VAN, YOUR JOB IS TO

KEEP THOSE PEOPLE IN LINE

WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU.

HE'S TRYING SO HARD.

THE MOMENT IS PASSING!

IT'S RUNNING.

READY HERE.

COME ON!

MAKE US WAIT FOR HIM...

O.K... ALL RIGHT,

LOOK AT THE CAMERA NOW.

IS IT BROKEN, JIMMY?

TWO AND A HALF YEARS,

AND WE STILL UNDERSTAND VERY

LITTLE ABOUT YOUR WIFE'S

CONDITION.

WHILE THE OUTWARD SYMPTOMS ARE

ALL TOO CLEAR, THESE

DEGENERATIVE DISORDERS ARE OFTEN

IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE,

MR. WING.

AT THE MOMENT, HER ILLNESS

SEEMS TO BE IN REMISSION.

THE NEXT ATTACK MAY BE FATAL.

WELL...

I SPOKE WITH DR. FRIES TODAY.

HE SAYS YOU'RE DOING

REALLY WELL.

NO MORE BAD DREAMS.

MAYBE, UH...

MAYBE NEXT TIME WHEN I COME

HERE, I'LL BRING YOU SOME

NEW STRING.

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

HMM? WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

I THINK IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA.

NOW, RALPH, WE GAVE YOU

A BREAK ON THE AD THE LAST TIME.

I KNOW THINGS ARE BAD.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS, ARE YOU

GONNA MAKE US WAIT AGAIN?

HI, JULIE.

OH, HERE... SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

HOW'S SHE DOING?

OH, SHE'S FINE.

AT LEAST... SHE'S SLEEPING WELL.

AHA!

THE TRAILER BRIGADE

IS AT IT AGAIN.

THEY'RE DEDICATING A PLAQUE

TODAY TO "HARP..."

"HEROES AGAINST THE RED PERIL."

WELL, THERE'S A PULITZER

FOR YOU THERE.

YEAH, SHOULD BE

WORTH A LAUGH.

YEAH.

WELL, TODAY'S COPY ISN'T WORTH

PULLING OFF THE WIRE.

HOW ABOUT STARTING A GAME

TONIGHT AT OUR PLACE?

NAN PROMISES FRESH FLOUNDER.

THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

RECORD-JOURNAL,

WING SPEAKING.

Hello, Jimmy?

Elmo here.

OH... HELLO, ELMO.

You been doing o.k.?

RELATIVELY.

Now listen, this once

I'm gonna ask you if you

can keep a secret.

YEAH, SURE, I CAN KEEP

A SECRET.

Good, I'm glad to hear that.

WHY?

Well, the Grassy Bay project

looks like it's on again...

with Mr. Burt Lesser in charge.

MM-HMM.

Of course, I'm not officially

involved but, uh...

you know how these things go.

Why don't you come on by about,

uh... TONIGHT?

Mm-hmm, around 9?

ALL RIGHT, AROUND 9.

Give you some

information then.

O.K., SEE YOU THEN.

BOY, YOU SURE KEPT

THIS ONE QUIET.

Yeah, well, I'm

still a county commissioner,

you know.

O.K., I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

WELL, WHAT'S THE GOOD

COMMISSIONER UP TO NOW?

THE USUAL.

WOULD YOU SEND A PHOTOGRAPHER

OVER TO THE TRAILER PARK FOR ME

AND TELL HIM I'LL BE LATE.

I WANNA CHECK IN ON KAT.

ONGOING CARE FOR THE

WIDOW LADY, HUH?

WE'RE FRIENDS, BRIAN.

I MAKE IT A POINT TO KEEP

ROMANCE AND FRIENDSHIP

CAREFULLY APART.

EVERY LITTLE THING IN ITS

PLACE, RIGHT, MR. WING?

RIGHT, AND LAY OFF, WILL YA?

SUNDAY MAKES A YEAR

SINCE VAN DIED.

OH.

I'M SORRY, JIMMY.

I HAD FORGOTTEN.

AND BRIAN...

ONE MORE THING.

TAKE CARE.

WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE!

COME ON!

SEE YOU, JULIE.

- HI! - HI!

HI NATALIE!

HI.

WHEW...

LET'S GO.

STAY FOR A DRINK!

OH, NOT TODAY, DIAL,

THANKS ANYWAY.

- BYE-BYE. - BYE-BYE!

TELL MR. AND MRS. SINNAT

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU!

MOM, I DIVED OFF THE

BOARD FIVE TIMES TODAY!

YOU DID? THAT'S WONDERFUL,

SWEETHEART.

HOW ABOUT YOU, ALICIA?

OF COURSE!

I'LL BE IN YOUR DAD'S STUDIO

IF YOU NEED ME.

HI, JIMMY!

HI, ALICIA! HOW YOU DOING?

HI, ROY!

WHAT ARE YOU MAKING?

A CASTLE.

WHAT KIND OF CASTLE?

A FAIRY TALE CASTLE.

HI. HI.

THIS IS WHERE THE KING

AND QUEEN LIVE, WHENEVER

THEY'RE HOME.

WHO LIVES IN THERE?

THAT'S WHERE THE

BAD PEOPLE STAY.

AHA, YOU BETTER STAY AWAY.

OW!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

COME HERE, LET ME SEE.

MWAH!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

HEY, GIVE ME A HUG.

YOU WANT TO GO BACK

AND RIDE YOUR BICYCLE?

O.K., BUT TAKE IT EASY

THIS TIME.

WANT SOME TEA?

YEAH.

SEE YOU LATER, ALICIA.

O.K., JIMMY.

I ALWAYS LIKED THAT PICTURE.

ONE OF MY FEW SUCCESSES.

I FEEL LIKE A SPECIAL OUTING

THIS WEEKEND.

HOW ABOUT SARASOTA

FOR THE CIRCUS?

YOU REMEMBERED.

OH, JIMMY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I

WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT YOU THIS

YEAR, BUT I THINK I SHOULD

CELEBRATE THIS ANNIVERSARY

ON MY OWN.

HOW ABOUT A MOVIE, THEN?

NO, I PROMISED THE KIDS

I'D TAKE THEM TO SANIBEL

FOR A PICNIC.

BUT THANKS, ANYWAY,

WE'LL DO IT AGAIN.

O.K.

ANY NEWS ON GLORIA?

NO CHANGE.

SHE'S O.K., I GUESS.

KAT, I'VE JUST LEARNED THAT

GRASSY BAY'S UP FOR GRABS AGAIN.

OH, DON'T BE SILLY,

WE STOPPED THE BAY FILL

TWO YEARS AGO.

WELL, THEY WERE OUTSIDERS.

THIS TIME IT'S LOCAL.

THEY'RE CALLING THEMSELVES THE

PALMLAND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

AND YOUR NEIGHBOR BURT LESSER

IS HEADING IT UP.

OH, COME ON.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

I MEAN, BURT WAS

AGAINST IT.

HE WAS AGAINST SOMEBODY ELSE

DOING IT.

BUT GRASSY BAY IS THE HEART

OF PALM CITY, EVERYBODY

KNOWS THAT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

VAN HELPED DRAW UP THE BULKHEAD

LINE... THAT WAS SUPPOSED

TO BE FOREVER.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA

LET ANYTHING STOP THEM

THIS TIME.

I'D STAY OUT OF IT.

VAN WOULD HAVE.

NO, VAN WOULD HAVE FOUGHT IT

BECAUSE IT'S WRONG.

HE WAS A REALIST, KAT.

I KNOW, BUT HE WOULDN'T HAVE

GIVEN IN.

I MEAN, COME ON, JIMMY, WE HAVE

TO KEEP THE BAY.

WELL, YOU KNOW I'LL DO WHAT I

CAN, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE LIKE

LAST TIME.

THIS IS HOME-GROWN.

THE PAPER'S NOT EVEN GONNA

PRETEND NEUTRALITY ON THIS ONE.

AND IT'D BE BETTER FOR ME IF YOU

COULD HAVE FOUND THIS OUT

FROM SOMEONE ELSE.

REALLY, WHY?

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

CONFIDENTIAL.

BUT I FELT THAT, THAT I SHOULD

TELL YOU.

HMM.

WELL, SALLY ANN KNOWS EVERY MOVE

BURT MAKES... I SHOULD BE ABLE

TO GET IT OUT OF HER

EASY ENOUGH.

THE WAR IS ON.

MAYBE YOU DO HAVE A CHANCE.

OH... BYE, JIMMY.

AND THANKS.

HI, TOM?

IT'S KAT.

WE HAVE TO CALL A "SAVE OUR BAY"

MEETING TONIGHT.

NO, NO, I'M SERIOUS, THE BAY

FILL IS ON AGAIN.

...AND THEY SAY IT'S A BETTER

TIME TO SELL THAN LAST YEAR, SO,

I THOUGHT YOU COULD ASK BURT

ABOUT... BUT KAT, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

JIGGER... DEAR... THAT'S ENOUGH.

YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK IT.

YOU CAN'T LEAVE US, KAT,

YOU'RE ONE OF THE CROWD.

WELL, I'M ON MY OWN NOW,

SALLY ANN.

AS IT IS, I HAVE TO RENT THE

HOUSE OUT IN THE WINTER.

I JUST THOUGHT IF I COULD GET A

GOOD PRICE, I COULD PUT UP A

NICE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE BAY

SIDE OF THE KEY, I COULD CUT

DOWN ON TAXES AND MAINTENANCE...

AND I DO LOVE GRASSY BAY.

HA!

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

UP UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO, I

WOULDN'T HAVE DROPPED YOU

EVEN A CLUE.

BUT NOW I CAN TELL,

CAN'T I, ELOISE?

SALLY, I DON'T KNOW...

DON'T PLAN TO

BUILD ON GRASSY BAY

FOR MUCH LONGER.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU TRYING

TO TELL ME, SALLY ANN?

THAT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD

A NICE BIG DEVELOPMENT

ON THAT BAY.

WHY, EVEN ELOISE AND MARTIN ARE

EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT.

WHEN DID YOU GET SO

INTERESTED IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY, ELOISE?

SINCE THINGS GOT SO BAD.

OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL,

ONE MORE SACRIFICE FOR THE

HOLY DOLLAR!

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S

SAKE, KAT, STOP BEING SUCH A

SAINT JOAN.

JIGGER! MORE ICE!

YOU'RE LATE.

PHOTOGRAPHER LEFT HOURS AGO.

MR. COOPER AND ALL OUR OFFICERS

IS GONE.

I'M SORRY.

I WAS DETAINED.

OVER THERE.

WE HAD ABOUT 50 PEOPLE HERE.

REVEREND KUHN GAVE A BEAUTIFUL

BLESSIN'.

MR. COOPER GAVE THE DEDICATION.

WE'RE REAL PLEASED WITH THAT

INSCRIPTION.

ONE OF OUR MEMBERS DREW IT UP.

IT'S CAST IN 90% PURE BRONZE.

SHOULD LAST FOREVER.

YOU CAN SMILE ABOUT THIS,

YOUNG MAN, BUT WE KNOW WHAT'S

RIGHT AND HOW TO STAND UP

FOR IT.

WE'RE JUST WAITIN'.

OH, UGH!

OH, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D HAVE TO

GAZE ON THESE AGAIN.

WHY ARE THEY SO BLAND?

I GUESS THEY'LL DO

THE JOB, THOUGH.

WELL, WHATEVER WE USE,

WE'LL HAVE TO BE QUICK.

BURT LESSER'S BOYS ARE GOING

BEFORE THE NEXT COMMISSION

MEETING AND ASKING FOR AN

IMMEDIATE HEARING.

OH NO, THAT'S NOT

ENOUGH TIME!

WE CAN BE GRATEFUL TO KAT FOR

LEARNING WHEN WE DID.

IT'S GOOD WE HAVE A SPY IN

THE ENEMY CAMP.

SALLY ANN LET IT SLIP... SHE

SEEMS TO THINK THAT IT CAN'T BE

STOPPED THIS TIME.

WE'LL GET 'EM.

