" Richard." "Hold it." "Richard." "what's the matter?" " Okay." "What happened?" "I'm not selling these skis to my mother." "Please." "A more neon sound." " Mr Ron." "I can't be waiting at the whim..." " Remember: to be free..." " Of your attorney." " To soar like an eagle." "To slip the surly bonds of Earth." " All right." "Thank you." " Right?" "That's the feel." "Here we go." " The guys are tired." "You know?" "No." "If they start losing..." " Well." "If the guys are tired..." " Their chops..." "All right." " It sounds that way in the ad." "My dear." " All right." "They've never let you down before." "Jimmy." " Cut!" " They've never let you down before." " Uh." "Richard." "Listen." "We talked about this yesterday." "And l-I'm not getting the sound that we." "Uh." "We're looking for." "Look, we're all tired, but, you know, we might as well not be recording this... unless we're gonna get some punch." "Now, maybe..." " My ears are clogged or something, but, uh, it's a..." " Jimmy." "We..." " We agreed on this yesterday." " Say it." "What?" "What?" "Tell me." "We've been playing a long time." "Okay?" "We need a lunch break." "Why don't we just get through one track." "One take... and then give us your notes." "Okay?" " Okay, but, you know, I want..." "Hold it." " We can fix it in the mix." "We can do it in the mix." "But l-l-I want to hear it in the performance too." " How's it going?" " Just." "Just surge." " No." "That's fine." "I'll hold." " I want a..." "Whee!" " Jimmy!" " Wha..." "Richard." "look." "At the risk..." "It's not the fucking "Leonora Overture." okay?" "It's a jingle." "Just let us get through it once." "Okay?" "And then we'll have lunch and then we'll have notes... and then we'll fix it in the mix." "Okay?" "Mom wants you to come home right now!" "She's waiting for you." " Hi." " Hi." "If she can stand it, I can." "Play it." "Yes, boss." "I think we should apologize to Jimmy Schwartz tomorrow." " Get ready." "Pull." " Sweet." "Pull." "Wish for something expensive." " Mom." " Mom." " Okay." " Goodbye." "Take care of yourself." " All right." "You take care." "Say hi to your mom." " Nice party." "Mrs Parker." " You're welcome." "You're welcome." " Thanks for coming." " Good night." "I guess we have new neighbours." "Eh?" "Hey." "You mind if I run along with you?" "No." "Be my guest." "Richard Parker." "Oh." "Hey." "Eddy Otis." "Where's your beautiful daughter today?" "She's away at school." "She comes home every other weekend." " Uh." "Whereabouts?" " It's a couple of hours from here." "It's a school for musically-gifted children." " Oh." "You must be very proud." " You could say." "Let me guess." "You're in something to do with the arts." "Maybe graphics." "maybe advertising." "No." "Definitely advertising." "I'm a composer." "I write jingles for ads." "How'd you guess?" "I used to sell insurance." "You get a feel for stuff like that." "What do you do?" "I'm not even gonna guess." " I give financial advice." " Oh." "Like what?" " Okay." "Health clubs." " Good." "Huh?" " Lousy." "Trust me." " Oh." "Home security?" " Better?" " Oh." "Much better." "He said they didn't know anyone." "That they were lonely." "What could I say?" " Do you need these?" " Mmm." "And this." "I know how you feel about neighbours." "but it's only drinks." " I don't drink." " Since when?" "I thought I was getting fat." " You didn't notice." " What?" "The getting fat or the not drinking?" "...Jamaica for the weekend scuba diving." "Anyway." "On our way to the airport to come back and move houses... we get caught up in a riot." "I swear to God." "A riot." "It was fascinating." "While I'm so busy protecting my wife..." "I don't notice them stealing all the luggage." "Hence." "The outfit when we arrived." "Everything else was packed." " Have you never been in a riot." "Priscilla?" " Sorry I'm late." "I'm Katherine." "but everybody calls me Kay." "Kay." "This is Richard Parker and his lovely wife Priscilla." "The way I look at life." "The way I look at it is this: money is like blood." "It's no big deal." "but if you want to live... you've gotta have a lot of it pumping through the system." "For example... most people will never know what it's like to drive a boat at 100 miles an hour... or go to Jamaica for the