You find missing persons, right?

Who's missing?

Me.

This is big.

I could go to the captain right now. Better still the D .A. I can't remember

anything since I punched out of here last night.

Let's call the Supreme Court. Have you guys got the number?

All right, now we'll talk.

I am in here to kick the junk. A .J., what are you looking for? I'm looking

motive.

We better call the police.

He's got a gun.

Come on.

Come on.

Marty.

Brian, what the hell?

I've got to talk to you.

Hello.

Brian, where have you been? And what's with this monkey suit?

I woke up this morning next to a wreck.

A car.

Want more of this?

I got this.

This? Brian, put that away.

And Marty, I can't remember anything since I punched out of here last night.

Last night?

You haven't been here in three months.

Come on, Marty. I served the fried chicken to the Cub Scout troop

had a toothache, remember?

I've been through root canal since then, Brian.

He just up and left for three months.

I saved your paycheck for you, though.

Maybe you don't need it now.

Three months.

You sit here, okay? I'll get in line.

Don't worry. The cops will know what to do for you.

Do you have any ID? I mean, maybe they'll need it.

Well, how can you drink tequila that comes in a gallon jug?

It's not tequila.

Carrot juice?

Yep.

Alfalfa sprouts?

Yep. What's this?

Ginseng root.

Ginseng? Yeah, there's nothing like a raw root in the morning to start your

off, right?

You are getting into health food? I am getting into health food. Now, hey, hey,

wait a minute.

We're talking about Rick Simon here. Yeah, well, I just had a long talk with

expert, and you tripped in, and I came away convinced that the quality of my

life could just be dramatically improved.

Well, there's no doubt about that, but I've been telling you about nutrition

years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How'd this expert finally convince you?

Well, she's very... Uh -huh. Very... Uh -huh. Healthy.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, she's gonna be working real close with me on this, A .J.

Uh -huh, and I bet the quality of your life is already improving. Hello.

Does she know you smoke?

Hey, come on, I've been quitting, haven't I? No more cigarettes, just the

occasional cigar to kind of bridge the gap.

Bridge the gap. Three years, huh?

It's a long bridge.

You wouldn't like me if I went cold turkey.

I don't like you now.

Hey. You can kill yourself if you want. You're not going to beat me with... Hey.

Hello.

My name's Brian Gatewood. I'm looking for the detectives.

That's us.

You find missing persons, right?

Well, we try.

Who's missing?

Me. Then I just went back to my apartment.

But my key is not on here.

And there's new tenants in my apartment.

They never even heard of me.

They don't get my mail.

All my stuff is gone.

I'm erased.

And this?

There's $20 ,000 in there.

I've never had more than a couple hundred dollars in my savings account.

And this tuxedo, I don't know where it came from.

Or the sports car.

I've always been a dedicated bus rider.

And this?

I never even owned a gun before.

I'm a crate again.

I had a couple of mornings where the night before was a little blurry.

I wish all I had was a bad hangover instead of... Amnesia?

Oh, let's call it amnesia. Have you ever had amnesia before?

I don't remember.

Well, then what about mental conditions in general?

I'm sorry.

I guess you guys would have to think that, wouldn't you?

What have I been doing for three months?

I don't have any idea.

Can you imagine what that feels like?

Okay, now look.

Your family must know what you've been doing.

I just moved out here.

I have a brother.

Cleveland.

We're not too fond of each other.

I haven't talked to him in years.

Look, here's a thousand bucks.

Retainer.

Will you take it?

We're not even sure this money is yours.

Well, that's why I'm paying you to find out.

Okay, look.

I think this is what we ought to do.

We ought to take him back to the police.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Downtown Brown.

Perfect.

Town will know how to handle this.

Town's a good man. You can trust him.

All right.

Hey, hey.

Hey, Town.

What'd you do? Close place, Town? You said special helming. I thought I'd

obliged. Town, you're all right. Thanks.

My pleasure.

Ah, Brian Gatewood, downtown Brown.

It's all right, Brian.

The lieutenant is a friend of ours, and you can trust him.

Yes, you can. You can trust me.

So, you're Brian Gatewood?

Yes, sir. That's me.

Hit the deck!

I'm arresting you, Brian. Let me have that, please.

You set us up! Hey, we're supposed to be... You set us up! Brian, what are you

doing? You betrayed us!

