A banker? You know, a cop?

I was fed up.

I had to find out.

So I told her I was working

late one night, real late.

And I hid across the street in an

alley behind some garbage cans.

She walked down the street

a couple of blocks

and went into a building,

you know brown stone.

I went up and I checked out the buzzers

and there were 4 names up there

and I didn't recognize none of them.

So I tried the door and it was locked.

Tried to force it,

but it wouldn't give.

I tried the side door,

the one that they bring

the garbage out in.

It was open. I went in the back.

Dark window.

I looked in and there's candlelight

and I saw her with her arms

around another woman.

When I got back to our place,

I went to the bathroom,

brushed my teeth, and washed my face.

Then I went into the bedroom

and changed my shirt.

Then I went out into the kitchen

and I strangled her cat.

What is this, some kind of joke?

Thana, are you there?

This place is turning upside down!

Phil, what do you got there?

It's locked.

You wait here

and I'm gonna go get the key,

and I'll be right back.

Phil, look what you've done!

You naughty dog!

Phil, now she'll know

that we were here.

Now ladies,

I want to make a little announcement.

I know all of us have been

working very hard this week.

What's so funny about that?

And you're looking forward

to the party this evening.

So, courtesy of Harold

I'm giving you the afternoon off.

So there are two eggs

and they are boiling in a pot,

and one egg says to the other,

"How do they expect us

to get hard in 3 minutes?

after we just got laid!''

Oh, but you haven't walked him

in such a long time.

Well..

Hey lady, what are you

trying to do with that dog?

Not a hell of a lot, but did

you see the couple of the evening?

It's the Count.

Hello, Bobby.

And Sister?

Thana.

A charming name, is that Greek?

It's Greek to you, Bob.

Tommy, you gotta go to Puerto Rico.

The spanish girls, bam.

300 dollars, you can get a virgin.

They got this sh*t coming

in from the other islands.

What the hell is 300 dollars?

But, you promised after we had Laurie,

that you'd get a vasectomy.

I changed my mind.

Hi Albert!

How are my little brownies?

My little workers,

How are you doing?

You've been drinking.

Un Poquito.

Excuse me,

you hair will turn to silver.

Albert! How are you?

You know Miss Benson.

Of course.

Sure.

Albert, who's that girl

you are with tonight?

She's one of my proteges.

It's unfair! It's goddamn unfair!

You shut up!

We are not gonna have

this discussion here.

These are business associates of mine.

Thana, is that you, Thana?

But, Ms. LaSoney,

I didn't mean to scare you?

You almost gave me a heart attack,
