# I came by this morning #
# Your friend said you'd moved on #
# Only leaves a need in me #
# When your heart runs out of time #
# When you're up against the night #
# I can help you stand alone #
# When your heart runs out of time #
# I will never let you go #
# I can help you dream again #
# In a world you'd love to know ##
All right. I'll be right there.
Tell 'em where to put it.
- What do you think?
- I'm ready.
I'd say that's okay. Take it to "B."
Give me some focus, would you?
I need... I need some more light here.
Hold it there!
- You got it all wrong.
- Get out of here.
Let's have some more fizz here.
Come on. Come on.
- Come on, guys. Get-Get...
- Hold... That's it.
Don't tell me. Nothing's right.
What can I do?
Okay, that's great. That's perfect.
It's thick. All of them are...
A minute, 28. I know. What about, uh...
...and there at the plate... He steals home!
We got this. Try for a reverse.
She there yet?
- I can't see.
- Can't see nothin'?
- Just the stars.
- Screw the stars.
I like the stars.
You look at the stars, and you feel like
tomorrow you can do anything...
kiss that girl, walk on the grass.
Stars won't think the worse of you.
Stars won't even notice.
Know what I mean?
Is she there yet,
you philosophical f***in' bastard?
- That's her.
- I can't see a f***in' thing.
If I can't see nothin', how do I know
when to hit the f***in' fan?
- You guys ready?
- Yep.
I was ready last time.
And the time before that!
Ready, ma'am? This is a take.
and make way, please, gentlemen!
Just get it right this time.
I ain't in no hurry.
I hope you go blind.
- Go fan.
- Go.
Jesus! Ow.
Move, by God! Move to me!
It's the breeze from the subway.
Isn't it delicious?
That's a kind of interesting point of view.
Okay. Cut!
What'd you see?
What'd you see? Did you see anything?
I saw the face of God.
Ah.
Uh, you know that according
to the laws of probability...
you drink a little piece of Napoleon's crap.
Maybe even Mussolini's.
But more like Napoleon,
'cause he's been dead longer.
This way. It's for Life magazine!
Hey, watch out for my leg, buddy.
Hey!
Hey. Honey. Honey!
Hey!
Who does she think she is?
- You think that's cute, don't you?
- Yeah.
Boy, what a night!
Oh, would you mind?
For two minutes, I wait eight hours?
Anything for money.
Wherever it is you're taking me...
I don't wanna go.
Now, Attila the Hun,
he's a dead cert, see?
'Cause he's been gone too long.
So don't you see? All of us, we're all part
of that great f***in' alimentary canal.
- Hmm.
- Did you know that?
# You're gone again this morning #
# How long will you #
# Keep running on and on? #
# Can't you see the warning? ##
Professor?
Professor?
Yes.
Professor?
Yes, yes.
- Professor.
- Yes.
Good evening, Professor.
It sure is a dog of a night.
Sorry to bother you so late.
But, uh, I thought that there was
something that had to be said...
and it's gotta be said before the morning.
Yep, it sure is a dog of a night.
Tomorrow's gonna be a dog of a day.
Hey.
Is this the stuff you hump around
with you all the time?
Must be a few years' work right there, huh?
I'm not an educated man myself, Professor,
but I sure would love to know what you know.
I guess I'm just a man
who likes to know things.
Hey, do you know
where there's a five-and-dime?
An all-night store or somethin'.
I need a few things.
Well, I don't know, ma'am.
I was told to take you straight to your des...
- Well, f*** them.
- Destination.
- Well, I was told no stopping.
- Please.
It's important.
Just for me, huh?
Okay.
For me.
You're not on trial here.
You know that.
You know? You're not being accused
of anything.
You know? You are not the accused.
If you feel accused,
that makes me a very unhappy man.
Sit down. Sit down, will ya?
Now, tell me.
Are you feeling accused?
I feel persecuted.
Hmm. Are you now?
Or have I ever been?
Cheer up, will you, Professor?
That's not an accusation.
Do you understand? It's just an inquiry.
You want a drink?
But, uh, off the record,
would you tell me what...
What do you think your answer
to a question like that would be?
I mean, it seems to me,
it'd be simple as just a yes or a no.
But you'd be surprised how many citizens
find it hard to just even say those two words...
and they've turned these hearings
into one royal pain in the butt!
You know how many times
one guy cited the Fifth Amendment?
Guess.
You'II never get it. Seventy-nine times.
He got awfully tired.
Look, all I'm asking you
is for a simple answer to a simple question...
so that we can all get home
for the long weekend.
Professor, I haven't seen my sweet wife
in over a month.
The last time I bought tickets,
I... I had to cancel.
We had two extra sessions to try that
jumped-up n*gger Robeson for contempt.
Ah.
And I missed the damn plane.
Professor, let me make this
perfectly clear, you know?
Now, military men and politicians...
they'll wallow around in the mud,
and they come up smelling roses.
But not you. Nah, no. Not you.
You... You're in a special category.
You know, a different type.
You know what? The movie star type.
The kind that mud sticks to.
You help us, and I'll help you
come out nice and clean.