You have a right to have an attorney. How dare you do that? If you can't

your friends, who can you betray? Hey, come on.

Some people don't like cops. Guys, don't do that.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the favor.

We had the gun. How the hell is he going to hurt us? What do you think you're

doing? Wait, wait, wait.

What is it I'm charged with?

I'm charging with the murder of Julia Kessler.

What?

Wait a minute. Julia Kessler?

I never met the woman. Never met the woman. There you go.

I went there to quit smoking.

I'm out of Vega Clinic.

My third session.

That is the very last thing I remember.

I joined up to quit smoking.

A couple of meetings.

I just started MPA.

Medicated positive adjustment.

Patented technique.

Must have worked.

I'm in jail for murder. I don't even want to smoke.

I'd like to gamble and put him on a lie detector.

If the DA believes he doesn't remember, it can't hurt.

Well, I guess my word's about all I got.

I don't even know why you guys believe me.

It's common sense.

You don't kill somebody and then wander around with the gun and the money,

claiming you don't remember.

It's a dumb defense.

The Omega Clinic is the last thing that you remember.

It's the first place we ought to start. They must have some records on you.

We'll go by there tomorrow and start asking some questions.

I think we ought to get the answers first and then ask the questions.

Besides, why wait for morning when...

Answers are just a black bag away.

No, wait a minute. No, you can't use black bag. I'm using black bag.

The public defender shouldn't be hearing this.

By the way, there's still a caretaker at the house, and I believe he has a dog.

Ella, dog's no problem.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Now, I am warning you. I have already called the police.

You really don't need that. Would you mind just maybe... Okay.

I'm a private investigator. I'm working on the Julia Kessler murder.

You're a private investigator.

Yes, I am, as a matter of fact.

Uh -oh. No, my credentials.

Your credentials do not validate your breaking and entering, Mr... Simon.

Simon. Yes, I know.

And you have every right in the world to be upset.

But really, I'm just doing my job.

I mean, I wasn't going to steal anything. I just wanted to get a look at

files on Brian Gatewood and... Well, I understand that he was one of your

patients, Dr. Price.

Oh, we do not discuss our files with anyone, Mr. Simon.

I know. Doctor -patient relationship. See, that's why I...

Hey, look, no harm, no foul.

I'll just be on my way. Another step, and your credentials are going to be

severely damaged. Now, we will just wait for the police. We don't need to wait.

Lieutenant Brown.

Oh, Lieutenant, thank you for getting here so fast.

I heard a noise, and the guard was not at his desk, and I... Cut him.

What are you doing with this?

What? Gun.

We have a lot of drugs here on the premises.

Some of them are very strong, Lieutenant, and there's always the

kind of break -in.

Ever since Julia was murdered, I... Just put the gun away, please.

Thank you, Doctor.

We'll take care of him.

See you, town.

Cups. What?

The cuffs. You can take them off now.

Oh, SOP. Nothing personal.

Town.

Okay. I owe you one.

Now we're even.

All right, now look, town. There is definitely something not right here.

Pistol -packing Dr. Price was Brian Gatewood's personal physician.

And his file is as blank as his memory.

Now, she has got to have something to do with this.

Of course she does. She's acting chief administrator.

That isn't what I meant.

A .J., what are you looking for? Your client murdered Julia Kessler. He was

driving her car. We found love letters that he'd written to her at her place.

Ballistics, matches of bullets in her body to the gun he was carrying.

I'm looking for motive, town.

Well, where did the money come from?

Where did he live?

Was he really at the scene of the crime?

Look, the man took a lie detector test today. He really, truly does not

killing Julia Kessler. I saw the tapes. I don't care if he doesn't remember the

Alamo. What I care about is whether he did it or not.

What in the world?

That's right, Marlowe. I've been stepping out with other pooches behind

back.

Over other pooches would be more like it. What happened to you?

Attack dogs.

Shepherds. One of them bit the ant, it fed him, and the frisbee got lost in a

tree, and it... Well, you know, a guy finishes a tough black

bag job, and there's something inside him that just tells him it's Miller

Oh, sorry. That's the last one.

It's the last.

All I got is carrot juice.

Mm -hmm, mm -hmm.

Oh, listen.

I ran into Brian's personal physician over at the clinic.

Name of Dr. Rita Price.

