Morning.

Hi.

This some kind of freaky-deak?

I can work with you.

How�d you sleep?

Good.

That�s my fibber�s buzzer.

I heard you up five or six times.

You mind my scoping an unfamiliar apartment out?

Just realize I count my utensils.

My sisters drew those pictures when they were little girls.

Yeah, I saw the one "to my brother Danny."

Yeah.

"C-cat"? That�s from my sister Laurie.

Serious, I had a tabby named "c-cat"

after how she spelled it in that picture.

Our dad passed when I was 6.

Our mom couldn�t keep US,

so she sent US to live over here with her sister.

I was born in Norway. You believe that?

Outside of Oslo.

Over here, we grew up in Albany.

So am I your first Norwegian screw?

Not even close.

It�s good that you kept

the pictures from your sisters.

They were presents they gave to me.

You give my place a good toss?

You never know, pal.

I know where your coffee is.

Do you want me to make you some?

You want to use my coffee maker?

You are so strange.

I�m the not one I awoke to find upside down

like an eerie creature of the night.

How�s it going, Katie?

Hi, Andy.

Did you drop off Theo at nursery school?

Yeah, I dropped him at school.

How was your meeting?

I didn�t go to my meeting.

I was counseling with a poor young man.

I need to ask you some advice.

Sure, Andy.

Theo�s getting willful,

almost disobedient, like.

In what way?

Disobedience --

he asks for different type foods and so forth.

So, different from what you�re used to preparing?

Look, I mean, I never confused myself

with a master chef.

And then he�s willful

with our after-school recreation.

Don�t like our rides no more

that I enjoyed walking around with him on.

That poor young crackhead

I met with this morning, Andy --

if you could see the place he was living in...

What�s that got to do with the concern

I just asked you about Theo, Katie?

Not to mention, what are you doing

going to a place

where a crackhead�s living at?

It was filthy -- pornography on his computer screen --

my god. Have you lost your mind?

He�s lost everything. He lost his girlfriend,

he lost his job, and she took his cat-- which she should�ve done

because he wasn�t feeding it anyway.

Well, this is just great, Katie.

Thank you very much for the good specific advice,

not to mention the peek into realizing

the crazy way you are living your life.

Do you have to go on a case?

That seems to be the drift of things, yes.

Do you have an immediate emergency,

or can I talk to Andy one more second?

Sure, no problem.

What, you want to tell me

the porno titles this guy�s watching?

That d. O. A.�s not going to get any more dead.

When you asked me about Theo --

why I was telling you about John, Andy --

John -- your good friend the crackhead porn fan?

In his room this morning, when he didn�t want any help,

I got so upset with John,

and the more upset I got, the more I was thinking

about his character defects,

but then, god gave me to understand

that past a certain point,

I couldn�t make myself feel better

by setting my own schedule for how he was supposed

to live his life.

I could only pray for his welfare,

that some steps John had to take alone,

and that came as a blessing to me,

accepting that.

If that helps with Theo...

I don�t know.

Anyways, I got to go.

I do, too. I�m going to a later meeting.

Take care, Andy.

Yeah.

I got to buy one of them rearing books.

Room clerk found the body, called it in.

We were securing the scene

when the smoke detector went off.

Cigarette in the bed, I guess.

The d. O. A.?

The firemen do their number,

which is why it�s wet.

And the crime scene�s trampled.

Martelli, where�s the body?

It�s in the bathroom.

Thank you.

Look at this poor guy.

Stab wounds, mutilation.

I�ll say. His dick�s gone.

Who is he?

Darryl conners, 34. Virginia driver�s license.

Clerk says he�d stay here regular,

bring in male prostitutes.

Well, let�s talk to him.

Right.

Excuse me.

This here�s the hotel clerk Larry hanson.

How you doing, Larry?

I�m kind of bowled over.

Yeah, it must have been a shock.

You know, when I first found Darryl,

he was wearing his rolex and a gold ring,

and when I went to identify Mr. Conners with the officer,

he wasn�t wearing any jewelry.

I have an image in my mind of that beautiful watch

against the porcelain of the bathtub.

What can you tell US about him?

He�d stay here once a month or so.

Comes up from Richmond.

Comes alone?

Yes, but he�d go find company pretty quickly.

Boys.

He was very candid with me.

Showed me his money clip of $100 bills.

"These will all be in strange men�s pockets

by the end of the night," he�d say.

How many guys would he bring up in a night?

Say four.

All right, we�ll look into that.

Hold on a second.

