He's well-connected. He's going to

get out in ten years... in five years.

In ninety days. You're gonna be looking

over your shoulder the rest of your life.

What am I supposed to do?

I saw

one of my oldest friends get killed.

And I saw who did it.

I can't just let that go away.

I like 'em toasty.

Good night, Mr Keegan.

You're here till what time?

I'm relieved at 4 am.

Would you do me a favour?

I have to go out of town for a few days.

Let's do everything we can to make sure

that this is all less of a trial for her.

A**hole.

Try it again now.

All right!

Hey, Ellie!

What the hell are you doing with my car?

Adjusting the carburettor.

I saw it on... All right.

Tommy, get out of the car.

I saw it on TV. What do you think?

- Television can be a dangerous thing.

- Hey, twenty bucks in the bank.

Tommy, get the hell out of there!

I read this article...

You didn't tell me she was so beautiful.

- She's better looking than that.

- Oh, yeah?

I gotta go.

Tommy, come here.

- What do you think? Okay?

- Unbelievably handsome in a suit.

- You look great.

- Nice clothes, Dad.

I think so, too.

Boston one, New York one...

Rangers have the puck...

And the New York fans...

Hi.

I'm not sure how this works. I have to

go to a reception a few blocks away.

I don't think

that'd be such a great idea.

Lieutenant Garber said

that there was no real danger.

- Is that true?

- Right... that's true.

Can we go then?

- I'd have to call it in...

- There's a phone in the car.

- Hi, Claire.

- Hi.

Do you have another tie?

Something a little more conservative?

I don't have it with me. It's at home.

She's ready. Go ahead, hop in.

What? Jesus Christ,

what a f***ing lunatic! Shopping?!

I don't see that we have much choice.

Tell her, she's a f***ing lunatic.

What did he say?

He thinks you're being a little careless.

He made the point several times.

- You live in Manhattan?

- Queens.

- You know Queens?

- My father founded a school there.

The Milton Gregory. I'm supposed

to speak at their 25th anniversary.

Nice... Maybe you could

stop by my place, have an aperitif.

Maybe not...

- You cannot park here!

- We won't be here a minute.

- Miss Gregory.

- Hi there.

- Would you pick one out?

- Beg your pardon?

If you're going to be my escort,

you need a new tie.

- Perfect.

- I'll take it.

- I... I'll get it.

- No, no, my account.

If we had more time

I'd work on the suit, too.

- You look rather elegant.

- My wife likes this suit.

- Jesus Christ, Keegan!

- I'm on duty.

What kind? Gigolo?

Follow me.

- Claire.

- Oh, Toni.

I wouldn't have missed it.

This is Michael Keegan, the policeman

they've assigned to protect me.
