Everything's okay.

No. No spotting. Everything's okay.

I still think you ought to stay in bed.

I'm gonna.

At least until the doctor calls.

At least until the doctor calls.

Now what are you doing?

Setting things up for you.

Next, you're gonna get out of bedpan,
and if you do that, I'm gonna bop you in

the nose.

No, I'm not gonna get out of bedpan
next. Next, I'm just gonna love you and

real happy.

If I skip the Olympics, I'll be home by
three.

Oh, no, you don't. I don't want them
calling up and blaming me because they

on account of you weren't there for the
rope climb. I hate climbing ropes.

I'm lousy at it.

No sale.

Go for the gold, Raper.

You know what this place needs?

A Christmas tree.

Christmas comes, I feel like a glorified
personnel officer.

Okay, starting at the top.

Captain Furler's going to get a head
start on a holiday weekend.

He's taking a personal day. Lieutenant
Goldbloom's going to be in command. Now,

reassigns and overtimes. Night tour
officers.

Coleman and Samovitz, Lewis and Dulles,
Craig and Kramer, they all paired today

on account of half tours and personal
days by certain individuals that you

grunting and groaning in the boiler
-weight room.

Now this is our Hill Street contingent
getting their last lap of conditioning

for the first annual Hill Street Firemen
vs. Cops Benefit Olympics.

A stellar event is going to take place
today, Friday at 3 p .m. in the men's

gymnasium of P .S.

114, Decker and 127th.

Proceeds to the youth organization for
the Christmas needy. Now, yours truly

just happens to have a few advanced
ducats available at a deuce. Now,

contributions at the door are going to
be $2 .75. Folks, this is something

definitely worth going into your pocket.

Not just because the cause is worthy,
but to see which of our people is going

live.

How many do you want, huh? Come on. All
covered. We sure could be down there

with you guys, but... Doctor's orders.

J .D., will you stop blowing that
cigarette smoke in my face, please?

Hey, don't be such a fanatic, Franco.

As your non -playing captain coach, I
ask you to be practical in your

expectations, gentlemen. We cannot
expect to overcome years of inactivity

one birth.

of exercise here in preparation for this
athletic contest.

Way to be a real optimist, uh, Kouten.

I was just thinking realistically,
Joseph.

Uh, Trump now.

I've got to do it this time, Bobby Hill.

I can feel it. A complete reorientation
of my lifestyle.

Yeah, I heard that before. I just cannot
believe the kind of shape my corpus has

gotten into. Tell me about it, Ranko.
I'm lucky if I can do 50 of these.

I remember I could do 100 without even
breaking a sweat.

Me too!

Yeah, in a week, maybe.

You know, I used to do 100 push -ups
every morning before I sat down to

breakfast. A whole blind ain't a sin,
Rinko. Hey, that's good, those wrist

curls. That's very good for that arm
wrestling event, Andrew. You just listen

me, Charles Atlas Coffey.

I may look like I'm out of shape, but I
have more raw, brute muscle power than

you ever had in your entire lifetime.

All right, Rinko, come on, show me what
you can do. All right, gentlemen, let's

save our competitive instincts for the
Hill Street Firefighters. Hey, Rinko,

come on.

We want to do clean and jerk this sucker
here.

Well, what do we got there? 180 pounds?
You want to start that low?

Yeah. I'll start right where it is.
Recall. Remember.

You're growing.

We have a 9 -11.

I'm offering you progress.

Seat surplus, door corner, people's
drive.

Yeah. All right, yeah.

I'll check him out, and if he's selling
dope, I'll pop him, right?

Yeah. Okay, uh, Mrs.

Franklin. Right. Okay, I got it. Yeah.

So, bye.

Complain on the guy selling dope.

Your dress.

I got it.

They got Spinelli on that list,
Lieutenant? In due course, J .D.

Oh, LaRose.

I think you'll find the roster we've
submitted for the benefit of Olympic

Squares with our personnel, Inspector
Bascom.

Except, of course, for the one allowable
guest athlete.

Yeah? Who are you guys going to use?

My dear Inspector Bascom, surely you
don't expect me to reveal our whole card

this time.

Yeah, who's the fire department bringing
in?

My dear policeman, Coffee.

Forget it.

Joe. Hey, Slugger, how you feeling? You
ready? I'm fine, except I'm not going to

do it, and I want you to tell the
lieutenant for me, thanks.