One taken over for Kessler.

There you go.

Ella sent all this research stuff over on her, so I've been reading up.

Now, it seems that Dr. Price is kind of the whiz kid.

Oh!

You drink this stuff all the time.

Yeah, I like it.

It seems that Dr. Price was the whiz kid at Omega, but she couldn't get the

project off the ground without Kessler's money. And after that, Kessler took

most of the credit and all of the profits.

Betty Crocker.

I beg your pardon?

Betty Crocker. Somebody else does all the cooking, she gets her face on the

Yeah, something like that. What'd you find out?

Man doesn't wear a woman's deodorant.

Oh, well, I've been wondering. No, no, no. You think about this. Now, you're

having a serious affair with somebody. You're going to have some of your

personal items at her place. Not necessarily. I mean, they may have been

at his place, wherever that was. Well, yeah, but you'd think Brian would have

least visited. I couldn't even tell the guy I'd ever been there. They found the

love letters there. Yeah, I know that. I'd just feel a lot better about

everything if I could have found a man's sock with a hole in it under a bed

behind a sofa. You know, something like that.

They just rushed Brian to the hospital.

Was that all they said?

Just that they had brought him here.

I suppose he made himself a necktie out of the mattress.

No, he didn't look that desperate.

No, just your average happy -go -lucky Joe. I'm Ella Carpenter with the County

Office of Defender Services. Gateway is my client.

How is he? He's fine. He's watching television.

Who are you?

I'm his pre -act.

That was me.

Oh.

Don't worry.

It's only hides.

They let you out of the can for hives.

Well, no. I was having a lot of trouble breathing.

I had a bad reaction.

They had to give me adrenaline. All I usually need is cortisone.

Reaction to what?

Legumes. I've been allergic all my life.

You know what's amazing, what you miss in three months? I've missed two space

shuttles, about ten riots.

Are you allergic to beans?

Beans.

Any kind.

Lima. Pinto.

Pork and.

Refried. Peanuts are the worst.

Peanuts or beans?

Mm -hmm.

Why didn't you say something?

We can get you a special diet in jail.

I already told him.

When you're as allergic as I am, you don't forget.

I don't blame him.

It was in the bread, and rich with peanut butter.

See, I would have read the fine print on the label, but they missed it.

Look, when you were at the Omega Clinic, do you remember a doctor named Price?

Rita Price.

Sure. I was in one of her group therapy sessions.

But that's all you remember? I mean, no special attentions or anything?

She was nice to me.

No, not special.

And still no memory of Julia Kessler?

Well, I think now all we got to do is find somebody who saw you and Dr.

together.

Are you looking for something special?

I have a friend who got a car here, a custom job. I'd like to get one just

hers. Julia Kessler?

Oh, Dr. Julia Kessler, yeah. The lady that was murdered.

What? What do you mean murdered? No, wait, we just got back from Mexico. Oh,

police were here to ask about it. I guess she bought the car for the guy

killed her. I sold it to him.

But I don't think I'm supposed to say anything.

No, wait, are you sure?

We're talking about this lady right here.

Yeah.

Yeah, her picture was in the paper yesterday.

Blonde, same hairstyle.

Her lover was Brian somebody, and I guess they already caught him.

Murdered? You saw them in here together?

Yeah, yeah. And I particularly remember them because they paid cash. You know,

it was my first cash sale.

And this guy was real cool about it, like he had blondes buying him new cars

with $100 bills every day.

I'm sorry, I'm very upset. Would you mind if we'll get the car later? Okay.

Why don't you take my card?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Did Towner say why he wanted me to suggest?

Nope. Just left a message on the machine.

Hey, look at it from his point of view.

Brian was getting a pretty sweet ride off Julia Kessler. Wouldn't take much to

make that my point of view. She was buying him clothes, cars, and he was

lapping it up as blasé as you please.

Hey, welcome to Brian Gatewood's house.

Come on down.

Well, we're both just real proud of you, Tal.

How'd you find it?

Your basic detective work.

I was standing there when Gator's former boss walked in to return his wallet to

him. Oh, and you were smart enough to look inside. My, my. I was nothing.

Brand new address.

Plenty of room for all of his old furniture.

Oh, yeah. And we found a number of personal items here that belonged to the

victim.

