Hello, I'm calling from the trip.

I'd like to confirm a call. You know,
I'm out for two hours. How much money

involved? Was it over a thousand
dollars?

Was it over ten thousand dollars?

Quentin, are you nuts? You almost ran me
over. Sorry, Rossi, I got a deadline.

You know how it goes.

I owe you one.

Care to car call, huh?

Yep. 213 -652 -85.

Moonlight protests went off on schedule
this evening as some 500 demonstrators

marched peacefully at the site of
California's newest nuclear power plant,

period.

Despite a threat by the Sheriff's
Department of mass arrests, the

vowed to spend the night, period.

Be that last sentence back there, will
you, Linda?

Yeah, that's it. Sorry to cut you so
close to the deadline. Bye.

The Milt Bundy duo is going to take a
short pause for the cause. Why don't you

all order up another drink, and they'll
be right back after dark.

You really sound great, Cliff.

Thanks. Just as good as ever.

How far back you going?

Well, a buddy of mine turned me on to
some of your old sides in high school.

Is that right?

Yeah. Last I heard, you're in Europe.

Well, I came back about a year ago and
Say I'm thirsty let's go to get a taste

of the bar, okay You play yeah a little
face.

I mean strictly amateur.

Well, then you know how difficult it is
But one of those in the back of a Pinto

I've been there.

Hey, this one's on me. You got it

Yeah Lou we

got it we think we have it Is Banks
spending the night in the clinic?

No, he's here at the motel with me.

We had to play him like he's an
outpatient.

We're going to make another run at the
clinic tomorrow.

So have they discovered a cure for
cancer?

Oh, yes.

The cure for cancer is sugar pills.
Fifty bucks a pop.

What do you think is sugar?

Yeah, we're pretty sure it's sugar.
That's what I called about. Well, get

analyzed. We're positive the local labs
are tied into the clinic. No, we're not.

We'll feel better if it's done in a Los
Angeles lab.

Do you want to get on the phone?

You're doing fine.

Since we're both tied up in Desert
Springs for one more day, we think we

to send a copy kit out here to run the
pills back to town.

Okay, you're in the same hotel?

Room 16.

I'll get somebody down there tonight.

We'll be here.

Well, we've got enough time to go out
and get some dinner before the copy kit

arrives. Okay.

You want to go? Let's go.

Wait a minute.

You're whipped, aren't you?

I'm a little tired, but I can keep you
company.

No, no.

I'll just run down to that little
Chinese joint down the road, bring back

Mushu pork.

And come proud chicken.

And no MSG for you, right?

Well, doesn't sound like a very exciting
evening, does it?

Tell you what.

Tell them to put MSG in mine, too.

Live it up.

So how'd you end up here, anyway?

Well, the old lady got homesick. Missed
the states.

Kids like the beach.

Besides, they got good schools here.

Yeah. You're still big in Europe, right?

I made a living.

This is a steady gig, man.

And Johnny Alpert gets me studio work
from time to time. Is he still playing

drums? Some, I guess. Now he's a
recording engineer.

Yeah, I remember when you guys played
together in the 50s with the Sonny

Quartet. Whoa.

Ancient musical history.

Are you kidding? You guys made history.

Ron Bacala on alto, Sonny on piano.

Yeah.

I have the album you guys made live at
Alcatraz for the prisoners.

You're kidding.

You mean Jazz on the Rock?

I don't even have a copy of that myself.

I don't think you guys ever played
better.

Well, I gotta tell you.

We really wanted to play good for those
guys.

You know, I can make a tape of it for
you.

Oh, that'd be great. I'd really
appreciate it.

So, what happened to the rest of the
guys?

Yeah, you know.

Haven't heard from them in years.

How come you broke up?

Times change.

Hey, Cliff.

I hate to break this up, but that
horrible moment has come.

Oh, yeah.

Gotta go.

Do me a favor.

What?

I play solo.

Don't applaud so loud.

The piano player's starting to notice,
and I don't want to showboat myself out

of a gig.

I hear you.

The chief administrator of the clinic
denied any knowledge of the pills being

medically working.

The man turned pale. We're talking flop
sweat.

Don't you think denied is a pitiful
understatement? No, I don't. I'll give

nervously denied.

How about visibly shaken?

