Miami Blues Page #2

Yes, sir.

You know, like, | well, Cuban, also.

And I think that's sort | of like Spanish...Cuban...

but it's | a little different.

This ice cream dressing | is sour as sh*t.

It's yogurt dressing, | not ice cream.

Where you been?

Oh, that's OK.

I never had | yogurt dressing...

up in Okeechobee.

Where is that?

That's where I'm from.

You heard | of Lake Okeechobee.

I'm from California.

I don't know sh*t | about Florida.

You ever heard | of Lake Tahoe?

Lake Tahoe?

How is it?

Lousy.

Who is he?

We're engaged.

Hey, separate checks.

My treat.

Good luck.

Hey, Susie...

we're not gonna be | calling it a night, are we?

I got a homework paper.

I gotta write a haiku | for English class.

I tell you what.

I'm real good | at making up things...

you know, poems. | I could come over.

I could help you | write your, uh...

Haiku?

Definitely.

Let's get out of here.

Thank you. I'm sorry. | I liked the food.

Bye.

So you think this | unidentified assailant...

who broke, uh...

Ravindra's finger | did it on purpose?

Sorry, uh...Ramba.

That's all right. Heh.

That was a short engagement.

Hey, you know, | you still haven't told me...

what it is you do.

Oh, I got investments.

I take people's money | and put it to work.

You got any?

I got a $10,000 CD...

and I take | the interest from that...

and I put it | into a N.O.W. account.

Jesus Christ.

That's the biggest | frigging racket going.

I want you | to march straight down...

to the bank first thing | in the morning...

and cash in both | of those things.

I can't let my fiancee | get ripped-off...

when I can | double your money.

-Double? | -Yeah.

How 'bout that poem | we were gonna write?

We make love a lot.

We make love right now.

No. It's seven | in the second line.

Seven in the second line?

Splashes around | in his pond...

Could you | close the door, please?

Thinking he's...

alone.

Breaking, entering...

the dark | and Ionely place...places.

Finding a...big gun.

Smelling like a rose.

Any luck?

I wrote 2. Heh.

Maybe I'll get extra credit.

Hey, where did you | get these?

Dumb question.

-Are you a nosy rosy? | -Mm-mmm.

What the hell | was that, man?

The doorbell.

Talk about dumb questions.

Susan Waggoner?

Can I come in?

I bet you're | Herman Gotlieb.

How much?

Sergeant Hoke Moseley.

Homicide.

Herman Gotlieb.

I'd like to ask you | a few questions. Routine.

Boy, you got | a grip there, Herman.

Been working out?

Can I get you | a cold one there, Sarge?

Well, why not?

Two Polars, honey.

You down at the airport | today, Herman?

Yeah, I was.

Somebody broke | the finger off

a Hare Krishna...

and the son | of a b*tch died.

No sh*t?

No sh*t.

I didn't do it.

Oh, no, no, no.

We're just looking | for someone...

who might have seen | anything.

I'm curious, uh...

you own | a suede sport coat?

Yeah, I do.

OK. You're probably | the one.

Did you get on | the courtesy van...

to the Grand Prix Hotel?

Hey, f*** | this nonsense, man.

You're misunderstanding | this, Herman.

Who got killed?

You know, if I had | something better to do...

like sit at home | with a beautiful girl...

I wouldn't even be | bothering you, but, uh...

you were mentioned | as a possible witness.

See anything?

We got this | forensic dentist.

And l, uh, I talked him | into pulling my teeth...

and fixing me | some new chompers.

Well, it took two months | of his spare time.

And I got so used to | drinking without 'em...

I just pull 'em out.

Bother you?

Junior...

you want me to fix | those pork chops now?

Hell, I'll put 'em | back in for pork chops.

Pork chops comin' up.

Herman...

your fiancee...

is the best cook | in South Florida.

More taters?

Junior?

So, Herman, where | did you do your time?

Time?

What do you mean?

Well, the way you're | guarding that food.

You know...

like another con could | take it away from you.

Well, I was raised | in foster homes, you know?

I didn't get no dessert | till I was in eighth grade.

Damn.

I got a daughter | in the eighth grade.

Half my paycheck goes | to her orthodontist.

She's got your teeth, man.

Yeah. The joint's | about the only place...

you got time to work out | to get a grip like that.

I was an aerobics | instructor.

Shoots the sh*t | out of that theory.

Any more Polars?

Oh...

Junior got | the last one.

I could run out | and get some.

Beer's gone, I'm gone.

You're kidding.

But, you know, | I gotta get...

that pork chop | recipe first.

No. Are you serious?

It's so easy, what I did.

You are definitely | not gonna have...

to write this down.

All it is is pork chops | in a frying pan.

And just cook 'em | in their own fat...

with a lot of salt.

Oh, well, | they sure were good...

but you know | what I really like...

is native Florida cooking.

Now, did you ever have | chestnut batter...

on your pork chops?

Boy, I never did.

You got a recipe | for that somewhere?

Uh, yeah, I do, | as a matter of fact.

I'll give it to you. | Just a minute here.

Oh, I appreciate that.

Great dinner.

Get you something | to go, Sarge?

Just you.

Kidding, Herman.

Listen, if you | think of anything...

just, uh, give me a call.

That's my home phone.

Look, it's a hotel...

and the old guy | at the desk is deaf...

so, uh, just let it ring | till he sees the lights.

Oh, and, uh, | when we round up...

the usual airport | hoodlums...

maybe you could shoot by and | take a look at a line-up.

Take you five minutes.

Oh, yeah.

You mind standing | in the line-up, too?

We're a little short | of bodies. Heh heh.

You ever stood | in a line-up before, Herman?

Never been caught, Sarge.

Ah, you ain't got | one beer rat-holed...

I can take with me | for the road, do you?

You got it all, man. | Dog biscuits, too.

Oh...see you.

Night, Susie.

Years ago, I started | preaching catch-and-release.

Back then, a lot of things | seemed to indicate...

that our bass resource in | many areas of the country...

was rapidly diminishing.

Today, there is | no doubt about it...

and I'm very concerned about | what the future holds...

for this great sport.

In simple terms...

we don't have the vast | water we once had...

and there are | several reasons for it...

pollution, | illegal netting...

the pressure of removing | too many adult bass...

from their environment.

You know, they're kind of | like money in the bank.

I got news for you.

I'm not coming back. | I'm married.

I am so married.

I gotta go. Bye.

You like ham and eggs?

Drop it.

It smells good.

Who was that, anyway?

Pablo.

The cops rousted him.

I guess they're giving him | a hard time because of you.

We got to go for | a little ride, honey.

What?

What about breakfast?

It was gonna be a surprise.

I was gonna bring it | in to you on a tray.

And then l...

Make it to go.

Not too tired | for some fun?

Call it a night, sister.

Aye, aye, sir.

I got something that | I gotta tell you.

I used to be in prison.

What did you do | to get there?
