Synopsis: Hamburger joint waitress Sally Jackson is pregnant. When Beatrice, the wife of the father, finds out about his infidelity, she sends her sons from a previous marriage, military pilots Angus and Dorian Montier, to scare the living daylights out of him. Their gunship does such a good job, without hitting him, that he dies from a heart attack. Worrying about radio interference that night, they investigate who might have heard too much within the fairly empty reception perimeter, and soon discover only Sally could, still ignorant about her affair with his step-dad Henry. Dorian takes a job there to be sure, but soon falls for her himself, while mother-obsessed moron Angus would do anything to anyone for her honor...

I'd appreciate your getting

that dog out of my kitchen.

He's clean. I just washed him.

So, your cheating stepfather

finally had his coronary?

It was a thing of beauty.

We had the timing down to the second.

It was perfect. I think I have

a head for logistics. Seriously!

- You did it.

- There was no bullets.

Just blanks.

No shell casings.

There was no tracks.

There's no signs of violence whatsoever.

There was no clues.

It was great.

You killed him.

Well, yeah, that's...

...what you wanted, wasn't it?

Angus, I never actually

used the word "kill."

Dorian, did I?

No, ma'am.

But he's dead?

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

He's dead.

No one will have to know.

What?

I mean, there's no real witnesses.

Maybe one.

The girl at Burger-Matic?

She doesn't know anything.

Maybe someone else there does.

Get a job there and we can

figure it out for sure.

I've successfully avoided

working there this long. You do it.

- You look perfect.

- Absolutely not.

- You've got that youthful look.

- I've got calls to make.

Sorry, Mom.

We'll make sure there's no loose ends.

Dorian!

Your hat.

Helmet, Mom. It's a helmet.

Get your helmet off my table.

I got to wear a hairnet and a paper hat?

Nobody over 14 works in a Burger-Matic.

I'm 24 years old.

Settle down!

Hi, Mary.

It's Beatrice.

I know, it's been awhile.

Just thought I'd let...

Henry's dead.

Henry's dead! I don't know!

Thank you, Mrs. Vaughn.

Mama?

I've made a decision.

Henry didn't tell his wife,

so I'm going to tell her.

- You can't go over there today.

- Why not? I'll find a ride.

Bad news at the cigarette factory.

At the cigarette factory?

What happened?

I hate you.

Believe me, I would do this if I could.

It's just you're so much better

at recon than I am.

I'm guessing no one knows anything.

It's just a matter of keeping

our loose ends tied together.

Just go in and mingle with the natives.

Take the pistola.

You think one will be enough?

Maybe I should take

a few hand grenades.

How'd that be?

Could you be more paranoid, please?

It's just in case, all right?

I'd appreciate it.

It's just, this is my first job,

not counting the Army...

...or the Guard, so...

Chill out.

Just go in there...

He won't ask me for a rsum?

It's not that kind of job.

It's the Burger-Matic!

Stand straight,

look him in the eye.

It's all about first impressions.

First impressions, you can do that.

Now go in there. You'll do fine.

Don't let anyone see the gun.

Really? I get the truck tomorrow.

It's not registered.

No one expects you to work today.

Why don't you call someone

to take you home?

I'll be all right, Billy.

You sure?

Let me know if you change your mind.