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. I just don't want to
spend my day off doing a tug -of -war.

You know, you are just like clockwork.

What does that mean? It gets closer to
Christmas and you start bumming yourself

out. Seriously? What are you going to
do? You're going to go home and stare at

the walls?

I'm going to go finish my Christmas
shopping, Dr. Know -It -All.

Well, ho, ho, ho to you too, Luce. Can
you get him down here by noon, Sid?

Beautiful.

Oh, you are aces, Sidney. There's going
to be a little something extra in your

Christmas stocking. Hey, Bates.

Lieutenant, I think we've got a late
scratch on Sergeant Bates. What,

indisposition? No, I think it's more
like Christmas blots or something.

Oh. Well, we'll be making a roster
substitution for Sergeant Bates in the

-of -war inspection.

Other than the guest athlete, all
participants must be on the rolls of the

precinct. Mahoney from night shift.

Okay, and then substitute for Sergeant
Bates is Officer William Mahoney.

Sid says he can deliver. He says this
guy makes Arnold Schwarzenegger look

normal. Hey, remember Sid gets a little
carried away sometimes. Hey, Inspector,

how would the fire department feel about
a little side bet on the tug -of -war?

What kind of side bet? A bet. You know,
like a currency?

Detective, these benefit Olympics have
been organized to a charitable purpose.

Give me a break, Lieutenant, and we're
going to be one of the charities. I

what do you say? I mean, I'm sure you
fire guys are bringing in some ace guest

athlete. Plus, you're all such hunky
selves.

You could probably be had on a side bet.

200 to the winning team? And half the
proceeds to the youth fund? 500.

Whoa, sounds like a confident man. Five.
You're faded.

Now, I don't doubt the city's finest,
but we'll expect to see the dough before

the event. Wouldn't have it any other
way.

Gentlemen, I see you use the PS -114.
Absolutely.

J .D., are you sure our ringer's better
than their ringer?

The message, Joseph.

Why don't you ride with Silver?

J .D., what's the angle, man?

I'm going to say one word to you guys.

Mr. Baltimore Speedway.

Up to here. No, no, no.

Get out! No!

Get out so I can get in here now!

No, you don't want to do this. Believe
me, I want to do it. No!

Okay, hey, hey, hey. What's the problem
now? I'm the landlord. These people are

five months behind in their rent.

They've got their notice of eviction.
I'm trying to make repairs so I can re

-rent. He doesn't want to make repairs.

He wants to come in so he can destroy
the Virgin. That's what he wants to do.

First thing, we put down the wood, okay?

Now.

Now, what is this Virgin that's being
destroyed? The Virgin that is in my

apartment. He wants to destroy it. You
don't know this guy.

He said the Holy Virgin appeared in his
apartment.

Well, what does that have to do with
paying the rent? You don't believe me,

Come in. Come in and I'll show you.
That's not the point. That is the point.

Come in and take a look, please.

You see?

Mira, look at the sadness in her eyes.

She suffers for all of us.

And he wants to pay me head over so that
we'll go. It's a stain from the water

upstairs. No, it was a miracle. You
understand.

Whatever this is, it doesn't change the
fact that you owe back rent.

Now, this man has the right to throw you
out if you don't pay him his dough.

People give money so she will be saved.

Yesterday, two dollars. Today, another
two dollars. That's great. I'm rich.

Look, four bucks ain't gonna make it. I
did everything for this man. I'm a

businessman. I'm not a janitor.

Businessman? What's your business?

Before this, he was selling stupid
vitamins.

All right, look. Look, it's Christmas.

And I don't want to make busts here,
okay?

Now, if this man could find work and
start paying full rent, plus a little

something on what he owes, if he did
that, I would worship at the water

Meanwhile, I call the marshals. They
will be here at five o 'clock. I'm

if he gets work by five o 'clock. If he
gets work, make a dent in what he owes.

All right, you hear that?

Yes.

Now, you promised me not to hurt the
Virgin meantime.

Listen to him with the Virgin. Dreamer.

Not if you get work.

Can't hurt, huh?

We're getting close, aren't we?

How could you tell?

I can feel you getting nervous.

I'm nervous too, Frank.

Tell me one more time why we're doing
this.

Somebody had to make the first move.

It's been five years.