Me?

What�s your name?

Jeff chase. I�m checking out today.

You stay here last night?

Yes, but I didn�t see anything.

Okay, you got to wait up.

I didn�t see anything.

Just a guy -- maybe 27 with tattoos --

stormed into the hall, but that�s all I know. That�s all?

One�s a 10. One�s an 8 1/2.

Both lefts.

I�m booked to leave in two hours.

I wouldn�t be here to testify. I don�t live in New York.

You�re an eyewitness to a murder.

You got to stick around.

I got a ticket to Chicago. I have a gig.

Now you got a gig in the big apple.

Whoa.

I found the penis, guys.

I am Sonia Lopez. This is my son Jason

who I am reporting for stealing.

I�m not stealing.

You see this jacket? That�s expensive.

I�m detective Russell, Mrs. Lopez.

You can file your report with me.

Something has turned this boy from how he was raised.

Why don�t you and I talk in the coffee room?

This is detective Martinez and kirkendall.

Jason Lopez. Hi, Jason.

James Martinez, Jason.

His mother�s concerned because he came home with an expensive jacket.

And rollerblades. I didn�t steal any of it.

Come on in here, Sonia.

Let�s grab a seat and let me and detective kirkendall

hear your side of this.

I don�t steal, all right? I�m not a thief.

You know, sometimes mothers get wrong ideas

off being worried about their kids.

Yeah, my mother�s idea is wrong, all right?

Let her put me out. I don�t care.

Well, that�s no good, Jason.

Jill: So, Jason,

where did you get money for the things

your mom�s worried you might have stolen?

You know, I got a job doing computer graphics.

Your mom doesn�t know about that job?

She doesn�t understand computers.

Well, we need you to write down your boss�s name

so we can verify what you�re saying is true.

He never used to be bad,

but this teacher started influencing him.

What teacher?

He never used to steal.

Has to be her influence. He wants to impress her.

She�s the new thing in his life.

Could the jacket and rollerblades

have been gifts to Jason?

No, no, he�s stealing. It can�t be anything else.

He�s got to go to foster home

and a new school.

Say we verify what you�re telling US.

Won�t that mean you need work on communicating with your mom?

Yeah, I guess so.

How about your dad? You got your dad to talk to?

No, no dad.

So Jason says he earned the money

his mother�s worried about.

He wrote down where he works so we can check.

I ask if you�re working after school,

and you don�t say anything.

Anyways, let US check this information out.

Then we�ll see how you want to proceed.

I don�t think he�s got any job. I think it�s her influence.

We�ll look into things, Mrs. Lopez,

and then we�ll be in touch with you.

Now I got to take him to school to her influence,

my boy that I tried to raise right.

We�ll be in touch.

She thinks he�s involved with his teacher.

Involved how?

She thinks the teacher gave him

the rollerblades and jacket.

Jill: The computer store�s not open yet.

But I mean, involved with his teacher how?

Maybe we take a ride over to the computer store.

What are you doing in New York?

There was an open Mike I played at.

What time did you get back?

Around 3:00 a. M.

You heard fighting in darryl�s room?

Yeah.

I was having trouble with the,

the...

The electric key thing.

I was trying to figure that out

when this guy storms out, goes to the elevator --

the 27-year-old?

I sensed trouble.

Get to the tattoos.

The thing is I don�t vibe with New York.

Hey, did you hear me?

I can�t get mixed up in something

that brings me back here for a trial or whatnot.

Tattoos.

A blue dagger on his hand.

What else?

And the name Tommy on the back of the neck.

See, that�s extremely helpful to US.

Yeah, it�s good for you, sucks for me.

Look, I helped you out. Can you help me back?

What?

I�m maxed out on my credit cards,

no cash.

In fact, I still kind of owe the hotel.

We�ll do what we can.

This blows.

Detectives Russell and kirkendall.

You�re the owner?

That�s right.

Martin evers? Yeah.

Does a Jason Lopez work for you, Martin?

Take these on in, Donny.

Yeah, Jason Lopez is in my apprentice program.

Yeah? What�s that about?

Well, the program is essentially training kids,

exposing these kids to the work environment.

They do graphics, processing.

How many other kids in the program?

How many?

at present, jason�s the first, actually.

He�s the only apprentice.

Presently. Actually, that�s right.

Martin, is jason�s teacher Jenny Peters

involved in this someway?

I had him here one time and showed him around.

Favor to Jenny, exactly like you said.

She just said say he works here.

Look, she�s a good person.

