to stay right here.

Don't do nothing except stay in this room.

Don't even answer the door.

Unless his first name starts with Tony and his last name starts with Baretta.

Understand?

Understood.

And I'll see you tonight.

Okay.

Goodbye, gang. - Have a good day.

You bet.

He's a sweetie, huh?

You like him?

Yeah, I like him, too.

Why don't we surprise him?

Why don't we cook a dinner for him, huh?

Great idea.

I will go to the grocery store and I'm gonna get all this wonderful stuff for dinner.

Molly, I know I've let you down before, but you gotta trust me, dear.

I'm just gonna go to the store and I'll be right back.

I'll only be half an hour, really.

Half an hour, you can watch the clock.

When I come back, we'll cook a wonderful dinner, all right?

I want you to come with me.

Come on. Come on.

You lock the door behind me, huh?

And my password's gonna be Fred.

I'll lock the door. Half an hour.

I'll be back. I promise.

And I don't think we should be seen together like this.

Do you see any little girls around, Sally?

Hey, look, I may need you to help to connect so you stay cool.

It's just a matter of time.

Excuse me, gentlemen, but you wouldn't have a couple dollars you could lay on me.

I got a job now.

Would you have got a cigarette, maybe?

That is the key to my immediate future.

Stay here.

Hey, man, would you have a couple dollars you could lay on me?

I'll buy a cigarette.

You got a cigarette?

Hey, you got your... - Yeah, I do.

I think if we could... Buddy, if we could just find... - What?

Find your man.

What are you talking about, man? - Find my man.

What are you talking about?

Come on. Come on.

It's right down here, man.

It's right down here.

You all right? You feeling all right?

Let's find your man.

You wait right here.

I'll get it.

Teak, Teak, can you come out here, man?

This is my friend.

Can you fix my friend and me up, Teak?

Now, you can't afford no fix, and I don't know this dude.

No, no, no, no, Teak.

He's a friend of mine.

This is Quinn. We've been tied up in Danbury.

He got money.

Show him money, man.

Show him the money.

Look, Teak, he's got money.

You wouldn't be trying to set me up now, would you, Penguin?

You see, I'm as pure as the snow.

The police gets along real fine with old Teak.

I ain't never been nailed, and I ain't gone on.

You want something from me?

First, you got to ask.

Real sweet.

You got to ask, please, Mr. Teak, sir,

would you kindly let us sample your wares?

Please, Mr. Teak, sir, may we kindly sample your wares?

No, you may not.

But here, I treat you to the best shoe shine in town.

Put a mere polish on the pointy toe, son.

Give him the forty dollar shine.

And you, my fellow, kindly give my man your forty dollars.

It's going to be a shoe shine you'll never forget.

What you do about that is slap him in the head is what you do.

You look an awful flashy there for the middle of the afternoon, Butterfly.

Oh, yeah, well, you know, this is the busiest time of the day.

The businessman's lunch?

Yeah, sure.

Anyway, I'm looking for a couple of junkies.

Out of towners.

They're going to be hard to recognize.

But, uh, anyway, they knocked off old Benny that runs a hot dog stand.

And I figure they must be trying to score by now.

Well, how do I tell them from the rest of the riffraff on the block?

I mean, the ones ain't killed nobody yet.

I ain't got a lot.

All I know is there's a black guy and a white guy.

One of them's wearing glasses, thick glasses.

Yeah, I know.

That ain't going to help much less to see somebody bumping into walls.

Oh, yeah.

Black guy wears leathers.

He had this bag on him.

There's a gadget in it.

What am I looking at? What is that?

What you got there, my man, is a black man's good luck charm.

Dude who carries this has an edge with the ladies.

The ladies?

Yeah.

Folks say it increases one's virility.

Personally, Rooster ain't ever found it necessary to put it to the test.

Yeah, yeah, sure. Wait a minute.

We're looking for one junkie and one ladies' man.

Because I ain't never known no guy that was

involved with chicks that was shooting smack.

So we got one guy looking for a chick and one guy looking for a score.

Scratch around.

See what you can find for me.

