You know, they keep you sane.

Like you.

Sure, like me. I got a family, a house.

A nice little workshop here.

I make all the payments.

And what do you do?

You run around the street like a kid.

I'm grown up now.

What, I'm supposed to go

and do that with you?

Oh, no. Sheesh.

Ohh.

What do you want me to do?

Just a shirt, that's all I'm wearing

Oh, she sounds terrific.

She must look good.

Did you see her? No, you didn't see her.

I bet she looks terrific. Ohh, God.

My nipples are hard

Oh. Hard nipples. Ohh.

What color is the shirt?

What the hell difference

does it make what color...

Shh! God damn it.

Green

This is good stuff.

Oh, God, she's driving me crazy.

I'm spreading it open

Spreading what open?

Would you touch yourself?

Of course Where?

Ohh.

Oh, you dumb son of a b*tch.

Ohh. Oh, oh.

You got anything else?

I got it. That's the wrong tape.

Uh, Shark, this is it.

Listen to the voice on this.

Ok, yeah. I love that girl's voice.

Darling Sugar

Wait a minute.

Listen to the guy's voice.

I'm listening That's the girl's voice

All right, here it comes.

It's gonna look great on that body of yours

Anybody?

Just 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 tits

This is boring sh*t.

God, I love that body

I don't recognize that voice

After the election, it'll

be a different world for us

Hotchkins!

Da dum

Goddamn Hotchkins!

F***ing candidate for governor Hotchkins.

He's got a wife and 5 kids,

and we got him by the jewels, huh?

We got headlines. That's all we got.

Right. Another politician screwing around.

They see that on television

every afternoon.

I mean, not that I watch that sh*t.

7 ladies.

One's got her hooks into Hotchkins,

and that's the one the

Department won't let us touch.

Doesn't that tell you anything, Friscoe?

Aw, come on, Sharky.

Jesus, you got wires into the Department?

Come on, Sharky.

Maybe it's Hotchkins.

Huh?

Hotchkins.

Well?

What do you want now?

I want to watch her round the clock.

Who?

What's her name, Nosh?

Uh, Dominoe, with an E.

Dominoe.

Do you know how many man

- hours that would take?

Just me. 24 hours.

You.

You?

You!

You see, that's the trouble!

Who else gives a damn?!

Who else gives a... aw...

Who else gives a damn?!

You see, we got a one-man show here

We gotta follow his routine.

Huh? Change our routines.

You know, dance to your tune.

If I take this through the Department...

No. You do that, and you blow it.

- What?

- We blow it.

We don't wanna blow it.

We?

This is our case, Friscoe.

Oh, no. No, no. It's not my case.

Don't give it to anybody else, Friscoe.

So who wires the place?

He does.
