You've been going
to beauty school?

Not just going.
I got graduated.

Next Tuesday, like always.

(GASPS)
Okay, now.

Do you know how many people
I have been pumping to get a lead on you?

That lady has moved
in on you and she ain't about to move out.

Rita's in love with Jim.

He's real gentle.
Can you picture what he'd be like with kids?

(ANGEL SCREAMS)

Angel! Angel!
Jimmy!

(PHONE RINGING)

ROCKFORD
ON ANSWERING MACHINE: This is Jim Rockford.

At the tone, leave your name
and message.

I'll get back to you.

(BEEPS)

MAN: I thought
this was Dial-a-Joke.

I'm going to a party and
I need some ice-breakers.

But I guess that's that.

Come on, Dad.
All I said was why don't we call L.J.

Because L.J.'s a plumber.
Yeah.

Well, have you got any idea
how much plumbers charge nowadays?

And they charge it
because they know something we don't.

Well, I have never seen
anyone so determined to throw their money away as you.

Now look,
all I need is a washer.

I'll run down to
the hardware store and I'll be right back. All right?

(CAR APPROACHING)

Hey!

Hey, Rita.

Wait till you hear.

Okay, what do you think
you're looking at?

About $10,000
worth of car.

Oh, no, not the car.
That's Jody's. He runs the liquor store down on Bexel.

Me! I mean, don't you notice
something different about me?

A new outfit?

New woman.
A whole, entire new woman.

Here, feast your eyes.

See, that says
�cole de beaut�.

That's French
for "beauty school."

You've been going
to beauty school?

Not just going.
I got graduated.

I got a diploma.
I got a license.

In the state of California,
I can do anybody's hair.

Hey, that is great, Rita.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

Congratulations, Rita.

Thanks. Oh!

Dad has been fixing
my shower.

All it needs
is a washer.

Well, are you going to
tell us about it, huh?

Yeah.

Look, why don't you
and Jimmy fix up a date

so that we can do
some real celebrating. I'll be right back.

Okay, Rocky.

Oh, boy, I got
a million things to do.

I got a whole list of shops
I wanna hit. You know, put in my application.

Oh, hey, listen, Dad knows
a guy that manages a shop in Santa Monica.

Maybe he could put
in a good word.

Thank you. But I was
figuring on Beverly Hills, you know.

Beverly Hills?
You kidding?

That's where your money hair
is. Movie stars like that.

I mean, you know
what those people are willing to spend on a comb-out?

Yeah, but I was thinking,
you know, since you just started and everything,

maybe a small shop...

Hey, why start at the bottom
when I don't have to?

Mr. Lamont who runs
the beauty school,

everybody in the business
knows him.

He says I can have
anyone call him direct.

He'll give me
a personal okay.

You must have been
a good student, huh?

Hey, I worked
my tush off.

Well, look,
when you get ready to celebrate,

you give us a call,
we'll all go to dinner, all right?

Oh, that would be nice.
We could go to the races,

we could go on
your friend's boat, do a little fishing.

Oh, we could do
a whole lot of stuff.

You know, I feel like
I'm starting out on a whole new life.

Well, you are. Rita?

Yeah.

What made you decide?

Well, it come about
in a funny way.

There's this girl
I know. Lily.

She's been working out of
the Breton Lounge like me

and I got to know her.
She's just a kid.

So, I been trying to talk her
into going home and taking herself off of the street.

You talked yourself
into it.

Yeah. Suddenly, I says
to myself, "Hey, this is a rotten line of work.

"What are you still
doing in it?" So, I'm not. Simple.

Wish me luck.

Hey, you'll do fine.

Yeah, yeah.

With my natural talent and
Mr. Lamont backing me up,

how could I miss, right?

Right.

You can't.
You can't have color on Wednesday.

He's all jammed up.
What about Thursday?

I can give you 10:30.
Fine. I'll put you down.

Hildy, how long before
Norman can take me?

Well, he has to
set Mrs. Farrow, he has a comb-out...

Do I have time to
go down to Antonio's?

(PHONE RINGING)
Taking a chance.

I'll be right with you.

Harry White's.
Yes, Mrs. Bowman.

No. You're down for 4:00.
That's right.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Stelnitz.
Louise doesn't have anything open today.

But these are very sick nails.
How can I walk around with a hand like that?

Now that's the worst.
Now if she could just do that one nail.

I'll talk to her, but...

