and you could talk to me,

if that's alright. - Officer,

this is serious. - Let her talk.

What do you want?

I just want you to know

the man next to you is my son.

We've had our difficulties.

- Mom, stay out of this, okay?

Joe, wave to the crowd.

- Mom. Goddamnit!

You don't swear to your mother.

Butt out, it's my mother.

- So do what she tells you.

Start waving or I'm jumping.

Start waving!

Start waving or I'm jumping!

I'm waving. See?

Mom, hi.

By the way, Joe's still single.

How do you like that?

He's a very nice boy.

A bit rough round the edge,

but nothing the right girl couldn't

smooth out. - Secure the megaphone.

We used to fight all the time.

He was very small for his age.

I was not! I was average height!

About your height. What's the deal?

Bet she's got pictures.

- I've got pictures, wait a minute.

She's got pictures.

- Mom, get rid of the pictures!

Isn't he adorable?

I thought I had things bad.

- Not close.

I'm ready to go in now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

- Yeah.

That guy needs help.

Lesley Carnel, Channel 8 News.

We're downtown at 4th and Main,

where a man is on a ledge,

apparently despondent

about his mother. - Make her stop!

Are we here?

Is that your house?

What?

It's very, very nice.

- What's the matter. - Nothing.

You sniffed.

No, it's nothing. Only...

Only what?

Won't get a girl if you don't clean.

I clean this house every morning.

I clean and I clean.

It's not clean.

Filled with dust. Look at this!

You could grow things on it.

What's this? There's stuff under it.

Is that the closet?

No!

- What?

I've had a few problems

since my cleaning lady left.

Maybe she's lost in there.

Pineapple chunks?

- They're your favorite!

We've got them here too.

They don't taste the same.

- It's canned, exactly the same.

My son, the gourmet? Ha, ha.

Come on up, darling.

This is the way we clean the house,

clean the house, clean the house.

This is the way we clean the house,

early in the morning...

Oh God, make her stop!

Thank you, God.

I owe you.

What's this?

Oh, Joe's gun.

Look at this, all greasy and dirty.

Let's see...

There we go.

This and this...

Some of this...

Let's see... A little of that...

That's gonna be good!

Where do they keep the bullets?

Oh, not in there.

What's this little thing here?

Oh, goodness gracious.

Yes, that's where they are.

Okay, we'll wash those too.

This is the way we wash our gun,

wash our gun, wash our gun...

This is the way we wash our gun,

early in the morning.

Going to clean that out

really well. That's fine.

Go ahead, make your bed!

What did you do to my gun?

- Nothing, I cleaned it.

You ruined it!

You took all the bluing off!
