My brother Knights of Columbus.

My brother Knights of Columbus, honorable members of the Legion of Mary.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are all troubled by these times that we're

living in.

My brother Knights of Columbus.

11 sisters, my fellow Catholics.

These times are trouble, all of us.

Monsignor Burke, my fellow Catholics, friends, neighbors, these are troubled

times.

Ed, listen, what's this about you getting into politics?

Relax, I cleared it with the inspector.

Ha, clear schmear.

They busted you from detective to patrolman. The next slot for you is

janitor.

Well, well, well, lookie here.

That stupid crack, I told her to stay out of my sector.

I'm gonna bust her two-bit butt.

What I want to say is you got a lot of competition for the... Strong. I want it

loud. You understand? I want everybody... Sally, darling, thank God.

What's up? I got a problem. Little but important. Tiny problem.

Okay, shoot.

Okay, now, you know that part... Listen, you promise you won't be angry at me?

You promise?

Come on, cough it up, Victor. I gotta get dressed. Okay, look, it's

Prestapino's idea, not mine. Okay, okay.

Okay, now, you know the part...

Three muses adagio, that part?

Yeah. Yeah, well, he wants, uh... He said he wanted more laughter, more

gaiety, more effervescence, you know what I mean? I mean, it's a big moment

there.

Hey, honey, now, have you been smiling, everybody?

Give everybody nice big smiles? Good.

Couldn't you have done something with a hair?

I'll fix it.

I'll fix it.

You're going to meet a nice man, and I want you to smile nicely for him.

If he kisses you, I don't want you to make a bad face, all right? All right.

Okay, honey.

Mr. Riley?

Mr.

Riley?

Ed Lacey.

I'm the master of ceremonies. Oh, great, great.

This is my family.

This is my wife, Ellen.

And Susan.

This is Susan. Susan, how are you, sweetheart?

Get the whole thing.

Mr. Roddy, excuse me.

We would have had a big crowd, but, you know, our memory grappling machine broke

down. We couldn't get the word out. I think they're ready.

Okay, I'm going to introduce you. Okay, good.

Sir.

Excuse me.

Reservations for Ambassador Shazam.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Oh, yes, of course.

Five minutes, please.

Excuse me.

Five minutes, please.

Pass to half.

And out.

You won.

I'm telling you, don't fix your shirt, man.

Hey, well, looky here, Cleo, man. We got us a regular Roy Rogers.

Hey, hey, looky here, officer.

You was out of uniform because the regulation 2679-32 said that the police

is supposed to wear a gun on the side, not in the front.

What do we owe you?

$127, uh, $127. But to you guys, it's, uh, $2. Would you hold this?

The brothers will quick draw your ass. I need you 27 cents.

Thanks for the tip, man.

What you gonna do, baby?

You gonna be in the ghetto, out of uniform? You gonna do it down on...

What?

Make you happy?

But, man, that ain't gonna do nothing.

I mean, I could just sneak up and stick it right out and lay six right along

your spine. No, you could.

You touch his gun, I'll blow your fucking head off.

And the motherfucker ain't lying.

has moved in.

It's two. Ass up!

Whoever you are, please don't hurt me.

Shut the fuck up!

Whatever you want, please.

Please just don't hurt me.

There's a typewriter in the closet.

Over there.

What's he think I am?

Red Bull Express or something.

Shazam goes when he goes.

Good day.

Is this your stash?

If you mean drugs, I don't use them.

No anxieties, backaches?

Not the numberless pains the flesh is there to?

Will you just take what you want and go?

was my valium.

You're lying, Sally.

I wasn't lying.

There are troubled times.

Sally.

Have you moved in my absence?

Do you dig?

Elizabethan justice.

This crib ain't no poverty pocket, baby.

Miss Devereaux, former Navy brat, is the daughter of

Admiral and Mrs. John Devereaux of Boston.

Oh, my God.

That's right, Sally.

Fame is to meet the dead man.

What are you going to do?

Well, if he can poke your ankle, he can poke the bread, right?

Look, he's an old man. He's got a heart condition.

If you call him, you'll kill him.

