I was trying to tell him that.
At 64 you're talking about...

Wait, just a minute.

You're saying it's too
dicey? Well, no guts, no glory.

Captain Courageous.

Would anything
like anything else?

This is great. I'm fine, thanks.

I couldn't eat another thing,

but everything was
delicious, as always.

- Yes it was.
- Thank you, Frank.

Donald, you are married
to the woman of the century.

- Hear, hear.
- Oh, thanks, Howard.

Thank you. That's what
I keep trying to tell him.

And she does tell me,
over and over and over.

Shall we have dessert in
the den? What do you say?

- Yeah.
- Sure.

And then we can take a hot tub.

Perfect.

Yes. We have extra suits.

- Who needs suits?
- I'm game.

- Yeah, who needs suits?
- Absolutely.

I think they're kidding.

Oh!

I'm afraid I can't join you.

I've got to get to the office.

Oh, honey.

Well, I want to be there in
the morning when Zürich opens.

Gold's going crazy.

My god, you're dedicated. Six
a.m. is early enough for me.

No, Donald is just more
ambitious than the rest of us.

It was a good party,
don't you think?

Everybody seemed
to have a lot of fun.

You outdid yourself, sweetheart.

Liz looked marvelous.

She's going to that new weight
doctor in Beverly Hills.

What's his name? I'm think about
going.

- You don't need to go.
- Oh, well...

Oh, Donald. Donald, you
gave those up, remember?

Will you be very late again tonight?

- Probably.
- Oh, honey.

That worries me so much.
You work so hard.

You know, Jim McCabe had a
heart attack and he's only 40.

Catherine, nothing
is gonna happen to me.

Remember our 10-year plan?

I just need to close one more
big deal and we're there.

I'm the luckiest wife in the world.

I'm the lucky one.

But it'll probably be
another all-nighter,

so don't wait up for me, okay?

Yeah, okay.

- See ya.
- All right.

Oh, your keys are
on the back porch by...

- Right.
- All right.

Yeah?

I'll go to Beverly's and get some.

I know this is difficult
for you, Mrs. Todsen,

but anything you can tell
us will be appreciated.

Where did your husband work?

Bryce Dunbar. He's...

Was a stockbroker.

How long were you married?

Nine years.

Any problems with the marriage?

No.

No, we were very happy.

Donald was a wonderful husband.

How often did you see Todsen?

I don't know, once a week.

So he was a regular, huh?

He was a trick, Delroy.

I think you know
what I do for a living.

Maybe you liked him.

Maybe you gave it to him for free.

He paid like everyone else.

Yeah, he paid heavy.

Are you gonna charge
me with something?

'Cause if you're not gonna
charge me with something,

I'm outta here.

You're outta here when
I get good and ready

to let you outta here,
you understand that?

Oh, fold it four ways, Delroy.

Here.

Come on.

You set him up, right?

Your pimp did him.

If you had another idea in
your head, it'd be lonely.

I don't have a pimp. I outlaw.

Did your husband often
work late at night?

Yes.

He was very ambitious.

He had this plan to make $5
million before he was 40.

Did you ever think he
was seeing someone else?

No. That's ridiculous.

Yeah.

Why are you asking me this?

I'm trying to determine

why your husband was
found where he was found.

Where was my husband found?

In an apartment.

In Hollywood.

Who's apartment?

A prostitute's.

It's been a real pleasure, Delroy.

Well, it's been a thrill for me too.

Listen, stick around, will ya?

- Don't take any long trips.
- Too bad.

I'm gonna have to cancel
my Caribbean cruise.

Hey, if you'd be so kind as
to give this lady a ride home?

You're a real gentleman, Delroy.

Hey, just for the record,

it ain't exactly a good
business practice

killing johns, you know.

That's her, isn't it?

Yes.

Okay, ma'am, let's go.

Catherine.

Mrs. Todsen.

Oh, Frank!

Oh, Catherine, I'm so sorry.

Oh, Frank, I just can't believe it.

I know, I know.

How could he do it to
me, Frank? How could he?

I don't know, Catherine.
I just don't know.

And then he hit the liquor store

at Falcon and Hill
Cross about three p.m.

Three shots were fired and...

Well, just make sure this report...

- Come on, boys. I have a life.

All right, great.
I'll see you later.

Come on, ma'am.

I want to see where that woman lives,

where Donald died.

- No, no.
- Please, Frank, I have to.

That's the worst possible
thing you could do.

Hey, Marla.

See ya.

Not just another woman,

but a prostitute.

What was wrong with me?

Catherine, don't.

It's like I never even knew him.

How do you like it?

Good?

Come on, green, come on.

Come on, I got one quarter left.

Hey, Marla.

- How you doing?
- I'm okay.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Sorry to hear about the
flap with your john, Marla.

Couldn't be too good for business.

Give her a break, okay, Tony?

Wasn't this the one
you were sweet on?

You know, the regular?

Bite the wall, Tony.

Yeah.

The one with the wife?

They all got wives.

Hi, Edith. Sorry I'm late.

I just heard.

What a shock.

I brought you some Godivas.

Oh, it's such a loss.

I just don't know what to say.

He was such a good husband.

And so devoted to you.

I'm very tired.

- I'll bet you are.
- I think I should rest.

- Rest.
- Yeah. Come on, Sal.

- We should all go.
- Why don't we all, sure.

Call me if you need anything.

Thanks, Sally. Thank you.

Bye, Howard.

- Bye.
- Bye-bye.

Can you believe it,

to have him go like
that in the saddle?

Look, Catherine, I know
you don't know it now,

but believe me, things are only
gonna get better from here.

Okay? You just need a little time.

Why don't you go
upstairs and get some rest

and I'll take care of
the funeral arrangements.

I don't want a funeral.

I don't think he deserves one.

You don't have to have a funeral.

You can do whatever you want.

Let me get you some Valium.

Listen, Catherine, Donald
made a terrible mistake.

But he worked really hard

and you're gonna be
very well taken care of.

Okay?

All right. Get some rest.

- And I'll give you a call.
- Thank, Frank.

And whatever you need, anytime,

you call me, all right, darling?

All right, Liz. Thank you, Liz.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

Mrs. Todsen, Stryker and
Delroy. May we come in?

- Yes, please.
- It's all right?

Yes, yes.

Sorry to have to bother
you at this time, ma'am.

That's all right.

Thanks.

There's just a few
questions we have to ask you.

Oh, please.