You think five years has changed what
they feel about your divorce?

I don't honestly know.

I hope so.

Join the club.

They've repainted it.

now. I'm so happy.

Mama?

Joyce?

Hello, Mrs. Farilla. No, please. I'm
Barbara.

It's been so long. Too long.

How's Pop?

He's fine. He's at work. He's so excited
about seeing you. You told me on the

phone he was taking a day off. Yeah, he
wanted to, but they called and, well,

you know how it is. There's always
something to do with the plan.

But he's coming later.

Come on, let's go inside.

Let's try to maintain ourselves away
from legal entanglement so we can make

benefit Olympic.

There's Bun.

How's it going there, Lieutenant?

All right, listen, you want to drive
around the corner and pull up in front

that church?

What's the turkey for?

This is our new narc, Officer Giblet. He
needs you guys as witnesses to some

probable cause.

Jerk we wants in a lizard coat.

Lady from the church, as ours said, she
knows he's a pusher. You see him

selling? If she saw him, we wouldn't
need the bird, right?

All right, turn around now.

All right, boys.

Hey, man, I ain't no farmer.

Go that bird back in the oven where it
should be. Oh, no, you got it wrong,

This here is a scientifically trained
dope -sniffing turkey.

Officer Giblet. Huh?

Oh, yeah. Whoa!

The officer here is starting to take the
scent.

He is vibrating like a pencil in a candy
store, huh? Yeah, he is kind of

vibrating, isn't he?

Funny now, Raincoat, but guess whose
name goes down on this report?

I hope nobody is holding here, because
when a Turk hones in, he goes kind of

nuts. Look at him. He's vibrating there.

Well, I don't swing with no dope, except
for a little cough syrup now and then.

He don't mind that, does he?

I don't know. Let's find out here, huh?

There you go, Officer Giblet. Okay,

he's clean.

Get out of here. Let's try this next
dude here.

I ain't afraid of no turkey. No? Then
how come you're sweating?

That bird don't smell drugs. He's on
them.

Oh, boy, he's shaking.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

Oh, yeah, he's hot. The officer's very
hot. Here, whoa.

Okay, let's see. Let's start up here at
the head.

Let's snip the right little bit here,
huh?

Okay,

you get back up against that fence, Pat.
That's flight, suspicion, probable

cause. Turn around and face that bird.

All right.

Aha.

Hey, this man is a traveling pharmacy.

Officer, would you bust this man here,
please? Turn around and face that bird.

Go on, go on.

Is that Officer Giblet? Oh, you say you
got a bus to make over at the Heights

this afternoon?

All right, I'll see you.

Christmas Eve!

My father carved these.

My first duck hunt.

I shot the decoy.

I'm not sure Pop ever forgave me. Of
course he does.

Something looks different.

Oh, we enlarged the doorway to the
dining room. You can't stare away five

and expect to find nothing's changed.

Look at this.

Look. Faith sent this.

That boy, I'm telling you, he has an
artistic talent just like Grandfather.

Frank Jr. took this? He never mentioned
it.

Yeah. He won the school photo contest.

Faith called. By the way, Faith calls
every week.

My baby dog. My baby dog. Merry
Christmas. Hank.

Oh, good to see you. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Stella, take your sister, all right? I
want you to meet my wife, Joyce. Joyce.

Hi. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to
you. Hi, Tommy. Merry Christmas. And

who's this?

She can't talk yet.

Look at this guy.

A couple of years younger and I'm
fighting a gut.

You got him in training or what?

So, what do you think, Frank?

Last time I saw you, it was just Tommy.
You've been busy.

You better get busy. I'm way ahead.

Don't you worry. Frank is going to have
a family as big as yours. Right, Frank?

Actually, we don't plan on having
children.

Wrong thing to say, Frank. Mama's
bucking for more grandkids.

All right, not now, but maybe later on
you'll want your own family.

Mama, I have a son and we both have
careers.

We're not thinking about a family.

You have careers?

What is the life with our children in
the home?

Joyce! You were married before.

You don't have children?

No, I don't.

Well, no matter what your feelings are,
yours and Frank's, I'll tell you that no

marriage is blessed unless there are
children.

Jesus Martinez, Sergeant.

Paralegal for Attorney Brown. What can I
do for you, Mr. Martinez?

