Annie's Point Page #5

Why don't we stop

and see him?

Doug?

I wouldn't know

what to say.

Oh, poo!

Yes, officer.

We are always having

trespassers.

This is not a public pool,

you understand.

I understand, sir.

I'll take care of it.

I thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, well, um...

That gentleman there...

that's Mr. Langelos.

Does he live

at the country club?

Uh, heh. Ma'am...

This isn't a country club.

It's his private

residence.

Oh, my.

My partner here will

drive your car behind me,

Save you a $100

impound fee.

Thank you.

Sure.

Just, uh,

come this way.

Thank you.

Ok.

Turn the other way.

One day we'll

look back on this

As our

"night in jail".

Boy, Doug would

find this a real hoot.

His goodie-goodie

sister in the can.

Grandma,

this isn't funny!

God, don't you take

anything seriously?

Oh, we'll be

out of here in no time.

We don't have money

for the fine.

We're gonna have to

call dad.

I'm sure he'll be

joining us

Sooner rather

than later.

Uh, you sure there isn't

anyone you'd like to call?

Uh, in a moment, son.

Right now...

Would you mind

Pointing me to that

bathroom over there?

Uh... Well,

miss Eason, um...

Oh, call me Annie.

Annie. That's really just

for police personnel only.

Now, you wouldn't want your

mother using that, would you?

Uh, no, ma'am.

Could you find it

in your heart to...

Treat me like your

mother? Just this time?

Uh...

What the heck.

This way.

Where's your partner?

Oh, he's out

on a call.

Would you be a dear...

And make sure

it's clean?

I have a thing

about bathrooms.

Sure.

Yep, looks ok

to me, Annie.

Annie?

Let's go.

Annie?

No!

Ella Mildred Eason...

It's now or never.

Cross another one

off life's to-do list.

We're a regular

Thelma and Louise.

We're gonna

go to jail.

We've already

been to jail.

No, I mean,

real jail,

Where there's gangs

and murderers.

Don't be silly.

We're gonna get

caught, grandma.

Relax, Ella bear.

Relax?

How am I supposed

to relax?

You guilted me into going

on this trip with you.

You... you lied

and told me

You need some kind

of heart surgery.

And then you broke us

out of jail.

You don't need me on

this trip with you.

You just need

a chauffeur.

That's not true.

Oh, yeah?

Well, that's how

I see it.

You're going through

a very hard time,

And it's hard to see the

light at the end of the tunnel.

But trust me. Trust

yourself. It will be there.

And as far as needing

a chauffeur,

I don't need a chauffeur.

I need a best friend.

And she happens to be

sitting right here next to me.

Oh, come here.

Now, tell me

that didn't feel good.

That didn't feel good.

Ok, it felt

kind of good.

Oh...

Just make that

the last thing

We cross

off the list.

Deal.

Ohh.

I drove just about

all night.

Sweetheart,

where are you?

Some small town in Kansas,

near Colorado.

I'm gonna send you

this email right now.

I hope it helps.

Brenda, I know.

I know that the project

is in jeopardy.

You're just gonna have to stall

them as best you can, all right?

Ok, I'm gonna send this to you. Fine.

Ok, bye.

Ok, bye.

Excuse me.

Um...

Where are we?

Arizona.

About 40 Miles

from Nevada.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

What?

What you just did...

it's called flirting.

No, it isn't.

"Thank you."

Stop it.

You should be proud

of yourself.

You're a good flirt.

Oh. Only two left.

Ok, we need to

get you some more pills

And some good rest.

I'll have all the rest

I need before long.

You know what?

I'm gonna call my dad.

The least he can do

is wire us some money.

Ella...

I'm going to call him.

What are you

looking for?

My phone.

Maybe it's in the car.

I left it on that

policeman's desk.

Oh, boy.

Hello?

Who's this?

Uh, this is the police in

rand junction. Who is this?

This is Richard Eason.

Is everything all right?

You wouldn't know Annie

and Ella Eason, would you?

Yes, that's my mother

and my daughter.

Are they all ri...

what have they done?

Why don't I tell you

where I'm at,

And we can talk

in person?

You're not from here,

are you?

It's the clothes,

isn't it?

Your car's Illinois

license plates.

I saw you drive up.

How long are you

and your mom in town for?

Oh, that's

my grandmother.

We're just...

Passing through.

I'm sorry. I didn't

even introduce myself.

I'm Scott tardy.

Oh, uh...

Ella Eason.

Very nice to

meet you, Ella.

You, too.

If, uh...

You're staying in town,

And if you and your grandmother

want something different to do,

It's open-Mike night tonight.

It's pretty popular.

Ok, I'll ask her.

Ask me what?

I thought maybe we

could come back later

For some coffee.

Oh, I'm sorry, Scott.

This is my grandmother

Annie.

I told Ella

it's open-Mike night,

And we get some

pretty good singers.

Ella has the voice of an Angel. Grandma.

You didn't tell me

you could sing.

I'm not surprised.

Would you sing

for us tonight?

No...

she'd love to.

Great. I'll see you

tonight.

What did you

do that for?

You have to sing

sometime.

He is so cute. Heh.

And you thought you didn't

know how to flirt.

Come on.

Listen, I can't

apologize enough for this.

It's all right.

It turns out the charges

were dropped.

They were?

Yeah.

It seems that,

uh, Mr. Langelos

Was a little taken

with your mother.

Ah, she was skinny-dipping, you know.

I mean, of course

I was, uh...

I was fixing to let them

go before the escape.

Now, if this were

to get out,

I would be the butt of

all the jokes in town.

So, uh... I'd just as

soon keep this between us.

Well, I'd

appreciate that, too.

Thanks very much.

Have a safe trip.

Ok.

She really was?

Skinny-dipping?

Buck naked.

Brenda, did you

get the email I sent?

Yes.

And you passed

the schedule and figures

On to Backis, Weller

and Nucci?

Yep.

Ok, then.

I don't know what else

I can do for them.

Mm-hmm.

If they call again,

Tell them I've sent

everything they need

To keep the project

going forward.

Ok.

Now I have

to track down

My delinquent

mother and daughter.

Don't forget to eat.

Talk to you later.

Good evening, ladies.

You both look

lovely tonight.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I saved you a table,

just in case.

The coffee's on me.

Ella, you go on

in 20 minutes.

I can't wait

to hear you sing.

Me, either.

Somebody has

a crush on you.

Yeah, well, he won't after

I vomit all over his stage.

You're gonna be great.

First of all, I'd like

to thank you all

For coming down here

We have a treat for you.

Do you remember

what I told you

About how I talk

to grandpa?

Now, close your eyes.

Go sing this

for your mama.

Please welcome... Ella.

I'm sorry.

This is for my mom...