weekend or see the Grand Canyon from a hot air balloon." "You see what I'm saying?" "Without money... you shrivel up." "So how do you explain all those shrivelled-up." "Rich people?" "I'll tell you how." "Because those people... they know how to make money." "But they don't know how to spend it." "Gettin' money's easy." "We have to talk." " What would you invest in?" " Myself?" " Yeah." " Drug and alcohol rehab centres." "I'm serious." "It's the number one investment op of the '90s." "Priscilla." "People are sheep." "You tell them they can't quit on their own and suddenly everybody needs help." "I mean." "The human mind." "What can you say?" "You know what I'd do if I had some serious money?" "Misery" "Come on." "Help me out here." "Don't put no headstone on my grave" "All my life I've been a slave" "And I don't want the world to know" "Here lies the fool who loves you so" "Free from all this" "Misery" "Richard." "Come to bed." "You know." "Me and Kay were saying." "you two have really got it made:" "a nice home." "A nice business." "a beautiful." "Talented daughter... a great marriage." " I'm very lucky." " What's the trick?" " To which?" " Marriage." "How do you hold it all together?" "Trust." "I guess." "Trust." "That's very interesting." "You know." "I'm planning this trip down to South Carolina this weekend." "I'm gonna fly down in my plane." "I got some property to check out." " Why don't you and Priscilla come along?" " You have a plane?" "Just a little twin engine Piper." " Well." "I'm sure we'd love to but..." " Look." "If money's a problem..." " No." "It's not really the money..." " Well." "Good." "Then we'll have fun." " It's jus..." "Uh." "Do you think we ought to..." " Now watch this." "Eddy." "Careful!" "Eddy!" "Well." "Let's say 5.000." "With 5.000." "I'd put one in the bank." "one in bonds and play the stock market with the rest." "The stock market?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Okay." "How come you never pursued a singing career?" "There's a lot worse voices out there." "I guess Eddy got all the self-confidence." "Maybe I could help you." "That way I'd get to play some blues." "And." "Uh..." "You know." "You..." "I would take this wall out." "You know." "Take it out." "Make this whole area screened in." "It would open it up a lot and then put like blue shutters on it or something... to give it a bit of life." "you know?" "It could use it." " What?" " Nothing." "Go ahead." " I'm being my usual self." "Right?" " No." "I like it." "I'm gonna take over." "Oh." "Never mind." "Come on." "I'm surprised Priscilla hasn't tried to sell off some of her investments." "She was up to 15.000 last time I went over it." "Fifteen from five?" "She has a good head on her shoulders." "What can I tell you?" "Squeeze when you come up." "That five was a gift left by an uncle to go towards a sailboat." "Can't touch that." "How much do you owe?" "It's not that much." "Eddy." "Let's not talk about it." "No." "Richard." "I'm serious." "Maybe I can be of some help here." "You can't." "Believe me." "Is there anything we can't talk about?" "Now." "Come on." " You really wanna know?" " Yes." "Current debts." "Credit cards." "bank loans." "About 25.000." "Is that all?" "I can get you that in an afternoon." "How?" "Leave it to me." "Bubbi." "Three to six weeks." "Okay?" " What-What kind of interest are we talking about?" " No kind of interest." "I don't loan money to my friends." "It's a gift." "Our greatest glory." "Dicky boy." "Is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall." "Oh!" "Do you see?" "Now you left yourself open for that one." "You deserved it." "Now." "Come on." "Come on." "That's it." "Come on." "That's right." "Come on." "Come on." "That's it." "That's it." "That's it." "Hit mine." "That's it." "Come on." "Come on." "Keep it in." "Keep it in." "All right." "Now." "Keep it..." "Oh." "My God!" " Oh." "My God." "Eddy." " Call an ambulance." " Oh." "Richard." " Thank you." "Dr Pettering." " Talk to you tomorrow." " You know how to reach us." " Call if you need anything." "I will." "Thanks a lot." "Take care." " Oh." "My God." " Poor guy." "I feel terrible." "He didn't look as bad as I thought." "You know." "But he..." "Didn't he say he was coming to take us out to