Original subtitles

Well, let me tell you something.

People who go to see a shrink want that to be their private business.

They bare their souls to me.

And that's not all.

Mary Beth, you can't believe the look in his eyes. What is it you want?

You and Harvey, you had a courtship. You had a heart -shaped bed, for God's

sake. We will use it, Harvey, to make our life better somehow. If you have the

right attitude, you can enjoy sex with almost anyone.

Oh, don't worry.

I'll make you proud.

I buy cheap in nature sounds. I run water in the bathroom. You'll think

in Walden Pond. It could turn out to be a lot of fun.

to you for what promises to be another scorcher as our fall heat wave

Water shortage rules are still in effect, and once again, Con Ed urges us

use our air conditioning during the peak midday hours. Of course, if you're

caught in traffic... Eggs ready yet, Mom?

In a second, sweetheart.

All right, Alice, you ready?

There.

Harv? Yo.

I haven't got all day, you know. Hey, I'm tired of your mouth, young man. This

is your mother here.

I can't get it started, hon.

Is it plugged in? Honey. I'm just checking.

Honey,

I see the problem.

Come here.

Watch her.

You see this little light here?

Yeah. That's time automatic.

You got to put it on manual and reset it.

I'm telling you, kiddo, we got a machine and a half here.

The light is still on, Harv.

Which? The one by the auto -ease timer, Garth. Oh, yeah, I see. Well, maybe you

got to push it twice, huh?

Light's out.

Hey, guys, get ready for the fluffiest eggs you ever had.

Now all the lights are out.

Maybe I should just cook this up the normal way, Harv. Oh, come on, honey,

got to have faith in the machine. Who said progress is easy?

There'll be a couple more seconds.

Maybe you've got to put the timer on and then put your manual, huh?

Oh.

So yesterday, Harv says he's going out to get his Sunday paper. Twenty minutes

later, he comes back home with a brand -new, state -of -the -art microwave

Whoa.

That's some new things you got.

What's the occasion?

None. It's just that now he's working steady, Harv. He likes to surprise me.

This machine is a great deal more advanced than Lieutenant's 15.

It can make a meatloaf in 13 minutes.

I can buy one in two.

How am I supposed to know what to pack for this weekend?

Last week was autumn.

Today's summer.

This is the weekend of the trip, isn't it?

Well, it isn't the trip, Mary Beth. It's just a trip for little John. It's

absolutely nothing special.

Uh -huh.

When are you leaving?

Good afternoon.

Buckle up.

David is crazy about this Stratford Arms case. The Kennedy's up there, the

Rockefeller's up there, the Rockefeller's row five.

When was the last time you took a day off work?

Two months ago. I took in a Yankee doubleheader that walked over.

You know, it sounds nice for a scene.

A little quiet place in the country just the two of you.

Alone, no traffic, no telephones.

Nothing but fresh air to breathe. It sounds nice.

Sounds just as nice to stay home and breathe fresh air conditioning.

Yeah, it's such a romantic.

Just that it's been a long time since I've spent four days with anybody, you

know? I think it's a little like riding a bicycle.

You'll remember how.

Nice, kid! Love the earplugs! Why don't you show me?

It's too hot.

Did you see that?

No, Christine, I missed it.

Please.

Oh, hey, Christine.

Hey, Solomon.

I know, I know. You picked this case because you knew I'd be here. The only

reason. Well, let me tell you something. You're one lucky woman. Come here, come

here. I just picked up a cherry, 59 Nash Rambler, red vinyl seats that fold all

the way down, huh?

Comfort, romance, great shocks.

And I happen to be free tonight.

Oh, Mick, I'm sorry.

I'm busy.

I'm just sick about it.

So what do we have?

Usual stuff. Easy entry. Lock was picked. Alarm system cut.

Doesn't look like they were in any hurry. Yeah, well, they just took small

stuff. You know, CD player, tape deck, stuff like that. Nothing that couldn't

carried. Christine.

You should hear Johnny Mathis in The Rambler.

Mick, you're hyperventilating.

Ladies.

Excuse me. May I help you?

Dr. Saunders, I presume.

That's right.

Where's the PD?

And some microcassette tape recorders that I use to take my sessions with.

Very expensive.

Are you a psychiatrist?

Marriage counselor.

