Bye.
Let me know, Kay. They want an answer right away.
Okay. Bye-bye.
Don't you think it is?
It's $150,000.
Yeah, for this dump. Go ahead and say it.
Great price.
Not gonna go very far in California.
You know, there's something to be said for hanging on to what you got.
California's a big change.
You might hate it.
Yeah.
No snow or wind, no humidity.
All that sun.
You sound like you really want me to stay.
Bruce thinks it's a bad time to cash out of the investment.
What do you think?
Commercial real estate's in the dumper. You'd never get back what you put into
it.
I don't care about the money. Just get me out of it. I don't want to be his
partner in anything.
The message I'm getting is that Bruce can't handle the financial strain.
Well, that's his problem, not mine.
You sure you're not trying to punish him?
Bruce was always looking to get something for nothing.
But he was careless.
With money and with love.
But if it teaches him a lesson, that's fine. But it's not why I'm doing it.
Well, I'll take it back to them.
Rodney Jamison, just turned 21.
Senior up at Baxter College.
I don't know, Fugate.
I never got much past high school, but this doesn't look like student housing
to me.
This kid a dealer?
Kid's dad founded Consolidated Television.
Bought him a condo as an investment.
Yeah, I hear that dormitory food is pretty bad.
Sure beats a nine-millimeter slug in the pump.
Kid was a straight arrow.
Editor of some off-campus paper, the Great Lakes Review.
Real anti-drug.
Any suspects?
Rodney Jameson in the paper had a lot of enemies.
The murdering kind?
Well, he had some death threats, reported them to homicide.
I'll have them on your desk in the morning.
Just, uh, hate mail.
We're a bunch of crazies.
You know, die yuppie scum, that sort of thing.
No one with the guts to sign their name.
Well, of course, Gold wants to see us.
Rodney Jameson's father is rich, and so this case has political ramifications.
Scott Holcomb, Meredith Little. This is Tess Kaufman, the assistant DA, and an
investigator, Detective Cobb.
Meredith and Scott both worked with Rodney Jameson on the Great Lakes
Review. Rodney didn't deserve this.
We want you to arrest Samuel Gunn. We're sure that he did it.
Any teacher Baxter? He's an incompetent English professor whom Rodney exposed.
For what?
For being an unqualified fraud. No PhD.
A master's from some podunk teacher's college.
Why'd they hire him?
He wrote a novel about 15 years ago.
About growing up poor and bumming around America. No substance.
Gunn went crazy when Rodney exposed him.
He threatened him.
He even smashed a camera Rodney brought to his class.
It looks like he disappeared.
Cops have warrants for search and arrest. I want you to meet them at his
apartment. Is this for real?
Make sure it gets done right.
The press is going to be all over this one.
Michael, got anything?
He ain't there. At least he ain't coming to the door.
Got a warrant?
Get the super. Let's go in.
I understand you're arresting Samuel Gunn.
Who are you?
Patrick Pierce.
The writer.
Reporter? I like to think of myself as a little more than that.
I write books.
How do you know about the warrant? We just found out about it.
The son of Wilford Jameson doesn't get killed every day.
And if Samuel Gunn did it... What?
Fireworks. This case will blow the lid off all the multicultural affirmative
action garbage that's lowering standards all over this country.
Is that happy about it?
I'm never happy about somebody else's misfortune, especially a gifted
individual like Rodney Jameson. But if there's a lesson to be drawn from this
tale, I'm not afraid to tell it.
It's nice to know there's such courageous individuals on the job.
Thank you.
Bed's unmade, but there's no murder weapon.
You think he read all these books?
Yeah, I do.
And he wrote one, too.
Samuel Gunn ran away from his broken home in Ohio at the age of 14.
Hitchhiked and hoboed around the United States until he joined the Army and
served in Vietnam.
Sounds like good training to me.
They're the fixer.
That's two more stories. Used as Afro-American lit class to denounce
people in power, including those who pay his salary. Gunn, who once boasted about
a combined SAT score of less than a thousand, should be taking a course in
remedial grammar rather than teaching courses in advanced literature.
He was riled up after reading this.
I'll have to find him.
Yeah.
I told those other policemen he didn't show up or call in today.
I didn't say a thing to that Patrick Pierce.
Yeah, he's a real piece of work.
He was a decent writer until success and the bottle took him down.
