where you're not supposed to be.
You don't have to do this.
Why are you fighting it?
Come to my benefit.
Oh, please.
Do you really need me?
- It sounds so...
- It's getting late.
You come, say a few words
about the Constitution,
wrongful imprisonment.
Or get someone else
to clean up your messes
when you breeze back into town.
Are you blackmailing
your only client?
Hey, we're old men.
We're doing favors for each other.
Well, I favor you
with a monthly check, I believe.
Shalom, big boy.
Because I'm too old to be
going out Manhattan South
We ended up in the wrong place.
This girl, she gets around.
She likes to play it slumming,
and it bit her in the ass.
Man, you know,
you behave like it's 1970
and you're still living in Malibu.
There may be somebody
from one of the papers there.
You're gonna come to my thing
at the Palm.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Two, three.
Sh*t.
- What are you here for, Eli?
- They're having a raffle.
I thought I'd just see
if I get lucky.
What's the prize?
The TV starlet, maybe?
You don't have
that many clients anymore.
I can figure it out.
Better if you tell me.
Who am I telling? Norris Volpe
or the "New York Post"?
You didn't invite me to your benefit.
I like causes.
Should've put me on the list.
You're invited. You sit at
my table next to Cary Launer.
- Done deal.
- He won't show.
Her network has me on retainer.
This thing leaks, I'm out.
You take the food out of my mouth.
Norris, I need the job.
Please.
The only reason
is you're so moth-eaten.
If I f***ed you, there'd be nobody
from the old days
for me to play with.
Pervy little tabloid cocksucker.
I heard that.
Ms. Hopper,
we need your date of birth.
Yeah. Right.
Ms. Hopper,
I'm Jerome Eli Wurman.
Took long enough.
Where's the car? I stink.
Since when did this town start
arresting people for having fun?
You tell me.
Got to check everything, 'cause
they go through your stuff
like it's a f***ing grab bag.
Yeah.
Well, it's all right.
We don't live in a town
with a morals clause.
Where are you from?
Georgia. Listen.
You need some sleep
and something in your stomach.
You'll be as good as new.
Believe me.
Come on.
It's all right.
Yeah.
This is why I don't come back
to New York.
Because I fall right on my ass
every time.
Yeah. I know.
I just wish I had a little
perfume or something.
Listen.
I got a good doctor.
You know what I'm saying?
You got any Xanax?
You want Xanax from me?
Let's see what I got
in the drugstore.
Pills, pills.
Here you go.
A little Xanax.
Can I interest you