I know she can fit it in.
Just that one nail. And maybe that one.

I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, that's a mess.

Looks like you could use
a little help around here, huh?

We manage.
Something I can do for you?

Yeah. I wanna talk to whoever
is in charge here.

Well, Mr. Norman's
the manager, but he's swamped.

That's what I want to
talk to him about.

Hildy, darling,
if it's going to be 10 minutes, all right.

But if it's going to be 45,
I can go to Antonio's.

Sarah, you're up.

What about Mrs. Farrow?

Oh, she decided
she wants color.

Go get shampooed.

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

Mr. Norman, right?

I told her you were busy.

Yeah, well,
that's exactly what I want to talk to you about.

I mean, it don't
take an Einstein to see

you could use a little extra
help around here, huh?

I'm sorry.
Rita Capkovic.

Listen, it was pure dumb luck
brought me here today.

I mean, I thought it'd be
all day before I hit on a place that had an opening.

You're looking for a job?
Here?

Yeah, listen, I could
start right away.

I don't mind pitching in
wherever you need me.

Hildy.

Look, miss,
Mr. Norman is very busy.

Right. So what
are we talking about?

Look, you got any questions
about me being qualified,

you can just give
Mr. Lamont a call.

You're a Lamont graduate?

Yeah.
A Lamont graduate.

I didn't know.

Top of the class,
I'll bet.

No. Not top of the class.
Top 10%, maybe.

You're too modest. All of
Mr. Lamont's graduates are top of the class.

King of the beehives.
Twice a year he gives out those cheesy certificates.

Hey, wait a minute,
wait a minute. What do you mean "cheesy"?

Gruy�re, mozzarella,
Tillamook!

What's the matter with you?
I don't have enough on my hands,

you've got to waste my time
with something like this?

Look, do us both a favor,
take that piece of paper and hit the bricks.

Hey, buster!

Listen, you don't want
to hire me, that's fine.

'Cause you want
to know something? I wouldn't want to work for you.

Only don't smart off.
I don't take that from nobody!

Now, I am a licensed operator.

Licensed by
the state of California.

The state doesn't know
that pompadours and snoods were out 30 years ago.

Neither does Mr. Lamont.
Why am I talking to her?

(SIGHS)

Stupid.

Perfect.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Yeah. Who is it?

MAN: It's me.
Open up, babe.

(KNOCKING CONTINUES)

Hey, Rita, you hear me?
Open the door.

Hi, how you doing?

Listen, I just saw
your light go on.

Thought you might like to
go for a little ride.

Not tonight, Al.
I am so beat.

Okay, I want
to go for a ride.

Look, Al, I'm kind of
depressed tonight. I'd be terrible company.

Hey, now, Rita,
who you talking to? You're always good company.

Okay, Al,
I know you're sore.

Rita, Rita, you wanna
put your shoes on?

Come on.

Do I have a choice?

AL: Now, out!

(RITA SCREAMS)

(GROANS)

Now,

next Tuesday,
like always.

Al, please...

We got a date Tuesday.
Next time, don't forget.

Wait. How am I
gonna get home?

Walk, baby. Walk!

Rita? Rita?

Rita? Oh, my God.

I got here as fast
as I could, Rita.

Lily, I just wanted
you to see.

Get out now,
while you still can.

Would you give me a hand?

I don't think I...

Come on. We gotta get you
to the hospital.

No, no.
They'll just call in the cops.

But something could
be broken inside, Rita!

Yeah. Oh, yeah.
It hurts like hell.

Oh, boy, I never hurt
so bad in all my life.

Who did it, Rita?

If it's Tuesday,
it must be Al.

Al?

Oh, yeah, I told you
he's a creep. He's a coked-up creep.

Let's get you home.

No, wait.
No, he might come back.

I'll tell you
where to take me.

RITA: Jimmy!

Hello?

Jimmy...

Rita? Rita, honey...

Some mess, huh?
I just threw up.

(SHUSHING) Oh, honey.

Don't worry.
I'll take care of this.

Take it easy now.

(GROANS)

I'll clean it up,
all right?

(SHUSHING)
All right, honey.

Rita, honey...

It wasn't no trick, Jimmy.
Honest.

Yeah, sure, sweetheart,
you ran into a door.

I'm not lying.
I got mugged.

You went out looking
for a job today. What happened?

It didn't go too well,
and you went back on the street?

It went terrific.

