Hey, guess who I saw in town.

Who'd you see in town?

Oh, an old friend of ours by the name of Falcon Eddie.

You sure you saw him?

Positive.

Had a black eye patch.

Courtesy of Tom Jordache.

Who's Falcon Eddie?

He's just a mean nobody.

Where is he, Pop? Come on, help me with this thing, will you?

Pull this over. You can tie this one down.

There you go. Wes, tie that down, will you?

I'll watch you.

You know, Pinky said it a long time ago, and he was right.

You don't have to be a bloody Farouk to live like a king.

It's a pretty true course, doesn't it?

But it's his old man.

I think you've done a pretty good job with him.

Okay.

It's a good life.

Yes, it is.

All of us together, sharing.

Tell them one thing that would make it perfect.

What?

A radar.

What'd I do now?

What'd I do now?

It's what you didn't do.

This time I was going to say yes.

Okay, I'm asking you.

Then I'm saying yes.

But only for one reason.

What's that?

Just don't think that it would be fair to leave your

second son without a name.

Kate, you know what we're going to have? A baby.

Yeah, I know we're going to have a baby.

We're going to have the greatest wedding that Zelda Francis ever did.

Hey, wait.

Take it easy. We got plans to make.

And Roxy is

with

me.

What time do you get to Washington?

Late this afternoon.

I'm going to catch that new shuttle plane out of New York.

Well, I wish you luck.

It's the top of the mountain, really.

You've got the support of these people, there's no telling where you can go in

politics. Oh, well, Marsh says it's strictly a matter of shaking hands,

acquaintances. Excuse me, Mr. Jordache.

Somebody from the paper.

All right, thank you.

Yes?

This is he.

They did.

Have you called the police?

No, damn it, I want them arrested.

What is it?

The kids from the school just busted our window.

Seems they didn't like our editorial position on the ROTC. The limousine just

drove up, Mr. Jordache.

You get Chief Utterman on it.

Oh, and have Terry do an editorial in a box.

Draw parallels between the new left and the early days of Hitler. Freedom of

speech, it's a two -way street, so on. That's right.

Okay.

Let's go, I'm going to miss my plane.

May I speak to you a minute, sir? Can't wait.

It's about Mr. Giordano.

Well, I'm off.

Have a nice time.

I'm not going there to have a nice time.

Well, have whatever kind of time you're going there to have.

You're in a pretty mood.

Sorry, I've got this little ping -pong game going on inside my head this

morning. I'm not really at my best.

Have you had a drink this morning?

What is this, 20 questions?

Just one.

Have you had a drink this morning?

Did I ever tell you how much I hate it when you get that patient tone in your

voice? The fact is you're half zonked. The fact is I had a beer. One beer.

You better get going or you'll miss your plane.

Well, maybe I better stay.

Oh, I am going to be fine. I really am tip -top.

Look, I don't want to harp on this. Will you stop it? Will you please stop it?

You better pull yourself together, Julie.

What brought all this on?

Have you taken a good look at yourself lately?

You really ought to cheer a girl up, buddy.

I am not trying to cheer you up. I am trying to get through to you. You have

a problem, and you'd better start facing it.

Well, just in case you're wondering, this isn't exactly helping.

Well, you mean I'm driving you to drink?

Oh, come on.

You've got enough excuses without that.

The poor lady, her son joined the army so she drank.

She lost her baby so she drank.

Her husband's up in Albany all the time so she drank.

She gave up her career. She had a hysterectomy. The cat had kittens. They

the wrong wallpaper.

It rained on her birthday.

You don't need another excuse, honey. You've got a million of them.

You left out the best one.

Just anything's enough to set you off.

The one about the poor lady, her marriage went out the window?

You said it.

I didn't.

Well, it's true, isn't it?

Well, maybe we better face up to that fact, too.

When I get back.

Rudy.

Look, we will finish this when I get home. Why don't you try to get some

Call Fetterman. He'll give you a shot.