Apparently. Apparently shaken denied.
You're killing him. You're killing him.

I can't ride with people looking over
both my shoulders.

How you guys doing?

We're heading for home with this.

I know you like a day to cool off,
especially when you've been out of town,

we've got this tip and I sure would like
to run with it as soon as you're

through. Great.

What is it?

There appears to be a real scam among
some of the county supervisors, running

lot of personal expenditures through
official accounts.

Some of it is fairly petty.

But I hear that Supervisor Garbers is
acting like he's a kid in a toy store.

Sounds like he's worth looking into.

Great. Charlie, could I talk to you for
a minute?

Yeah. Any offer? Oh, yeah.

You're going to leave the last graph to
me.

Don't worry. The last graph is writer
-proof.

I think there's a garbage story going
on.

A last -minute pass. Who is this?

A guy holding a bass fiddle in a jail
cell.

That's Cliff Richardson.

You know who these guys are?

I don't even know who Cliff Richardson
is.

It's the Sonny Goodwin Quartet, 1955.

I met this guy, Cliff, the bass player,
last night. Yeah? So? He's playing in a

club down the coast, but he just came
back to the States.

What makes an expatriate come home, and
why?

Beats me.

I think there's a good little story
here. Very little.

Come on, Lou.

This modern jazz?

Yeah. Well, it was 25 years ago.

I don't like modern jazz.

You haven't even heard this record. How
do you know you don't like it?

Look, this has one of the classic
versions of Summertime.

Summertime? Yeah.

Yeah, I remember that. The McGuire
sisters.

Boy, they could really sing.

Oh, Dorothy, Phyllis.

What was your name?

Patty.

Maxine. Grumpy.

So, can I move along on a story?

So.

No.

Hey, we sounded all right.

Man, that Rick sure had some great
shots.

Oh, yeah. Whatever happened to him?

All I know is he did some time.

I lost track of him.

When? When was he in jail?

Well, back when they thought the best
thing for a junkie was a stiff jail

You know, I think I'm going to do a
piece on you guys.

Really? Some old has -been jazz men.
Hey, my editor's crazy about the idea of

article on jazz.

I just have to find the rest of the
group.

Well, I can give you a line on Sonny.
Oh, yeah?

Um, some stuff came in last week.

And why he sent it to me, I don't know.

Why, aren't you guys still friendly?

Ah, here it is.

A demo tape and a promo sheet.

Sonny's still playing, huh?

No, he's singing. Pop stuff.

He's doing a club act in Vegas right
now.

Geez, that's hard to believe. Sonny
Goodwin sings.

See any good?

Not too bad for an old piano player.

There's got to be a reason why a great
group like this breaks up. I talked to

the music editor, but his idea of jazz
is Dixieland. What's the reason any

breaks up? Money? Personality
difference?

One guy thinks he's better than the
rest? Maybe they just didn't like each

other. Yeah, I'd really like to track
them down and talk to them. Get them

together again. You mean a reunion?

Yeah. Sonny Goodwin Quartet, one more
time. Now, that's something I'd really

like to see.

Too bad it doesn't interest your editor.

I was just thinking out loud a little.

You know what occurred to me? There's a
totally different angle here.

The reason behind the breakup, the
nostalgia of getting them back together

again.

Boring.

Can I buy you a drink, Billy? I'm going
into McKellar's. No, thanks. I'll take a

rain check. Ted's taking me to the
movies.

Say, you're going to Las Vegas on
assignment?

A piece on small manufacturing firms
relocating their assembly plants.

Oh, boy, I don't envy you that. Slepting
around Vegas in industrial parks in 110

degree heat? No, it's not my idea of a
great time either. Plus, I've got to be

back Thursday to cover the broker's
luncheon. You know that favor I owe you

helping me out on the SEC story? I'm
going to pay you back.

Well, our information tells us that
supervisors buy a lot of things for

own personal use, but charging it to the
county, there's a lot of that going on.

Who did we nail a couple of years ago
doing the same thing?

That state senator who was building the
deck on his house and charging it to the

state. He was an assemblyman and it was
a hot tub.

When are you guys going to get started
on this?

We're already started.

All this old warhorse needs is a night
in his own stall and he's raring to go.

Am I right, Gary?