Brother's looking for a chick, huh?

Yeah, well, maybe I can help him out.

I hate to see one searching in vain.

Attend to my business first, okay?

Yeah, my man, well, your business is my business, you know?

Ladies, huh?

Yeah, I'll see what I can do for the brother.

Ronnie and John stole my teddy.

I know. I saw them.

Now, don't cry. It'll be all right.

I'll tell you what.

Would you like it if we bought you a new one?

How about that?

It don't make no difference, Stella.

That's a bunch of jives.

The point is, I told you to stay here and take care of her, and you didn't.

You took off. - No, I didn't, Tony.

I did everything that you told me.

All I did was I went out and I bought some groceries and I came back.

Poof, she was gone.

Why'd she go away?

I bought some nice stuff for dinner.

I don't care about your groceries.

Come on.

I promised you, Molly, Ryan should leave.

I promised her.

Tony, I want to tell you, I didn't have not one drink

until I came home and I got so scared... I know.

She didn't know that.

She didn't know that.

She thought you were going to leave.

Come on, get in the tub.

I told her.

I promised her.

She thought you were going to be drunk and show up here with some John at 3 o'clock

in the morning, the same old thing like you always do, right?

No.

Get in the tub.

We don't got to panic, do we?

Huh?

She's around someplace.

Them guys don't know where she is.

Tony, Tony, quick some coffee.

Yeah, I will.

You miss your old man, don't you?

I got it, I got it.

Now, listen.

We don't got to panic about nothing.

Them sickos don't know where she is.

She's just one little girl in a thousand of them out there on the street.

So you just soak in the tub, pump that coffee in, and I got to go out and find her.

And I know where she hangs out.

She hangs out with that little group of kids about

a couple blocks away from old Benny's hot dog stand.

They used to go there at night and mooch food from them.

They steal bottles, turn them in, like that kind of thing.

I'll go there. She'll be there.

Just stay cool.

Stop that guilt stuff, all right?

See you later.

Let's see it, partner.

Who, me?

Where did you get that cute bear?

Oh, I found him in the alley.

Oh, you did, huh?

Yeah.

Found him in the alley?

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

Listen, that bear belonged to a good friend of mine named Molly.

I'm kind of worried about her.

So I want you to think again about where you got the bear.

Well, tell him, tell him.

You tell me. You tell me.

Where did you get the bear?

We took it from her down on 13th.

You did, huh? - Yeah.

We'll give it back, though.

Well, I'm kind of worried about her.

I'd like to know where she is.

How are you going to give it back to her?

Do you know where she is?

No.

I don't.

Well, what happened?

When you took the bear, what happened?

Well, some white dude wearing glasses came up to her and they were talking.

Then they went off like they was friends or something.

Ain't that right?

White dude?

Yep.

I'll take that bear back to Molly when I find her.

Okay.

See you later.

Bye.

You having fun?

Yeah.

I always gotta watch TV alone.

It's not as much fun as this.

Well, it's sort of a place for my son to be in, I must say.

Is that the front door?

I don't like it.

Nicely.

What you got here?

Oh, you like a meowing, huh?

Well, maybe she's a midget or something.

What do I know?

I mean, different strokes for different folks.

You say that all the time.

How are you gonna say anything about that?

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!

You are dumber than you look, Sully.

Who are you calling dumb, chump?

How could you bring her up here?

That's bad blood, Quinn.

That kid could make me.

Precisely why she's here.

That child is our ace in the hole.

Now she saw us kill a man.

She's dangerous to us on the loose, not sitting in the next room, understand?

Look, I understand all that.

I just don't want no part of any kidnapping.

A black cat gets caught kidnapping a little white girl.

That's something else!

All right.

Your move, Sully.

You bail out.

Whenever you wish.

Okay.

I'll get myself a bottle of Touquet and a woman with a quip for the night.

But I ain't leaving town till I get my cut.

Do you understand?

You better understand, Quinn.

You follow me up and there's gonna be devils on your trail.

All right, dear.

Little Miss Baby Cakes.

We're gonna start all over again.