Uh -huh. Uh -huh. Nice neighborhood, huh? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Conveniently located near all major main squeezes.

In short, only two blocks from where Julia Kessler lived. Yeah, yeah, we

What have you got?

Technical term?

What we refer to in the trade as icing on the cake.

Mm -hmm.

Found it in the trash.

It's a rough draft of the last letter he wrote to her.

May I?

Thank you.

My dear Julia, been a long time.

Oh,

oh. If you won't change your mind, I don't know what I'll do.

But I know you owe me, Julia. You owe me everything.

Well, this, this, oh, that's pretty thin, town. You know what I mean?

Mind if we take a look around?

My proof is your proof.

AJ? What?

Do you remember when we started looking around and we didn't know what we were

looking for?

Well, I found it.

I think that's weird.

No, not particularly.

Well, I do. I think it's weird to have peanut butter in your house when you're

allergic to peanuts. Yes, indeed.

Why would Brian have peanut butter in his house?

For guests.

You would serve peanut butter to your guests. Nobody else would. Well, maybe

Julia Kessler came over here for romantic dinners of peanut butter and

sandwiches by candlelight.

Or maybe this place was set up by somebody who was trying to make it look

Brian lived here.

Yeah, somebody who didn't know he was allergic to peanuts.

Somebody who was trying to frame him?

Easy to say, Dan. Hard to prove.

Yes, but if we don't prove it, he's going to get a one -way tour of the gas

chamber. No return ticket.

That's the best part of it, A .J. We own it.

You remember Sticky Waller, the klepto from Yorba Linda?

Violated parole. Had to go back to the honor farm. We got a great bargain on

this. $150 for the whole shot. And you think about all the use we're going to

get out of it.

Dr. Bryce isn't here.

Rugman. She didn't order any.

How long you been working here, lady?

Two months.

That explains it. We come every three months. Part of the building contract.

One side.

Dicky due to violent his parole.

Dolphin rug cleaning equipment.

We better hurry. She's going to come in any minute.

Not unless she's a very good swimmer.

I laid two feet of that stuff between here and the kitchen.

Hey, Rick. Yo.

Stuff's hardening.

Oh, never mind that.

Look at what I found.

Hello. All right, I just caught...

Kuznovsky said there ain't no rug man.

Kuznovsky? Hey, wait, wait, wait. You mean the super's name is Kuznovsky?

That means it's not 1742 Willard.

1748.

1748? Oh, jeez. Look, I'm sorry, lady. I tell you what. You just consider this a

free ride, okay? Now, that foam out there ought to settle down by sometime

the morning.

Uh, Lennon, I don't think I heard you. What time did you say you left the

store? Came in.

I just need to throw some time in.

You know how this game's going to go.

We dance around for a couple of hours. You play 20 questions.

I play dumb.

Until my main man comes down here with a briefcase full of Latin.

And I waltz out of here in five minutes.

Let me put you a few things, friend. In here, Latin's a dead language. All we

talk is turkey. Right now, that means you, chump.

Maybe we'd better come back when he's in a better mood.

Are you kidding with what we've got in here?

Oh, come on, you'll love it.

Hey, Bizarro, you want to take this meat back to the locker and call maintenance

again?

This is big.

I could go to the captain right now. That is still the D .A. No, let's jump

and go right to the state attorney general.

hell with him let's call the supreme court have you guys got the number what

it about 10 30 back in dc suppose the chief justice is in the rack oh hell

wake him he won't want to read this in the papers and get your feet off my desk

wait a minute town you try and say that you're less than satisfied with the

evidence we brought you you bring me a blonde wig and what looks like a

collection of food for the poor at christmas and you want me to lead a

the d .a be fair town come on put the pieces together why would brian gatewood

have a collection of food in his cupboard that could kill him Okay, but

his place, and the neighbors saw him and Julia Kessler coming and going. They

saw the same thing that the sales lady at the car dealership saw, a blonde

-haired woman.

And I bet they didn't see them together very often.

What makes you bet that?

Because the blonde -haired woman was probably Rita Price in that.

Look, somehow, with that MPG, or whatever she calls that brainwashing

got Brian Gatewood to dance to her tune, then she got him to forget all about

it.

She probably...

Got him his house, changed his address, docked his kitchen for him. All to

create a phony lover for Julia Kessler.

Do you get it?

Oh, come on, town.