I got a very strong reaction
from Mr. Norman at Harry White's.

That's Beverly Hills,
thank you very much.

So everybody else gets mugged.
I can't get mugged?

You said you were
going straight, huh?

You said it was
a whole new life.

Yeah.

It didn't start out
too great, did it?

Now, okay,
come on, come on.

I shouldn't have come here.

You should have.
You should have come here.

It's exactly where
you should have come, sweetheart.

I never been nothing
but trouble for you.

That's a double negative.

What?

That means you haven't
been any trouble at all.

Come on, come on.

Oh, Jimmy, I thought
he was going to kill me.

All right.
You're safe now, sweetheart.

He just kept...

He just kept
beating up on me and beating up on me.

It's all right, it's over.
You're here.

All you've got to worry
about is getting well.

You're here for as long
as it takes. Okay? Huh?

Nobody's going to
hurt you now.

I must look awful.

Hey.

Give me a little kiss, huh?
Come on.

Give me a little kiss.

There.

That's my girl.

Hi, sonny.
How's the patient?

Well, she must be
feeling pretty good.

She was up at 6:30 this
morning cooking breakfast.

I thought you liked to
sleep late on Sunday.

Yeah, I do.

Hi, Rocky.
Hey, what do you think? Jimmy bought it for me.

Well, looks very nice.
Here, here's some flowers I brought you.

A kid was selling them
down along the freeway.

That's sweet. Hey, Jimmy,
let me give you a hand with that.

No, I got it, I got it.

You two about ready,
are you?

I gotta get my jacket.
There's a jacket goes with this.

It's a whole outfit.

I guess we both got pretty
sick of seeing me wearing the same thing two weeks straight.

You coming, Jimmy?

Yeah.

You healed up
real fast, Rita.

Nobody'd never guess
you was in no car accident.

Not a bruise on you.

Oh, I still got a
couple of beauts, right, Jimmy?

Yeah.

Hey, Rocky, what do you think?
On the table? Or on the desk?

Well...

I know, on the desk.

That way you can see it
right away, soon as you come in the front door.

Oh, you know, flowers
make a big difference.

They make a place
look homey.

I always keep flowers
and plants around my house, stuff like that.

You know, like this
driftwood I picked up on the beach.

I even took a whole course
in flower arranging one time.

Yeah?

Yeah, several years ago.

Hey, he's got
terrific taste, huh?

Hey, Rita, I had a heck
of a time finding this.

Why'd you re-arrange
my closet?

To make it more convenient.
That's what you're wearing?

What's wrong with it?

Oh, no, nothing.
I mean, whatever you're comfortable in.

I just thought maybe
the brown jacket.

With grey pants?

Brown pants.

In other words, you want me
to change clothes, right?

Come on, Rita, it's
a backyard barbecue.

Hey, did I say change?

I just thought that since
we're going there together,

and what I'm wearing
is sort of dressy,

and since brown is
a dynamite color on you...

Look, I thought
you two were ready.

I am.

Well, then let's get going.
Dennis said we eat at 4:00

and there ain't nothing
worse than a cold steak.

There you go.
Thanks.

Hey, do you mind
if I take off my jacket?

I was wondering
why you wore it, anyway.

Brown is
a dynamite color on me.

You guys ready?
I'm taking off the steaks.

You know, Rita's
looking pretty good. She still staying at your place?

Yeah, we're going to
drop her by her apartment on the way home.

Over here, Dennis.

All right,
let's everybody dig in.

Oh, Den. You mind
changing places with Jimmy?

I think there's a lot more
leg room down there.

I'm fine, Rita.

Yeah, but you're a big man.
You need leg room.

So does Dennis.

Hey, everything,
looks great. Really, Peggy.

Oh, that big one.
Yeah.

I hope that tastes great.
The salad's a new recipe.

That's something
I never understood.

Why do you try out
new recipes when we're having company?

Try it. You don't like it,
I'll cut you up a tomato, okay?

You want to cut up my meat
for me? What's the matter with you, Rita?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
He don't like nobody making a fuss over him.

But if you could of seen him
the past two weeks,

making chicken soup,
taking my temperature, going out and spending

who knows what on a big hunk
USDA prime for my shiner.

I always said Jimmy'd
make a fine doctor.

The best.

Hey, anybody
want some beer?

I'll get it.
I'll get it, Rita, I can get it, okay?

So what do you think?
I embarrass him?

