Bird On A Wire Page #2

That call you've been waiting for?

He's on the line.

He won't give me his current name

or location. He wants Lou Baird.

Rick? How you doing?

This is Joe Weyburn. Remember me?

I set you up at that photo lab in Cleveland.

Was it 1978? No, 1979.

I don"t remember you.

You know us FBI guys all look alike.

You are one rolling stone, aren"t you?

Where are you now, Rick?

Where"s Lou? He would have told me

he was retiring.

- Why didn't he do that?

- To tell you the truth, he lost you.

- He lost me?

- Yeah.

That's why we put him out to pasture,

why I'm on the case.

Where is he? Where did he retire to?

Where did he retire to?

He once gave me a number.

His sister"s place in St. Louis.

He used to go there on vacations.

Is that where he is? Am I getting warm?

He"s out of the picture.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Not at all. Where"s Sorenson?

Still safely in jail as far as I know.

Nothing to worry about.

He"s never getting out!

His partner?

- Diggs?

- Yeah.

Unless he"s made another pass at you...

...he"s probably got his drug money

living the good life in South America.

- We have no idea where he is.

- That"s a relief.

So what is it...

...relocation time?

I guess. Where can you put me?

Where are you now?

And what name are you using?

Come on, I'm just trying to do my job.

Bowers, Billy Ray.

I live above Marvin"s Motown Motors.

Did you get that? I'm not repeating it.

Somebody recognized me.

I want to get out before they come back.

Right.

Two days.

Two days?

Hang on and we"II have somebody

come in and get you.

Okay, l"II be hanging.

The drop in foreign sales...

...reflects both the negative effect

of the strengthening dollar...

...and an upsurge in competitive

production in Europe and Asia.

Add this to the recent surcharge

imposed by the EEC nations...

...it's clear that to preserve the profiit

our shareholders expect...

...we have to make cuts

to our production costs.

While it is true our rising costs...

...will be defrayed by the acquisition of

Coleman Shipping, we should be clear...

You"re freaking me out!

All those opposed?

If Miss Graves will respond?

- Miss Graves!

- Yes.

No.

You are abstaining from the final vote?

Yes. No, I am not.

I see.

She says to me, "'Marvin,

you"re not getting any younger.

"'Think about that young man working

for you, and offer him a partnership."'

- We don"t have no sons.

- You ain"t known me but three months.

How do you know you can trust me

to stick around or not steal from you?

I got my eyes on you.

The hand is quicker than the eye.

l"m going upstairs and get some sleep.

See you in the morning.

Think about that partnership.

- L"II see you in the morning.
