-The bowling alley photo.

-I walked you down the goddamn aisle.

-That's what I said.

-Great. That's what he said.

Wait. You serious?

She really thought I was involved?

Yeah. But then, you know,

she never liked you.

You know what?

Never liked your ass, either.

I gotta get this story in.

-HeIlo?

-I just want you to know that it is over.

You and me, we are through.

Stewart, are you drunk?

No, that is the aftereffects

of horse tranquilizers...

...that were injected

into my now-broken leg...

...by a local veterinarian, Nicole.

Oh, we had something beautiful

and special and rare...

...but if these are the kinds of people

you hang out with, you can forget it.

If that's the way you really feel....

Wait, no, no, no. Wait, no, hold on.

No, no, no, stop.

Are you admitting that we had

something beautiful, special and rare?

Stewart, l gotta go, okay?

Okay, you go. But just know

you have given my heart wings.

For moments ago,

I was barely able to waIk...

...but now, now l will run to your side

with the--

-Goddamn!

-Stewart?

Hello?

-Do you know what l really wanna do?

-What?

I wanna blow off this story,

and l wanna take you home.

-Yeah?

-Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

But l gotta get this story in before

anybody gets wind of it. I just have to.

-You understand that, right?

-Oh, totally. Don't--

-Listen, I get it.

-Yeah?

I get it. You're just doing your job.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Thank you.

That's not gonna be

an issue this time.

We both will sometimes

have to put our job first.

It's like that, right?

Yeah.

Yep. But after....

We're actually doing this.

Yes, we are.

Why are we pulling over here?

Here?

No.

You wouldn't.

I toId you l was bringing you in.

And we have, oh,

five minutes to spare.

Now, don't be mad, babe...

...because we're never gonna get this

marriage going again...

...if you come into it

with anger and resentment.

I would like to be

taken into custody, please.

Officer?

Let's go.

This is ridicuIous. UnbeIievabIe.

Where did you--?

Aren't I entitled to a phone call?

It's the bounty hunter.

How was your weekend, a**hole?

Did you set any more parades on fire?

Actually, Gelman, the rest

of my weekend was pretty quiet.

-Yeah?

-Until now.

It'll go to the Internet edition...

...and then all media outlets will have

to come through us directly for details.

Great. Thanks.

Using your one caIl

to phone in a story. That is so you.

What are you doing here?

It's a special night, remember?

No way we're not

spending it together.

Hey, can we go

in the same ceIl together?

Get in the cell, d*ckhead.

-Let's go.

-I'm going.

You're crazy.

Maybe I am.

Come here.

Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