He's an admiral. He probably killed more dudes than I have.

I'll give you anything you want.

is to me as those Nicene barks of yore that gently o'er a perfumed sea

the weary way-worn wanderer bore to some far and distant

gentle shore.

You keep Admiral on the phone, and I'll do the talking.

Hello, Sally.

This is Edna. I hope I'm not too late.

Get rid of her.

Well, I was just going to bed.

Oh, no, I won't keep you. But I just read your review, and it's

fabulous.

It's lousy, isn't it? They really murdered us.

Are you talking about the times?

If anyone can kill a show, they can.

But, Frankie, this review is absolutely... May I call you tomorrow,

Mrs. Broderick? I'm really very tired, but I... Mrs...

Mrs.

Broderick? She hasn't called me that for years.

And if that's a bad review, I read it.

Sally... You know... I'm real

proud of you.

If you're gonna screw me, take off the bracelet.

Sally, Sally, how do you even know you?

Hello?

Yes, it is, ma'am. Your party's on the line.

Would you hold on just a minute, please?

If you love your daddy, be

cool, be straight, and I'll handle the business.

Hello there. I really don't like to bother you, but... What's your address,

lady? My address?

Oh, it's 48 West 88th Street.

Okay, lady, just sit tight. We'll send somebody there in a minute.

Hey, hey, hey, hold it, sucker.

Hey, wait, hey.

Listen, you say this shit for the Swabies, Admiral.

As they say, sailor, your position is untenable.

Western Union.

Broadway, 22nd Street.

New York, New York.

You got that?

Yes.

Money order.

Payable to Sally Devereaux.

Amount, $10,000.

I can't get that kind of money this time of night. Yeah?

Well, uh, I have a lot of confidence in you, Admiral.

Look, that's totally impossible.

You got two hours.

My lad.

You son of a bitch.

Don't use a siren.

Right.

Feel better?

Than what?

Get your coat on. We're moving.

Why? In case the Admiral blows battle stations.

Where are you taking me?

What, at Second Street?

You dig Fellini?

But I have to pee.

Go pee.

Take it easy, cowboy.

It might just be a family fight.

He's gonna dub you, Admiral.

You'll find out if you mess

this up.

The last thing I messed up, Sally, was my woman's face.

Come on, shake your ass.

Can't you wait a minute? I'm nervous.

Is that where they are?

Good evening.

This is the Right Reverend Rabbit Shazam of Liberia speaking

to you from the tip-top of the Allentown Hotel in Chicago.

Beautiful. I ain't gonna tell you again, Sally.

Take the back.

Now, hold your flash. Just sit tight.

Roger Burns.

24 John here.

And at 10-31 in progress, we're going to need some backup. The perpetrator's on

the premises.

Look,

I'm going to need your help.

You're crazy. You know that, don't you?

No.

Look, why are you doing this?

Because I dig adventure.

The thing is to be calm. Just be natural. Tell her there's a gas leak,

there's phone trouble, anything you want.

You move and I'll open her.

Nobody's moving.

Take it easy, fella. Shut up!

There's no sweat.

No sweat. Take it easy.

Put the piece on the floor.

Slide it over when you're full.

No problem.

Ain't nothing to say.

My father's back there.

Now put the piece on the floor, man. Put it on the floor. Just drop the blade.

You got nothing but a bullshit burden. My word on that.

Now slide it over, man. Slide it over!

My mother's grave.

Fuck your mother!

I'll see you.

And raise you.

example!

Couldn't make it in this way.

He was not a nice person, Jeff.

What's your story, Doc? Two in, two out, DOA right away.

All right, you need any more?

No, no, thank you very much. I'm sorry about the hour. How are you going to do

this? Good night, Doc.

He's standing about here.

Your standard?

No, your standard.

He came at me with a blade. What hand was the blade in?

It was in his right hand. The guy's right hand.

But you see, the review in the New York Times actually is marvelous.

Yeah.

Then I knew something was fishy. Right. Where'd you get the paper?

Well, the newsstand at about 1.30.

1.30. Mm-hmm.

Do you feel like talking?

No.