I'll call you from Washington.

And for God's sake, stay off the booze.

Rudy. Marsh.

Is something wrong?

There's been a problem up at Whitby. I've got a plane standing by at

You better get back and see what can be done.

Well, what's the problem? Some kids were picketing your house.

What were the police called?

All I know is some rocks were thrown.

Your wife came to the door.

One of the kids got some pictures. Apparently she was pretty drunk.

Oh, swell.

That's not all.

When she came to the door, she was naked.

And where the hell were you all this time, Chief?

I had Roberts and Martin there to keep them out of your garden.

In the Chief's defense, Mr. Senator, it didn't seem like any big deal.

What happened was, one of the kids started to throw rocks.

And when Roberts and Martin went after him, the front door opened. What more

I tell you?

You can tell me that some arrests have been made.

You can tell me that the whole system of law in this country doesn't just curl

up and die because some 18 -year -old socioeconomic philosopher declares it's

irrelevant. Now, Rudy. You can tell me that people are not allowed to stone my

house and invade my privacy with impunity. Now, Rudy. If that is the sum

contribution, Mr. Mayor, I've heard it. You can just stop. All I wanted to say

is the kids put it as cool as the kids.

I think we can minimize the political damage, if any, by keeping a low profile

on this.

Excuse me, sir. Yes, Robert, what is it? These pictures.

They're passing them out on campus.

Where are they getting these made?

At the school paper, I think, sir.

They're with the student union passing them out.

See if you can get the city attorney, will you, Chief?

Yes, sir.

City attorney's office.

Beloved generation.

Vicious little creeps.

What are you doing?

I'll kick a few relevant behinds.

Really? Wait.

Mr. Senator, please don't go up there without a warrant.

In the language of flowers, a rose means let's talk.

I didn't know that.

I just made it up.

Don't make me laugh. I'm not that sure of my stomach yet.

I looked in on you last night, but you were asleep.

Fenneman didn't want me to wake you.

No, he told me.

What else did he tell you?

The whole thing.

I guess I really did it this time.

Rudy, I don't even know how to begin to apologize.

You see, in a couple of weeks, it would have been forgotten.

I thought I'd finished you politically.

No, I finished myself.

That stunt I pulled was totally unforgivable. I'm dead.

I should be.

What the hell, that's probably just as well.

What does Mark Goodwin say?

I think he's avoiding me.

He always did have a lot of class.

You can't blame Marsh. I'm the one who pushed the girl into it.

How is she doing?

I brought Margolis up to see her. He's the eye man from Johns Hopkins.

And?

He can give her 85 % vision in the left eye and 75 % in the right.

God, I can never forgive myself for that.

Did you talk to her?

Yeah.

She's sitting down there.

And she's got a big white bandage all over the top of her head.

And she said... She said we...

We better all start learning to love each other.

Or the world.

God.

It's all right, Rudy.

It's all right.

If we really tried, there'd be some kind of a chance for us.

Maybe.

Maybe if I could give up booze and you got out of this racket,

maybe there'd be a chance.

I want that chance, Julie.

I really do.

Monsieur Dash and his beautiful bride. They came to us as strangers, but now

they are part of us. All happiness forever.

I guess. He's a door gunner in a helicopter.

What do you want? Everyone else gets a young hippie. I get John Wayne Jr.

Some kind of guy.

The best.

Of which there is no witcher! My brother!

What's that?

I don't know. Jorash!

Jorash! To join us!

Me?

To Tom Kane.

Why don't you open it and find out? All right.

Hold me.

It's a radar!

A radar!

Rudy,

you remembered.

We thought it would be a...

This is the greatest damn...

Fortunately for the future breed, though, this is merely technicality.

Listen, would anyone like a drink or sandwiches?

I was just thinking about Tom.

It's the craziest thing.

What is?

