"There appears to be a potential... it looked like a door was opening..." "This is not a hoax." "That is real out there." "That was the scene in California's Mojave Desert three years ago today-- the first view of the Newcomer ship upon its arrival." "These Newcomers, we soon learned, were a genetically engineered race adapted for hard labor in almost any environmental condition." "In effect, their ship was a slave ship, washed ashore on Earth with no way to return to where they came from." "Now that attorneys have success fully lobbied for the Newcomers' release from quarantine, what are the reactions among the communities?" "Why us?" "Why can't they go to Russia?" "I'll drink to that." "I 'll be going to school with 9- or 10-year-olds;" "There goes my job future." "I have to compete with" "If a 10-year old is twice as smart," "I'll be working here." "By far the strongest words of acceptance came from then-President Ronald Reagan." "We've come to a turning point... a moment for hard decisions." "If not us...who?" "And if not now...when?" "Hey, Henry, how you doin' tonight?" "You working hard?" "Hey, you got your green card, buddy?" "Slagtown." "I hate this place." "Look at that geek." "I hate it." "Look at this crap." "I wonder if their plumbing's the same." "Yeah, it is." "What?" "Oh, man, get out of here." "Ugh." "I don't trust 'em, that's all." "Good day." "[Burp]" "Take a hike, will you?" "Jesus Christ!" "Why do they get wasted on sour milk?" "Why can't it be jack Daniel's or Thunderbird?" "What's wrong with that?" "Look at this- Fred Astaire and Ginger Slag." "What the hell's that?" "They call this a game." "It's a circle jerk." "Cowboys and slags." "Ha ha ha!" "They make up shit." "Beating each other to death." "So are you going or not?" "How do I go?" "You put on your wash-and-wear suit, your clip-on bow tie, then you show up at the church." "It's simple." "Me and Carol are going." "Well, that's nice." "Hey, come on now." "We've known Kristin since... well, since she was conceived." "Ha ha ha haaa!" "Remember?" "Up in that cabin at Big Bear?" "You and Edie were pounding so damn hard, we had plaster in our hair." "Look, I-- obviously, I want to go to Kristin's wedding." "You just bummed your ex-wife and her husband are paying for it." "If Kristin got married where I could afford it, we'd be in a bowling alley." "Does that look suspicious?" "Whatever gave you that idea?" "We got a possible 211 in progress," "Porter's Mini-market, corner of Virginia and Court." "Requesting backup." "Come on, forget that shit." "Let's go." "Listen..." "pay attention." "You tell me what those ugly bastards are doing in there." "Two gentlemen, long, black raincoats." "Long, black raincoats." "With long, black shotguns." "Oh, that's no good." "It's not very good at all." "You got your vest?" "Of course." "In the trunk of the car." "I feel a lot better now." "Well, my brother," "I'm going to get a better angle on that door." "You watch your ass." "You watch my ass." "[Speaking Alien Language]" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Shit." "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Freeze!" "Hey, freeze!" "Aah!"

"You mind stepping out here?" "We got a bit of trouble." "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Tug." "Oh...oh, shit." "[Speaking Alien Language]" "[Gunshots]" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Aaaah!" "Yaah!" "Ha ha!" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Ha ha!" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Aah!" "[Sirens]" "Aah!" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Oh!" "Whoa, whoa." "Whoa, whoa!" "Take it easy." "You OK?" "I'm all right." "I better call this in." "Ow, my hand." "Jesus." "Are you all right?" "Oh..." "God, I hate you." "Get out of here!" "I don't need your god damn help!" "Take it easy, will you?" "[Sirens]" "Except for the magazine, looks like a standard 12 gauge." "It is-." "How come it went clean through the car?" "B.R.l. Sabot slugs." "Tug might as well have been behind a rosebush." "Pretty heavy stuff for knocking off a mini market." "An identical round was used in the shooting of a newcomer named Hugely two days ago." "How come" "Francisco, she won't budge." "Hey, uh- Hey, listen, uh... you think there's a connection?" "Hey!" "Up yours." "[Beep]" "Hello, Daddy?" "Dad, are you there?" "Will you pick up the phone?" "I really need to talk to you." "Why are you being so stubborn?" "Can't you forget about your hassles with Mom?" "It's my wedding." "Come on, you got to be there." "Listen, I already worked it out with Tug." "Nothing will stop him from dragging you to that church on Sunday." "It's at 2:30, and please don't be late." "I love you, Daddy." "Ahh, I shouldn't have said that." "Now you'll pull this tape out and save