She�s one of these Saint crusaders for latino kids.

She treats them really special.

You think she�s a crusader

for latino girls, too?

What are you imputing?

Nothing, Martin.

Stick around where we can find you.

Yeah. Thanks for your help.

So none of you ems�s was there prior to the cops?

Thank you very much.

Detective sipowicz?

That�s me, Andy sipowicz.

Denny Phillips.

You called me at the firehouse.

You were at the scene

at the ellsinor hotel this morning?

Cigarette in bed set it off.

Yeah, you�re also aware

that there was a homicide in that room?

That�s what all them cops were doing there.

Evidently there was a D.O.A. in the bathroom.

Evidently, yeah.

There�s been an allegation

cops might have took some jewelry from the d. O. A.

Whoo, whoo, whoo.

What is that, "whoo, whoo"? Are you a train whistle?

I don�t know about that.

You didn�t happen to see any jewelry?

No. Like I say, I didn�t even know

the guy was there till we were gone.

Nothing you can remember that would shed any light?

We were done. We left. Cigarette in the bed

didn�t have nothing to do with the guy�s death.

Back to the firehouse?

We were in and out -- five minutes.

No lives to save. We left. Yeah.

If you guys got personnel problems,

i�d just as soon stay clear of that.

Okay, thanks for coming by.

Sure thing.

Yeah.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, Andy, Andy.

Ooh, ooh, what, what?

The d. O. A. And his Johnson --

separate funerals?

Detective Russell or kirkendall?

Hi, i�m detective Russell.

Jenny Peters.

I�m Jason lopez�s English teacher.

We hadn�t gotten around to contacting you yet.

I�d like to set the record straight about Jason.

Jill, James.

Diane: This is detective Martinez, detective kirkendall.

How you doing?

Ms. Peters is here about Jason Lopez.

Who came to school this morning in tears

because his mother wants you to charge him as a thief.

What can you tell US about Jason?

He�s 15 years old.

He�s very mature emotionally.

He�s thoughtful and joyful,

and he writes poetry that would make you cry.

He�s bright?

He can have anything in the world,

and his mother wants to squander that.

She says jason�s been stealing.

No.

He turned up with new clothes

and couldn�t say where he got the money.

Jason makes money working. I got him that job,

so I can vouch that he�s definitely working.

Sonia is uneasy about your influence over Jason.

Well, let Sonia file a complaint.

I mean,

what is the problem here?

Do you have something against white people helping latinos?

No.

No, i�m not aware that we had that policy.

I�m not saying sonia�s not a good person.

She�s very sweet.

She doesn�t have sophistication.

We do try to keep our women simple.

I can teach Jason things that she can�t.

That�s why she resents me.

I guess she feels you�re overstepping, Ms. Peters.

I�ve been overstepping for 15 years.

I take these kids to the museum, to concerts.

They come to my home.

Have you had Jason in your home?

Yes. I want to help him.

He likes you helping him?

He depends on it.

All right, Ms. Peters, thanks for coming in.

I�ll do whatever it takes.

I have finally found a boy

who is completely worthy of my efforts,

and i�m not letting him fall by the wayside.

That�s very big of you.

Andy: Sipowicz.

You got the witness a hotel?

Yeah, we told Jeff, being it was

on the job�s nickel, he�d have to downgrade to travelodge level.

Yeah, we ran the tattoo he described on a perpetrator

through the catch unit.

Matches a Tommy bolomo --

a couple collars for gay prostitution.

You got an address for this male prostitute?

Just his mother�s.

You talked to the fire lieutenant?

Who had nothing. That was Richmond p. D.

Darryl had a big reputation down there cruising boys.

Yeah, stop the presses.

Richmond p. D. Will notify the family.

We got this tommy�s mug shot.

I suppose you want US to hit the fairy bars.

You want me to hit the fairy bars with them?

Yeah, hit the bars with them.

Fellas.

How you doing?

We�re looking for a male, white, late 20s.

Aren�t we all?

Tommy bolomo -- you recognize him?

Let�s see.

For god�s sake.

Yeah, he comes here, yeah.

Go put an apron on right now.

Why?

Why? Because your buttocks is exposed.

I wipe my hands on a towel exclusively.

Are you a big wit besides going through life

with your crack out in public?

You seen him today?

I was here five minutes before you strolled into my life.

I haven�t checked out the clientelle yet.

How many back rooms are there in this place?

Where�s your dungeons?

No dungeons.

Where�s your bathroom?

Right through the chain-link fence.

