I'll get right back to you.

Can't we just return some of these

things? What about the lingerie?

- I ate it.

- Be serious for one minute.

I quit.

I'm not unreasonable about

legitimate expenses. I quit, Frank.

Yeah. On the sewer story, I'm gonna

advance you for the hip boots and wet suit.

Frank, I'm really quitting.

Fletch, look, I got a little

A-frame up at Arrowhead.

Why don't you go there, take

a couple of weeks, relax?

I'm really gonna miss you.

Maybe that's an overstatement.

Treat this as good news. You can

always write my Jane Doe column.

You're not gonna quit,

and I'll tell you why.

Why? You have journalistic integrity.

Yeah. And you have a sense of loyalty.

And you'll never give up the

quest for truth, will you?

You're right. I can't abandon the principles

that nurtured me lo these many years.

Wrap them up with the sh*t on my desk and

have them shipped to my mansion in Louisiana.

Bye.

What happened?

And my husband said I was crazy to

go 2,000 miles to have my nose done.

That's an interesting watch.

Is it a prize of some sort?

No. It certainly looks like one.

It's a championship

Laker watch.

Oh! Are you a Laker?

I used to date one. Only thing

I have to remember him by.

Lord, what was that?

We just clipped a Piper Cub. The

pilot's okay. I just saw him parachuting.

I love a man

with a sense of humor.

What did you say

your name was?

Nostradamus.

I'm Cindy Mae Sample.

Nostradamus.

I love the Fightin' Irish.

Lord, I hate to fly. I wish I was

gettin' off in Thibodaux like you.

It's two more stops to Selma. All

those ups and downs and ups and downs.

You should try

holding your breath.

Sometimes that works.

Belle Isle.

Thank you, Betty Lee.

Look, Colonel, the folks

have come to serenade you.

They love you so much.

I love them too.

Give me that, boy!

Thank you, sir.

Quiet down.

- Uncle Frank?

- Yes, sir?

- You know my favorite tune.

- Sure do, Colonel.

Would you mind if I sat

in your lap, Colonel?

Please do, Betty Lee.

Please do.

The field hands would like to

dance for you. Dance for me?

Why, I'll dance for them!