IT MAY TAKE LONGER BUT THE

COURTS AND THE LAW ARE

ON OUR SIDE.

AH, THAT MAY BE TRUE, AS FAR

AS IT GOES, TOM, BUT THIS TIME

IT'S A CIVIL WAR.

THEY HAVE A WAY OF GETTING

NASTY, ESPECIALLY WHEN

MONEY'S INVOLVED.

ALL WE NEED IS

GOOD PLANNING...

AND A FINANCIAL SHOT IN THE ARM.

CAN WE COUNT ON YOU AGAIN, DIAL?

SURE, LET'S KEEP THE HORDES

AT BAY.

MAYBE WE COULD HIRE AN ARMY

OF HIT MEN.

WELL, AT LEAST WE CAN

COVER YOU AND THE ART CENTER

FOR MORE MATERIALS.

FORGET IT, LET'S JUST

GET GOING.

O.K., WELL, LET'S

GET STARTED.

DORIS, HOW SOON CAN YOU

CONTACT YOUR SCIENTIFIC

ASSOCIATES...?

SHALL WE GIVE IT A GO THEN?

OH, DON'T MIND DORIS.

YOU KNOW SHE ONLY BARKS.

OH, HE DOESN'T GET IN

IT THAT MUCH, JUST LIKES TO LOOK

AT IT.

YOU KNOW, THIS USED TO BE

DADDY'S GARDEN, BUT TWO YEARS

AFTER WE WERE MARRIED, ELMO CAME

IN WITH A BULLDOZER, DUG THE

HOLE HIMSELF.

EVENING, MAJOR.

GOOD EVENING, JIMMY.

BUSY NIGHT?

OH, ABOUT THE SAME AS USUAL.

WELL, GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE,

JAMES.

EVENING, LEROY.

YOU'RE LOOKING FIT, AS USUAL.

JIMMY!

GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT TONIGHT.

WE NEED TO TALK.

OH NO!

BUCK FOUND HER DRUNK AND

ABANDONED IN LAUDERDALE.

ELMO'S ONLY LAUGHED SO FAR.

WE ALL HAVE OUR

WEAKNESSES NOW, LEROY, DON'T WE?

MY LAWYER THINKS SUCH THINGS ARE

BETTER SERVED IN PRIVATE.

SHE'S A LIABILITY, ELMO.

VERY REAL.

NOT YOUR TYPE, LEROY?

OH LORD, GIVE ME A NERVOUS,

ANXIOUS WOMAN EVERY TIME.

AT LEAST THEY THINK THEY'RE

GIVING AWAY SOMETHING OF VALUE.

AND THEY VALUE DISCRETION AS

MUCH AS I DO.

DON'T WORRY, LEROY.

SHE'LL PACK IT UP AS SOON AS

BUCK STOPS BUYING.

WE'LL SET IT STRAIGHT.

NOW, JIMMY AND I NEED TO TALK.

MAJOR. JIMMY.

HOW'S YOUR WIFE?

THEY BEEN TREATING HER GOOD?

YEAH, THEY DO WHAT THEY CAN.

I'M GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO GET

HER INTO THAT SPECIAL PROGRAM.

TWO YEARS NOW, AIN'T IT?

ABOUT THAT, YEAH.

SIT.

ALWAYS GET A LITTLE PLEASURE

THUMBING THROUGH THAT BOOK.

YOU'RE ALWAYS A GOOD STORY,

ELMO.

YOU MAKE THINGS SOUND

IMPORTANT, JIMMY.

I LIKE THAT.

SO...

WHY YOU FILLING IN THE BAY?

OH, MAYBE I'M A DREAMER.

WE'RE GONNA BUILD AN ISLAND OUT

THERE, FILL IT WITH STREETS

AND HOMES.

WE'RE GONNA MANUFACTURE A

PARADISE.

WELL, THAT'S ALL VERY NICE,

ELMO, BUT YOU'VE NEVER HAD A

SINGLE REASON FOR ANYTHING.

WHAT'S UP?

I LIKE THE PUBLIC LIFE,

JIMMY.

I LIKE FOLKS KNOWING WHO I AM,

WHAT I CAN DO FOR THEM...

OR TO THEM.

AND I'M TIRED OF BEING A

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

THIS IS IT, MY LAST TERM.

PLANNING ON RUNNING FOR

SENATOR OR SOMETHING?

GOVERNOR, JIMMY.

GOVERNOR OF THE SUNSHINE STATE.

I MADE A LOT OF POLITICAL

FRIENDS UP IN TALLAHASSEE.

I'M CALLING IN MY DEBTS.

OF COURSE, WHEN THE BAY FILL

PROJECT COMES BEFORE THE

COMMISSION, I'LL VOTE

AGAINST IT.

BUT THEN WHEN I LEAVE, BURT AND

THE BOYS WILL NATURALLY WANT ME

TO HELP OUT ON THE BUSINESS.

NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST,

NO PROBLEMS.

JUST A BIG PIECE OF A

DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GONNA MAKE

A PILE FOR ME AND MY CAMPAIGN.

WELL, FORGIVE ME, ELMO,

BUT IT... IT ALL SEEMS A LITTLE

TOO FANTASTIC.

OH, I KNOW.

I'M GONNA NEED GOOD PEOPLE

HELPING ME.

I NEED YOU, JIMMY.

WE'VE BEEN A TEAM ALL ALONG.

I DID. YOU WROTE.

YOU'LL BE MY PRESS SECRETARY,

YOU KNOW.

GATHERING FACTS.

WRITING SPEECHES, THE USUAL.

YEARS FROM NOW, WE'LL LOOK BACK

AND REMEMBER HOW WE STARTED OUT

TOGETHER.

WHAT WILL I DO TILL THEN?

FOR THE TIME BEING, NOBODY

NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.

BUT EVEN SO...

I WANT YOU TO HAVE REGULAR

EXPENSE MONEY... FOR THE...

LITTLE THINGS YOU'LL BE

DOING FOR ME.

LIKE, WHAT KIND OF LITTLE

THINGS, ELMO?

I THINK WE CAN BEAT THAT

"SAVE OUR BAYS" CROWD

CLEAN AND SIMPLE.

BUT THEY COULD DRAG THE BAY FILL

AND PALMLAND DEVELOPMENT INTO

THE COURTS, AND A DELAY WOULD

BE DISASTROUS.

HELL, THEY COULD EVEN WIN.

YOU KNOW AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT THE

PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN, JIMMY.

THE RIGHT KIND OF INFORMATION,

USED CORRECTLY, COULD BE VERY

PERSUASIVE.

I'M SUPPOSED TO SPY

ON MY FRIENDS?

THAT'S THE... THAT'S THE

UGLIEST WAY YOU COULD HAVE

PUT IT.

I'M JUST AN OBSERVER, ELMO.

IT ISN'T THE NICEST JOB,

JIMMY, BUT WE GOTTA STOP

THAT COMMITTEE.

IF YOU DON'T JOIN UP, LEROY'S

GONNA GO OUTSIDE AND BRING

SOMEBODY IN.

MIGHT MAKE IT A LOT ROUGHER FOR

YOUR FRIENDS.

I MEAN, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF

THE WORD GOT AROUND THAT, UH,

THAT WIDOW LADY, KATHERINE

HUBBLE, WAS OUT SCREWING AROUND

WITH HER DEAD HUSBAND'S BEST

FRIEND...? HEY, HEY...

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.

SURE, IT'S NOT!

BUT MY HANDS ARE TIED.

I MEAN, THESE GUYS ARE GONNA...

I JUST MIGHT... I JUST MIGHT

JUST GO AND TELL THEM WHAT

YOU'RE PLANNING TO DO.

WELL, YOU KNOW

WE'LL DENY IT.

AND THEN I'D HAVE TO FIGURE OUT

A WAY TO DO IT ANYWAY.

OH, DAMN IT, JIMMY, I CONFESS,

I NEED YOU.

I EVEN THOUGHT I WAS GONNA FORCE

YOU TO DO IT... OR ELSE.

I DON'T SCARE, ELMO.

UH, YOU AND ME BOTH KNOW...

JIMMY... WORLD NEEDS FOLKS

LIKE ME.

FOLKS WITH A RAW NEED FOR POWER.

WITHOUT US, WOULDN'T ANYTHING

EVER GET DONE.

MOST FOLKS DON'T EVEN THINK

ABOUT IT.

MOST OF THEM END UP WILLING TO

SETTLE FOR NOTHING.

YOU ACT LIKE THAT SOMETIMES,

JIMMY.

SO WRAPPED UP WITH TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG

THAT YOU FORGET TRYING TO MAKE

SOMETHING OUT OF NOW.

MAYBE MY WANTS ARE SMALL.

MAYBE IT JUST PLEASURES YOU

TO THINK THEY'RE SMALL.

YOU AIN'T A KID ANYMORE, JIMMY.

YOU BEEN TELLIN' YOURSELF TOO

LONG THAT YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN

ABOUT ANYTHING.

WELL... I KNOW DIFFERENT.

YOU'RE THE SMALL TOWN CYNIC WHO

LIKES TO WATCH THE ANIMALS FROM

CLOSE RANGE.

SO, THIS TIME COME ABOARD FOR

THE RIDE.

BE SOMEPLACE WHERE YOU CAN

REALLY SEE 'EM.

YOU NEED AN EXCUSE?

TELL YOURSELF YOU'RE RESEARCHING

A BOOK.

COME ON, BOY.

LET'S YOU AND ME STIR THINGS UP.

GET YOURSELF GOING AGAIN.

YOU'LL BE IN TOUCH THEN.

FIRST ON THE LIST

IS DIAL SINNAT.

AND IF THERE'S NOTHING?

OH, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING,

JIMMY.

ON HIS FOURTH WIFE, AIN'T HE?

YEAH. AND HE'S GOT HIS

DAUGHTER DOWN HERE FOR THE

SUMMER... WHAT'S SHE LIKE?

SHE'S TEACHING AT THE

ART CENTER.

GOOD, WORK ON IT.

JAKE, WANT YOUR BALL?

COME ON, YOU WANT YOUR BALL?

COME ON, YEAH.

THERE YOU GO... UP!

HEY, YOU CAN DO BETTER

THAN THAT.

COME ON, YEAH.

HERE IT IS...

HI, LEROY.

WELCOME ABOARD, JAMES.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

MAYBE HE'S RIGHT ABOUT YOU

AFTER ALL.

GOOD NIGHT, LEROY.

THIS PALMLAND THING SEEMS

MORE THAN OLD BURT IS CAPABLE OF

CONCEIVING, MUCH LESS CARRYING

OUT ON HIS OWN.

SOMEONE WITH THE POWER TO MOVE

QUICKLY MUST BE HARD AT IT.

WELL, YOU WON'T HAVE TO LOOK

FAR... THE SILENT PARTNER IS

SOMEONE GREEDY.

WELL, ANYWAY, I'M

GOING TO CHECK THINGS OUT

TOMORROW.

HMM.

HI.

BACK SO SOON?

WE'VE GOT OUR BATTLE PLAN

DOWN PAT.

WASN'T THAT BURT LESSER'S BOY?

JIGGER SAW ME WALKING THE

KIDS HOME AND HE JUST

CAME ALONG.

YOU DON'T MIND, DO YOU, KAT?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

OH, JUST LEAVE THOSE, NATALIE.

I'LL GET THEM LATER.

ISN'T HE A LITTLE YOUNG

FOR YOU?

VERY FUNNY, DAD.

GOOD NIGHT, KAT.

GOOD NIGHT.

TOMORROW.

OH, THANKS, AS ALWAYS, FOR

LOOKING AFTER THE KIDS.

ANYTIME, KAT.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE SEEN

A GHOST.

HUH?

A GHOST.

I CAN'T REMEMBER

WHAT I WAS DOING.

BRAIN CELLS.

WRITE IT LATER, JIMMY.

WE GOT A WRECK DOWN SOUTH

ON BAY HIGHWAY. RIGHT.

NOW YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY.

ABOUT THE BRAIN, THAT IS.

YEAH, RIGHT.

