Get a good look at his face.

I don't see him.

What?

He's not here.

Are you sure?

Yep. I'm positive.

I got a great memory.

Hey! You want to have another look?

Not really.

Can I go home now?

Yeah.

Oh,

I thought you might not be coming.

Well, here I am.

So, what's good here, Joey?

Nothing, really.

Why do you come?

I like bad coffee.

Yes. This I understand.

He has all his shots.

Rabies, distemper, Bordetella.

He's been neutered.

All the papers are in the proper order.

You take your cut?

No. Not from you.

It is a culture's duty to

take care of its elderly.

It is a culture's duty to

take care of its elderly.

Where's the tattoo?

Henna, mi amigo.

Show the person with the worst

eyes an image he can't forget.

The policia will be

spinning around for years.

That looks like a gang tattoo to me.

If we can find this artist,

then we can find our perp.

Very impressive.

Eh, it's a tragedy.

FBI. Behind you. Six o'clock.

Agent Hamer,

would you like a bad coffee?

I'm a soy latte man, Mr. Harding.

I'm lactose intolerant.

You left that behind at evidence.

How did you find me?

Well, that's what I do.

I find people.

This is my friend, Jesus.

He fosters dogs.

Special Agent Hamer, FBI.

Jesus Garcia. Queens.

Are you adopting a puppy, Mr. Harding?

Yes, yeah. It's for my granddaughter.

She made the honor roll at school.

That's great.

I love puppies.

You mind?

Uh, he might be sleeping.

That's okay. I won't wake him.

Oh, good heavens, aren't you

just the cutest little thing?

Let me get a look at you

with your smushy face.

When I was just a kid,

I grew up with Border Collies.

Oh, now that's a great breed.

I just love Border Collies.

Yeah, they're wonderful.

Yeah, come here, little guy.

He's a cute little fella.

Attaboy, come here. Come

here, little fella.

Yeah, come over here.

Ah!

You little son of a b*tch.

Oh, be careful there. He's teething.

Yeah.

You have to watch his little razor blades.

Thanks.

We don't want you to bleed to death.

I got to get this little

guy back to the house

before my granddaughter gets out of school.

What a nice surprise for her.

It'll knock her socks off.

Do you have a dog now, Agent Hamer?

No. It's my job.

Long hours.

I couldn't do that to an animal.

All right. Let's get this

little fella to his new home.

You boys are killing me with these quar...

Someone just dropped off this present.

Whoa!

Big piece.

Cut them up.

"Everyone deserves a piece of the pie."

ALBERT; OW!

Sorry, Mr. Garner.

Thought you were tougher than that.

I'm not tough.

I'm a very sensitive person.

I'm going to be honest with you.

I don't really want to die today.

That's a new one.

But, if I do, I just want to say

that you've been a terrific

roommate and friend for...

25 years.

25 years? It's been that long?

Seems like 25 days, doesn't it?

Yeah, it does.

Underwater.

Good one.

All right, gentlemen. Here we go.

They say in life...

Come here!

If you're lucky, you get a

couple of great friends.

The people who are right

with you to the end.

You grow old together, see it all

together, do it all together,

laugh and cry together.

Al Garner was one of those guys for me.

There will not be many men like him.

Willing to risk all for others.

Give you a kind word

or a kidney.

And complain about it

every step of the way.

That's you.

That's not altogether true.

- Annie.

- Yes.

He's your problem now.

Thanks.

Good luck. May you enjoy every

minute of every moment you have.

We love you.

We love you too, young man.

Cheers! Cheers, everyone.

Cheers!

Let's give it up for the wedding party!

I'm gonna revise my estimate, Joey.

How's that?

I may be around another 20 years.

Not with Al's kidney.

That's 10 years, tops.

Close enough. I'll take it.

Here he comes.

What's the matter?

My face is killing me. I never

had to smile so much in my life.

So? What's it like?

What's what like?

Being married, dummy.

I don't know how any of this happened.

I mean, I don't even remember proposing.

I mean, I feel like a raccoon caught

in a bear trap with one leg stuck.

She's a terrific person.

I mean, she's sexy, we get it on.

She's a great cook.

She likes me the way I am.

I don't even like me the way I am.

Everything is terrific,

but I got to tell you,

I'm experiencing this very odd feeling.

I think it might be happiness.

Cheers! Your glass is officially full.
