Drop it.

It smells good.

Who was that, anyway?

Pablo.

The cops rousted him.

I guess they're giving him | a hard time because of you.

We got to go for | a little ride, honey.

What?

What about breakfast?

It was gonna be a surprise.

I was gonna bring it | in to you on a tray.

And then l...

Make it to go.

Not too tired | for some fun?

Call it a night, sister.

Aye, aye, sir.

I got something that | I gotta tell you.

I used to be in prison.

What did you do | to get there?

I used to rob people | who robbed people.

Kind of like Robin Hood?

Except I didn't | give the money...

to the poor people.

You don't do that | anymore, do you?

I got investments now.

Good. You got me | out of the life.

Now you stay out of crime.

Sounds good.

Promise?

Yeah, sure. | Why not?

Say you promise.

I promise.

Henderson?

Sanchez. Homicide.

Oh, my replacement.

How is he?

He's got a cervical | disc injury...

a dislocated jaw, bruises...

uh, got a concussion... | I don't know how bad it is.

Somebody really | worked him over.

Did he tell you | who did it?

What happened?

No. He's in and out | of consciousness.

Drop the knife, Pablo.

My name isn't Gotlieb.

Sergeant Hoke Moseley, | homicide.

That little girl | you sent up to my room?

She's 15 years old, man.

She's 23, man. | She's not 15.

Look. Sergeant Lackley | checked her I.D.

Why don't you call him? | I pay him every week.

Maybe you two guys | can get together.

How much you pay | Lackley every week?

$500 a week. Don't.

All right, from now on, | Lackley gets 250.

The other 250 to me...

at the Primrose Hotel. | You got it, man?

Lackley's not gonna go | for any split like that.

You tell the guy | at the desk...

to leave it for me | in the safe.

Hi. What can I get for you?

Uh...iced coffee.

Hey! What are you doing?

Open!

Open the goddamn | drawer now! Do it!

Stop or I'll shoot!

You just shot me.

I fired a warning shot | and it hit you.

You're no cop.

No problem.

There is no problem.

Police. Homicide.

You people go about | your business.

You finish your lunches, | your breakfasts, whatever.

Don't worry, lady.

I'm gonna call | an ambulance now...

on the radio | in my police car.

Yeah. I'll be right back.

Slow down.

Go ahead.

Stop right here!

Furnished?

Yeah, with almost antiques.

How much?

I been worried sick!

Where you been all day?

Dumb question.

Did you get the money?

I cashed in | the $10,000 CD...

but I decided to keep | the N.O.W. account open...

for 8 more days.

What did I tell you?

Huh?

They said if I keep it | open for 8 more days...

I'll be eligible | for a teapot.

I'm sorry.

It's just 8 more days.

You'll still be here, | won't you?