They also managed to take Olga's jewelry.

Olga, is she your wife, sir?

For all intents and purposes.

Is that a yes or a no?

Well, we don't believe in the parchment of marriage.

Our commitment is internal, not external.

I take it that you're married, Detective?

Yes, sir, I am, sir. 17 years, externally as well as internally.

Congratulations.

Olga and I are together 23.

Congratulations.

You have any idea when this burglary might have occurred?

Sometime over the weekend.

We were at our house in the Hamptons.

Anybody know you were out of town, sir?

My patients, I informed them.

My answering service, relatives, friends.

Well, we'll need a list of your patients, doctor, to run through our

and check for criminal records.

Let me understand you.

Because someone sees a therapist, they're automatically a criminal?

Because they knew you were out of town, they're automatically suspects.

But you're welcome to put your friends' names on the list if that would make you

happy.

You're asking me to violate a sacred trust with my patients.

For what?

A stereo?

Some tape recorders?

This is a matter of ethics.

Maybe the doorman will know something.

He's got some attitude considering he's a marriage counselor.

I thought it was refreshing.

He's not even married.

So?

You've got a male gynecologist.

And as the heat wave sizzles into its third day, a special message for those

you sitting comfortably in front of your 8 ,000 BTU window air conditioners from

Mayor Ed.

He says, turn them off and suffer with the rest of us.

Who wants it next?

One buck for the first five minutes, 50 cents every minute thereafter.

You know, Esposito, you just got here. Already you're in business.

Oh, come on. It's the pre -enterprise system. What are you, some kind of

communist? My last partner had class.

So do I.

It's mostly low, but class.

Where is she?

Maybe they got the security code and punched their way in while the doorman

napping. Well, you're moving up in the world.

We got a call on our high -toned burglary. Doctor on Park Avenue.

We know that. We were just there.

Impossible.

Doctor saw it as 1038 Park Avenue. Close, but no cigar.

Dr. Roberts, 1053 Park Avenue.

Hey, if either of them is a dermatologist, maybe you could ask them

me something for a nasty little itch.

so just in case you hadn't noticed, it is hot.

We all know what that means, but just to be sure, Con Ed is reminding us that

prudence is advised during those midday hours.

In other words, get those suckers off!

And besides my telescope, they got my videotape camera, which I use in my

practice. Go away for a weekend. What happens?

You photograph your patients?

I tape them.

Extremely useful in sex therapy.

Picture this, the rambler humming across the Verrazano Narrows, you prone in the

passenger seat, a gallon of great wine at your feet.

I would rather be set on fire.

I was out of town for the weekend.

This has never happened to me before. I feel so violated.

You ready for the worst part?

All my fertility guard's gone.

Fertility guard, doctor?

Whatever works, detective.

You know, I think the Incas were on to something.

Sex is mostly in the mind.

If you have the right attitude, you can enjoy sex with almost anyone.

Listen to this man.

He said almost.

If you'll excuse me, I'd better check my service. It could be an emergency.

We're finished here for the time being, anyway.

If you change your mind about that list of clients, please give us a call.

Oh, no can do.

They demand discretion.

They bear their souls to me.

And that's not all.

Oh, my God.

The videotapes.

They must have taken them, too.

So what do we have?

Another doctor, same neighborhood.

That man is not what I'd call a doctor.

It says doctor on his diploma. It's not a character reference, Mary Beth. I

don't care what the diploma says. The man's a licensed peep in town.

What kind of an emergency could a sex therapist possibly... Never mind.

I'm sorry. I thought it was the perg. When it's hot, a body perspires. Yeah?

Well, I handle a line of stuff that works magic. I'm allergic to toiletries.

it's hypoallergenic. Thank you, Dr. Saunders.

Absolutely confidential. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Burglary 615, Grand Nova. You want it this year or the year before?

How about three names with addresses from our Dr. Saunders?

I'll get you.

I'll go on Tatooine's back.

So much for ethics.

Power.

Influence. Supply.

Demand. The free market knows no favorites.

We'll go back another five years and run it through again.

Yes, sir. Sir, the memory banks. I'm sorry. It's Becky. We're in a rush here.

Good. The tech knows the value of in -depth research.

Becky, give him a big drink. I'm assigned.

And blind luck.

