Tell Roger

I'll be there in a second, OK?

What are you gonna do?

Call the cops?

Get the f*** out.

Lower your voice.

F*** you. F*** you!

The pigeon's watching.

I hope he doesn't fly away on you.

Can I get your car?

Ticket.

Weren't you a little rough on Pete?

I don't want him coming round.

I wanted to make that clear.

- You succeeded.

- Honey, please.

Come on, it's time for our toast.

Good health, good fortune,

and the time to enjoy it.

It's an old Castilian toast.

It looks like you've just

made these two people very happy.

I think we'll all have

reason to be happy

when everything falls in place, Roger.

That is a nice ride!

To the most charming women here!

Your beautiful wife and mine.

I'm glad you called.

I've been thinking about you

a lot lately.

Leave it.

Sorry.

Still sensitive, huh?

Did you get shot or something?

It was a fishing accident.

Yeah!

Fishes with guns.

Are you all right?

Cos we can go to a motel.

A nice, cozy bed

if you're having a problem.

Problem...

The only problem that I have

is sleazy, low-life whores like you.

That's my problem.

What the hell's wrong with you?

- Get out.

- I'm not getting out here!

- Get the f*** out!

- Are you crazy?

- I don't know where the f*** I am!

- That's exactly your f***ing problem!

Isn't it?

So, being a policeman is really

all about helping people.

It's about being a friend.

It's not about shooting it out with bad guys,

that's what you see on TV.

That's not why I wanted to become a cop.

I wanted to become a cop

to protect people,

to make them feel happy and safe.

- Everybody understand that?

- Yes.

Anybody have any questions?

- What?

- Do you wear bulletproof vests?

I have to, to protect myself.

Who else?

In the police car,

are you always with somebody?

I have a partner.

His name is Officer Roy Cole.

We've spent time together

for the past seven, eight years.

He's a very good friend of mine.

OK, you.

Could you show me

how to use your handcuffs?

Sure.

Come here.

- What's your name?

- Matthew.

All right, Matthew.

Put your hands out.

Do you think I could get him

to use those on me?

There you go.

You're under arrest, Matthew!

Hi. I couldn't go

without saying thanks

for letting me impress the kids.

- It was a lot of fun.

- Penny really set it up.

Yeah, I talked to Penny before.

I'd like to apologize

for the other night.

- Michael's behavior...

- It took me by surprise.

He invited me and kicked me out.

I would never have come.

Pete, it's not you, it's him.

He's not been himself lately.

Would you like to go get

a cup of coffee?

I... don't go on for a while.

I don't think it's such a good idea.

Come on, you're safe with me.

I'm a cop, remember!

- Just for a little while?

- Yeah. Just...

Is everybody in here a cop?

Yeah, pretty much.

About a year ago,

some jerk came in here

and tried to rip this place off!

When he finally come

crashing through the skylight,

I say, "How's your dick?"

I'm sorry.

We should go somewhere else.

- No, this is great.

- Really?

I think it's really nice you've

got a place to go.

I'd like one. Just...

This is...

This is my least favorite

time of the day.

- Why?

- Umm...

I guess it's getting dark out

and Michael's not home yet.

How did you and Michael get together?

- I was a waitress in his first club.

- Really?

- You were a waitress?

- It was the first job I ever had.

The first one I needed.

We were kind of well off.

My father, as it turned out,

had sort of gambling problems.

And I, umm...

People started coming over

and taking our cars in the night.

It was kind of a scary time.

Did Michael take you away

from all that?

Things always came

really easily to Michael.

Is that why you married him?

I married him because

I fell in love with him.

This is...

I hardly know you

and we're talking like this.

Karen, all the things

that come so easily to Michael,

were you one of them?

Because there's no man deserves

that much good fortune.

And I mean that.

A woman like you,

a man should never take for granted.

And you should never feel unsafe.

And I want you to know,

that if you ever need anything,

you're feeling bad in any way

or you just need to talk,

then Im there for you.

OK? As a friend.

As a real friend, Im there for you.

OK?

Come on.

Let me get you out of here.

How was your afternoon?

Hey, good. It was fine.

You and Mrs. Carr getting along OK?

We seem to be.

When I was a kid at Erasmus,

I didn't have a single teacher

that looked like Karen.

They all had blue hair with names

like Mushbutt or Silvercrone.

Silvercrone's my maiden name.

She had me!

The good news is Frank Taft

was so taken with you,

he's considering

kicking in half the capital.

- Frank Taft... Blue Moon Records?

- We handle him.

- That company's on a roll.

- Major roll.

I don't listen to that sh*t myself...

Sorry, sir. Do you have another card?

- What's the problem?

- It's cancelled.

It's impossible.

Computer glitch. It happens to me.

This is... It's unbelievable.

Relax, you'll get the next one.

All right,

now we're on for Tuesday night.

- Bye!

- Take care.

Michael, what's that?

It looks like you're having a bad night, Michael.

All I know is what's on

the computer printout.

It says you have

parking tickets up the wazoo.

And the computer is wrong.

I'm not paying $600.

for tickets I didn't get.

I've been working here five years.

The computer's never wrong.

Do you want the boot

taken off your car or not?

Unbelievable.

Wait a minute, not that one.

Honey, are you sure about this?

Remember the night

we went to the Minzers' house?

They had the party on Canyon Avenue.

I got a ticket, one ticket.

$600? Come on, Jesus!

Sorry, pal,

you're over the limit on this card.

It's a computer thing,

like Roger said.

Yeah, all right.

$600.

Michael, drop it!

Things went pretty well, didn't they?

- Yeah.

- I thought they went pretty good.

You know what?

They went great.

- You really charmed the pants off Lurie.

- Oh, please!

Thanks.

Stay here and lock the door.

- What are you doing?

- Do it!

Karen, it's all right.

Hello, yes.

This is Michael Carr.

Codeword is pyramid.

We just had our cat

knock over a screen door.

Thank you. Bye.

I never thought

I'd be so happy to see him.

I thought it was the right thing to do.

Thank you for making that decision

for both of us without my having a say.

God damn it,

you know how I feel about guns!

You know how I feel watching a man

come into my home and attack my wife?

I won't be in that position again, Karen.

I don't care what the police say.

I'm keeping that gun.

I'm sorry. I should have told you.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Are you?

Jesus Christ!

Just a goddamn minute! Hey!

What the f*** are you doing?

I was responding to your alarm, Michael.

- Bullshit! You tripped it yourself!

- What?

And the credit card and the boot on my car!

You did that, didn't you?

- Is everything all right?