it, right?" "Bye." "[Beep]" "This is the gas company." "Your bill is past due, and" "Yo, Matt." "Matt." "Oh, Matt." "I'm sorry, man." "Matt." "Yeah, thanks." "I'm sorry about that." "What did you dig up?" "Jesus, Sykes, it hasn't even been 1 O hours yet." "Me and Alterez are on it." "Yeah... that makes me real happy." "You ever try to make a case in Slagtown?" "The list of Newcomer informants is as long as a list of Mexican war heroes." "Hey!" "Come on!" "Half of 'em don't even speak English." "The other half..." "only when it suits 'em." "It's gonna take some time." "I know it'll take time with you two." "I've got an announcement." "You OK, Sykes?" "I'll make this short." "This is a directive from Chief Evener, acting on a mandate from the Federal Bureau of Newcomer Relations." ""As of 9:00 this morning, one Newcomer uniformed officer has been promoted to detective."" "And we've got him, gentlemen." "Volunteers for duty with the new detective should see me in my office." "Otherwise, I will choose a volunteer myself." "That's all." "What's he going to do if he gets too many volunteers?" "How long's this slag been on the force?" "A year max, right?" "I was in uniform eight years before I became detective." "I'm calling the union." "You got it, babe." "We'll back you." "No chance, man." "Where the hell's he going?" "Bob?" "Yeah, Sykes?" "Yeah, I'd, uh... like to volunteer for duty with the new, uh... um...you know." "Uh..." "look, Matt... you don't have to jump right back in." "Why don't you take a few days?" "I'd like to stay on." "All right." "Detective Sergeant Sykes," "Detective Francisco." "We have met." "Yeah, right." "Victor Goldrup, Mayor's office." "Congratulations, gentlemen." "You're to have nothing to do with the investigation into Tuggle's death." "Leave that to Federchuk." "Right." "You?" "You?" "Yes, sir." "There is a case I'd like to take." "A homicide." "A Newcomer named Hugely." "Granger and Pitts are already on it." "They got a full caseload." "I thought, what with, uh... excuse me, Francisco here, first Newcomer plainclothes, with the body found in the Newcomer community," "I thought..." "Don't tell me what to think." "It's exactly what we need for this early advancement program." "Yes, sir." "All right." "all right." "Good." "We'll work my hours." "I do the driving, and you do the paperwork." "Sergeant, I would like to thank you for what you are doing." "Oh, wait...wait." "Let me get something straight in your head." "Want cream and sugar?" "No, no, I want to get something straight in your head." "We are not pals, we're not taking moonlight walks together, and don't call me Sergeant." "Call me Sykes or Matt." "lam Samuel." "Would you like a doughnut?" "Change your mind?" "Sam Francisco?" "Sam Francisco?" "Ha ha!" "No, I ain't buying' that." "I'm not buying that." "I'm not going to introduce you to people as Sam Francisco." "I think I'll call you..." "George." "George?" "OK." "OK." "Oh, they hung one on you." "L, uh..." "I heard a lot of good ones before, like Humphrey Bogart, Harley Davidson." "I guess the guys got a little punchy handing out names to a quarter million people." "You weren't towards the back of the line?" "Oh, no." "My true name is Stangia Sorentzaah." "Sorentzaah?" "Thank you." "I'll call you George." "Which paper do you like?" "I find it difficult to drive and read." "Wait a minute." "I got you your cigarettes." "Where did you get this?" "What is this stuff?" "What is this?" "Tell me, what is this?" "That is a car deodorizer." "That's mine." "Anyway, what's it bother you if we think your name's funny, right?" "That is exactly so." "It is like your name..." "Sykes." "To us it sounds just like si ikes, two words in my language which mean excrement and cranium." "Shithead." "Why don't you go ahead?" "I'll be right in." "Hey, man." "So what do you got for me?" "You said you wanted the biggest thing I could find, and this...is it." "What in the hell's this?" "A .454" "Casull." "We're talking twice the impact energy of a .44" "Magnum hot load." "Only holds five." "Shells are too big for six in a cylinder." "Hell, Matt, you only need one." "No, two." "Thanks." "How long you been shootin'?" "That is god damn pitiful!" "What will you do in a shoot-out?" "Wave the scores of your written exams?" "Why'd you do it?" "Do what?" "Agree to work with me." "You don't like me." "You have nothing but contempt, yet you're my partner." "My partner is dead because one of you bastards killed him, then crawled down some rat hole." "You're going to help me find that ugly slag son of a bitch, you understand me?" "That's awfully pretty, huh?" "Bring my gun." "Let's talk Hugely here." "His body was discovered three days ago in an alley off Central Avenue near downtown." "With two slugs in his chest." "Through the chest, rupturing both the primary