I'II put Monkey right over here | by you on that side.

And I'II put SaIIy over here | to keep you company.

You had a bad day.

- Why do you say that? | - Frown-face.

I have a "frown-face" because it's | after ten o'clock and you're stiII awake.

Where were you tonight?

I was working.

Why?

Because I was helping a young girl.

AII right. But that's gonna cost ya.

AII right. What's it gonna be?

One hug, two kisses.

You cut a tough deal. | OK, here's one hug.

And one kiss.

And two kisses.

WiII they put Bart Simpson in the parade?

They wiII put Bart Simpson | in the parade if you go to sleep right now.

OK. But I don't think they'II care | if I go to sleep or not.

- Good night, sweetheart. I Iove you. | - Love you too.

- Let me give you a hand, Detective. | - Thanks.

That's beautiful.

What exactly is beautiful?

- Your Ieather jacket. It's beautiful. | - Right.

- Did you read about the Manhattan Bridge? | - No.

It was built wrong. It moves ten feet.

- Syd Simon. | - I'II see you Iater.

- Detective Cassidy, what can I do for you? | - What do we got?

FIoater. Female, no ID.

She's maybe in her twenties.

SIoughing of her skin teIIs me | she's been in the water two, three days.

This time of year, | with the water cold, could be Ionger.

A couple to three days tops.

Her hands have been tied. | They recover any rope or anything?

They're stiII Iookin'.

Another body was found | a couple of days ago.

- Battery Park area? | - Yeah.

The victim was male, middle-aged. | Day before yesterday.

- I need preliminary findings by tonight. | - Dream on, Detective. I got cases piled up.

C'mon, Syd. I got plans for | Thanksgiving. Do me right, aII right?

- Tomorrow's the best I can do. | - Thank you.

First thing, though.

Cars have now been towed, | the roads plouphed to the pavements,

so the annual Turkey Trot, | the 8,000-metre race...

8,000-metre race? That doesn't sound ripht.

You can't be distracted.

Here you are, immobile,

totaIIy exposed,

and quite vulnerable.

I think you need a bath.

Guess what, sweetie. | I already had a bath today.

You did?

You didn't have Nathan Conrad's | fantastic special bath, did you?

- No. | - No, you didn't do that.

I didn't get that one yet.

Pretty hot. Not too hot, is it?

- No. It's nice. | - Good.

- We should keep it down. | - You're the one that makes the noise.

Prepare to die of delight.

Jessie, c'mon. Let's join the downhiII racer.

I heard that about the downhiII racer.

Honey, you were dreaming. | I didn't say anything.

- It was icy, you know? | - I know it was, baby.

- And very windy, too. | - It was a heII-ride.

- Good morning. | - Morning. You think she's stiII sleeping?
