- Greg.

- Well, l read that

Greg's knees are blown out.

You know, in ten years, you're gonna be

pushin' him around in a wheelchair.

- A lot of hills in this town.

- You know what l think?

l think you only want me back

'cause you can't have me.

Well, l don't think it matters what you

think. What matters is that l think

we should be together.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen to me.

Can we please go out this weekend?

No way. And talking

of going out.

What about Troy? You told me

you'd take him out over a month ago.

Hey, Veronica, l had a really

rough month, you know. l know

l was supposed to get with him.

He misses you. l tell him you're

coming around and his eyes light

up. And then when you don't--

Now why do you wanna lay all this guilt

on me, huh? Look, Saturday.

We'll get together on Saturday,

me, you and Troy.

We'll go to the park. We'll

have the most beautiful day.

One big happy family.

No, no, no. You and Troy.

We spend enough time together.

Troy needs a man

in his life.

And besides, l'm seeing

Greg on Saturday.

What do you mean you're going

out with Greg on Saturday? What--

You-- You're gonna go out

with Greg and l'm supposed

to go out with Troy to the park?

- You know-- You know,

that's a little tacky.

- Tacky?

- Yes, that's tacky.

And it's gonna confuse Troy,

you don't think so?

Look, can l drive you to the

paper so we can talk about this?

Please? Can l drive you?

Huh? Hey!

Hey! Hey! That's my car!

Not any more. Now it belongs

to Silver Hills Financial.

And he was there

the whole time.

- Good work today, Scott.

- Thank you, lnspector.

- lf you had gotten them to me

when l needed them--

- l needed them two days ago.

- How're we doin' for the night?

- Two on the floor.

- You're my hero.

- Dinner's on you.

- You got yourself a deal.

l gotta meet with Solis.

- Okay, go get him.

Later on.

Absolutely. Yes, sir, l agree

with you a hundred percent.

Yeah, he just walked in to my

office. Chief says, ""Good job

this morning. Congratulations.""

- Oh, well tell him

to give me a raise then.

- He said, ""Thank you very much, Chief.""

- That's not what l said.

- Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, l'll discuss it

with him right now.

Got ya. Goodbye, Chief.

- Roper.

- What?

lt has been decided that you will take

on a new partner and train him to be

able to take over for you.

ls that why you got this guy

in the Sunday school outfit

sitting out here in the lobby ?

- His name is kevin McCall.

- Oh, Captain.

Every metro captain agrees

he's their best sharpshooter

and the most likely to succeed.

This is bullshit, Captain.

He tested high on his intellectual

aptitude, didn't he?

- Not as high as me, but pretty high.
