has been incredible for me.

You know, l--

l don't know.

l feel like our relationship went

to the next phase or something...

and kind of crystallized

into this new thing...

and l'm hoping

that the feeling's mutual.

Well, yeah,

of course it's mutual.

Good. Because, Veronica...

there comes a time

in every relationship...

where things

get more serious.

- Yeah?

- The last week l have

rehearsed this so many times.

l have been sittin' and tryin'

to figure out the best way to do this.

And l said, ""This--

This is the perfect setting.""

You got the perfect dress

and the perfect face and--

l think l should

just show you.

Oh, no, no. Listen, we haven't

even spoken about this, Scottie.

This is gonna be really embarrassing.

Come on, please, can we--

Huh?

- Tahiti?

- Tahiti, yes.

- Vacation?

- Yes, a vacation to Tahiti.

You and l. Two trips.

Round-trip tickets to Tahiti, yes?

- Yeah, that l'll do.

- What do you mean, ""that""?

-What did you think l was gonna ask you?

-Well, come on.

- The way you were talking it was like--

- Oh, wait, wait. Ho-ho-ho-ho--

Let's go to Tahiti first.

Make it a little road test, huh?

- So, are we gonna go to Tahiti?

Did you say yes?

- That is a yes.

We're going to--

We're going to Tahiti.

- Stop it.

- We're go-- Hey, l don't--

They not gonna be there.

They ain't gonna never see us

no more. Let's toast it.

To Tahiti.

To being ""nekked"" in Tahiti.

- Come on, say it. Nekked in Tahiti.

- Naked in Tahiti.

- Not ""naked in Tahiti.""

- That's how l say it.

- Nekked.

- Nekked.

There you go.

Say, ""nekked in Tahiti.""

Hold it.

Let me picture you nekked.

Oh, look at the sun

bouncin' off your ass.

l'm just playin'.

lf it's not here by 5:00,

it's not my problem.

Oh, don't talk to me

about Mitch.

l'm runnin' this shift,

not Mitch.

- l don't care.

- Got another load.

Uh, rack 'em.

Yeah, well you got the memo

from, uh, from City Hall too, right?

l've got 'em right here.

No, they went down at 9:30 to San Bruno.

Yeah, they've got the old forms. The new

forms have the wrong date or something.

Ninety-one or ninety-two.

l don't know.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, don't give me

any grief about it.

No, Frank told me.

Look, l-l can't spend

any more time on this, okay?

That's it. All done.

Yeah. Well, no. Well, you can

tell that to Mitch too.

Okay? Don't call me

on this any more.

Yeah, well, don't give me

any grief about it.

Hey, don't you guys

keep notes down there?

How come in those foreign movies

a young girl always falls

in love with a old fat guy?

Well, l guess women in Europe

find older men sexy.

Cool. Sh*t.

When l get old and fat...

l'm definitely movin'

to Europe.

- That guy was 60 years old.

- Sh*t. l forgot to feed Troy.

l bet he's just starving.

Troy, where are you, baby?

l'm sorry.

Troy?

Troy, where are you hiding?

Troy?

My eyes are still hurtin'

from readin' that movie.

Troy? l've got

food for you.

Troy?

Where are you?

Scott, have you seen--

Hey, baby, there you are! Yes!

Hey, have you been eating my face

soap again? You have, haven't you?

- Scott, what is it?

- korda escaped.

- korda's escaped?

- This morning.

You don't think

he'd try and--

Well, l'm-- l'm just a little

on edge. l need to relax.

l'm sure he's gonna try to get

out of town, and we're leaving

tomorrow anyway, you know?

l'm sorry about that.

l just overreacted, okay? Okay?

Why don't we feed the dog before

we have Cujo on our hands, huh?

You packed everything? You're

sure you didn't forget your

bowling ball or your, you know.

l sent that ahead,

you wise guy.

You're bringing a lot of clothes

to a place where you're not supposed

to wear a lot of clothes.

Hey, honey, don't you think it would be

better if you stayed in the house until

we're ready to get out of here?

- No, l'm gonna stay here

and help you guys.

- No, l'm not playin'.

- l think you should go

in the house, you know?

- Hold up a second.

We are going to Tahiti. We're

gonna have a great time, and you

are gonna forget everything.

Everything.

So just calm down.

l'm calm. Don't l look--

Look at me.

There, see? l just think it'd be better

if you went in the house, all right?

- l'll get my cameras

and l'll be straight back.

- Well, take your time then, all right?

- Man!

- You've gotta relax.

- Hey, l'm-- l'm relaxed.

- Gotta calm down.

Man, l don't want-- l don't want

nothin' else to go wrong.

He's gonna kill her

no matter what.

- lf l take him those jewels,

he's gonna kill me and her.

- So what do you want to do?

Scott, we go back a long ways,

but you can't expect me to do this.

Frank, this guy's a psychopath

and he has Ronnie.

- lt's the only way

l'm gonna get close to him.

- Then go to the lieutenant

or the DA with it.

For Christ's sakes, this is my f***ing

job you're asking me to lay on the line.

They're not gonna approve it,

and you know that.

lf l get the department involved

This guy's a f***in' maniac.

He killed Sam, and he'd kill her. l got

one shot at this guy, Frank, alone.

Man, what if it was Mary? You

know you'd do the same thing.

You'd break every f***in'

rule in the book. Wouldn't you?

l just hope to God l never

have to make that decision.

This conversation never happened.

l never saw you today.

Now l gotta go take a leak.

This place is

an abandoned shipyard.

He's gonna be able to get a good

vantage point from anywhere.

Now, take the jacket off

and put it on the hood.

Good. Let's have