dinner?" " Now." " Okay." "Everybody." "Five minutes." " Okay." " Priscilla?" " Baby." "I fudged." " Could you come here and help me?" "Sure." "Sure." "What is it?" "l-I'd like to get up." "I've been lying in the same position too long." "Okay." "Okay." "Here." "You grab on to me." " Okay." "Be careful." "Please." " I will." "Dear." "I will." "Now." "On three." "Okay?" " Okay." "Wait." " Ready?" "One." "Two..." " Up we go." " Wait." "Slow." "Go slow." " Are you all right?" "There you go." " Yeah." " There you go!" "Okay." "Richard." " Ow!" "Ow!" " Ow!" "Don't touch me." "Don't." " Richard." "Just give me a little air." "I can't move." "I can't move." "Or can I?" " Oh!" " Ah." "Oh." "That's-that's much better." "Well..." "Well." "What's this?" "Your insurance company." "Neck and back scares the shit out of them." "I'm in the business." "Pal." "It was easy." "I got this pet doctor." "It was nothing." "Oh." "I'm gonna keep five if that's okay with you guys." "Yes." "Priscilla." "It's true." "It-It was a scam." "And I'm..." "I'm terribly." "Terribly sorry." "You broke the law." "Eddy." "For us?" "What are friends for?" "Oh." "I don't think we can accept this." "We appreciate it." " We really do." " I love this woman." ""I don't think we can accept it"?" "It's not that we don't need the money." "Priscilla." "Please." "Don't insult me." "I did this for you." "For you." "Now." "Come on." "I've been wearing that neck brace for weeks." "What do you say?" "I don't know what to say." "But thanks." "Can't sleep?" "No." "You think too much." "What about you?" "Is Priscilla asleep?" "What about Eddy?" "No." "He's at the Watkins'." "You know." "the people that own the cabins." "Probably trying to buy the place." "Always looking for a deal." "How long you been married?" "Thirteen?" "Fourteen years." "Have you been faithful all those years?" "Yeah." "What about you?" "I guess I'm kind of old-fashioned that way." "I guess we both are." "Huh?" " Baby, yeah" " Lori?" " Hi." "Honey." "It's Mom." " I wanna jump in the middle" " Yeah." "We're in a bar." " And wallow around" " And keep on drinkin'till I feel like I'm drowned" " No." "It's very." "Very nice." " Honey." "We decided to stay another night." "All right?" " I want a piece of the party" " So if you need anything..." " And party till I see the light" " Go on." "Go on." " I want a piece of the party" " And party till I see the light" " I'm gonna talk to the guy." "and you're gonna do it." "Give 'em hell." "As I reach out to you" "Like a child would do" "Darling, don't let me down" "I love you so" "And I guess you know" "That I'm too far gone" "To turn around" "You wanna fuck my wife." "don't you?" " If I give you my heart" " Oh." "Don't look so scared." "Richard." "It's no big deal." " Most guys want to fuck my wife." " Please don't telephone" "I've kind of gotten used to the idea." " Don't treat me like dirt on the ground" " As it happens..." "I'm not entirely immune to that kind of thought myself." "Give me a break" " For heaven's sake" " I mean." "Nobody wants to blow their marriage." "God forbid." " But God." " 'Cause I'm too far gone" " For just one night." " To turn around" " Wouldn't that be sweet?" " I'm too far gone" " You are insane." "Eddy." "Fucking insane." " For backing up now" " I'm too far gone" " And so safe." " To stop" " Let me ask you something." " I'm flying high" " You ever wake up in the middle of the night and..." " Like a bird up in the sky" " You know." "Just sort of do it?" " Like." "Half asleep?" " Darling" " Yeah." "Sure." " Don't let me down" "I wonder what would happen if..." " You and I got up in the middle of the night." "Went next door..." " Don't make it you" " And crept into the other man's bedroom?" " Whatever you do" " Oh, don't turn my life" " Would they know the difference?" "Upside down" "I think so." " I need you so" " And would they mind?" "Richard." "take a look." " And I guess you know" " They want exactly what we want." " That I'm too far gone" " In the heat of the moment." "They'll love it." "To turn around" " Hey." "It's all set." " I'm too far gone" "To turn around" "I'll bet you a thousand dollars we could pull it off." " Eddy." "Come on." "Enough with this." " Enough?" "Enough?" "You say "enough" real quick." "don't