Tonight's episode, Girl on the Road.

Now,

what did I tell you?

I feel like I'm dreaming. At any minute,
the alarm clock's going to go off.

All these rock stars.

But tell me, where's Randy March?

Don't worry.

His manager owns the place. He'll show.

You know, I'm just going to die when he
walks through that door.

Maybe you better take one of these.

Oh, no, thanks.

I'm high enough on this wine.

Besides, I don't want to miss anything.

Then relax.

Hey, uh... Didn't you say you wanted to
make a phone call?

Oh, yeah. My stupid sister.

Well, you can do it here.

To Chicago?

Ted doesn't care.

Some of the girls even call Europe.

There's a phone in the bedroom upstairs.

Are you sure it's okay?

Jenny, you're in the city of angels, ma
'am. A pretty face can get you anything

you want.

Okay.

Hello. Hi, Linda. It's me.

Jenny?

Thank God. Where are you?

Well, to tell you the truth, I'm in L
.A.

Where? You know, like Hollywood.

Linda, this is the frankiest place.
You'd see if she'd come up for a visit

sometime.

She's in Los Angeles.

Are you crazy?

What are you doing all the way out
there?

How did you get out there?

Look, Linda, I called you because I knew
you'd be worried about me, but I'm

okay. I'm crashing up at this crazy pad
up in Laurel Canyon.

For Pete's sake, Jenny, you're not even
out of high school yet.

What does that have to do with anything?

Are you sure you're all right? You sound
like you're on something.

I'm just feeling fine.

What's wrong with that?

Oh, Jenny.

Why do you keep tearing me up like this?

How are you going to manage out there
all by yourself?

Well, what do you think? I don't have
any friends?

I'll get by.

Oh, no.

You're not with that Karen again, are
you?

Look, I told you a hundred times it's my
life, so just get off my case, all

right?

I'm sorry.

I didn't even know you were here.

Are you all right?

Do you need anything?

She is spaced again. What, are you
kidding?

Hey, welcome to the party.

Oh, man, what do you want this time? I
don't want anything, Ethan. That's the

truth. What's the truth? Not really.

Oh, nothing.

I totally did it wrong, man. I told her
to split. You told her to split.

She's a real bummer, man.

Melinda. Melinda was here.

She still is.

I better call an ambulance.

Stan.

She doesn't need an ambulance.

She's dead.

Morning.

Looks like I picked up from the coffee
shop.

Yes, you... Picked him up, and he picked
up the check, right?

Oh, fat chance.

What are you doing here this early?

Picking your phone messages. You had a
call from a Linda Rawlings.

Linda Rawlings?

Said she was a close friend of yours
from Chicago.

How quickly they forget. Oh, Linda
Lawrence.

Yeah, I used to go out with her before
she got married. What'd she want?

She said her little sister was out here
in Los Angeles.

Ran away from home.

Sounded like she wanted you to talk some
sense into her.

Said she'd call back.

Oh, man.

You know, between this job and studying
for the law exam, I don't have time to

be a social worker.

You are so right, John.

I understand that.

Barbie Jones investigation.

Just have to tell her I'm tied up? It's
impossible.

Could you hold, please?

J .R.? It's your close friend.

Hey.

Linda! J .R.? Did your partner tell you
I called?

Uh, yeah, my partner did tell me that
you called. Something about Jenny

away. What's up?

I'm going out of my mind.

Well, did you hear from her?

She called last night from Los Angeles.

Well, just the fact that she called. J
.R., you don't understand.

Ever since Mom died and Jenny's moved in
with Steve and me, she's just been

getting worse.

Worse in what way?

And last night on the phone, she sounded
like she was spaced out.

That's why I thought if you could talk
to her... What makes you think she'd

listen to me?

Well, she's always liked you.

She always liked the ice cream cones I
used to bring her. Look, why don't you

come out here? That would only make it
worse.

Every time I open my mouth, she rebels.

Look, Linda, I would really like to help
you out. It's just... J .R., there's

something else.

Jenny has this girlfriend, Karen
Webster.

She's 20 going on 40.

And we found out that she's been
arrested a couple of times for

And that's Jenny's best friend.

Well, is Karen out here now?

Yes.

And I think Jenny's staying with her.

You know where she lives?

Is there a place out there called Laurel
Canyon?

A big place called Laurel Canyon, yeah.
Do you have her address?

No.

All right, Linda.

I'll try to see what I can do and get
back to you.

I'll never forget you for this, J .R.