You're going to have to talk to us eventually. You don't have to do it now.

Take your time. Get yourself together, okay?

Watch back, boss.

Jesus.

It's big in the... Let's

go, boss.

in the garden pulling your pudding what's the answer told me well most i

stopped brought he could have got me for christ's sake he told me to sit tight

hold my flesh hold your flesh you couldn't find your pickle with a

floodlight okay the bastard bought what he got you understand

you understand

Now I gotta go down and sing hearts and flowers for some candy-ass Harvard

mother from the DA's office.

Relax, huh?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Relax, relax.

Give me some gum.

The DA is here.

Who's she with? The old broad.

He wants her next.

Nothing under $100.

But speaking of that, what was it that made you first suspicious?

I didn't like his looks.

Simple as that.

Here's your dad.

Thanks. Daddy?

A policeman.

Is she ready yet?

Would you give her a chance to breathe?

Give us a break, will you? Just a touch. He was shot.

You know, maybe she pulled him off the street.

A bull?

You've got to be kidding.

Why not?

Oh, buddy, that's class. Class is class.

Ass is class.

Ass is ass.

Forget it. Do I have to?

Let me go get her a cup of coffee.

What do you want to do, kill her?

That's our only witness.

When the assailant brought Miss Devereaux out, was Officer Lacey nervous

in any way?

I don't know. He shoved me through my door, and I was hiding.

It's one mechanical dog.

Whoopee! Checky! One, two, three, four.

Five electric pamexes.

Check.

One switchblade.

Check.

And one fake hand grenade. You sure?

You too, Dad.

Bye-bye.

Coffee?

Thank you.

The district attorney will be talking to you in just a few minutes. Meanwhile,

just make yourself at home.

Look. I understand how you feel. My little girl was raped last year.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Believe me, life goes on.

What happens now? In what sense?

The man on my apartment. Oh, he's on ice by now.

Do you know him well?

No.

I never even saw him before.

Well, you seem so concerned.

It's just hard to believe that... Believe me, you'd be dead, too, if it

wasn't for Officer Lacey.

Give me Miss Devereux. Would you like to wait out in the hall? Now the D.A. will

be ready in a moment.

Just take a seat right out there.

Do your rape number? Ah, screw you.

Top with you?

Sure, I turned the trick with the policeman in this station.

Yeah, and I'm going to tell every fucking thing, too. How you like that,

you stinking, dirty rat, you?

I'm going to tell your mama the next time, too.

Oh, child, what are you doing here looking all terrible and haggard?

I'm a witness. A witness, my, you know what? What kind of witness are you?

I want out of this place.

I'm going to court and I'm going to tell everybody.

I had a trick named Rick and he turned out to be a dick. How you like that?

Yeah, go to hell.

Yeah, you don't like that too much, do you?

Haggard looking thing, you stinking cop of you.

Get off of me. Don't even touch me. I don't even want you touching me.

I've got a little paperwork to do. If you need me, I'll be right down the

hall. Okay.

Okay.

Mr. Lacey.

Yeah?

Wasn't there any other way at all?

Yeah.

He could have killed you.

Could have killed my partner, and he could have killed me before they brought

him down.

That's it.

I want to thank you for saving my life.

Pulled you toward the door, is that correct?

Yeah.

Officer Lacy then ordered him to release you, right?

Then what happened?

I fell to the floor.

I was hysterical.

But what did you see?

I can't remember.

I was crying.

I was just...

Look, Captain, let me run it for you, right?

I maneuvered the assailant up against the wall and told him to drop his blade.

And?

Well, he started to, but then, for some reason, the mutt lunged at me. What was

that, Lacey?

I'm no soothsayer, Captain. I'm a cop.

And as a cop, you thought your life was in danger. Right, right. There's no

doubt about it. It was his ass or mine. So you fired at him. Right. I got off.

Two rounds, frontal from about three feet.

So he released me.

And you fell to the floor.

Yes. And your assailant turned on the officer with a knife.

Your assailant, he turned on the officer with a knife, right?

Now, from the shots, slow motion.

Well, uh, the, uh, victim was hysterical. She passed out.