I'm here to talk to one of Attorney
Brown's clients to remain a burden.

Interrogation room B, Mr. Martinez.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Madre mia.

What do you want?

Detectives from Washington around.

Inside.

Where's Mr. Brown?

Where's Mr. Green?

That's a down payment.

I don't see where it says made in
Switzerland.

I hear it here.

That's in Mexico.

That's the onyx.

That's jive. Come on, man. What's the
holdup?

Come on. Come on. Car keys.

Where's the park?

112, off Decker.

You live in 142nd. You were busted on
129th.

And you're sure it's on 112th?

No lie.

What do you think you're talking to?

Some little girl PD?

Because if you come such a line to me,
Burton, you're going to be wanting 90

days. You're going to be asking the
judge to give you more.

Maybe it was 130th off Van Buren.

Retainer gratefully accepted.

Come on, man. It's a Bonneville.

Beauty.

Come up with two grand so you can have
your keys back.

Now tell me, what went down?

I got busted.

By a turkey.

Good.

Delivered. Hey, guys, meet Leonard.

Solid.

Detective's, uh, LaRue in Washington.

Hey, fellas.

Uh, Len, I understand you ain't quite a
rep back in Baltimore.

Tell him what you used to do.

Got wasted.

Not that.

With the cars at the Speedway. What do
you mean? Picking them up? Putting them

down?

It used to be Mr.

Baltimore Speedway.

Len, you ever been in a federal war?

No, he nips a lot.

The man's got advanced degrees in
tugging.

A little hungry, fellas.

No problem.

Celeste, phone our guest as he's
ordering for the amokers. We'll pick it

the way back. We'll take care of you.

Uh, get what you want now. Don't be shy.

A couple of pizzas might do it. Did I do
good, fellas?

You did beautiful.

Uh -huh. So is this the part where I get
tightened up? We combine your fondness,

Pete, with a Christmas present while you
sit.

Yeah, we figured it being Christmas cash
was a little lame. Hey, I gotta tell

you something. I'm no sentimental.

Well, we decided to get you a present
instead.

Fellas, I mean, voila.

Well, it ain't ticking.

Paper?

My 416?

My $3 ,600 wedding ticket?

How'd you guys get this out of heaven?
You found that, Sid. You understand?

Copy? Sure.

Hey, Merry Christmas, my man.

You guys put me away, and then you go
and do something like this?

Don't anybody ever put that American
front to Sidney Thurston, all right?

Don't anybody ever knock law
enforcement.

All right, let's help ourselves as one
team.

Detective Leroux, the benefit Olympics
awaits.

Gotta go, Sid. Drop the Glenn case with
me later. Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

You drive it.

Oh, wait till Renko sees you.

You got a minute for me?

Sure.

I haven't seen the case report yet. Was
Hill and Renko's caller the call you

went out on? Right.

Where'd you take that?

I mean, shouldn't that have been a
uniform call from the beginning?

I picked up the phone. I didn't have
nothing else to do. I don't want this to

a beef between us, but I do want to talk
about the procedure.

Yo, Lieutenant.

I'm busy now, Jesus.

It's about your man here.

He busted one of Attorney Brown's
clients, a Jermaine Burton, with a dope

sniffing turkey.

Yeah, and your man turned out to be
holding plenty. The thing is, I drop a

at the zoo, Henry.

Turkeys and chicken happen to be what,
uh...

Gelly forms, which means they got a
poorly developed olfactory sense.

Dude can smell squat.

Therefore, no probable cause.

Well, I'd be quite surprised if the
turkey was grounds for Lieutenant

arrest. The grounds was your guy ran
away when I stopped him for questioning,

all right?

No sale, Lieutenant.

My client says it was represented to
him. He already had probable cause

the dope -sniffing turkey.

Your client, Jesus?

I didn't know you passed the bar.

Don't need no law degree to smell a
hummer out, Henry.

When Attorney Brown gets here, your man
is going to be eating the dark meat.

Hey, you're the bright boy from the
gangs, aren't you? I heard about you.

us a second, answers.

Yeah, I'll give you more than that.

So?

You read the same policy numbers? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. No subterfuge to establish

probable cause. Case law clarifies.
Stan, would you release a perp named

No probable cause.

All right. That's great. You want me to
apologize to the guy, too, huh? You want

me to give him his dope back? No, no.
Huh?