Yeah, okay.

Goodbye.

Jenna Dyer, you are the rock of
Gibraltar.

Well, Mornavie, I have a feeling it just
crumbled.

Good

morning.

I hope you're comfortable.

I wouldn't want anyone with a hit single
to be uncomfortable.

Chasing love!

Chasing love.

That's your career without me, lover.

It was an accident, Ted.

Slipping in the bathtub was an accident.

Hitting someone over the head with a
bronze statue is murder.

I don't even remember hitting her.

We were talking and she kept saying
something about still loving me and

to be my girl again. Go on the road with
me.

Then we started to argue.

She began to cry.

I guess I hit her.

I don't know why.

I kind of dug her, Ted.

She was special.

Someday you'll write a hit song about
her.

Maybe from prison.

Prison?

What, are you kidding?

You wouldn't let anything happen to me,
would you, Dad?

No, no, no.

Just as long as you stay in the top 40.

And I want you to stay off the dope, do
you understand me? Not even an aspirin.

Yeah, no problem.

No problem.

All right.

Let's have some breakfast.

Come on.

Nothing like a day at the pool.

Did you take care of everything?

Nobody ever find her. And you sure no
one saw Melinda at the party, right?

I told you, she came up the back stairs.

She knew she wasn't invited.

Yeah. No one else came into that bedroom
while she was there?

No. I mean, who could have come up
and... Wait a second.

Melinda's red dress.

What about Melinda's red dress?

I think I saw somebody looking at it.

You think?

Man, I told you I was out in space,
but... There was this girl. She was

holding up the dress and looking at
herself in the mirror.

What girl, Randy?

I don't think I ever saw her before.

Fantastic.

maybe she didn't see anything maybe she
did stan i want you to start asking

around i want to find that girl

I understand a girl named Karen Webster
lives here.

Well, that all depends on what you mean
by living, man, by, uh, you know, whose

definition. Well, the grocery clerk down
at the country store says he knows

every pretty girl in Laurel Canyon by
name.

Well, if he says so, I don't know her
myself, but, uh, you can look on the

if you want.

The farm?

Yeah, the back of the house.

You know, the farm man.

Well, the farm.

Hey, thank you very much.

I was wondering if you could tell me if
you know a girl...

Jenny? Jenny Lawrence, right?

You don't remember me, do you?

I'm J .R. Jones. I used to date your
sister.

The one with the ice cream cones.

Right, that's right. One scoop chocolate
and one scoop butter pecan.

Strawberry.

I think you're confusing me with someone
else.

Butter pecan. The crunchier, the better.

I'm not going back to Chicago.

Well, I told your sister I'd just be
wasting my time.

Then why did you bother?

Well, you know, Linda.

Besides, I was a little curious to see
how you turned out.

You know the last time I saw you?

You were playing second base on an all
-boys team.

Well?

What do you think?

No question about it, the guys would
definitely have a hard time keeping

mind on the game.

They are.

I think I'm beginning to remember you.

Do you have any cookies on you?

Do I have any cookies on me?

I have the munchies.

It always happens to me when I smoke
grass.

Uh, no, I don't have any cookies on me,
but I haven't eaten yet. You want to go

out and get something someplace?

I miss all this excitement.

I have a feeling it's all going to be
here when we get back.

Do you like spaghetti?

With a middle name like Romano, what,
are you kidding?

Come on.

I'll show you the best spaghetti place
this side of it is.

So I brought a girlfriend with me last
night, Jenny Lawrence.

I figured you could use some new talent
around here.

She was upstairs in my bedroom, right? I
already told Stan that. She had to call

her sister.

What's bugging you?

Nothing's bugging me. Stan, did you say
anything was bugging me? Not a thing.

What's this about?

I'm curious.

That's all. Can't I be curious in my own
house?

Karen.

Did she say anything happened up there?
Did she see anything?

Well, she saw Randy and he seemed kind
of spaced.

Told her that was not unusual for Randy.

Did she say anything else, Karen?

No.

She was kind of stoned herself and upset
about something with her sister, I

guess.

I think we found the owner of the glass
slipper.

What?

Cinderella.

Look, she was right. Randy was out of it
last night.

But that didn't stop him from noticing a
pretty new face.

That's all he's been talking about. Find
me that girl.

Karen, you think you can help me reach
this Jennifer?

Might.

I will put you at the top of my list.
You will meet...

Every big spender.

Sure.

She's staying at my pad.

Terrific. Bring her around tonight.