I'LL DRIVE, BILL.

YOU GOT 90 MINUTES

TO MAKE THE FRONT PAGE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I HOPE THIS ISN'T AS BAD

AS THE LAST ONE.

IT WAS A WHOLE FAMILY SPLATTERED

OVER 200 FEET OF HIGHWAY.

I DID GET SOME GOOD SHOTS.

THAT'S JAY BERTRAM.

HE'S GOT A WIFE AND A COUPLE

OF KIDS.

WHAT DO YOU DO

WITH ALL THIS...?

NO, COME ON...

VAN, GET SERIOUS...

CUT THAT OUT, GET SERIOUS!

LOOK INTO THE CAMERA, SMILE!

YOU ARE SO BAD!

IT'S OVER... NO!

LET'S GO SWIMMING!

NO! NO! I DON'T WANNA

GO! I DON'T WANNA GO!

IT'S O.K., COME ON.

IT'S O.K...

KATHERINE.

WE CAN'T HAVE POLITICS

IN THE BANK.

THE BUTTON.

OH.

AHEM, UH, EXCUSE ME.

YOU GOT TIME FOR COFFEE?

YOU BET.

I SAW YOUR ARTICLE IN THE PAPER.

SOUNDED LIKE VAN'S ACCIDENT.

OH, WELL, ANOTHER WIDOW

FOR THE WORLD.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

YOU, UH, GIVING A PARTY?

OH, SORRY, JIMMY.

THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO BEFORE

THE HEARING ON MONDAY.

THERE'S NO TIME.

IF VAN WERE ALIVE...

WELL, HE WOULD HAVE FIXED

THINGS RIGHT UP.

I'VE GOT A WHOLE STACK OF LOCAL

NEWS ARTICLES FOR BORKLUND

TO LOOK AT.

I'LL TRY TO SNEAK SOMETHING

ABOUT LAST NIGHT'S MEETING.

OH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

SORRY THAT IT CAN'T BE MORE.

LISTEN, WE ALL UNDERSTAND.

WE APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN

DO FOR US.

DO YOU WANT TO HELP DISTRIBUTE

SOME POSTERS TOMORROW?

YEAH, SURE. OH GOOD.

WITH THE KIDS?

YEAH. O.K.

WE SHOULD BE READY

ABOUT, UM, 2... WHY DON'T YOU

COME BY THEN? O.K.

NO, LISTEN, I'VE GOT TO RUN.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

HI, MIKE... WOULD YOU PUT

ONE OF THESE "SAVE OUR BAY"

POSTERS UP AGAIN? SURE.

THANKS, BYE.

WHAT THEY GET

IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SEEMS

TO TIGHTEN THEM UP, BUT THE

ENTHUSIASM IS THERE IF

IT'S JUST GIVEN A CHANCE.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE KIDS EXCITED

ABOUT THEIR POSSIBILITIES,

BEGINNING TO BELIEVE

IN THEMSELVES.

VERY GOOD.

LET'S SEE NOW...

ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO TELL

ME ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE?

GUESS THAT'S ABOUT IT.

WELL, THEN I GUESS

THAT ISABOUT IT.

THANK YOU, NATALIE.

THANK YOU.

KATHERINE HUBBLE SURE IS

FOND OF YOU.

SHE'S ONE OF DAD'S NEATER

FRIENDS, AND I LIKE HER KIDS.

YOU THINK YOU'LL BE COMING

DOWN HERE EVERY SUMMER WHILE

YOU'RE IN SCHOOL?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S BEEN

NICE GETTING TO MEET MY DAD'S

NEW FAMILY.

OUR LOCAL YOUNG MEN MUST BE,

UH, KEEPING YOU VERY BUSY.

I HAVEN'T BEEN DATING.

I'D BETTER GET BACK TO WORK.

O.K., THANKS AGAIN.

OH, KEITH, THE REDS IN THAT

ONE WILL ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELM

THAT DELICATE RICCARDI.

YOU'LL HAVE TO MOVE IT, UH,

MOVE IT DOWN TO THE LEFT, O.K.?

LOOKS LIKE

QUITE A SHOW.

YEAH, I GOT IT ON

ITS WAY TO MIAMI.

IT'S MUCH TOO GOOD FOR OUR

CROWD, BUT THERE IT IS.

DID NAT TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEEDED?

YEAH, IT SHOULD MAKE

A GOOD STORY, JACKIE.

WELL, SHE'S VERY BRIGHT, AND

I LOVE THE WAY HER MIND WORKS.

SHE'S ALSO SUPERB WITH

THE WRETCHED CHILDREN.

I GET THE, UH... THE IDEA

THERE'S MORE TO HER THAN

MEETS THE EYE.

OH, WELL, SHE'S HAD

A BAD TIME.

SHE ARRIVED DOWN HERE SHATTERED

BY A SICKENING AFFAIR WITH SOME

LOTHARIO AT OHIO STATE.

TOO BAD YOU'RE TOO OLD

FOR HER, JIMMY.

RIGHT NOW SHE SEEMS TO BE

RUNNING A LOVELORN ANONYMOUS

CLUB FOR SOME IDOLIZING

HIGH SCHOOL BOY.

ANYWAY, I THINK SHE'S GETTING

BETTER, AND SHE'S AN ANSWER TO

MY PRAYERS, GOD KNOWS.

SO ANYWAY, YOU'LL, UH, YOU'LL

GIVE US A NICE SPREAD ON THE

SUMMER ART CLASSES?

YOU BET, YOU BET.

HEY, MAYBE YOU'D LIKE

TO WRITE A REVIEW ON THE NEW SHOW.

I THINK YOU WOULD DO A MUCH

BETTER JOB THAN...

WELL, THANKS ANYWAY, JACKIE,

BUT NOT THIS TIME.

YOU SAVING THE BAYS AGAIN?

WELL, IT LOOKS THAT WAY,

ALTHOUGH I'M BEGINNING TO DOUBT

WHETHER IT'S WORTH IT.

THE PEOPLE DOWN HERE SEEM TO

DESPISE NATURAL BEAUTY.

I THINK THEY'RE NOT GONNA FEEL

SECURE UNTIL THEY CAN SEE

ASPHALT IN EVERY DIRECTION.

YOU ALL DONE? GREAT!

O.K., NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO

REARRANGE SOME OF THE LIGHTS.

YOU WERE OUT, SO THEY SENT

THE SECOND TEAM.

I DO A LOT BETTER DEALING WITH

THE REAL NEWS OVER THE WIRE.

WHAT WAS IT THIS TIME?

DIVING FOR SOMETHING.

HIS FRIENDS SAID HE WENT DOWN

AND JUST DIDN'T COME UP.

YOU ALWAYS WONDER WHAT THEY

MIGHT HAVE BEEN... IF IT WOULD

HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE.

I'LL TAKE OVER FROM HERE...

ALL RIGHT?

YOU SURE?

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

NO, I DON'T NEED THAT.

ARE YOU GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?

HMM? YOU SURE?

BILL, I'LL GIVE YOU A RIDE.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, NATALIE.

GOOD NIGHT.

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

GOOD NIGHT.

OH, I WISH YOU COULD

HAVE WAITED TILL MORNING.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE

TOO MUCH OF YOU IN THE

DAYTIME, ELMO.

IT'S GOT TO DO WITH

SINNAT'S DAUGHTER?

AND BURT'S SON, JIGGER.

THAT'S ALL I COULD GET TODAY.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA GET

MUCH MORE ON SINNAT.

HE SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY

CAREFUL MAN.

THAT'S HER SIGNATURE,

HER LICENSE PLATE.

HMM...

NO BACKSEATS AND BEACHES

FOR THIS GAL.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S NOT MUCH TO GO ON,

BUT MAYBE...

THAT'S WHAT I FOUND, ELMO,

NOTHING MORE.

WHAT ARE YOU SO

WORRIED ABOUT?

I MEAN, WE GOT A SNOTTY LITTLE

RICH KID PLAYING AROUND WITH

BURT LESSER'S UNDERAGE KID,

CORRUPTING THE MORALS OF A MINOR.

WE GOT DIAL SINNAT, WHO'S GOT

MORE MONEY THAN HE KNOWS

HOW TO COUNT.

THEY'RE OUTSIDERS!

WHY SHOULD THEY TELL US WHAT

TO DO WITH THE LAND WE WERE

BORN AND RAISED ON?

BECAUSE MAYBE THEY'RE RIGHT.

REMEMBER... THE LAST REAL MULLET

RUN WENT THROUGH THE BAY?

ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO THIS WINTER?

IT WAS A SIGHT.

WENT ON FOR THREE DAYS.

I PERSONALLY CAUGHT 60,000

POUNDS OF FISH.

HELPED ME BUY MY FIRST TRUCK.

YOU AND ME... KNOW WHAT'S BEEN

LOST ALREADY... JIMMY.

ALL THE WILD THINGS AND MAGIC

PLACES GONE... FOREVER.

ALL'S WE CAN DO IS GRAB A PIECE

FOR OURSELVES BEFORE SOME GUY

FROM OUTSIDE COMES IN AND TAKES

IT ALL.

LISTEN, DON'T WORRY ABOUT

THIS DIAL THING.

YOU'LL SEE, HE'LL BE THE FIRST

ONE WANTS IT KEPT QUIET.

NEXT ON THE LIST IS, UH...

FAT SCIENCE LADY, DORIS ROWELL.

SHE BOTHERS ME.

BUT GO HOME, GET SOME SLEEP.

YOU KNOW...

YOU DONE FINE ON THIS ONE NOW.

YOU DON'T LOOK TOO GOOD.

JIMMY WING.

DAMN, WHERE YOU BEEN?

HOW ARE YOU, MITCHIE?

BREAKING MY BACK.

HAIRSTYLE BUSINESS IS TOO

DEMANDING FOR ME.

THIS IS JIMMY WING.

HI.

WE WERE HIGH SCHOOL

SWEETHEARTS, WEREN'T WE, JIMMY?

I DON'T LIKE TO

REMEMBER THAT FAR BACK

TOO OFTEN.

WOULD YOU GET ME A PACK

OF CIGARETTES, LOVE?

THANKS. WINSTONS.

BOY, IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

ALMOST A YEAR, YOU BASTARD.

WHAT SAY I GET RID OF OLD BILL

AND COME BACK FOR A NIGHTCAP?

NOT TONIGHT... O.K.?

SOME OTHER TIME THEN?

YEAH... SURE.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, JIMMY.

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

GOD DAMN! HEY!

MR. WING... WHY DON'T YOU

JUST FLY AWAY?

OH, OH, JEEZ, I REALLY

DID IT THIS TIME, I DID.

NAN'S WAITING, BRIAN.

LET'S GET YOU HOME.

"AND THE FOOL FOUND PEACE

IN AN AILMENT AND COMFORT..."

YEAH.

"IN CATASTROPHE."

SURE THING, BRIAN.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

I'M O.K...

HELLO, ED.

YES, WE GOT HIM.

MM-HMM, A FRIEND JUST

BROUGHT HIM IN.

OUT ON MANGROVE KEY.

THE SHOTS WOULD HELP.

TOMORROW? THANKS.

UM, YOU CAN COME BY

WHEN I'M AT WORK.

SEE YOU THEN.

BYE-BYE.

CAN YOU COVER FOR HIM?

WILL ONE DAY BE ENOUGH?

HE'LL FEEL LIKE DEATH TOMORROW,

BUT THAT SHOULD DO IT.

THE DROWNING REALLY GOT TO HIM.

THIS TOWN IS SO FULL

OF LITTLE DISASTERS.

JIMMY, WHY DID YOU EVER

COME BACK HERE?

THE DOCTORS TOLD US

GLORIA SHOULD COME HOME.

AND, UH...

BESIDES, ATLANTA HAS TOO MANY

TALL BUILDINGS.

I COULD NEVER SEE THE SUN.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

AND THANKS, JIMMY.

YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE

WHEN WE NEED YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

MORNING, MR. BORKLUND.

BRIAN NOT HERE?

HE'S GOT THE FLU.