Now he's trying to find a scandal to build himself back up.
He's a worm.
Anybody else in the department talk to Gunn?
He doesn't have any close friends here.
Mr. Gunn's a different type of person.
What do you think of him?
Things can get a little precious and stuffy around here, Detective Cobb.
Samuel has his eccentricities, but I find them refreshing.
He made me laugh.
The Great Lakes Review thinks he's a lousy teacher.
By their standards, I'm sure he is.
Aren't there certain things you have to teach her?
Do you read much?
Um, my last girlfriend tried to get me interested.
I don't have a lot of free time.
Well, literature teaches you that life is complex.
The kids here have never experienced someone like Samuel.
I think most of them would agree he added something to their lives.
You think he murdered Rodney Jameson?
Rodney and his little group have been trying to crucify him for years.
You didn't answer my question.
Samuel killed Rodney.
I wouldn't blame him if he did.
We don't even have...
Samuel Gunn in custody yet. And Patrick Pierce has tried and convicted him in
the editorial page.
Well, freedom of the press might... I hate slugs like Patrick Pierce.
Guys who change gossip into headlines. Guys who destroy a life today and then
move on to another one tomorrow.
I know that Samuel Gunn is news. I mean...
So is the fact that the cops are demoralized and that the school system
is broke.
But I would at least like to see Samuel Gunn before I make up my mind.
I am not on edge.
It's the holiday blues.
You need someone to love.
You're passing on a great opportunity, Arthur. You really ought to think about
it.
Hi, Tessie.
You're looking great.
Think it over, Arthur.
You know where you can get a hold of me.
See you, Tess.
What's that about?
The divorce has changed Bruce's financial picture. He's looking for
partners to take over your investment.
You're not going to do it, are you? Yeah, right.
I'm what the city pays me.
As a friend, Arthur, please don't get involved with Bruce.
It would make working with you very difficult.
Scouts on her.
What's he doing?
Selling plots of land in the middle of Lake Michigan?
Yeah.
Yeah, she'll be right there.
Sam gun just turned himself in you got nothing on me and you know it
Now where do you come off breaking into my place?
We're looking for a murder weapon We thought we had just cause So the judge
who issued the warrant cuz what cuz some pampered little rich kids think I killed
Jameson I would not waste the bullet. I have to strongly advise you not to talk
to these people. This is something you and I
I have been Mirandized.
And from here on out, my brother, I'm gonna handle this myself.
You're making a big mistake.
You don't seem to understand.
Now, I could have had any lawyer I wanted to.
ACLU people, William Kunstler, you name it. I don't need them and I don't need
you. Bye.
Now... You all better charge me with something.
Or let me go.
You have the right to hold you 48 hours.
On what evidence?
You threatened Rodney Jameson.
Everyone knows you hated him. Most of the other students did, too.
I don't see none of them down here.
None of them left town.
I was out doing research, mingling with my people.
Even though you had classes?
A lot of other teachers go on conferences and symposiums. They leave
classes. My conferences are in the streets, finding out what's really on
people's minds.
Hopefully you have some witnesses.
Lady, the people I hang with don't even have addresses.
All right.
48 hours, then I'm out of here.
The cab will take you home, Jamie. You can pick up your car tomorrow.
Thanks. Yeah, you'll be all right.
Closing bars, Dickie.
I don't know.
Yup. I don't know either, Kay.
Make a lot of money tonight?
It's been real good lately.
Gonna make the new owners happy.
Maybe you can jack up the price.
There aren't gonna be any new owners.
I thought you were renting your U-Haul and headed for California.
Not this month.
Well, that's the best Christmas gift I could think of.
What's the deal?
I don't know.
Maybe with everything that's happened, I'd be better off staying put until the
dust settles.
That's what I've been saying to you, Kate.
You gotta stay close to your friends, too.
I don't want to run someplace just to get away.
I'll take some time and figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
Well, don't be a cop.
That'll run you down.
Yeah, so... Something else is grinding you down.
Do you want to come back to my place and talk about it?
Maybe some other time.
I gotta get up early.
Gotta go talk to those college kids.
Are you sure you can drive?
John's driving.
Good night.
Good
morning.
Good morning.
It smells great.
This is terrific.
What are you smiling about?
You can make breakfast for me every day if you want it. It's my idea of heaven.
