as the unwritten law.

Anyone who commits a murder on

the theory that it does exist...

Woman:

Goodness, I feel so tired.

That bazaar's going to be

the death of me.

Younger woman:

Oh, why Don't you sit down--

I'll take care of this.

Suspenseful viewing.

Saturday night at 11:15

on channel 7.

Woman:

I'd like to know where

that husband of yours is.

He's been late

every night recently.

That job is...

( crash )

Younger woman:

Oh, darn!

Woman:

It's all right.

No harm done.

Younger woman:

Oh, here, let me get it.

She has not spoken, and she

carried no identification.

Her head is covered

with bandages,

But doctors

at county general say

Her hair is light brown,

cut short.

She was treated for severe

scalp lacerations.

Doctors think she

might be suffering

From some mental disorder

that would account

For this apparent stupor

and muscular rigidity.

Her clothing has been taken to

the sheriff's lab in the hopes

That it could help

establish her identity.

Woman:

Turn the TV down, Will you?

I thought I heard the car.

Man:

Hello, girls.

Woman:

I thought I heard you.

Man:

Mmmm! Smells good.

Woman:

Did you remember

to call the Irwins, dear?

Man:

Of course I did.

Dinner ready?

I'm starving.

Woman:

But Don't you want

to wait for Bobby?

Man:

What do you mean?

Isn't he home?

His car's here.

Younger woman:

It is? Bobby, you out there?

Coming.

Go wash your hands, daddy.

We can eat right away.

That's the best news

I've heard all day.

Hello, sir.

Hi, son.

How's it going?

Okay. Hi, mom.

Hello, dear.

Come on, sit right down.

Hi, Bobby.

Hi, honey.

Where have

you been?

Just washing my hands.

Oh, well, we were

worried about you.

You certainly

came in quietly.

We didn't hear

the car or anything.

Have you been

home long?

Just got in.

Ah, that looks good.

I didn't have time

for lunch today.

Where were you?

Oh, Robert.

Well, before...

( TV plays quietly )

We thank you for the food

we're about to receive,

In the lord's name, amen.

All:

Amen.

Working you hard,

Bobby, boy?

Not too bad, sir.

They certainly are

working him hard.

Pass Bobby the

rolls, Ilene.

Oh, did you order

those tables

For the bazaar,

dear?

Didn't I say I would,

Charlotte?

What took

you so long?

Give me your plate, Ilene.

What do you mean?

That bazaar is

all I hear about.

Well, you

were so late.

I'm sorry.

Oh, the boss made me stay late.

Give me your

plate, Bobby.

Got to give you

some potatoes.

Had to file some things.

Hey, guess who I saw

coming home?

Who?

Byron Orlok.

Oh!

Really?!

Yup.

Did he scare you?

Yeah. No.

I was driving

toward the freeway,

And I saw him standing

on the sidewalk talking.

Well, to the future.

Ed:

I'll drink to that.

Just get me a drink.

Oh, my God,

I forgot all about you.

How could you forget

about me?

Have a seat, ed.

We had a date, 6:00.

What?

I forgot to tell you.

What's the

problem, ed?

No problem at all.

I just wanted

to go over the arrangements

For tomorrow night.

What's tomorrow

night?

That personal appearance.

What?

At the drive-in.

Yup, now everything's

been taken care of.

We got one of the big l.A.

Disc jockeys

To introduce you, Kip Larkin,

And I think you should meet

with him

Tomorrow afternoon at 3:00,

if it's all right with you.

I'm not making that appearance,

ed.

What?

I'm not making

That appearance.

What do you mean, Byron?

It's all set.

It's all been taken care of,

the ads, everything.

Byron?

Now what am I going to do?

Would you please

bring me a phone?

Man:

Yes, sir.

Ed:

I Don't want

to get upset.

I'm not going to get upset.

Ed:

Thank you very much.

What are you trying to do,

get me fired?

Byron, you know, you do

Have an obligation here.

I have no more obligations,

and it's quite relaxing.

Marshall?

Uh, we got a little problem

here.

I'm with Byron,

and, uh, he says

He's not going

to do that pa tomorrow night.

Marshall?

He wants to talk to you.

He just went to the John.

No.

No.

( whispers ):

He knows you're here.

( whispers ):

I am here.

He says to tell you,

this has nothing to do

With any difference

between you two.

There's a lot of innocent people

affected here.

Tell him I can't quite see him

in the role of public defender.

He's not buying it, Marshall.

Orlok:

If he's so

interested

In the welfare of the people,

Tell him to stop

making pictures.

He doesn't care

about the people.

My interpreter.

Why Don't you talk

to him, Byron?

I'm in the middle here.

Don't call him back, ed.

Why torture yourself?

That's my job.

I get paid to be a masochist.

He's going to sue you, you know.

And he'll win.

I've got a little money.

Did you know

I graduated from Princeton?

Summa cum laude.

I majored

in English literature.

Well...

I think that I'll go

and get drunk.

So long, folks.

Good-bye, Eddie.

( gunshots )

Hey, deer season opens

next week.

Huh, what do you say?

Great.

Think you can get your wife

to let you go?

Don't worry

about that.

( chuckles )

Yeah, it'd be good for us.

Get away from the girls

for a couple of days.

Getting flabby.

Hey, maybe we'll ask

Pete and Tim along.

Just four guys.

Sounds great, sir.

Okay, we'll do it.

You ready?

Ready.

First one misses sets them up.

( gunshots )

Damn it.

( gun c*cks )

Hey!

What are you doing?!

You know better than that!

I was just checking

the elevation.

That's just

how accidents happen.

Never point a gun at anyone.

Sorry.

I wasn't thinking.

All done?

Yes.

Good. What about

my Chinese lesson?

I didn't think

you felt like it anymore.

Oh.

Well, how about

another drink

before dinner?

No, thanks.

Ah, still sulking, huh?

No.

Oh, yes, you are.

You've been sulking around

all evening

Ever since my little scene

with ed.

I have been upset.

I didn't know

it showed that much.

You Don't have to go on

being my secretary, you know.

I know.

I Don't want to

Break up a romance.

I Don't want that added

to my list of sins.

That's not why I'm upset,

and you know it.

No? Well, I feel no remorse,

I can tell you that.

The thought of never laying eyes

On Smith and Loughlin again

fills me with Joy.

So you can just stop

Being my little

oriental conscience.

You really are

in a foul mood.

Not at all.

I'm just tired

of your baleful looks.

Is that why you're trying

to pick a fight with me?

Look, my dear,

I know

you have an oxford degree,

And perhaps all this is

quite unworthy

Of your many talents,

But you are only my employee.

( sighs )

There's an old Chinese saying.

With the rich and powerful,

always a little Patience.

Very clever of the Chinese.

I have an idea.

Why Don't you ask smith

for a job?

Then you can be

with Sammy all the time.

It would be easier

If my concern were

purely selfish, wouldn't it?

I really couldn't

be less interested.

You'd love it

If somehow

you could convince yourself

You'd been betrayed by everyone.

Then you'd really be happy.