Lou, you look like you could use the
refill.

No, I'm fine.

What's going on here?

What do you mean?

little credit.

I've been watching that poker face long
enough to know when something's going

on. He gets that absolutely innocent
look.

What innocent look? What are you
talking? Are you talking about me?

Yeah, I'm talking about you, Garrett.

Something's going on here. What is it?

Okay.

I've been telling Charlie.

Eleanor's been getting on me for months
to chuck it in.

I've decided to retire.

It's time.

Hey, Joker.

I was going to tell you later. I didn't
want to put a damper on your happy hour.

What damper?

Well, now we've got something to
celebrate.

I finally get a story to myself.

No more sharing a byline.

I mean, I've been carrying this guy for
years.

Now I get to unload the extra baggage
and fly solo.

We'll continue in a moment here on A &E.

Oh, I feel like I could melt.

Into heaven I'm hurled.

I know how Columbus felt.

Finding.

Another world.

Kiss me once and then once more. Sonny
isn't playing piano anymore?

That ties him down too much.

All he likes to see is a single girl.

What a break for

heaven's sake.

How long has this been good?

He's got an idea for an article on you.

Well, not just on you. It would be about
the Sonny Goodwin Quartet.

Ooh.

Man, you're going way back now.

I know, but human interest, nostalgia.

What happened? Why'd the group break up?
What are they doing today?

I wish I knew. I haven't seen any of
them in years.

Well, you know Johnny, I was working in
L .A., and I found Cliff Richardson

playing a club in Pacific Shores.

Cliff, I thought he was still in Europe
someplace.

Well, he's back.

I spoke to both of them, and they'd
really like to get together with you.

I bet they would.

It'd be a kick to see them again.

Well, I was thinking that if you were to
do a reunion concert, and maybe tape it

for a live album. Wait a minute.

What's this going to do for Sonny? I
can't see how he makes out.

Come on, Ray.

I would dig doing it, man.

Have you seen Brick?

Not yet.

Who's Brick?

Ron Burkell. He's our alto man.

You seen him? You have any idea where he
is?

No. But when I find him, will you play?

You get picked.

You got me.

Sorry, I got away as soon as I could.
Oh, good.

I was just telling Mr. Hume that I
realize you take a certain pride in the

that your reporters have their ears to
the ground for whatever goes on in this

city. And tips should not be coming from
the eighth floor, although I have the

better view.

Oh, please.

What is it that you're driving at, Mrs.
Pinchot? I have something for you.

A certain woman with whom I'm acquainted
is a consultant for interior

innovations.

You mean an interior decorator out
there?

Yes. Much of their business comes from
referrals, and a good number of their

clients are local government officials.

Uh -huh.

I gather she doesn't deal directly with
the billing, but has had occasion to be

in the office and see certain files.

That's interesting.

I thought it would be.

There is a distinct possibility.

that public funds may be furnishing the
home of a particular supervisor.

His name is Garbers.

How did you know that?

One of our people had his ear to the
ground and picked it up.

It was something I heard.

We already have one of our reporters,
Jed Crosley, looking into Garbers'

expense account.

Oh.

Well, I'm very happy to hear the Tribune
is right on top of this. When you say

Crosley, you mean Crosley and Banks?

Gary Banks is retiring.

I really thought I had something for
you.

Mrs. Pinson, this could be very
valuable.

Well, we'll follow up on your source.

Well, the lady's name is Nancy Baines.

She is with Interior Innovations. Now, I
have assured Mrs. Baines that the paper

will handle the information discreetly,
and her name will not appear.

She is a concerned taxpayer, but on the
other hand, she still has a career

to pursue, and in her business, turning
in one's clients is frowned upon.

Mm -hmm. Well, Miguel.

What?

I'll call her right away.

Don't. Mrs. Pinchon says she may be a
little nervous, so take it easy.

The lady doesn't want you to call her at
her office. It's too risky. This is her

home number. We don't have an address.

Well, we need this as soon as possible.

I know. I just talked to my contacts at
the county, and they said he thinks the

DA's already on to her. Well, if the
DA's there, can our friends at the Times

far behind?

Luke, do you remember that quartet we
were talking about? You were talking

about. You won't let me forget.

Well, I found three out of four, and
they want to do a reunion concert.