You're nuts.
Hey.
I'm a romantic.
I can't help it.
I like it. But don't trust me.
I only rush because the men in my family, they die young.
Yeah. My father, 55.
His father at 50. I just, I don't want to miss anything.
You out.
Cut it out.
Cut it.
It's okay.
I know you need time to work it out with...
Bruce, I just like being with you.
I want you to meet my family.
Look, it's just a friendly visit over the holidays.
Please, please, please, please.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Great. Rodney's dad donated his whole collection to the museum.
He wanted to raise people's appreciation of the finer things.
It was worth over a million dollars.
Sort of makes you want to break out the old hammer and chisel, doesn't it?
Samuel Gundon approved.
He dismissed it as a, quote, typical excess of the ruling class, end quote.
That what made Rodney Jameson go after him?
Rodney's only purpose was to maintain standards, not to lower them.
And surely you understand.
Hey, I'm just a cop.
And you work hard. And you want to be rewarded accordingly.
Not have someone promoted ahead of you because of his race.
Someone who didn't know as much or work as hard.
Lots of people get things they don't deserve through connections.
Or even because their parents have money.
Hey, just because life isn't fair doesn't mean we have to settle for
mediocrity. Was Gunn really that bad?
Sounds like most of the students here really liked him. He didn't belong here.
We get PhDs applying from Harvard and Stanford that we can't hire.
Well, looks like you're going to have an opening now.
Does that mean you think Gunn's guilty?
Guilty or not, I wouldn't want to come back here.
Seems like you people already know everything anyway.
Thanks.
We know Gunn's in custody. What's he saying?
You'll hear it all in court. Yes, but what's his state of mind? You've been
his grand jury? All in good time, Pierce. Let's not forget Samuel Gunn has
his rights too. Yes, and what about Rodney Jameson's rights, Mr. Gold?
Surely somebody... Ah, the district attorney's intrepid one-two punch.
Come up with any evidence yet?
For what?
Oh, don't play dumb, Cobb, no matter how natural the role may seem.
People are hungry for an indictment. And Patrick Pierce?
is hungry for another big story and another book.
You know, Pierce, I hear your reputation's beginning to sag.
Well, is that so?
Yeah.
Sorry.
Gag warning.
It's kind of giving me great joy to read that man's obituary.
Gotta give me something to copy.
I need to charge Samuel Gunn and let him go.
We'll get the ballistic report after lunch. Find out what the carpet sweepers
found. They can't give us anything.
I don't have to cut them loose.
If I can't find anything to give the grand jury, then I can't indict them.
Well, we have to file charges against someone. The black students at Baxter
are up in arms.
And the political side of this thing keeps ballooning. I've already had a
phone call from the mayor.
I wouldn't worry about it.
You scored high points when you nailed Oliver and Staley.
You're only as good as your last case.
I could lose those points like that.
Happy holidays.
I'm really glad you initiated this, Tess.
What's on your mind?
You and my friends.
What about me and your friends?
Investments.
I consider Arthur to be a colleague.
And as far as this particular investment is concerned, you have no one to blame
but yourself.
Me? You're putting on the squeeze to liquidate. I haven't got the capital to
buy you out. And frankly...
I can't take the loss on selling a depressed property.
It's not my fault.
You agreed when I got into it.
This investment was for both of us, for the future.
It was because you were greedy.
Oh, I'm greedy.
On top of everything else, I'm greedy.
Sorry.
I don't know what to say.
Don't talk to my friends.
Be decent.
Fine.
There's plenty of other people I can go to.
Thank you.
Dickie.
Hey, Sean. Hey, I was just looking for Tess.
We've got a meeting with Samuel Gunn.
Looks like we finally got enough to charge him. He was a teacher of mine.
You went to Baxter College?
You don't look like a rich kid. I had a scholarship.
Ah, smart kid, huh? Poor anyway.
I took guns class because I needed some easy English credits. Real gut, right?
Well, I mean, the reading and writing load was lighter, but he had us do other
things. You know, music, movies, interviewing street people, even kids in
the projects.
Doesn't sound like your classical education.
He knew that stuff backwards and forwards, but we don't live in classical
times. One of my best friends is teaching on the south side because of
gun. He'd probably be playing the ponies otherwise.
You think he could have killed Rodney Jameson?
Those kids, they can make you feel so low sometimes you want to kill them.