We'll have a little dinner party. You
think she'd like that?

Are you kidding?

Great. See you here at seven.

You got it.

See you then.

Maybe Randy was right.

Maybe she didn't see the body.

What do you want to do, Stan? Wait until
you hear the sirens?

I have been waiting three long years for
someone like Randy to come along.

I'm talking about a multi -million
dollar property.

I'm not going to let anything happen to
it now.

I'm ready.

What for?

The lecture my sister told you to give
me.

There isn't going to be a lecture.

Oh, I get it. You're just going to play
it real cool and then just kind of sneak

it in on me when I'm not looking, huh?

Jenny, I'm telling you, I don't... I
told you, my name is Jennifer.

Jennifer.

I don't have a lecture to give you.

Now, if you want to tell me about your
plans, I'll be glad to listen.

My plans, J .R., are to live my own
life.

All right, what does that mean?

Whatever makes me happy.

You know, walking barefoot on the strip,
getting stoned, sitting outside Randy

March's pad until he invites me in.

J .R., haven't you ever felt like just
doing whatever you want to no matter

what? Sure, I used to do it a lot.

Well, what happened?

I got older. I grew up.

I think I'm beginning to sense a message
somewhere.

Oh, come on. You ask the question.

Then I take it back.

Well, thanks for lunch. Oh, wait a
minute. What, are you going to go back

your friends and have a zombie contest,
miss?

Check, please.

What, are you up for something better?

Yeah, I am.

My place.

I know it's a little small, but it's
quaintly cluttered. I knew it.

You know, the only difference between
you and the other guys, J .R., is you

dinner first. Oh, come on, Jennifer.
You're way off base.

And that's what they all say.

Well, why not? You know, the evening's
still young, and I just turned over a

year. You're kidding. What are you
saying? It's your birthday?

You're real quick, J .R.

Come on. Let's go before I change my
mind.

What do you mean you don't know where
she is?

Well, one of the girls started leaving
with some guy.

He's going to give it another half hour,
then call you.

Some guy?

Do you have any idea who he is?

No, he's a newcomer.

Look, why don't we just...

Do it another night.

No, no, we can't.

Can, we've got to find her.

Randy's counting on it.

Okay, here we go.

When you said you had to make a stop
first, you didn't tell me it was going

be the library.

Jennifer, I'm telling you, you got the
wrong idea about me. I got to study for

an exam.

Well, where do you want seats?

Anywhere you find room is.

Terrific.

How about on top of the cheese and
crackers?

The maid didn't show today.

So, where do you keep your breath?

The front yard.

That's what I was afraid of.

Does that make me square?

Rectangle.

You know, what you really need around
here is a keeper.

Oh, come on. It's not that bad.

All right. Maybe just a wife.

But you're lucky you didn't marry my
sister.

How come?

Well, for one thing, she's a lousy cook.
I mean, she's allergic to anything that

doesn't live in a freezer.

For another thing, you'd probably be
selling insurance right now, just like

old Steve.

Come home to a frozen enchilada, fall
asleep watching television, and then

up just in time to sell more insurance.

Isn't good old Steve happy?

He's a puppy dog.

Listen, I've got to run down to the
stationery store, pick up some paper.

don't you make yourself at home?

Hey, can I use your phone? It's a local
call.

If you can find it, help yourself.

Hello? Karen?

Jenny, where are you? I've been calling
all over for you.

You're not going to believe this, but I
ran into my sister's ex -boyfriend.

I mean, his place.

Well, when are you coming home?

Oh, that depends on him.

He's kind of cute.

Hey, what's up?

Jenny, we've been invited to Ted
Richmond's house tonight for dinner.

Randy is dying to meet you.

Randy March is dying to meet me?

That's right. He remembers seeing you in
the bedroom, so get on back here, girl.

All right!

Oh, shoot.

Karen, I can't leave just yet.

Oh, J .R. just stepped out for a few
minutes, and I think I should at least

him I'm splitting.

Get her address.

Jenny, where are you? I mean, what's
your number there?

Now you're starting to sound like my
sister.

It's 555 -555 -4894.

4894. And the address is 376 Ashley
Drive.

376 Ashley Drive.

What did you say his name was?

J .R. Jones.

J .R. Jones.

All right, now just get back here as
soon as you can.

Don't worry, I will.

What's Mother Adjance for?

She's going to be here.

Well, just in case she changes her mind.

And Randy wants to know where she is.

Thanks. J .R., you have been gone
forever.

I know.