and secondary hearts." "Hey, nice signal, dickhead!" "He was employed at the Consolidated Petrochemical Refinery." "He was manager of a methane facility." "He was involved in a real estate venture to develop low-cost housing for Newcomers." "Newcomers." "That's terrific." "Real pillar of the community." "Was he ripped off?" "Pardon me?" "Um... was he missing anything when they found him?" "Oh, property." "Five." "He had no wallet but was wearing a watch and two rings." "Those guys last night at the mini mart, they made a half-assed stab at the money in the till." "That's not what they were there for." "We got a couple executions on our hands." "The murder at the mini-mart's not our case." "I don't want to break procedure." "[Horns Honk]" "What's wrong?" "Wrong?" "Nothing." "What should be wrong?" "Nothing." "What's wrong with you?" "UP Yours!" "Um...you do agree that there's a good chance that these two shootings are related?" "Yes, quite possibly." "Would you also be willing to accept the theory, George, that by examining the evidence of one case, we might shed a little light on the other?" "Does that sound unreasonable?" "Yes..." "No, it is not unreasonable." "Although it is not" "I'm so glad that's settled." "I think we're really starting to click, George." "Give me what you got." "I've been over all this this morning." "You got nothing better to do." "Yeah, right." "Don't push your luck." "Anyway, according to the sheet, the guy you nailed outside by the car-- he was one Martin Helder- white male, age 27." "The rap sheet shows one armed robbery conviction." "The guy was on coke when you stopped his clock." "Have you identified this one?" "So far, he's a john Doe... or a Sam Slag." "There's no fingerprints, so it could be tough." "Lucky for you, you got him in both his hearts." "Lucky for you, you got him in both his hearts." "I emptied a whole clip into him." "Usually that just pisses them off." ""It looks like the miner's disease."" "Hey" "What's going on?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" ""Run blood tests and keep it between us."" "Got an extra head shot." "We're about to start cutting." "It's really fascinating stuff." "Yeah, I'll bet." "Let's check their personal effects." "What is this?" "What's that?" "It's a rubber." "It's a, um..." "you know, a condom." "Coney Island Whitefish, you know." "Um...men, you know, human men... they put them on their penises to protect from having babies, understand?" "Excuse me." "You need this for anything?" "I got my own." "She has her own." "Here." "See?" "You get the picture?" "And that fits?" "Yeah, it's made of rubber." "It stretches, right?" "And still it fits?" "What's this stuff here?" "Oh, it's a resin." "Newcomers working near methane gases and oil refineries must paint it on to protect against sparks." "How do you know that?" "They hired my people because methane fumes don't harm us." "My spouse's brother is one." "All right." "So, um... the slag they're cutting into upstairs-- he worked at a refinery, and Hugely-he worked at a refinery." "I guess that possible connection is getting a hell of a lot more possible, wouldn't you say that, George?" "I guess I should talk to the store owner's wife." "I should speak to the widow alone." "All right." "You talk to the widow alone." "I'll check out the refinery." "Hey, uh, thanks, huh?" "What about this Hugely guy?" "Hugely was a damn good manager." "The men really liked him." "Apparently, one of them didn't like him so much." "Here." "Give this a look." "You think this guy did it?" "He could have been involved." "You know him?" "I hate to admit it, but they all look alike." "Wait a minute." "You know who this looks like?" "No." "James Anderson." "He's not in today." "He took the afternoon off." "I think you'll find he took the rest of his life off." "Is this where he worked?" "Yeah, right in there." "Wait." "There's 35% pure methane gas in there." "I don't know how these fellas do it." "Yeah." "Thanks, huh?" "Anything I can do." "Appreciate it." ""L need your help, Mrs. Porter."" ""I will try."" ""Can you identify these Newcomers?"" ""No, but my son might."" "Here's on oldie but goodie from 1988-- the Four Tops with Indestructible." "[Music Plays]" "[Horn Honks]" "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Welcome back, Ozzie and Harriet." "Well?" "One second." "We're not even moving." "Safety first." "Bye!" "You have to yell?" "Sorry." "Did you learn anything?" "Mrs. Porter is not taking her husband's death very well." "She identified one man." "It was Warren Hugely." "Well, all right." "What about the other guy?" "She didn't know, but she thought her son might." "Did you talk to him?" "No, but she told me where I could find him." "Good." "Who's this guy we got to go see?" "William Harcourt-- a business associate