why Judge Acosta of the New York State

Supreme Court's been kept waiting,

I gotta give 'em a name.

- Yeah. Now, just a minute...

- Do I get the name

or do I have to have Lieutenant

McElroy come and get it for me?

Just a second!

Everybody tells me

somethin' different.

Rudy!

Take him in to see Ringerman.

You'll call the doc, huh?

Call the doc.

Well, looky, looky, looky!

And they say the West

ain't wild any more!

Hey, if it ain't Hoot Gibson!

Give me a home

where the buffalo roam

And the deer and

the antelope play

Well, well, looky here.

Coogan.

Hey, Linny, say hello to the

fuzz that busted me in Arizona.

Yeah. Man-burger.

Did you come to take

me back, cowboy? Huh?

This cat's got wild vibes.

Hey, man, she's pickin' up

on your vibrations.

You wanna know the thing about me?

I got this little

green worm in my head.

And it glows in the dark.

That's the thing about me.

- I'm Coogan.

- Yes, Rollins told me.

Apparently there's been a mix-up.

- Can he travel?

- How soon were you planning to leave?

I was trying to make a helicopter

in 45 minutes at Pan Am.

- I'd hate to miss that connection.

- Yes, I understand, but...

there's always danger of residual

psychotic reaction to LSD.

He can be trouble.

So can I.

- You travelling alone?

- Just one of him and one of me.

All right, I'll release him.

Put your clothes on, Ringerman.

You're going on another trip.

Give Pushie my regards, huh?

OK?

- OK.

- Yeah.

Does more for me

than a kilo of grass, huh?

Put your pants on, boy.

Will all passengers kindly

proceed to the boarding area. Thank you.

Call for passenger Coogan

on housephone 1G.

- Where are the housephones?

- Back there, sir.

- Coogan here.

- Wrong number.

- Yeah, crazy baby.

- Kill him, Jimmy. Kill him, Jimmy.

Not here! Let's blow!

Green pants, hm?

Green corduroy.

Had a red sweater.

He had a face?

I told you, he was behind me.

Beautiful.

Look, I was on my back

and that's all I saw.

All right. From the top,

let's start again.

From where you bluffed your way

into Ringerman's hospital room.

I haven't left anything out.

- Thing is, I don't know that for sure.

- I told you.

Come back in the morning.

The patient's in need of rest.

- Just a couple more minutes, Doctor.

- All right.

Look, yesterday we had

a prisoner in custody.

Today we've got a fugitive wandering

around with your gun in his pocket.

- Think about it.

- I have been.

We need your cooperation.

What you remember on the plane home

won't help us get Ringerman right now.

I'm not leaving

without that prisoner.

Didn't that whack on the head

teach you anything?

You're in a whole... another kind of
