(DOG BARKING)
(DOOR CLOSING)
- LOUIE:
Evening, Lieutenant.- Louie.
- LOUIE:
Coffee?- Yeah.
Forget it, Lieutenant.
The free refills were killing me anyway.
Mike Murphy been in yet?
- Who?
- Murphy. Michael.
Uh, I don't know him, pal.
That's funny.
I hear he eats here every night.
LOUIE:
Murray, you say?Murphy, brick brain.
Your ears need unplugging?
- So?
- No, he ain't been in yet.
(CLATTERING)
I'll wait.
(HONKS)
(FABRIC RIPS)
MIKE:
Damn. Damn.Hello, Louie.
Got an emergency.
They need your meat loaf
down at the river.
The levee's got a hole in it,
and meat loaf's the only thing
that can stop it up for a year.
(LAUGHING)
Hey.
Somebody left the cage door open, huh?
It's out.
What's the occasion?
Archie, how you doing?
(DOOR OPENS)
- Not too bad. And you?
- LOUIE:
Not too bad.Good.
- How's the stew?
- LOUIE:
Not too good.That's too bad.
I was really counting on the stew.
I had my mouth kind of set on it,
you know. I'll try The Ritz.
Maybe not.
- This here is Archie.
- Really? Ain't that peculiar?
- What?
- See, Archie,
we're looking for a gumshoe
named Mike Murphy.
Guy about your size
with a mustache like you.
Even drives a Model A Roadster like you,
with the same license plate, too.
Now, ain't that peculiar?
Yeah, that's peculiar.
(GROANING)
They're a couple of cupcakes.
I guess this wouldn't work again.
(GRUNTING)
Oh, Speer.
Lieutenant, aren't you gonna do anything?
How about a refill?
He can take care of himself.
I'm not disturbing you, am I?
I got a situation here.
I know we're not really close
anymore, but let by...
(GLASS SHATTERS)
Mmm-mmm.
- You back?
- (CHOKING) F***, yes, I'm back.
You know why I'm back?
Because I'm being killed.
What are you gawking at?
Ow.
(COIN CLINKING)
- You waiting for them to kill me?
- They competitors?
Or did you just have your nose
in the wrong ass?
- There's plenty left for you, you know.
- Say when.
Mike, please. There's not much left.
Anytime, Speer.
Until then, you watch your step.
You hear me?
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about rumors of a cheap,
frayed-collar, hole-in-the-shoe peeper
with the wrong kind of snot balls.
Of course, that wouldn't be you.
You're too much of a fancy Dan.
So?
- I'll be watching.
- I'm shaking.
So long, shorty.
You pathetic son of a b*tch!
He's so pathetic.
I turned in my badge, you know.
I got my own... I got my own office now!
I got my name in gold!
You're just jealous!
You're so insecure, it's unbelievable!
Is this frayed?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
DEHL:
How you doing, boss?- Fine, fine, doing fine.
- All righty.
- Keep the change.
- Thanks a million. Much obliged.
The finance company just called.
Those mugs last night were after your car.
- Repo guys?
- Uh-huh.
Seems they don't enjoy their work
as much as they used to.
You owe $98.98, Mike.
It's the cash or the keys.
(DOOR OPENS)
- Mahoney.
- Who?
The landlord.
Do I have to do everything myself?
I told you to send that check
in weeks ago.
Oh, my gosh!
You know what I can't stand?
It's irresponsibility.
- I know. I'm so...
- DEHL:
Still singing that song, Murphy?Ain't never worked.
You remember my silent
and invisible partner, Mr. Swift.
We thought you were Mahoney,
president of
the Landlord's Malevolent Association.
- Behind in our rent again.
- The word is "still."
Well, tell Mr. Mahoney
to fix the plumbing,
or we're gonna move
