and out of here.

You got a suitcase?

Where are your clothes?

Come on, come on.

Show me where your clothes are.

Are they in here?

Honey, where are your clothes?

- This is-This is it?

- Mm-hmm.

This is all you have?

You don't have a bag? Nothing.

Okay.

All right. Let's go,

let's go, let's go!

Let's go, let's go,

let's go!

Hey, hey! You don't got

to shove him like that.

- Sir, step aside, please.

- What is your name?

Sir, I'm gonna ask you

one last time to step aside.

I will not step aside until

I know your name, lady.

My name is Miss Martinez,

Family Services. You have an issue?

- I have an issue, Miss Martinez. It's you.

- Here's a card. Why don't you give them a call?

- Thank you.

- Thank you. Come on.

I-I have friends in the- in the

D.A.'s office, Miss Martinez.

- You'll be hearing from me.

- Are we done?

We are done.

Marco!

Wait up.

All right, all right.

Come on, kid.

# The show must go on #

# Hey, one monkey don't

stop no show #

# If you don't want my love #

# You're free to go #

# You can go, you can go,

you can go #

# Life s a play #

# We play different parts #

# But to be a star in love,

you've got to feel it in your heart #

# You've been acting strange

You don't love me with soul #

# Well, there's lots of other guys

who'd love to play your role #

# If you don't want to be

my leading man #

# Get out of my life

and let me live again #

- # You can go, you can go #

- # Ah #

- # The show must go on #

- # Oh... Oh #

# Hey, hey, one monkey #

Don't you think we should have

this discussion in private?

No. Anything you have to say to me,

you can say in front of them.

I'm sorry.

I'm from Walla Walla,

Washington.

Walla Walla, Washington.

Very fun to say.

And when I graduated college,

I took over the family insurance business.

I married my sweetheart,

and everything was perfect, except-

Let me guess. Selling insurance

bored you to death...

and you secretly longed to meet

the drag queen of your dreams.

Oh, it's the oldest

story in the book.

Boy meets girl, boy loses girl...

boy kicks open the closet door

and finally meets Mr. Right.

I don't know.

Anyway, I got a divorce...

and, uh, loaded my

suitcase into the car...

and I moved here to study law

and change the world.

How's that world changing going?

Honestly, when I got this job,

I thought I'd make a difference, you know?

I-I thought- I-I- I thought

I'd fight the good fight...

protect the innocent

and prosecute the guilty.

Uh, I'm just babbling now.

Tell me about you.

- You don't want to know about me.

- Yes, I do.

No, well-

No, there's really nothing to it.

- I don't believe that.

- Okay!

- Do you really wanna know

about me? - I do.

- Georgie, give me the blues in "F."

- What are you doing?

You just sit here and look pretty.

# Well, I was born across the country

in a place they call Queens #

# But I left my home behind me

way back in my teens #

# Now I live in the

so-called paradise #

# Where they spray

their grass green #

# Ain't got much in the

way of possessions #

# I ain't got much dough #

# I work in this bar to pay my rent

Keep the wolf from the door #

# There are better things in life

than money #

# But I still would

like some more #

# So, you want to know

about me, baby #

# Well, I'm here for you #

# I've got exes and baggage

and hang-ups and sh*t #

# And so do you #

# We could stay in this bar

all night talkin' #

# Or go to your car

for Round 2 #

Boy, you've got an amazing voice.

Yeah, this lip-synch thing,

it's just a cover.

What I really want to

be is Bette Midler.

- You should do it.

- What?

Sing. Do your own stuff.

I don't know, make a demo.

Making a demo takes time and money,

both of which are in short supply these days.

What the hell?

- What?

- Stop the car.

Sh*t.

Marco! Hey.

How- How did you get

all the way over here?

I walked.

You walked?

Where are you going?

Home.

Home, like, to your mommy's place?

You're going the wrong way.

Come on.

He's not a stray dog, you know?

You can't just keep him.

I'm not gonna keep him.

I'm just gonna-

I don't know.

Once they find out where he is,

Family Services is gonna come take him.

Then we'll hit the road,

me and Marco, like fugitives...

always one step ahead of the law.

I can already see my outfit.

- Houndstooth suit, black overcoat

and a gray fedora. - Shut up.

I will look fabulous.

What?

You're remarkable.

- Oh, stop with the compliments

already. - I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm kidding.

Don't stop.

Tell me all the ways

I'm remarkable.

It's like nothing scares you.

Yeah.

Well, that's a front.

I'm actually terrified of wearing

white after Labor Day.

# If only you believe like

I believe, baby #

Good morning.

- Oh, what time is it?

- 8:
30.

Oh, sh*t!

Have you got time for

breakfast before you go?

No. I'm already late.

- How about lunch?

- No, I have plans.

- Dinner?

- Look, I'm really, really late.

Uh, just give me your number,

and I'll call you later.

Uh, yeah, right. That's the thing.

I- I don't have a phone.

Uh, well, call me at

the office, okay?

Will you take my call this time?

Ex-Excuse me.

I'm hungry.

Oh.

Then let's get you some food,

young man.

So, um, what do you eat

for breakfast?

Doughnuts.

Doughnuts are poison. They make you fat

and give you pimples, okay?

Um, let's see. Oh.

Do you like peanut butter?

Carrots?

Cheese. Ooh!

Cheese and... crackers.

There we are.

Cheese and crackers.

Breakfast of champions.

It's what they eat in France.

Hmm.

- Pay up or get out.

- I got it. I got it.

- What's he doing here?

- He's just dropped by for breakfast.

There. It's all there.

Do you want to count it?

- Do Family Services people know he's here?

- No, they do not.

And I'd prefer to keep it that way.

Thank you.

Okay, young man.

We've gotta get a move on. You eat

your breakfast, and I will put my face on.

Hey, sport.

Hey.

I heard you had some... interesting

visitors in your office yesterday.

Yeah. My cousin.

He can be a little

high-strung.

- Cousin, huh?

- Yeah, on my mother's side.

He was upset about a custody issue.

I thought you told me all your family

lived in Washington.

They do.

But your cousin lives here, huh?

Are you deposing me?

Relax, sport.

I'm just making conversation.

Uh, Mr. Fleiger-

Hi, Mr. Wilson.

Yes, Monica?

Uh, that guy, Mr. Donatello,

is on the phone.

Thank you.

Um, I was about to go

and get some lunch...

and I was wondering if maybe you

wanted me to get you something...

or if you wanted to

come with me?

No, thank you. I'm not hungry.

I'm just gonna work through lunch.

Okay. Cool.

You dirty dog.

What?

You didn't tell me you were

gettin' down with that.

I'm not gettin' down with that.

Relax, sport.

Your secret's safe with me.

Oh.

We got a problem.

Why?

The manager of my building saw me with Marco

this morning, and I think he called the cops.

Wow.

Just stay away from the building

until we get this all sorted out.
