Heaven Can Wait Page #6

That son of a b*tch got my team.

What kind of pressure

did he use, Milt?

Well, I asked for 67 million,

and he said OK.

Ruthless bastard.

Well, very, very nice.

Very, very, impressive.

I'm Tony Abbott, Mr Farnsworth's

personal private executive secretary.

Very nice. Very... very nice.

Don't let any of Mr Farnsworth's

racial statements offend you.

Nice talking to you.

Come on, fellas.

Get rid of that ball fast, all right?

Good luck, Mr Farnsworth.

Don't worry about the plays.

I got them down last night.

- Yes, sir.

- I want to run a split right, X-go,

Z-curl, a Y-straight.

Like the Super Bowl. Break.

Ready? Break.

Tighten it up.

Look at them.

That's how they look when they eat.

Look out.

4-3, set!

2-85!

Sorry, Mr Farnsworth.

- Nice.

- Let's try it again, Mr Farnsworth.

OK, get him back in there.

Let's go! Let's go!

Try it with the ball!

Come on, positions!

Playing football is so much fun.

Try this time.

- Set!

- Come on now!

2-81!

I'm terribly sorry, Mr Farnsworth.

This is really embarrassing.

Come on. Help him up.

I guess you went offsides.

Come on, guys, get him,

get him, get him.

Give me a little more room, Billy.

Set!

Let's all try and stay onsides.

2-85!

- Better get a stretcher.

- Jesus!

He's an eccentric.

We've always known that.

Eccentric? Buying

a football team for 67 million

- that has a book value of 19?

- Harry.

Three weeks ago,

the stock was selling at 56.

This morning it opened at 14.

Go, go, go.

- You want a rest, Mr Farnsworth?

- No, no, it's OK.

Mr Farnsworth is taking the Rams to

the Super Bowl as their quarterback.

No sign of aberration

in his behaviour?

Nothing in his personal life

bothering him?

That statement speaks for itself.

All right, I'm going to save

you guys some trouble.

Want me to quit?

Give me the ball once.

If I don't hit Evans, I'll quit.

- Ready?

- Break!

Look out!

Hey, now!

On three!

Set!

Beautiful!

There's a potential there! He's...

- OK.

- Take it easy.

I know.

- Sh*t, man, what you doing?

- What's he doing?

Ready? Break.

Red right, red right. Watch the pass.

4-3. Set! 3!

Not bad.

1-81!

Jesus.

I think we got us

a rich quarterback.

He's looking awful good.

Boy, you pulled it off.

Yeah? I don't know.

I think I can do it.

Hey, Mr Farnsworth,

play any college ball?

No. I played a little polo.

Look, look.

He brought the whole team.

That's not a football team.

There are old men

and skinny younger men.

Look at the women.

That's the ecology group

Exo-Grey is funding.

He's getting ready to spring a trap.

This whole thing.

The football team gag,

the ecology crap, the divorce...

The only thing he has not announced

is our divorce and when he does,

I'll be the first suspect

when we kill him.

Darling, perhaps I'm being silly,

but I'd be more comfortable...

Have I offended you in some way?

Don't put your hand

over my mouth again.

- You used to like it.

- Listen,

if we don't act now, we'll lose it.

I was mad to sign a prenuptial

agreement.

I'll get an allowance.

You'll be fired.

- We'll have each other.

- Not after he brings charges...

Don't!

Is it?

Want to make a wish?

- Yes.

- All right. There.

Go ahead.

Very good.

Tell me, do you think it's silly,

me trying to be a football player?

Of course not. That's what you want.

You think I can do it?

I think you could do

anything you wanted.

Anything you committed yourself

to do, you could do.

Because I'm a big wheel

at Exo-Grey?

- You're not afraid of things.

- Afraid of things? Why would I be?

Well, you know, most people are

afraid of something, aren't they?

You want to know

the only thing I'm afraid of?

How I'd feel

if I couldn't be with you.

Then there's nothing

to be afraid of, is there?

Got to go.

Wait a minute. I'd...

How would you feel about marrying me?

It's crazy?

No, it doesn't sound crazy.

You know, if I...

What is it? What is it?

Could you wait here?

I'll be right back.

What do you want?

I'm sorry, Mr Pendleton,

you won't be able to use

Mr Farnsworth's body any longer.

What are you talking about?

Just what I said.

Your time is up. You don't fit.

You said I'd get to the Super Bowl.

Whatever you do, it won't be

with Mr Farnsworth's body.

- Why not?

- It wasn't meant to be.

- Why not?

- Stop saying that!

I won't keep paying for your mistake.

- Look, Mr Pendleton...

- I'm not talking to you.

Tell Mr Jordan

I'd like to talk to him.

We'll settle this once and for all.

Get out of here. You're bad news.

- Is something wrong?

- No, it's...

I just got to straighten

something out.

Maybe I better walk you to the car.

Something is wrong, isn't it?

- I was just thinking, Betty.

- What?

We got a great life ahead,

you and me,

and nobody's going

to take that away from us.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm memorising your face. I want

to memorise everything about you

so no matter what happens,

I won't forget you.

- What's going to happen?

- Nothing's going to happen.

You'd never forget me either,

would you?

- No.

- That thing you said you saw in me.

It was something in my eyes.

Remember?

If some day somebody came up to you,

maybe a football player,

and he acted like

he'd seen you before,

you'd notice that same thing, right?

You'd give him a chance?

He might be a good guy.

- He could even be a quarterback.

- I don't understand.

I'm just acting crazy.

Betty?

It's all right.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

You must abide by what is written.

Why?

There's a reason for everything.

There's always a plan.

- How can I give up Farnsworth now?

- I'm sorry, Joe.

You said we'd get to the Super Bowl.

Yes, if it's meant to be.

- I'm not leaving.

- Sorry.

- I'm not leaving, Mr Jordan.

- Joe,

you asked

for a temporary arrangement.

I never went back on a deal,

but I am now. I'm not going.

Your destiny is not in my hands.

Please don't make it more difficult.

I won't. I'm just not going to do it.

Joe, you must abide

by what is written.

She loves me, Mr Jordan.

Joe, you must abide

by what is written.

Don't be afraid, Joe. There is

a plan. There's always a plan.

Bentley, have you seen

Mr Farnsworth?

No, sir, I haven't.

- Guess I'll just keep looking.

- Yes, sir.

Joe, you in here?

Are you in there, Mr Farnsworth?

Yes.

Yes!

Listen, Your Highness, I'm telling

you what I told the Mayor last week.

By the end of the week,

I'll crack this case.

Right. Another Arab.

Son of a b*tch Farnsworth

was into everything,

and now he's vanished, disappeared.

This is the craziest nut

I've ever had to deal with.

He wasn't fooling around.

If he was alive, he'd be here.

You're asking me to believe Leo

Farnsworth asked you to marry him?

Yes. He was going to get a divorce.

When I left, he said he'd call me,

but something happened.

- How do you know?

- Because he didn't call me.

He would have kept his word.

With less than 24 hours

before the big game,

the whereabouts of Leo Farnsworth
