I can't catch my breath, Ira.
We need to talk.
If it's about Nick,
I don't want to hear his name.
Not tonight, Glenda.
I want one night alone.
Just us.
No dogs, no cats,
no ex-husbands.
Just us, the way we were.
All right. Great. Great.
- All right.
Remember that night
up in Lake George
when you came into the cabin
after that moonlight swim
- I don't talk wanna about it.
I don't know. I just don't
want to talk about it.
It was a wonderful night. You
were standing there all naked.
No, I don't wanna
talk about it! I wasn't!
All right, we don't have to talk about it.
We don't have to say anything.
Wha What is it
Is it something I've done?
Is it Nick? Is that all
you're worried about?
All right, all right!
That's it!
It's clear to me that you and I are
never going to have a moment's peace
until that man
is out of our lives.
If you can't learn to
give up the past,
then you're gonna have to
learn to give up the present.
You can't rehabilitate
an entire world, Glenda.
Why the hell did you
ever say "I do" to me,
when you're still saying
"I did" to him.
You know something?
I'm better off sleeping
with the goddamn dogs.
I know when I'm not wanted.
Do you see that telephone?
You have exactly 10
seconds of freedom left
before the entire Los Angeles police
department surrounds this area.
Next time, I'm gonna hide in your bedroom.
You two are never in there.
I am crossing.
Couldn't we work something out?
I think, the three of us
make a wonderful pair.
I'm dialing.
Every woman's fantasy.
Alternating husbands.
I'm talking. Hello?
This is Mrs. Ira Parks.
The fugitive you're looking
for, Nicholas Gardenia,
has just broken into our house.
I'll miss my old room.
I don't think I'll ever be able
to sleep on top of a bed again.
I'm I'm sorry, Aurora.
I woke you up.
I'll explain everything
in the morning.
Buenas noches.
Captain Anderson, please.
Ira Parks.
Ira I've got to
tell you something.
No, don't tell me.
I have a hunch. I know.
Ira. My car was stolen again.
- Oh, God.
No, I can see it driving away.
My bet is it's Nicholas Gardenia.
I win my bet, Sam.
No, you don't have
to come out here.
But if he scratches a fender, you have
my permission to use police brutality.
He was under the bed again.
Wasn't he?
I tried to tell you but you
Telling me a man is under the
is not exactly
talking about him.
Instead of wasting
all that time crying,
why didn't you
I would have been
mildly curious.
Well, I didn't let him in! He
probably got there before you.
He always gets there before me!
Okay. You win.
You're too smart for us, Ira.
Nick and I purposely got a
divorce, so I could marry you,
knowing that you would buy a house
with a room over the garage.
So that, when he was kidnapped,
after he spent two years in a Mexican
jail, robbed a bank in Carmel,
He could then hide out
in our spare room
so while you and I were
throwing parties
to celebrate your running
for Attorney General,
I would be able to
run up there, sneak away,
and be able to spend
I've been found out.
I confess. I confess!
- You're having a breakdown. Aren't you?
- A big one!
It's been coming a long time,
and this is it!
What are you doing?
What's wrong?
I'm hyperventilating.
I can't breathe.
What do you mean
you can't breathe?
That's all you're doing
is breathing.
It's too much breathing. I'm
losing all my carbon dioxide.
All right Just calm down.
You want a glass of water?
I'm breathing all the time?
I breathe all the time.
That's because
you're not hysterical.
All right. Lie down.
You wanna lie down?
No, no. Just leave me alone.
I wanna lie down.
That's what
I just said to lie down.
Why is it when I bring something
up, you don't want to do it?
Because when you bring it up,
I don't want to bring it up.
- You just brought it up.
- Ira, please
- Just let me lie down.
- You are lying down.
- Ira!
- Okay, I'll go to the window.
No! Don't go to the window. He'll
only come through it again.
Oh, calm. Calm.
I have to get calm.
Mmm
- Uh, don't excite me.
- No.
- Don't mention Nick. Nick excites me.
- Oh.
I don't mean the way you mean. He
excites me the other way. The bad way.
Oh. I know
what you mean, honey.
Everything is all right.
We'll kill him. The man is dead.
I promise you.
- Don't go away!
- No, I'm gonna stay here.
- Lock the door.
- Okay, I'll just
- Don't leave me!
- I'll stay right here
- Look under the bed.
- Look under But, he's not under the bed.
- He's in my car. I saw him drive away in my car
- Look anyway, honey.
He's like a termite. He gets into the
cracks in the wood. Is he there?
- No, he's not there.
- Look again.
- Would you
- I'll take another look.
- He's not there. I swear.
- Okay.
We have the room
all to ourselves. Okay.
Ira, we've got to keep him out.
It's our only chance.
Okay, hmm
Put some garlic
around the window.
Maybe a big cross over the bed.
- We've got to protect ourselves.
- Yeah.
Morning, Mr. Parks. Did they
catch the first Mr. Parks?
I'm the first Mr. Parks.
Oh, yeah.
And don't blow the horn.
Mrs. Parks isn't feeling well.
Does that mean
I get the day off?
No, that means you get to
wash the windows in the house.
The Governor's coming
for dinner tonight.
He ain't gonna be looking out no
windows if he's eating dinner.
- Good morning.
- Maybe for you. Not for me.
- I'm putting it all here
in the letter.
Can't you just tell me
instead of writing it down?
I can't stop something
once I've started.
All right. There will be
six for dinner tonight,
including the Governor
and his wife.
We'd like you
to serve at 8:
00.Well, they're gonna be
serving me dinner at 8.00.
- I'm going to the hospital.
That's why I put in the letter
so I don't have to explain.
- Please explain.
The letter says, "The doctor says, I
gotta have my feet scraped today.
"The doctor says, 'Aurora, you gotta be
off your feet for two days, because'"
Do you want me to read you the
whole letter? I gotta go now.
Now With the Governor coming?
What about dinner?
He can have mine.
I hate that hospital food.
Tell Mrs. Parks, I called my
sisters, but they're all busy.
I'm very sorry.
Aurora, you can't just leave.
What will I do?
Well, if I were you, I'd put
- Don't step on my feet!
Morning.
Coffee.
I've never felt this bad
in my whole life.
Wait. It's early yet.
- It's a letter from Aurora.
I can't get my eyes open.
Can't you read it to me?
Frankly,
I haven't got the heart.
- I can't make this out. Who's going to the hospital?
- Aurora.
- Then how's she gonna be able to make dinner?
