Body Heat Page #3

---

- Yes, sir.

Give me a break here.

It takes a little while.

It's your own fault.

I never wanted it like this before.

It throws everything else out of whack.

It takes me a good 30 seconds.

Are you sure?

I just want to be sure.

What are you doing?

I have to wash these.

Afraid of your maid?

That's right.

My mother told me,

"Knowledge is power."

This is an interesting interpretation.

Isn't that why you've started

smoking my brand?

No one must know, Ned.

Promise me. No one.

Take it easy, all right?

You look terrible. Don't you sleep?

I had a dream last night so boring it woke

me up. I was afraid to go back to sleep.

- Where the hell have you been?

- I've been around.

I've barely seen you for a month.

Wait a minute, some new quiff, isn't it?

What's wrong with me?

You've never been shy about this before.

- Oscar.

- Weren't at the Y last week. We lost.

He's getting discreet.

I can't believe it.

What you got in pie today, Stella?

There's cherry, cherry and cherry.

- What do you recommend?

- I like the cherry.

Bring it on.

And a gigantic Coca-Cola.

I'm really disappointed in you. I've been

living vicariously off of you for years.

- If you shut up now, I only have my wife.

- Nothing to tell, I lead a lonely life.

- Right, and it'll snow later on today.

- And people are basically decent.

Probably somebody I know,

somebody in uniform.

- Come on.

- No army personnel around. Waitress?

Could it be?

Oh, I know, I know.

You finally got to Glenda. How was it?

Did she let you into the no parking zone?

I happen to know Glenda

is seriously involved...

...with a narc from Palm Beach.

- There you are.

- From Palm Beach, what is that, his hobby?

- How's the cop business?

Real good. Always starts hopping

in weather like this.

- When it's hot, people try to kill each other.

- That's right.

I know some people who'll be dead

if we don't get a break soon.

We got more of everything bad

since the wave started.

It's that crisis atmosphere.

People dress different, feel different,

they sweat more...

...wake up cranky and never recover.

Look at Lowenstein.

Everything is just a little askew.

Pretty soon people think

the old rules are not in effect...

...start to break them, figuring nobody'll

care because it's emergency time.

Time out.

I can't figure out how you can be doing

advanced theoretical thinking like that...

...and still be stuck in our little town.

- Lowenstein dreams of bigger things.

Assistant county prosecutor

isn't the end of the line.

Someday, deputy county prosecutor.

When the truth comes out about some

of the dirt I've been involved in...

...my future in this state