Please. Here.

Thank you.

You want to tell
us about your plans

to go down to Rio with your husband?

What plans to go to Rio?

Weren't you going to Rio?
And meet your husband there?

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

You must have an idea.

We have his ticket right here.

Rio?

He was going to Rio?

Hey, girl. You're not dressed yet!

I just can't tonight.

Can you take Arnie alone?

Sure, I don't mind.

Cops just left here asking
me a whole lot of questions.

Sure hope I didn't
say the wrong thing.

I'm sure you were cool.

Girl, I thought you gave
those things up for good.

Things change.

Yeah, well, you don't
look too good either.

Did you eat anything today?

I'm not hungry.

Not much here to cook with.

But you got ice cream.

That stuff's not for eating.

It's for Roy.

Yeah, I got one like that.
Dave.

He uses yogurt
'cause he's on a diet.

Now you gotta eat something
or you'll get yourself sick.

Here.

You know, that bloodstain's
not gonna come out.

But girl, I got a trick
in the carpet business.

He can get you brand new carpet

and you can work most of it off.

Oh, and guess who's back in town.

- Who?
- Tiffany.

Just finished doing
time in Frontera, right,

on the stroll for 15 minutes

and propositioned an undercover dick.

Bad luck.

Her planets must be real funky.

I'm gonna miss him, you know.

He was the only guy that
was ever good to me.

Girl, don't.

What do the wives have that I don't?

I mean, besides the right
clothes and the right schooling.

The right table manners.

Told you a million times,

never get involved with a john.

Yeah, I know.

Good enough to play with...

But not good enough to love, honey.

Men are pigs.

Beverly, I need my physical.

I'll be right there, Arnie, honey.

What does that hooker
have that I don't have?

I mean, I thought I
had a good marriage.

I even thought our sex
life was, you know, fine.

How could Donald do this to me?

I've always been such a nice person.

Maybe Donald didn't always want nice.

But I was brought up to
have good manners, you know.

To be polite.

So was Donald.

Can you really be polite

when your husband's been
sleeping with another woman?

Well, I...

I do feel betrayed.

Betrayed?

You're furious.

You're just not in
touch with your anger.

I...

I don't think I know
how to do that.

Then maybe it's time you learned.

Hey, fella. Wanna party?

Yeah?

I'm Catherine Todsen, Donald's wife.

Just in the neighborhood
and thought you'd drop by?

I need to talk to you.

Well, I don't need to talk to you.

Look.

This isn't easy for me.

Everything's easy for you.

Marla?

Oh. I'm sorry,
you have company and I...

Marla!

Oh.

Marla.

Look, this is office hours.

Look. Listen.

I just have to ask you something.

You wanted to see
where a hooker lives.

- Well, know you've seen it.
- Oh, no, no, no. Wait, wait.

Oh!

Oh.

No.

I need to know how long
Donald was coming here.

What is this, female bonding?

Actually, I'm trying to
get in touch with my anger.

Oh, don't tell me you
just came from your shrink.

Look, it's not much to ask, is it?

Three years.

Okay, two years and nine months.

Now you can go back to your
frigid Beverly Hills life.

It is not Beverly Hills,
it's Brentwood!

And I am not frigid.

For your information,

Donald and I had a
perfectly normal sex life.

Honey, any sex life that's normal

has to be far from perfect.

Marla? I've been a bad boy.

I'll be with you in a second, Walter.

I gotta get back to work.

Unless, of course,
you care to join us.

No, thank you!

Very much!

Are you sure?

Yes!

Ye...

Yes.

God, my worst nightmare is coming true.

What? What is this?

Come back here!

Help! Help!

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Down, boy! Down, down!

Stay.

Stay. Good boy, good boy.

Stay.

Can I help?

That man stole my car.

In front of my eyes, he stole my car.

- Not the best neighborhood.
- No.

I'll be glad to drive
you to the police station.

Thank you. Oh, thank you so much!

Oh, thank you so much.

So humiliating, my car stolen.

I don't know how to thank
you. I'm so embarrassed.

Lot of good my car alarm did.

I know what happened to your car.

What?

I know what happened to your husband.

We want it.

Want what?

You know what.

No, I don't know what.

Your husband stole it from us.

Stole what?

And you're gonna hand it over

or you're gonna wind up just like him.

You've got two days.

We'll be in touch.

My purse! Oh, no, no!

My purse!

This isn't happening to me.

Oh!

Oh.

What?

Somebody stole my car.

Then someone tried to kidnap me,

then someone else stole my purse,

so now I'm stranded
and I have no money.

You got bad karma, kid.

They wanted something
they said Donald had.

Now, would you know about that?

How the hell would
I know about that?

Because maybe you
killed Donald for it.

Maybe you killed Donald for it.

Why on Earth would
I want Donald dead?

Well, let's see. He was
sleeping with a hooker?

You're on the insurance policy?
I could go on.

Oh, I'll bet you could.

I see you're getting
in touch with your anger.

- Congratulations.
- Please.

Could I use your
telephone to call the police?

The police?

Breathe through your nose,
Walter.

Please?

I'll drive you to the station.

Just promise me
you won't come back.

I promise.

Oh, by the way, what
is this you're wearing?

A business suit. I'll get my keys.

Hello.

Hello, Walter.

I just...

It's just been one of those...

Those kind of days.

And thank you very much.

Oh! Is this a cute car!

I had one of these myself in college.

Who'd have thought they'd
become a classic, huh?

No seat belts. Oh dear.

You know, we do have
a new seat belt law.

You could get a ticket.

Oh! Look out!

Oh no!

What would you put the
value of your purse at?

$750.

- Excuse me?
- I bought it in Paris.

Oh.

The value of its contents?

Oh, gee. Let me see.

Well, there was a gold
Tiffany key chain with keys,

my Gucci wallet with
matching checkbook cover,

my Montblanc pen,
my Cartier compact,

all my makeup, all my credit cards,

all my cash, all the Valium...

Oh, I don't know. $2,500?

Let's move on to the car.

Can you describe
the man who stole it?

I only saw him for a second.

But if I had to describe him,

I could definitely say he was a thug.

- A thug.
- A thug?

Sign here, please.

This is it?

I mean, you're not
going to do anything?

We'll look into this, Mrs. Todsen.
Thank you very much.

But this other man,
the one I told you about.

Not the youngster who stole my purse

or the thug who took my car,

but the one who tried to kidnap me,

- him I can describe.
- Oh.

