So the point of covert police

work is not to talk about it.

This incident is public record, sir.

Involving undercover police

who like to keep a low profile,

so they can sleep at night.

You can't imply nefarious activity

because a felon whispered

thank you to one of them.

I qualified it with a question.

You qualified. . .

Watch my lips, son.

You're not qualified to qualify.

Nobody cares what you think.

Only what you know and that's

diddly 'cause you don't do the work!

Unfortunate this is about as well

written as you are uninformed.

You know what?

I think you should try novels.

You're fired.

This isn't a real paper anyway.

Perfect for you.

Lazy little sh*t.

Get out while you can.

Sh*t.

Rafe.

Don't make yourself crazy.

You're gonna give

yourself a hernia.

Come on. Let's go to bed.

You want the free range

Chicken Kiev with potatoes

or vegetables over risotto

in a bell pepper sauce?

I'd like a meal prepared to order,

not manufactured for distribution.

Ashford was right.

About what?

All this articulate conjecture

wrapped around one fact.

- Isiaha Charles, illegal weapons

possession. / - Right.

- 8 words if you count the preposition.

- Another critic.

- You asked me to read it.

- It was mistake.

Because I agree with him?

Come on, sweetie.

You know I thought being fired

was the highlight of my day.

You're great sex.

But imperious and penniless

are serious social handicaps

and you should stick

with your strengths.

I was hoping for sympathy.

Poor baby.

Well, that woulda worked.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

Rafe.

Talk to me, please.

- Is It your headaches again?

- Leave It alone, please.

I said I'm okay.

What's wrong with you?

I'm worried.

I'm okay. I'm all right.

I'm gonna take a ride.

Rafe please,

you need to get help.

He couldn't'a done better,

believe me.

Hey, Rafe, what's up?

You're almost a no-show

for inspection.

Oh, no no.

I had dinner at Maria's.

I thought you were ending that.

I am gonna process ending it.

You can get inspected every day of

the week, Rafe, if you need it.

But there are no exceptions.

I need your commitment.

I made my commitment.

That's for sure.

All right.

Let's go have some fun.

- say hello to Marilyn.

- Hey, Marilyn.

Hey, hero.

The girls'll be happy to see you.

He's making me

a little bit nervous.

You stalking me now?

- I'm not lazy.

- You're stoned.

And you are a vision

of temperance.

- this Is Cambodia.

- It was Kampuchea at the time.

Wow. I knew you used

to be somebody but

- You're burying the lead, kid.

- Come on man, I'm a good writer.

So what?

That builds strong papers.

- And this story Is impor. . .

- Pollack.

I don't publish stories.