If I locate the last guy and they get
together, will you buy it? I'm still on

that attack.

Sonny Goodwin.

They faltered in the 50s. Too bad. Too
great.

Yeah. I mean, why did they split up?
Were they out of sync with the times?

I think so. They were good.

I remember when they were at the
interlude on Sunset, it was standing

You saw them live? Oh, yeah. It was a
regular.

Kidding. I used to go there.

See? You know, that place has been gone.

What must be 50 years?

1964 was the year I came to L .A. Did it
ever occur to you guys that all these

jazz joints might have fallen because no
one is interested?

I didn't know you guys were jazz fans.
Oh, yeah.

Fact is, I used to study clarinet. Is
that right? I used to play bass. No

kidding. I played trumpet in a jazz band
in college. You're kidding.

Why don't all you cats bring your
instruments in and we'll jam after that

Solid.

Hey, Adam.

What's the first name of that Remington
gal who works at the highway patrol and

you can help Gary?

Um, Mary?

No.

Marilyn.

Marcy.

Marge! Thanks.

Officer Remington, please.

Marge?

Uh, this is Jed Crosley.

Gary Bank's partner.

Oh, he's fine.

Listen, Gary said you'd probably be able
to help me with this.

Well, I have a name with an unlisted
phone, and I need an address.

Could you get that for me?

It's basically a big band catalog, but
there's some real collector's items in

it. Look at all that, Ellie.

Wow, Stan and Kent in this modern world
city of glass. Let me know when you get

to June Christie.

They got any Zeus stems?

Yes? Mrs. Baines?

Yes, what is it? I'm Jed Crosley of the
Los Angeles Tribune.

I understand you have some information
about Supervisor Garbers.

I have no idea what you're talking
about.

If this is a bad time, we can make an
appointment. What would be convenient?

You've made some kind of mistake.

I don't think we should postpone this. I
know you know what I'm talking about.

No, I don't.

I told you you're making a mistake.

Are you the manager?

That's right. Can I help you?

Oh, I'm looking for a Ron Buckell.

That's me. What can I do for you?

My name is Joe Ross. I'm the Los Angeles
Tribune.

Oh, yeah?

So, what brings you up here?

You did?

I just wanted to meet the best alto sax
player I ever heard.

Oh, yeah?

Hey, man, what do you want me to do?
Okay a check for you or something?

It's just good to meet you.

Hey, how'd you find me?

Well, a friend of mine at Tempo Magazine
let me look at the mailing list. I

figured you'd keep up your subscription.

I was real surprised to find you're
living all the way up here.

Real clever.

Did it ever occur to you that I might
live all the way up here to avoid people

digging up the path?

What a drag.

I'm a fan, that's all. Just another jazz
lover.

Yeah.

Let me tell you something.

It doesn't always love you back.

For 12 years, I was either strung out or
in the slant. Now you come around

talking about old times?

Man, I don't need any stroll down memory
lane.

Listen, I'm really sorry what happened
to you.

Yeah, look, I've been straight since 66.

If you don't think this is a straight
life, you don't know the meaning of the

word.

Look, I just came here to tell you I
talked with Sonny.

Good one? Yeah.

And he and Cliff and Johnny, they want
to get together and they really want to

see you again.

Man, you gotta be kidding.

The smartest thing we ever did was break
up.

Wasn't any love lost there, let me tell
you.

But you guys sounded so great.

Yeah. You know, a lot of people would
like to hear you again. If you'd play a

club date, I'm telling you, you guys
would pack the place.

Look, once and for all, I don't play
anymore.

Ask Sonny, he'll tell you. I burned out.

That's all there is to it.

Oh.

Here. I almost forgot.

I made it up for you so you can keep it
if you want.

Sorry I bothered you.

How's it going in the garbage store?

Oh, it's coming. I got a couple more
leaks to check out. What happened to the

name I gave you?

Uh, that didn't pan out. I guess she
changed her mind.

Did you call her? Talk to her?

Well, I tried to. The line was busy for
hours, so I found out her address and

went to see her.

You did what?

She didn't want that.

Look, I knew the DA was onto the scam,
and maybe the times.

And I knew I didn't have hours to sit
around waiting to get through.

So instead you went there and scared her
off. You blew the best contact we had.