It's all yours. Lieutenant!

We're going to have them all, can't you? We're overloading as it is, Christine.

Yeah, a couple of two -bit burglaries. And three car thefts and narcotics and

two missing parties.

Basil, put this in.

Safety, Carlisle, 53060.

What is that?

What's the matter?

Oh, yeah, this is classic.

You see, the surge suppressor couldn't take the sudden drop in voltage. These

babies are very expensive. They only operate within a certain tolerance, you

understand? Now, it's obvious the backup power failed, and that's why I never

trust these things.

So just as I'm starting to put his name through, the damn thing breaks down.

I want to pick up the whole machine and just heave it through a wall.

Speaking of computers, Chris, I don't know how to tell you this.

Just shut your eyes and say it real fast.

It's the weekend.

What happened?

Computer foul up. Something happened with my credit card. Now, reservations

never confirmed.

Oh.

Oh, hey.

That's all right.

No, it's not all right.

I was really looking forward to getting away.

So was I.

Just the two of us.

Alone. We can be alone in the city.

Not the same.

Could be better.

I wanted to see some greenery.

So I put on the aqua sheets.

Look, I'll stock my place with orange juice, bagels, champagne.

It'll be great, believe me. Chris, we are so wrapped up in our own lives, we

don't have time for each other.

We need a change of scenery.

A place in the country where we can talk.

We talk.

We argue.

We do not.

Look, I'm going to take the day off anyway.

I'll buy a tape in Nature Sounds. I'll run water in the bathtub. You'll think

you're involved in Pond.

Chris, I'm serious.

Go on.

My God, I hope the whole city's not blacked out.

I think it is important for us.

We need to change it.

No fair.

toothbrushes, too. Let me see if I got this straight.

You want me to help you get a court order so you can subpoena the records of

three patients from this Dr. Sanders?

Well, there are extenuating circumstances.

Meaning? The computer is down, sir.

Oh. That sounds like good reason to throw off the civil code.

Didn't you ever hear of doctor -patient confidentiality, privilege

communication, something in that ballpark?

Any idiot can hang out at Shingle and call himself a therapist these days.

You're such an expert on therapy, huh, Cagney?

Well, let me tell you something.

People who go to see a shrink want that to be their private business.

Sir. As far as I am concerned, those doctors' records are off limits. We are

interested in anything but checking for priors, so we don't want any information

we couldn't get off a computer.

What did you do before we had him?

Oh, I forgot Samuel saw a shrink.

Well, it's cooler down here anyways.

Of course, it's very comfortable out in Fresh Meadows.

Did you and David make other plans for the weekend yet?

He left a message.

Suggested the Poconos.

Oh, the Poconos are so romantic, Christine.

When Harvey and I went there for our honeymoon, we had a heart -shaped tub

the bed had pink sheets.

We saw red buttons.

He looked exactly the same as he did in Hattari.

That's fantastic.

They were 17 years ago.

So the mountains are still there.

Speaking about getting lucky, Christine, Carlisle, Stacy.

Arrested, convicted, and put on probation two years ago. For what?

Bigamy.

That was that Republic enemy number one.

Yeah, maybe not, but get a load of this.

Dr. Roberts, the peeping Tom, he testified at this man Carlisle's trial.

Tell me that's a fluke.

Dr. Roberts called. Remember to ask him about a prescription.

This hits really hard on sensitive tissue. He's a sex therapist, Coleman.

I'm speaking about sensitive... Ask your wife about it.

Please call Roberts. Oh, let me call David. Yeah.

Hello, Dr. Roberts.

Is this the detective Lacey returning?

Oh, certainly.

David Keeler, please. Christine Cagney calling?

Uh -huh. I understand.

No.

Just tell him, hold the Poconos.

How about the Berkshires?

How do you spell that, sir? Yeah, that's it.

Hey. Oh, great talker, yes.

Absolutely. Thank you.

Bye -bye now.

Seems that Dr.

Roberts uses certain unorthodox techniques which he fears would be

misunderstood.

were his videotapes to be made public, so he came across with four names of

patients, and you will never guess who one of them is.

Stacey Carlisle.

Berkshire, huh?

I don't think David and I are close enough.

That big of a thing was a big misunderstanding.

We didn't say it wasn't, Mr.