On behalf of this class of Attorney
Harold Brown, I would like to buy half a

roll of tickets for the Christmas
Olympics.

The turkey client's getting the boot.

Ah, make that $10 more.

All right, move on, and don't let the
door hit you in the butt on the way out.

Take it personal, Lieutenant. It's the
nature of the adversarial system.

Now, you watch your lip, right boy. If
you show your ugly face around here

anymore, I'm going to rip it off.

Take it easy, man. You're pursuing some
dry cleaning here.

Attorney Brown.

Officer, you let my paralegal go now.

I told you you got nothing on me.

Now, I'm right back on the streets doing
my same old, same old. It's been real

fun, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant, I'm filing a legal complaint
for harassment.

Oh, geez, I'm in a panic, you know.

It's Christmas. Everybody's a little
hot.

I'll try to cool down. Are you okay,
Jesus?

Yeah. I'll live.

Norm? Yeah, yeah.

I can't breathe in this freaking place.

I'm suffocating in this freaking place.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas. Same small world, isn't
it? I missed you in the last few

classes. You did.

You lose interest?

No, not really.

Why'd you stop?

Oh, you know, I don't know. I was
feeling kind of weird.

About ceramics?

I was feeling kind of weird about you.

So, it wasn't just one way.

What does that mean?

It wasn't just me having a crush on you.

Listen, would you like to have a cup of
coffee or anything? I'd like to talk to

you for a few minutes.

Finished up your shopping?

My wife and I separated three days ago.

No kidding.

No kidding.

I'm supposed to say I'm sorry.

I am too.

If I was talking with anybody else, if I
was talking with anyone but you, I'd

say how we were trying to get it back
together. We hope it'll still work out.

And if you were talking with me, then...
Then I'd say I'd like to do all the

things that I thought of us doing
together right now.

And I guess you might have thought about
doing, too.

You're so

funny.

Well, you know, my bedroom... I've been
saying for three years that I was going

to start paying there, right? So when do
I start?

And it's a great time.

It's not a problem.

Let me get you a beer or something.
Would you like a beer? Oh, I don't know.

Let me think about it for a minute.

Holy cow.

What?

I am nervous and I guess that's a good
sign, huh?

Why is that?

Because if we're going to be casual
about this, I mean, we probably

even be here at all.

That store I was close to getting
arrested for public lewdness.

I wanted to jump you right there.

I was feeling a little warm myself.

A little caliente.

You know, we don't have to do this.

I know.

I mean, being separated only three days.

Maybe it's...

Do you want to?

You.

Bob.

Sophie's mom's been living with us ever
since the old man died. Drives Sophie

crazy. Maybe you want to take her home
with you.

What's with Pop?

Something's never changed.

When I call, he won't even get on the
phone.

Frank.

He doesn't know what to say.

You're divorced. It was like something
from outer space for him.

They don't even mention it to their
friends.

She may be a perfectly nice person, but
I don't feel it's a natural union.

Mama sees his wife. In the eyes of the
church, Faye is still his wife. I know

son. He would want children.

Mama. All this talk about careers.
That's not for Frank. Mama.

What?

Sophie's trying to tell you I heard what
you said.

Oh, sure.

You were listening to us. Small house,
it's hard not to. She didn't mean it the

way it sounded.

Oh, please.

Mama.

What I said, I'd say to her face.

Career woman.

That's enough, Mama.

Joyce is my wife. Either you accept her
or we're leaving.

I can't help what I feel.

It's wrong.

Yes and no, Mama. Now will you talk to
me?

Mama, please. You're way out of line.

Don't talk to me. Sophie, please.

Go find Joyce.

Frank. Frank, don't leave.

Frank, please. Mama. I don't want you to
be a stranger to my house.

get in the car and go home.

I'm sorry.

I really didn't think it would come to
this.

You didn't? Really?

If you want to leave, we'll leave. But
you'd like me to give her another

right? Is that it?

Frank, I never should have come.

She'll never accept me.

Joyce, listen to me.

I've talked about this woman for years.
She flies off the handle. She doesn't

mean 10 % of what she says.

I disagree. I think she does.

Though maybe it's not entirely her
fault.

Have you ever told her why your first
marriage failed? I mean the real reason.

No, I haven't.

Well, you can't duck things for six
years, Frank, and expect them to go

Did you tell her that I can't have
children?