He had beady little eyes.

Very bad breath.

And he was wearing an
imitation leather jacket.

You're sure it was imitation?

Now, he wanted something.

They usually do.

No, this had to do with Donald.

It could be a clue.

A clue?

A clue.

Walter, I hope you were good...

Yeah?

Listen, honey. We want it back.

You got two days to turn it over

or you wind up like Donald.

Two days.

Got it?

Mrs. Todsen.

You come down
here in a $50,000 car.

You got a purse worth more money

than most people make in a month.

You are a typical West Side liberal

with too much money and too
much free time on your hands.

Really?

I'll have you know I'm a Republican.

Go home, Mrs. Todsen.

I just don't understand this.

I mean, you're treating me
as though I'm the criminal,

but I'm the one who got mugged.

I'm the one whose car was stolen.

I'm the one who almost got kidnapped.

And you two stand there so smugly.

Well, let me tell you something.

It's my taxes that pay your salaries

and the least you can be
is somewhat sympathetic.

- Let me tell you...
- No, we pay taxes too, ma'am.

My husband was a law-abiding
citizen.

And so am I.

Your husband came down
here looking for trouble

and he found it.

And we're gonna do our
very best to investigate that.

Can I have someone
drive you home, ma'am?

Thank you for the
water and crackers.

I can manage myself.

Cancel that call.

All right, come on, let's move.

- Hey, watch it!
- Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.

Oh! Oh, you're chained.

- Hey!
- Hey, baby.

Pardon me. Well, you just...

You have the right of way.

All right, gentlemen, move it.
Let's keep it moving.

- Get in!
- Go away.

Now!

Do you have to yell at me?

Please?

Thank you.

God, just flies everywhere.

I'll have a chili cheese
dog with everything on it.

Onions, everything.
Sauerkraut, if you have it.

A piece of apple pie
with ice cream. Vanilla.

Thank you.

Do you always eat like this?

When I'm under stress, yes, I do.

Oh, you mean like
when you have a manicure

and a luncheon the same day?

You know, it's very impolite
to smoke in a restaurant.

Haven't you ever heard
of secondary smoke?

You know, you have a
real mean streak in you.

Think so?

Yes, I do.

Well, your husband didn't.

There, you see?

- What?
- What you just said.

That was very mean-spirited.

Well, thank you for pointing this out.

I thought since we were talking,
we might as well be open.

Okay, as long as we're being open,

why don't you tell me
what Donnie was into?

I don't know what Donald was into.

Donald never told me anything.

I can believe that.

Well, what did he share
with you, besides the obvious?

A lot of things. We talked
about a lot of things.

For instance, he taught
me about investing.

I could be a stockbroker now.

Oh, good! Frank needs a new partner.

Look, I don't like this
any better than you do,

but somebody is after both of us.

Well,
then we should go to the police.

Oh, grow up. Cops arrest hookers.

No, the police are
here to serve the public.

Sort of like what you do.

At least I don't give it away.

I don't give anything away.

That's what Donnie said.

I don't have to stay here

and listen to your low-class insults.

Yes you do! Yes you do!

Look it, I don't like you
and you don't like me.

Okay, fine, but we need each other.

I do not need you.

You don't get it, do you?
You don't get it.

Donnie screwed us both.

We've gotta find out
what kind of trouble

he's gotten us into before
we get nabbed by the cops

or offed by those scum.

You mean killed?

Oh, wake up, Snow White.

Prince Charming ain't coming back.

Is us or the freakin' witch.

You were right.

Those sweet little ladies
are working together.

They are sweet, aren't they?

I think we're gonna follow
them wherever they go.

Oh, I...

I don't think I can do this.

Look, we've got people to talk to.

If you walk around like Princess Di,

we'll get the royal brush-off.

Besides, around here it ain't safe.

I just don't feel comfortable.

I mean, maybe it's the vinyl, but...

I won't wear that.

Get...

There.

I feel like a walking advertisement.

That's the point.

Yes, if you've got something to sell.

Who doesn't?

June, put this on my charge.

You owe me $176.

- Nah.
- What? They clash?

Will you just trust me?

Well, these shoes were definitely

not made for walking.

Fine.

I wish I'd gotten
glasses like yours now.

I feel totally overdressed.

No, no. You can pull this off.

Really?

See that?

It's that this belt is binding me.

Hey. Hey!

Oh no, Marla,
I draw the line right here.

I will not get tattooed.

Can you describe the guy?

- Yes.
- Come on.

Hey, Louie!

Hi, sweetie. How are the roses?

Oh, a big hit.

I did a dozen red, real classy.

Oh, really? Where?

Later.

Listen, Louie, she's looking
for a guy who ripped her off.

Can you remember
what he looked like?

Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Very bad breath.

And he was wearing a
cheap imitation leather jacket.

Face like a weasel.

Just my type.

Louie used to
be a police artist.

- Really?
- Okay, pick a nose.

Pick a nose.

Let's see. Noses.

No? You sure?

Thanks anyway.

Thanks, fellas.

Slit eyes, pitted skin, pointy ears.

Sorry.

- Ooh, my. What a bargain.
- Yeah.

A guy always dreams of a twofer.

Especially a cop.

Ladies, you're under arrest.

Oh, no. There's a mistake.

I don't usually dress like this.

I'm not even from this neighborhood.
I'm from Brentwood.

Then you can consider
me your chauffer.

So anyway, this hooker
goes over to a john, right,

and she says, "Look for
$100, I'll do anything."

And said, "Yeah? Paint my house!"

Excuse me!

Is there a nonsmoking
section I could be moved to?

Anyone? Hello?

Hey, relax, stripper.

Hey, Marla. I got some of
that stock you told me about.

It went up $5 a share.

Yeah, well you wait till it
goes up to 20, then you sell.

Whoo!

Excuse me. Would you
mind pacing over there?

I'm very claustrophobic.

Hey, can you take it...

Hey, prost bust ain't much.
Nobody gives a damn about it.

Yes, well, it's your
fault we're in here.

Hey, I saved our butts, little girl.

If we weren't in here,
we'd be in the morgue.

Hey, I got a .32 in my purse.

Some dude starts messing with me

and he gets it in the money machine.

Yeah!

Look, I got a really good lawyer.
Here's his card.

- Oh, thank you.
- Yeah, no problem.

Save it, Egypt.
She'll be out in a heartbeat.

Catherine Todsen.
Catherine Todsen.