Carlisle. Well, I forgot about Marilyn. It was easy to forget about her. I

thought we were divorced.

Lawyers will screw you up worse than trains.

You know a Dr. Saunders? That quack? Well, Marilyn and I were always arguing,

we went to see him.

And in almost no time at all, he had us arguing about him.

How about a Dr.

Roberts? Uh, well, Saunders referred us to Roberts.

We were having, um, other kinds of problems, too.

When a relationship goes bad, it really goes bad.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, no.

Too hot to go with all that stuff.

What do you think about this Dr.

Roberts? Well, it's like a little club. They figure they got a live one, so they

pass you around like a hat.

Only instead of putting money in, they take money out.

The only one who was any good was this past lives therapist.

Past lives, sir?

Oh, believe me, I was skeptical, too.

But at that point, I was willing to try anything.

See, who you were in your prior life could be the root cause of your problems

today.

That's when we realized how hopeless it was.

What was? Our relationship.

When I first saw Marilyn, she was in Marie Antoinette's court. She was a

princess and I was some poor schlub selling stale rose by the guillotine.

We've been mismatched for centuries.

Mr. Carlisle, getting back to the present day, what were you doing this

weekend? I was at a marathon encounter group.

Can anybody verify that?

Sure. Dr. Roberts. He was running it.

I thought you didn't like Dr. Roberts.

I already paid for my sessions.

Too much head -trinking, Mary Beth. That man must wear his hat on his shoulder.

How about Atlantic City?

Harvey's been bugging me to go there for months.

I got a brochure at home. I can bring you there. International cuisine,

Thank you so much for gambling.

Going out with you, isn't he?

Almost funny, Mary Beth.

on a car while on alibi, right?

I got some messages for you.

David Keeler called. He said the Berkshires are trite. Nothing for you.

Craig, what do you think the Poconos are, original?

Called back a little while later. He said that he picked you up here. He's

some business.

Say what time?

How should I know?

Victor.

Park there when you're homicided.

Darvin. You had a litigious call.

Think she's got another question about your upper body workout?

Conversations comfort the victim, Marcus.

It's basic police work.

Dr. Roberts, please.

Um, no.

No, there is no need to beat him. Thank you very much.

I'll try him tomorrow.

Thank you.

Why haven't the people with English accents talked so much better than we

Well, they've had hundreds of years more practice.

Sasha, you...

David Keeler, please.

Uh, do you know if he's coming back?

No, that's all right. I'll call him home. Thank you.

Now he's out of the office.

Wish me luck, Christine.

I'm cooking dinner in the microwave oven tonight.

What are you making?

Instant everything.

Yeah, I got one. I use it all the time.

That accounts for the brain damage.

Dave, it's a machine.

Christine, wait a minute. Let me call my machine.

I called Dr. Roberts, but I got his service.

I'll try them again tomorrow, the first thing. I'll take care of it.

Terrific. His secretary needs a message that I should call if I'm going back

home before I come here.

His secretary is talking to my machine. Maybe the two of them can go wait for

the weekend.

What do we do before we get answering machines?

Call back.

You going home?

No. David's coming here to pick me up.

What night is he coming here?

Victor, don't you have some bimbo waiting for you?

All rooms are for the world.

See Mr. Wright up close?

I want to see what it takes to get your motor running.

Trust me, Victor. You don't have the tools.

Don't you have some work to do?

Thanks for reminding me.

Mrs. Darman, please, the tape is back. You're returning a call.

Is this the answer, sir?

Hey, Don.

You have a terrific accent.

Here.

Thank you.

Something about a chick with an English accent that really turns me on.

I'm sure the Queen would be glad to hear that.

Hi.

Hi.

This is warm.

This is what life is all about.

I've returned to call you. Me too.

So what's the good news?

I strapped it off. Four days instead of three.

Oh!

That's great news.

Extra day makes it a real vacation.

Extra day? I can't take an extra day. You said you had some vacation days,

Come on, we'll talk about it on the way home. Well, that's why I was trying to

call you.

I have all these TV5s I have to do, and they're due tonight.

Well, call me when you get off.

I'll have a late -night piece.

Will do.

Bye.

Now I know what I've been doing wrong.

Gotta get my nails buffed.

Buff this, Becky.

Wouldn't you know?

