On ice, if you..

Will you stop worrying

about the party?

- It'll be here.

- I'm not worried about--

Who are they?

You take care of the house

I take care

of the business, right?

Hmm?

Now what the hell

are you mad at?

- Did you hear that?

- 'Mildred!'

Huh, 200 pounds of cracked crab

from Jorgensen's?

- You know what that's worth?

- What do I care?

What do you care.

Now, this isn't gonna work,

you know.

Well, we'll find a way

to make it work.

[whistles]

Hey, let's go, come on.

Come on.

Come on, uh,

not out the front door.

Out the back, come on.

I don't want nobody to see me

with you katzenjammer cops.

Indecent exposure..

Maybe it's a compliment.

- What are you doing?

- Just checking.

What are you, what are you,

what are you, hey!

[instrumental music]

(Freebie)

'24 hours,

that's all I'm asking.'

24 hours, what's the big deal.

To drunk-tank Red Meyers?

So?

Look, you..

You are suckin'

for a very big bruise.

Now, that you guys have already

dug yourself in so deep

in this pit you've made

there's no way

that I can dig you out

without, uh, burying you deeper.

- You know what I mean?

- No idea.

You know

what he's talking about?

I don't know what

he's talking about.

[telephone rings]

Yeah.

Yeah, they're here.

Right away.

There's this uh, man

in the fancy office

right across the hall

who would like the pleasure

of your company.

You can't miss him.

He's wearing a black suit

and a red face.

[indistinct chattering]

Hey! Prick.

- Tuck your shirt in.

- Tuck my shirt in?

Screw him.

Hey, here, how's this?

- Tuck your shirt in.

- Kiss my ass.

[phone ringing]

How in the world did you guys

stay alive till now?

They should've destroyed you

when you were rookies.

How do you get up

in the morning?

Tell me..

...what was going

through your mind?

Indecent exposure?

Red Meyers?

Are you insane?

Do you know how many

phone calls I had

in the last 1 5 minutes?

I'm not talking about lawyers.

I'm talking

about the guys on our side.

You wanna hear the list?

You want me to start

with the lieutenant governor

and work down,

or do you want me to start

with the councilmen and work up?

- Sir, can I--

- No, you can say nothing!

I don't know

what to do with you guys.

'Let me see your gun

and your badge.'

- Wanna see mine, too, sir?

- No, don't, don't touch it.

I don't want you to touch

anything in my office.

Intelligence squad?

'You're not fit to guard'

the fish at the aquarium.

Sir, Can I..

Can I say one..

- Could he say something?

- May I say one thing, sir?

- Uh, we..

- Sir, we..

If we had, if,

no, if you had

with our help,

an airtight case--

Airtight case,

an indictment in a grand jury