Sorry.

Andy, Andy, Andy.

What?

What am I doing?

You�re guarding the front door.

As what?

As Greg medavoy.

Hey, Tommy?

Tommy?

What are you knocking here for?

My name�s Steve.

Steve what?

Steve wynn.

I�m a casino owner.

This place is loaded with comedians.

I have to piss,

but how the hell can you urinate in this environment?

Andy.

Hey, Steve, how far

you coming along in that process?

You down to the paperwork yet?

Screw you.

Police. Open the stall

and pull up your pants.

My name�s not steve-- hey, hey.

And you don�t own casinos?

My name�s Tommy.

Check the neck.

Yeah, we know about the neck. We know about the scimitar.

How about you coming along for a ride, anyways?

We�ll give you some counseling

on adding roughage to your diet.

On what basis am I being in custody?

We�ll explain that at your next stopping place.

Interesting footwear there, Tommy.

Hey, leave my footwear out of this.

What, were you born with two right feet?

Get these things off me!

Is this our guy?

Can I take this off now?

Something stinks between this teacher

and Jason Lopez.

She�s got this dimwit at the graphics company

lying for him, plus she admits to having him at her home.

Just part of her effort to save downtrodden latinos.

You think she�s screwing around with him?

We don�t know, but that�s our guess.

That would be a felony, right?

She�s over 21. He�s under 16.

That would be rape three.

That�s an "e" felony.

You bringing the boy back in? I think we should.

The deal I would go for if I were you, Tommy --

you offer a full statement in exchange

for US not telling the whole world

that for at least 12 hours after you did this homicide,

you ran around with two right sneakers on your feet.

Is this supposed to be amusing?

Just tell US what happened

at the ellsinor hotel last night, Tommy,

between you and Darryl conners of Richmond.

I don�t know the guy.

Your trick last night with the fat ass.

Do I give your memory a jog, Tommy,

reminding you you stabbed the guy 47 times

and you cut his Johnson off?

Not guilty.

Tommy, you were seen leaving the crime scene.

The witness described to a "t"

that idiot scimitar you got on your wrist there,

and we found you in a gay toilet

with one of the d. O. A.�s sneakers on your feet.

All circumstantial.

What mutual agreement can we start with here, Tommy?

Is it fair enough to say

that you play for the other squad?

Meaning?

Meaning, Tommy, when given the whole smorgasbord

of places of concealment in this city,

you tend to hide among fruits.

So from where you�re sitting, that makes me queer?

And combined with US finding you running around

with two right sneakers, it makes you a queer moron.

So if you found me

in an automobile assembly plant,

you�d accuse me of being a car?

Help US out with that, Tommy.

I earn my living in a gay venue.

That�s all I do there.

A gay venue

is your occupational venue exclusively.

Period, end of story, as far as gay.

Homosexual behavior you might engage in

that�s strictly commercially motivated.

And I pitch exclusively. Here we go.

So your whole career,

coming up or here in the majors,

you never once received a fast ball

in the catcher�s mitt.

Correct. Exclusively.

Unfortunately for that story, Tommy,

we saw last night�s date.

I pitched to that guy exclusively.

No, Tommy, you could not successfully pitch

to that fat-ass catcher unless you got the tendency.

Wrong.

Tommy, he�s got a point.

The guy�s 5�9". He had to go 240 minimum.

You want to bring in any private enthusiasm?

I mean, for you to grab this guy�s popo,

you probably had to prop his belly roll

up there on the nightstand.

I didn�t grab popo.

He wanted a spanking, wanted to lick my feet,

and he wanted a bang in the ass.

I did not grab popo.

He says he didn�t do that, Andy.

Let that go.

Hey, i�ll let grabbing the guy�s popo go

once Tommy here explains to me

how he goes from spanking a guy,

letting him lick his feet,

giving him a commercial pop in the seat,

to stabbing him repeatedly

and cutting his popo off,

because to me --

call me crazy, but that suggests more

than a guy carrying his lunch bucket,

just showing up at his gay venue,

merely putting in a day�s work.

I think that�s back over the net to you, Tommy.

I will screw you, I will spank you,

and you can lick my feet,

but do not try kissing me.

Who is that addressed to?

It was addressed to the Richmond blimp.

You were that straightforward with this Darryl conners?

I am telling you the exact language that I used.

I mean, what part of that is so tough to understand?

Did you go into

the consequences with him, Tommy?

"I will do �x� and �y� to you,

you can do �z� to me --"

what�s "z" to me? You don�t do "z" to me.