Speaking from experience?
Like I said, I was on scholarship. I didn't have money to burn on anything.
I mean, Baxter, it's a great school, and I had some terrific friends, but the
condescension from the really snotty guys, I'll carry that around the rest of
my life.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Just what I said.
Rodney Jamison was killed with a 9mm handgun. You are the owner of a 9mm
handgun. Me and 8 million other people.
It was taken in a burglary six months ago.
You reported the burglary?
Yeah, a lot of good it did me.
Including the missing gun?
No, I didn't discover that miss until about three months ago.
Did you report it then?
What for? Reporting the other stuff didn't do me no good.
We also have fiber evidence that matches your clothing.
I buy my clothes off the rack in discount stores like a whole lot of
other people.
Now, is there anything else y'all wanted to say?
We're hoping there's something you wanted to say to us.
The sooner you confess, the sooner we can make a deal.
The grand jury will indict you.
And we can convict you on circumstantial evidence.
Then get it, all right? Get it, damn it.
I want my day in court. I'm gonna make mincemeat out of all of y'all, okay?
Hey, God!
Come on, man, take me back to jail.
How you doing, Dickie?
A little far downtown for you, isn't it, Bruce?
Depends what you're looking for.
I need your help.
You need my help? I need you to talk to Tess.
Whoa.
Getting on shaky ground here, Bruce. It's a shaky situation.
I could use a drink.
I don't think he can wait.
What's this all about?
The divorce.
This investment she wants to cash out of is hurting me.
Here? Or here? I'm overextended. I need time to put together new investors. You
know how it is.
When it comes to investments, Bruce, I definitely don't know how it is.
Will you talk to her?
Ask her to give me some more time?
Sorry, Bruce.
No can do.
She's a friend of mine.
Good friend.
And I care about her a lot.
And I don't have the foggiest idea of what you're trying to do.
But that's what you got lawyers for.
You going down?
Thanks.
I'll wait.
Mr. Gunn, you've been indicted by a grand jury and been charged with the
murder of Rodney Jameson.
I need to be sure that you fully understand the gravity of the situation.
Yes, I do, Your Honor. I would also like you to reconsider your decision to be
your own counsel in this matter. The phrase, defendant who represents himself
as a fool for a client, is not without merit.
Well, I appreciate it, Your Honor, but I have made my way going against
conventional wisdom.
I see no reason to change horses this late in the race.
All right, let's set the bell.
The people feel that Mr. Gunn has already shown himself to be a flight
risk.
We therefore ask that bail be denied.
Mr. Gunn?
Should Your Honor deem it necessary, I shall be content to make my home among
the city's prisoners.
I was out of town doing research during the time of the murder.
When I found out I was a suspect, I immediately turned myself in.
Ms. Kaufman?
This is a man who has ample opportunity for disappearing among the people.
He celebrates in his work.
Because the defendant has lived and worked at the same location for over a
decade, bail is set at $50,000.
And no more field trips, Mr. Gunn.
Yes, Your Honor.
Well, it's always a racial plot, isn't it?
Not always.
Sometimes. Oh, I love it. Dickie Cobb, well-known headbreaker, spouting liberal
cant. I thought you were one of the good guys, Cobb.
That means agreeing with you, Pierce.
I guess I'm out of luck.
You mean you think he's innocent?
Mr. Gunn!
Going back out on the road again?
I'm going back to teach my classes. These kids need me.
Well, you've got a whole new life, or is it death experience for them now,
haven't you?
Yeah, I reckon so.
But you're not going back to teach, Mr. Gunn.
Maybe you haven't heard. The college has relieved you of your teaching duties
until this is cleared up.
They can't do that.
Perhaps they didn't send the news to your jail cell.
No wonder you're washed up as a writer.
You can't stand to look at anything that's a little different from yourself.
Come on! Yes,
Mr. Gunn?
Come on.
Miss Kaufman?
Detective Cobb?
This is Benny Stubblefield. He's the maintenance man in the building where
Rodney Jameson was killed.
I think we just caught a break in this case. Would you mind telling them what
you just told me?
Well, like I said, that night, afternoon, it was right around five when
I get off.
I heard this noise.
What kind of noise?
Bam, like a firecracker.
I didn't pay no mind.
Saw a couple of people leave the building, and I went home myself.