Stationery store down the block was
closed.

Well, I hope you got everything you
need.

Yeah, I did.

Paper, pencils, the works.

Sounds like a fun evening.

Uh, Jennifer, I was kind of hoping you
could help me study with my exam.

Uh, J .R.? You know, sort of ask me
questions, help me check the answers,

kind of thing.

I've got something to tell you.

A little bit like a study partner, you
know what I mean? J .R.? Of course, if

you'd just rather watch, that would be
okay, too.

It's not fine because I can't stay.

I just wanted to tell you that I've been
invited to a party and...

Well, I was kind of hoping that we could
have a party of our own

right here.

Oh, J .R.

It's beautiful.

Make a wish. Go on.

Uh -oh.

Looks like it's going to come true.

Oh, sure.

Are you crying?

I'm crying. Are you crazy? Crying's for
kids.

So be a kid.

For a little while longer. Don't rush
it.

Do you have any ice cream? I mean, what
kind of birthday party is it without ice

cream? Chocolate and butter pecan.

favorite fashion, I know, right?

That's right. And you know something
else?

I turned down a date with my first
passion, Randy Marsh, just to be here

you tonight.

You're kidding.

No, it's the truth.

And if my friends in Chicago knew, they
would have me committed.

You really like him that much, huh?

They are.

Do you have any idea how many girls
Randy Marsh could have?

Well, why do you want to be just another
one of them?

Why?

Have you ever seen him? Have you ever
been to one of his concerts?

Look, I like music just as much as the
next guy, but there's a little more to

life than who's number one on the
charts, you know.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

Same for some stupid law exam.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with making
something yourself.

Ah, what's the use?

There won't be anything left for us on
Earth anyway.

What? I'm talking about using up the
world.

Polluting the air and the water.

Well, at least our music isn't
destroying the ecology.

All right, so if you want to change the
world, so change the world, but join it

first.

Oh, don't stick your head in a book. All
right, that's it.

I love a good debate, but it's getting a
little late.

Oh, I can stay here, can't I?

If you like, I'll clean off the couch.

Well, what's wrong with the bed?

Nothing's wrong with the bed. I intend
to sleep in it.

And you want me to sleep on the couch?
All right, I'll sleep on the couch.

J .R., why don't we both sleep in the
bed together?

Jennifer, hi.

J .R., in case you haven't noticed, I've
grown up.

And my sister wasn't much older when you
dated her.

But I was younger, too.

So what you're saying is you just don't
dig me, huh? Oh, Jennifer.

And I was going to blow a chance to be
with Randy March for you.

Wait a second.

Yeah? This is Mr. Anderson at 107.

There's a big box here for you down the
lobby.

For me?

Yeah, well, this is J .R. Jones, isn't
it?

Yeah, what kind of box?

It's kind of big. It looks like a
television set or something.

Didn't you see it when you went
upstairs?

No, I must have missed it.

Well, it's here.

I signed for it when it was delivered.

I would have brought it up, but it's a
bit heavy.

If you want, I'll give you a hand.

All right, I'll be right down. Thank
you.

I'm leaving.

Will you just stay here? I'll be right
back.

Okay.

Mr. Anderson?

Mr. Anderson?

Did you forget

your key?

You're the type that would forget a key.

J .R.

It's all right. It's all right.

Oh, this is all so crazy.

Why would anybody want to kill me?

Well, you'd probably know more about
that than we would.

What do you mean?

Well, Jennifer, what sort of people have
you met since you've been here?

Oh, record people, mostly. I mean,
they're all a little... Crazy, but it's

fun sort of way. I mean, they wouldn't
hurt anybody.

Well, what about boyfriends?

I've gone out a few times, but certainly
never gave any of them reason to kill

me.

Did you give any of them reason to be
jealous?

Rockstars don't get jealous, Betty. They
just get somebody else.

Oh, I see.

Is Karen the only one you told you were
in Jedediah's apartment?

Yes. Well, apparently Karen told
somebody else. Do you know a guy named

Benson?

Yeah, I've heard of him. He works for
Randy March's manager, Ted Richmond.

Well, Karen said that Benson was there
when you called, and she gave him my

address. Did he say why you wanted it?

Not really, but I found out that Benson
lives in Ted Richmond's guest house.

I think I'm going to go talk to him.

Well, what about me?

Jennifer, Jedediah tells me you're a
little short of cash.

Well, I can manage.

I'm sure you could, but wouldn't you
like to pick up a little extra spending

money?

Doing what?