The assailant fell on top of her, so I, uh, lifted him up, dragged him off, and

that's when the backup units came in.

Okay.

I know this has been a strain on you, Mr. Admiral.

Thanks for your cooperation.

We'll be in touch.

I think I owe all of you the thanks.

Mr. Winston.

Beard.

Don't let those bums get you down.

I won't, sir.

Miss Devereaux, can I give you a lift home?

Oh, no, thanks. Don't bother yourself, Mr. Lacey. I can get a cab.

Never let it be written in the big book upstairs that Ed Lacey left the lady

stranded in the wee hours of the morning.

Here's my chariot, right here.

No, no, this way.

Come on.

out of admiration for you, Miss Devereaux.

How's that?

Well, you might think I'm just talking about courage, but that's nothing to be

sneezed at, of course.

Well, what are you talking about?

Well, what I admire about you is your mind, your accomplishments.

See, two things that I appreciate more than anything else in the world are mind

and accomplishment.

Hey, look.

See this brownstone building right here?

See that one right there?

That's where they got that cop last month.

Remember reading about it in the papers?

They got this cop, they chopped him up in little pieces, put him in plastic

bags, and spread him out in garbage cans all over the city. Happened right there

in that brownstone.

What was I talking about?

You know, I realize that you're kind of upset about that fellow.

But I gave him every chance, and you know it, right?

When you're looking at me, you're not just looking at Ed Lacey, the cop.

You're looking at society.

You see, I represent society.

So when that guy goes against me, he's going against everybody, understand?

You know what it would have cost to bring that dude to trial?

I don't think in those terms.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, of course not. Neither do I. I mean, it's a human life at stake, right?

Yeah.

But it's a good thing your case never went to trial.

If your rape case ever went to trial, those civil liberties lawyers would have

had it look like you were hustling that dude.

I wasn't raped.

Yeah, but you could have been.

This is my house, Mr. Lacey.

Oh, yeah.

Let me tell you something.

You and me, we're lucky to be sitting here right now, you know?

I mean, that black dude could have got both of us.

Yes, that's right, and you have my profound thanks.

Good night.

I'll see you in.

See, uh, Miss Devereaux can... Now, look, this is strictly on the up-and-up,

okay? Can you and me maybe have coffee together sometime?

Uh, maybe we can.

We'll see.

Good night, Mr. Lacey.

Good night, Miss Devereaux.

Hey, Hunter, I still need the addresses for those chicks in the second.

Well,

how do you like it?

You don't think it makes me look too liberal?

I gave Buckley the same haircut.

It's perfect.

It's just the right combination of old guard establishment with a smidgen of

youth appeal.

How about some crayon? Maybe we can fool some of the people.

How do you like it, Mary Lou?

Where are we going for lunch?

And now for the good news.

Find them.

Mrs. Lacey.

Okay, now, what we're going to do is, in a few minutes, the technicians will come

in. They're all set up outside, and we'll go out on the porch, and your

daddy will be introduced, and everything will be okay. Where's the kid?

I'm depending on you, all right?

What should I do with all these posters? I can't handle them.

I think he's nervous. You better talk to him.

I'm nervous.

Hey, here he is!

Hey, Mr. Roddy, I can't go on. I've got nothing to say.

It's okay, it's okay. Now, you listen to me here. I'll talk to him.

You just say what you feel.

That's good enough for us.

Come on, come on. Let it wait a while.

Because when we step through that door, it's you and me together, right down the

line to Gracie Mansion.

What do you mean? I mean every time I'm up on a platform from here on in, I want

you up there with me.

Oh, I can't do that. I'm a cop.

Take a leave of absence.

Starting tonight, you're on our team.

I don't know. I'm gonna have to think about that. All right, all right. Think

about it. Just remember one thing.

That door is your future.

Ready, Mr. Riley? Okay. Come on, let's go.

Hey, Mr. Riley, should I have my uniform on?

Oh,

that beautiful Irish face, you could go out there and make it. Come on. Okay.

Mrs. Lacey, you look marvelous.