Had a couple of days off. Went to see my sister in Peoria.
I didn't even know about the killing until today.
Go on, Mr. Stubblefield.
Well, it was him.
A teacher.
He's one of the men left the building.
You're sure?
Oh, yeah.
Recognized his face in the paper.
Even what he was wearing.
You'll testify to this? I testified I saw him in the building.
I didn't see him kill no one.
This was definitely...
After the gunshot? Oh, yeah.
Guy had a weird walk.
I didn't know he was a celebrity.
Oh, hell.
I don't know what's wrong.
I should be happy about putting a lock on this case.
Detective Cobb.
We understand they found a witness who can identify guns.
How do you understand that? We're journalists, Detective Cobb. I mean, we
have our sources.
You are...
College kids.
This is police business. This is business that concerns us all.
Rodney Jameson was our friend and colleague.
And Samuel Gunn is a murderer.
Well, he wasn't before your precious friend Rodney decided to make it his
life's work to cut him off at the knees.
What are you saying, detective?
I'm saying that Samuel Gunn tried to bring something new into those stuffy
old classrooms of yours.
Something that would have added a little grit to that.
Good suburban life you live. Don't try to blame this psychopath's lack of
control on Rodney.
Rodney spent three years trying to destroy the man's life.
Go on, get out of here. Why don't you just tell me what you were... Go get
your good friend Patrick Pierce and scream your self-righteous crap from the
rooftops. But if either one of you ever come around this building again... I
will find a way to lock you up.
Go!
Mr. Stubblefield identified your photograph.
He identified you this morning in a police lineup, and he will identify you
in trial.
Come on with it.
Mr. Gunn, I'm not trying to railroad you or intimidate you.
I am trying to give you the facts.
If you insist on going to trial with this, you will probably spend the rest
of your life in prison.
You don't call that intimidation.
I call that reality.
If you would confess, throw yourself on the mercy of the courts, you would
receive a much lighter sentence.
I like you, Ms. Kaufman.
You know that?
It's obvious you've overcome some adversity in your life.
I'm surprised you went over to the other side.
I'm talking about you, Mr. Gunn, not me. We are talking about all of us.
How everyone gets diminished by this kind of garbage.
I can't believe you'd expect me to confess because some clown comes out of
the woodwork.
Wilbur Jameson probably put him on the payroll.
Is that all you have to say?
You want me to wish you a Merry Christmas?
Soon could
Put
it on it's about the
investment I Can't raise the money the
fact It's too big a loss, Tess. I don't care. I do.
Why don't you give me a break here?
Why? Why?
I don't know.
Maybe I have been the bad guy in this marriage.
But we had some good times. We were in love.
I cared about you. You cared about me. You hurt me. And I'm sorry I hurt you,
Tessie. But hurting me is not going to make up for that.
I am begging you.
If this thing goes down the drain, I'm going to be ruined.
Please, show a little holiday spirit.
Just give me until the end of the month to raise the money.
Thanks, Tessie.
You'll never... Goodbye.
I appreciate you taking the night off. I appreciate the dinner and movie.
I'm just sorry you're feeling so down.
Ah, this case is getting to me.
Sean Kelly told me about a couple other teachers.
One's a drunk.
The other's a lecher.
No one will touch either one of them because of their connections.
I gotta take Gunn down tomorrow.
Frankly, it makes me sick.
What is this?
Are we in the wrong place?
New couch.
One that Crowmeyer never sat on.
I even rearranged the furniture.
That help you forget about him?
In a way.
There's something about that old couch and where it was that just gave me the
creeps.
This feels weird.
New.
But my whole life is kind of weird and new right now.
I don't know.
Feels all right to me.
Feels downright comfortable.
This is the best I've felt in this room for a long time.
I gotta do something to my place, Kay.
I'm tired of it.
You need...
Somebody in it.
That'll do a lot more for you than rearranging the furniture.
Maybe.
Truly.
I've got a big day tomorrow.
Better go get my beauty rest.
Tiki.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks, Kay. I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'll see you later.
Thanks.
I know he's interested.
I could feel it.
Like he wanted to hold me and kiss me.
Maybe even make love.
How did you feel about that?
Good.
I wanted to be with him, Mary.
Really.
And I didn't think I'd ever feel that way again.
Feelings go underground. They don't go away.