Oh, what's happened to him, don't you see it? I mean, you think about what he

used to be and what he is now.

How people love him, his son, his wife, his friends.

Surrounded by love.

It's just amazing how he's changed.

Haven't we all?

Yeah.

But he's changed for the better.

Bye.

Madame?

Cognac de foie, s 'il vous plaît.

Oui, madame.

Vous êtes américain?

Yes.

Me too.

Mind if I sit down?

Help yourself.

Enchanté.

Oh, I think you'd like another one of those, wouldn't you?

Hey, garçon, encore une tournée ici.

Biggie, what is it? What do you want?

I've just seen your sister -in -law.

Where was she?

At the striptease club. It's, you know, the Port Rose on the Roo Watson.

Do you remember?

Was she drinking?

Drinking? Oh, mate, she was drunk.

Shh, shh, shh.

Was anybody with her? Yes, that's the thing, you see. She was with a rather

big... Yankee was a one -eyed bloke. A nasty bit of good he was, too.

Do you know him? No, I don't know him at all. But I asked about him.

Somebody said, uh, Farinetti.

Oh, can any?

Yeah, that's it. Yes, you've heard of him? Yeah, I had a little run -in with

once. Oh, dear. Yeah.

Thanks, Pinky. Yeah.

Hey, go get drunk.

I never touched the stuff.

You go back to sleep.

I'm going to be all right.

Go back to sleep.

Oui, monsieur?

Whiskey.

That American girl was in here in a peach dress.

I do not remember.

Yeah.

She was with a big guy named

Falcon Eddie.

He had one eye and a patch on it.

Behind the toilet was found an escalier.

Perhaps down there one finds what one seeks.

Be careful.

Understand.

Bad man.

Bad friend.

I'll write this miniature in my way.

I just came to get the lady, Falcon, Eddie.

You'll get it, Alf.

I didn't come here to fight.

I just came here to take the lady home.

You're on. Yeah.

You okay?

Yeah.

Listen, tell him anything you want and I'll back you up, okay?

You're a solid citizen, Tom.

Smile when you say that, stranger.

You'd better get some sleep.

Honey?

Come on.

Come on, I told you.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Thank you.

Yeah. Could have been worse.

Care to tell Mommy all about it?

Oh, Mommy.

Well, there's nothing to tell.

Except one thing.

What's that?

I could have killed a man.

I didn't.

Rudy, I just want to say that there were... Look, maybe this conversation is

better way till we both feel better.

It's going to have to be said sooner or later.

He told me that he was a friend of Tom's, Foglietti's something, it doesn't

really matter.

I was having a brandy and he came over and sat down next to me. Would you just

tell me why, Julie?

After we've been through the hospital, we've been through the ranch... I don't

know.

Maybe it was seeing Tom and Wes so happy and thinking about Billy.

It's such a lousy excuse for a mother. Oh, come on, Julie. We're just people.

don't really have the right to expect ourselves to be perfect.

I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to stop drinking.

Well, all you can do is try.

Maybe it would just be the best thing for both of us if we broke it off now.

Is that the way you feel?

Yes.

Maybe you're right.

Let's decide it now.

Ah, monsieur, pardon, excusez -moi de vous déranger, mais je cherche le yacht

Corsair. On m 'a dit qu 'il se dockait par ici, mais je vois pas.

No, there's no boat Corsair. Mais non, vraiment, on m 'a dit que c 'est par

Ah,

what?

On m 'a dit que c 'est par ici.

On a docké par ici. Ah!

Rudy? I'd like to see you.

I want you to take his hand.

Kate, sit here. It's okay with you.

Okay.

I'm not going to cry, Kate.

It was worth crying for.

I'm really not going to cry.

Why don't you take her in now?

Why?

I don't know.

I just don't understand it, you know?

It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Not everything sometimes isn't right.

It never has and it never will.

He died on the happiest day of his life.

That's not them.

Goodbye, my darling.