Nice going, Jed.

will continue in a moment here on A &E.

Well, I think that's about all,
gentlemen.

Good. Thank you.

By the way, I noticed the opposition has
gotten a beat on us in our

investigation of the garbage matter.

I noticed that too.

Well, since it appears we've lost the
early edge on the story, perhaps you can

reassure me.

By telling me that what our
investigation is turning up will make it

worthwhile. Oh, we're, uh, we're hoping
it will.

We're trying to develop some additional
leads.

Well, what about my lead?

The decorator and all that information.

Oh, that was a wonderful lead.

It still is.

It will take time.

Unfortunately, that's not something we
have on himself.

He's got a real proprietary interest in
this story, doesn't he?

Yeah, I noticed.

Frankly, I wish we were doing a little
better on it, too. So do I.

What about Mrs.

Pinchot's lead? Is Crosley on top of
that? Getting a nail down turned out to

trickier than we planned.

Well, maybe Crosley could use a little
help on the story.

Mm -hmm. It's possible.

We'll give him Rosenthal. No, no, no.

Rosenthal doesn't work well in groups.

What about Billy?

What's she doing?

I guess she's helping Crosley on the
Garbers investigation.

Tell me something.

Why don't we keep Roger Thorne around?

A suggestion has been made from on high
that you might benefit from some

assistance.

Yeah, like what?

I'm putting Billy on this with you.

Oh, now wait a minute, Lou. You can use
her in whatever way works best for you.

I'll leave that up to you.

The important thing is to expedite this
story.

I don't have to tell you it's running
late.

You're the boss.

Well, I'm one of them.

I'm just not sure we have a shot at
Brick unless somebody besides me makes a

at him.

Well, if I call him, he's liable to get
uptight.

But if you want me to, I'll give it a
try. Oh, boy, if we can nail Brick, I'm

sure Sonny will come in.

Of course, he'd have to work us into a
schedule.

Yeah, work us into his schedule, just
like the old days.

I've got some notes on a sidebar. You
want to discuss it?

Sidebar? By what?

The system that fails.

The need for safeguards and county
government bookkeeping.

Give me what you got. I'll start working
it up.

Well, I thought I'd do it.

No, it'll fit in nicely with what I have
already.

I've been thinking.

Now, if we could somehow get a hold of
his purchase order numbers, we'd really

be set.

Oh, you figured that out?

Well, it's probably coded.

I've been checking, and county
purchasing rents computer time from a

company on a timeshare basis.

No, they don't. They have their own
computers.

I told you I just checked.

And they've been using this company for
the last three months as a supplement.

We could get to Garber's records if we
had the code.

Why don't we just call up Garber's and
ask him for it?

I'll check on the computer angle.

Raquel. Joe Rossi again.

Talked to you the other day?

Yeah, I remember.

Yeah, uh... I was just wondering if you
had a chance to listen to that tape I

left with you.

Yeah, I did.

Pretty good, huh?

The recordings sound a little tubby.

Well, I'll let you talk to the engineer.

Hey, Brick.

Hey, John, is that you?

Yeah. Talk about voices from the past.

Man, I hear you still got the greatest
chops in town.

Oh, yeah.

Right over in the meat department.

Frosty, what are you working on?

The jazz story. Oh, that reunion thing
you're putting together?

Yep. Are you planning on writing the
story yourself?

Sure.

I hate to break this to you, but no,
you're not.

What? Hey, I'm the one who's making this
happen.

That's precisely the reason you're not
the person to report it. Don't worry,

we'll give a good play. I've got
something else for you. Who's going to

it? The music editor.

Oh, terrific.

More research?

I got the interview with Mrs. Baines.

Oh, really? How?

Oh, I wrote her a note saying whenever
you're ready.

That's all it took?

Well, I think she really went for the
designer's stationery.

It cost me 12 bucks, but it's worth it
even if I never use it again.

Whatever works.

Let's start writing this now.

Let's hold off for just a little while.

Now, if we can come up with that charge
number you mentioned, then we'd have

something hard. Let me go after it.

No, I'll do that.

Just stick with the sidebar.

Can I see what you've written so far?

Well, it's mostly up here.

Billy, can I talk to you for a minute?

Sure, what about?

The garbage story. We haven't seen
anything yet.