- So long, kiddo.
- Oh, thanks.

Take care of yourself.

Hey, now that you've
done some hard time,

you might want to
sell the book rights.

Feel free to come back and do
the research. We'll be here.

Thanks, Lois. Thank you.

Thanks.

Catherine?

- Oh my god!
- Excuse me.

- Excuse me.
- No, excuse me.

- What the hell is this?
- Oh, this?

Well, I was just going undercover.

Undercover? Listen to me.

I'm conducting a murder investigation

and you're playing dress-up.

No, no, no. I was just
trying to do what I thought...

Don't try anything.

Just go back to
Brentwood and stay there.

I don't want to see you
east of Beverly Hills.

But, Detective Stryker,

I'd like to meet my
friends, Liz and Frank.

I got my car stolen.

- Oh, you're kidding!
- You're kidding.

They didn't steal
your clothes, did they?

- Oh, no, I can explain this.
- Oh, not the Jag.

- Yes, the Jag!
- Oh no!

You must be exhausted.

- Oh, I'm starving.
- I don't mean from...

- Oh, maybe I have something.
- If you have a cracker or...

Look, why don't I call Wolfgang,

- see if he can squeeze us in?
- How about a throat lozenge?

Fine, I'll call Michael or
Rebecca or something.

I've arranged bail,
we should just take off.

Oh, let's just get out of here, yeah.

There's just one other thing.

I'd like to arrange bail for Marla.

Fine. Who's Marla?

Marla.

- Isn't she the...
- Yeah.

- Not the...
- Yeah.

- You don't mean the...
- Donald's friend, Marla.

Catherine, this is not your problem.

Oh no, Liz, you'd like her, really.

No, but I don't want to meet her.

- Oh, I want to introduce you.
- No, wait a minute.

No, wait, I've got to
put my foot down here.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry,
but absolutely not.

You know, this is okay,

but I think that Frank wears
his suspenders too tight.

Oh, Frank's all right.

People live here?

That's the general idea.

Everything matches.

Kinda like your boots and fringe.

Condolence cards.

Catalogs. Ooh,
mail-order is so convenient.

Yeah, just the thing
for the woman on the run.

How many doors you got?

Oh, Marla. This is
Brentwood, we're safe.

Donald knew those men from
your life, not from mine.

Right. Are your windows locked?

I have a security system.

House secure.
Goodnight.

So Donald talked to
you about his work, huh?

Yeah, he did. He was a great teacher.

Think I'm gonna get certified,
become a stockbroker for the street.

A stockbroker for the street.

That sounds good.

Oh my, a fashion risk.

No pearls, what a statement.

You know, even Nancy
Reagan dares to wear red.

Well, you know, sometimes
subtle is preferable.

Yeah? When?

Everything in this closet is beige.

Maybe that's what was wrong
with your marriage. Too beige.

Now, Marla, who are you to tell me

what was wrong with
my marriage, huh?

Just an observation.

All right now, Marla,
what are we looking for?

I don't know.
Drugs, money, jewels?

You got a safe?

Here, in the floor.

Where else?

Donald told me never to touch that.

What, you were afraid you
were gonna be grounded?

All right, the combination's
over here in the Rolodex.

Donald wrote it like a phone number,

only he dropped the first number

and the rest is the combination.

I won't tell a soul.

All right, here we go.
16-22-7.

What's that number again? 16?

16-22-7.

That's got it.

Oh! Oh, my lord!

What? What?

- Oh!
- What?

I can charge again.
Donald's credit cards.

He lives on.

Fuse again. I'll call
the security system.

Catherine.
Catherine, we gotta go.

- Darn, it's dead.
- Okay, we're outta here!

Ever since they deregulated,
it's just been that way.

- All of the phone service...
- They're on to us! Come on!

Marla!

Ha ha!

Where are you going?

Come on! Come on!

- We'll be trapped upstairs!
- Just trust me!

Come on! Quick, hurry!

- Come on!
- What? What are we doing?

Come on!

All right, open that window.

- Why?
- Just open it!

A suburban fire escape. Catalog item.

All right. Chuck that out the window.

- No, no.
- Come on!

- No!
- Throw it out the window!

Ladies? Come on!

Come on!

Okay, okay.

- Yes, yes.
- Oh, no.

And Donald laughed at
me when I bought this.

Hey, ladies! Ladies!

- We know you're here!
- There, all right. You first.

- No. No!
- Go on. Come on, Marla!

- No!
- Go on! Go on!

Marla, what's the matter with you?

- Are you frightened of heights?
- Shut up!

Don't make this hard.

Bye now.

Come on, Marla. Come on.

Come on, come on. That's it.

Come on, come on.

Okay.

Yeah.

- Come on, Marla.
- Shut up, Catherine.

Come on.

Shut up, Catherine.
Shut up, Catherine!

Don't tell me to shut
up anymore. Don't tell...

Marla!

Marla! Marla, lift your foot!

Lift your foot now! Thank you.

Oh, god, I knew it!

I knew it! I'm gonna die!

I'm gonna die!

Oh god, my hands are
slipping, I can't hold on!

- I can't hold on! I can't!
- Marla! Marla!

Marla! Marla!

Come on, let's go!

Furniture's a little tacky,
but it's got a great view.

Wait a minute.

You're certain it's all
right for us to be here?

- I mean, nobody's gonna walk...
- Will you relax?

Will you quit saying that to me?
I'm perfectly relaxed.

I'm just concerned. If somebody
walks in and, you know...

- We are perfectly safe.
Rolf is away on location.

- He is a producer.
- Oh. Oh.

Oh!

- Oh, you mean he produces...
- Yeah.

"Chastity." Now that was a good film.

But "Wheel of Foreplay,"
that was his masterpiece.

Come on it! It feels great.

Oh, in a minute.
I'm just going to unwind.

Catherine, it's chlorinated.

You know, Marla,
I was just curious.

Have you ever...

on film?

No. I have a job.

Well, I know that.

I mean as a manicurist.

Then I have something
to show the IRS.

Also, it's a great way
to meet clients.

Oh, by the way,
I've got to go there

first thing in the morning,
gotta talk to Beverly.

Got a brush?

Oh, you know, you oughta
go to Donnie's office

and dig around.

Dig around for what?

Oh, I don't know.
Get his appointment book.

You know, the last 24
hours of a victim's life

are the most important
when solving a crime.

Learned that from
your close association

with the police, no doubt.