you?" "Are you..." "Wait." "Wait." "Are you sure?" "Let me tell you something." "I can't remember when I've liked a guy as much as I like you." "but the truth of the matter is... you're a wimp." "You think you can be alive without taking risks." " There's a lot of different ways..." " No." "That..." "You do." "That's why you end up living this 50% existence... when there's 100% waiting out there to be had." "You're full of fear." "Your life is choked." "You-You write jingles when you'd rather be doing albums." "You do it for money." "but you're always in debt." "You wanna make love to my wife." "but you're afraid you'll get caught." "This is how you die." "step by step... these little things you deny yourself... this cowardice." " It's not that." " No." "That is what it is." "Who care..." "Who cares if we get caught?" "Big deal." "Aw." "Forget it." "You've lost your juice." "It's no big deal." "It's your life." "Make a fist." "Too tight?" "You really amaze me Richard." "you know." "Just when things start getting interesting around here... you go cautious on me." "Climb back into your little shell." "And what about Priscilla?" "Hasn't she told you how much more alive she feels?" "Eddy." "Goddam it." "That's enough." "Okay?" "The subject is closed." "It's not gonna happen." "I hope we can stay friends." "I don't know." "You make me feel bad." "You're so judgmental." "I'm not judgmental." "We're just different." "Okay?" " You're you and I'm me." " Oh." "That is absolutely right!" "I got balls and you don't." "I'm a giver and you're a taker." "That's clear." "Well." "In this particular case." "It's a hell of a lot easier for you to give than for me." "Pal." "I happen to sleep with my wife." "Boy." "When you stick it in..." "Fun, fun in the sun" "Fun in the sun" "Fun in the sun" "Fun in the sun" " Sounds good." " Fun, fun in the sun" "Fun in the sun" "When you deem me worthy..." "I'd like to know what happened between you and Eddy." "Oh." "I got it." "All right." "Uh." "A little to the left." "I think." "Yeah." "Perfect!" "Is that a beautiful tree or is that a beautiful tree?" " Think this tree is big enough?" " It's huge." " What are we gonna sing?" " It's beautiful." "Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh" "O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way, ha-ha-ha" "Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright" "What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight" " Richard." "Will you please tell me what happened..." " Jingle bells, Jingle bells" " Between you and Eddy?" " Jingle all the way" "Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey" " Is it about Kay?" " Jingle bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way" " Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh" " Did you sleep with her?" "No." "Priscilla." "Please." "Don't be jealous." "There's nothing to be jealous of." "I'm not jealous." "God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay" " Remember Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas day" " It's just that..." "To save us all from Satan's power" "Something went missing from this marriage..." " Oh, tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy" " And for a while it..." " Oh, tidings of comfort and joy" " Seemed to come back again." " From God our Heavenly Father a blessed angel came" " Now..." " And unto certain shepherds" " We never should have taken that money." "Brought tidings to the same" "How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name" "Oh, tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy" " We should never have taken that money?" " Oh, tidings of comfort and joy" "Now you say something?" "Now you're gonna make your moral judgement." " It's cold tonight." "Don't you think?" " Is that what this is all about?" "Eddy lacks your moral fibre?" "What about gratitude." "Richard?" " On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me" " He risked his reputation." " He risked his life for us!" " A partridge in a pear tree" " On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me" " No." "He may not always..." " Play by the rules." " Two turtle doves" " But at least he's in the game."

