Felix Bonhoeffer.

- Bonhoeffer?

- Yeah, Felix Bonhoeffer.

I saw you on the news

just now with my friend.

- Tracy Abbott.

...and at the racetrack.

- That's right, yes.

- What is all this?

- I know you.

- Okay, look, I gotta go.

- You gonna be okay?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

- I'm sure.

- Easy does it, now, fella.

- I will. Okay.

Hey, Gina,

are you sure you're okay?

I'll be fine.

... crossfire shootout

on the Morning View Freeway.

Gina, you know how to reach me.

I do!

You're a real good citizen,

Mort, the best.

Ray, can we talk?

Nothing to talk about, baby.

I need more time.

Time's up, old pal,

know what I mean?

It's zippo.

So what do I do now?

Just drive.

Where?

You know where. Drive.

It's not meant to happen

for me like this, Ray.

I got a wife, two kids.

It was just business.

I can pay you back.

Say bye-bye, little birdies,

fly, fly far away.

Stop! Don't do this!

Bye-bye.

Did you get through to Sandra?

No.

No, I left her a message, told her

we'd be there around 4:00, 4:30,

and that tomorrow

we'd take her to a magic show.

What did she say?

I told you she wasn't there.

- It's so hot.

- You want some water?

Your Uncle Bernie used to say

I was like a cat on a hot tin roof,

like Elizabeth Taylor

in that picture with Richard Burton.

- Paul Newman.

- Who?

Paul Newman.

You know, he had

the most beautiful blue eyes.

- Who?

- Richard Burton.

Ready?

I'll have a glass of milk,

two poached eggs for my friend,

and is it too late for oatmeal?

No, you could get oatmeal.

Great, I'll have it

with honey and a banana

and a glass of orange juice, please.

Alrighty.

Hey, Joanie,

I'm gonna take five minutes, okay?

All right, Mel, we got two poached,

oatmeal with a side of banana,

and a milk and an OJ.

Okay. Busy out there?

Yeah, packed to the rafters.

My feet are killing me.

Hey, Bonnie, what time is it?

My watch stopped.

Call Joanie when my order's ready.

I'm gonna get some air.

She needs to move her ass, anyway.

Hi, Bonnie.

Hey, Eddie.

How's your daughter doing, Eddie?

She's fine, thank you.

How's your daughter doing, Eddie?

She's fine, thank you.

Good morning.

Take it easy, Bonnie.

- Bonnie.

- Yeah?

You still want Joanie

to take it out?

Forget it. I'll take it.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.

Hey, thanks a bunch, Joanie.

Sorry, Bonnie, I forgot.

All right, ladies, here we are...

poached eggs.

There's your oatmeal

with bananas and honey.

Thank you.

Hello there, gentlemen.

The house is open.

You can sit anywhere.

There you go.

Anything to drink?

Coffee.

Okay, coffee.

Sir, anything for you?

Okay. One coffee coming up.

Would you like some water?

No.

Bonnie.

Yes, sir?

That is your name, is it not?

Excuse me?

- Bonnie.

- Take it easy, Bonnie.

That is your name, is it not?

Oh, yeah, it is.

What do you call the other one?

Sorry, my friend can be

quite rude sometimes.

- Isn't that right, Fat Man?

- Wish you wouldn't call me that.

- Call you what?

- Fat Man.

- But you are fat.

- I'm not fat.

Bonnie, don't you think

my friend here is fat?

Don't you think he's fat, Bonnie?

No, sir.

Thank you, lady, thank you.

So, what'll it be?

I would like...

Let's see here, I would like...

Omelet, Denver style.

Would you recommend Denver style?

...side of bacon, real crisp,

like my mom used to make it.

Oh, I see hash browns

are included.

That's good,

and toast included also.

Ray, toast is included also.

Isn't that something?

So, let's see here.

Not your sourdough

but your whole wheat,

and real well-done.

Like his mama used to make it.

Yes, how my mommy

used to make it.

For you, sir?

We're making

little Bonnie nervous, Fat Man.

Are we making you nervous?

We're real sorry, Bonnie.

Look, I don't want any trouble.

Who's causing trouble?

I know what it is.

She thinks you're Dr. Phil.

It's making her all of a dither.

You think I look

like Dr. Phil, Bonnie?

- Probably turning her on.

- I don't know, sir.

I mean,

is my resemblance to Dr. Phil

making you hot, bothered,

bewildered, and juicy?

'Cause if it is, Bonnie,

we can find a cozy little place,

and we can get really acquainted.

Look, please, do you...

Do you want to order?

I think not.

I'm just happy being here,

if that's all hunkety-dunkety-doo

with you, Bonnie.

So...

what do you call the other one?

Come out with your hands up.

Isn't it just a beautiful day

out there?

Come and get me, copper!

Don't, Johnny! No!

What a beautiful day!

Wouldn't you agree, ladies?

Just drink your milk.

Beautiful day?

You can look at me all you want,

ladies, no problem with that.

You got a problem, Bonnie?

No, sir.

Well, okay. If there are no problems,

then what the f*** are you staring at?

Look, we don't want

any trouble here.

How about rustling up

Boo Boo's breakfast?

I like that, Yogi.

Smarter than

your average bear, eh, Boo Boo?

Boo Boo. So silly.

- What's your name, baby doll?

- Joanie.

That's what you've been

drooling over so lustfully.

Joanie.

Ain't that cute.

Little sad, too,

now I gotta be honest.

Still wanna be

Mommy's little treasure?

Am I right?

Not quite ready to let go

of all your little girly yesterdays?

Pretty soon, sweetie pie, you're

gonna have to give up all that sh*t

when you join the festering parade

of tired old broads...

the Bette Anns, the Mary Lous,

the Patsys, the Cindys...

the Bonnies.

Just talking about you.

Come on, get a move on!

Boo Boo tends to get a little snarly

when he hasn't eaten,

right, Boo Boo?

So we got the Joanies,

the Bonnies, and we got the Bettes.

How you doing, old gal?

It is Bette, isn't it?

Not "Bett"?

And her name's Gina, right?

Good morning.

Or should I say, good afternoon.

Hello.

What's your problem, pointy head?

Got no problems.

Then what are you staring at?

Nothing.

Heck of a lot of staring going on

in this place, eh, Boo Boo?

Makes me feel real itchy

and twitchy all over.

You don't have to be sorry.

Be conscientious, be American,

with American values... industry, valor!

That's what I like to see.

That's all I ask

of my fellow Americans.

"I am not a crook!"

Bonnie, where's

my friend's breakfast?

I'm just preparing it now.

Good! Continue the preparation.

- What is your name, pinhead?

- Mel.

That's an all-American name to me, Mel.

Got a ring of authenticity.

Kinda cracker barrel,

know what I mean?

Chill Wills, Slim Pickens,

Andy Devine, and Big Mac Mel.

Nice cozy little setup

you got here.

Tell me something, if you're not

too much of a whacked-out old fairy:

What exactly is your relationship

to sweet Bonnie Daydream, here?

- Nothing.

- She your little piece of ass?

I'm gonna keep my eye

on you, Mel baby.

Bonnie, come on out.

Mel, this way.

Mel, let me introduce you

to Abe Geekman.

His friends, and in this regard

I would count myself

as one of his closest

and dearest buddies, call him Geek.

Hi, gang.

You okay, Geek,

ol' Snuggly Boo?

Let's put up the Closed sign
