Serpico Page #4

- Let me see.

She just pulled down the shade.

- You gotta be some kind of jinx.

- That's right. Blame me.

Hold it, Serpico.

What were you two doing?

- What?

- In the shithouse in the dark!

Were you goin' down on him?

- What are you talking about?

- You gonna tell me you were peeping?

You were sucking his cock,

weren't you?

- What are you, crazy?

- I'll show you f***in' crazy!

Last week I found a pair of shorts

with semen on 'em!

There!

You actually accusing me of this?

Good morning, Captain McCIain.

I'm Officer Serpico.

I was told I could

talk to you, sir.

Certainly, son.

Come in.

Lieutenant Steiger

won't make a report.

He's too concerned with

the image of his department.

But it- it could affect

your future in the BCI.

Sir, I tell you...

Frankly,

I don't see any future there.

It was bullshit about it being

a path toward being detective...

because I've been there

two years now...

And you want a transfer.

Yes, sir, but I don't wanna

go back to uniform.

I'll see what I can do, Frank.

Francis, do you know about my

weekend retreats for Catholic officers?

Well, you read that.

It might be of interest to you.

You are Catholic?

- Yeah. I was baptized, yes.

- Good, good.

Alfie, come on.

I missed you, baby.

She's so crazy, that girl,

I tell you.

Why Paco?

All my friends call me Paco.

Could you do me a favor?

- Get my keys out of this pocket.

- Sure.

Well, what'll I call you...

Frank or Paco?

Sally! Larry!

This is Paco.

- Hey, man.

- Larry's a poet.

But he works for

an advertising agency.

Sally's an actress,

but works for a photographer.

Paco's a policeman.

That's terrific.

I work for the police department.

- That's really nice.

- Wow.

See ya.

- How are you?

- Pat's a novelist.

But you're working for an insurance

company now, aren't you?

- Yes, I am.

- Yeah. Paco's a policeman.

Really? How exciting!

Well, not too.

Right now, I'm filing fingerprints.

Listen,

I file insurance policies.

We should get together then,

file or something.

- That was an improvement.

- I wanna ask you something.

How come all your friends are

on their way to being somebody else?

Think about that. I wanna

ask you something else too.

Will you do me a big favor?

Don't tell anybody I'm a cop.

You know, let me just sort of

do it myself.

Okay.

Hey, man,

are you really a cop?

- Right. I am.

- Wow.

You know,

Leslie is a mind f***er.

You gotta be kidding.

I didn't know that.

What's a mind f***er?

Well, that's a chick...

who digs intellectual types

and super-bright guys.

Oh, yeah?

Well, she's very perceptive.

You know, Japanese culture

and theater and painting...

it's too rigidly stylized.