The woman was sick and tired of Kessler stealing her thunder.

Treating her like a flunky, taking all the money.

Excuse me, guys, if I find a little hard to believe that Dr.

Price is a zombie lady of 14th Street.

She is an expert in behavior modification.

Brian was her patient, and Brian's behavior has been severely modified.

He remembers going into the clinic. He does not remember coming out.

It's still all too thin.

I'm sorry, but you guys are going to have to come up with something a lot

stronger and a lot cleaner.

What you're going to have to do is figure out the somehow.

And don't look at me. My job is to put him in here, not to get him out. You

got that backwards.

No, what is backwards is that you have a man in there who didn't do it.

Well, what do you want? me to do.

Lieutenant, I thought I'd answered all your questions. What more can I do?

Oh, this has nothing to do with the Kessler case. This is another matter

entirely. You see, I've been out here so very much recently and seen the fine

work that you're doing here.

Well, I thought you just might be able to help someone for us.

Oh, who?

Well, we called ahead. I thought you'd been informed.

Uh -huh.

Well, he's a prisoner, and we need him as a witness in a very important murder

case, and we'd like to get him cleaned up before the court date.

He has a small drug problem.

Well, where is he? Just outside. I'll bring him in.

Dr. Price, this is Randall Patrick.

Pleased to meet you.

Mr. Patrick, I understand you have a small drug problem.

Well, no, actually, I've also had larger ones.

But right now, what I'm really into are the little pills.

You know, the tiny little blue ones.

You got any?

Why is this man in handcuffs?

This is just a police formality.

As a matter of fact, Randall is on work release and doing quite well except for

his little problem.

What we like to do is enroll him in a...

A live -in program for full -time treatment.

And, of course, the county will pick up all the expenses.

Well, what about security?

Oh, I don't think that'll be a problem.

Randall here is not very violent. As a matter of fact, I think your own orders

should be more than sufficient.

Besides, I always lock my door at night.

It's safer that way.

Well, is there anything else you'd like to ask me about him?

Oh. I don't think so. I think we can take it from here.

Fine.

Randall, we're all pulling for you.

Thank you, Chief.

So, Mr.

Patrick, you're on a work release program.

That's right, Doc.

What kind of work do you do?

I'm a butcher.

Now, one of the proven techniques that we use here at Omega is MPA,

medicated positive adjustment.

Now, what that means is that with a regimen of faith, prescription, and

very gentle mood elevators, we put you in the right frame of mind

to change for the better.

Okay.

speaking freely and in sharing freely both our problems and our victories.

So in the coming hours, let's all strive for a little more candor and honesty as

we share with one another. Some are here for smoking, some for drugs.

Some are here for weight problems.

But we all have one thing in common. We have problems and we are trying to face

them. Together. We are all in the same boat.

Mr.

Patrick?

That's a crock, Doc.

I'm the only one in the boat. The rest of you jackals are in the water.

Well, now, that was certainly very honest.

Now, who would like to start?

Mr. Thurmond.

I would like to hear about every single little cigarette we smoked today.

Yeah, me too.

Mr. Patrick.

Yo.

There will be plenty of time for us to hear all about you.

Don't turn on the light, Dr. Price.

Who is that?

What do you want?

Just a fair share.

I recognize that voice. You're that private detective, Simon, right?

Very good.

I figured you might.

Doesn't really matter, does it?

I'm just calling the police.

Go right ahead, and I'll tell them how you posed as Julia Kessler to frame

Gatewood.

I don't even know what you're talking about.

Yes, you do.

Otherwise, you'd already be on the phone to the police.

You made a little mistake, Dr. Price. There is no such thing as the perfect

murder. I have no idea what you're talking about. Would you please get out

here?

I'll let you think about it.

Mr. Price, you've got to come. One of the patients, he's going berserk.

We were five minutes into the session.

It must be a reaction to the medication.

All right, now look, Doc. I am in here to kick the junk, but nobody said

anything about my weeds. I want my weeds.

Here you are.

Look, Nurse Davis simply misunderstood our little...

Arrangement.

Now, I can see you and I are going to have a little talk.

I'll be back in to see you.

Frankly, ma 'am, I don't think that man belongs here. I was checking his

history, and, well, he is unstable.

He has a chronic record of dangerous drug abuse, psychotic episodes, and he's

been put in jail several times for assault.

