You put out for him|in the woods did ya?

I love it|when you're drinking.

Well why didn't you tell me

about this Goddamn|legendary walk before?

No comment.

Listen,

I know his story's bullshit

because I got the|car out of the mud

and it was nothing.

If I can do it, anybody can.

Maybe he tried.

Maybe he couldn't.

He's old.

Corky never said he was old.

He must of to me.

When?

When we were|having dinner, probably.

He got squiffed fast|and flaked out.

That's what he said earlier.

And how did you know|he was old, did you see him?

Answer me, I'm talking to you!

No, I didn't see him.

Why not?

He must've wrung the bell.

I mean the guy|drives 90 miles,

he's gonna ring the Goddamn|doorbell, wouldn't you agree?

I didn't hear any bell.

Now quit this.

Why not?

What were you|doin' that was so...

Did he ring while you|were screwin', is that it?

That is it isn't it?

No it isn't.

Why didn't you|invite him in to watch?

Shut your dirty mouth.

Did you screw Corky?

No!

I'll pound you|all day, you keep lying!

I'm not lying!

The truth, the goddamn truth!

Did you f*** him?

No I didn't!

But I wanted to.

Come on, it'll be fun.

If you don't like fishin'

I'll let you row.

Just had a|good talk with Peg.

Like to have one with you now.

I'll grab a jacket.

Where is Peg?

She's in town making|a decision, she said.

Oh.

What are you doin' that for?

Uh, habit.

Hey, we trust each|other don't we?

Of course.

You seem upset.

Should I be?

Get in the front.

What are you lookin' for?

Nothin'.

You're the one wants to fish.

Why don't you try over there.

Here I'll do the rowing.

I know the best holes.

When I get us there|you can take over.

I'm not much on booze.

I told you that.

You told me a lot of things.

What's that supposed to mean?

Peg said you|screwed her last night.

Damn.

I told her to|keep it a secret.

You think it's funny do you?

Is that why you|brought me out here?

Try to get me to admit to|something that never happened?

If it is I'd like to|go back in now Duke.

What she said was,

she wanted to|go to bed with you.

I'm loosin' her Corky,

And I don't know what to do.

All she does is|talk about you Duke.

You're not losing anybody.

What I said before,

about quitting the|real estate business,

there was never any|real estate business to quit.

She came in when I was on top.

And she stuck with|me all the way down.

Goddamn it.

Oh, that's heavy.

Duke, I said I'd|like to go back in now.

This feels like a whale.

God, I'm cold,

let's get the hell in.

It's comin' loose.

Hey you're breakin' my pole.

I'm trying to|help you, that's all.

Well don't help.

It's comin' now.

It's comin'.

Goddamn log.

Any of that scotch left?

Thought you|didn't like booze?

I'm freezing my|nuts off, that's all.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I wonder who he is.

See what his wallet says.

Jesus Christ,

I was thinking' he might|be your Rolls Royce guy.

Gangrene?

You must be kidding' me.

He's about 6'3".

Nothin'.

He's stripped clean.

It doesn't make sense.

Must be some identification.

Jesus Christ,|he might still be alive.

Fantastic.

I'll do the kiss of life.

You run up to the house,|call Normandy Hospital.

Tell 'em to get over.

Right.

And stay at the house|'til they get there

so you can direct|'em straight here.

Gotcha.

Ben Greene.

Gangrene.

Son of a b*tch.

He is the Rolls guy.

Oh.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Don't panic.

My God, what have you done!

I said don't panic.

My God, what am I going to do?

Well pick me up|dumb dumb and I'll tell ya.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Well sit down then dummy.

Alright.

You're gonna|zoom to my suitcase

and whip out one of those

nice long pieces of canvas.

Well clean my face|and you won't throw up.

Okay.

You're gonna take the canvas

and you're gonna wrap|part around Duke here,

and part of it|around Gangrene.

Then you're gonna|get a nice big rock

and wrap the rest around it.

Take that out a my mouth.

Then you're gonna row out

and dump the|bundle over the side.

And if you do it right,

I'll be able to say|atta boy schmucko.

Two birds with one stone.

Hi.

Hi.

You've had|quite a day I guess.

Whatever.

Where's Duke.

We had a blow out.

He tried to get me to admit|we'd gone to bed together.

But uh...

when he couldn't he told|me he was going to go hunting

and I should get the hell out

by the time he got back.

Are you coming with me?

Are you coming with me?

I gotta know.

Who wins,

me or Duke?

If I'm a prize,

then you're the winner.

And as soon as Duke gets back

and I can tell him in|person that I'm leaving,

we can take off.

Gee you know I, I...

I don't think you|should put yourself

through a big emotional|scene like that, do you?

Well, I gotta leave|Duke with his pride.

We spent a lotta|years together and uh...

he's gotta understand|that he didn't fail.

We failed together.

So let's the both|of us pack okay.

Don't try arguing|me out of this.

He's got to be home soon.

He can't hunt|at night time right?

Okay.

Oh, my God.

She's leaving Duke for you.

Fan-f***ing-gradly,|fan-f***ing-tastic.

Thank you sports fans.

Well where are we off to?

Now don't get|emotional about this.

About what, about what?

I think maybe there's|just going to be

two of us on the honeymoon.

What's the punch line?

You're gonna leave me behind?

Come on buddy,|quit the kiddin'.

My head's on straight on now.

I want to get to|know her, that's all.

Take her places.

Show her things.

Paris, maybe, like that.

The Eiffel Tower.

The Louvre.

You know?

Schmucko, you've|never been to Paris.

What's this show her routine?

I'll be good.

You'll see.

I wanna see Paris too.

You want me to come crawling?

You want me to beg?

Okay, this is me, Fats,

and I'm beggin'.

It's not easy for me either.

It is.

It is easy.

You wont be alone.

I'll tell.

What will you tell?

Everything.

I will.

I swear.

In the middle of the act,

one night, when|you don't expect it.

I'll scream, there's|bodies in Lake Melody.

I don't see that happening.

I'm doing a single now.

Duke?

Duke?

How'd it go?

Duke understand.

We haven't talked yet.

You mean he isn't back yet.

Christ Peg.

Got kinda scary up there.

And I wanted a drink,

but I didn't much|wanna drink alone.

Well let's just go.

Let's get the hell out.

Send him a telegram.

I'm sorry, my mind's made up.

Besides, he can't|be much longer.

You don't know that.

He was drinking heavy|when he left here.

Did he take|a flashlight with him?

Did you notice?

All I noticed

was that big Goddamn|elephant gun he was carrying

when he hinted|I vacate the premises.

Come on,

it's stupid waiting around.

Then I'm stupid.

I didn't say you were stupid.

I said waiting was.

I'm aware of your|opinion on the subject.

Well try agreeing|with me for once.

Instead of being stubborn.

Give it a rest Cork.

Aaah...

Sweet mystery of life

at last I've found you.

Fasten your|seatbelts everybody.

It's going to|be a bumpy night.

I'm here to save|you two from yourselves.