You see how she is. I haven't discussed
any of those things with her.

You mean she uses hysterics to make you
feel guilty so you say nothing.

Go psychoanalyze her. You watch. She'll
come out and talk to you now.

Wonderful. I can't wait.

Just your basic family visit.

was wonderful.

Amen.

You know, I'm glad we did it.

Me too.

I mean, there's no obligation at all to
either one of us. I understand.

You know what I want? Can I tell you?

Of course.

I want for us to be close.

Well, yeah, well, we are.

Couldn't have gotten much closer.

I didn't score us. I was up to it. No
way.

I ought to go.

They don't remember how it really was.
They don't even remember how they

about Frank.

Did you know Frank when he was married
to Faye?

I met him just after their divorce.

He was in bad shape then.

Does he drink anymore?

Not at all.

You've done a lot for him.

And it shows.

You know, Frank and I, we've always
liked different things.

Like country miles, city miles, you
know.

I really love that guy.

I miss seeing him a lot.

You should come and see us, Joe.

You really want a bunch of country mice
up there?

We'd like it very much.

to capture this one, Joseph.

Think of Atlas.

Call the warrior king. I got you,
Lieutenant. I got you. I got you.

I got you. Ready?

or the complaint.

Yeah, well, hip, hip, freaking hooray.

Guess this is what they mean by a
skeleton creep.

Geez, I always wondered about that.

I don't want to be enemies.

Look, I got a style, you understand?

I get cut off from my instincts, I'm
taking a shortcut to death. I wish I had

your instincts, but you can't turn them
into the law, Norm.

You know that.

Yeah, well, at least I got the creep off
the streets for a while, huh?

It's another conversation.

favor, one of you? Yeah, sure. I was
such a sport, letting people go to those

Olympics. One of you do a street call
for me on your way home?

Geez, I don't know, Sarge.

Shouldn't that be one of the uniforms
dispatch?

I know that. I told you, I'm
shorthanded. He's busting my stones,

I'll take the call. No, I'll take it.
It's a repeat domestic.

Well, to be technical, there ought to be
two cops.

Come on.

I'll show you some instinct.

See you later, Stan.

Last man at the Alamo.

When I first defended him, he was a
Cisco kid.

Complete with pearl -handled pistols.
Cat pistols.

Then I represented him as Cochise.

The Indian?

You know about Cochise?

You don't know what I know. Did he have
arrows?

War paint, bare -chested feathers.

Crazy. The world's gone crazy.

Well, I think that to do the work you
do, you must be very smart and very

She is.

I want you to meet my wife, Joyce.

Mr. Furillo?

Nice to meet you.

Hi, Charlie.

Here's my girl.

Oh, see, that's a pretty red dress
you've got, huh?

After six events, the score stands even
at three to three.

The deciding event will be decided
before.

Will the contestants for this event
please take your position?

How you doing, Len?

Pretty good. What do you mean, pretty
good? That's an ex -middle linebacker

there. These guys import the genuine
article.

Look, the doc part is better. Docs?

The doc part?

I had a shrimp pizza.

Sometimes I get a bad reaction from
shellfish.

Things are pretty good.

All right.

Now we're going to have to suck it up.

We're going to break this tie. We have
to hone ourselves into an oriental -like

concentration to the task at hand. We
are no longer individuals.

We belong to that great chain of being.

We are the rope. Put your hands right
here. Put your hands. We are the rope.

rope is life.

We are the rope. The rope is life.

Still an apartment.

Joe's got a really nice place. Frank,
you've seen it.

We've redone the inside and we've added
a deck.

Sounds terrific. I read the papers about
your commission.

You could be the next chief of police.

Oh, I'm not counting on it.

Ah, he's too modest, Pop. The TV news.
The TV news says that he should have the

job. Frank, have you seen Joe's new
office building yet?

He was telling me about it. Oh, you
ought to see it.

Oh, it's really something to be proud
of.

Sophie's so good with them.

Do you like children?

Very much.

Mrs. Furlow, I'm not able to have
children.

Frank and I have talked about adopting.
We've talked about all kinds of things.

But the reality is we can't have a
family the way we'd like to.

The things I said, what I did.

I feel so foolish.

All I want for Frank is that he be
happy.

So do I.

This old kitchen.

Next time you come, Frank, all new.