I watch a lot of movies.

In between clients?

Sometimes during.

Oh, so that's how you get through it.

- Get through what?
- It.

- It?
- It!

Drink this.

- Are you interested?
- Me?

No.

Well, yes, all right,
I'm interested in how you feel.

Well, for me,
it's not that bad anymore.

I've got my regular johns.
It's like a job.

It's like punching a clock.

Well, do you like it?

Do you?

Me?

You.

Well, yes. Of course I like it.

Always? He never lied?

Well...

Maybe once or twice.

Oh.

But Marla, making love
with someone you love,

someone who loves you,

well, that's a lovely thing.

I love seeing my bills get paid.

Yes, but doesn't that scare you?

I mean, it's dangerous out
there. There are diseases.

I take care of myself.

Well, all right, but I still say

it's like playing Russian roulette.

Not if you're ready
when the gun goes off.

Look, a john comes to me,

he plays by my rules,
or we don't play.

If that's all right with him,

then I'll give him anything he wants.

Oh.

What?

Oh, I just suppose that's
what Donald saw in you.

No offense.

- Are you worried?
- What?

That he might have cared about me?

Did he?

Don't sweat it, Catherine.
He was just another trick.

Did you care about him?

You know, he told me
all about you once.

He said you were perfect.

You were the perfect wife.

I was the perfect plaything.

Well, he had it all
figured out, didn't he?

Yeah.

But now it's our turn.
What have you got there?

The obligatory condolence
cards. "With sympathy."

"With deepest sympathy."

"With sympathy and understanding."

Oh, good. A bill.

$225 for the delivery
of a floral arrangement.

Good lord, what are the
flowers made of in Brentwood?

Platinum?

I suppose Donald sent these to you.

Are you kidding?

I get flowers at Safeway for
$2.49 and buy 'em myself.

So who do you suppose
he sent these flowers to?

Well, that's easy enough to find out.

What do I do?

Look like a collector.

Do what I do.

Next item is lot number 10.

A very fine Bogota reliquaire.

We shall start the bidding at 2,000.

I'm terribly sorry,
this is a private auction.

Invitation only.

Yes, well, I'm Mrs. Donald Todsen

and my husband has the invitation.

He's meeting us here.

And I suppose...

this person is also
on our guest list?

This person just happens
to be the Baroness...

- Kaminsky.
- Kaminsky.

- Baroness.
- Baroness.

- Quite.
- Now.

If you could tell us where we
might find Victoria Van Adams.

Oh, she's over there.

Against the wall.

6,000, excellent.

The woman in the back? 7,000.

She's gorgeous.

You don't suppose Donnie
was cheating on us, do you?

Well...

Let's find out.

And in the front row? 10,000.

Ms. Van Adams?

Yes?

We're sergeants Friday and...

- Thursday.
- Monday.

All week long. LA Bunco.

We're investigating an art
forgery case, very hush-hush,

and we need your help.

Yes?

Last week you were
sent a floral arrangement

by a Mr. Donald Todsen.

How did you know that?

That's our job.

We were wondering,

what is the nature of your
relationship with Mr. Todsen?

I run an art gallery.

Donald Todsen is one of my clients.

He wanted to sell his
collection of Pre-Columbian art.

And I gave him a rather
substantial advance.

There is no Todsen on my list.

You'll both have to
leave immediately.

Look, slime eyes, don't touch me

unless you got a
C-note in your pocket.

I'm a baroness.

We were doing just fine in there

until you opened your big mouth.

With your line of bull?
"All week long?" What is that?

Oh, and what about your
lurid proposition to that man?

Hey, I got a proposition for you:
You're on your own.

Oh, and better off for it.
Good luck.

- Oh, good luck to you.
- Better luck to you.

Gee, I'm sorry, Mrs. Todsen,

but it appears that none
of your cards are valid.

No, no, now that can't be.
My cards are all gold.

- No, I tried them.
- Every one of them.

Well, I tried them all.
They're overdue and overdrawn.

- That can't be.
- They've been canceled.

I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to confiscate them.

- No, not my card, please.
- It's policy.

Oh!

Oh. Oh!

You know, there's a little
place right down the street

called We Rent Wrecks.

All you need is 10 bucks...

And a prayer, heh.

I can't believe it, Catherine.

There's nothing left, Frank.

He even borrowed on
our life insurance policy.

What about that
bond fund and the...

- No, he liquidated everything,
cashed out everything.

What was he up to, Frank?
You're his best friend.

I mean, what was Donald thinking?

Boy, I don't know.

He'd been tense for a long time,

but we've all been
tense with this market

going up and down like this.

I don't know.

I guess he was really on the edge

and I just didn't see it.

Well...

Guess I didn't see it either.

Catherine.

I'll help you in any way I can.

I care about you so much.
If there's anything I can do.

Look.

I don't want you to be
worried about money

at a time like this,
it's hard enough.

And if this isn't enough,
I want you to tell me, okay?

Well, thanks, Frank.

Would you please do me a favor,

and stay away from that...

The, that...

You know.

Marla?

Yeah. Marla.

I won't be seeing Marla anymore.

Beverly! Hang on.
I gotta talk to you.

Hey, I got nothing to say.

Beverly! You've got to
tell me what's going on.

Hey! Don't press me.

Now why don't you do yourself a favor

and just stay out of it?

Please don't do this to me.

Look, I can't talk here,

so why don't you meet me
after work at my place?

But you gotta promise
me that you won't say

I told you anything.

Yeah.

Marla, you got a customer waiting.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Yeah, and so is Christmas.

Hey, Beverly,
looking damn good, yeah.

Hey, Marla, what's happenin'?

Don't tell me,
change for the machine.

Hey, Tony.

Need a little cleanup, man.

Hey, nice color.

On you.

- You gotta throw the ball.
- I know!

The game is called baseball.

The fielders standing around
out there, they get fed up,

they get bored,
they can't play the game.

I know.

Hello!

What are you doing here?
Didn't you see this?

Oh, I ducked under that.

- What do you have back there?
- Where?

- Behind your back.
- Nothing.

Let me see your hands.

The other hand.

Both hands.

- What is this?
- Oh, that's sentimental.

- It is not sentimental!
- Well, it is sentimental.

- This is sentimental!
- That is sentimental.

This isn't.

I can explain this. Let me
explain it to you, please.

You see, what's happened
is I think I've uncovered...

- No, no, no, stop!
- I'm trying to help you.

