Seems Like Old Times Page #5

---

It's all just a game

to you, isn't it?

I bet you banged up your leg on purpose,

just to make it more interesting.

You know, Glenda,

there was a time,

when you had a pretty

good sense of humor.

I remember.

It's the day I married you.

Uh-oh.

You haven't changed

in all these years, Nick.

Nothing ever fazes you. You're still a boy.

When will you ever grow up?

I am trying, Glenda. I grew a

mustache, but it fell off.

Ah. Why don't we

just forget about it.

Just lend me a cup and some pencils

and I'll make it on my own.

Watch out. They'll see you.

- Old instinct never dies.

Does it?

- Protect your loved ones.

- Right. Only Ira's the loved one.

And there must be a way to deal with this

without hurting him anymore than I have?

Oh, he'll be all right.

Listen, we used to go at it

pretty good ourselves.

Aside from a divorce,

didn't harm us much.

AURORA:
Mrs. Parks!

- Don't snap at me.

I'm sorry. I have a headache

through my entire body.

What is it?

Okay. Your office called.

Conchita and Rosita have been pushed

back in the court to 10:30 a.m.

because, at 9:
30 you got to be with the

boys, who took a swing at the policeman.

- The ones who busted up

the welfare office.

Robert and Thomas? When did they

take a swing at a policeman?

Last night, when they

caught them in the stolen car.

What stolen car?

- Mr. Parks' stolen car.

Yeah. He's inside now,

calling for the taxi.

I never heard language like

that from a police officer.

Oh, why did I wake up today?

Oh, all right. Just tell them that

Tell them I'll be right there.

Did you want me

to make you breakfast?

Who cares about breakfast

at a time like this?

- Eggs.

- Eggs.

- NICK:
Bacon, waffles, toast.

- Bacon, waffles, toast.

Coffee.

- Coffee. More eggs.

- More eggs.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Now, you see what you've done?

Who, me?

If I wasn't wasting my time

on you last night,

I could have kept my eyes

on those boys.

They're not criminals. They would

have brought the car back.

I'm sure they just went to pick

up their cousin at the hospital.

Well, I'm gonna be

running along.

I can see you have your hands full

with the rest of the underworld.

Nick

Nick, please give yourself up.

For your sake, for Ira's sake

and for mine, please.

You know, your picture's painted

on the wall of a Mexican prison.

I described your face to

an artist who was in my cell.

A lot of those guys wanted to rent it out

for the weekend, but I wouldn't let them.

AURORA:
Mrs. Parks!

This couldn't possibly

be good. Stay there.

- The doggies ran away again.

Naturally.

- Nothing, I'll get

six new ones, tonight.

Oh, no.

- I'm getting out.

Now

Ah. Who's gonna notice

a limping bank robber

with his picture

in the newspapers?

You can forget the breakfast.

Where are you gonna go?

No, don't tell me.

My only chance is to find those two

guys in Big Sur and bring them in.

I just want to say that

Um, last night

seemed like old times.

You know what I mean?

Bye.

Where's my horse? I'm

supposed to jump on a horse.

All right. Wait here. I'll get

you some money and the food.

And that's positively the last

thing I'm gonna do for you.

You understand?

Do you ever call my name out

when you're making love?

Bet Ira grinds his teeth

when you do.

Aurora, I need the house money.

Uh, I used it

to pay the foot doctor.

The house money?

I can't get to the house

with bad feet.

The breakfast is ready.

Wrap it up.

I'll take it with me.

Ira

- Not with the meter ticking.

Look, I'm sorry about your car.

Why don't you take mine.

Maybe we should get a third one.

Yours, mine and theirs.

Get out of there!

Glenda! Will you get the dogs?

Dogs Come on, please,

get out! Come on! Now!

Get out! Please! Get out of here!

Get out now! Come on!

Please, please! Come on!

Get out! That's it

Okay.

Okay, let's go.

Just keep saying to yourself, Aurora,

12 more years to retirement.

Oh, who's this? I don't

like the looks of that man.

Hey, what are you

doing there, man?

Ay, dios mio.

Mrs. Parks! Mrs. Parks!

I got a burglar!

Mrs. Parks!

I got him, clean as a whistle.

That man is dead for sure.

- The burglar over the garage.

- Oh, my God.

- I gave one yell and he went down those stairs

like a sack of beans.

I knew I'd catch a crook one

day, hanging around this family.

Where is he

He was laying right there,

dead as yesterday

I'll take care of this.

Nick

"There are some things a man

just has to do by himself.

"This is not one of them,

so I'm going for help."

Oh, Nick. You crazy idiot.

Oh, God, I gotta rest.

I can't keep this up.

Mrs. Parks!

- We gotta go, else we're

gonna be late for court.

No, we won't.

Did you get gas for the car?

You didn't say to

get gas for the car.

Well, we're gonna

have to stop for gas.

- Now we're gonna be late for court.

- That's what I said.

Mrs. Parks,

should I call the police?

I don't want no dead burglars

hanging around my house.

No, it wasn't a burglar.

It was the decorator

that I hired to redo

the spare room. And

Don't tell Mr. Parks.

It's a surprise.

He didn't look like

no decorator I ever seen.

GLENDA:
My briefcase!

Stop! Go back.

CHESTER:
Yes, ma'am.

When my brain's unscrambled,

I'm firing you.

Would you please go get my case?

It's upstairs on my bed.

Flash Gordon will return.

Oh, God, what next?

NICK:
Don't ask me.

I believe, this is your day

for the carpool.

Don't do this to me, Nick. You

promised me you were leaving.

That was before

I dislocated my shoulder.

I had to open the car door

with my teeth.

Well, I'm going to

the courthouse.

I don't know where

you're planning on going.

I told you, Big Sur.

And I just give you

my car to escape with?

No, I steal it. Park it outside the

courthouse and leave the keys.

We've already had a car stolen today.

We're over our quota.

- Oh, what am I gonna tell Chester?

- He'll never know I'm here.

- You forgot your breakfast but Chester's on the job.

- I'm not hungry anymore.

Oh, thank you.

GLENDA:
Watch the bumps. CHESTER: Oh.

We not even gonna touch asphalt.

If I wanted an airplane,

I'd buy one. Slow down.

Yes, ma'am. Are you gonna

eat your breakfast?

- No.

- Thank you, ma'am.

Oh! Keep your eyes

on the road. I'll get it.

Here.

Oh, I guess Aurora

forgot to put it in.

But I saw her put it in. Maybe,

it dropped out on the floor.

Uh, keep your eyes on the road!

Chester, you just went

through a stop sign.

That's what I get for

keeping my eyes on the road.

Oh, God! The police!

- Uh-oh!

- Oh

Oh, God, I knew this was gonna happen.

I knew it. Stay down.

- Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.

- Not you.

Do you know you went through

a stop sign back there?

Uh, no, Officer, I was just about

to back up and stop at it.

Can I see your license?

Officer, uh,

I'm afraid this is my fault.

We were rushing to get to court.

I'm Mrs. Ira Parks,

the District Attorney's wife.

Oh, yes. Mrs. Parks.

- Nice to see you again.