Well, that�s like him licking your feet.

Okay. "Z" to me...

"But i�m on record, don�t you try �q,�"

which is kissy-face...

"Or i�ll stab you 47 times, cut your dick off,

and leave it in your underwear."

Look, I got the 150 bucks that he paid me,

that I earned.

I stopped at the sink to clean up a little,

and from out of nowhere,

this pig comes up alongside me, grabs my face,

and sticks his dirty, fat, wet tongue in my mouth.

Whoa, whoa.

I mean, what would you have done?

Say no more.

Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

I was, told to come in.

What�s going on, Jason?

Let me get the other detectives.

Can we have a man-to-man talk?

Sure. Why don�t we talk back there?

Are you going to arrest me?

I got to find out what�s going on,

but I don�t see you getting locked up.

I did something bad.

Honest to god,

I think this is going to be all right,

and you�re going to feel better,

whatever it is, getting it off your chest.

I�m, um,

i�m having relations with miss Peters.

We seduced each other mutually,

and if we have to,

we�re going to go to new Mexico,

but I don�t want to go,

and I didn�t ever want to have relations.

I don�t feel i�m as special as she says I am.

You know what, Jason?

Why don�t we go upstairs?

We got a totally unofficial room up there

where we could talk about this a little more,

but I promise you on this spot,

in front of this witness,

you�re not getting locked up,

and this is going to be all right, okay?

Hi, Jason.

Hi.

We need to get miss Peters back in here.

Jason confirmed what we were talking about.

Can�t I just write her a letter?

You�re not going to have to talk to her, Jason.

We�ll take care of the conversation.

I thought I was tough, getting double pierces.

How does putting a metal stud in your tongue

make you feel cool?

There�s our girl.

Hey, Jenny.

Where�s Jason? He wasn�t in class.

He�s at our station house.

What are you trying to do?

Come with US, Jenny.

I don�t think so.

You want to cooperate or make a scene?

�cause we�ll embarrass you in front of these kids.

Want to keep it up?

This is wrong.

Go to that car now.

This is wrong!

This is what the police are like.

This is oppression.

Shut up.

You are such stupid women.

Get in the car.

Careful with your screwed-up head.

Hey, sipowicz.

How�s it going, Gibson?

You look good, fit.

Come on back here.

Sure.

What�s it about, Andy?

I just got these pictures in, and we got a big problem.

Over this gay homicide?

Yeah. You took these photos?

Right.

Look at these pictures. You notice any differences?

What�s the problem, Andy?

Here, the guy�s got a gold ring and a watch.

These other three, he�s got no jewelry.

That�s crazy. I mean, how could that be?

You were there when that stuff disappeared, Eddie.

Andy, we were heading back

from homicide in the fifth precinct,

heard the job at the hotel, come over.

We get there right after uniform.

This guy�s in the tub.

I figure, "let me get my pictures."

I get one picture, the next thing you know,

the fire department�s there.

"Clear the room, let US do our job."

You know how they make high drama about it.

The smoke alarm notified them.

We get kicked out into the hall.

The firemen douse the place.

In five minutes, they leave.

We go back in, I finish taking my pictures.

I never noticed any difference.

You were there right before the firemen come.

And i�m back the second they�re gone.

If that jewelry�s missing, them firemen have it.

Those arrogant humps.

Hank. Yeah?

Pokey room clear?

Yeah.

You want something to drink?

Please don�t act like my friend. Fair enough.

Don�t be lookin� to run this for the boss.

He�s down at the borough.

How�s Jason doin�?

He�s upstairs in the crib.

He�s pretty withdrawn, that kid,

as a result of his contact with her.

So, are we going to go at this miserable bitch?

Maybe let US finish with her, James.

Why? On what basis?

She has so much attitude towards you, you know?

You think so?

You feel she shows a little arrogant,

patronizing attitude toward my direction?

Why let her distract herself with you?

Yeah, yeah, why let her distract herself

from making her statement,

this biased, arrogant bitch?

Right?

You want to watch from the observation room?

Yeah, yeah, i�ll watch from the cheap seats.

I�ll watch from the latino section.

Thanks.

You dragged me in here like a criminal.

Why don�t you let US set the table here, Jenny?

Explain your situation.

Do you know the damage you�ve done

to those children, their idea of a teacher?

You think seducing a kid who�s been taught to trust you

might throw jason�s idea of teachers out of whack?

I�m not going

to talk to you about my personal life.

