- No?

- No. No.

Okay. Okay.

# Just like me #

# they long to be #

# close to you #

Sign here.

Just initial it.

That's right. Okay.

Now over here.

That's fine.

And here again.

Right.

We appreciate this, Ralph. My mother and I

want you to know we really appreciate this.

- I have office hours during the day, you know.

- Speed is our best weapon.

In quick, out quick.

That's what they taught us in the army.

An annulment is gonna take

from three to six months.

If you want a divorce quick,

she'll have to go to Santo Domingo.

Santo Domingo?

She didn't have much of

a vacation in Florida, anyway.

I wish you'd have let me discuss settlement.

I could've saved you money.

It's settled. It's settled.

I gave her everything.

All I kept was my savings bonds, $900.

- I could've done better for you.

- No. I want it this way.

I'm not looking to come out a winner.

I'm willing to pay for my mistake.

Of course, if she's willing to discuss it,

I'll leave that up to you.

The final papers will come

through in about three weeks.

The sooner, the better.

I'm heading for the midwest.

- I'll send you my address.

- What's in the midwest?

A terrific girl I met on my honeymoon.

Don't worry. I'll send you an invitation.

Hi, Mr. Corc.

Len Cantrow from Florida?

I'm here.

I don't expect you to let me see your

daughter right off, sir,

but I just wanted to stop by

and let you know...

that it wasn't some wild story

I made up in Florida.

I have gotten myself free.

Well, I've gotta run now

because I'm getting myself set up.

Please say hello

to Mrs. Corcoran for me.

Would you please tell Kelly that I've gotten

myself a room at the Knoll Way Motel?

Knoll Way Motel.

Good afternoon, sir,

and I hope I see you again very soon.

Cantrow.

Sir?

You show your face here again,

I'm gonna kick your ass

right over the Canadian border.

And now for the weather.

The 11:
00 P.M. twin cities temperature

is 13 degrees below zero,

barometer rising.

A new warm front moving down from Canada

will bring tomorrow's temperature...

Up to a new high ranging

between zero and five above.

Temperatures slightly lower

in the suburbs.

Hello, everyone. I'm Bill Williamson,

your Minneapolis-St. Paul

weatherman.

There's good news in the twin cities

weather forecast for tonight.

But first, the current temperature in Minneapolis

is three degrees below zero.

It's two degrees below in St. Paul

and four below at the airport.

The barometer is

30.02 and rising.

Winds are from the northwest

at four Miles per hour.

Temperatures will fall to between 18

and 21 degrees below zero tonight.

Kelly!

- I'm here. I made it.

- I heard. You must be crazy or something.

- I'm out. I'm free and clear, just like I said.

- Hi, Kelly.

Hi. You must've been crazy,

just ringing my bell like that.

- Hi, Kelly.

- Hi.

- I can't talk to you. I've got political science.

- Wait a second.

We've got serious things to discuss.

Look. I'm very flattered you came, really,

...but the situation's impossible.

- Kelly.

- Just a minute.

- Hello, Kelly.

- Hi. I've gotta go.

- Wait a minute.

You worried about your father?

I'm gonna handle that.

My father says that if you're not gone by tonight,

he's gonna get you with his car.

- I have to go.

- Listen. Kelly, listen.

Hey, I'm real surprised.

I'm surprised by your reaction.

I mean, I'm really very surprised.

You picked a bad time to come.

Bad time?

Do you remember Florida? I mean,

does Florida seem vaguely familiar to you?

Certainly I remember Florida.

I'll never forget it.

But this is Minnesota, and I've got

Political Science, and I've gotta go.

I'm really very flattered.

- A guy I met in Miami.

- What'd he want?

Kelly? Kelly, I gotta talk to you.

- I'm sorry. I've got English lit.

- That's all right.

Listen. I just need two minutes

to talk to you in private.

- Didn't you hear what she said the first time?

- Certainly I heard what she said.

I'm only standing a foot away.

How could I possibly miss it?

- I just need to talk to you for two minutes.

- Hey!

It's okay.

I'll see you in class.

I mean, what did you

think it was, a game?

This is no game.

This is my life.

I don't play games with my life.

You really got a divorce?

You think I was just really fooling around

with you in Florida?

Didn't I tell you

I was gonna get a divorce?

I don't play games with my life.

Gee, I'm really flattered.

I'll tell you the truth. I was under

the impression that our relationship--

was at a much more advanced stage...

than the point where you're

really very flattered.

I just gave up a whole goddamn marriage.

You caught me off guard.

It's my first day back at school.

- I've got English lit.

- Oh, you know, screw English lit!

I just gave half my life away!

I mean--

you don't even say hello to me!

Where's your goddamn laugh?

I haven't heard your goddamn laugh...

one time since I've been here.

I can't help it.

Florida seems like such a long time ago.

It's two weeks ago. What, you can't retain

a memory for two weeks?

I gave up $6,000.

I gave up my wife.

I gave up my car.

And you can't retain a memory for two--

What, are you-- are you re--

What was all the-- what was all the

"you're sitting on my stool"?

"That's my spot."

What is all that crap?

Really, that's just a bunch of crap!

And I'm a schmuck!

- I was very attracted to you.

- Were you?

You were very attracted to me.

You were very-- well, that's cute.

That's a cute thing.

So I was, uh...

Something to do.

No, I can understand that.

I can under--

Listen. What is it--

I had a crummy divorce.

What is it to me, right?

I also got a suntan.

You really have to look at it that way.

That's the way life is--

good and bad, you know.

The important thing is

that you get to English lit.

That's really the important

thing that we do here.

- Hey.

- What?

Don't get so morbid.

Give a girl a chance.

Is this how they kiss in Minnesota?

I'm getting a house this afternoon.

First, you have to take me

back to English lit.

What time is your last class?

Pick you up after your last class.

Well, it's at 2:
30, but...

I was supposed to meet someone.

What, the guy with the big neck?

That guy's got a 40-inch neck.

You know, he's finished.

That guy is through.

That's over, really.

The money is here.

But I wouldn't start in with him.

He's captain of everything.

I spent three years in the armed forces.

That guy is through.

Kelly!

Kelly--

I'm getting sick and tired

of you bugging Kelly.

Yes, I understand.

I'd like to introduce myself.

My name is Leonard Cantrow. I'm with

the Department of Justice, Bureau of Narcotics.

I'd like to ask you a couple of questions.

May I see that cigarette?

May I see the pack that came out of?

You wanna just step back there a minute, please.

You a student here?

- Yeah.

- What year are you in?

- Sophomore.

- What's your name, please?

You don't need my name.

Son, I don't want any trouble here.