Boy, you gotta be so careful.

I mean, he don't even wanna
hear from thank you.

And after what he done.

Well, that's what friends
is for. That's what I always heard.

Oh, yeah. But, no. Listen,
you should've seen him.

First 24 hours
I am throwing up all over that trailer.

And you know what he does?

He says, "It's all right."
And he cleans it up.

Well, you was bunged up
pretty bad in that accident.

Oh, boy, yeah.

Listen, it was a week and
a half before I could even move without yelling.

But you know what gets me?

A big guy like that,
they can be a little rough sometimes, you know.

Not Jimmy.

He's real gentle.
You know, like, tender.

Like he's afraid
he's gonna hurt you.

Like he would even know how.

I mean, if he treats me
like that, can you picture what he'd be like with kids?

Well, I better go
see how he's doing.

Well, I better go, too.

Dennis,
she's in love with him.

Who?

Jim.
Rita's in love with Jim.

Come on, Peg.

You don't see it?
I see it. Rocky sees it.

Did you catch the expression
on his face when it hit him?

What's he going to do?

Who?

(GROANS)

Dennis, I just hate it
when you play dumb.

Peg, it's none
of our business.

None of our business?
She was your snitch.

Jim met her through you.

You wanted to ruin my dinner?
Okay. You ruined my dinner.

Dennis.

What are we going to do?

You changed the question.
The question was what is Jim going to do?

I don't know.
We're talking about two adults.

No strings
on either one of them.

Strings?
She's a hooker!

Louder, Peg. We wouldn't
want to keep this just between the two of us.

Dennis, listen to me.
I'm very fond of Rita.

She is an open,
generous human being.

And I hate myself
for saying this,

but she is wrong
for Jim.

Now somebody is going to
get very hurt, unless this thing is stopped.

Look, he's going to be taking
her back to her apartment right after dinner.

You watch.
Everything will cool out.

I'll go up with you.
See if you need anything from the market.

Okay.

I'll go with you.
Hey, sonny,

I can't get out of here.

Good. I'll know right
where to find you.

Oh, come on.

Jim, Jim, I wasn't absolutely
up front and honest with you about what happened.

I wasn't mugged.
It was a date, okay?

I mean, it was a guy I used
to date and he finds out I'm changing jobs

and he just goes crazy.

Hey, we're talking
about two weeks ago.

Why don't we just
forget it, okay?

Yeah, but I'm scared
to come back here.

See, he knows
where I live.

Why don't you blow the whistle
on him, put him out of circulation?

Yeah, and myself, too.
He'd kill me.

Look, you stay here.

I'll go ask the manager
has he been hanging around.

And if he hasn't, fine.
I'll stop worrying. Okay?

Okay.

Hey, Jim. Jim?

Where's Rita?

She wanted to see the manager.
What's the matter?

Nothing, nothing.
I got out.

There's gotta be a full moon.

Rita. Where the hell
have you been?

It's too long, honest.
Listen, has Al been hanging around?

No, not for
a couple of weeks.

You're sure?
I mean, he hasn't been hanging around,

asking questions,
nothing like that?

No, it's been
a couple of weeks. That's it.

Oh, okay, thanks.

What happened?

I found this in the garage.
I thought it might help with the posture.

Rita, you going to
be keeping the apartment?

Well, I'm paid up till
the end of the month. I'll let you know.

Fine.

Jim, he's been here.

Who?

Been parked outside,
watching the apartment.

All right, take this thing
to Becker, honey. Let him handle it.

He can put this guy away.

What guy?

Dad, do you mind?

I can't do that to Dennis,
Jimmy. Not with my record.

I don't know what
I'm going to do.

Let's go home.

Hey, hey, I got
an extra room at my place.

She could stay there,
how about that?

All right, everybody,
come on, up and at 'em.

Everybody up.
Come on, come on, rise and shine.

That's you, too, Rita.
Come on, come on, up she goes.

Rise and shine?
Oh, Rocky, what time is it?

Fannon's leaving on the tide.
And Jimmy said that you said something about

celebrating on Fannon's boat
and I figured this is as good a time as any, you know.

Don't count on it.
Guess what? We're going on a boat.

Yeah.

Don't use the shower, Rita.

Maybe we better get L.J.
To check it, huh?

Yeah.

Is that all you can say
to me in the morning, "Yeah"?

You snore.

Sunny-side up
or scrambled?

Hey, you want to tell me
what this is all about, Rocky?