You got picked up last night by John.

He was a black guy.

He took you to the hotel room.

He's gonna do a little business with him, right?

Well, it might have been an apartment building for all I know.

Yeah.

In your line of work, you don't know the difference

between a hotel room and an apartment room?

Well, it was dark.

It usually is when you work, Sugar.

I didn't tell you something.

I had a little conversation with a couple of the cuties

you got picked up with you in the paddy wagon last night.

They said she was running your big mouth about two guys, one black and one white,

in a hotel room.

And they had a little girl.

That's what they said.

Yeah. - Yeah. Yeah, what?

Well, I remember two guys and the little girl.

What did she look like?

I don't know.

She might have been a little boy.

You notice I ain't laughing.

We're talking about a little girl here, a human being, not some joke.

Now, you come straight with me or I'll dump you in a slammer.

I'll put you where the sun never shines, where they eat people like you.

I'll have you for withholding evidence.

I'll bring you up on a federal rap for being involved in a kidnapping.

I can't tell you what I saw because I didn't have my glasses.

I want to know about the little girl.

I don't care.

I don't wear my glasses when I work because they're, like, not real flattering.

You know?

You see?

You know what I mean?

Gee!

You're kind of cute, you know?

Don't play that joke.

You see what I mean?

Hey, Shanghai.

How you doing, Mama?

Hey.

That's him? - Yeah.

Hey!

I'm Baretta from the 53rd.

Come on down here.

Talk alone?

Yeah.

Go on, Shanghai. Get a cab. Hey, Rooster?

Hey, baby.

Come on down here.

Tell me about these two guys that work you over.

What kind of sand do they have?

Yeah, yeah.

Go ahead. Tell me.

One of them was a black guy?

Yeah.

The other guy was a white guy?

Did he have thick glasses or he couldn't see good?

Yeah, that's him. That's him.

You think they're from out of town?

Yeah, you got them.

You got a bunch of weirdos, man.

What'd they hit on you for?

Do you want a score?

Want a fix?

I took them there.

I took them there, you know, in good faith.

I took them to see the man.

And then they worked you over, huh?

Yeah.

What man?

Well, the man.

I said, what man?

Don't get cute with me, Junkie.

I hate pushers in the first place.

And there's a little girl's life involved.

Do you not tell me what man or I'll rip... What?

Who?

Teak. Teak. It's Teak, man.

He's the man. - I know that.

I busted him.

I busted him twice and it didn't stick.

How does he do his thing?

Oh, it's the shoe shine, you know?

It's the front and the boot block.

He deals.

He deals, you know?

It's $40 a shine.

He brings the Junkies to the shine boy.

Yeah.

Okay.

You put that double sawbuck in your arm.

I don't want to know you.

If you want to get cleaned up, come and see me and I'll get you through it.

Understand?

Let me out of here, Sam.

I hate pushers, man.

And I'm gonna nail you.

Where's Brubaker?

He isn't here.

What do you mean, he ain't here? Where is he?

I don't know where he is.

That guy's mine. Who busted him?

Listen, there are many facets of police work you don't seem to understand.

We have all kinds of... We have attorneys we have to deal with...

I want to know who busted him!

I don't know.

We never made the bust.

That's my only contact.

Who busted that guy?

He's supposed to be on the street.

Who do you think you are?

You want to know who made the bust?

Yeah, yeah.

The Marks made the bust. That's who made the bust.

What are those punks doing in my case, man?

There ain't supposed to be no... I'll get you your information.

I'm very good at it. - It's my job.

You do your job, I'll do my job.

You ain't gonna get nothing out of him!

We checked in those glasses, Baretta.

What? What are you talking about?

Those glasses. We found out there were 200 pairs sold.

All cheapies, no prescriptions.

Oh.

Oh.

It don't make no difference.

It's still Brubakerr's fault.

He read my report.

He knew that Cheyenne Stan was my only link in a murder case.

And a find in Molly.

He had no business letting them narcs go anywhere near it.

All I had to do was sit on top of that thing and

sooner or later they had a show and we'd be home free.