What's the matter? Can't you two get
organized?

Oh, you know me, old lady bones.

What are you saying?

I don't know. I'm doing all I can. Jed
just doesn't seem to want to wrap it up

and turn it in.

Have you got some sort of a block?

Has he written anything?

I don't think so.

Well, hang in there.

Listen, you better tell Lou if he wants
this piece by the sound of the tune,

he's not going to get it.

I can take out this partition.

It's just drywall behind it, huh? We
open up the whole back room, maybe seat

another hundred or so people, huh? And
over in the corner, a service bar to

care of the overflow.

So we can accommodate, what, 300
customers?

Yeah, more if we squeeze a little.

Sounds great to me. Yeah.

Listen, guys, I'm going to need a bond
from you to cover the door.

What? In case it doesn't go over.

Hey, I'm not going to take a bath on
this if nobody shows.

Now, how much of a bond?

One set of 300 times 10 ahead make a 3k
$3 ,000 yeah,

I think that's fair Hey Joe, I won't be
putting out that much easy $3 ,000

that's about all I have in the bank Hey
check it out from my standpoint, huh?

Look Joe, I'll spit it with you.

I Wish I could do better man, okay I
guess we're in business.

All right.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, my. Look at that.

Would you?

Look at that. Would you believe
yourself? Look at that. That's

Lou Grant will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

Thanks, partner.

You think the guy's in mind if I took
some candidates?

Mind? Are you kidding? I love it.

Hey, Johnny.

How you feeling, man?

Good to see you. Yeah. How's it going?
Good to see you.

You're looking good, Anita.

It's all there. Must be.

Love it.

How's Fran?

Great. Just fine.

You know, Bobby's in college.

Little Bobby?

Incredible. Is Fran coming by? She
couldn't get off work, but she'll be

tonight. Oh, good.

It'll be nice seeing her again.

Yeah, she's always talking about having
you two over for dinner sometime.

How about Monday? I'm off on Monday.

No, that's racquetball. How about
Sunday?

Sunday's okay if we don't have to go to
her mother's.

Do you believe this? Look what happens
to old musicians.

Domesticated. I love it.

Got the best, now where's the rest?

One, two, three, four.

Hey, how you doing, man?

Can't complain.

How you doing?

I'm hanging on.

Hey, how you doing?

Everything's cool.

Sonny, check out that box.

Ah, yeah.

Not bad. Nice action, too. I didn't tune
it yesterday.

Sounded just like an old, out -of -tune
mandolin.

Hey, man, why don't you...

Get that thing out and blow some of the
cobwebs out.

Hey, here's our man.

Our hero.

Well, how's everything going?

Okay.

Hey, hey, what's going on?

Uh, is it okay if I take some pictures?

I'm only kidding.

But if you take any shots, leave out a
couple of my chins.

It's Dennis Price. He's with the paper.

Hey, how you feeling, man?

Cliff Richardson.

Sonny Goodwin.

Johnny Albert.

How you doing?

And run, Raquel.

All right, how you doing? The Sonny
Goodwin Quartet.

I always wanted to say that.

Hey,

we have to make a decision here.

I know. If we keep dragging our feet,
this garbage thing is going to be stale

bread. We're not getting anywhere. Two
reporters on this is not the answer.

You're right.

Then we're in agreement.

You pull Crosley and let Billy ride with
you guys.

No. No? What then?

I want to give Crosley some room.

What do you mean?

I mean, pull Billy off and let him try
to do it on his own. Gary Banks was his

safety net, and he's nervous without
him.

If you keep Billy on it, at least you'll
get the story.

And maybe lose a reporter.

I'll stick with Crosley.

Here are my notes.

Some of them may be a little hard to
read, but I wasn't expecting anyone else

have to look at them. Yeah, okay,
thanks.

Good night, Art.

Leaving early?

Might as well. There's nothing else for
me to do since Lou took me off the

Garber story.

But you didn't want to be on that story.

I didn't.

But once I was on it, I was on it.

So I was off it.

Have a nice weekend.

You too.

Boy, am I looking forward to this
concert. Are you going?

I can't. I already made plans to go up
north. Oh, that's too bad.

I know. I'd really like to see them.

Yeah.

Has Crosley turned in anything yet?