Now, something is going on...

This is the end of it.
I warned you before.

The next time you
interfere in police business,

you are going to jail.

- Just listen to me.
- Stay out of it!

Beverly!

Beverly, you here, hon?

Marla?

Marla!

Marla?

There you are. But then, where else?

Marla, I went to Donald's
office like you told me to do

and I found his appointment book.

Unfortunately Stryker walked
in and took it away from me.

You're hopeless.

But not before I
managed to rip this out.

Donald's last day.

Come on, Marla. Give me some credit.

Beverly's dead.

What?

Someone gave her a hot shot.

They wanted to make it
look like an accident.

But it wasn't an accident.

Thank you.

Come on, Marla, eat your hamburger.

It'll make you feel better.

Told you I don't eat red meat.

It depresses me.

Well, then at least eat the bun.

The sesame seeds are good for you.

Yeah, and ketchup's a vegetable.

Look, Marla, I know
how awful you must feel.

I know Beverly was your friend.

But you've gotta pull
yourself out of it, Marla.

Remember, it's us
or the freakin' witch.

Atta girl.

So can you make anything
out of this calendar page?

Well, it looks like a typical day.

Haircut, lunch at Jimmy's
with Margolis. Who's Margolis?

- He's a client.
- Oh.

Work out with trainer.
Racquetball game after work.

Our dinner party.

Well, no wonder Donnie had
money problems. He never worked.

Bolero '76. What's that?

It's a wine.

Did you serve it
that night at dinner?

Don't be ridiculous!

Donald brought up a '66 Château
Lafite from the wine cellar.

The wine cellar.

The wine cellar!

Donald kept bottles down there

with phony bottoms to hide things in.

He got them during
the '70s for his pot.

When we did that sort of thing.

You smoked pot?

We've gotta get to the house, Marla.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You smoked pot?

You'd never know it to
look at me, would you?

Do you have a gun?

Donald and I voted against guns.

So did I, but we need a gun.

Well, doesn't it take several
weeks to register one?

Not in the real world.

You know, Marla, I don't mind
coming to a place like this,

but I would've liked
to have had a dessert,

like a tapioca pudding or...

Oh! Oh, fortune cookies.

Fortune condoms.

Oh! Lord.

Hi, Larry, how you doing?

Look, could you tell
Al I'm here, please?

Oh, here we go. Edible...

- Undies.
- Oh gosh!

Oh my goodness.

Look at this stuff.

Well, now these are kind of cute,
these little teddy bears.

Their little matching
leather outfits.

Oh, Marla! Marla,
what is that thing?

What is that?

And what is that? That's so huge!

With those, those, those
things sticking out from...

Oh, you don't actually
plug that thing in, do you?

- No, that would be extra.
- Oh.

What are you supposed
to use that for, huh?

Putting out fires.
It's a fire extinguisher.

Oh yeah.

Oh, now. This.

This is truly disgusting.

Look at these clothes,
would you? I mean, this...

Don't you have something like this?

I mean, with the little
belt with the skull on it?

Marla?

Hey, sweetheart.
Gee, it's nice to see you.

Hi, Al. Good to see you too.

Al, I want you to meet Catherine.

Catherine, Al.

- Hello Catherine.
- Hello, Al. Nice to meet you.

Nice place you have here.

Al, we need a gun.

Well, glad to see you
finally came to your senses.

I've been after her for
years to get something.

Oh, me too.

Come on in the back. I'll
see what I can do for you.

- Great, we got a gun.
- Yes, well, you hold the gun.

I'll try to figure out a
way to get us into the house

without being eyeballed.

Eyeballed?

Eyeballed, you know. Spied upon.

I wouldn't touch
that rail if I were you.

Pizza.

- Pizza?
- Catherine, we're in.

My house charge at
Mario's finally paid off.

- Don't turn on the lights!
- You're right!

Someone could be
watching the house.

Now, I think this is the...

Yes, this is the vegetarian.

Catherine, forget the pizza.
Where's the wine cellar?

Oh, the answer phone will get that.

- Okay.
- Pick up in a minute.

Hi, this is
Catherine. I'm not home.

And Donald's dead.
Leave a message.

Take as long as you want.

Yeah, Catherine, this is Frank again.

So to bother you, but I
didn't hear back from you

and I'm starting to worry.

- Forget Frank!
- I want to talk to him!

Will you please give me a call

as soon as you get the message?

- Wait, he's worried.
- Bye.

Dedicated.

You always work this late?

Who are you?

A client, of Don's.

I didn't catch your name.

Oh, I'm sorry, Frank
Stedman. You must be...

Well, now wait a minute.

What's the gun for?

Gun, he's got a gun.

- We've gotta call the police.
- No, wait, we can't!

Frank's on the phone.

Tell me, Frank.

Why is Don's office sealed off?

There been trouble, Frank?

Well, none I can think of.

Well, Donald's dead.

That's trouble.

Sit down, Frank.

Yeah, thanks.

Close friends?

- Yes, we were.
- Great.

Then you can tell me

who's gonna see about
giving us back our $700,000.

Your close friend, rest his
soul, liked to gamble. A lot.

$700,000?

You mean $700,000 in gambling?

Yeah, Donnie liked to gamble.

Yeah. Too bad he wasn't good at it.

Well, I wish I could help.

We'll get it.

Somehow.

My boss...

Is a very motivated man.

So, Frank.

From now on...

You be more careful how
you pick your friends.

Frank.

Don't work so hard. Stress.

Can kill you.

Frank?

What?

- Catherine.
- Frank, are you all right?

- Yes, I'm fine.
- He's fine.

Good, good. Come on, let's go.

Oh, I have to go now, Frank.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Catherine, this is getting
out of hand. What's going on?

We're disguised as pizza
men right now and we...

Ciao, Frank.

Catherine, wait!

Oh, this is just great.

I'm going to end up owing
some gangsters $700,000.

You find my financial status
amusing?

- What financial status?
- What?

Oh, come on, Catherine,
lighten up.

You're not the only one
losing revenue, you know.

And what revenue
are we speaking of?

All right, all right,
there's Arnie on Monday

and there's the senator on Tuesday,

there's the Texas
oil twins and, oh no.

- Not the Texas oil twins.
- Well, you know something,

I'm not broke.

I mean, all these
bottles of La Tache alone

must be worth $4,000.

Well, there you go.

See, the American dollar's
soft against the franc,

so you may not be as bad
off as you think you are.