They were in my purse the whole time.

What are you doing here? Did you forget something?

No.

Is David waiting for you?

David is waiting for meaning, Mary Beth, and... Some sort of death to emerge out

of what was beforehand a perfectly sensible, highly sexual, healthy

between two normal people who are now going to hole up for four days out in

middle of nowhere.

I thought it was three.

So did I.

He got a new reservation with an extra day tacked on.

I don't want an extra day, Mary Beth. You can't believe the look in his eyes.

He cares for you, Christine.

I know he cares for me, Mary Beth, and I care for him. But there's no reason to

drag me out in the middle of the boondocks and suck... on my soul.

Chris, what is it you want?

I want everything to stay the same.

He's just making this whole thing too important.

Well, don't go then. Tell him no.

I can't do that. He's so excited about going to the country and he can't wait

show me his new plaid shirt and suspenders.

It could turn out to be a lot of fun.

Yeah, maybe.

What? We're not painting white picket fences here, are we? We're not getting

married. We're just going away for four days. Exactly.

But why?

Chris, I gotta go.

See, if I can get home soon with a new microwave, I could freshen up for dinner

for Harvey. Sure.

I'm sorry, but if you go ahead.

You don't know where you stand these days with me, Mary Beth. That's the

See, you sleep now, ask questions later.

Christine. Well, it's fine for you. Yeah, you and Harvey, you had a

You had a heart -shaped bed, for God's sake. The tub was heart -shaped.

The bed had pink sheets.

Whatever.

At least you knew where you were.

We still do.

You know, sometimes thinking gets in the way, Chris.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Her heart seemed to have all puked.

Brought to you by the miracle of modern science in one hour and 14 minutes. Ta

-da!

Boy, am I starved.

Let's eat.

What is it?

It's a turkey. What happened to it?

It got cooked.

I had to cut the legs off to fit in the machine.

It looks sick.

It's worse than sick.

It's dead.

Hey. It's not cooked.

Gordon.

Hey.

Honey.

It's delicious.

It's the sweetest turkey I've ever tasted in my life.

Where's the crispy part?

There is no crispy part when you make it in a microwave, Michael. The crispy

part is my favorite.

Mine, too.

It's healthier for you this way.

I don't want you to turn... Me either.

You know, you guys could at least have given it a shot.

I'm sorry.

No, they're right.

They could play basketball without turkey.

Maybe I was wrong about the microwave. I won't push it. I just thought you

wanted... I did!

Forget it.

No.

No. I'll get used to it.

We will use it.

We will use it, Harvey, to make our life better somehow.

Like?

Like at night.

When we want to make cocoa, it can make cocoa in 47 seconds.

What will we do with the extra time?

We'll think of something.

The weather bureau tells us we'll be hitting more record -breaking

again today.

That's the bad news.

But the real bad news is we'll be doing it all over again tomorrow.

Did you reach Mrs. Garvin?

She's still leaving messages.

I called her last night, but she wasn't home.

Not exactly your grieving widow, you know. Have you heard from Mary Beth? No.

Is everything all right?

Well, she's usually not this late without calling in.

Did you try her at home?

Well, what a good idea, Victor. Why didn't I think of that? Hey, whoa.

What do we have here? Do I sense a long weekend, Cagney?

No, I'm running away from home.

You get ten bucks for cooking with a look -see.

Victor, just back off, all right?

I'm ruling on my letter.

Come on. I just want to see what Mr.

Bucknail has to look forward to.

I figure you for black lace.

What do you think, Marcus?

I think it's none of our business.

Thank you, Peter.

Twenty bucks, my last offer.

You're too hot already.

Another burglary on Park Avenue.

Oh, have any thieves convention there?

Has Lacey called?

No. Maybe the thieves made the baby sick. Could be at the doctor's. No, it's

the house. Mario was there. Said she left at the normal time.

Sergeant Tagg is 14th. Hey, Mary Beth, where have you been?

I can't hear you. Are you all right?

Christine, I would wish the morning I had this morning on my worst enemy.

Three buses passed me by. They were so full.

Becky, touch that or we'll cut your hands off.

When I did get a bus... I'm sorry, Mary Beth, what were you saying?

When I did get a bus, we're jammed in there like sardines and we're starting

smell like a tube because the air conditioning doesn't work.