Betty, didn't you tell me the other day
that you had to catch up on a lot of

filing?

Isn't it amazing the way he remembers
those offhand statements?

What do you say, Jennifer?

All right.

As long as it doesn't become a career.

Well, I'm not that far behind.

See you guys later.

Okay, Betty, where do you want me to
start here?

Who's this girl, Mr. Jones?

It's someone named Melinda Horton.

Her body was found up at Culver Creek
yesterday.

Do you know her?

I'm not sure, but she looks awful
familiar.

The coroner said that she had been
killed the night before last.

Well, that was the night of Ted
Richmond's party.

You think what?

She was at the party? Is that why she
looks familiar to you?

Well, it's possible.

Betty, call Lieutenant Biddle.

See what else we can learn about this
Melinda Horton.

No one will ever find her, right?

Why don't you leave her body out in the
strip?

Look, how was I supposed to know that
some hiker would have picked that exact

spot to build this camp?

Mr. Benson, there's a Mr. Jones here to
see you.

What did you do, leave your card?

Did you tell him I was here?

I don't think that makes any difference.

Thanks, Rose.

Stan Benson?

There's a sign on the fence.

It says no trespassing.

Well, there's also one that says, beware
of dog, but I don't hear any barking.

I'm 10, Ben.

What can I do for you?

Mr. Benson, my name is J .R. Jones.

I'm a friend of Jennifer Lawrence.

So? Well, I also work for a private
investigator named Barnaby Jones, which

probably accounts for my suspicious
nature. I think somebody tried to kill

Jennifer last night.

That's too bad.

What does that have to do with me?

Well, according to Karen Webster, you
were the only other one who knew she was

at my place.

Then I take it she never saw him.

No, no, he was wearing something over
his face.

Then you'll have to take my word for it.
It wasn't Stan.

Yeah, well, then why did he want to know
my address?

In case Randy asked for it. But he
didn't.

That's right.

As a matter of fact, after all of our
trouble, Randy shows up with another

chick. He doesn't even remember who
Jennifer was.

Oh, well, so much for my suspicious
nature. Thank you. Oh, by the way, is

your green car parked outside?

My car's blue.

Oh, that's funny. That's funny.

So is the one that the attacker drove
off in last night.

Yeah.

It's for you.

Thank you.

Hello?

Yeah, Barnaby.

You gonna view the body now?

All right, yeah, I'll meet you there.

Coroner's office, yeah.

Bye -bye.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Well?

I've never seen her before.

You sure?

Did you recognize her?

Who is she?

Melinda Horton.

According to Lieutenant Biddle, she used
to be a singer.

But her only claim to fame is that she
used to go with Randy March.

Well, then Ted Richmond must know her.

That's right. He used to manage her.

Mr. Jones, that dress.

What about it?

It wasn't Melinda I recognized in the
paper with that dress.

Was Melinda Horton wearing this when you
found her?

Yes. I'm sending it over to the police
lab now.

Thank you.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Jennifer, do you remember where you saw
that dress last?

Well, I was sort of stoned, and the
answer is just running through my head,

but... Yes.

It was lying on the bed in Ted
Richmond's bedroom the night of that

That means Melinda had to be at the
party sometime before she was murdered.

It also means that Jennifer could place
her there, which is why somebody might

be trying to kill her.

Did you get anything from Benson?

Only that he drives a blue car, Barnaby.
Ted Richmond did most of the talking

for him.

I think it's time we paid another visit
to Richmond.

Let him talk for himself.

Hello? They just left the coroner's
office.

Well? Okay, you were right.

Jenny was with him.

That's what I figured.

Randy, you're about to take a very
active part in your own career.

What do you mean? I mean that you're
about to use your charm to help us get

of Jennifer Lawrence once and for all.

Yes? Good afternoon. Is Mr. Richman in?

No, you just missed him.

Oh, uh, when do you expect him back?

Don't know exactly.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Well, uh, as a matter of fact, there is.

I'm from Cityside Properties, and Mr.

Richman has listed his house with us. I
promised to come over before noon and

give him an appraisal.

He's selling the house?

He didn't... He didn't say anything
about that to me.

Well, it probably just slipped his mind
that since I'm here... I'm afraid you'll

have to wait for Mr. Richmond.

Well, whatever you say.

How about... a week from next

Monday? That long?

Well, I told Mr. Richmond I had a lot of
trouble working him in today.

Well...