I could have a garage sale.

If you had a garage.

Yeah, what would I need a garage for?

- You don't have a car.
- I don't have a car.

Oh, I don't think that's funny.

Where is that bottle of Bolero?

This is it!

- Okay, okay, okay.
- That's it.

It was worth at.

- It's in the bottom there.
- That's great!

Oh my god.

Bank of Bakersfield.

- What's in there? What is it?
- Coins.

What would be Donald
be doing with coins

from the Bank of Bakersfield?

Bank of Bakersfield.

Where have I seen that before?

That is the vilest
wallpaper I have ever seen.

Would you stop with
the interior decorating?

We're looking for something here.

Must you?

Must you?

Look! Look at this.

I've never seen one of these before.

We don't bank in Bakersfield.

Oh my lord.

"Armored car."

Do you suppose this was a heist?

Bank of Bakersfield.

Tony hid an armored car!

That's a federal offense.

Armored car robbery in Buffalo.

Armored car robbery
in New Brunswick.

I can't look at any more
microfilm, Marla.

I feel my crow's feet are setting in.

I've got some great eye cream.

Oh, nothing works.

I've tried everything on the market.

Let me see.

Oh, yours aren't bad. Mine
are much worse than that.

You?

Yeah, I'm eventually
gonna have to get 'em done.

Oh, no! Your eyes look great!

- Really?
- Yes!

I mean, if you need yours done,

then I should've had
mine done years ago.

Would you crank? You crank.

Whoa! Wait, stop.

Stop. Get a load of this.

"An armored car was
ambushed yesterday

when the driver
stopped to aid a woman

who appeared to have been
injured in a car accident."

"Taken were $5 million
in bearer bonds,

$700,000 in gold
double eagle coins,

and $500 in quarters.

The suspects, who are still at large,

include the woman who,
was apparently the decoy,

and four men,
say Bakersfield police."

Four men. Okay, okay.

Tony, Eddie...

- The thug.
- The thug.

- The thug driver.
- Thug driver.

Do you think Beverly was the decoy?

Probably. They thought
they hit the jackpot.

Only there's no money and
the bonds are worthless.

Unless of course they have a broker

who could convert them into...

Cash.

Donald!

- Yes!
- Yes!

Wait, wait! Tony and Eddie!

Tony and Eddie must have paid him off

- in the double eagle coins.
- Oh yeah. And...

Well, if he did convert
the bonds at Bryce Dunbar,

I know how to find out.

Okay, Catherine, here's
what you're asking about.

It's Donald's full commission report.

Thanks, Frank. Let's see.

That's not the...

Here we go. Right here.

Right here,
Donald converted $5 million

two days before he was killed.

- Yes.
- He what?

Oh, Donald was associating
with some lowlifes

who robbed an armored car.

Catherine, what are
you talking about?

- We're outta here, Frank.
- Right.

Aren't you gonna
tell me about this?

Oh, next week we'll have lunch.

It's been real, Frank.

Catherine!

$5 million.

Where would he have put it?

Well, his plane left at 2:40,

which means he had
to hide it somewhere

between your place and the airport.

That's it!

His car!

Yes! The police impounded his car.

Turn left there.

Now what, Marla?

Okay.

Okay, you fluff the guard,
I'll hot-wire the car.

I don't know what that means,
"Fluff the guard."

Flirt with him,
get his temperature up.

Oh, no, no. I can't do that.

Catherine, have you
ever been in a play?

Yes, in high school.
I was in "The Sound of Music."

Don't tell me:
You were Mother Superior.

How did you know that?

Stretch.

- Go!
- Marla...

Can I help you?

Well, you know,

I saw you sitting in there all alone

and I thought to myself,

"How lonely that poor man must feel."

- Really?
- Yes.

I mean, with nothing to do all day

but sit in that little booth

and look at nothing but empty
cars with empty back seats.

Does get kinda lonely.

Oh, really?

I got these chapped lips.

Oh, that's too bad.

No. No, thank you.

Would you like to come into my booth

and listen to some music?

I got the new Jim Nabors cassette.

♪ God didn't make
little green apples ♪

♪ And it don't rain in
Indianapolis in the summertime ♪

♪ There's no such thing
as Dr. Seuss ♪

♪ Disneyland and Mother Goose,
no nursery rhyme ♪

We got company.

Great. They got company,
we got company.

You want I should
radio for a caterer?

Isn't police work thrilling?

Yeah, it's a thrill.

It's too bad I forgot
my bulletproof vest.

Where you going, Tanya?

Bible study class!

I thought we had a connection!

Go.

Go, go, go!

Please wait, Tanya!

Am I ever gonna see you again!

Okay, so now where are we going?

- We're going back to Al's.
- Oh, no.

Not that horrible place again.

No, he's an expert
at ripping cars apart.

He even did time for it.

Oh, well that's comforting.

You know, you were
really good back there.

Tanya.

What are they doing?

Well, based on my 20 years
experience on this job,

I'd say they were
tearing a Mercedes apart.

No, let me rephrase that question.

Why are they doing that?

God, this brings back memories.

Bolts popping. Car body
like putty in your hands.

Kinda like the good
ol' days, huh, Al?

Don't get him started.

Listen, you kids don't
know what it was like.

We knew how to make a
stash job look smooth.

Yeah, well, that's what's
wrong with the world today,

you know, no class.

You're telling me.
No job pride anymore.

Hey! You're doing great, girls.

Not bad, huh?

I'm gonna go make
us some fresh coffee.

Oh, that'd be lovely, Al.
Decaf if you have it.

Be a pleasure. I haven't
had this much fun in years.

So! What's it gonna be, Marla?

Tex-Mex? Chinese?

Italian? We can order out.

I swear, you are the most

orally fixated person I've ever met.

I told you, I like to eat
several small meals a day.

What's wrong with this thing?

Marla?

Catherine?

Marla, look at this.

Now, whose phone number
would Donald hide in there?

Well, let's find out.

Well, we can't on this phone.

- Well, let's use Al's.
- Right.

Al!

Hey, Al, can we use your phone?
I think we found...

Surprise.

- Let's go in.
- Wait a minute.

Go in there now and
they're gonna claim

they're buying party
favors or something.

Let's give 'em a little
time to make it interesting.

Two days are up, ladies.

Yeah! You got something nice for us?

Yeah.

Not in this lifetime.

Even if we did, you'd never get it.

You killed my husband, you murderer.