REALLY.

ONE MORE SURPRISE VACATION

FOR HIM AND HE'S THROUGH.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE 24-HOUR

KIND THAT JUST WIPE YOU OUT.

HE CALLED ME THIS MORNING,

ASKED ME TO COVER FOR HIM.

LUCKILY IT LOOKS LIKE

A LIGHT DAY.

WELL, WE DON'T NEED HIM

ANYWAY.

OH, BY THE WAY, JIMMY...

I, I CUT THIS STORY ON

THE "SAVE OUR BAY" MEETING.

IT'S JUST NOT NEWSWORTHY.

NOW, TIGHTEN UP, WILL YOU?

YOU TWO GET

IN THE BACK.

HERE WE GO.

I GUESS.

SURE WE'VE GOT ENOUGH

OF THESE THINGS?

WE CAN ALWAYS

COME BACK FOR MORE.

O.K... YOU GUYS ALL RIGHT

BACK THERE?

YEAH. YEAH.

READY TO GO? YEAH.

# HE FLIES THROUGH THE AIR

WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE #

# THE DARING YOUNG

MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE #

# HIS MOVEMENTS ARE GRACEFUL,

ALL THE GIRLS HE DOES PLEASE #

# MY LOVE HE HAS TAKEN AWAY

VERY, VERY TOUCHING.

# HE FLIES THROUGH THE AIR

WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE #

# THE DARING YOUNG MAN

ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE #

# HIS MOVEMENTS ARE GRACEFUL,

ALL THE GIRLS HE DOES PLEASE #

# AND MY LOVE HE HAS

TAKEN AWAY... #

WELL, HERE'S YOUR

SUPPLY, JIM.

THEY TRIED TO GET IT PAST US,

BUT NO LUCK.

WE'LL GET 'EM.

TAKE CARE.

THANKS AGAIN, JIM!

WELL, IT'S LOOKING PRETTY GOOD,

BUT IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF WORK

AGAIN.

THANKS FOR PUTTING THESE UP.

BE SURE AND TELL ALL

YOUR CUSTOMERS.

HEY, YOU ALL READY?

THANKS.

WHERE ARE YOUR SHOES?

EXCUSE US.

HI. UH, WE'RE LOOKING

FOR MR. SIMPSON.

MY UNCLE DIED... IN MAY.

OH, I'M SORRY.

UM... WELL, COULD WE LEAVE

SOME OF THESE ANYWAY?

YOUR UNCLE HELPED US LAST TIME.

WHY NOT?

LET'S TRY BARLOW'S.

HE'S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.

MAYBE HE CAN HELP US OUT.

O.K... THANK YOU.

THANKS A LOT.

THERE, THAT'S GREAT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SEE THAT.

THANKS.

YES, MA'AM, UH, BUT I HAVE

TO TELL YOU THAT THAT PROBABLY

WON'T MEAN MUCH AROUND HERE.

HOW COME?

WELL, THE WORD'S GOTTEN

AROUND THAT THE BAY FILL IS

JUST WHAT THE COUNTY NEEDS.

WELL, YEAH, BUT FOLKS KNOW

THAT IT COULD SPOIL THE FISHING.

YOU UNDERSTAND,

DON'T YOU, JIMMY?

BARLOW, JUST GIVE IT

A TRY, O.K.?

SURE.

THANK YOU.

WELL, THANKS AGAIN.

YES, MA'AM. AFTERNOON.

Y'ALL COME BACK WHEN YOU CAN

SPARE TIME FOR A BEER.

O.K.

JIMMY, YOU GIVEN UP FISHING,

OR WHAT?

ONE OF THESE DAYS, BARLOW.

REAL SOON.

GOOD. BE JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

SEE YOU LATER.

BYE.

BYE-BYE.

HELLO!

BUT YOU HELPED US

LAST TIME, NANCY.

WE WERE COUNTING ON

YOUR EXPERIENCE. HI!

I KNOW, BUT...

HI THERE, Y'ALL.

HI, ROSS.

I KNOW, BUT...

WELL, IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND,

YOU'LL LET US KNOW?

YEAH.

THANKS.

WHO WAS THAT?

NANCY. I GUESS HER HUSBAND

PLANS TO SELL TWO CHEVYS TO

EVERYONE IN PALMLAND.

AT LEAST SHE'S NOT WORKING

FORTHE DEVELOPMENT

LIKE MARTHA DAVENPORT.

MARTHA? THAT SLUT IS LIKE

A FEATHER TO EVERY WIND.

YEAH, WELL, LET'S SAY WE GO OUT

AND CATCH SOME SUPPER, HUH?

OH, THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA.

SOMEDAY HE'S GONNA SPROUT GILLS.

JIMMY, YOU GOT SNEAKERS?

YOU GOT AN EXTRA PAIR?

SURE, COME ON.

COME ON, KIDS.

HE'S RIGHT HERE.

HOLD HIS PINCER SO I CAN

GET HIM.

HE WON'T HURT YOU.

ICED COFFEE NEXT.

OH, HERE, LET ME

HELP YOU. O.K.

JIMMY SEEMS SOFT ON YOU.

OH, DON'T BE SILLY, JACKIE.

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.

OH, MAYBE NOT FOR YOU.

NO, I'VE SEEN THIS KIND OF

THING TOO MANY TIMES UP NORTH.

I TOLD JACKIE THIS ONE

WASN'T WORTH IT.

AT SOME POINT YOU JUST GOT TO

GROW UP AND FACE HUMAN NATURE.

WELL, IT ISN'T HUMAN

NATURE WE'RE GOING TO

HAVE TO FACE...

BUT SOME HIDEOUS DEVELOPMENT!

REALLY, ROSS, SOMEBODY

HAS TO TRY.

I'M... SORRY.

THAT WAS TOM.

DIAL'S QUITTING.

HE SAYS HE WON'T TALK TO ANYONE,

THAT HE'S LEAVING ON AN EXTENDED

CRUISE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

HE CHANGED HIS MIND

AWFULLY FAST.

YOU MEAN HE HAD IT

CHANGED FOR HIM!

I'M GONNA GO AND CALL

THE HOUSE.

UM, WELL, WOULD YOU LIKE A BEER?

SURE.

DIAL WAS RIGHT IN THINKING

THAT THEY MIGHT PLAY DIRTY,

BUT I DON'T THINK HE EVER

ANTICIPATED BEING THE TARGET.

HOW CAN PEOPLE DO THAT

TO FRIENDS?

TO PEOPLE THEY KNOW?

KAT?

YEAH?

WHAT IS IT?

NOTHING.

SHIT.

CAN I SPEAK TO YOU A MINUTE?

OR IS THIS A BAD TIME?

NO, COME ON.

OF COURSE NOT, NATALIE.

COME ON IN... SIT DOWN.

JIMMY, CAN WE TALK LATER?

YEAH, SURE.

YOU STILL GOING TO

SANIBEL TOMORROW?

UM, YEAH, I GUESS SO.

I MEAN, THE KIDS ARE REALLY

COUNTING ON IT.

HAVE A GOOD TIME. THANKS.

SEE YOU MONDAY, O.K.?

NATALIE, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

DAD WON'T EVEN LISTEN

TO OUR SIDE OF THE STORY.

TERRIBLE THINGS HAD HAPPENED TO JIGGER.

HE NEEDED SOMEONETHAT CARED.

WE WEREN'T

HURTING ANYONE!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?

JUST WHAT'S...

THOSE ARE LAGODON RHOMBOIDES.

I'M CHECKING THE RELATION OF

SALINITY TO THE GROWTH RATE.

THAT'S THE CONTROL TANK

ON THE RIGHT.

PROCTOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PUBLISHED

A PAPER ON THIS SAME EXPERIMENT

USING A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR FISH.

I DIDN'T LIKE HIS CONCLUSIONS.

THIS IS THE SECOND MONTH.

NOW I BEGIN TO SEE PERHAPS

HE WAS RIGHT.

THAT NOISE IS GETTING US.

I'M TOLD YOU AREN'T ABLE TO GET

MUCH OF ANYTHING INTO THE PAPER.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE.

BUT IF I AM ABLE TO SNEAK ANY

CONSERVATION PROPAGANDA INTO MY

ARTICLES, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT

IT'S BASED ON.

WILL FACTS HAVE ANYTHING

TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENS?

A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE

TO THINK SO.

WE CAN SIT ON THE PORCH.

I'VE BEEN STANDING ON MY FEET

SINCE SIX THIS MORNING.

WELL, TO START WITH, WE'RE ONLY

BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE

THESE BAYS AND MARSHES PLAY,

HOW CRITICAL THEY ARE AS A...

BREEDING GROUND AND NUTRIENT

SOURCE FOR THE ENTIRE

FOOD CHAIN.

MEN LIKE TO EXCUSE THEIR

DESTRUCTIVE URGES WITH

IGNORANCE, BUT AN ACT SUCH AS

FILLING IN GRASSY BAY WOULD BE

LIKE SPITTING IN THE FACE

OF GOD.

IT'S A DANGEROUS ARROGANCE,

MR. WING.

I REMEMBER TWO YEARS AGO YOU

WERE ABLE TO GET SOME VERY NOTED

SCIENTISTS TO COME DOWN HERE AND

SPEAK OUT IN FAVOR OF LEAVING

THE BAY ALONE.

I CONDUCT A LARGE

CORRESPONDENCE.

I HELP FIELD CREWS WHEN I CAN.

THEY ASSIGN ME LITTLE

RESEARCH TASKS.

THERE'S EVEN SOME MONEY

IN IT SOMETIMES. IT HELPS.

YOU CALL YOURSELF

A LAYMAN. YES.

THAT MEANS THAT YOU ACTUALLY

HAVE NO FORMAL TRAINING.

THAT IS THE DEFINITION

OF THE TERM.

WELL, THAT BOTHERS ME

JUST A LITTLE BIT HOW A LAYMAN'S

JUDGMENT ON SUCH COMPLEX ISSUES

CAN HAVE ANY VALIDITY.

I'VE SPENT MY LIFE STUDYING.

WELL, BUT YOU'RE NOT

A SCIENTIST.

MAYBE YOUR BASIC PREMISES

ARE WRONG.

YOU ARE INSOLENT,

MR. WING.

HAVE SOME RESPECT.

FOR WHAT?

BECAUSE YOU DABBLE IN SCIENCE?

I HAD MY DEGREE

BEFORE YOU WERE A...

YOU HAVE A DEGREE?

FORGIVE ME.

IT'S JUST A MANNER OF SPEAKING.

I'VE AWARDED MYSELF VARIOUS

DEGREES AS... A GAME, A JOKE.

I SEE.

I MUST GET BACK TO WORK.

GOOD DAY, MR. WING.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I THINK I JUST MAY MAKE IT.

IT'S ALL A JOKE,

ISN'T IT, BRIAN?

IT'S ALL SO JOLLY AND BOYISH,

JUST LIKE IN COLLEGE.

"BOY, WAS I EVER HUNG, BUT I HIT

THE BIOLOGY EXAM FOR A C+."

IS THAT THE WAY IT SEEMS TO YOU?

SOMETIMES, BRI, YES, IT DOES.

WELL, THEN WHY TRY TO HELP,

YOU SUPERIOR SON OF A BITCH?

DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL

LIKE AN ADULT?

I HARDLY EVER FEEL

LIKE AN ADULT.

MY CRUTCHES...

JUST AREN'T AS OBVIOUS.

YOU WAITED A LONG TIME

TO GIVE IT TO ME, JIMMY.

WHAT AM I GIVING YOU?

NOTHING FAZES YOU,

MR. WING, HUH?

NOTHING GETS INSIDE THE CRACKS.

MY BUDDY.

GOOD LORD, JIMMY,

DON'T TELL ME YOU COME

TO PESTER ME AGAIN.

NOW, AUNT MIDDY,

CAN'T A FELLA JUST COME BY

TO SAY HELLO?

SURE YOU CAN.

ANYWAY, YOU CAN SHARE

THE SUNSET WITH ME.