In our continuing coverage of the Mail... Mr. Grace, we have come to this

modest all-American neighborhood in this simple location to talk to one of the

candidates. Mr. Kevin Enough is Enough Riley.

Mr. Riley, could you tell us, sir, some of your immediate plans? You bet.

If I'm elected, heroes like Officer Edward Lacey will

not only be guarding our homes, our sidewalks, our businesses, and...

Aloysius Lacey, who is in a key position in the higher echelons of New York City,

the greatest city in the entire world. Is that so? That's right. Let's hear you

say it.

You are the most beautiful key position in the higher echelons of New York City.

Say it again.

You are the most beautiful higher echelon in the key points of New York

City. Come on, get it right.

You are the most beautiful key position in the higher echelons of New York. You

see, I said it right.

Dismissed.

I'd like to make a change of statement. Could I see Detective Baker or Buckley,

please? What is this in reference to?

Could I tell them?

What is your name?

Miss Devereaux. D-E-V-E-R-A-U-X.

Okay, Miss Devereaux. Have a seat.

The phone's ringing.

Yeah, I hear it. The phone's ringing.

You're, uh... You got no idea.

Never will.

Two-one squad, Detective Baker.

Hello, darling.

Hello, Fleet Heart.

We have a Miss Devereaux out here with a new song.

Jesus, well, Glorioski, we're on our way.

What's that?

You don't believe the shot this guy just... He hit that wall so hard, the

guy behind him fell down and four guys jumped and started running.

Hey, hey, hey, Miss Devereaux, Miss Devereaux has second thoughts?

You don't say. Mm-hmm. Good partner or bad?

There's not a bad bone in my body. I will be so happy to go downstairs and

talk to that goddamn pain in the ass Jesus Christ. Why does he go bother

somebody else? Who was that?

Hey, Miss Devereaux. How are you?

How's that cello of yours?

It'll survive, I think. Oh, I'm glad to hear that. Hey, I forgot to mention it

last night. Do you know that my little girl plays the cello?

The one that was raped?

Uh, no, the other one.

You've got quite a memory.

That's really why I'm here.

You haven't got another homicide for us, have you?

I didn't have the last one.

What's the problem?

I'd like to make a change of statement.

Okay. Just follow me.

Coffee? Coke?

Jujufruits?

I'm saying that he didn't have a knife in his hand when Officer Lacey shot him.

I want you to be very, very careful, Miss Devereaux.

What you're saying could ruin a fine man's career.

You could send him away for a long, long time.

Well, I'm only telling the truth.

Then what's that?

Officer Lacy shot him in cold blood?

I don't know what his duty was under the circumstances.

I just know what I saw.

All right, thank you very much. Have a good day, Miss Devereaux.

What do you want, a brass band?

Well, what about the district attorney?

I'll pass the information on to the district attorney, and thank you very

much, Miss Devereaux.

You think she's telling the truth. God damn it.

If it was anybody but Lacey, I'd say no.

I guess you're right.

I just want you to know, without any crying on my beard, that I love you

guys.

Come on, no, no, no kidding. No, seriously.

I want you to know that no matter how high I go, Ed Lacey's door is always

open to his old pal.

I'll make you a member of Shin Fan.

Andrew, the Debra old girl came back today.

She changed her statement.

Oh, yeah? What'd she say?

She says you blew that guy away.

Jesus, I'm fucking bored.

Shit, it's over.

Goddamn it.

Come on. Come on. I'll buy you a drink.

Come on. Come on. It's going to be all right. It's all right.

Hey, listen, I love that show.

Well, no kidding. It was great.

And you were out of this world.

Terrific. Thank you very much. You know, that's the best show since Oklahoma in

my book. I only hope it runs half as long.

You don't have to worry about a thing. Here we go.

Bourbon and rocks for the law and a boilermaker for the lady.

Thanks, honey.

Thank you. How you been, Ed?

I'm still living.

Who's your friend?

And where's your wife?

The who is Miss Devereaux.

The where is at home where she belongs.

Oh, this Irishman's always got an answer.

