- You heard that? | - No. No.

So, what are you two up to?

Bill was just teaching me | a little stunt driving, that's all.

Is that true?

Sure, why not?

She likes to imagine that I lie a lot.

Makes me sound more exciting.

You're exciting enough.

These college girls, they're so boring.

- Where do you go to school? | - Chicago.

She's staying with her so-called parents, | who are on vacation.

Only they're not here...

as usual.

Didn't they know you were coming home?

They're off in France or Libya | or some other foreign paradise.

Ann has all 5,000 rooms to herself.

She likes to be alone.

Is that true?

Not always.

Maybe you should take that as an invitation.

Maybe it is.

They must have laughed | after they almost caught me...

'cause I just walked through a store, | out the back, into the car, gone.

I couldn't believe I did it.

You're really hating this.

You told me to get close to him.

Look, just don't go native on me, all right?

- What's that supposed to mean? | - You know exactly what it means.

You want results, right?

What I want is something that | I can take into court.

What I don't want is some | smart-ass lawyer getting a cop killer off...

because somebody crossed a line. | You got it?

What about the sister?

She wouldn't date the help.

At least she's got some common sense.

Hi.

You been standing there long?

Just came around.

The gate was open | and nobody answered when I rang.

I guess I don't hear anything back here.

Would you like the grand tour?

And last but not least...

this is the tennis court.

This is a basketball court.

It depends on how you look at it.

Let me guess, Ted's into basketball | and you play tennis?

Wrong.

Introducing Number 32 for Sacred Heart...

Varrick!

Sacred Hearts in trouble this year. | Do you want to play Horse?

I want to play Duck.

- How do you play Duck? | - Duck!

- Let's play one-on-one. | - Is it easier than Horse?

Sure, you just take the ball and you try | and score. It's like basketball.

Your game. You go first.

Okay.

Is that the phone?

- That's completely unfair. | - Whatever it takes.

Is that as close as you're gonna get?

Your brother teach you this?

I taught him.

- Are you okay? | - That's okay, no blood, no foul.

So humor me.

Foul on Number 32, Varrick. Cmon.

I figured you for a heartbreaker. | I didn't know my nose was in jeopardy.

You'll be fine.

- How long do I have to keep doing this? | - Till I tell you to stop.

Here, have a seat.

Put your head back.

How long have you and Ted been friends?

- Since l... | - Put that head back!

- Since I helped him out of a jam. | - Yeah? What kind of a jam?

His car wouldn't start.

That's not much of a jam for Ted.
