that could happen?

Nothing will happen

to your father, Linda.

- He didn't do anything wrong.

- So you'll totally get off?

There's nothing to "get off" from.

I didn't do anything wrong.

An accident is not a crime.

You saw the old woman

leave the store, Mr. Bangor.

- She was running?

- I guess so. They were stealing.

Yes, but she was running?

That's what I want to establish.

I can't say for sure.

I was in the back of the pharmacy...

That will be all, Mr. Bangor.

You may step down.

Chief Hopley.

Chief, perhaps you can help us.

Was Mr. Halleck traveling

within the legal speed limit?

Yes, sir.

We have witnesses...

and his skid marks confirmed that.

Was he Breathalyzed?

Yes, sir.

Results?

Well, sir, Mr. Halleck was

as sober as a judge, Judge.

Under the circumstances,

I'll let that go.

You are dismissed, Chief.

This court finds no grounds

on which to charge William Halleck...

in the death of Suzanne Lempke,

which is hereby ruled accidental.

This hearing is closed.

[Billy Exhales]

- You drive.

- Mm-hmm.

Sir?

Thinner.

[Heidi]

Get in the car.

[Whistling]

- Did you weigh yourself?

- 283.

No fooling.

That is 14 pounds in seven days.

- Congratulations.

- Yeah, not bad, huh?

You look slimmer.

I haven't seen you stop eating.

- Maybe it's guilt.

- That's stupid.

It hasn't affected my diet

any more than it's affected yours.

[Sighing]

[Sighing]

Ahhh!

- Why did I come out here today?

- For the exercise.

From the looks of you,

it's finally doing some good.

There's nothing like avoiding

a manslaughter charge...

to turn a man's life around.

That's witty, Kirk,

and compassionate too.

- What did he say?

- Foot-in-mouth disease.

That kind of attitude

could cost you court cases...

especially in my court.

You leave me alone, or I'll get Billy

to run you over in that golf cart.

- Kirk.

- What?

Give me a little kiss, sweetheart.

Right here.

Billy, have you lost your mind?

That's surprisingly easy to do

once you've lost a few pounds.

Come on.

Mike, look at this, would you?

- Your psoriasis is coming back.

- Why?

"Why ask why?"

As they say on TV.

Stress probably.

Use that ointment from last time.

- Hey!

- For horses. Better for cows.

I've lost two pounds since this morning?

Is that possible?

Relax. Soon you'll be able to see

your balls without using a mirror.

[Laughter]

Listen, Cary...

I never really thanked you

for taking care of me.

Never told you what happened

right after that, did I?

Leda and I went to lunch.

When we came out,

that old gyp was waiting for me.

- The one with the...

- Yeah, him.

He walked up and touched me,

right here.

Did he say anything?

How the hell should I know?
