Someone to Watch Over Me Page #2

She's agreed to go out only with her own

chauffeur and limousine. Check it out.

Why am I reminded of

"The Three Stooges"

You a vegetarian?

Miss Gregory is a vegeterian, -

- so I'm putting food for you

in a separate fridge.

You know how to use a microwave?

You know how to use a toaster...

and don't touch the dishwasher.

F***in' A...

Excuse me. This is my dressing room

and those are my clothes.

I understand your responsibilities, -

- but I would appreciate it

if you stay out of here at all times.

Sorry, Miss Gregory. I was just...

checking around. Excuse me.

Other way.

Hard to find the doors in this place.

Lieutenant...

Detective.

I... hope you understand

how upsetting this is.

Yes, Mam, I do.

- You should think twice about it.

- I don't want to talk about it.

You know and I know

that the only thing -

- standing between Venza getting

a life sentence and his freedom -

- is my testimony at his trial.

For God's sake!

He murdered Win. He enjoyed it!

- Win made his choices.

- And I'm making mine.

This Venza is not just a street killer.

He's a psychopath.

He's well-connected. He's going to

get out in ten years... in five years.

In ninety days. You're gonna be looking

over your shoulder the rest of your life.

What am I supposed to do?

I saw

one of my oldest friends get killed.

And I saw who did it.

I can't just let that go away.

I like 'em toasty.

Good night, Mr Keegan.

You're here till what time?

I'm relieved at 4 am.

Would you do me a favour?

I have to go out of town for a few days.

Let's do everything we can to make sure

that this is all less of a trial for her.

A**hole.

Try it again now.

All right!

Hey, Ellie!

What the hell are you doing with my car?

Adjusting the carburettor.

I saw it on... All right.

Tommy, get out of the car.

I saw it on TV. What do you think?

- Television can be a dangerous thing.

- Hey, twenty bucks in the bank.

Tommy, get the hell out of there!

I read this article...

You didn't tell me she was so beautiful.

- She's better looking than that.

- Oh, yeah?

I gotta go.

Tommy, come here.

- What do you think? Okay?

- Unbelievably handsome in a suit.

- You look great.

- Nice clothes, Dad.

I think so, too.

Boston one, New York one...

Rangers have the puck...

And the New York fans...

Hi.

I'm not sure how this works. I have to

go to a reception a few blocks away.

I don't think

that'd be such a great idea.

Lieutenant Garber said

that there was no real danger.

- Is that true?

- Right... that's true.

Can we go then?

- I'd have to call it in...

- There's a phone in the car.

- Hi, Claire.

- Hi.

Do you have another tie?

Something a little more conservative?

I don't have it with me. It's at home.

She's ready. Go ahead, hop in.

What? Jesus Christ,

what a f***ing lunatic! Shopping?!

I don't see that we have much choice.

Tell her, she's a f***ing lunatic.

What did he say?

He thinks you're being a little careless.

He made the point several times.

- You live in Manhattan?

- Queens.

- You know Queens?

- My father founded a school there.

The Milton Gregory. I'm supposed

to speak at their 25th anniversary.

Nice... Maybe you could

stop by my place, have an aperitif.

Maybe not...

- You cannot park here!

- We won't be here a minute.

- Miss Gregory.

- Hi there.

- Would you pick one out?

- Beg your pardon?

If you're going to be my escort,

you need a new tie.

- Perfect.

- I'll take it.

- I... I'll get it.

- No, no, my account.

If we had more time

I'd work on the suit, too.

- You look rather elegant.

- My wife likes this suit.

- Jesus Christ, Keegan!

- I'm on duty.

What kind? Gigolo?

Follow me.

- Claire.

- Oh, Toni.

I wouldn't have missed it.

This is Michael Keegan, the policeman

they've assigned to protect me.

- Antonia Bolt.

- How do you do?

- Marge Goodwin.

- Hello.

He has such nice eyes, very gentle.

Oh, look, he's blushing. I like that.

I hear that you're a policeman.

Yeah, I'm a policeman.

Ever shot anyone?

Doesn't it make you hard?

Erect? You know...

I heard that it gives you a boner

to shoot a man.

I think it's good

if a man's work gives him a boner...

Excuse me.

Everyone thinks

I'm stepping out on Neil.

We're causing quite a scandal.

These people

are a bunch of screaming squirrels.

Let's get a drink.

I'd like to,

but I don't think I should. I'm on duty.

I'd like a spritzer. Couldn't you

order something soft for yourself?

- I've got to go for a pee.

- I'll come with you.

I think I can do that by myself.

- How can I help you?

- A spritzer.

And a vodka martini. Make that a double.

You know what I think?

You're just some schmuck who uses

this policeman line as a come-on.

Yeah? You're probably right.

Don't move!

You're gonna see me in a police line-up

and say it wasn't me.

If you don't do that

someone will come after you.

They're gonna find you dead

with your face missing.

Understood?

Understood?

Good.

Christ, you are one beautiful woman.

Now you walk out of here.

If you ever see me again...

you never saw me before.

It's me.

That son of a b*tch.

My name is Joey Venza.

I'm turning myself in.

- What's that?

- I'm Joey Venza, I'm turning myself in!

Hi... The real estate lady left.

She couldn't wait.

- What took you?

- Ah, some sh*t.

- What sh*t, honey?

- You don't want to hear about it.

Did you see the fireplace? It works.

Ninety-seven five. What do you think?

- Come on, be happy you got him.

- I don't know that. He might get out.

Garber is not being straight

with the witness.

She could be in deep sh*t

if she identifies him.

- She's got to identify him.

- Why?

That's how we stop crime.

We identify the criminal.

I can't believe that you're

talking like this, Mister Detective.

- It proves that this girl's got guts.

- I think she's crazy.

- I would identify him.

- Yeah?

- Well, I might stop you.

- I can see you're in a wonderful mood.

- We'll look at the house another time.

- No, no... I'm sorry.

- Ninety-seven five, right?

- Where did you get the tie?

What did you say

the down payment was here?

Look, she didn't like my tie.

So, she picked out another one.

- She took you shopping for a tie?

- I had to follow her to a store.

What's the matter with your paisley tie?

- It was a formal party. Come on!

- Oh, excuse me, Mikey!

- You went to a party together?

- Yeah!

Yeah! I'm her bodyguard, goddammit!

I know you're her bodyguard, goddammit!

Did she buy the tie or did you?

- She bought it.

- Why?

I don't know why!

Because she's a generous person -

- and I could be setting her up

to be killed. You want the f***ing tie?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.

Looks good on you that tie.

Next time you two go shopping,

could you pick us up a washer-drier...

From Maytag... portable kind?

Come on, let's see the bedroom.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Just checking to see if you were here.

- Yeah, I came on at eight.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry about what happened.
