HELLO.

HI...MOM, I--

I'M RUNNING LATE AGAIN.

HOW ARE YOU?

YEAH, RIGHT. IT'S BEEN A REAL

LONG TIME SINCE WE TALKED.

I DID.

I DID MEET A GIRL.

NO, I DON'T THINK

YOU'RE GOING TO MEET HER.

BECAUSE SHE WAS SHOT.

NO, NOT-- NOT WITH

CAMERAS, WITH BULLETS.

MOM, I--I GOT TO GO.

I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

O.K...I WAS REALLY DRUNK.

THAT'S NOT HOW

YOU THROW THE BALL.

PATHETIC. WHAT'S

WRONG WITH YOU?

TALK ABOUT PATHETIC.

[TIRES SCREECH]

HO! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!

DIDN'T I TELL YOU

TO BE MORE CAREFUL?

UP YOURS, MY MAN.

ALL RIGHT! NOW WE'RE

GETTING SOMEWHERE!

DESK YESTERDAY BEFORE I LEFT.

I'M DOING YOU A FAVOR KEEPING

YOU ON WITH YOUR WORK PERFORMANCE.

SO FINISH:

THE PERSONNEL REPORTS,

COMPLETE THE MONTHLY

BILLING,

AND CLEAN UP THE DESK

BY QUITTING TIME.

I DID THIS WORK.

I CAN SEE THAT.

IF YOU WANTED TO BE ON TIME, YOU WOULD.

THERE WAS:

A CAR ACCIDENT...AGAIN.

I DON'T WAN TO FIGHT WITH YOU

OR BE YOUR FRIEND,

EITHER.

SO LET'S JUS DO THE WORK.

I'D HATE

TO KICK YOU OUT.

YOU'RE ONE

OF THE CUTE ONES.

OW...

DID YOU SEE THAT?

SHE CAME IN HERE JUS LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

SHE HAD SEX ONCE IN 1983,

BUT SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT.

HERE'S THE UPDATE ON

THE NEW FILING SYSTEM.

YOU THINK I'M

A CRETINOUS MORON

WHO'D FALL FOR

THE SAME TRICK TWICE?

[ZAP]

TRICK?

THE SHOCKING DISK TRICK.

YOU GOT ME YESTERDAY.

HOW COME LISA FREDERICKS'

MURDER WASN'T ON TV,

WASN'T IN THE NEWSPAPERS, NOTHING?

LISA'S MURDER?

HOWARD, STAY WITH ME,

PLEASE.

YOU WERE STANDING

RIGHT NEXT TO ME

WHEN SHE WAS SHOT,

RIGHT?

WE TALKED TO THE POLICE

TOGETHER.

WE WENT DRINKING

LAST NIGHT.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REMIND

ME I'M QUITTING TODAY.

I TRIED TO PICK UP THE

BLONDE, SHE BLEW ME OFF,

I WATCHED BATMAN AT HOME,

CALLED THE POWER LINE...

THE BLONDE WAS TWO NIGHTS

AGO. YOU SAID YOU SCORED.

DETECTIVE KRYLES?

YOU QUESTIONED ME LAST NIGH ABOUT LISA FREDERICKS' MURDER?
