Really?

How long ago was that?

Why don't you just find that person

that will be giving us the tour.

Just stay right here.

I'll be back in two shakes.

All right, so let's split up.

I take the tennis courts and the pool,

and you take the pro shop.

You're just gonna run around asking

people if they know a guy named Earl?

Well, do you have a better idea?

Learn from me, honey. You wanna know

every dirty little thing...

...that goes on at a country club,

you gotta ask the right people.

Who would that be?

The caddies.

-Hey there.

-Yeah?

-What's going on?

-Hey.

Hey, do any of you fellas

know a guy named Earl?

No?

Hey.

-I'lI take that as a yes.

-Wait. Where are you--?

Milo!

Sh*t.

A little out of shape there, senator?

The kid's got 20 years on me.

-Oh, come on, get in the cart.

-Only if you let me drive.

-What is that supposed to mean?

-That you're a sucky driver.

I am-- I am not a sucky driver.

I'm a great driver.

You know what? I don't have time

for this. Get in here. Come on.

How could we lose him?

He knows the course

better than we do.

Gentlemen.

There.

Stay with him.

-God. Milo.

-Get right up next to him.

-We're moving too fast. Oh, no.

-No.

I got you. I got you.

That was not my fault.

I don't know anything.

The drugs, the cash.

-I didn't know anything about it.

-I didn't ask about drugs or money.

Good. I don't know anything.

I'm a caddy.

-Well, then why were you running?

-Look, I'm just a kid saving for college.

Fine!

A Jet Ski, I'm saving for a Jet Ski.

Who's Earl?

Okay, look, all I know is,

he plays here...

...with a couple big shots

every three or four months.

Dude doesn't know the difference

between a wedge and a paddle.

What's his last name?

I don't know anything about him.

Why don't you use your college brain

and think.

You can drown me.

I'm not gonna know his last name.

And he's a big tipper,

sometimes 1 00 bucks.

Oh, he got me this.

He got you a tattoo?

When my girlfriend

dumped me, yeah.

He sent me to this place in Queens.

Blue lnk.

I don't know, maybe he owns it.

Blue lnk Tattoo.

Yeah, let me speak to Earl.

Not in.

-We got him.

-Tell him a Walter Lilly calIed.

Tell him Walter Lilly called,

all right?

All right. Walter LiIly? Thanks.

Very nice work, detective.

Hey, you--

-You got some--

-What?

-Some--

-What?

-On your neck.

-What is it?

-It's pond scum.

-Get it off. Oh, God.

-Looks good.

-Get it off. Milo, get it off. Not funny.

-Okay. Calm down, calm down.

-Get it.

What else? Where else is it?

-Wanna see it? Look.

-Just get it out of the car.

-I'm gonna keep it. Press it in a book.

-Oh, Jesus.

I'll always remember the special day

we just had.

See, you joke, Milo,

but just look at us.

We're this close to solving a murder

that nobody even knows has happened.

-Speak of the devil.

-Really?

Hey, Bobby, what's up?

Get off the road, and I mean now.

Yeah, this holiday traffic's--

-It's a real b*tch.

-HaIf of New Jersey is looking for you.

The other half is looking for your ex,

who is apparently a felon.

For what, I have no idea.

So much for "what happens

in Jersey, stays in Jersey."

Where are you, man? Exactly?

What?

Listen, Bobby, maybe you and I

should meet for a beer later.

You know, talk about old times.

Goddamn it, Milo. l can only

protect you if you do what I say.

And right now l am telling you:

lay low, stay there.

-What?

-He says we shouId get off the road.

-I believe him.

-We are in the middle of nowhere.

You know what?

I know exactly where we are.

Really? Here?

Couldn't have driven five minutes,

found a Best Western?

We'll be safe here

until we figure out what's what.

Think they remember us?

You kidding? Do you know how many

honeymooners they've had since us?

Hey, can I help--?

Wait.

It can't be.

Edmund. Edmund. Come quick.

-Looks Iike they remember us.

-You think?

Be stiIl, my beating heart.

Oh, my.

Listen, we get a lot

of young marrieds here, but you two....

Have we ever had a couple

more madly in love than these two?

No. No, we still talk about you two...

...honest to Betsy, as the

quintessential Cupid's couple Cabin.

Cupid's Cabin coupIe.

Oh, you know.

Let's get you a nice room.

Come on inside.

Welcome back.

Welcome. Welcome, welcome.

Oh, Iook, here's....

Oh, my goodness.

What, it's been three years?

-Three years. Has it?

-Oh, my God. l don't even remember.

So you came back

for your anniversary.

I do have to ask you

my favourite question.

How do you keep

your romance alive?

Well, I gotta tell you, Dawn...

...l'm not naturally

a romantic kind of guy.

True. He's not.

I mean, l don't tend to go

for cards or flowers.

Actually, gifts of any kind.

If it's your birthday, Milo thinks

the best surprise is the gift of nothing.

And you'd probably have to put a gun

to old Nic's head here...

...to get her to actually say,

"I Iove you."

Well, that's true love.

That is right. Two people who know

all each other's faults...

-...and weaknesses, and yet--

-They just love each other all the more.

Thank you.

Oh, gosh.

The cesspool's backed up.

Gotta call the guy.

No, honey, I think it's them.

They're a little stinky.

Well, we actually--

We crashed into a pond.

She was driving.

Oh, my goodness, you two.

Let's get you settled, and then you

can come back down for dinner.

We'll get you fresh duds.

Pop those in the wash,

have them back by bedtime.

Excuse me,

but what happened to your neck?

She Tasered me.

She Tase-- He's too funny.

"She Tasered me."

-What?

-Oh, just....

This whole situation.

I mean, really,

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

If you could see yourself

in that dress, cry.

What?

Said the man who couldn't decide what

colour to wear, so he wore them all.

Do you remember

when we broke that--?

Yeah, l do.

Although I tried very hard

to block that out, to be honest.

Oh, really?

How's that working out for you?

-What, being honest?

-Denial.

Great. Yeah.

Until about an hour ago.

Yeah.

Why--? Why do people do that?

Why do people do what?

Deny that they've ever done

anything wrong in the relationship.

Why can't people take responsibility

for their sh*t and move on?

Which people are you talking about?

-I don't know.

-What?

I don't know.

You. Me.

Everybody.

Well, maybe everybody's afraid...

...that any admission of guilt

would be seen as a sign of weakness.

You know,

that's where everybody's wrong.

I see it as a sign of maturity.

Don't you think?

-Absolutely.

-I mean, life--

Life is about making mistakes.

Right?

And death is about

wishing you made a whole lot more.

Hey, I just made that up.

Look at you, Milo Boyd.

Well....

Well, then.

Here...

...is to our big, fat, ugly mistake.

The kind

that knocks you on your ass.

And makes you wanna

do them all over again.

What do you mean?

Well, I--

Well, wait, wait.

What mistake were you talking about?

No, you just said

you had made a mistake.

I did.

So we're in agreement?
