Man of the House Page #3

---

Wee. Look at this bad boy.

He is yummy!

He's kind of a cross between

the Unabomber and Mark Wahlberg.

I now know the hottie rating

of every ex-convict...

in the western United States.

Been up all night,

haven't learned a goddamn thing.

Please tell me this sweet thing

is out on parole.

Look at him. He's fine.

Girl, good.

Oh, my God, you guys,

I think this guy is in my poli- sci class.

They all said they could ID that feller

if they saw him again.

That's a two-way mirror, girl.

People are watching you.

I know.

What do you think?

I don't know what to think.

I feel really...

old.

Excuse me, Captain.

The Governor's office just called.

Good.

Thanks for coming, fellas.

I'm getting phone calls from some daddies

that are worried about their daughters.

They have good reason to be concerned, sir.

If Cortland finds out there are witnesses,

he'll come after them sure as hell.

Gentlemen, I told those guys we'd take care

of their daughters. Stay with them.

- Yes, sir.

- Good luck, Roland.

Is the taller blond Anne or Barb?

I can't remember their names.

- HE-BAT.

- "He" what?

HE-BAT. It's a mnemonic device, son.

Heather, Evie, Barbara, Anne, Teresa.

HE-BAT.

This is a plainclothes operation.

Take your hat off. Conceal your badge.

Try to look normal.

Yes, sir. And I just want to say thank you

for taking me along on this one, sir.

That's the third time today

you've thanked me...

and I can honestly say at this point

I feel the full brunt of your gratitude.

Thank you again, sir.

Get in the damn van.

You, move over.

You think you could turn some music on

or something?

- Turn the motor off.

- Problem, sir?

We don't have a secure cabin.

This vehicle will not move

until all these ladies buckle up.

You're kidding, right?

One thing you'll learn about me is

I do not kid, or jest, or joke, or jape...

or quip.

Looks like we're waiting on you, Teresa.

I saw that.

I saw that, too.

I see everything.

Mr. Cortland, do you expect

any further charges to be filed against you?

Mr. Cortland,

how do you feel about the verdict?

After failing to produce any evidence...

the government has dropped all charges

against John W. Cortland.

Needless to say,

my client is pleased with this outcome.

What about the murder

of a key government witness last night?

If you'll excuse us, Mr. Cortland

is anxious to get home to his family.

No further comment.

Are you denying any prior knowledge?

Zane.

It's me. I still don't have the money

Ball stole from me.

And the shooter you brought in

shot a Ranger.

I covered for him. The job got done.

Even shot myself in the arm.

You're a free man.

Yeah, well, here's the thing.
