teeny- weeny problems.

Big fat- ass problems.

I got what you need.

There's no itch that an...

HK- MP5 can't scratch.

Unless you want a...

Uzi

with a Wilson suppresser on it.

Very nice.

Very...

urban.

I'd go with the Heckler & Koch.

It's got a closed bolt,

as opposed to the Uzi.

It's got a faster cyclic rate,

better sights, rear aperture.

It's German,

as opposed to Israeli.

It's much more accurate than...

Look, Dan Rather.

You sure you not a cop?

I'm sure I'm not a cop.

I did a report last year

on street weapons.

If you don't shut up, the last

report you're gonna hear...

is this Uzi

going off in your ass.

I don't mean

to disrespect your sh*t...

but this is too heavy.

I need something lighter...

'cause we're gonna be doing

a lot of running.

See this here?

One or two of these.

This is all I need.

Couple of these, and I'm cool.

I'll pay you back.

I'm good for it.

What?

Call me if you get in trouble.

I'm gonna call you.

And thank you again.

I'm gonna get you

that money soon.

I just got

the Interpol report back...

on the John Doe they picked up

at the airport yesterday.

This is our guy.

Raymond Villard.

Last known residence: Belgium.

He's wanted for killing a cop

in Paris...

convicted of a jewelry heist

in London...

wanted for killing someone else

in Cologne.

It goes on and on.

I don't think so.

This guy could turn up laying

flat on his face in that bus.

Forensics ain't done

with the bodies yet.

I still think Hatchett's

our man.

Not according to this.

Got a nice videotape

of your suspect here.

It's from the security camera

in the deli.

We'll see.

And now a live report

from the scene.

A cold- blooded murder...

last night in a deli

here in downtown L.A.

Homicide detectives have

identified the two gunmen...

through the use

of a surveillance camera tape.

We're told they are

Franklin Maurice Hatchett...

and an unnamed reporter

from Channel 12 News.

Hatchett is already wanted...

in connection with the death of

14 inmates and 2 policemen...

during

a daring prison escape at...

I have this late word just in.

Police have released the name

of the second suspect...

and he is James Russell

of Channel 12 News.

We'll continue to update you

on this breaking story...

as developments warrant.

Now back to you in the studio.

The eensy- weensy spider...

walked up the waterspout.

Down came the rain...

And washed...

How you doing?

- Morning, folks.

- Have something to eat.

I gotta talk to Grace.

I'll take a little something.

I'm a little hungry.

I was wondering when you was

gonna ask me to sit down.

I think we're interrupting

a very tender breakfast here.

That's cool. Is it cool?

The kids say it's cool.

Go take care

of your business with Grace.

Talk to Grace

as long as you want.

I'm gonna come and get you

when I'm through.

I love it, man.

Nervous about the wedding.

Best friend in the world.

Did you tell Vic

I want him to call me?

He said

he was gonna call you soon.

He was happy

to hear from you, too.

Terrific. What do you want

for breakfast?

Whatever y'all got.

I can eat anything.

You want some bacon and eggs?

Wait a minute. You're Italian.

Make him a nice vilosh.

Put a nice gravy of ragu

and some sausages on the side.

Is that OKwith you?

OKwith me.

And give me

some Italian grits on the side.

- Thanks, Ma.

- That's your mama?

That's how the rich stay rich.

Keep it in the family.

So how's the mistress

of the house this morning?

I've never been

anybody's mistress.

He was my first, my last,

my everything.

Baby.

Excuse me.

You pissed her off.

She always like that?

But she's worth it.

What's going on? Oh, sh*t!

What's in the paper?

Nothing.

So what'd you get the newlyweds

for their wedding gift?

I'll show you.

You got it already?

Come on.

This is another house.

How rich are you?

Loan me a million dollars.

You gonna loan it to me?

I was just playing.

How many people sleep

in this bed?

Me and Connie. That's it.

This is incredible.

Let me spend the night.

Anytime. You ready?

I'm ready? Is this the gift?

This is it.

That's nice. That's tight.

That's nice, but...

What?

- What's the matter?

- Nothing. That's cool.

That's all right.

You hooking them up

on some Liberace- type sh*t.

What's wrong with it?

That's Bulgari.

Forget about it. It's cool.

They're not gonna like it?

You know something.

Did they say something to you?

Forget about it.

I can't be saying nothing.

I'm not in the family like that.

Be a friend. Tell me.

If I tell you this,

you can't them I told you.

Why would I do that?

I happen to know that

the newlyweds want a dope ride.

We don't do dope

in this family.

Not dope. A ride.

My chauffeur

will take them anywhere.

Not a ride. I mean a car.

Oh, a car.

I got a lot of cars.

Which one did they want?

They want the Bentley?

The Rolls?

Not any type of car.

They want a European type- X

racer car.

Where am I gonna get that

by tomorrow morning?

I think we can get one.

I know a place.

I'll take these back.

Why don't you let me keep them?

I'll give them back to you.

I'm just playing, unless

you're gonna let me keep it.

You brought a killer

into my parents' house!

Are you even listening to me?

Franklin may be

a lot of things...

but he is not a killer.

- Trust me on this one.

- I am trying.

We're supposed to be

in this together.

We are.

- What about tomorrow?

- I'll be here.

You are wanted for murder.

We can't get married

when you're wanted for murder.

You're right.

I'm telling you, we're gonna

have fun at the Auto Expo.

Oh, f*** me.