When you have sexual relations

with a 15-year-old, Jenny,

your personal life stops being personal.

Then you�re a collar for statutory rape.

Jason Lopez is no ordinary 15-year-old.

Not in my soul and not in his

is anything that we have done,

including what you call sexual relations,

a crime.

You might want to check jason�s thinking on that.

I�m sure that when Sonia

and the rest of you are through,

jason�s thinking will be tortured and confused.

You�ll have him thinking that i�m a predator

and he�s the victim of some evil,

but in part of jason�s soul,

which you will never be able to reach,

Jason will remember.

Jason will feel the truth.

Which, deep in your soul, is what?

I could never explain that to you,

but Jason will remember.

We�re all going to remember you, Jenny.

Do you think his mother is going to support Jason in his academics?

Let him go to college, where sonia�s terrified

he�s going to take up with strong, smart women?

That�s your point of view, Jenny.

I think you ought to put those opinions on paper.

This is his future.

She will take him out of school.

She will browbeat him and frighten him

until she stamps out any idea he ever had

of being anything other than a laborer or a busboy.

Maybe one day you will see him --

half deaf, breaking up concrete

with a pneumatic drill,

squinting because he can hardly see

because the sweat is burning his eyes.

But when you look at Jason,

you still won�t be able to see what�s in his soul.

You won�t be able to know what he�s remembering.

He�s going to be remembering his teacher.

He�s going to be remembering me.

Amen.

Andy.

Ooh, Denny.

I understand that you guys

made an arrest in that hotel incident.

Made an arrest for the homicide, Denny,

but we still didn�t locate the whereabouts

of the d. O. A.�s missing property.

That part continues a mystery.

Why don�t you come in and sit down?

Frankly, Andy, as far as that property goes,

i�ve got nothing new to contribute.

Aw, Denny, come on. Take a load off.

Look at some d. O. A. Photos for me.

I don�t like looking at corpses.

Well, just focus on the corpse�s wrist.

Here.

Look at this photo here, Denny.

Give it mental label, group "a."

Group "a"? That�s one photo.

And these here --

let�s label these group "b,"

after the firemen have gone.

What items are on the d. O. A.�s wrist there

in the group "a" photo, Denny,

that are conspicuously absent once the firemen have left?

A ring and timepiece.

Possibly a rolex?

Assuming these photos are unretouched,

this is not my bag of crap.

If the missing property comes found, Denny,

you don�t have to hold it.

No follow-up interdepartmental brouhaha?

You got a line on its whereabouts?

I know who to talk to, believe me.

So near term, p. A. A. Irvin can expect

that watch and ring to show up on his desk?

Appropriate to widen the loop that way, Andy?

One outside witness --

that makes me feel more comfortable

as far as avoiding a double-cross-arooskee

where you lay off the missing-property bag

on me there, Denny.

You follow my drift?

When in Rome...

I realize you�re way out of your depth.

I just hope my friend here knows

when to turn his head to the wall.

And when not to.

She�s in holding?

Yeah, jenny�s awaiting her coach ride to the tombs.

I�ll bet James would volunteer.

James drives, he may get lost

and drop Jenny off the pier.

Did you happen to talk to Don?

Yeah, I said to stay away from US.

Good for you.

I said not to come see US anymore.

Especially if he may take a collar.

Less you have to deal with him, the better. Yeah.

You didn�t put yourself in the middle,

did you, Jill?

What do you mean?

In terms of giving him a heads-up,

where you could get in trouble yourself.

Good thing you�re not a collar yourself, pal.

That "" could be taken for evasive.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

No, no, no. We�re on this now.

Go fast! More faster.

More faster. This is fast enough.

I want to go on the slide.

You know, Theo,

lately, every time we come over here

for you to enjoy this ride here,

all you talk about is wanting to go on the slide.

How come?

�cause it�s more exciting.

All right. Come here.

Sure you don�t want to stay on this ride?

This is fun.

No. I want to go on the slide.

If we go on the slide,

i�m going to have to go up there with you.

I want to do it by myself.

Okay, well, here. You hold on.

Can you make it up?

I don�t know if this is a good idea, buddy.

I�m going to hold your hand.

Here, give me your hand. Give me your hand, Theo.

Give me your hand. Come here.

Don�t let go of my hand, now.

Okay, now i�m going to hold your hand

going all the way down.

I want to do it by myself.

No, i�m going to be standing alongside of you.

I did it!

Yes, you did it. You did it.

Now, wasn�t that fun, now?

We did it.

We did it, pal.
