Q Page #6

into anything like that are you?

Well, a few cops may die.

I've seen this b*tch in action.

She can move anywhere

she pleases, in or out.

- In and out of what?

- The roof.

There's a hole in the roof,

and she goes into the roof.

- Did you actually see this thing?

- Hey, what is this?

Hey, Mousekewitz, get these guys

out of here. Get them out of here.

Take another photo.

No, Shepard, get them back here.

I want my photo op here.

Come on!

This city needs me now!

And get the owner

of that newspaper.

What's his name?

Murdoch!

Get Rupert Murdoch down here

with his arm around me.

Come on, sit down.

I'll be on television.

I'm going to be

on all the shows.

Yeah. You're just jealous,

Shepard.

Jealous, what can I say?

You know, the only way you guys

get your picture in the papers

is when you get shot.

Look, you're Eisenhower, right?

This is d-day.

We're your soldiers.

Tell us what to do.

What I do is I get

a whole fleet of helicopters.

No, I'm with you.

Fleet of helicopters.

- Yeah, and they come--

- okay.

They come up

and they fly around.

And between them is this canvas thing that

they take it over the top of the building.

Drop right down like--

canvassing, yeah.

Like a tent.

Like a circus tent.

Circus tent? Is that going

to be strong enough?

Well, it'll be strong enough

to keep the mother in there,

you know, while they're

pumping shots into it.

You know, slow it down.

What?

It is a mother, you know?

I'd seen an egg there.

Boy, is it a mother!

- Egg?

- Yeah.

- There's an egg?

- Yeah.

Okay. All right,

let me get this straight.

We call up Ringling brothers,

and we say,

"lend us a circus tent."

Of course, it's not going to be in

very good shape when we send it back.

Yeah, well,

they can sue the city.

Yeah, why not?

Everybody else is doing it.

Like what is the building look--

it's top of it?

You want to know

the shape of it?

Yeah.

It's a cone.

Like a cone.

- Well, you know the building.

- Yeah?

It's--

great timing.

You know, pal,

if you hadn't

walked in that door,

I would've spilled my guts

all over the table.

Shepard, give me 15 minutes

alone with her

and I'll get

any answer you want.

That's fine.

Documents are in order.

Have my client brought back up.

So I guess we got to find

somebody to tell

what's his name

that he's a rich man.

Oh, I want do that myself.

I want to talk to that bastard.

- Now, captain.

- Hmm?

Be polite.

That's the only way.

Uh, Shep.

Yes, sir.

I like you most of the time.

And that's why I'm giving you

back this report unread.

I never saw.

Never heard of Quetzal.

- Quetzalcoatl.

- Quite so.

Unless you're looking for

a sanity hearing, my dear boy.

Yes, sir.

Sir, two days ago,

you didn't even believe

this creature existed.

Now, wouldn't it be possible for

you to suspend your disbelief

just for one

little degree further.

You are talking about the incarnation

of some ancient Aztec God.

And it's my duty to kill it.

Now, it's much easier for me to

think of killing a bird than a God.

So do away with that report.

A connection. A connection

between the ritual killings--

there is no connection.

- The appearance of--

- two separate cases.

Keep them that way.

A mere coincidence.

I don't suppose you have

any objection if we continue

to pursue this murder

vigorously.

Not at all.

Get him without no connections,

no linkages, understand?

Get me that bird!

All right, come on, let's go!

Looking good!

That's it, move in.

That's it, go, go.

All right, here we go.

We're going, all set.

Move those doors.

Okay, guys,

she's right up there.

Go on up the stairs

and keep going.

And when you hit the ladder,

keep going up the ladder,

you'll run right into it.

All right, come on.

Let's go.

Come on, easy.

Don't push me.

It's in the nest. Where the hell is

the canvas to cover up the roof?

Oh, we didn't have

time for that.

That was a good idea though.

We got our own way

of covering the hole.

- Quinn, lead the way.

- What are you talking about?

Well, you got your million dollars,

now you're going to earn it.

Oh, come on,

I want nothing to do with it.

Come on, go.

Come on, go.

Go, move it.

Move on up there.

Come on, let's get going.

Jesus, it's another one.

Thing brings them up here

and stashes the leftovers.

It so stinks.

I don't know why it didn't

come down after me both times.

Maybe it's using you. Maybe it

wanted you to bring us back here.

Here.

We don't want you

to go on up there unarmed.

What are you talking about? Why

is everybody giving me revolvers?

I mean, I don't want a gun.

I point, you go.

It's up there, go.

Okay, Quinn, I'm first,

you're second.

What do you mean?

Why do I have to go up there?

Jesus.

Jesus, look at that

f***ing omelet.

SWAT team moving into position

below second level tower.

All other units stand fast.

Shepard only makes

with the jokes

when he's scared of something.

Everybody just stay

where you are, okay?

Just hold back down there.

Fry up about

500 pounds of bacon.

We're gonna have us

some breakfast.

Get the hell up here, come on.

Now, leave it. The scientist

will want to look at it.

They didn't even get the bird.

They got the egg.

If they had done

what I told them to,

put the canvas over the top.

Hey, Quinn, come on up here.

Jesus.

I'm coming as a witness.

This trip's worth

a million bucks to me.

Hey, that's it.

That's my baby.

Hey, Shepard,

one million dollar egg.

It's just a reflex action.

That's it!

I'll meet you downstairs.

I can't believe you guys,

you know?

I told you how to do it. You put

the canvas right over the top

and what do you do?

Well, I guess you blew

the big bucks.

What are you talking about?

Well, the money was for the

mama bird, not the baby bird

oh, come on, man.

I told you everything I knew.

That was the deal.

You f***ed up.

You let the thing get away.

I let him get away.

I told you how to do it.

Put the canvas over the top

and the thing wouldn't get away.

Yeah, you screwed yourself. City

is gonna demand a full refund,

the unused portion of the funds.

Horse sh*t!

I got that in black and white.

Now, just so it's not

a complete lose.

That's for the coffee

you bought me.

Oh, come on, man. You can't

feed me an act like that.

I had that signed.

Police commissioner signed that.

And I'll have my lawyer

sue your ass.

Okay, you do that!

You do that.

I don't know if we're gonna honor that

amenity part of the agreement either.

It's in black and white.

You can't touch that.

And I'll have you dropped.

If you'd done what I told you,

you'd had that bird.

And here, take this

and stick it--

stick it up your--

up your brain.

Your small little brain.

Oh, yeah?

See you later Charlie Christian.

I'm staked out in front

of the museum.

The suspect just entered

with what it looked like

a medical bag.

Yeah, but there was

another guy with him.

Like a prearranged
