which I...

I think I did.

I think we should go check

on your car, don't you?

I understand.

Could I make another phone call?

Sure. Go ahead.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Hey, look at Scamp.

Looks like he went

swimmin' in a mud puddle.

Oh, no, not again!

Oh, you little stinker.

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Just look at you,

you little monkey.

Where is it that you go?

Can we get in the car now?

Is anything wrong?

Well, they, uh... They just bailed Gregg out,

so I... I don't know.

Well, that's good,

isn't it?

No, something's funny.

Something's funny. I gotta get back.

Stay. Wait a minute.

I'll be right there.

I wonder why this Santini guy

would wanna bail him out.

I'm sure it's cool though.

He just recently got in

tight with these guys,

and they... They seemed pretty

impressed with him, you know?

What guys?

Not organized criminals?

Well, I guess they're pretty

well organized, all right.

Oh, Strip.

These honchos are

hard to impress, too.

I mean, it's probably easier gettin'

into your group than it is theirs.

Are you gonna be safe?

Are you worried?

Don't be.

'Cause, like,

me and Gregg, we...

We've been... We've been on our own since,

like, 14 years old, and...

You know, I figure

the worst is over.

I been meanin'

to ask you somethin'.

How is your husband?

The rain must fall

But we can change There's

the station up there.

Our understanding

You know, I always feel like I'm oversteppin'

my bounds with you or somethin'.

So take a moment

Okay, Miss Fabulous,

thank you.

Thanks for the car and for,

um, the Salade Nicoise.

Hope I'll see you again.

And don't worry, okay?

Here you are.

Thank you.

Hello.

Trish.

Hey, are you all right?

Uh, Naomi. Uh...

Yes, I'm just fine.

Look, can I call you back?

I'm right in the middle of feeding the dog.

No, my sweet.

This is urgent.

I was lunching at Scandia,

and guess who I saw?

Stacie!

So?

So, guess who she

was having lunch with?

Oh, Naomi. Stu.

So what?

Oh, Trisha, would I call you and

torture you with a thing like that?

No, she was lunching

with Dan Santini!

What is that

supposed to mean?

Well, it means...

Well, one thing, it means

she wasn't lunching with Stu.

And for another,

you know Dan's reputation,

and you know he's just broken up

with his mistress, you knew that!

No, I...

I didn't know that.

Well...

Of course you didn't.

You don't know anything that's

going on in this town, do you?

Where would you be

without me? Hey, Trish.

...since

atmospheric conditions...

I thought you'd be

glad to hear all this.

Why do you seem so cut off?

Naomi, let me

call you back. I'm really...

I'm busy right now and, uh...

I... I can't talk.

But I'm okay. I don't want

you to worry. I'm fine.

All right?

I'll call you later?

Bye.

Bye-bye.

Hey, Strip! I just heard

about Gregg. Man, I'm sorry.

Hey, Miss Mercedes!

How about havin'

some of this wine, huh?

You don't have to worry about a cork with

this wine, just your... Just your liver.

I found this dog out on the beach.

He was lookin' for a home.

Oh, what did I do

to upset you now?

I don't like your

coming here drunk.

Oh, just 'cause I'm drinkin',

that means I'm drunk, huh? Jesus.

You left your address book here.

I tried to call you.

I know. That's why

I'm here. Uh...

I was worried about where

it was and everythin'.

May I use your ocean to

sober me up?

I don't care

what you do.

Well, you should.

Just don't come here drunk anymore.

Let me have him.

Let me have him.

I mean it.

You really have some nerve.

I'll leave your

things right up here for you.

Good morning.

I brought your breakfast.

Are you the new butler?

Don't you

remember last night?

Well... Well,

what happened to Godfrey?

I'm Godfrey.

You look so different.

What happened to those nice whiskers?

Turn around.

Let me look at you.

Thank you.

Will there be anything else?

Yes,

sit down and talk to me.

I like to talk in the morning

when your head is clear.

Especially if you've been

somewhere the night before.

No, because if you're uncomfortable,

I get uncomfortable

and forget

what I have to say.

If you insist.

But it doesn't seem

very good form for a butler.

My book?

My address book?

I told you, I don't want you here when you're

drinking. My address book. You said...

I'm not drinking anymore.

I... I just wanted to...

I... I'm fine.

Can I have the...

The address book?

Okay, I have to get it.

You wait here, all right?

I'm... I'm sorry.

Strip?

What's wrong?

Come in. It's cold.

What's wrong?

They...

Gregg is dead.

They killed him.

Made it look like he OD'd.

Bailed him out and made

it look like he OD'd.

Oh, so...

I'm sorry.

Look at your hair. It's still wet.

Come on. Sit by the fire.

Sit down over here.

I'm sorry.

What a world, huh?

Yes, what a world. Come on.

Look, your shirt's all wet.

Come on, let's take it...

Here, let me have it.

Come on. This one too.

Here.

Give me your shoes.

You see... They say

he got nervous.

He was gonna spill what he

knew about the operation.

He wouldn't have done it though.

I know that.

Are you cold?

Are you hungry?

I'm gonna get you a robe.

Why don't you take off

those wet clothes?

Here. Put this on.

Take off those

wet trunks.

You know? I told him he was in

too tight with the high-ups,

but he wouldn't believe me.

He thought I was jealous.

Right?

Come on. Lie down.

Are you leaving me?

No. No, I'm just gonna

turn out the light.

Where are you?

I'm here. Okay.

Go to sleep, okay?

Go on. Go to sleep.

Don't leave me.

I won't.

Go to sleep.

Come on.

Please, don't leave me.

Please?

I won't.

Go to sleep.

I'll hold you.

My arm.

Hmm.

Mmm.

Hi. Who is that?

Hi. Scamp brought

him home.

And where did

you come from?

He must belong to someone.

Not necessarily.

What shall we call him?

I've been callin' him...

I've been tryin' out some names.

He likes "Corky."

Corky! See?

Oh, he does.

He likes it.

That's what we'll call him.

Corky. Okay.

Let me see his foot.

Do you think this

is too tight?

It'll be fine.

It'll loosen up.

Will he be all right, you think?

Mmm-hmm.

Will you be all right?

What would you like

for lunch?

Anything but

Salade Nicoise.

Bring him with us.

What are you doing?

Are you writing Gregg's family?

No.

I was... I was just...

I was gonna send this message

to whoever finds the bottle.

I do it all the time.

Do you think that's weird?

No.

What does it say?

No, I...

I can't tell you that.

You know, I'm probably known all over

the world and don't even know it.

Mmm.

I wanna talk some more

about you.

What do you wanna know?

Everything.

Like what?

Mmm.

Oh, like...

Well, who you are.

How you met Gregg.

Hitchhikin'.

You were both runaways?

I don't like that word,

"runaway."

Makes it sound like someone's chasin' you.

Nobody was chasin' me.

My folks, they could've found me,

if they cared.

I left plenty of clues.

I wasn't even runnin' that hard,
