Mini's First Time Page #7

running for at least two hours

by the time you found her,

and an unconscious person

can't turn on a car, right?

Detective, with all due

respect, could you get to the point?

That's the part where l get kind

of confused, you see.

ln that model Jaguar, if you were

to leave it idling for two hours,

it would burn at least

four gallons of fuel.

You see?

So, it doesn't-- it doesn't really seem

like there's any way

that the gas tank

could be full

if it had been running

for two hours.

Right?

So l guess, you know,

what l'm asking is,

you know,

whose idea was

to put her in the car?

Martin, Martin.

Don't-- don't say anything.

Look, Mr. Tannen.

l know that you're the person that has

the most to gain from your wife's death.

But l've also learned

from talking to her friends

that she and Mini had a pretty

strained relationship.

Uh, excuse me,

what's your first name again?

- lt's Dwight.

- Listen, Dwight.

Do l look like the kind of guy who's

going to allow my client

to sit here and listen to these

questions in these circumstances?

Don't insult

my intelligence, Dwight.

- Just cut to the chase.

- Okay, l'd just like for Mr. Tannen

to know that if he's trying

to be a protective father

by covering up something

Mini might have done,

l'd really think twice about it.

l really would.

'Cause the D.A. in this case,

he's viewing it, you know,

as kind of an opportunity

to show the public

that the rich can't get away

with murder in this town.

Does this mean that he's

offering Mr. Tannen immunity

if he says he was

protecting his daughter?

Yeah, that's

a strong possibility.

but he also wants Mr. Tannen to know

that if he doesn't do it,

he's going to go

for the maximum sentence.

No manslaughter,

no plea bargain.

Nothing.

lt was Colonel Mustard

in the library with the candlestick.

Ms. Drogues,

as your lawyer, l think--

Don't wet your pants.

l know when to shut up.

And swallow.

Look. The fact that

the marriage was unhappy

and that there

was no prenup,

that gives all of the motive

to Martin, okay?

- So you want me to say it was his idea?

- Well, if it was his idea,

can you give me one good reason

why you should take the fall?

So you're saying if l tell

the jury it was his idea,

and l was scared for my life

because he said he'd kill me

if l ever told anyone,

that l walk?

Sst!

Sorry, sport,

but l'll take my chances.

l never doubted for a moment

you were gonna hold firm,

not for a second.

l hope you know that.

- You know that?

- Yeah.

Good.

You realize we're going to have to learn

to rely on each other?

l have only

one concern now.

What?

Rudell.

lf a jury finds out we're a couple,

then we both have a motive.

And that

changes everything.

Don't worry about him, baby.

He's just jealous.

Even if he did send

that picture,

what does it prove?

Nothing.

Oh hey, come and watch.

Come on, you're missing-- l'm on TV.

What? Why?

Hurry up, the commercial's

almost over.

Welcome back to ''Absolutely Positive.''

Now it's time to hear how the date

between Jason and Mini ended.

- Jason, you said...

- You went on this--

Shh! Yeah, l thought

it'd be a gas.

...to test your ability

to resist temptation?

Um, well, since Becky and l

have dated since high school,

and we decided to remain

virgins until marriage,

l wanted to go

on another date

with another girl just to--

to see how l would react,

you know, to see

if there were any doubts

- about my decision.

- Hmm.

So after dinner,

what happened?

Um, well, she suggested

this dance club that she knew.

l'm not really a good dancer,

but l said yes.

- We never go dancing.

- Mini, Jason a good dancer?

Well, he's a

damn quick learner.

Not just at dancing.

Oh, you mean there was some other

teacher-student stuff going on?

No, not really.

What about when we

went back to your place?

- You what?

- That's-- that's not true.

- Why are you doing this?

- Why are you being so shy?

- Jason?

- We turned on some music,

- we started kissing.

- Shut up!

But, JJ, you said

it was special.

You-- you slept with her?!

- No. No!

- To say the least.

- You slept with him?

- God, Martin, it was a one-time thing.

Put it this way:
You're in for a wild

ride from this bronco.

He was a virgin,

how could l say no?

lt won't happen again, okay?

l promise. He was just a goof.

Yeah, JJ, tell us more!

Rudell.

He let you go on there?

Yeah, l thought

it'd be fun.

l mean, l wasn't really

supposed to, you know,

go all the way

with him, but...

l can't believe you.

That couple, you've ruined

their relationship.

The show is called

''Absolutely Positive'' for a reason.

Clearly the only thing

Jason was positive about

was, uh-- yeah.

You really are a sick

little twist, you know that?

Well, what does

that make you?

l need some air.

By the way, some intern

from your office

stopped by earlier today

with something.

lt's on the bar.

What is it?

l think it's time l had a little chat

with our neighbor.

No, this is exactly

what he wants.

What if he's working

with Garson?

Then he can't blackmail me.

l want you to wait here.

- l'll be right back in a minute.

- Let me go with you.

- l said wait here.

- Let me just talk to him, okay?

- He promised me he wouldn't hurt us.

- Oh, he did?

- When?

- A few days ago.

- You saw him?

- Yeah,

l went to try to find out what he knew.

l spent the afternoon with him.

You spent the afternoon

with him?

l was doing it for us.

l figured he wouldn't

turn us in if--

lf you what?!

lf l made him think l was interested.

- Please tell me that you didn't.

- No.

No.

l just made him think that l would,

so that he wouldn't turn us in.

Thank you.

l appreciate

your restraint.

You ungrateful

son of a b*tch.

l'd think you'd be a little more

appreciative. l was doing it for us.

For us? And who were

you doing it for

when you were doing it

with the kid on that show?!

Who was that

selfless act for?!

Oh, like you're such

a martyr for being faithful.

lt shows amazing restraint to limit

yourself to just one stepdaughter.

Don't lecture me

about infidelity.

Your mother was cheating

on me within six months

of the ''l do's.''

- lf you'll excuse me--

- Okay, look. l'm sorry.

- Let go of me.

- You're making a mistake,

- trust me.

- l said let go of me.

You're hurting me.

Now you wait here until l get back.

Do you understand?

Say ''Yes, Martin.''

Yes, Martin.

Martin.

What a surprise.

- How are you?

- l just saw Mini on your show.

Oh, was--

was tonight the night?

You know, l auditioned

lots of girls,

and she was, uh,

f***ing incredible.

Uh-huh.

A real natural, huh?

Yeah, like a duck

takes to water.

Totally...

willing to take

direction.

l wish all the girls

l worked with had her, uh--

how can l put this?

- --need to please.

- Oh.

Hi, l need the police

sent right away

to 25051 Mira Loma Lane.

No!

You motherf***er!

Ow ow ow ow!

Where are they, huh?