Dishwasher, microwave oven, what they
call a touch -top stove.

All new.

Just decided?

That's right.

Your father wanted to do it years ago,
but I've hung on to a lot of silly old

opinions.

But no more, Frank. No more silly old
opinions.

I mean it this time.

I'm glad, Mama.

Yeah. You get old and stupid ideas get
fixed in your head like a curtain that

hangs in front of what you really feel.

No more, Frank.

Next time you come, all new. I promise.

What's going on?

He climbed out.

The landlord said if he didn't get a job
by five, we have to move.

He's up. Hey, policeman.

He wants to throw me out of Pfeiffer
Club. I'm not moving from here.

Look at this idiot. I should let him
jump.

You should have pity.

Have pity, huh?

The one I'm doing going to offer him the
super job at my other building, 423.

My manager got stabbed.

They tell you to own property, huh?

I think this is a fair arrangement Mr.

Garcia's making.

Look, I'm good with my hands. He knows
that.

I fixed his stoop before.

You should look for work. Plus this,
too.

I want it with the back rent.

I'm going to try.

Hey, Lieutenant, case closed. Now, let's
not have our birthdays. I'm just

sketching this out. It's kind of a
budget you can aim for.

Thank you.

You see?

My luck does change.

Hey, pal.

You know, I used to ask my priest.

We'd cross ourselves before the big
game. I'd say, Father, is that going to

us win? And he'd say, It will if you
block your man.

You understand what I'm saying here,
huh? You got to help yourself.

You got to hold up your end. Otherwise,
that's going to be our lady of eviction.

That's right. Good for you.

I understand.

Of course, I don't understand how you
expect to turn a buck, being how you're

keeping this thing a state secret.

What do you mean?

Did you ever hear of advertising?

Get a little word of mouth going. Let
the people know the freaking thing is up

here. Hey, Merry Christmas, kid.

I hope you get a full one.

That made sense.

What you said to him?

That guy's a jerk.

He's sitting on top of a nice buck.

Here, look at this.

Religious vision.

There's a religious vision upstairs. The
fourth floor, apartment 407.

Contributions voluntary.

Religious vision. Go on up and see the
holy vision, huh?

Upstairs, a holy vision. Right upstairs
here, ma 'am. Go see the holy vision. Go

on, take it in. Check it out, huh?

Okay, I'll see you later. Merry
Christmas.

Holy vision upstairs.

The doc said everything's okay. The doc
said I could go out.

I'm fine.

Robin, could we please get married?

What do you mean? I mean, I thought we
settled that. I know we're getting

married. I mean, can we get married
right away?

I just want all of us to know that we're
in this together and that we love each

other.

And I want the baby to know that, too.

That's the sweetest thing.

I was so afraid we were going to lose
it.

We're not. It's not going to happen.

So, can we get married?

When? Tonight.

You don't want friends and stuff?

No.

We're only going to do this once.

All right, how about in two weeks?

Two weeks from today?

I'm available.

That's it. That's final.

Tonight we decorate the trees.

Pop?

There's some kind of a bird in this
wood.

It could be a widget.

A golden eye.

Maybe even a little cinnamon wing teal.
It's important to know because you've

got to commit to it.

You make a mistake at the first, there's
no way to ever make it right.

We're getting ready to leave.

Glad you came.

Your mother misses you.

Joe wants to bring Mama over to visit
us. I'd like it very much if you came

along. Oh, no, no.

You show her a good time. I wouldn't
know what to do up in the big city.

I guess I'll see you next time.

When you see Fay and the boy, give him
my love.

Joey.

We will.

Merry Christmas. Thanks for everything.

Frank, don't be a stranger, huh?

I won't be, I promise. And bring the
kid. I'd like to see him. I will.

It was good to come home. Don't worry
about the old man.

He's rough, but I'll work on him. He'll
come around.

Frank, she's a great gal.

She really is.

Don't leave now. Stay for the weekend.

There's lots of room in our place.

Oh, thank you.

We've already paid for the cabin up at
the lake.

We'll come back soon. Okay?

All right.

We didn't say goodbye.

I love you, Papa.

Bye, Papa.

Good luck to you, son.

For five years, I've been afraid I'd
wind up standing at my father's grave

thinking about all the things I wanted
to say to him and never did.

Thanks for coming with me.
