'Cause if you stick around here,

l'm gonna f*** your ass.

Send you home

with your balls in a sling.

Just get out of here...

...Kaffir lover.

Eenie...

...meenie...

...miney....

Hey, Moe!

Sorry, Adolf.

Pick them up with your hands.

Big smile. Big smile!

Vorstedt, come here.

Vorstedt!

-Hello, Officer...?

-Martin Riggs.

What are you doing here?

l've been with your boss...

shooting the breeze.

Shooting his fish.

The guy goes,

''But, but, but...you're black!''

He's black.

No sh*t.

He started some sh*t!

You get into Rudd's office?

l got up there.

Aryan Crud and his Brown Shirts

turned up, but l ripped this off a pad.

''Alba Varden, Thursday.'' Alba Varden?

lsn't that Hitler's girlfriend?

That's Eva Braun.

He has a date with her Thursday.

Her name sounds familiar.

l don't know her.

lt just sounds familiar. Alba Varden.

A deli! Let's eat. l'm starving.

l'll spring.

Let's go. Sounds good.

-Get out the other side, Leo.

-lt's okay!

No cars.

That policeman.

You should pick from the bottom.

They put the old stuff on top.

Officer Riggs!

l followed you from the consulate.

You followed me?

Well, l needed some pork chops

and a toilet brush, too.

l wanted to apologize...

...for the other day,

if we frightened you.

l was a bit startled by all those guns.

l'm sorry.

And l wanted to thank you, too.

Thank me for what?

You don't like your boss

very much, do you?

l don't like many things

about my boss and my country.

But l like my job very much.

lt keeps me here in Los Angeles.

You like this town?

That's a new one.

-l forgot your first name.

-lt's Rika.

Rika Van Haagen-Dazs.

-lce cream?

-No, Van den Haas. lt's Dutch.

That's real pretty.

You got a rabbit at home?

lt's mine.

Shop one day at a time?

Good police work, officer.

l get paid for that.

l don't shop for the entire week.

Why not?

l never know what l'll be hungry for.

Wait. Have dinner with me.

l got a nice place on the beach.

A good view from every window.

A beautiful sunset. Come on,

be original. Everyone else says no.

Come to my place. l'm a gourmet cook.

Let go of the basket.

l'll scream.

l'll embarrass you in public.

You'll turn red like that apple.

-Come on with me.

-No, no, please.

Let go of my bag! Look what she's

doing! Somebody call a cop!

What are you doing?

Let's go before someone calls a cop.

You are a cop.

You must be an honest cop.

lt ain't much, but it's everything

l said. Look at the view.

l did exaggerate

about one thing, though.

l'm not exactly a gourmet cook.

l can only make chili.

-Like it with crushed Oreos?

-Of course.

A woman after my own heart.

Watch your step.

Sam wants in.

Here, sit down.

Oh, wait a minute. A little filthy.

l have no wine. How about a beer?

That's fine.

She drinks beer.

What's the matter?

You got a dirty glass?

Oh, it's the wedding ring.

l used to be married.

Not any more?

Not any more.

l've got something on the stove.

Rudd's hiding behind

his diplomatic credentials, isn't he?

Rudd's hiding behind

his diplomatic credentials.

He's not a very nice guy.

Whatever he's doing...

...he shouldn't get away with it.

How's it hanging, Wyler?

-What do you want?

-l hope better than Murtaugh.

Easy, easy.

Tell me something. Have your brains

ever seen the light of day?

Who are you?

What do you want? l'm a cop!

No, you were a cop.

Hurry up, honey.

l'm going to take a couple laps

before l go to the station.

Sam, take a hike.

No Stooges tonight. Go on.

Get that beer in here.

Don't worry about it.

Cavanaugh, are you in or out?

l'm out.

Put some music on.

Who's not accounted for?

Riggs and Murtaugh.

Murtaugh's taking the witness

to a new location.

-And Riggs?

-Hasn't checked in yet.

Get on the radio and find them!

We lost Wyler, Collins, Cavanaugh.

How many do we have to lose?

Let's worry about the ones

that are alive, all right? Do it.

Sorry, Captain.

Get me Riggs.

l'll get that.

Wrong number.

Thanks to you, l missed my poker game

and l was feeling real lucky.

Okay, so what l see are nice,

conservative tax returns.

Everything by the book,

black and white.

So you just need to play around

in the gray areas...

...if you want to see some bucks.

On your salary, there's not much

to do but you need deductions.

-My boat.

-You can't deduct it.

No, it's the bill of sale.

l know, but you can't do it.

That's it, my boat! Let's go!

To my house.

Because of my boat.

Look at this commercial.

Look at the body on this kid.

She is so hot.

What are you doing? l want to look

at the girl! Why'd you do that?

l didn't hear you say that.

Say what? She's great.

She makes me want to buy rubbers.

Time for the seventh inning stretch.

That's a baseball expression.

l know.

But we're only up to the fourth inning.

Batter up.

Stay in the car.

l'll only be a minute, okay?

Stay in the car? lt's cold.

You have no door.

You're the reason there's no door.

Turn on the heat.

Don't touch anything.

Nothing. l mean nothing!

Alba Varden. Why do l know the name?

lt's here. lt's got to be.

-Another day, another hobby.

-Yeah, another hobby. What's new?

That's the day on my boat.

lt's not there. Where is it?

My birthday.

l'll be damned.

Alba Varden is a ship, not a woman.

Leo, l told you to stay in the car!

Sh*t!

Nailed them both.

My car!

Leo!

Get up, get dressed.

Get dressed. Come on.

-l don't understand.

-Just trust me. l got a bad feeling.

Get in the truck.

The keys are under the front seat.

When they stop to reload,

run for the truck!

-What about you?

-l'll be okay.

l'll meet you in the truck. Go on!

Stay out of the light!

The master race.

You sh*t! Who were those people?

You tell me. Was it your husband?

What are you doing Saturday?

lt's Sam!

Head down!

Come on, Sam!

Come on, Sam.

Shake a leg.

You made it.

Has he got any holes in him?

Oh, you clever dog.

l promised to have you home by 11 .

This is the most incredible first date

l've ever been on.

Wait until the second one.

-No more helicopters, please.

-Okay, l promise.

This is a very nice building.

Any vacancies? l'm between homes.

You can stay right here.

l can?

Yes, there's

a vacant apartment up there.

l'm kidding.

You can stay with me.

Tonight?

Yes, tonight. And tomorrow night.

And the night after that.

And after that?

Don't push your luck.

l better go.

Go inside and lock all the doors

and stay there.

And you're not going to work tomorrow.

There's better ways of staying

in LA than working there.

All right. l've just quit.

l'll just grab a few things--

Hell, l haven't got anything.

Just bring yourself.

l better go.

Go home!

Go get the girl.

l would offer you a drink,

but l understand...

...you're on the wagon.

That stuff will kill you quick.

You know so much about me,

who are you?

l changed the course of your life.

Four years ago...

...when you was a narc at Long Beach...

...you were getting too close,

so we put a contract out on you.