Now what have I got?

I got a shut down dope drop.

I got some thick rimmed glasses you can buy anywhere

in this country for ten cents a dozen in a dime store.

And I got a leather bag with some crazy kind of manhood virility jiving.

It don't make no difference.

Every junkie in the world has got a score sooner or later.

Come on, sailor, let go of that.

You think we could get lucky still?

What do you say, sailor?

It's me, man.

Kids asleep.

I came to get a few things.

I'm bailing out.

Lose is run, Sully.

You don't think you'll really be able to make it out in the

real world without my intelligence to guide you, do you?

I don't see how your almighty brains have done anything so far except land us in a

heap of trouble.

We got to create space between us and that child.

All right, all right.

And since we can't let her go, there's only one alternative, isn't there?

I can't do that.

I'll do it.

But you have to score from teak.

I want to feel laid back when I take care of her.

Who is that you were talking to?

Just a friend of mine looking for your sister.

I could show you where she lives, but she's never home.

You like it here?

Yeah.

I'll tell you what, you get a good night's sleep.

I'll teach you how to play chess in the morning, all right?

301.

Yeah.

Your man Teak don't run an all-night market.

I struck out.

All right.

All right, but don't come back until you score.

Catch you in the morning.

Tony.

You're the best guy I know.

And you're the best cop in the city.

You'd only hope that Molly has.

Now, so don't let her down or yourself down by wearing yourself into the ground.

Come on, lay down.

Lay down.

Get yourself some sleep.

Dude, you can go out there and do what you gotta do, baby.

Wake me up in two hours, for sure, okay?

Yeah.

Looking for someone, my man?

Yeah.

Looking for a dude named Teak.

Teak?

Teak took a little vacation, brother.

I'm the man now.

Hey, well, lookie here.

Maybe you can help me out.

I need a shine.

$40 shine.

You know the stuff, bro?

I mean, you know the routine? Let's walk.

I don't like to talk.

It's okay, boy.

Colen, take it easy.

Back, Sailor.

Easy, boy.

Take it easy, Sailor, will you?

Yeah, it's me.

You got it?

Yeah.

Over there, partner.

Sit.

Hey.

Hi, Minnie Mouse.

How you doing, sugar? Come on.

Go off on me, man.

Sailor, leave him alone.

Stay right there, man.

Stay right there.

That's the guy I saw at the hot dog stand.

Had I, girl.

Does it.

That's the last time you're going to win.

According to Swarmy Schwartz in the book here, the hand is quicker than the eye.

And I'm going to prove it.

Okay, I'll bet a penny again that you can't find it.

I'll have that happen.

You better get ready, Uncle Bill, or they'll be here any minute.

Yeah, just a minute.

Uh-huh.

I'll have you spiffy in no time.

I bet another penny.

Now, where is... Oh, what are you doing?

Hey, get away from here.

Get away from here.

I tell you, Swarmy Schwartz never had to put up with the chicken.

Molly, have you got your dressing ready?

What's going on here?

You old rummy, you're supposed to be playing nursemaid and getting the kid

ready to go out to the carnival, and you're sitting here trying to be Houdini.

With those rummy hands of yours, you couldn't

fool a wino who was blind and in a coma. Get out of here.

That tears it.

That tears it.

Now, look, this time it's going to be my entire bank roll.

Six cents.

And if I lose that, I'll default.

Go ahead, kid.

It's money in the bank. Trust Uncle Tony.

You're supposed to be teaching the little girl a better way of life.

You're teaching her how to gamble.

Cool it.

With this old rummy, it ain't gambling, it's stealing.

Put up the six cents.

Go ahead, wizard. Do your trick.

All right.

Now you follow.

Now tell me, where is the little seed?

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Hold it.

Get out of here, you.

No, no, no, no.

Just leave things alone.

Bet him a quarter the seed ain't here either.

That chicken has proved that the chicken is faster than the ox.

He ate the seed while we were talking.

You lie like a bear rug.

That chicken proved that you are a thief and you're under arrest.

And I'm in default.

But stealing a quarter from that little kid.
