I'm sorry about that.
- I think you should apologise.
- OK, ma'am, I apologise.
- Not to me! To him!
- Now, wait just a minute.
No, I don't want no apologies.
Just keep that creep
away from me, huh?
Joe...
Joe! Joe!
Thanks.
Do you know how long
it's taken me to find that boy?
- I'll be glad to go get him for you.
- No.
- I'll be glad to bring him back, really.
- By the scruff of the neck?
And we wonder why
these kids hate cops.
Found something about New York
you like, Tex?
He just calls me that.
Really my name is Coogan.
If I fouled things up for you,
I'm sorry.
- I just thought...
- Did you? Think?
Well, yeah. I just...
We don't treat people like that
in New York, Mr Coogan.
- How do you treat 'em?
- Try me.
- It's a long story.
I just happen to have some time.
Here.
Maybe you know a nice little place
we can have lunch and talk about it.
Sorry, Mr Coogan.
You're not my type.
How can you tell?
- The hat, maybe.
- Oh, that? That comes right off.
Are you dense, or just stubborn?
Hungry mostly.
Come on.
You know, I'm always interested
in new techniques.
Psychophysiological, hm?
It's a branch of psychology
that deals with
the fundamental relationships
between mind and body.
So it's psychophysiological
autogenesis.
Alphagenics for short.
- Alphagenic?
- Mm.
I've been experimenting
with it up at my place...
- You live near here?
- Not far.
You do this experiment
at your house, hm?
Oh, yes, it's much better there. It's
warm and informal. At the precinct...
Seems like an interesting setup.
In fact...
Thank you.
- What do you want?
- Your check, sir.
- Yeah, I saw it.
- Oh, it is getting late.
Why don't you just run along, huh?
- Yes, sir.
- Waiter, just a minute.
It's after three.
I have to be going.
- What are you doin'?
- Dutch.
- You're the girl, aren't you?
- There have been rumours to that effect.
Well, you just sit back
and act like one.
How?
Take everything you can get,
that's how.
Is that the way the
girls act in Arizona?
That's the way everybody
acts everywhere.
You too?
- Especially me.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
- Uh... I'll take my bag.
- That's all right. I'll carry it.
- But I have to go now.
- Fine. Where to?
You don't understand.
I have a dozen things to do.
- Good. I'll help you.
- But I'll be all day and half the night.
I've got nothing but time.
I wouldn't get too
comfortable, Mr Coogan.
Nobody calls me "Mr"
with my boots off.
I don't know your first name.
How about just Coogan,
without the "Mr"?
Julie.
I don't remember telling you mine.
Yeah, well,
that's my police trainin'.
Po-lice trainin'?
Yeah.
See, it's on your magazines here.
Name and address
of the subscription.
How are you?
I thought you wanted
to learn about alphagenics.
Oh, I do. I do.
Good.
My files.
I only handle young,
single girls.
Yeah.
Me too.
Now, briefly...
autogenesis is basically
a programme of...
self-regeneration,
- the main point of attack being the...
- What?
core of self-contempt
that is always a principal factor.
This we do by means...
of a tape recorder,
which is right here.
The programme is based on behavioural
psychological principles,
the position being that all
human and animal response...
is the result of...
conditioned reflex...
which, as you know, is simply
a particular bodily response...
to a particular...
stimulus.
- Phone.
- Forget it.
Hello?
Yes, this is she. Who?
Laura!
It's one of my girls.
Yes?
Oh, not him again.
Now, you know that the terms of your
probation specifically stated that...
Well, of course it's difficult.
I understand that
better than you think.
Well, yes, he's...
You can always say no,
can't you?
No.
All right. Fine.
I'll expect you in five minutes.
Five minutes.
Yeah.
Five minutes.
- Yeah?
- Single.
How long you gonna be staying?
No longer than I can help it.
All right. Room 304.
That'll be $7, in advance.
- The sign says five.
- Seven without luggage.
That ain't luggage.
A cab driver in this town'd
give you an argument.
- Do you want the room or not?
- No, no, I'll take it.
Excuse me, sir.
After you, sir.
- You really hit the jackpot tonight, sir.
- Yeah.
Fell right into it and came up
with a rose in your nose.
A lonesome lady
just down the hall.
I think she was stood
up on a date tonight.
And beautiful.
I mean, all the tools.
So long.
No trouble to give a
knock on the door.
So long, buddy.
Hi.
Help a lady in distress?
Wrong room.
I'm a girl who never had trouble
with a zipper in her life...
until tonight.
Be an angel man.
Up or down?
Well, let's put it this way, sport:
you're drivin'.
Out.
What's the matter?
- Are you some kind of religious fanatic?
- Come on, out.
All right, you cheap bum.
Hold on a minute.
Texas f*ggot!
You Texas boys get up early.
It's Arizona.
And I figured I'd better get here
before the cuckoos start gatherin'.
What do you want?
Ringerman... now.
You've got a problem.
You don't listen.
Number one.
First you go down to the
district attorney's office
where they check your papers.
The affidavit of flight, request
for extradition, and so forth.
Number two.
Then you go down to the Supreme
Court of the State of New York,
where Judge Acosta renders
the fugitive into your custody.
But you can't do anything
until they release Ringerman from
the prison ward at Bellevue. OK?
- You could get him.
- I'm a busy man.
You could walk right in
and get him for me.
Tex, you're getting on my nerves. What
gives with you people? Too much sun?
Let's make it simple. Get outta my office
and don't come back until I send for you.
Coogan.
Piute County Sheriff's Office.
Lieutenant McElroy sent me up here
to pick up a James Ringerman.
Ringerman?
Yeah. Said he'd appreciate it
if you'd snap it up a little.
He's parked in the ambulance zone.
The man said he can only stay a second.
If you'd be kind enough
to open this one.
No, not without a medical release.
I understood that medical release
went through last night.
Not listed here.
It probably hasn't reached
this department yet.
If you'll open up here, I can straighten
it out with the doctor right away.
I can't let you through.
He's already got one visitor.
Oh?
- That's it, huh?
- That's it.
What's your name, Officer?
- What for?
- Well, when somebody asks me
why Judge Acosta of the New York State
Supreme Court's been kept waiting,
I gotta give 'em a name.
- Yeah. Now, just a minute...
- Do I get the name
or do I have to have Lieutenant
McElroy come and get it for me?
Just a second!
Everybody tells me
somethin' different.
Rudy!
Take him in to see Ringerman.
You'll call the doc, huh?
Call the doc.
Well, looky, looky, looky!
And they say the West
ain't wild any more!
Hey, if it ain't Hoot Gibson!
Give me a home
where the buffalo roam
