It's a Hauser.

The safe? Goddamn! Huh.

I thought they was breaking in

for some little sh*t.

That's good. That's good!

He's got to give us a reward!

Garvey? [ Laughs ]

[ Maxine ] Hi, Fernando.

Como esta, Maxine? Mucho caliente.

Oh. [ Clicks Heels ]

I know you two are friends, Weslake,

but I swear I don't understand it.

Maybe you'll get lucky. It

ain't happened so far today.

Well, there's always tomorrow, Papa.

[ Boardwalk ] I'll check you later, Mama.

Papa, Mama. I don't believe it.

Hey, relax, my dance card's already full.

I got to get back into the mainstream.

You already are. You're unemployed.

Ha, ha. Big joke.

Hey, come on, let's have a drink. Fernando.

Your place. I keep forgetting it's Thursday.

[ Laughs ] You're gonna pay

for that, Weslake. [ Gasps ]

[ Maxine Laughs Louder ]

Monday. Senor Weslake, it's been a month.

Catch you Friday, Ferdie. Bye, Turtle.

[ Thunder Rumbling, Door Closes ]

[ Grabs Chips ]

[ Thunder Continues ]

You pervert!

[ TV Chatter ] [ Inhaling, Exhaling ]

[ Thunder Continues ]

[ Inhaling, Exhaling ]

[ Maxine ] Hey, Weslake, guess what?

I'm free Saturday night. Garvey's

standing me up this week.

It's his mother's birthday. I know.

So I thought I might like to play in

the pawn shop with the security guard.

Remember last year, hmm? [ Giggles ]

Does he still have that thing with

the pulleys? Block and tackle? Yeah.

I'm not guarding the place this year.

You're not?

No, it's the age of electronics. What?

He's putting in a burglar alarm system.

[ Applause On TV ]

[ Sighs ] Enough Ping-Pong.

[ Shuts Off TV ]

They have the replay of the

Cleveland game on afterwards.

Oh, really? Hmm.

[ Sets Down Glass ]

"Dear Penthouse:
"

"Being a librarian from Laramie,

Wyoming, may not sound very exciting,"

"but last night something happened that

I just thought I would share with you."

Midnight cowgirl? [ Chuckles ]

"Just before closing there

was a knock at the back door.

It was Jim, a local cowboy and a real hunk."

We can't do that one.

We don't have a saddle.

Look in the closet. [ Crowd Cheering On TV ]

You're outrageous.

Well, if you don't want to, I

could always try it with Garvey.

You got to be kidding. You'd

need paramedics standing by.

Oh, yeah? You'd be surprised.

He may be a little short of breath, but

at least he doesn't watch Ping-Pong.

Go on. "Jim, a local

cowboy and a real hunk."

[ Cheering Continues ]

"I should have said no to him. I was

breaking all the library rules.

"But he just laughed, locked the door...

and pushed me into the Rare Book Room."

[ Cheering Continues ]

[ Thunder Rumbling, Crickets Chirping ]