" Holy cow!" "It's out of the park!" " Swing." "Whoa!" " Oh!" "Come on." "Richard." "I know I'm..." "I'm a tough act to follow." "It's the bat." "It must be the bat." " It's all right." " It's the bat." " It's the bat." " Go." "Go." "Go!" " Get her!" " No!" "No!" " No!" " Hey." "look at them." "I would like to propose a toast." "To neighbours... and friends."

"I love you." "I love you." "You kids get out of the street." " What happened?" " You can't go in." " I'm their best friend." " You can't go in!" "Hey!" "You!" "You." "Samples taken from the victim's body prove you had sex with her within a half-hour of her death." "Otis claims you had a "obsessive fixation" on his wife." "And the murder weapon has your prints on it." " We played softball that afternoon." " Yes." "Meanwhile." "Otis says that your story about crossing back and forth... during the night." "Etcetera." "is nonsense." "And says that immediately after dinner." "Around 9.00 p." "M... he departed for Appalachia Lake." "leaving his wife behind." "Now that's a five-hour trip." "Luke Watkins of Watkins Fishing Lodge... says Otis woke him at 2.00 a.m. for the keys." " It's a lie." " Now the time of death has been set between 1.00 and 3.00 a.m." "Now if Otis's story is true." "The closest he could have been to his wife... at the time she was killed was somewhere in the middle of the Chattahoochee National Forest." "I'm telling you." "It's a lie." "If I were you." "I'd consider some kind of plea." "Otherwise." "Unless we can break Eddy's alibi... you could be in deep." "Deep shit." "Kneel down." "Hands behind your head." "Please." "Okay." "Are they treating you okay?" "Don't worry about me." "How's Lori?" "What do I tell her?" "Tell her the truth." "Tell her the truth." "This is a nightmare." "You have to help me understand this." "Richard." "Please." "Help me." "Please." "I thought it was what everyone wanted." "It seems like everyone was pushing me to do it." "Even you." "Who was pushing you to kill her?" "Are you insane?" "Priscilla." "I didn't kill her." "Richard." "You just said you..." "Mrs Parker." "To the best of your knowledge... did any other person other than your husband... enter your room the night of the murder?" "No." "No." "Of course not." "That was your story." "Richard?" "I thought that was something the papers made up." "You please." "You please think of some other defence." "Please!" "How could this have happened?" "How could you have done this to Lori." "Richard?" "How could you have done this to our" " Our family?" "Richard!" "Oh." "God!" "Everyone told me not to come here today... but I couldn't let anyone else do this for me." "I suppose I never was as strong as I pretended." "And I don't have the strength... to be both the good wife... and the good mother." "So I'm going to be the good mother." "I want to take Lori away from all of this." "I want my name back." "I want a divorce." "Lori is in hell." "Richard." "And I can't save you both." "What this does is define the financial terms of the divorce... to the satisfaction of the bondsman." "Along with your car and musical instruments... this pays my initial fee and secures the bond." "She's being very generous." "acting so fast." "Well." "You have 24 hours to remove whatever personal effects you want from the house." "The rest will be sold at auction to pay for your defence." "And don't get into any trouble." "Oh." "Jesus." "Who the hell are you?" "My name is David Duttonville." "I'm a private investigator." "I. Um..." "I'm gonna sit down now." "You scared me." "Door was open." "I used to live next door." "I was just..." "Yes." "I know who you are." "I thought you were still in the." "Uh..." " I made bail." " Great." "My company." "Duttonville Research... it's been hired by three insurance companies... to investigate a total $ 1.5 million double indemnity claim... by Eddy Otis on his wife." "Kay Otis." "In fact." "We were hopin' that you might be able to help us." "$ 1.5 million?" "Yes." "That's the point." "It is rather a lot to take out on a would-be lounge singer... who never earned a cent in her entire life." "However." "There's no law against it." "She had a policy on him in the same amount." "Eddy's explanation is... that they loved each other so much... he figured if either of them got killed... they'd need a lot of