I don't know. This guy came in to look at the bar a couple of weeks ago, and he
asked me out.
I got so nervous that I ran away and hid.
Why do you think this was different?
Because I've known Dickie for a long time, and I trust him.
I love Dickie.
Not that we're gonna ever be together or anything.
But the attraction is still there.
Oh, yeah.
And he felt it, too.
But he wouldn't make a move.
Maybe he wants to leave it to you, Kay.
Are you saying... Oh, God.
Life is weird.
Hmm.
Y'all can't be serious.
I am very serious, Mr. Gunn.
The only reason why I have come back here today is because I think the Great
Lakes Review treated you very shabbily.
And I'm supposed to roll over just because you're sympathetic?
Because murder is murder.
You know you did it, and you know you'll be convicted.
I am offering you a chance to pay your debt to society and still get out of
prison with a few good years left.
What about their debt to society?
What about their cruelty?
Professor Gunn delighted in telling his composition class how a hobo taught him
to strain liquid shoe polish through bread to remove the impurities, then
drink it.
Probably the reason I can't tell an adverb from a pronoun that Professor
boasted. We see no reason to disagree.
Where'd you get that trash?
In the stand next to your reading chair. Just because I read the newspaper
doesn't prove I'm a murderer. This isn't from the newspaper, Professor.
This is from next week's galleys of the paper, probably sent to you as an
insult. Garbage.
Filthy, rotten garbage.
Samuel Gunn's favorite story, repeated and embellished year after tiresome
year, involved him being shelled in a Vietnamese house of prostitution,
occasioning our favorite author, but what's he published lately, to run buck
naked through the jungle and across the rice paddies? There are many locations
where the students of Baxter can experience the seamier side of life. The
classroom should not... be one of them. Why can't Samuel Gunn admit his
incompetence and step aside gracefully? It kind of makes you just want to wring
somebody's neck.
Stop it, doesn't it? Stop it, doesn't it? Stop it!
They didn't have the right to do that to me.
They didn't have the right to do that to anybody.
Well done, people.
Even the mayor's happy.
I'm glad somebody is.
Rodney Jameson's father called. Even in his grief, he is extremely happy that
you got Gunn to plead.
Why does it make me want to take a shower?
Lighten up, Cobb.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Great Lakes Review is having their Christmas party tonight.
Maybe you should stop by.
You going?
City Council thing.
hey tess come on let's party no not to me
you can wait for me outside this is something i gotta do
nobody
would tell me what went on you know i mean i i wish i'd been a fly on the wall
in that room hey guys i'm shaking
Detective Cobb.
You're the last person I expected to see here.
Looking for some happy people, Pierce.
You people are happy, aren't you?
We still feel badly about what happened to Rodney, Mr. Cobb.
And we appreciate what you've done.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, you know, it's not every day you get a chance to break a man, strip
him of his dignity.
I expect George Bush to declare me a point of light.
Gun's a murderer, Cobb. Pure and simple.
Gun is a murderer.
It's not pure.
And it's definitely not simple.
Have you ever worked for anything in your life?
We both work hard in school and at the paper, Mr. Cobb. But have you ever
wanted for anything?
Something that someone didn't just go out and buy you at the drop of a hat.
Have you ever gone to bed hungry?
Or maybe wake up and not know where you're going to spend the next night?
It's hardly the point. No, that is part of the point, damn it.
It's part of the experience that Samuel Gunn tried to share. And Rodney Jameson
treated it like it was nothing. His teaching was the issue, not his
experience. That's a bunch of crap and you know it.
Look, I'm real sorry about your friend.
I mean, he went after Gunn on a goof.
He picked a guy that had no money, that had no friends in high places, and he
pushed on him, and he pushed on him until he cracked.
Getting a little melodramatic, aren't we, Cobb?
Well, maybe I need to indulge myself, Pierce.
God, you make me sick.
I mean, kids like Scott and Meredith here.
I mean, these are just misled rich kids who could have learned something about
the real world from a guy like Gunn.
But you're evil.
You thrive on this kind of garbage.
And you're so empty inside, the only thing that fills you up is other
people's misery.
And I need a full meal, Pierce.
And you ain't ever gonna get enough.
And that's why you're going to be hungry until the day you die.
You want to file a complaint, there's an officer of the court outside.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
You feel better yeah a little it helps to get things off your chest