All right, but I don't have time to show
you around it's all right Just point

out the direction of the bedrooms and
I'll take it from there Top of the

first door to the right. Thank you

What

happened to your second greatest passion

I just can't get that poor girl Melinda
out of my mind, J .R.

Well, maybe she was just out to have a
good time and enjoy herself.

You mean like me?

You said it.

Well, what am I supposed to do?

Go back to Chicago, finish high school,
and maybe someday, if I'm lucky, become

a housewife?

Become anything you want. You can, you
know.

Not if you walk around stoned all day,
though.

Are you finished, J .R.?

My last word, I promise.

Listen, I'm going to go call Barnaby,
check and see what's happening.

Hiya, pretty face.

Randy! What are you doing here?

I knew if I followed you long enough,
I'd finally get you along.

You followed me?

Well, how else was I supposed to meet
you?

You didn't show at the party last night.

Well, uh, I got tied up.

Oh, well, we'll just have to make up for
wasted time, right? Come on.

Right now?

Yeah, have you ever seen the way they
make photographs for record album

No.

Well, I got a photographer waiting for
me right now up in Franklin Canyon.

It'll be kicks.

Randy, you know that girl on the paper,
Melinda, that one that was murdered?

Yeah, nice kid.

Tough break, you know.

Uh, listen, uh, the photographers, you
know, they're weird. You can't keep them

waiting. You know that red dress they
found her in?

Well, I saw that in your bedroom that
night.

What else did you see?

Oh, nothing. Just you and, uh...
Nothing.

Nothing else.

Honest.

Hey, look, we'll talk about it later,
huh?

Come on, let's go. Let's go. No, well, I
can't leave J .R.

Of course you can.

See? Just take it nice and easy.

Not a word.

Get up slow now.

Smile.

No.

Excuse me. Is your name Jones?

Yes? There's a phone call for you. You
can take it there. Thank you.

Hello? Barnaby, good. Betty told me
you'd still be there. Can you talk?

Yes.

I found something interesting.

Particles of dried blood in Richmond's
bedroom.

How are you doing with Jennifer?

Not too bad. I think I'm beginning to
break through.

Barnaby, can you hold on?

Barnaby, I was wrong. Jennifer just
drove off with somebody in a white

car. Did you see who it was?

No, but I did see that it was a foreign
car.

Uh, excuse me.

A friend of mine went to buy a foreign
sports car.

I remember Mr. Richmond saying that he
had a friend who wanted to sell a white

one. You know who that might be?

I guess he met Randy March.

He's the only one I know who has a white
sports car.

Any idea where we might find Randy? My
friend is leaving town in a couple

He was here earlier.

I think I overheard them say something
about a meeting at some picnic ground.

Do you remember which picnic ground?

I don't know. Franklin Canyon, I think.

You killed her, didn't you?

It was an accident.

I'm sorry about Melinda this.

I didn't even know about Melinda. All I
saw was the red dress.

Doesn't matter now.

Too much at stake.

I can't take the chance.

Jennifer, just take it easy.

I'm Ted Richmond.

I've been wanting to meet you for a long
time.

What are you going to do to me?

Do?

Nothing. Look, we're going to take a
little ride, and we're going to work

something out, that's all.

Come on. No!

Come on, Jeff.

Nice and quiet.

Randy?

I wonder if they're down there. You see
them?

He has a gun.

Yeah, I know it.

I got an idea.

Popcorn? Balloons, mister? Balloons.
I'll take all of them.

That should be enough.

Are you kidding?

You got change coming. Well, you throw
on the hat and we'll read.

Yeah.

Sure. Thanks.

You can have the location, too. It's not
much good anyway.

Yeah.

Get your balloons here. Get your
balloons.

Please let me go. I won't tell anybody,
I promise.

Okay, get your balloons here. Right
here.

Hey, mister, how about a balloon for the
lady, huh?

Hey, mister, how about a balloon? What
do you say?

Why don't you go beat it?

Oh, come on. How about a balloon for the
lady, huh?

I said no balloons.

Drop the gun.

Are you all right? Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

But I think I lost my investment.

Did you see that part of you? I told you
she was a champion.

I noticed you're keeping right up with
her.

Well, I have to enjoy this while I can
because it's back to frozen enchiladas

for me. So you've decided to return
home?

Yeah. I think J .R.'s right.

There is something to be said for
setting a goal for yourself and reaching

Everything else is just kid stuff.

How about some dessert?

Dessert? I couldn't eat another bite.

Well, maybe just one bite of Tortoni.

One bite?

Well, maybe two.
