- Who's this bum?

You have to watch these guys

who hang out in the park.

- What's this?

- What?

Bubble-gum?

Don't you know where to park your gum?

- Where?

- On the bedpost, for crying out loud.

You got any questions about important

stuff like this, you come ask your lawyer.

- Okay.

- Okay. I ever show you this one?

Twice.

Okay, wise guy, you get them apart.

I'll bring him right back. Promise.

- Coffee?

- No.

One. Regular. Thanks.

Wait a minute.

We agree, so what's the problem?

I don't have a problem

with the idea of a lawsuit.

I don't want Chris to have to relive it all.

Neither do I.

But that coffee machine

was f***in' defective...

...and we gotta nail them

so no one else is killed.

So long as Chris

doesn't have to testify. I mean it.

- I feel very strongly about this.

- You and me both.

This will not go to trial.

I promise you. They'd be crazy.

They'll settle. Do you smoke?

No, thanks, I quit.

Yeah, me too.

I quit at least twice this week already.

Thanks.

I love Chris, you know that.

He's a great kid.

Tell you the truth,

he's not the one I'm worried about.

- I'm all right.

- That's it? "I'm all right"?

You spend your time

listening to cops' problems...

...you can't talk about your own?

It's lonely.

Yeah?

I'm trying to pick up the pieces.

It really feels strange being back.

The city's changed a lot.

Some days I'm not so sure

it was a good idea to bring Chris here.

But in a funny way,

it's brought us closer together.

You need anything at all,

I'm there before you hang up the phone.

I know.

- I feel better. You?

- I feel better.

Sit down.

Linda? You want to send in

Mr. Jamison, Esquire, please?

What is this?

My 11:
00 number.

Come on in, kid. Sit down.

Get a load o' this.

I win.

Cheater.

Hi, Carmen. Any calls?

No calls.

But this come for you.

From where?

It's a housewarming present

from Mrs. Halliday.

- She make it herself, for you.

- Wasn't that nice?

It's very beautiful, si?

Si.

Stunning.

- Are there any more of these perishables?

- This is only dry stuff and spices.

- And did you buy this radio here?

- In London.

I'll have to take this apart. I'll put it back.

Arriving passengers

who have cleared customs...

... place your luggage

on the conveyor belt...

Could I see that?

Open this, please.

Just personal items.

No need to look in there.

All right.

Remember this bowl?

That little Indian boy made it.

- We have one just like it.

- You do? I love the things he made.

Vino? Where's the vino?

- And cilantro.

- How's it going?

Ambrosia.

- Ambrosia!

- Taste.

Well? What do you think?

Don't be bashful.

- I'm inured to criticism.

- Hot.

Nonsense. Good for you.
