Oh, we were just chatting.

Privileged communication, sir.

An hour and a half in the Middle of the hudson river,

Standing in the rain on the Deck of some little tuna boat.

What about wojo?!

Oh, him?

He came ashore way Down near pier 12...

Him and the guy we were chasing.

Oh, thank god he's okay.

Well, uh, uh, uh, This is ed foronjy.

This is captain miller.

Uh, anyway, we, uh...

We caught this guy Coming out of a warehouse

With a bunch of radios.

We chased him down To the end of the pier

And thought we had him trapped,

And then he jumped in the water.

I figured only a real hot Dog would come in after me.

So I did.

Next thing I knew,

He's swimming Out into the river.

I got family in jersey.

Anyway, I just kept Swimming after him,

And I'd just about caught him,

And then I got this incredible Cramp in my right side.

Yeah, he starts yelling, "Help me! Help me!"

And suddenly I see Him go under the water.

So I was just about out of it,

And I felt this... This Arm around my neck.

Next thing, he's pulling Me back to shore.

Got me up on the pier, Brought me around.

Then I arrested him.

Oh.

We're gonna book You now, mr. Foronjy.

You're welcome.

Over here.

Sure.

Harris...

Harris, why don't you go Back to the locker room

And put on some Dry clothes, huh?

All my dry clothes are home.

Check my locker. I got a Lot of extra stuff there.

You could probably fit into it.

I may just stay wet.

- levitt: sir? - yeah.

Mr. Lucas says we may have A case of entrapment here.

That's for a judge to decide.

That's fine with me.

Bail is already being Arranged for miss schaefer.

Your home address?

You know, I could Have kept right on going

And left you at the Bottom of the hudson

With a few hundred accountants.

That's right. You could have.

What's your business address?

712 east 45th street.

I work as a volunteer On a crisis hot line.

That's just monday Through friday.

Weekends, I'm a big brother.

Uh-huh.

I don't know what's Wrong with me.

I mean, other guys I know Who are making it big in crime,

They're vicious, They're ruthless.

They'd shoot you just As soon as look at you.

But not me.

Last week, I went in to hold Up a liquor store in queens.

Who's running it? Vietnamese refugees.

I wound up giving them 20 Bucks to help the boat people.

I mean, I don't know What my problem is.

Maybe you're just a Decent human being.

Hey, I feel bad enough already.

Here we go.

Here you go.

Hey, I don't want to hear it.

How long you been a policeman?

Off and on about seven years.

You don't look like one.

Thank you.

I think you're a lot Cuter than most cops.

Is that you or her?

Look, it's probably None of my business,

But I don't understand

How someone who's Obviously intelligent,

Well-read, attractive

Could be doing Something like this.

I like to eat.

You like to eat chinese?

I believe she prefers szechuan.

I know a place over on 3rd avenue... Charlie woo's...

Got a kung pao chicken Will knock your socks off.

Who's that? From what I gather,

It's either her pimp or Her boyfriend or both.

She has to sign For her valuables.

Ah, you're leaving, mr. Lucas.

Uh... Goodbye.

I want to thank you for All your cooperation.

We appreciate your patience.

I also want to add

That officer levitt's Assistance was invaluable.

I'm glad he could be of help.

I can't help wondering

Why an officer as Capable as officer levitt

Is still in uniform And not in a position

Where his obvious Skills and abilities

Could be more fully utilized.

I couldn't have said It better myself.

Yeah.

Take care of yourself.

Woo's, tomorrow at 7:00.

Thanks, carl.

Shall we meet there Or go in the same car?

Okay.

I'm gonna have to run You over to the tombs now.

Nobody came up With the bail, huh?

No, I'm afraid not.

I called up half the People in my choir,

Told them I needed some money.

All of a sudden, I'm singing solo.

Maybe it's the weather.

I tell you, I'm through Being mr. Compassionate.

From now on, to Hell with everybody.

I'm gonna start looking Out for numero uno.

Uhh... Be careful. It's wet there.

Anything happening?

Wojo just left for Downtown with that hood.

I believe sergeants harris And dietrich checked out.

Why don't you go On home yourself?

Yes, sir.

Levitt...

Thank you.

Is that you, barney?

I thought you'd gone home.

You want to know something?

You can have money to burn...

Fame, success...

Personal and Sexual fulfillment...

But if you haven't Got your health,

You've got nothing.

I've heard that.

Sorry.

It's hard to be original

When you've got a Temperature of 102.

I see you took Me up on my offer.