SO HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

WHAT IS IT, JIMMY?

I'VE BEEN A LITTLE CURIOUS

ABOUT THAT MISS DORIS ROWELL WHO

LIVES DOWN ON SANDY KEY.

NO HISTORY ON HER, BOY.

SHE'S A COME-LATELY, 1940.

YOU KNOW WHERE SHE CAME FROM?

SAME PLACE AS EVERYBODY

ELSE... UP NORTH.

DON'T KNOW WHERE EXACTLY.

DIDN'T PEOPLE WONDER ABOUT

HER WHEN SHE FIRST CAME DOWN

HERE, A WOMAN ALL BY HERSELF?

GUESS THEY DID, BUT SHE

WASN'T FRIENDLY AND FOLKS

STAYED AWAY.

GOOD-LOOKING WOMAN, TOO, TILL

SHE GOT SO BIG YOU COULDN'T

RECOGNIZE HER.

YOU'VE GOT NO IDEA WHY SHE

CAME DOWN HERE, WHAT SHE USED

TO DO?

NO.

BUT NOW, ADA'S BOY, ERNIE

WILLIHAN, YEARS AGO RIGHT AFTER

HE'D GOT OUT OF COLLEGE, HE USED

TO GO OUT AND SEE HER.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

ERNIE'S LEFT.

THINK HE'S UP IN ST. PETE'S WITH

A SCIENCE COMPANY.

OH...

LOOK AT HOW RED THAT SUN IS

GOING DOWN, WILL YA?

MAYBE WE'LL GET TO MAKE A WISH.

THAT'S TOURIST TALK,

AUNT MIDDY.

I SEEN IT.

I'M TELLING YOU, TRUE THING.

WAS YEARS AGO.

WEREN'T MORE THAN 50 OF US

IN THE WHOLE SETTLEMENT.

WAS OUR WORST SUMMER EVER.

NOW, THAT DAY I'D HAD TO GO OUT

ON THE BOAT 'CAUSE MY MAN'S

PARTNER WAS DOWN SICK.

WE WAS POLING BACK ALONG THE

SHORE... COMING HOME WITH LESS

FISH THAN WAS NEEDED.

AND WE COULD SEE THE SUN GOING

DOWN RED LIKE THAT.

RIGHT OUT THROUGH TURK'S PASS.

AND THEN IT HAPPENED.

"MAKE A WISH," HE SAID.

"MAKE A WISH!"

I WISHED, ALL RIGHT.

THERE COULD NEVER BE ENOUGH

GREEN FOR ALL THE WISHES I HAD.

GOT TO CREDIT GOD WITH DOING

GOOD BY ME...

BUT THE FLASH OF GREEN IS

SOMETHING YOU SEE.

WE DIDN'T SEE ONE TONIGHT.

YOU ACT LIKE YOU NEED ONE,

JIMMY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU SET LIKE YOU GOT

A KNOTTY BELLY.

I HAD ME ONE SON LIKE THAT.

HE LIVED A MEAN, SMALL LIFE

'CAUSE HE WOULDN'T DO

WHAT I TOLD HIM.

AND WHAT WAS THAT?

GO FIND HIMSELF A HEALTHY

GIRL AND GET AS MANY YOUNG OFF

HER AS SHE COULD BRING INTO

THE WORLD.

I'M MARRIED.

TO WHAT?

IT'LL BE GOD'S MERCY

LETS THAT POOR SOUL GO.

YOU'RE RIGHT PROUD, JIMMY WING.

YOU MAY HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH

TO FANCY YOURSELF A TERRIBLE,

GUILTY MAN, BUT YOU'RE GETTING

TOO MUCH PLEASURE OUT OF ACTING

TRAGICAL.

WE GOT TO GET IT SOMEHOW.

I GUESS I'D BETTER BE GOING.

YOU COME AGAIN... AND YOU

THINK ABOUT WHAT I'M SAYING.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING, KAT?

I'M FINE, BURT, HOW ARE YOU?

JUST GREAT.

SALLY SAYS THAT YOU'RE THINKING

ABOUT SELLING THE HOUSE.

NO, I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.

BURT, YOU COMING?

YEAH, RIGHT AWAY.

BIG MEETING.

COME BY AND SEE US.

TIME FOR COFFEE?

I'M GETTING TRAVELER'S CHECKS.

CAN YOU SPARE A MINUTE

WHEN I'M DONE?

SURE.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT THE ARMY OF THE LORD?

YEAH, THAT'S THAT RELIGIOUS

SECT DOWN NEAR EVERSET.

THE REVEREND DARCY

HARKNESS COOMBS.

IT'S A MILITANT LITTLE GROUP,

KAT, WITH A FANATIC'S TWIST

THAT'S QUITE EFFECTIVE

ON THE PHONE.

I CAN TELL YOU ALMOST

THE EXACT WORDS.

"IFFIN YOU DON'T UNJOIN THAT

EVIL, WICKED COMMITTEE, MR.

SINNAT, WE'LL ONE DARK NIGHT

SNATCH YOUR WHORIN' DAUGHTER,

KNOT HER HANDS UP TO A TREE,

AND FLOG THAT PRETTY HIDE RIGHT

OFFEN HER BACK SO SHE'LL SEE HOW

DECENT FOLKS TREATS THE WICKED."

OH, COME ON, DIAL, IT WAS

JUST A PRANK CALL.

I CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE ON IT

BEING A BLUFF.

THAT MAN SOUNDED AS IF HE'D

ENJOY IT.

WELL, THEN, NATALIE'S THE ONE

THAT SHOULD LEAVE.

I TRIED.

SHE'S TOO YOUNG AND... PROUD TO

REALIZE HOW VULNERABLE SHE

REALLY IS.

AND THEY'RE WILLING TO FORGET

HER TERRIBLE CRIME IF YOU LEAVE?

NO ONE EVER SAID THAT JUSTICE

HAD TO MAKE ANY SENSE, KAT.

WELL...

YOU'D BETTER WARN THE OTHERS.

YOU SHOULD ALL BE CAREFUL NOT

TO DO ANYTHING TO GIVE 'EM ANY

REASON TO GO AFTER YOU.

PLEASE, NOT A WORD ABOUT THE

TELEPHONE CALL TO ANYONE.

IT MIGHT BE ALL THEY NEED.

ALL RIGHT, DIAL...

BUT I STILL THINK...

I'M OUT, KAT!

SOMEONE IS OUT TO SMASH

THE COMMITTEE.

THEY SURE AS HELL HAVE GOTTEN

TO ME.

DORIS ROWELL... DORIS HAD ALL

THE PERSONALITY OF A SNAPPING

TURTLE, BUT SHE HAD A FINE MIND,

AND I USED TO GO OUT AND TALK.

DID YOU KNOW THAT SHE'S BEEN

DOING ODD JOBS FOR MARINE

BIOLOGISTS IN THE AREA?

THEY'D BE UPSET IF THEY KNEW

WHO'S BEEN HELPING THEM.

WHY IS THAT?

LOOK, IF SHE'S OF ANY VALUE

TO THAT GROUP DOWN THERE,

YOU DON'T WANT TO PURSUE THIS.

MR. WILLIHAN, IT'S GONNA BE

A TOUGH FIGHT.

NOW, IF SOMEBODY ELSE COMES UP

WITH WHAT YOU'RE KEEPING FROM

ME, I OUGHT TO BE IN A POSITION

TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER THAN THEY

MIGHT WANT IT TO LOOK.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE HUMAN

INTEREST STORIES YOU BOYS

LOVE TO EXPLOIT.

I WAS A SENIOR AT MINNESOTA,

CLASS OF '39.

SHE WAS ON FACULTY.

HER HUSBAND WAS SERIOUSLY ILL

AT THE TIME.

SHE WAS TEACHING, TRANSLATING

ARTICLES, DOING RESEARCH.

MAYBE... MAYBE SHE SNAPPED UNDER

THE PRESSURE, MAYBE SHE WAS JUST

TOO AMBITIOUS, BUT THAT WINTER

SHE GOT CAUGHT.

CAUGHT?

SHE WAS TRANSLATING THE WORK

OF A HUNGARIAN SCIENTIST AND

PUBLISHING IT AS HER OWN.

IT WAS ONE HELL OF A SCANDAL,

WING.

AND SHE WAS CLEARLY GUILTY,

BUT SHE DENIED IT.

THEY THREW HER OUT OF THE

UNIVERSITY, OUT OF THE WORLD

IN WHICH SHE PROPERLY BELONGED.

SOMETIMES ONE MISTAKE,

THAT'S IT.

HOW MANY LOTS, BURT?

800.

AVERAGE THAT OUT AT 10,000,

THAT WOULD MEAN...

EIGHT MILLION.

BUT COSTS WILL BE HIGH.

WE PLAN A DEVELOPMENT THAT

THE WHOLE WEST COAST WILL BE

PROUD OF, AND WE SHOULD MENTION

THAT MARTIN CABLE AND THE BANK

LOAN BOARD HAVE RESPONDED

FAVORABLY TO THIS PROPOSAL.

SUCH A LOAN IS, OF COURSE,

CONTINGENT ON THE COMMISSION'S

REACTION, AND OUR INITIAL

RESPONSE IS IN NO WAY AN ATTEMPT

TO SWAY THE COMMISSION.

I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M

GETTING RIGHT CONFUSED HERE.

NOW, THIS PALMLAND IS SUPPOSED

TO PRESENT A PETITION, AND THEN

WE SET A DATE FOR THE HEARING.

NOW, ISN'T THAT HEARING THE

PROPER PLACE FOR ALL THIS P.R.

AND SWEET TALK INSTEAD OF NOW?

WELL, I THINK THESE GENTLEMEN

WERE JUST EXPLAINING...

PROPERLY, I SUPPOSE THIS

PRESENTATION SHOULD BE

MADE THERE.

SO WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO

IS GET US ALL ON THEIR SIDE

BEFORE THE OTHER SIDE

HAS A CHANCE.

I SUPPOSE YOU COULD, UH,

INTERPRET IT IN THAT WAY.

WELL, I SUGGEST THAT THE

MINUTES MAKE NO MENTION OF ALL

THIS GREAT SHOW WE JUST HAD.

I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE

PETITION AND SET A DATE

FOR THE HEARING. SECONDED.

MOVED AND SECONDED THAT WE

ACCEPT THE PALMLAND DEVELOPMENT

COMPANY PETITION AND SET A DATE

FOR A PUBLIC HEARING.

ANY DISCUSSION?

YES, I'D LIKE TO TALK...

THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED?

MOTION CARRIES.

NOW, LET'S SEE... PAPER

TOMORROW, A TWO-WEEK MINIMUM

DATE, THAT MAKES IT THE 26th

OF JULY.

OH, HANG ON A MINUTE.

THAT... THAT'S MIGHTY HASTY.

COLONEL JENNINGS, IS THAT

SUFFICIENT TIME FOR YOUR GROUP

TO PREPARE YOUR CASE?

WELL, HARDLY! WE JUST FOUND

OUT ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL LESS

THAN A WEEK AGO.

WE NEED AT LEAST A MONTH.

I MOVE WE SET THE DATE

FOR THE 26th OF THE MONTH

AT 8:30 P.M. SECONDED.

MOTION TO HOLD A PUBLIC

HEARING ON THE PALMLAND

DEVELOPMENT COMPANY PROPOSAL

JULY 26th AT 8:30 P.M.

ANY DISCUSSION? GENTLEMEN...

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

THOSE OPPOSED? NO!

MOTION CARRIES. IF THERE'S

NO FURTHER BUSINESS...

WELL, WHAT DO WE EXPECT?

JUST WONDERFUL.

THIS MEETING OF THE PALM

COUNTY COMMISSION'S ADJOURNED.

I'M GONNA GO TALK

TO BURT LESSER.

I'M GONNA GET SOMETHING

IN FOR YOU.

OH, JIM, THAT WOULD BE

NICE, THANKS.

HOW WAS YESTERDAY?

OH, IT WAS GOOD.

I'LL TALK TO YOU SOON, O.K.?