compensation." "It's a funny attitude." "The world is a funny place." "So he went back in there... and he beat her to death... for money." "Just as simple as that." "Isn't that amazing?" "I even think he liked her." "You're saying he killed Kay Otis?" "Of course he killed her." "But what a set-up." "The whole thing just so he could..." "$ 1.5 million." "I checked his alibi." "It's gonna hold." "What about the people at the lodge?" "I wonder how much he paid them." "Me too." "But who is Eddy?" "Where'd he come from?" "I was hoping you knew." "He told me he was a financial advisor." "Great." "Now I know." "I'm on this for a week." "There's a limit to what one can do in a week." "I need something solid." "You got anything?" "Just what I already told them." "The police know about the insurance." "I suppose?" "They're not interested." "I think they feel comfortable with you." " Comfortable?" " You know what I mean." "They got a good case." "Look." "You got my card." "You think of anything." "you give me a call." "Oh." "And by the way." "in case you're interested... when I interviewed Otis." "he was with your spouse." "The grieving widower comforting the lonely wife." "I'm gonna get going." "Goodbye." "I'm Richard Parker." "Why are you doing this to me?" " Who is it?" " Call the police." "Get my gun." "then call the police." "I've lost my wife... my child." "My home." "I'm facing a death sentence or life imprisonment." "Call the police." "How do you sleep at night?" "Damn it." "Woman." "call the police." "Didn't he pay you enough to kill me?" "Richard, uh, this is George Gordon." "I'm afraid we failed in getting a further postponement of the trial." "The trial will be in three weeks." "I do have to say I would advise you to reconsider your plea." "Thank you." "All my life I've been a slave" "Just put me down and let me be" "Free from all" "This misery" "Mmm, that was Olivia Kamen with 'Put No Headstone On My Grave..."" "a song made famous by Little Esther Phillips... at The Blues Connection here in Five Points, Atlanta." "Next..." "There you go." "Kay?" "Sorry." "What happened to the contest?" "Contest?" "There was a blues contest on the radio." " I was just listening to it." " Oh." "That was last week." "You must have been listening to a repeat." "There was a singer." "Olivia Kamen?" "Oh." "She won." "But when we went out lookin' for her... to give her the prize." "She lit out." "Didn't leave an address or nothin'." " What does she look like?" " What does she look like?" "Ooh." "She looked good!" " All right!" " Yeah!" "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "And thanks to our friend that we haven't seen in a long time." " Tip your bartenders and waitresses." " They're not bad." "And remember." "We love you." "We thank you for loving the music." "Drive safe on your way home." "Good night." " Who loves you so, mm-hmm" " That's her voice." "I'd know it if she was singing underwater." "So who got killed that night?" "I don't know." "We gotta exhume the body and get a closer look." "Can't exhume the body." "It was cremated." "I checked on the way over." "Besides." "Otis is not the only one who identified the body." " Someone else?" " A doctor." " A doctor?" " Yeah." "I'll bet you $ 1.000 if you call my insurance company... you will see that same doctor's name on an insurance claim... that Eddy made when he faked an accident involving my car." "You're suggesting that Otis..." " Went out and hired someone..." " Probably." "who resembled Kay." "So you could make love to her..." " And he could then beat her to death." " Yes." "I'll think about it." "From all the trouble you've caused me" "Okay." "Okay." "she's got a nice voice." " Turn it off before I break down and cry." " Don't..." " Do you have any other recordings?" " Like what?" "Recordings like she made before she died." "I told you." "She didn't record anything." "That's my point." "No." "That's my point." "We have no comparison." "A broad in some club in Five Points sounds like... some broad who got snuffed in Huntcliffe... according to you." "the accused snuffer." "I go into court with a thing like that." "they'll laugh in my face." "And the initials KO." "OK." "Olivia Kamen..." "Oh." "Please." "Please." "Mr Parker." "I'm an old man."
