Night Shift Page #6

No problem.

City Morgue.

Somebody died?

Who cares?

Why'd you lock the door?

It's okay.

Sirs?

At least Franklin

paid off for two years.

Until he got stupid.

You never even sent us a nickel.

Not one nickel.

- I don't know--

- I don't, I don't know.

If you were up-front,

we could've worked it out.

But now it's too late.

We're angry.

We're insulted.

Besides, wouldn't be right to let

you live after we killed Franklin.

He was our friend.

I'd like to be your friend.

Please, God!

Let me be your friend--

Come on, let's get out of here.

If we bust one bozo,

we got to bust the whole place.

I hate Narcotics.

I wish they'd put us back on Vice.

Could I have the check, please?

Pretty good beat, huh?

Peachy.

I noticed you guys were...

...unencumbered by

female companionship.

So how'd you like to get...

...encumbered?

Okay, boys. Here we are.

I wonder why that door's locked.

In the morgue?

I know what you're thinking.

Don't worry about it.

It won't bother you if you don't think

about all those dead people.

Let me get my phone book.

It's got all my numbers in it.

I wonder where that book is.

Maybe my partner has it.

Follow me.

You're about to become

one of the Great Lakes. Open up.

I said, open up!

Get ready to fill him up.

This is to make some holes

so the water comes out.

Again locked.

What's going on?

Excuse me.

Hold it! Police!

You guys are police?

How could they be cops?

I should have asked for an ID.

Son of a b*tch!

That's it!

Cool it! I quit!

You what?!

That's it, man!

Party's over, numb-nuts!

Man, you blew it!

Let me hit him one time!

It's all over, buddy.

Were you scared?

Were you?

Mostly dizzy.

I tell you, you were great!

Guys were shooting over you

and you just laid there.

You never complained once.

I admire that.

- I have a great respect--

- Take off the tape.

Look up here.

Turn sideways.

Other way.

Okay, leave!

Somebody have a comb,

so I can just get ready?

I wasn't ready for that.

Just turn sideways.

Leave.

Today!

You're good at this game.

Last one.

Best of three.

Even, shoot!

Great. Fair is fair.

We took a shot, right?

Can't hit a home run

unless you bat.

I wish I had a bat right now.

You had to bring the police?

That's gratitude.

If I didn't bring the police,

you'd be dead now.

So? I'd be better off.

I'd rather be dead.

You want to be dead?

Do you want to be dead?

You let me know

if you change your mind.

You'll be the first.

How you doing?

That's great.

You get me in jail here

with Peter Lorre's son.

"Oh, come on. We have to be pimps.

Let's be pimps."

We couldn't be doctors.

We were rolling there

for a while though.

Cash, clothes.

I'll tell you something.

You couldn't do

what we did in Russia.

You know? Seriously.

- Russian pimp--

- Would you do me a favor?

Just leave me alone.

There's room for one more.

I thought you were in Indiana.

My mom called.

And you flew all the way back here.

I thought for sure when you

found out what I was doing...

...you'd just hate me.

No, not you.

You came to be by my side.

You are one in a million.

Goodbye, Chuck.

Did you see that?

My fiance just spit on me.

And after you were deloused.

But she's right, you know.

I should be spit on.

He's got hair in his mouth.

What are you doing?

It looks bad in front

of the guys.

So what? What am I running for,

cell president?

They have that?

This is a nightmare.

You know what

the worst part about this is?

I'm guilty.

I am guilty.

You know what'll happen, don't you?

I'll lose my job.

My life is over.

Do you know...

...at this moment...

...I have sunk as low as I can go?

I was wrong.

Mimi, pay the cab driver, will you?

Move over!

With money!

No jail can hold us.

You got them out!

You bet your Puerto Rican ass I did!

Can't keep my men in there.

My life is over.

Stay with him.

Take him home.

Get him to the lawyer's on time.

Piece of cake!

We'll take you home,

we give you a nice bath.

Wait a minute.

I don't see Belinda here.

She don't want to come.

That's it!

Make him feel better.

You know what I mean.

Will this take long or what?

I have a tennis lesson

at one o'clock.

I already missed one

when we were in prison.

I see.

Can I get you anything?

All right.

- Lamb chops--

- I was thinking of something to drink.

Why don't we just get started?

Mr. Drollhauser...

...are we going to prison?

That's a good question.

I hardly think so.

You see boys,

this is an election year...

...and the party in power...

...let's just say...

...they find the whole

situation embarrassing.

Therefore, it would be in the

best interest of all concerned...

...if they just gave you boys

your jobs back...

...and forgot the whole thing.

I assume that's okay with you.

Mr. Drollhauser...

...that's the greatest thing

I ever heard!

Thank you very much.

That's fantastic!

Well, it's not okay with me!

We got them over the barrel.

As long as we do...

...I say get something out of it.

Can I talk to him alone please?

I have thought about this...

...for the entire time in jail.

And what I want is to go back...

...to my old life, the way it was

before this craziness.

I want...

...my old life back.

Please, Bill.

Please let me have my old life back.

If I did that, I'd never be able

to sleep with myself again.

We are holding the cards.

They're afraid of us.

You see the beauty here?

I say we go down there...

...and march into the mayor's office

and lay it on the line.

You want to?

It'll be fun.

It'll be great.

I'm wearing white!

Get away from the door!

Get away from the door!

You won't see the mayor!

You won't make any demands

or I'm going to kill you!

You'll play tennis...

...with God!

Are you going to change your mind?

Are you going to change your mind?

You got to keep that elbow stiff.

What's going on in there?

My God!

I could have you guys

executed for this!

Call maintenance!

Get them up here!

You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

- Are you okay, Mr. Chuckie?

- I'm calm.

I'm calm.

- I'm calm, I promise.

- Are you bleeding?

It's okay, girls.

You can let go.

Let me tell you something.

You listen to me, Mr. Idea Man.

I will go back to the morgue.

And I will put my life straight.

A life you ruined!

Everything that's bad

that happened to me, you did!

I don't want to see you anymore.

I don't want to hear from you anymore.

I don't even want to hear rumors

about you anymore.

Here's an idea:

Get a ticket on the first

space shuttle and get out of here.

Excuse me.

How are you?

What have you been doing?

You mean, since jail?

I'm back to work.

Yeah, me too.

I start a new job tonight.

Really, what are you doing?

It's the same thing I did before.

It's just in a different place.

Paradise Found, just off Sixth?

I've heard of it.

It's supposed to be real nice.

Look, I may not see you again.

I'm moving on Friday.

Condo.

Very good investment.

You don't want to be late