YEAH, O.K.

...KILLING US IN THERE...

SEEM TO BE TRAVELING

FIRST-CLASS. THOSE IDIOTS.

VERY TOUGH INDEED.

WE'VE GOT OUR WORK

CUT OUT FOR US.

THOSE MAPS WERE RIDICULOUS.

THEY GROSSLY DISTORTED THE

PROPORTION OF BAY FILL...

WE STILL HAVE THE RULES

ON OUR SIDE.

AND YOU THINK WE'RE

WASTING OUR TIME AND ENERGY

TRYING TO STOP YOU?

I SUPPOSE YOU COULD PUT IT

THAT WAY.

WELL, THEN ANSWER ME THIS,

MR. PALMLAND LESSER.

WHY IS YOUR SIDE PULLING DIRTY

TRICKS ON US, LIKE BLACKMAILING

DIAL SINNAT INTO LEAVING TOWN?

WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU

TALKING ABOUT?

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT DIAL, AND I DON'T KNOW

ANYTHING ABOUT BLACKMAIL.

NOW, JUST ONE MINUTE,

MR. PRESIDENT!

SOMEONE ON YOUR SIDE IS PLAYING

DIRTY, AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW

ABOUT IT, YOU SHOULD.

YOU KNOW THE FIVE PEOPLE

WHO HAVE MAJORITY INTEREST

IN THIS PROJECT, JACKIE.

OH, YES, I THOUGHT I DID.

AND AS FOR THE OTHERS,

I COULD NAME A LONG LIST OF

INFLUENTIAL MEN AND WOMEN

IN THIS AREA.

EVERY WORTHWHILE PROJECT

ATTRACTS THE SUPPORT OF ALL

SEGMENTS OF SOCIETY.

NOW, I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE,

AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE

BECAUSE SOMEONE IN FAVOR OF THE

BAY FILL GETS A LITTLE

TOO ANXIOUS.

WELL, YOU JUST BETTER CHECK

YOUR FOLKS, BECAUSE IF SOME OF

YOUR PEOPLE GET TOO ANXIOUS,

SOME OF OUR PEOPLE JUST MIGHT

GET TOO ANXIOUS TOO!

WHAT'S THAT, SOME SORT

OF A THREAT?

NO, IT'S A PROMISE, PAL!

JACKIE, COME ON.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

MAJOR.

JIMMY.

WELL, HI THERE, DELLIE.

PRETTY FESTIVE NIGHT.

OH, WE'VE MADE A MESS.

YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST GOING TO

THE KITCHEN TO SEE IF I OUGHT TO

HAVE MORE FOOD BROUGHT OUT.

THEY'RE EATING ANYTHING

I CAN LAY OUT. EXCUSE ME.

IT ALL TURNED OUT O.K.

YEAH, BUT BURT, YOU NEARLY

THREW ME WHEN YOU BROUGHT UP THE

BANK'S INTEREST AT THE MEETING.

I TOLD ELOISE THAT OUR

ENDORSEMENT OF YOUR PLAN HAS GOT

TO BE TIMED VERY CAREFULLY,

AND THE BANK HAS ITS REPUTATION

TO CONSIDER.

I DON'T THINK THERE WAS

ANYONE AT THE MEETING THOUGHT

THERE WAS ANY QUESTION OF

IMPROPRIETY... DO YOU, BURT?

OF COURSE NOT. NOT ANYONE.

AS I TOLD ELOISE...

ELOISE? ANYONE SEE HER?

SHE WAS HERE JUST A FEW

MINUTES AGO.

TONIGHT COULD BE

SO NICE.

CALM DOWN, ELOISE.

DON'T RISK EVERYTHING NOW.

I'LL MEET YOU TOMORROW

AT OUR USUAL TIME, O.K.?

JUST SEND COPIES OF THESE

TO THE SCIENTISTS WHO TESTIFIED

LAST TIME.

DOESN'T HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED.

HUH! YEAH, THAT'LL DO IT.

HUH! TOM JENNINGS WILL BE

COUNTING ON THAT TESTIMONY.

I'LL SEND THE LETTERS.

WHO'S NEXT?

YOU'RE GETTING EAGER, JIMMY.

HEY! TAKE A LOOK AT THESE.

NOW I KNOW WHY MARTIN CABLE

AND HIS BANK JUMPED ON BOARD

SO QUICKLY.

I CAUGHT HIM IN THE HALLWAY.

OH, REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID

ABOUT A WOMAN THINKING SHE'S

GIVING AWAY SOMETHING OF VALUE?

REAL SMOOTH, LEROY.

I COULD SAY THE SAME

FOR YOU, JAMES.

WORKED OUT REAL GOOD WITH

THAT DIAL SINNAT THING,

DIDN'T IT?

I HEAR THAT HE JUST UP

AND LEFT TOWN ON A CRUISE.

YEAH, HOW'D YOU WORK THAT OUT?

I GUESS SINNAT DIDN'T WANT

THE GOOD REVEREND COOMBS HAVING

A HEART-TO-HEART WITH HIS

LITTLE GIRL.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE

HANDLING THESE THINGS.

YOU ARE, JIMMY, YOU ARE.

THEN WHAT'S THIS REVEREND

COOMBS BUSINESS?

WELL, YOU DIDN'T GIVE US

TOO MUCH TO GO ON, SO WE HAD

TO TURN IT A BIT.

I DON'T WANT ANY PART

OF THIS... I DON'T WANT ANY

PART OF IT MYSELF, JIMMY.

YOU DON'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT

I WOULD LET THAT LITTLE GIRL

GET HER TAIL WHIPPED, DO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT WE'RE GONNA BACK OFF

A BIT NOW, YOU KNOW,

JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

JAMES... A LOT OF TOWN FOLK

ARE GETTING ALL FIRED UP,

SO THE S.O.B.s MAY GET A LOT OF

PRESSURE TO QUIT WITHOUT OUR

HAVING TO LIFT A FINGER.

SEE, WE'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF

CONCERNED CITIZENS ASKING WHY

ANYBODY WOULD WANT TO STOP OUR

PLANS FOR GRASSY BAY.

THEY SEEM TO FEEL THAT MAYBE

THERE'S SOME SORT OF COMMUNIST

PLOT AFOOT TO CRIPPLE

THIS COUNTY.

REVEREND COOMBS HAS JOINED UP

WITH THEM.

COULD MAKE FOR SOME VERY

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS.

YOU'RE LETTING LOOSE AN AWFUL

LOT OF DEVILS, ELMO.

I SET THINGS MOVING...

ONLY WHEN I'M SURE THE WAY

THEY'RE GONNA GO.

IT'S THE PEOPLE SPEAKING.

THEY GOT A RIGHT.

SAME AS HIS, BERNIE.

ANOTHER HAIRDO.

THE ONLY THING I HAVEN'T

TRIED YET IS SHAVING IT OFF.

HERE'S TO OLD TIMES, MR. WING.

DON'T WORRY, I'M NOT STAYING.

IT'S NICE...

IT'S NICE HAVING YOU HERE.

AND IT HURTS YOUR MOUTH

TO SAY IT.

AT LEAST YOU DO LOOK BETTER.

I HAVEN'T SLEPT THIS WELL

IN A LONG TIME.

YOU LOOK LIKE AFTER WE

DID IT THE FIRST TIME, OUT NEAR

TURK'S PASS.

GOD, HOW WICKED WE FELT.

OVER 15 YEARS LATER, YOU STILL

HAVE THAT SAME LOOK, EXCEPT

WORSE.

HAVE YOU SLEPT WITH HER, JAMEY?

WHO?

WITH THE GAL WHO'S

MESSING YOU UP.

NO. AND IT'S NONE OF

YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.

OH! WHAT KIND OF TEENAGE

TORCH ARE YOU CARRYING?

I AM FINE, MITCHIE.

I'M NIFTY DANDY.

THEN YOU GOT MORE ON YOUR

MIND THAN A GIRL.

ARE YOU DOING SOMETHING

YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING?

SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO

SEE THINGS THROUGH.

LAST NIGHT WAS GOOD.

YEAH. IT WAS, WASN'T IT?

YEAH.

ANYTIME, MAC.

I'M ALWAYS THERE.

SAVE OUR BAYS.

PLEASE SAVE OUR BAYS.

HELP SAVE OUR BAYS.

PLEASE HELP SAVE OUR BAYS.

PLEASE SAVE OUR BAYS.

HELP SAVE OUR BAYS.

HELP SAVE OUR BAYS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

YOU'RE GETTING PRETTY GOOD

AT WRITING THAT GARBAGE.

HELLO?

You there... damn you,

you anti-Christian heathen.

Ever wonder why you're a widow?

It's 'cause God wanted...

THANK YOU, DEAR.

You're a selfish piece...

YES, YOU MAKE YOURSELF

PERFECTLY CLEAR.

You're a bad lady...

GO BACK

WHERE YOU CAME FROM!

GET OUT OF HERE!

JIMMY...

SOMETHING'S WRONG

AT DORIS ROWELL'S.

WOULD YOU COME ALONG?

UH, I CAN'T REACH THE OTHERS.

SHE'S ALWAYS TREATED ME...

MS. ROWELL?

MS. ROWELL?

LET'S TRY THE HOUSE.

MS. ROWELL?

CAN WE COME IN AND TALK TO YOU

FOR A MINUTE?

MRS. ROWELL?

MRS. ROWELL?

MRS. ROWELL...

TOM WANTED ME TO FIND OUT ABOUT

THE PEOPLE THAT YOU'D LINED UP.

MRS. ROWELL, THE SCIENTISTS?

NO ONE CAME...

NO ONE...

YOU TELL HIM THAT.

MRS. ROWELL, DIDN'T YOU

ASK THEM?

SENT REGRETS. TOO BUSY.

MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHO ASKS

THEM, THE ANSWER WOULD BE THE

SAME... TOO BUSY.

BUT WHY?

PLEASE LET ME GO.

I'M VERY HUNGRY.

DORIS, YOU HAVE TO

TELL ME WHY.

THEY DO NOT WISH TO BE

ASSOCIATED WITH ME IN ANY WAY.

PERHAPS THEY WILL TELL YOU WHY.

I DOUBT IT.

IT'S EASY TO SAY THEY'RE BUSY.

COME ON, KAT.

YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

JIMMY, WE HAVE TO DO

SOMETHING.

THERE'S A PHONE IN THE LAB.

CALL DR. SLOAN.

HE'LL KNOW WHAT'S BEST.

O.K.

...WE JUST FOUND HER ABOUT

10 MINUTES AGO.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG

SHE'S BEEN LIKE THIS.

I SEE.

O.K., BYE.

JIMMY?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE.

WHAT DID SHE MEAN, "YOU MIGHT

HAVE DONE IT"?

I TOLD HER, I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON, LET'S GO WAIT

BY THE PORCH.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Wing?

This is Dr. Fries at

the clinic.

Hello?

GO AHEAD, DOCTOR.

I guess you know

why I'm calling.

Your wife's condition

has worsened.

Perhaps you should get here

as quickly as possible.

Mr. Wing, are you there?

LET US PRAY, O GOD THE

CREATOR, REDEEMER OF ALL THE

FAITHFUL, HEAR OUR SUPPLICATIONS

AND THROUGH THY INFINITE LOVE

AND MERCY, GRACIOUSLY GRANT

THE SOUL OF THY SERVANT DEPARTED

A REMISSION OF ALL HER SINS BY

WHICH SHE MAY HAVE DESERVED THE

SEVERITY OF THY DIVINE JUSTICE

AND PUNISHMENTS IN THE WORLD

TO COME.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME?

I GUESS I'D BETTER GET GOING.

SEE YOU ALL FINISH

YOUR DINNER.

LET ME WALK YOU OUT TO THE CAR.

O.K... SEE YOU GUYS LATER.

BYE. BYE.

BYE-BYE.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

I GUESS WE'RE EVEN NOW.

IT'S NOT MUCH COMFORT

FOR YOU THAN THIS, I'M AFRAID.