You want to tell me what
changed you from an average, fairly easy-going father

into my constant companion?

You're all over me.
You're like a burnoose.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You know.
You always know.

Ever since we left Becker's
last night, I've felt that hot breath on my neck.

Maybe it's Rita.

Rita? Rita was invited.
Sleeping over?

When was the last time
you did that, huh?

The last time we went out
on Fannon's boat.

Sunny-side.

Okay. We'll meet you out
on the pier.

Fannon's leaving
on the tide.

I'm just gonna pick up a top.
How long does that take?

Vanity, vanity,
thy name is woman.

Put a lid on it, Rocky.

(GASPS)
Okay, now.

Do you know how many people
I have been pumping to get a lead on you?

And all the time you've
been shacking up with some lousy PI.

Let me go, Al.

I warned you about
mouthing off to Lily. She split.

You got what you wanted.
She went home to mama.

She's just a kid, Al.

Oh, yeah,
she's just a kid.

But, see, she's
a real moneymaker.

Where does that
leave me, Rita?

You think about that?

'Cause I thought about it
and you're going to take her place.

No. I told you.
I give it up.

Yeah, but so did Lily.

See, but I got her down for
a nooner at the Sherwood.

Mr. Brown. 324.
You be there.

No!

No?

You remember what happened
a couple of weeks ago?

Baby, I can make that seem
like a month in the country.

You be there.

Hey, guys,
I'm real sorry.

I didn't think
it was gonna take this long.

Where's the top?
It's in the car.

See, I ran into this
old friend and we got to talk,

and it turns out he's got
a friend who owns a beauty shop downtown,

in the Tallman Building,
and he got me an appointment for today at noon.

What about Beverly Hills
and all the beautiful hair?

Oh, well,
that's still a possibility.

I figure I don't want to
lock myself in without looking around.

You understand.

Yeah. I think so, Rita.

So, I was wondering,
could I borrow the car?

I've got to be there
at 12:00 noon sharp.

And I wouldn't ask,
only you're gonna be fishing anyway.

Rita, the boat has sailed.

I told you Fannon
was leaving on the tide.

Oh, no. You missed it
on account of me?

Aw, gee, you should've left.

What good are hats
and noisemakers without the guest of honor?

Yeah.

Hey, come on, I've caught
some really good yellowtail right here.

Come on, we've got
a lunch packed.

Why don't you just forget
about that appointment downtown, huh?

I wish I could.

But if I don't show
my friend's liable to get a little hot about it.

You know, going to all
that trouble setting it up and all.

It's your decision, Rita.

Well, no, it's not.

Well, I'll see you later.
I won't be home late.

Home. Ha! Sounds like
she owns the place.

What'd she mean,
it's not her decision?

Dad, I'll tell you,
I'm a little worried about her.

Would you take a piece
of personal advice and start worrying about yourself?

That lady has moved
in on you and she ain't about to move out.

Come on, Dad, she was ready
to move back to her apartment last night.

Only she didn't.

I ain't the kind of parent now
that goes butting into his son's personal business.

What's that?
A New Year's resolution?

But in this instance...

Yeah, you're going to
make an exception, sure.

Look, I know you think
that you and Rita are friends.

We are.
We're good friends.

Well, you may be
feeling friendly. But her, now that's something else.

No woman is going to sit
around a table talking marshmallow sweet about a man,

saying what
a great, fine father he's going to be,

unless she has got
other things on her mind.

Well, would you rather
she said I'd make a rotten father, huh?

Just a word to the wise,
that's all. You're a grown man.

You got a right to
make your own mistakes.

Gee, Dad. Could I?

Hi.
Hi.

I'll take those.
Oh, I'll hang them up.

You'll just put them
in the wrong place. How was the fishing?

It wasn't.
How was the appointment?

Okay.
What?

I said okay.

What are you making?

Tuna surprise.

What's the surprise?

Well, it's got cream
of mushroom soup, peas,

and you are never gonna
believe this. Potato chips.

No, no, when it's cooked,
it don't taste nothing like it sounds.

Did I ever fix this
for you before? No.

Well, you are gonna
be crazy about it. Trust me.

I got it just about ready
for the oven.

We can go for a long walk
on the beach before dinner.

I know you
always like that.

Yeah. Well, I'm afraid
not tonight. I've got a date.

A date?

Yeah. She's coming
by here after work.