It's busy!

So then I finally get to the subway and I got even a strap to hang on to and you

never guess what happened.

Are you listening to this? Every word.

Lousy train breaks down with 45 minutes under the East River.

So are you coming in?

Oh, yeah.

Don't think I came all this way for nothing.

Good. Is there another burglary?

Don't tell me. A doctor.

Vernon, 1585 Park, apartment 11B.

I'll grab a bus and meet you there.

Talk me out of it.

First rule of a single's handbook. You never know.

I'll meet you upstairs.

I had these fabulous antique watches. I just got back in town this morning to

find the entire collection gone.

You wouldn't have known Stacey Carlisle. Oh, yes. He's a client of mine.

You have a very ancient face.

I mean like a Flemish peasant woman.

Have you ever been Dutch?

Shouldn't we wait for Victor?

Trust me, I'll fill him in.

Now, what is it that you wanted to tell us?

Well, when I told you my husband and I were away for the weekend, that was only

partially true.

Uh -huh.

You see, we were away, but we were away separately.

Walter and I haven't exactly been getting along.

But he came back.

Oh, probably to check up on me.

Walter was extremely jealous.

Very possessive.

He always thought I was cheating on him.

And were you?

Not always.

Victor? What are you doing here?

Don't tell me the homicide.

Yeah, and you?

Another burglary. Christine's upstairs already.

So is Marcus.

Oh, thank you. The first good thing that happened to me all day.

I'll have that for you.

Eleven, please.

You care for me?

No, thanks.

My mother always told me never take candy from strange men.

Victor. Oh, yeah. Very funny.

Oh. Oh.

Come on.

Come on.

Don't break it, Victor.

Yes? Oh, just a moment. It's the doorman.

For you.

Hello?

This is Detective Petrie.

Oh, my God.

Yes, I'll be right down.

Excuse me, ma 'am. My partner is stuck in the elevator.

Bring him back up when he's free.

We're here on a case. Victor's stuck in an elevator.

There's a lady cop stuck in there, too.

Detective Lacey?

How would I know? Don't you guys talk to each other?

It's stuck between floors.

Well, why is it stuck?

That power surge jammed something.

So how long do you think it'll take to fix? Last time it was an all -nighter.

You believe in karma?

Like what?

Like if I didn't stop and buy those breath mints, I wouldn't be here right

I call that hindsight.

Yeah.

God, it's like an oven in here.

Why don't you relax and take it easy, please?

How much air do you think we got?

Plenty. If you don't use it all up prowling around, why don't you sit down?

You know, if I lift that panel off, I bet you we can climb out of here.

Not me, Victor. We're eight stories up.

Victor's okay in there. I'm a big boy. He's claustrophobic.

This weekend's jinx.

Mind if I take off my shirt?

Hell, I'll take mine off, too, if it'll help you relax.

I'm joking, Victor. Please calm down.

I can't stand being trapped in here.

Victor, there's probably all sorts of people who are working very hard right

to get us out of here. We have to be patient, Victor.

The last time it was this hot is when you were trapped in that boxcar,

It's like this hot weather car.

Every time it gets over 90 degrees, you've got to get trapped.

Have you seen any good movies lately, Victor?

Anything with Clint Eastwood?

Yeah, sure.

I saw one where he hit these guys with axe handles.

Yeah? Oh, yeah, it was real good. Real good. Kind of like Shane.

Oh, Shane, that's a heck of a movie.

That was a movie, wasn't it? That's one of Harvey's all -time favorite movies.

Yeah, Shane, it was great. A man by himself.

And a wilderness standing alone. I have always admired that about you men.

Brave and stoic and never getting rattled. Yeah.

Yeah, Shane was the best. My mother took me to see Shane when I was nine years

old.

Quickly, she said, let's see what the... Oh, God, it's tight in here.

It was tight like this back in that box car.

You miss your mom, don't you, Victor?

Yeah, I really do.

I do.

You know, I owe you for covering for me back then.

Victor! We did what we thought was right.

You know, you're responsible for my life now.

It's kind of like a karma thing.

Didn't you see the black thing?

Oh, don't worry.

I'll make you proud.

What is it that you miss about your mom, Victor?

Well, those knit shirts she used to buy me.