Always. I can see that. Well, my beautiful weight-watching bucket

wouldn't be here right now if he didn't. Come on, Annie, get in the wind, will

you? Oh, you hear that? He's bashful.

You want me to slap an after-hours on you? Listen to him.

Honey, this bozo here saved my life. Just ignore her. She'll go away.

No, I want to hear.

So little boy Blue here comes through that door, he tells us a story, he goes,

drop that knife!

Quick boat charges, and pretty boy here gets off five rounds before he takes the

knife right in the chest. Come on, Annie, now, get out of here. Scram, I

mean it.

I hate modesty.

Gave me to show you scar, honey.

Boy, what a carry.

So that's why we came here.

What are you trying to tell me?

I got 18 years on the force.

Yeah. I got six commendations for bravery.

I'm sure you have.

And without any violin music, I got a wife and kid at home.

And in two years, I can retire.

I hope you do. I mean that.

Then listen to me, please.

You must have seen that fella had a knife in his hand when I shot him.

No, I didn't see that.

Do you realize I saved your life?

If you'll excuse me now, I have to go.

All I want for you to do is think it over. Now, you'd do that for anybody,

right?

Let me buy you a drink, Annie.

This isn't easy for me.

Officer Lazy saved my life, but I know the man is a psychopath.

So now you're a psychiatrist, Miss Dudley.

No.

But as I told you the other night, I was in the car with him and...

Why are you making this tough for me?

Because you made it tough for me.

The other night you were hysterical.

Well, I'm not hysterical now, and I know that man didn't have a knife in his

hand.

I want to warn you, Miss Duffer, the other side of truth is perjury.

I'll take my chances.

That's why I called you in.

Get Captain Stark on the line.

You got the kill.

Bang, bang!

Slow, slow.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Aside from the abrasions on the knees where he hit the floor, there's a

massive contusion on the right buttock and a small chip at the upper left

femur. Could that have happened when he fell?

That's not very likely.

Where you been?

I got hung up.

What's your rush?

I'm supposed to leave the precinct at 11.30. Be on time.

Well, thanks for letting me know, fellas. Believe me, I'm grateful.

Anytime.

It's good to know you're behind me.

Have some coffee before you leave.

Oh, boy.

Cut him loose.

I got something to tell you, Ed.

Now, don't flip out, all right?

The Bobsy Twins flagged me down.

You been exposing yourself again?

This is serious, Ed.

It's the Devereaux thing.

What'd they want from you?

They wanted to know where the blade was when I came into the hall.

Motherfuckers! You ain't taking this thing seriously.

I have to.

That dizzy snatch over me?

That's not the point. You're going to blow my job off, fucking nigger!

Look, the broad keeps changing her story. What am I supposed to do? You're

supposed to shovel some shit on and start whistling Dixie, just like I do

for you.

Look, Ed, there's too much heat on us. There's no way.

to four at the same time.

Sorry, ma'am. Just finishing up.

What are you doing here?

I thought you were going to think about it. I did.

Sally... Sometimes I worry about you.

Well, don't. I can take care of myself.

You didn't do so hot in that hallway, if you remember.

Neither did you.

Sally.

Gotcha.

Are you threatening me?

That time it was just for funsies.

Oh, no.

This time it's for keepsies, Mr. Lacey.

Then I'm gonna do what I have to do.

Give it to me straight.

What do you want me to do?

Take a vacation, Ed. I ain't tired.

Go sick.

Never felt better in my life.

I got no choice, Ed.

Negative! It's an order, Ed. You take your vacation now.

Negative!

All right, give me your weapon.

You're suspended.

My peace?

You want my peace?

Okay, then you take it all. So much for bravery. Out to the shore. Above and

beyond. 18 goddamn years. You want my peace? Relax.

Six looks, Captain.

Five for you and one for that lying bitch.

You're a little fishy.

You want my peace? Well, take my peace and shove it up your ass!

Scumbag!

I was gonna ask for a leave of absence, anyway.

It isn't fair, Ed.

It's the beginning of a whole new career for us, kiddo.

I'm still a top echelon of the top echelon, right?

You

nervous?

I get keyed up myself.

Every time I get keyed up. Never failed.