She ought to be here
any minute.

Do you think that I could
use the car tonight?

I dropped Rocky over
at his place and I borrowed his pick-up.

But if it's inconvenient,
you know, there's no problem.

We can use hers.
I just always feel more comfortable driving my own.

Oh, sure.
The keys are in my bag.

Somebody I know?

No, I don't think so.
Her name is Linda Hassler.

She's the assistant curator
at the Paulson Museum.

Oh, that's her now.
We'll see you later. All right?

Hey, aren't you
even gonna ask her in?

Oh, well, yeah.

Hi.
LINDA: Hi.

Believe it or not
I got out on time. Without a hitch.

Oh, this is Linda Hassler.

This is Rita Capkovic,

my houseguest.

Linda, Rita.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm really glad to meet you.
Jimmy don't bring too many of his friends by.

Hey, there's
a real place I thought we'd try down the beach.

I don't know why.
He knows I'm crazy for company.

It really looks good.
They got steaks, Alaska king crab.

That sounds great.

Hey, come on.
You're not going to no restaurant.

Yes, Rita. That's
where we're going.

See, I made this casserole.
It's got all of Jimmy's favorite things in it.

Peas?

Well, there's plenty enough
for the three of us.

Oh, hey, you two wanna
be alone, right?

No.
Yes.

Look, I can heat
it up tomorrow. I never tried it before.

I don't even know
if it'll be good.

Well, Jim, since Rita
went to all the trouble...

What trouble?

Well, we could
have dinner here,

go out for coffee later.

You wanna open up the wine,
Jimmy? Or you want me to?

Let's go for a walk.

Oh, let's.
What a terrific idea.

It's practically
his favorite thing.

Hi, sonny. I borrowed
L.J.'s truck to come over and...

Well, the gang's all here.

I didn't know
you had company.

Oh, Dad, this
is Linda Hassler. This is my father, Joseph Rockford.

How do you do?
How do you do?

We're just going for a walk
on the beach. You want to tag along?

Oh, if I wouldn't be
in the way.

You?

You got great hair.

Thank you.

I say that as a professional.

Oh?

Yeah, very good.

Want my advice?

Stay out of the sun.
No sitting out on the beach, no fishing, nothing like that.

You'd be in for
big problems.

Big problems are something
we all have to deal with from time to time.

Oh, yeah.

And you're wearing it loose,
too. That's good. You can use the softness.

What are you doing
up here, Rita?

Well, it's a beautiful day.

Looks like it's
going to be a clear night.

Clear enough to see
some other woman making off with your date.

Now go on,
get up there. Go on.

I was just saying to your
father, it looks like it's going to be a clear night.

He's back there
all by himself.

Oh, yeah.

How long does it take
to drink a cup of coffee?

I could've made
the coffee here.

He's home.

Where is he?
I said where is he?

He's gone.
He's out of town.

Hey, what is this?
What are you doing?

Shut up!
Don't hurt him! He hasn't done nothing.

Now you tell him.
Next time it's his head.

You got that?

Okay, okay.

Rita!
Don't, Rocky!

ROCKY: Rita!

Hey! Hey,
come back here, you!

ROCKY: Hey!

What the hell's going on?
Hey, what's the matter, Dad?

Come on, lean up there now.
Get your breath, get your breath.

You all right?
He took her, sonny.

Who?
He took Rita. Some guy named Al.

He come tearing
into the trailer and smashing things up.

He said next time
it was gonna be your head.

Somebody took Rita?

What do you think
I'm trying to tell you?

You mean driving the Stutz?

Why the hell didn't you
tell me? Heck, I can't find them now!

Hey, I'm sorry, Dad.
I shouldn't have said that, I am really...

She stood up to him, sonny.

That poor little thing,
she stood up to him.

She kept him from parting
my hair with a tire iron.

How do you think that
makes me feel, huh?

I had to have
a lousy cup of coffee.

What are we gonna do, sonny?

Now, you got
nothing to say?

Don't try nothing, Al.

You start pounding
on me again, I start using a very good set of lungs.

Oh, no, baby, I don't want
to damage the merchandise.

I am not merchandise.

Tell me. I mean, tell me!

You know, I spoke
to Mr. Brown tonight

and he says you got
the stomach flu.

Oh, he's having a hard
time understanding

how come I send him
someone who don't deliver.

I told you. I'm out of it.
I got a chance for something good now and I'm taking it.

