Gator Page #4

---

But I'm only the manager here.

The people in Detroit own the club.

And they have to have authorization

for anything they pay out.

You know what?

This damn place is a firetrap.

I called them and said you said that.

Are you telling me that your

associates up in Detroit...

are all that inconsiderate?

Is that what you're telling me?

That's a shame!

I could call them back.

I could call them back right now!

We better be getting on over

to the Southside Shuffle.

Can't you see I'm eating my supper?

Look at this. I'm riding with a nut named

Gator, looking for a putz named Bama!

Don't you people have regular names?

You mean intelligent names,

like you've got in New York City?

Like "Yogi"?

I know. Cute.

Do you have to drive so fast?

I don't get a chance

like this very often.

A cop stops me,

I just flash him my badge.

What badge?

Your badge.

- We're undercover men, goddamn it!

- Oh, sh*t! Undercover.

You, undercover in Dunston.

You're gonna stick out in Dunston,

like a bagel in a bucket of grits.

- Mighty pretty city.

- Is that Dunston?

No, it's Newark.

- I think I'm losing control.

- Why?

I'm beginning to think you're funny.

Yours is a little lumpy,

but mine doesn't look too bad.

Yours doesn't look too bad?

That's pretty funny.

Almost as funny as Newark.

Pretty lumpy? I'd have to be crazy.

On the other hand, I don't know.

What's going on?

- This is where you're staying.

- Why?

You're undercover, aren't you?

Nobody'd look for you in

a crappy place like this.

Where are you gonna stay?

You didn't expect me to

stay in a dump like this?

Come on!

Hey, folks, here comes the

Dunston High School band.

We won, didn't we, folks?

Chief Billy Joe Williams and

the police department...

made out a donation for the campaign.

Now, folks, you like what we got

going in Dunston, don't you?

Do you folks...

Do you know the difference between

Uncle Sam, a rooster and an old maid?

Uncle Sam says, "Yankee-doodle-do,"

the rooster says, "Cock-a-doodle-do"...

and an old maid says,

"Any-old-dude'll-do."

When that TV camera starts showing us,

I want you all to show your best...

'cause you got the best.

And we're gonna have the best

city south of Baltimore!

Who in the hell gives a damn

what's north of Baltimore?

Hey, you tyke there,

come down here, sweetie!

Miss Cavanaugh, you're welcome to stay,

as long as you don't make a disturbance.

We can't have you interfering

with the festivities...

with all your yelling

and your screaming.

Now I'm gonna have to

escort you out of the park.

Patrick McGinnin, I have known you

since you were 11 years old...

and you were a sweet young man...
