Well there it is!
The City!
It could be your town or my town.
How well do you know it.
Surprised? What did you suspect?
We call this Lovers Loop.
Every town has one.
Kids always have things to talk over.
Questions about life, about the high school prom, or the latest in rock and roll, all sorts of problems.
Many, many things to talk over.
Sometimes, sometimes without words just music.
What did they call it?
The universal language?
A place where they can be alone.
Away from mom and dad who think are a little old fashioned and square.
Some people, remind me not to come back here on our anniversary.
Would you?
I dont remind you.
Did everyone ever tell you that you are beautiful.
Mhmm!
You!
5 times in the last 5 minutes.
Youre beautiful!
Oh youre just saying that because Im going to marry you.
But When?
Soon!
How soon?
Owen, Id marry you tonight, except that.
Except that I havent met your family yet.
Is that what you mean?
Youll meet them!
When?
Soon!
Thats a fair word of yours isnt it?
Come on Liz, whats wrong?
Nothing! Why dont we tell them tonight!
Please Owen! Let me handle it my way.
Handle what? Liz, I love you, whats all the mystery?
Theres no mystery!
I love you too Owen, very much!
But you just got to be a little patient.
Sure!
Maybe folks are planning to give you to me for Christmas.
Wouldnt that be a wonderful time for a wedding?!
Yeah!
Merry Christmas!
Owen, what is it?
Shhh!
Ill be right back.
HEY YOU!
What do you want?
I said what do you want?
Owen!
Whats the matter?
Nothing honey, just.
Owen!
You killed him!
Help! Help! Help! Help!
Suck him again they love it!
I thought you were with me sugar.
HELP!!!
5 after frequency one! Stand By! 12-8-3 repeat!
12-8-3 Roger!
Only the left of midnight and my tailbone thinks its 4:00 AM!
Is that what you think with?!
I was wondering.
Heh!
Why dont we stop for coffee?
Whats the matter?
No romance in sole?
Okay, well swing around the loop.
I wonder where those kids get their energy.
Laughs
Time we made tracks baby, before the old lady starts throwing a fit.
Ah!
Shes gonna grow a fit than breathe.
Here, have one for the road!
STOP!
Hey look at the crazy drunk.
What happened?
Here!
Hes out like a light.
I suppose hes dead.
Listen, lets get out of here.
Lovers Loop!
Busy little birds and busier little bees.
Whats wrong with their homes if they get this kind of a place?
Cmon I can taste the Jabbah!
George!
Yeah Tony!
Looks like were in business.
You think hes drunk?
Hes too big to be lost.
Oh brother!
Happy Birthday!
Oh there you are, Ive been looking for you!
Well you sure found us boy.
Come on!
The way you smell sport, fear little to the wind.
Oh I gotta headache!
How bad?
Hey!
Look at his eyes.
They might be on the goof balls.
Just load him!
A bottle of thirst and a one bottled stomach!
Im sick!
I wanna go home!
Youre on your way!
Remember how you got that cut on your forehead?
Cut! What cut?
Youre okay buddy buddie!
He doesnt look like tank material.
Why dont we take him home?
Sure!
Well take him home and he sets fire to the mattress!
Gailmay!
Gailmay!
Car 31!
Come in 31!
Were coming in with a 390, roll out the red carpet. Check! You got room for one more?
In you go!
What did he do take a bath in this stuff. Put him in the tank.
So long buddy buddie!
Next time make it sarsaparilla.
I dont want you to make a sound.
I dont any trouble.
4-87-8!
Picking a pocket of an honest citizen!
We caught you cold this time Joe!
Heres the evidence!
You cant pin that lousy rep on me. Im clean as a whistle.
Youre just wasting the tax pairs money.
Yeah! Wasting the money and catching thieves.
In there Joey!
You the complaining witness.
Oh!
Im not complaining.
I just want to get my wallet back.
Well Im sorry we gotta keep this for evidence.
Well need a little information before we can release it.
Oh! Of course officer!
You can count on my fullest cooperation.
Good!
Thank you!
Now, just a moment! In there!
Theres a man in the tank that doesnt belong their sergeant.
He tell you that Don?
No I examined him!
Sure as soon their finished his booking, you can slip on our friend Joey their.
Look, I want him out of their right now!
Whats his name!
Clark!
Owen Clark, and he doesnt belong their.
Lets see Owen Clark!
Theres his book and D.M.D.!
I guess I have to talk to the caption huh!
Sure! Sure! Help yourself!
You wanna see me Doc?
Uh yes Captain!
I heard what you were saying out there!
What about this guy Clark?
From all the men he looks drunk, to the lame in anyway, but. But what?
I think he was slugged and probably robbed.
Is that your medical opinion?
He sustained a severe blow on the head that I know!
Copy the booking slip!
It showed that he had money in his wrist form which hand.
That blows half of your theory isnt it doc?
Im sorry captain.
But I think the man is suffering from concussion and shock.
Any reason he couldve tripped in his drunk and stooper and hit his head.
I dont think he tripped.
I think he was hit by some blunt instrument.
All drunks claiming that they was hit by some blunt instrument.
Alright!
What do you want to do with him?
Run a blood test, take an X-ray, and see an extend of the damage.
Ill give you the exact degree in 30 minutes, if you still doubt my diagnosis.
Not youre diagnosis Doc, youre guesswork!
Jack!
Caption Bates!
Yes!
Get that drunk and disorderly that Chavis and Gerrity brought in here.
If he can walk lets see if he can talk.
You want him now caption?
Yeah!
Bring him in here!
Alright!
Get out!
No! I dont wanna hurt you!
No!
With youre screaming no one will hear you.
Let me go!
Let me go right now!
Ow!
Oh theyll get you!
Youll never get away!
You killed him!
No I didnt!
I saw him move!
I saw him move!
Well then you can let me go!
No I cant!
Yes you can!