Has he got any make-up? No.

I don't want any makeup on him. I think he looks great the way he is.

Fine, we're making a puzzle over him.

And you better get used to it, soldier.

Because when the count is in, it's you and me together, right down the road to

Gracie Mansion.

No, I mean it. I mean it. It's the best thing that can happen to a young fellow,

really.

I mean, you came out of the Army. You've gone to college. You've got a degree.

City government is the most rewarding thing that a young fellow can tackle.

I remember when I started.

Excuse me, I'll be right with you.

Oh, for God's sake, didn't they call you, fella? What the hell kind of

organization have I got here? It's all right, Mr. Raleigh, I can skip the

makeup. That's not the point, Ed. You see, it's as simple as this.

I, uh... The truth is, I think that you're a little overexposed right now.

So I figure we all figure that we should save you for the big push later on.

Right? You know what I mean.

Yeah,

sure. Good boy.

Okay, now I'll see you around.

Go clean up your room. I don't want to. What is this I don't want to? Now don't

hassle me. Go clean up your room.

Move. Come on.

But,

uh, what precisely do you want, my friend?

I want a scare.

Boo or boo-hoo?

Boo-hoo. And bad.

Bodily injury?

No. Better safe than sorry.

I just wanted a piss in a pants.

Well, I think we can arrange that.

uh please have the sugar sure i don't have any i'm sorry oh

it's right here i'm sorry to have bothered you want the paper petey

Thank you.

No, no, no.

I want Lacey locked up.

On what ground?

He was the one behind that accident.

A fat hit-and-run driver doesn't necessarily add up to Ed Lacey.

Look, that fat man followed me all day long, and I've never seen him before in

my life.

Besides, I told you, Lacey threatened me.

Look, miss, you want protection, we'll give it to you. We'll put you in a hotel

room, give you round-the-clock guards shipping your meals from the Hojo's, and

you'll be safe, but you gotta stay there.

You... I can't do that. I've got a job.

Is that the best you can do?

No, we'll give you a policewoman 24 hours a day. But wherever you go, she

goes. Would I be safe then?

Let me tell you, I can put the whole force on this. You step out of your

door, and if somebody really wants to kill you, you're dead.

You want that policewoman?

No, I don't.

What happened?

Got the money.

You're only supposed to scare her.

And I did.

She crossed 79th Street.

I caught her right in the middle.

It was beautiful.

I scared the living shit out of her.

And snuffed out two others in the bargain.

Ah, cabbie crossed me.

When you blow it, you really blow it, don't you?

Look, my friend.

Accidents will happen even when things are planned.

I bought a professional.

And I gave you professional advice.

Kill the girl.

When you want to keep a mouth closed, you close it.

Grab your stuff.

Well, you could give me a hand at least.

Lacey! Did you bring the TV?

Well, fuck you then.

Lacey!

Where are we going?

You gotta get invisible for a while.

Out here?

Well, where am I gonna eat?

You don't give a shit about anybody but yourself.

Walk jobs?

Oreos. Oh, boy.

Hey, Lacey, you forgot the Fig Newtons.

Oh, my God. How much further?

We're almost there. Shut up.

What's this?

Pet graveyard.

Hey.

What the hell is going on here?

Not today.

Please.

Oh, Daddy, we're going to look for the... I mean, the Spanish coins today.

Get Spanish coins today.

Tomorrow, Susie.

No, today. Come on, tomorrow. Get out of here.

Today. Susie, would you go in the house and feed your mice like I told you three

times already this morning?

If anybody asks, I gone fishing. You understand that? Fishing!

Thank you, Susie.

Thanks a lot, Mrs. Missy.

So? She said she doesn't know where he is, and Susie says he's gone fishing.

Yeah, have we not? We had to check it.

Now we have this note. What's this note with one flag?

One at a time. Hey, none of that. What's this one at a time?

Now a note with two flags.

Okay, that's all we're going to study for today.

And next week, we're going to take up variable rhythms.

And you can stay after class, okay?

All right, why don't we just sing a song before we go?

no answer so we wait till she turns up dead beautiful

Oh.