WHEN YOU CAN'T SAVE THE ONES

CLOSEST TO YOU...

IT'S HARD.

YOU KNOW, ONE THING I'VE

LEARNED IS THAT YOU HAVE TO

BELIEVE THAT IT ALL MAKES SENSE

SOMEHOW.

OTHERWISE YOU'D HATE EVERYTHING

AND EVERYBODY.

YEAH.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

THE RECORD-JOURNAL.

WING SPEAKING.

I'm sorry to bother

you so soon after the funeral,

but the bastards are still

at it.

You've got to come right over.

WHAT IS IT, JACKIE?

No, I want you to see

for yourself.

I want something in that

damn paper.

ALL RIGHT.

BE THERE IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT

AN HOUR AGO.

IS THERE ANYTHING MISSING?

OH, IN THIS MESS, WHO KNOWS?

ASIDE FROM OUR RECORDS, THERE'S

LITTLE OF VALUE.

BUT IT WAS PART OF MY WORLD,

DAMN IT.

I ALWAYS BELIEVED ART COULD

REACH THE SOUL, EVEN WHEN THE

SOUL RESISTED.

GUESS IT JUST DIDN'T REACH

THE RIGHT ONES.

AT LEAST THEY DIDN'T GO

AFTER THE SHOW.

OH, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD

THE STATE MARSHAL AFTER THEM

IF THEY HAD.

THIS WAY...

THOSE DAMN BASTARDS THINK THEY

CAN SHUT ME UP WITH CRAP LIKE

THIS, THEY HAVE A THING OR TWO

TO LEARN ABOUT JACKIE HALLEY.

GET SOMETHING IN THE PAPER,

JIMMY.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT

YOUR DAMN TOWN.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, SUNNY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU UP

AND ABOUT, JIMMY.

I JUST CAME FROM

THE ART CENTER.

YOU SAID WE WERE GONNA LAY OFF

AFTER DORIS AND DIAL.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

JUST TYING UP

A FEW LOOSE ENDS.

ANYWAY, IT'S OUT OF MY HANDS NOW.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S OUT

OF YOUR HANDS?

YOU TELL LEROY TO LAY OFF,

OR I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE YOU

THE SORRIEST COUNTY COMMISSIONER

IN THE STATE.

MAYBE AS WE GET TO KNOW EACH

OTHER BETTER, YOU'LL STOP

WONDERING IF I'M SOME DAMN FOOL.

I DOUBT IT, ELMO!

AREN'T YOU CURIOUS AS TO

WHY NOTHING'S EVER HAPPENED

TO KATHERINE HUBBLE?

WHAT?

THE ONE THING YOU VALUE MOST

IN THIS WORLD IS THE GOOD

OPINION OF THAT REDHEAD.

WELL... SHE DOES SEEM TO BE

A REAL NICE LADY.

THE KIND THAT WOULD NEVER

TOLERATE ANY HUMAN WEAKNESS

OR FLAW.

WHEN SHE FINDS OUT... WHAT

YOU ARE AND WHO YOU'VE BEEN

HELPING, WELL, YOU TELL ME,

WHAT WILL SHE DO?

YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

WHY I'M UPSET.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT...

YOU DIDN'T THINK IT THROUGH.

NOW... I GOT WORK TO DO.

YOU JUST WATCH IT, ELMO.

O.K., YOU GUYS, NOW,

I THINK THAT...

ALL RIGHT, NOW I'VE LOST

MY SENSE OF HUMOR! THIS ISN'T...

IS THIS YOU?

THIS ONE? IS THIS YOU?

YES, YOU JERK.

IS THIS YOU?

YES.

IS THIS YOU?

YES! OW! OW! OW!

SOMEHOW SHE MADE IT

BACK TO THE HIGHWAY, WHERE TWO

TEENAGE BOYS PICKED HER UP.

WHEN THEY SAW THE BLOOD SOAKING

THROUGH HER CLOTHES, THEY, UM,

DROPPED HER OFF OUTSIDE THE

EMERGENCY ROOM.

HOW DID THEY GET

THE DRAWINGS?

JACKIE MUST HAVE HAD 'EM

IN HER OFFICE.

I DID 'EM YEARS AGO.

THEY WERE NOTHING INDECENT,

FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I LOVED HER.

I LOVED THE WAY SHE LOOKED.

YOU MUSTN'T TALK ABOUT HER

LIKE THAT.

I MEAN, DON'T USE

THE PAST TENSE.

THEY TOOK IT ALL OUT

OF HER, KAT.

HER EYES ARE DULL NOW.

HER FACE IS DULL.

YOU CAN SEE HOW SHE LOOKS

WHEN SHE'LL GET OLD.

AND SHE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT

THEY DO TO YOUR STINKING BAY.

ROSS, MAYBE IT MAY NOT BE

AS BAD AS YOU THINK.

THANKS, BUT WE'RE GONNA TAKE

OUR LOSSES AND RUN.

I WANT TO BE THERE

WHEN SHE WAKES UP.

NO, JACKIE'S TOUGHER

THAN HE THINKS.

I NEVER THOUGHT

THEY WOULD DO THIS.

I SHOULD NOT HAVE LET ANYONE...

KAT, YOU'VE GOT TO STEP DOWN.

NO, TOM, WE'VE GONE

TOO FAR NOW.

I'LL GO TO THE MEETING ALONE.

NO.

YOU'RE GETTING INTERESTING,

MR. WING.

I DECIDED WE MAY HAVE THE SAME

DISEASE, ONLY DIFFERENT

SYMPTOMS.

WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR COFFEE

BREAK TONIGHT, DON'T BOTHER

COMING BACK.

I'LL HELP BORKLUND PUT

THE PAPER TO BED.

WE'LL BOTH DO IT.

THEN MAYBE YOU'LL HAVE TIME TO

COME OVER AND TRY TO SAVE YOUR

KNIGHTS FROM MY

ASSAULT.

ANOTHER TIME, BRI, ALL RIGHT?

CAN YOU TAKE IT JUST LIKE THAT,

WITH NO EXPLANATIONS?

GO HOME TO NAN,

TELL HER I LOVE HER.

I'LL KNOW SOMEHOW?

YEAH, YOU'LL KNOW.

O.K., THEN, I'M OFF.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

MR. BORKLUND? MR. BORKLUND?

YEAH, WHAT IS IT?

A MAN WAS JUST HERE.

HE WANTS ME TO COME

DOWN TO HIS CAR.

HE WANTS YOU TO LISTEN TOO.

WELL, WHO IS HE?

HE'S A BARTENDER I KNOW.

HE'S VERY RELIABLE.

HE SAYS HE OVERHEARD A

CONVERSATION THAT JUST MIGHT

GIVE US A HELL OF A NEWSBREAK.

O.K., BUT THIS BETTER

BE GOOD.

NOBODY HERE, WING.

HE'S IN THE ALLEYWAY.

I DON'T SEE ANYBODY.

AAH!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY.

YOU WERE ACTING SO STRANGE,

I DECIDED TO COME BACK.

MAN, THAT SON OF A BITCH

CAN TAKE A PUNCH.

GOD, ARE YOU OUT

OF YOUR MIND?

HERE TAKE THIS. SHUT UP, WILL YOU?

GO OVER BY THE LIGHT

AND READ THIS.

I'VE GOT SOME THINGS TO DO HERE.

LIKE WHAT, STOMP HIM

A LITTLE?

WILL YOU JUST GO OVER AND

READ THIS BEFORE HE COMES TO

AND THINKS YOU'RE IN ON IT?

HOLY JESUS CHRIST.

HOW DO YOU LIKE J.J.'S BIG

FAT INITIALS THERE?

IT'LL PASS, BUT WHAT'S

YOUR ANGLE HERE? NONE.

WHAT KIND OF PROTECTION...

SWORD OF TRUTH.

DID YOU HAVE TO PUT

AN ASSAULT RAP ON TOP OF

EVERYTHING ELSE?

YOU GIVE ME THIS,

YOU GO HOME.

NO! NO, THEY'LL BELIEVE

TWO OF US QUICKER THAN THEY

WILL ONE. NO, NO, NO, BRI.

YOU'LL GET FIRED.

NO, I WON'T!

THEY'LL HAVE TO FIRE YOU,

AND I'LL BE TWICE AS VALUABLE.

BESIDES... I DIDN'T

PUNCH HIM OUT, YOU DID.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

I'M GONNA HAVE 'EM THROW

THE BOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE CRAZY.

CRAZY.

I SAW THE PAPER.

IS IT TRUE?

JIMMY, HOW DID THEY GET YOU

TO DO IT?

THE KIDS HERE?

NO, THEY'RE AT THE SINNATS'.

DID YOU NEED MONEY?

JIMMY, DID THEY HAVE SOMETHING

ON YOU?

I NEEDED SOMETHING TO DO.

THEY MADE IT SOUND INNOCENT,

INEVITABLE.

WHAT, WHAT DO YOU WANT

ME TO SAY? BRAVO?

WANT A BIG, FAT MEDAL OF HONOR?

THEY USED YOU.

ME?

EITHER I JOINED UP OR THEY

SAID THEY'D USE ROUGHER PEOPLE.

SO I KEPT THEM OFF YOU.

WELL, I DON'T NEED ANYBODY

TO LOOK AFTER ME, O.K.?

DID I ASK FOR PROTECTION?

NO.

AND WHY SHOULD I BE THAT

IMPORTANT TO YOU ANYWAY?

'CAUSE YOU ARE.

'CAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN

FOR A LONG TIME.

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ADMIT IT

TO MYSELF.

JIMMY, YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD

FRIEND TO ME, AND I APPRECIATE

ALL THAT, BUT I DON'T...

I MEAN, I DON'T...

CAN'T DO...

I CAN'T DO THIS.

PLEASE.

KAT...

DON'T TALK.

KAT!

LISTEN, THE LEAST YOU CAN DO

NOW IS BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF.

IF WE LOVED EACH OTHER, WE MIGHT

BE ABLE TO MAKE SOMETHING OF

THIS, BUT AS IT IS...

NOW, I'M NOT SPECIAL TO YOU

ANYMORE, AM I?

NO, NOT THE WAY YOU WERE.

I THINK YOU BETTER JUST GO.

I KNOW.

I KNOW.

I KNOW!

YOU SURE MADE A HELL OF A

MESS OUT OF A SIMPLE REAL ESTATE

TRANSACTION.

LOOK, I GOT TO GET

BACK TO YOU.

THAT WAS BORKLUND.

TOLD HIM TO GO HOME,

TAKE A COUPLE OF ASPIRIN.

PUT ME THROUGH A BUSY

MORNING, JAMES.

I HAD TO SOOTHE A LOT

OF NERVOUS PEOPLE.

YOU TOOK TOO BIG A BITE.

THE HELL HE DID.

EVERYTHING WAS FINE!

GET ON OUT OF HERE,

LEROY, AND TAKE CARE OF THOSE

LITTLE DETAILS WE DISCUSSED.

ELMO, I JUST

CAN'T RESIST IT.

I TOLD YOU SO.

LEROY'S ALL WORKED UP.

DELLIE'S ALL WORKED UP.

MY OLDEST FOUR KIDS

ARE ALL WORKED UP.

I TELL YOU, WHEN A MAN HAS THAT

MANY FOLKS DEPENDING ON HIM AND

LOOKING UP TO HIM, HE CARRIES

A HEAVY LOAD.

AND IT HAPPENS, FEELS LIKE HE

LETS DOWN EVERY LAST ONE OF 'EM.

WANT I SHOULD GO TALK

TO THEM?

MAYBE GET A LITTLE INFORMATION.

ARE YOU TOO DUMB

TO BE SCARED?

YOU COULD WIND UP TIED

TO A TREE.

I COULD WIND UP A LOT

OF WAYS, ELMO.

THE PITY OF IT IS, YOU'RE

CAUSING ME NO REAL HARDSHIP.

I MAY TAKE SOME FLAK FROM THEM

INVESTORS NOW, BUT WHEN THE TIME

COMES, THEY'LL FALL IN LINE

SO QUICK, PUT CRAMPS IN

THEIR NECKS.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA USE

THE MONEY FOR?

