robot man?

Call me if you need anything.

Good morning, Billy.

Man, I knew you was FBl.

Hi, Roy.

Got to go to a funeral today.

Whatever.

I have to attend a funeral.

"... To our Lord Jesus Christ.

We commend to Almighty God

our brother Henry."

He's my husband...

...not my brother.

Give him back!

"Ashes to ashes...

...dust to dust.

The Lord bless him and keep him, the

Lord make His face to shine upon him...

...and be gracious to him.

The Lord lift up His countenance

upon him and give him peace.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want."

Bottom bun, bottom beef, bottom cheese.

Middle bun, top beef, top cheese.

Special sauce, lettuce,

onion chunks, two pickles...

...top bun and box it.

Bastard!

How dare you do this to me?

Mom, sit.

Sorry.

"The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down

in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the path...

Excuse me. Sorry.

Excuse me.

"Yea, though I walk through

the valley of the shadow of death...

...I will fear no evil...

...for Thou art with me.

Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me."

Dorian, are you feeling well?

What made you kick over the flowers?

My foot was asleep.

Stop it!

She was there.

The woman Henry was seeing.

Who was she?

I don't know.

I could feel her. Like the sick,

sweet smell of a cow's breath.

Makes sense, though,

if she really cared.

There was a lot of women there.

There was a lot of women

from the factory.

Maybe I should check out

the funeral register book and just...

...see.

Maybe I ought to nose around

the factory a little some too.

Maybe check out Henry's old office.

That's a good idea.

You're going to run me off the road!

Stop it!

Don't mistreat your brother.

Hi, there!

Hello again.

You want to see Sally?

Come on in.

I'm real sorry about your husband.

That rat bastard?

Forget about it. Come on in.

I'll look around to see

if she's decent.

Baby?

Look who's here.

I was in the neighborhood

so I thought I'd...

...stop by.

Billy told you I had to go to a funeral?

You okay?

Yes.

Big country music fan?

Yeah. I have always dreamed

of being a big hit singer.

You sing?

No.

But you want to be a singer?

I dream of being a singer.

I think that's why

it's called a dream.

I wanted to talk to you

about something...

...that we talked about yesterday.

Would you like to go for a ride?

Sure.

We could go look at

one of the helicopters.

The real ones.

I'd like that.

You want to see the helicopters?

Mama, I'll be back in a little bit.

Ls that it?

Yeah, that's it.

Young captain!

What you up to, Randy?

About half-mast, at least.

Who's your lady friend?

Randy, this is Sally.

Sally, this is Randy.

- It's a pleasure to meet you.

- The pleasure's mine.

When y'all expecting?

I just came by to show Sally

where her tax dollars are going.

Get in the cockpit.

I don't think that's a good thing...

It's a $ 10 million aircraft, Daddy.

Good vibes for your baby.

Careful.

She's all right.

There you go.

Got to have a helmet

to sit in the cockpit.

How do I look?

Like you were born to it.

This is exactly where Dorian sits.

Copilot-gunner.

20-millimeter Vulcan cannon

under the chin.

You sight it by eye through your helmet.

Whatever you look at gets smoked.

Just a sec.

Turn your head now.

There you go!

Just the trick for your young captain...

...to crap thunder on the unsuspecting.

Can you get us some Yoo-Hoos?

I'd appreciate it.

I'm reading you.

You done good, son.

All right, then.

I'm sorry.

It's nothing. I'm all right.

I really need to...

Do you mind if I ask you

about the father of your baby?

His name was Henry.

He was older than me.

Did you love him?

At one time.

But not now?

He made it hard for me by lying to me.

I don't think you can

love somebody that lies to you.

He found out I was pregnant...

...and tried to talk me

out of having it...

...and suddenly turned out

to be married.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, you know.

I got to tell you something

that's important.

It's real important.

Ls that what you wanted to tell me?

I liked it.

I want you to know...

...I plan on introducing myself

to Henry's wife.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

I really want to have the chance

to explain myself...

...before she finds any pictures.

What pictures?

Pictures of Henry and me.

Nothing bad.

Where would she find pictures

of you and Henry?

Ln his office, I think.

That's where he keeps his stuff.

Thank you.

I'll find my way out.

Grab some cartons when you leave.

On the house.

Find anything?

- What's happening?

- Exactly. What's going on?

Are you trying to score

Brownie points with Mom?

What do you got in your hand?

Are those pictures?

- Let me see.

- It's nothing special.

Can I see them?

Thank you. Very much.

Legs.

Look what we have here.

We got her.

Who?

We got her.

Who?

I can't believe she...

...had the audacity

to smile at me at the funeral.

She smiled at me.

Did you see that?

What do you plan on doing,

peeking in her windows?

If you're coming with me...

...put on this because

you're reflecting light.

She lives in a trailer.

A trailer!

How perfect is that?

So what?

So what?

Angus!

What the hell is that?

You said you'd just spy on her.

Get in here and shut up.

Wait a second. This is bad.

It's genius.

Doors are all locked from the inside.

No signs of forced entry.

No fingerprints.

The perfect murder.

It came to me last night

in a beautiful flash of inspiration.

Carbon monoxide?

Yeah. Very hip right now.

Where will the cops think

the carbon monoxide came from?

I don't know, faulty gas stove.

Things happen all the time.

It's all electric!

Vitas Gerulaitis.

I've got 2 words for you too.

Damn it, Dorian!

Let go of that!

Goddamn it!

Settle down!

Turn it off!

Turn it off. It's not her.

It's not her.

She's not the one.

Not the woman he was seeing.

- What are you saying?

- Think about it.

- When was the picture taken?

- I don't know.

At the last factory Christmas party.

So what?

So who was most likely

to take the picture?

- I don't know.

- Mom.

What are you saying?

You think Mom's so feeble...

...she'd take a snapshot

of this romance...

...and not do anything about it?

Come on!

What's that?

You can't touch everything.

You get fingerprints all over.

You're not even wearing gloves.

Come on, Dorian.

Wake up.

No, not her.

How do you know?

Please!

See her thick ankles?

Girl stomps around

on corned beef cans.

Nope, I would have known.

I would've smelled it on her.

Besides, she's a lesbian.

So she couldn't have been

the one Henry was seeing?

Next time use your head

before you try to kill someone.

I'm glad you were thinking.

I saved his life.

Wouldn't have had to

if you'd had the right house.

Stop putting him up to this.

Putting him up to what?

Mary-Louise Heartfield

certainly has let herself go.

Beautiful skin takes work.