Hey, I'm your chance!

All right, all right,
we will call today a mistake.

I'm not changing my mind.

You can put me
in the hospital,

but I'm still
not changing it,

so you just take your
best shot, you know.

Okay. Okay.
I don't touch you.

I'll kill your friend
Rockford instead.

No, don't!

Are you crazy?

No, no.
Just a businessman.

I mean, hey,
what do you expect, huh?

I mean, you queer things
with Lily and send her running off for the toolies.

I mean, what am I
supposed to do?

Look for a cheaper
apartment?

Okay, okay, look,
I got my certificate.

I'll be getting a job
any day now.

Hairdressers make
a lot of money.

I'll give you a fair split,
okay?

Baby, that is not
the business I am in.

Al, please, leave him alone.
Please, please.

Now does that mean
we have an understanding?

Terrific.
That's just terrific.

Oh, listen,
you better get yourself a good night's sleep.

You know, that stomach flu
can really mess you up,

and you got
a big day tomorrow.

Hey, you see Bobby?
Line B.

He told me he's got
two weeks at Universal on the Pallazzi picture.

Yeah. He told me he's 43.

I'd like to be
on a quarter check since he was 43.

Hey, Angel.
Hey, man, here it's Evelyn.

Your landlady told me
where to find you.

She sent me here. She's afraid
I'm not gonna make the tab.

I got laid off.
Canned is more like it.

Well, good, then you could
use a few bucks, huh?

You know my brother-in-law
Aaron who works at that crummy newspaper?

How much is he out
if I sell a few, chintzy ads on the side?

Educated guess.
How much? Look, Angel...

Not enough to put one of
them stogies in his fat face. Big man in Beverly Hills.

He's looking
for a revolution.

Hey, I got a new composite.
You want to see it? You mind.

Angel, I need your help
on something.

Hey, this is terrific.

I've got a few bucks
with your name on them.

How few?
Hey, where'd you get them made up?

McHenry's.

Why don't you change places
with him, Angel?

I been here since 7:30.

All right, Angel, look,
I need your help, huh?

What are you going to do,
sweet-talk me into it?

All right, 50 bucks.

Jimmy, all I got to do is show
up at the end of the line,

convince them I'm breathing
and I get $104.

Seventy-five.
Let me see it.

I'm looking for a guy
named Al.

Al Guttadaro. Works over
at the free clinic on Temple.

No, no, no.
That's not the Al I want.

This guy drives
a two-tone Stutz. And he beats up on prosties.

Pearl, it's got a
brown stripe that goes back under the fender like...

Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
You know him?

No, but I've seen that car
parked around Silky's.

Silky's?
You've been to Silky's.

No.
On Hollywood Boulevard.

Come on. Hey, man,
are you in for a treat. I'll tell you what.

Give me five minutes.
As soon as I'm finished here,

I'll run over there with you.
I got a few items I want to pick up.

You've been to Silky's.
No.

Hey, how are you?

Here you are, sir.
Forty quarters.

Mr. Martin.
Hey, Silky. What's shaking?

Where you been the last
couple of days? I been holding your order.

Oh, good, good.

Mama said I should
put it back on display.

But for a regular customer...

For the money I spend
here I ought to be getting premiums.

That's what I said.
I said, "The boy'll be in."

It's $32.50.

What are you?
Some kind of voyeur?

Maybe we got something
to interest you.

No thanks.
Not today.

Well, browse if you like.
We got a nice variety.

Forget it. He don't
even spring for coffee anymore.

He's looking for a new set
of wheels,

which is one of the
reasons I brought him over here.

I was hoping to find that
good-Iooking Stutz.

You know, the one that
parked out here, had a for sale sign in the window.

The brown, pearl.
I thought it was yours.

Mine? My car leaves
every half hour.

It's called the bus.

Well, I guess we came
all this way for nothing, Jimmy.

That's a shame. You would have
loved it, just your style.

Hey, you don't know
who owns it, do you?

It had a for sale
sign on it?

Yeah.

Well, since both you and him
are good customers,

I don't think
it'll hurt none to say.

Name's Al Halusca.
You can find him over at the Gorjanic Hotel.

What time would you say,
around 6:00?

Say around any time.
He works out of the lobby.

He's a pimp.

Hey, Eddie Yost.
East Philly. Ball bearings.

He said...

I'm in town
a couple of days and...

I got this business thing,
you know...

Right, right. And you'd like
to make some friends, right?