I TOLD YOU THAT ONCE.

YOU'LL HAVE TO RUN

AGAINST SOMEBODY.

THEY'LL HAVE NAMES AND PLACES.

YOU'LL NEVER GET THE STATE

BACKING YOU NEED.

WHAT GOT YOU HATING

ME SO MUCH?

I DON'T HATE YOU, ELMO.

YOU KNOW...

YOU HAD PRACTICALLY NO CHANCE

OF MAKING GOVERNOR ANYWAY.

NOW YOU'VE GOT NO CHANCE AT ALL.

AND TO THINK I WAS WORRIED

ABOUT LEROY.

THAT JUST BEATS ALL, DON'T IT?

ANYHOW... YOU'RE WRONG.

THIS'LL DIE DOWN.

I JUST WAIT LONGER, THAT'S ALL.

...TO DISCUSS A PERSONAL

MATTER THAT HAS DIRECT BEARING

ON THE PALMLAND ISSUE.

COMMISSIONER BLISS

IS RECOGNIZED.

AND IN THE MOST ORDERLY

FASHION, A HEARING WAS SET FOR

THIS EVENING TO CONSIDER THE

MERITS OF PALMLAND ISLES

DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

THEN, AS MOST OF YOU ALL KNOW, A

MALICIOUS REPORT APPEARED IN THE

NEWSPAPER THIS MORNING WITHOUT

THE KNOWLEDGE AND CERTAINLY NOT

THE APPROVAL OF THE EDITOR...

MR. BORKLUND... OR HIS PUBLISHER.

I AM THE VICTIM OF A SENSELESS

SLANDER, AND A FULL RETRACTION

WILL APPEAR IN THE PAPER

TOMORROW.

HOWEVER, IN VIEW OF THE DOUBTS

THAT THIS INCIDENT MAY HAVE

RAISED IN THE MINDS OF A FEW OF

YOU, I WILL ABSTAIN FROM VOTING

ON THIS ISSUE WHEN IT COMES

BEFORE THE COMMISSION.

THANK YOU.

YOU WANT TO HEAR

ANY MORE?

JIMMY... DOES OUR PAST TOGETHER

STILL MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

IT WAS THE BEST TIME

FOR ME EVER.

IT WAS A GOOD TIME.

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO LEAVE

HERE FOR AGES.

WE COULD GO TOGETHER.

WE COULD START LIKE THIS WHOLE

MESS HADN'T HAPPENED.

WRONG.

I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO DO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YET.

O.K..

YOU LET ME KNOW.

YEAH.

I'VE GOT TO GO HOME.

I'LL DROP YOU OFF, O.K.?

O.K.

NEVER SAW

ANYTHING LIKE IT IN MY LIFE.

THEY ACTUALLY STOOD UP AND

CHEERED WHEN HE GOT DONE.

AND NOW EVERYBODY WANTS

TO PRETEND THAT NOTHING REALLY

HAPPENED.

YOU KNOW, KAT THINKS YOU'VE

ALREADY GONE.

I WORKED ON 13 PAPERS

IN SEVEN STATES.

RECORD-JOURNALAND I

BELONG TOGETHER.

BUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE

STUCK HERE, JIM.

NOW YOU CAN FINALLY TAKE OFF.

HE'S A FRIEND IN JACKSONVILLE.

HE NEEDS SOMEBODY BAD.

AT LEAST IT'S A START.

THANKS, BRI.

BRIAN SAID YOU ASKED ABOUT ME.

I WONDERED ABOUT YOU.

I PHONED.

I GUESS...

I GUESS I WANTED YOU TO KNOW

THAT WE ALL APPRECIATED WHAT

YOU TRIED TO DO.

REGARDS FROM THE COMMITTEE.

WELL, NO, NOT EXACTLY.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU

THAT, UM, IT WASN'T ALL PLANNED

OUT THAT WAY.

NO... NO, I KNOW.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE

DO THINGS THAT THEY...

YEAH, WE WERE BOTH UPSET,

AND IT JUST HAPPENED.

I MEAN, THAT'S ALL.

YEAH.

YOU'RE RIGHT... OF COURSE.

BRIAN GOT A GOOD JOB LINED UP

FOR ME IN JACKSONVILLE.

OH, YEAH? THAT'S GREAT.

YEAH.

WELL, GOOD LUCK WITH IT.

THANKS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

YOU HAVE RUINED EVERYTHING

IN HERE.

JUST GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!

AND A WHISKEY.

DAMN, JIM... YOU SURE

HAVE A SENSE OF TIMING.

THANK YOU, BARLOW.

WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING

HERE, WING?

OH, JUST HAVING A DRINK.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?

BARLOW'S.

I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE.

YOU DUMB SHIT.

YOU'RE SITTING RIGHT IN THE

MIDDLE OF ELMO COUNTRY.

EVERYBODY HERE HE'S HELPED OUT

ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.

THAT ELMO, HE'S A FINE MAN.

EVERYBODY IN THIS PLACE KNOWS

YOU TOLD A LOT OF STINKING LIES

ABOUT THE ONLY MAN TO EVER COME

INTO COUNTY GOVERNMENT TO HELP

HIS OWN KIND.

WING, YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND?

BACK OFF, WALKER.

NOTHING HAPPENS IN HERE.

YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHO

YOU SERVE, DO YOU, BARLOW?

COULD BE YOU SHOULD

GET OUT FAST.

I LIKE IT HERE.

YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT HERE

INSIDE, BUT FOR LEAVING, YOU MAY

NEED A COUPLE OF DEPUTIES.

YOU THINK THEY'D COME

IF THEY KNEW, HMM?

THAT'S ON THE HOUSE, JIM.

I HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT FOR YOU.

THANKS, BARLOW.

I THINK I MIGHT NEED IT.

YOU ALL KNOW ELMO BLISS?

YOU KNOW ELMO.

HE'S A MONSTER AND A THIEF.

HE GETS HIS WAY BY DOING CHEAP

FAVORS FOR MEATBALLS LIKE YOU.

WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S

A GOOD THING Y'ALL LOVE HIM SO

MUCH, 'CAUSE I FIXED HIM GOOD.

SO Y'ALL BE ABLE TO KISS HIS ASS

FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES.

THANK YOU, BARLOW.

SON OF A BITCH!

GET THAT GOD DAMN...

GET HIM OUT!

GET HIM OUT!

THAT'S THE LAST ONE, CALVIN.

I'LL TAKE THIS ONE INSIDE.

THANK YOU.

TAKE CARE OF HER.

...HE CAN'T LEAN ON HIS WALLS,

'CAUSE HE'S SURE TO FALL OVER

LIKE THIS.

EXCELLENT.

O.K., NOW ONE MORE TIME,

ALL RIGHT?

A MAN IN A HOUSE BUILT BY BLISS

HAS ONE COMFORT

HE SURELY WILL MISS.

WHEN THE RAIN STARTS TO FALL,

HE CAN'T LEAN ON HIS WALLS,

'CAUSE HE'S SURE TO FALL OVER

LIKE THIS.

VERY GOOD.

EXCUSE ME JUST A SECOND.

Dr. Ann Davis, 1-3-8-1,

Dr. Ann Davis, 1-3-8-1.

HEY, JIM, GET ON IN.

YOU WAITING FOR SOMEBODY?

TURN A BIT.

OH, DAMN!

SURE YOU DIDN'T GO GET YOUR

FACE MESSED UP PERMANENT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY

IN JACKSONVILLE?

I MISSED THE SUNSETS.

JAKE, COME HERE, COME HERE.

GET IT!

YOU CAN'T GET NO SUITABLE

WORK HERE.

YOU CAN'T HAVE NO NORMAL LIFE.

WHY ARE YOU SO WORRIED

ABOUT ME, ELMO?

I'M NOT WORRIED.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, I COULD

HAVE HAD YOU KILLED,

YOU SILLY BASTARD.

YOU HAD TO KEEP ME ALIVE SO

FOLKS WOULD THINK I DONE YOU

NO REAL HARM.

YEAH, BUT YOU KEEP GOING DOWN

TO EVERSET, AND PEOPLE THINK

IT'S ME GETTING YOU BEAT HALF

TO DEATH. I LIKE TO FISH.

I GOT THE REVEREND COOMBS

RUN OUT OF THE COUNTY.

TRAILER PARK BRIGADE IS BACK

IN ITS CAGE.

PEOPLE ARE FORGETTING FAST.

I WANT THEY SHOULD FORGET

THE WHOLE THING.

I CAN'T FORGET WHAT

WE DID, ELMO.

YOU LEAVE A BAD TASTE, JAMES.

ARE YOU GONNA GO LOOKING

FOR ANY MORE TROUBLE?

I DON'T KNOW.

$2,000 GETS YOU A LONG WAYS

AWAY FROM HERE.

TRIED GOING AWAY.

I DIDN'T LIKE IT.

YOU WANT A FOREMAN JOB?

I'LL BREAK YOU IN ON THE

FOUNDATION FINISHING WORK.

I TRIED WORKING FOR YOU

TOO, REMEMBER?

DAMN YOU, WING!

YOU GOT FOLKS LAUGHING AT ME.

YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME DO

SOMETHING THAT'S ACTUALLY

GONNA TURN MY STOMACH.

NEXT TIME YOU WAKE UP IN

THE HOSPITAL, YOU TAKE A GOOD

LOOK AROUND.

YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT

OF FAMILIAR FACES LAID UP

RIGHT BESIDE YOU.

HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M NOT

OUT OF MY MIND?

YOU KICKED ME IN THE HEAD

THE FIRST TIME.

HOW DO YOU KNOW I GIVE A DAMN

WHO YOU ROUGH UP?

WHAT IN HELL DO YOU

WANT FROM ME?

CAN'T YOU FIGURE THAT OUT?

I'D BE HUMBLY GRATEFUL

IF YOU TOLD ME.

I'M A RELUCTANT PARTICIPANT,

ELMO.

BEFORE THIS SUMMER, I NEVER

REALLY EVEN WANTED TO STAY IN

THIS TOWN... BUT YOU GOT ME

INTERESTED AGAIN.

CAME BACK TO KIND OF KEEP

THE SIDES EVEN.

WE COULD HAVE AN

INTERESTING LIFE...

BUT I THINK I'D RATHER

FIGHT YOU IN A WAY I KNEW

MORE ABOUT.

YOU WANT ME TO GET YOU

BACK ON THAT NEWSPAPER?

THINK WE'D BOTH BE HAPPIER.

HONEST TO GOD, WING!

YOU GOT MORE BRASS THAN SENSE.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET YOU

BACK ON A JOB WHERE I DIDN'T

LIKE YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE?

I DON'T EXPECT A...

I DON'T EXPECT A THING, ELMO.

EITHER WAY, I'VE GOT MY JOB

HOUND-DOGGING YOU.

MAYBE ON THE PAPER I'LL HOUND

SOME OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL.

YOU PLAY IT WHICHEVER WAY YOU

THINK WILL WORK OUT BEST

FOR YOU.

I'LL SEE YOU AROUND.

COME ON BACK HERE, JIMMY.

WE AIN'T DONE TALKING YET.

HEY, JAKE!

JAKE, COME HERE!

THANKS, JIM.

YOU SEEN IT YET?

YOU MEAN THE FLASH?

I SEEN IT THREE TIMES

THIS WINTER ALREADY.

GOT MY JOB BACK.

I KNOW.

EVERYBODY'S BEEN TALKING

ABOUT IT.

WASN'T A DEAL.

I FIGURED THAT.

TELL THE KIDS I SAID HI.

YEAH.

I'VE GOT A LATE LUNCH HOUR NOW.

I TAKE MY COFFEE BREAK

ABOUT 11:15.

SAME PLACE?

YOU WANT SOMETHING, MISTER?

THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.

NO.

WHAT?

I'M JUST LOOKING.

IT IS KIND OF PRETTY,

AIN'T IT?

YEAH, I GUESS MAYBE.