He was arrested once on a hit -and -run murder and suspected of another.

They charged him with pointing a car right at a man and stepping on the gas.

Yes, but they never proved it.

I don't think you're getting my point.

Yes, I think I just did.

Sorry about the fracas, Doc, but, you know, a guy's got to have his spikes,

right? Don't worry about it, Randall.

You know, I've been doing some thinking, and you're really rather special.

Well, it doesn't take most folks long.

Most of our clients are docile people.

They want us to crack the whip.

They want to follow our rules.

They go to sleep when we tell them.

They get up when we tell them.

They take their drugs when we tell them. You and me, we're the same cat.

We could go far.

Well, that's just what I was thinking.

There was nothing else we could do.

Look, maybe I should go hit on Price again.

Or maybe you could get the word out. There's something wrong with the case

against Brian.

You should have seen my daddy fish for trout.

Always knew when to move the fly.

Always knew when to let it lay.

If she realizes that Rick's faking it.

Both of you knew the plan when you were going into it. You're stuck with it now.

I know, I know that, but she's an awfully smart woman.

So were the trout.

Hello? Mr. Simon, this is Rita Price.

Hello, Dr. Price.

I've been giving your proposition some more thought, and I'm prepared,

just to get you off my back, to offer you a one -time cash settlement.

How much?

$100 ,000.

That's a deal.

And I never see or hear from you again.

Does that mean I don't get to take you to the doctor's dinner dance next week?

Look, I mean it, Simon. This is the end.

Take it or leave it. I'll take it. I want you to meet me at 7 a .m. in the

at Chesapeake and Roscoe.

You know where that is?

Chesapeake and Roscoe?

Well, that's way out in Kearney Mesa.

Why don't we just meet down at the clinic?

Look, I do not want to be seen doing business with you.

And make sure you're alone.

I guess we do it her way.

That's the boonies, man, the flatlands. Well, what else am I going to do? Well,

how am I going to cover you out there? I don't know.

Well, I'll wire you and stand a mile or two down the road.

Okay, well, look, don't worry about it.

Rick's my ace.

He'll be there if I need him.

Piece of cake.

Piece of cake.

Attention, Randy.

Are you relaxed?

That's the word for it, okay, Doc?

I like you, Randy.

I'd like to be your friend.

Ouch. If you'll let me.

Got a lot of friends, Randy?

Uh -uh.

Brothers, sisters?

Nope, just me.

I'm real glad you came here, because I think we can break your drug habit.

And with a little additional treatment, I think we can help you to control your

anger. Would you like that?

Sure, Doc.

What'd you give me?

Oh, same thing we give all our patients, but more.

Because with you, I think we can do more.

That'd be nice, Doc.

But you know, for right now, I'd just like to get up.

And you know something weird?

I can't.

Oh, sure.

You can.

Deep breaths now. You'll feel much better in a minute.

And then there's a little favor you could do for me.

Want to?

A favor for you?

That'd be nice.

Look out, Randall.

For a bumpy ride.

That's my seatbelt.

Ah.

Well, we ought to get out into the country more often. All this peace and

is supposed to be good for your nerves.

Oh, yeah, this little trip's doing wonders for my nerves.

Yeah, I hear someone coming.

It's them coming at you.

Rick with her?

Yeah, he's sitting close enough to be holding hands.

This radio's working.

Why don't you close your eyes, Randy?

Take a little nap.

I was hypnotized and drugged and locked up in that house? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, just knocked open, you see, wouldn't remember, but she'd let you out

once in a while, you know, go buy a car, get a little exercise.

But I didn't kill anybody.

No. It's one thing to erase a person's memory. It's another thing to get them

kill someone for you. All she needed was somebody to satisfy the police.

Just as he thought Randy over here would satisfy us when we investigated the

theft of a car and drugs from Omega and the subsequent hit -and -run death of

AJ. Yeah, she figured my record as a hopped -up, hit -and -run maniac would

enough to hang me.

So what was it that finally got through to you, Rick?

Well, I'll tell you.

If we hadn't been brothers, and if I hadn't listened to A .J. pestering me

those years, we probably wouldn't be sitting here today.

Pestering? Yeah, that's right. Pestering. Moi.

Pestering. I never... Don't talk with your mouth full.