Yeah. I'd like to make
some friends. One. One is fine.

You got anything specific
in mind?

I'm easy to please.

Oh, you want me to choose?

Sure. Taller.
I ought to be taller than her.

Younger. I ought to
be younger than her. Not a whole lot.

I'm not looking
for Grandma Moses.

But the gratitude factor,
you know? I don't think you can discount that.

Is that about it?

You got anything
in a redhead?

223.

A guy like me, I mean,
in my circumstances, it's unusual.

This kind of thing back home,

I get all the friends
you can shake a stick at, but here...

I mean,
even if I don't know anybody I usually flash a few G's...

This business thing
has got me...

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Yeah, who is it?

ANGEL: Al sent me.

Hey, where's the phone?
I've got to use the phone?

What?
The phone, the phone.

What? You wanna do
some kind of phone thing?

No, no, no,
not enough time.

(PHONE RINGS)

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm here
in the room now.

But, listen, there's
a certain change in the plans.

If you want to know the
number of the room, it's gonna be another 50 bucks.

Angel, you hold me up now
and I'll feed you the 50.

All right, it's Room 223.

All right, you and Rita
hit the back stairs.

I'll meet you
in two minutes.

All right, get your
things together. Who are you?

Listen, later on the
howdy-dos. Jimmy said meet at the back stairs.

We meet at
the back stairs.

Jimmy who?
Jimmy what? Rockford.

Oh, please.
Will you get out of here?

He's waiting for us.

I said, get out.
Look, I got nothing to do with Rockford.

I don't want him anywheres
near this place.

Now, you tell him that and
you tell him that I mean it.

I am doing what I do,
I am where I belong. Please leave me alone.

(DOOR SLAMS OPEN)

I was just leaving.
What do you think?

Twenty bucks ought to be good,
shouldn't you think? $20?

Hey, what the hell, 25.

Oh, you said you was walking
around with thousands.

I said that?

Yeah, that's
what you said.

Al, Al,
leave him alone. Now you shut up!

(ANGEL SCREAMS)

Angel. Angel.
Jimmy! Jimmy!

Jimmy!
Come on.

You rotten creep.

You've been nothing
but trouble for me. Nothing!

But this time,
oh, this time, you're gonna pay!

You could've killed him,
you know that!

Yeah,
I could've killed him!

Yeah. Yeah!

Al!

No! No!

(GUN FIRES)

(SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

How long are we
supposed to do this? I mean, is that it?

Don't we do anything?

We're fishing.

I can't get over
what she did.

What she did?
How about what I did?

Jimmy's gonna owe me
for a long time.

Nobody would have
had any trouble if you did what you were supposed to.

Is that a fact?

Yeah. You tell a pimp
you're carrying a couple thousand dollars,

what'd you expect?
Congratulations?

Well, what happens now?

Well, she's got
a job, anyway.

I got a friend down
in Santa Monica. Mildred Seymour.

She got a little shop and
she said she could tell just from talking to Rita

that she was a whiz.

She's going to keep
the job open for her until she heals up.

I meant,
what happens with them?

That Mildred is terrific,
Jimmy. Salt of the earth.

Just the kind of person
Rocky would know.

Course, the shop
is kind of small.

Well, it's a beginning.

Yeah. That's what I figured.
See, the way I see it,

I could have a place
of my own some day.

Course, that's way
down the line, but it could work.

Now I don't have Al
leaning on me.

Yeah, well, it's none
of my business, Rita,

but how'd you ever get hooked
up with a bum like that?

Oh, that was such a long
time ago. Al just took over.

And I give him too many
headaches, you know.

I was always sounding off,
giving him arguments, he finally let me go.

But when I talked my friend
Lily into splitting,

boy, he decided
to punish me.

Man, I hope they throw
the key away.

Yeah, well,
I don't think you got too much to worry about.

Attempted murder's
a pretty heavy rap.

I know your shoulder's
giving you a lot of pain.

You sure you going to be
all right by yourself?

Hey, what's this?
Are you inviting me over to stay again?

Come on.
After what happened last time?

I was pretty goofy
about you.

I don't know
if you noticed.

Rita...

I love you.
You know that.

What kind of dumb thing
is that to say?

Of course you love me.
We're friends, right?

I love you.

Hey, what do you think?
I'm going to take a slug in my shoulder

for a perfect stranger?

Come on.
Let's go fishing.
