Where do you think he went?

I didn't ask and he didn't say.

Glenda, can we please get

some clean glasses?

They're starting to drink

out of their hands.

I understood that.

I'm gonna look for the dog.

Polonius!

Here, boy! Come on.

Good evening, Mrs. Parks.

Are we making too much noise?

No, Mr. Parks just wanted us

to keep an eye on things.

Oh! Did you happen to see

a little brown dog?

I thought I heard something in the garage.

We can take a look.

Oh, it's okay,

it's probably him.

That's where I keep

the dog biscuits.

I'll send you out

a couple of sandwiches.

Oh, thank you, ma'am.

Polonius.

Come on, baby.

Where are you?

Are you in here? Come on

- Shh.

Don't move, don't say a word,

don't scream,

don't breathe, don't bite.

You're biting,

I told you not to bite.

- It's me, Nick.

- Yes.

Glenda, I'm in big trouble.

I need your help.

If you promise to help me,

just nod your head twice.

If it's a no, shake your head

from side to side.

I'll understand

I guess it's no.

Are you crazy?

I couldn't breathe.

Do you know what it's like to get

punched on an empty stomach?

You could've gone

right for my back.

Why'd you come here,

of all places?

Because I knew you were the one person

in the world who could help me.

I can't help you.

Maybe it was somebody else

I was thinking of.

What's wrong with your leg?

Was pushed out of a car

doing 65,

rolled down a hill doing 85.

If I can just

stay in here tonight

No, you can't stay

in here tonight.

Well, you've done

everything humanly possible.

I've got 60 guests in the house.

Most of them looking for you.

Can I at least have

some food, Glenda?

I've had nothing to eat but old candy bars.

I'm beginning to break out.

- Look.

- All right, hide in the car.

I'll try and bring some food

out to you.

Nothing sweet.

I've had enough sweets.

You sure have

lousy timing, Nick.

And you sure have

a hell of a face, Glen.

It's nice to see you again.

You're in terrible trouble,

Nick, try and behave like it.

You know, your eyes lit up the minute

you saw me again. I like that.

That battery's been dead

for a long time.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Do you speak Spanish?

No, but it's okay.

- Excuse me. Chester.

- Mmm.

- Mmm-mmm.

- Mmm-mmm.

- Mmm-hmm.

You're not gonna serve that?

That's two

It's for me. I'm starved.

I was gonna take

that home tonight.

I'm gonna eat it outside.

There goes my beer, too.

I need to be alone

for five minutes.

Don't tell anybody where I am.

Okay.

Have you seen Mrs. Parks?

She's not outside eating

chicken, that's for sure.

Hey! Conchita! Come on,

you shouldn't be out here.

Si, senora.

Shouldn't even be

in the country.

Oh, Mrs. Parks, thank you.

- We appreciate it, ma'am.

We can't drink

for another hour yet,

but we'll just hold on to these.

- Okay. Enjoy yourselves.

- Thanks again.

Bye, boys.

Nick.

Nick.

Oh, my God!

What are you doing back there?

Nothing yet.

This is not gonna look good

on your record.

Come on, let's go.

Hurry up.

Get back to work. I'm not

paying you for kissing.

Nick?

What kind of parties

do you throw around here?

Easy, watch the license plate.

Do you know what your

guests were doing in there?

They're not guests,

they're my help.

Ah, they're having a better

time than your guests.

If you're low on oil,

that's because I drank it.

Okay, where's the food,

what you got?

I had chicken.

You had chicken?

You ate my chicken?

No, the police took it

away from me.

They took away your chicken?

You mean,

it was illegal chicken?

They're guarding the house.

Nick, there are a lot of

important people in there.

You can't stay here.

They're gonna find you

for sure. You gotta go.

How far do you think I'm gonna get

on Zagnuts and a quart of oil?

Boy! The one person in the world

I thought I could count on

Oh, don't say that.

You know how I pride myself

on being dependable.

I'm sorry.

All right, I'll be back later.

When?

I can't keep hopping out of the house

with fried chicken every three minutes,

they'll think it's

a takeout store.

When they're gone,

a couple of hours.

Glen, you know the last thing in the

world I want to do is hurt you.

If I'm putting you in any

jeopardy, I'll leave right now.

I'm okay. Fine.

The poor, soulful look on your

face doesn't work anymore, Nick.

Really?

I thought I did it right.

If you're really, really hungry,

there's a box of biscuits

in the corner.

What a lovely dress, Roberta.

Thank you, Glenda.

- Oh, terrific.

I've been looking for

What's that on your face?

What's what on my face?

You have a smudge.

Oh, that?

That's barbeque sauce.

Black barbeque sauce?

Yes, it's Mexican.

- Very hot. Don't eat it.

- I wasn't going to.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Good night. Good night.

Don't get a ticket, Judge.

Not your district now.

I'm exhausted.

I'm just gonna lie right down

here on the lawn and go to sleep.

Why don't you go to bed.

I'll clean up.

You'll clean up?

What have you got

all those criminals for?

I sent them home.

They really worked hard.

I saw Chester dancing. I did.

I swear to God

I saw him dancing.

I'm so tired.

Let's just get in to bed.

Tell me in the morning

if we made love.

I think we had a nice party.

Oh, yeah.

- I'll lock the back door.

- I locked it.

Where are you going?

Where am I going?

Um I can't sleep.

I'm just a bundle of nerves.

I've got to do something.

I think I'm gonna go

work in the garden.

At 2:
00 in the morning?

That's when rabbits

eat the corn.

This is the best time

to catch them.

- Oh!

My God! Are you crazy,

coming in the house?

Those were dog biscuits in the

garage, I started drooling.

I thought you couldn't walk.

An army of ants carried me in.

If I hadn't found this, I was

gonna eat one of the dogs.

- Look, Hamlet remembers you.

- Yeah, sure.

Asked him to drop me

a postcard but he's too busy.

Out of the way, boy, coming

through, I've got to sit.

We've got to get you

to a doctor.

Let me get Ira.

We'll talk it over, and we'll

figure out what to do together.

That's a great idea.

DA can be a big help

going through a roadblock.

This turns you off, don't watch.

I've got to tell Ira, Nick.

I haven't lied to him

since we've been married,

I'm not gonna start now.

Stop me if I start

eating my fingers.

- Sort of.

What do you mean, sort of?

I did, but I didn't enjoy it.

Look, I haven't got time

for explanations.

I need your help.

I need a place to stay.

I need some money,

need a new suit of clothes.

Something in a beige

would be very nice.

Listen to me.

You're going to call the

police and give yourself up.

I promise that Ira and I will do

everything we can to help you.

- Mmm-hmm.

- I'm gonna get him down here.

Glen! You try it, and I'll

use this on both of you.

Are you that desperate, Nick,

you'd kill me?

Well, I'd have to get

some bullets first,

but then

I can't promise anything.

- I'm getting Ira.

- Glenda, I'm innocent.