Yeah, well, now that she's gone, she won't buy from me anymore.

Yeah, well, I had that funny kind of pattern, that diamond pattern.

I don't know what you called him. It was, um... Oh, I just can't think.

Argyle. Argyle, right.

Yeah, hated him.

I really hated him.

But I remember standing in that, um, that returning line, thinking about my

Every Christmas, every birthday.

No one will ever love you like your mother.

Did she tell you that?

Yeah.

Why?

It's not true.

Mary Beth!

Chris! Hey! Hey!

When are they going to get this thing moving?

Don't you want to get out of the way? It's dangerous here.

Tell me something.

It was a tragic day for the male of the species.

The world has never been the same since, you know that? Who was Bobby Riggs?

Bobby Riggs was an old tennis pro who, back in 1973, had it about up to here

with the female uproar. She's out in the field. 73, I was only 11.

You're trying to depress me.

She went to the village and found me taking my money.

It was a great match, wasn't it?

She shut that loud mouth right up.

Too hot of a meal in that elevator.

I'll be hearing about sweat stains for months.

Like as if I was having a baby, right? That's right, Victor. Keep breathing.

There's nothing wrong with being claustrophobic.

Yeah.

When this guy was holding you hostage, did this breathing thing work for you?

Why don't you close your eyes, Victor, and take a nice deep breath and blow it

all out?

I'm going to keep my eyes shut. That's it.

The wall's coming in. No, no. Tell me about this sophistication around Victor,

this homicide, hmm?

Yeah. Speaking about bad karma.

This guy wasn't even supposed to be home. Breathe, Victor. He wasn't?

No, we were supposed to be out on some psychiatrist convention.

Was he a psychiatrist?

Yeah, some kind of shrink.

He and his wife were supposed to be out of town.

Are you sure?

Sure, I'm sure.

I checked you with his answering service.

At first, they checked if you wanted to give me any information.

But I got it verified.

Oh, you know how the English are.

Just keep your eyes closed and think of wide open spaces.

Great accent.

Sexy as hell.

If her body's anything like her accent, I wouldn't run giving her a message.

Just keep breathing, Victor, in and out. In.

Out.

Anguish, huh?

Claudia calls the personnel department every month in a different 20 voice than

any sergeants have retired.

I know sweating the list is tough.

And Victor's always got the latest good news.

The sergeant in the 4 -7 who had a heart attack.

One in the harbor squad who drowned.

It'll happen, Marcus.

Maybe in a few months.

You'll be good sergeant, too.

Okay, honey. It's almost finished. Your friends will be free in a couple of

minutes. All right.

Watch it, watch it, watch it.

We're about six tons of bimbos here.

Sit down. Let me take this stuff. Actually, I think that Victor figured

thing out. What thing? Who? What? Your homicide or burglary. Wait a minute.

There's a connection?

And he figured it out?

What is it? What is the one thing that all these psychiatrists have in common?

The rich.

Now, besides that, they all have the same answering service, right, Victor?

The woman with the English accent. Isn't that right?

See, when the doctors left town for the weekend, they all notified their

service. And then what'd you figure?

Oh, right.

That's how the bad guys knew that the apartments would be empty, so that they

could break in uninterrupted.

What does this have to do with your homicide?

Well, Victor figures that their psychiatrist, what's his name?

Dartmouth. Dartmouth. He told the service he'd be gone, so he was on the

get robbed. And he came home before he was supposed to.

And the brokers panicked and killed him. Good one!

The shared collar.

Couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you.

You all right?

Come on.

So much for your sexy English accent.

Chris.

Oh, David, I'm sorry I'm late. We missed our reservation.

Did we lose the place? Not at all. I guaranteed the four days.

Uh -huh.

Come on, let's go.

I've got paperwork.

Oh, don't worry about that. It's back. You'll take care of that.

But it's long.

Three hours to Binghamton. Binghamton. You save a lot of time if you take the

Taconic Parkway instead of the thruway.

Go.

Go.

I want to get something straight about this trip.

I don't want to spend the time analyzing our relationship.

All right.

We're discussing anything meaningful. The deepest thing I want to get into is

the bathtub.

That's fine by me.

Weep. Sex.

Bird -washing. All okay.

Sounds like the weekend I had planned.

Want to check on it?

No tricks.