Not yet.

I thought he'd have finished by now.
He's gone home. I hope he won't have to

away. Good luck.

Thanks. I'll give him another hour.

I have to find him, Bert.

Hello?

Hello, is this the Gardner's residence?

Yes, it is.

That's right.

Oh, hey, hi. I'm glad I caught you. My
name is Crosley. I'm working on your new

furniture order, and I need a big favor.

Are you calling from the decorators?

Don't I wish.

I'm just one of the guys that does the
paperwork.

Bet it turned out real nice, though.

It's just lovely. I wish you could see
it.

Me too.

The problem is, I'm looking at this
table down here that no one has claimed.

you think it could be part of your
order?

I don't think so. I'm sure we got
everything.

That's too bad. It's a nice -looking
table. I hate to send it back because...

You just have to say the word and give
me your purchase order number and you've

got it. If somebody made a mistake,
that's their problem.

It could be ours.

You said you need a purchase order
number?

Uh, yeah, and I need it right away.

Because, listen, I'm supposed to be out
of here already, so if you could call me

back in five minutes or so and give me
that number, then you'll be doing us

a favor.

It may be upstairs at his desk.

It'll take me a few minutes. Can I call
you back?

Let me give you this number.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment.

Here on A &E.

I'd say you're one pretty safe.

I never doubted it for a second.

It is kind of nice seeing all these
people here.

and accept the music at it. You know, I
had to hand my story over to him because

of some kind of conflict, and then he
doesn't even show up.

Joe!

I think we got a problem back there.

What do you mean? Sounds like your
friends are having a bit of a hassle.

All right, all right, all right. Man,
let me up. I can't believe that you went

ahead and made a record commitment for
this. I didn't.

I just told him if the others all
agreed, we'd have a deal.

Who are you to make a deal?

You still think you're Mr. Music
Business?

You weren't then and you aren't now.

At least somebody's thinking of the
group. Wait a minute. Who's talking

This is one night and that's all I
bargained for.

Just plumbing for a night, eh?

Gotta get right back to Glitter Gulch.

You're gonna ruin it for all of us, man.

I ain't gonna squeeze them sour grapes,
man.

And I'm not gonna stand here and let you
dump on me. Oh, come on, man.

You need this more than I do. Hey.

That's coming on a little heavy. Well,
somebody's got to say it.

It was always you, Sonny. You were
always the problem.

Yeah, yeah. It was always him. And it
was always me. And it was you. And it

you, man.

Hi, guys.

Me? I wasn't the one getting busted.

We must have blown a dozen gigs.

Because you were out getting yourself
wrecked.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, wait a minute.

If we're going to spread the blame
around, I'll take my share.

Because I hated the road.

Excuse me. I know this is kind of family
business. Right.

It was you, Johnny.

It was you on all of us pushing,
pushing, pushing.

And boy, were you a drag.

Maybe I cared more about keeping us
together than all you guys did.

Yeah.

Why was that?

Because I didn't have any of your
talent.

Well, that's enough reminiscing for me.
Come on, guys. Don't do this.

There's a lot of people out there. You
guys have a lot on the line.

Don't walk out on me.

Who's walking out?

Are you?

Not me.

Are you?

Not me.

You? Not me.

Let's go.

Time's gone.

Hey, just like you and me, man, huh?

We always hassle.

But we'll get the food out.

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've
all waited for.

Beachcomber Bob's is proud to welcome
back the Sonny Goodwin Quartet.

knew which one of you guys was with. A
lot of people have that problem.

Hello.

Shipping Crosley.

This is Garber's.

You got it? Great.

Here, let me get it down.

Lou, you're here. I just found out
Garber's charge number.

Can you buy me some time?

I've got to call my contact in the
computer room at County and give him

number so he can confirm all the
furniture purchased by Garbers. What I

from you is to talk the makeup editor
into saving some space for 45 minutes.

Jed, that's terrific.

Well, you know, it would have been nice
if you'd had a little faith in me.

I mean, you should have known I'd come
through.

Of course, it didn't help to take Billy
away when I needed her.

Did a mentally retarded man commit two
murders? The assistant DA tricks him

making a confession on Law & Order
tonight.

Now, a group of brash burglars target a
jet -set party on Police Story, next on

A &E.