Us? Why would we kill him
before we got our money?

You're a lying murderer.

Donald was up to his ass in trouble.

Could've been anyone did him.

Yeah, well, it wasn't anyone

who knocked off an armored truck.

That's right.
We found the quarters.

Well, how we got 'em is our business.

I told you you shouldn't
have taken 'em!

You're a stupid idiot!

I took 'em, okay,
because the pinball machines

were always running outta quarters.

Well, what about Beverly?
Which one of you offed her?

Offed?

What the hell did you do?

You said you were just
gonna keep her quiet.

Yeah, well, she's
quiet now, ain't she?

Hey, hey, hey!

That sounds interesting.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Now what do we do?
- I don't know.

All right, nobody move!

Everybody freeze!
Police!

Everybody assume the position,
thank you very much.

Glad you could make it, Delroy.

Is that right?

Watch out!

He's got a gun!

Get out! Get yourself up there!

Get down!

Oh, what the...

Son of a...

Ladies?

Can you give me one good reason
why we shouldn't arrest you?

Yeah. We solved your crime.

Almost. These are the
men who killed my husband.

- The thugs, right?
- Thugs.

They told you they
killed your husband?

Yeah, and if you're real nice to us,

we'll tell you everything.

First thing in the morning.

All right, eight o'clock,
my office, you buy the donuts.

You buy the donuts.
I don't get up till 10.

Nine o'clock.

Croissant.

And decaf.

I don't believe it.

I mean, we go to all
that trouble to get a gun

and then you don't even shoot
anybody, you shoot a wall.

I mean to shoot a wall.

Give me the number.
What's the number?

All right. Well, let's see.

Five, five, five.

Two, seven.

Three, one.

Oh-ho!
Morning clouds tomorrow...

Yeah, right. Donnie was
into the Weather Wizard, yeah.

All right, all right.

What if it's not a phone number?

I mean, what if it's a
combination or something,

like a combination to a lock?

Like Donald had written on
the Rolodex in the study.

Okay, it's a combination
to a lock. A lock to what?

When I was in Donald's office,

all his gym stuff was
in his desk drawer.

So it's in his locker at the gym.

- Yes. Give me a quarter.
- Okay.

I'll call Frank.
He'll get us into the gym.

Here, come on in.
His locker's right down here.

Now, Frank, see, it's written
like a telephone number,

but we thought if you
dropped the first number

and used the next six
numbers as a combination,

then it would open the lock.

Right, but...

But, you see, that's not Don's
combination, I'm telling you.

His combination is 18-22-25.

You do it, you're good with zippers.

Any money?

Beach clothes. Rio.

Everything but the straw hat.

Well, obviously he
was gonna stop here

on his way to the airport,

so let's look at this
number again and think.

Wait a minute. What if the
five is the locker number?

What if he didn't drop the five

- and the rest
- You mean five?

- Yes!
- Locker number five.

Yes, and the rest
is the combination.

- Where's five?
- It's right over here.

Oh!

Come on, open it.

- Oh my goodness.
- Ooh, yes.

- Oh my goodness.
- Wait a minute.

There was something in
Donald's locker, just...

Look! Oh, Marla!

- Look at this.
- Catherine!

- We did it! We did it!
- We did to it!

Hey, girls! Girls!

Come over here! Look what I got!

Okay!

Put the bag down, right now, slowly.

Thank you.

Oh, Frank, no.

Not the best friend.

Oh, yeah, let me tell
you about my best friend.

You know, when they came to Don

with this idea of
cashing stolen bonds,

Catherine, he thought it was great.

And then he got scared.

He was afraid he
was in over his head.

And so, as always, he said,

"Frank! You solve it!"

And I said, "Sure, Donald,"
as always.

But then he double-crossed me.

I knew he was smooth,

but I never dreamed he was
capable of anything so clever.

So...

So when I...

Shot him, I assumed the money
was still in his bank account.

But apparently he'd cashed
it all out the day before.

So, you see, I never would've
found it without your help.

What can I say? Thank you.

You're welcome.

Which way? I can't see anything!

Is he behind us?

Shh, shh, shh!
Right here, right here!

Where?

Catherine?

Come on, Catherine.

Come on out here, I've got
a gun. Don't make me use it!

All right, all right!
I see you, come on.

Go out the door and get in the car.

You are one sick ticket, Frank.

I thought you cared about me, Frank.

Catherine, I do care about you.

Not a lot, but I care.

Hollywood Division, Bremell speaking.

Yeah, I think they're here.
Let me check, hold on.

Stryker! Delroy!

You know, Marla, your
profession has served us well.

So this is what $5 million looks like.

Say, Catherine.

If this was our money,
what would you do with it?

Oh, but it's not our money.

Yeah, but just say that it is.

Well, but it isn't.

Can't you fantasize about anything?

Well, let's see.

I'd buy a house
and I'd buy a car...

Come on, fantasize.
Have fun with this.

Okay.

I'd get myself a
leather top like yours.

In beige?

No, in a dusty rose.

How 'bout you?

Let's see. You know...

I would really like to
have a bed like yours,

like that canopy bed
with the lace all over it.

I thought that was really pretty.

- Where are they?
- In here.

Very nice.

This guy's alive. Cut him down.

I knew you couldn't just go
home and stay out of trouble.

Well, thank you,
thank you very much.

Well, at least we called you, Delroy.

Thank you very much.

Now if those other guys
were the thugs, who's he?

Oh, that's Donald's best friend.

- And murderer.
- What?

Here's a weapon.

And $5 million.

It's a long story.

We're all ears.

Well, my friend Catherine

really can't talk on
an empty stomach.

In the pursuit of justice,

we have missed many important meals.

Well, come on,
I'll buy you both a cup of coffee.

- What do you say?
- How 'bout a reward?

How 'bout an apology?

Wait outside, we'll catch
up with you, all right?

Well, hurry up. I'm starving.

Now, isn't that funny? I'm not.

Just when I thought
we'd agree on something.

What, and spoil a
perfect relationship?

Where are my cigarettes?

- They're back there.
- What?

You gave up smoking.

- When?
- Three minutes ago, Marla.

- Why would I do that?
- Because it's bad for you.

Come on, forget it.

So now that all this is over,
are you going back to hooking?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

At least until I get that
stockbroker thing together.

What about you?
What are you gonna do?

Well, I have a B.A.
in romance languages

and a masters in English literature.

You need a job.

I need a job.
