Chill.

What happened

to your head?

What happened

to your nose?

It's all right.

Did you get everything

on the tape?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I also popped

the trunk of his car.

You stopped to do that

and didn't come

to help me?

First things first,

my darling.

Carl, come here.

Now, look.

Now, if he moves

or even looks like

he's gonna wake up,

crown him.

Ok.

Wasn't anything on the tape

about the jewelry?

Not that I recorded.

[Banging]

Carl. Carl!

Carl, I said

only if he wakes up.

I thought

i saw him move,

like,

just a little bit.

Yeah.

I got to stop

doing this sh*t.

Yeah, sure,

Bernie, sure.

No, really.

It's in your blood.

You can't quit.

Take it from

somebody who knows.

Oh, really, Mr. I'm-a-

detective-in-a-chintzy-coat-

with-a-retirement-plan,

really?

Really, my love.

Say, there, ray,

you're kind of cute.

Hey, god damn it.

I could

get behind you.

Bernie, what

are you doing?

I want to talk

to you, ray.

I want to get

up in your face.

As a matter of fact,

i think I'm gonna

get up in your face

and tell you this

to your mug.

Keep your behind

out of my bookstore

because I know

you can't read.

Bernie, I thought

we were a team.

Team this, honey.

Hey, get off me

and go get Carl

before

he kills that guy.

I'm not going

back over there.

I just came

out of the water...

anytime my eyes

are tellin' you a story

there's a happy endin'

but what you might hear

isn't always

what I'm sayin' to you

oh, yeah

when you read my lips,

you're takin' inventory

so I keep pretendin'

oh, I need

time out

how did I get

in this fix, baby?

time out

the fates

are up to their tricks

time out

I'm out on a limb,

i sink or swim

time out

'cause I'm takin' leave

think of life

as a tightrope

there's one way in

or out

I could fall

if I can't cope

but I'm stayin'

on my toes

don't give up

don't give up

till it's over

over

what I should do

is think

this whole thing through

time out

some days

you've got to think fast

time out

you hope

your luck's gonna last

time out

I'm out on a limb,

i sink or swim

time out 'cause

I'm cashin' in, baby

time out

how did I get

in this fix?

time out

the fates

are up to their tricks

time out

I'm out on a limb,

i sink or swim

time out

'cause I'm cashin' in

time out

time out

some days you've

got to think fast

time out

you hope

your luck's gonna last

time out

I'm out on a limb,

i sink or swim

time out 'cause

I'm cashin' in, baby

time out

oh, how did i

get in this fix?

time out

the fates

are up to their tricks

time out

oh, I'm out on a limb,

i sink or swim

time out

'cause I'm cashin' in

oh, no

time out

heaven only knows

what I can do now

heaven only knows

i should cut this out

so I turn around

and ask myself

what this world

is all about

heaven only knows

i should cut this out

heaven only knows

i can't do without

heaven only knows

i should cut this out

and I turn around

and ask myself

what this world

is all about

heaven only knows

i should cut this out

heaven only knows

i can't do without

heaven only knows

i should cut this out