of Hubely's." "[Speaking Alien Language]" "Our guest speaker tonight has done so much in his community." "He's come quite far in the last few years-- granted, not as far as he came in the years before reaching Los Angeles." " Ha ha ha!" " Ha ha ha!" "As Mayor of this city, it gives me great pleasure to introduce it gives me great pleasure to introduce someone who has so readily made our city his home." "Ladies and gentlemen, William Harcourt." "[Applause]" "[Speaking Alien Language] lam particularly grateful... because I actually had the gall to write in my notes" ""Thank you all for a very warm reception."" "Imagine how embarrassed I'd been if it hadn't been such a warm reception." "[Applause]" "Excuse me." "Mr. William Harcourt?" "Yes." "I'm Detective Sergeant Sykes." "This is Detective..." "Francisco." "L.A.P.D." "Sergeant." "Detective." "I wasn't aware any Newcomers were detectives yet." "lam the first, sir." "Congratulations." "This is my administrative assistant-Rudyard Kipling." "Rudyard Kipling?" "No shit?" "Ha ha ha!" "We need some information about... a business associate of yours" "Warren Hugely." "Ah." "Poor Warren." "Tragic." "Yeah, wasn't it?" "I understand you were partners in some slag..." "Newcomer real estate thing, huh?" "He and I and seven or eight others." "William." "Wouldn't you rather ride with Louisa and me?" "Excellent idea." "Do you know these officers?" "Detectives..." "Sykes." "Sykes and Francisco." "How do you do?" "Pleasure." "I think we really should be going." "Feel free to call my office Monday morning." "Congratulations again on your promotion, Detective." "Thank you." "Remember, you're setting an example in our community." "I shall be keeping an eye on you." "He's going to keep an eye on you." ""Sykes was the one who chased us and killed Anderson."" ""You're lucky, he didn't recognize you."" ""What if he talks to Strader?"" "" Mr. Strader's change of heart is dangerous, find him."" "I've been going to Berlitz for years-- 6.42." "Excuse me." "Here." "I got it." "I got it." "How long did it take you to learn English?" "Three months." "Three months?" "We learn quickly." "We adapt." "It's our strength-- what we were bred for." "My neighbor-- she's got this kid who's got a Newcomer in the class." "The kid's 6 and in the 7th grade." "Imagine that." "Thanks a lot." "To me, it's, like, totally amazing." "Yes, it is." "Oh, my God." "I got yours." "What is that?" "What kind is that?" "This?" "Yeah." "Beaver." "What?" "Beaver." "It's tasty." "Sure." "Want some?" "Not on a bet." "I tell my son- you don't know until you try." "You tell him that?" "Let me ask you something" "Would it really put you out- I mean, badly- if you put it on the grill?" "Our bodies don't assimilate nutrients if the food's been cooked." "You know, George, that's very attractive." "We're going to talk to people, and you got fur in your teeth- very attractive."

"Work on that for a few months." "Look at your dildo partner!" "He's scared of the sand!" "I'd love to see you by a sea of hydrochloric acid." "That's cute." "Ha ha ha ha!" "That's real cute." "I know why he won't come." "He forgot his hip waders!" "Lay off him, you asshole." "At least I'm a detective, not some outer-shit space thing." "You know, you're right." "You are a real detective, an honest-to-God detective." "Ah!" "Here, detect these!" "Ah!" "What was that about?" "Nothing." "You guys finish your postmortem on Strader yet?" ""The Blob"?" "They're finishing up now." "Is Mr. Bentner here?" "No." "He went home early." "He left something here for you." "Here." "Does this have something to do with the tests he ran?" "What kind of tests?" "A blood test on that alien you dropped the other day." "[Radio] Los Angeles steals the ball!" "Did he find anything?" "Well, George?" "...pass down the middle." "It's nothing." "Drives underneath and makes a slam dunk!" "Hey!" "Don't give me that nothing shit!" "It wasn't nothing yesterday when you asked what's-his-name to run that test, and he looked like he was about to shit peach pits!" "It's not nothing now!" "Don't lie to me!" "You must leave me alone." "No." "I'm sorry." "I don't leave you alone." "You're my partner." "I don't work that way." "Huh?" "All right?" "Well?" "OK." "[Bell Rings]" "No secrets, god damn it." "That slag up there, he was on something." "It wasn't sour milk." "Am I right, George?" "Tell me- Aah, shit!" "Tell me now!" "NOW!" "The drug is called Jabluka." "[Bell Ringing]" "It is a potent narcotic." "How potent?" "More potent than any human drug you can imagine." "The controllers regulated it." "We would receive small amounts as a reward for our labor in the mines." "You were on this shit?" "Yes!" "We all were." "We were genetically engineered as slave laborers." "It was our only means of pleasure allowed!" "The harder you worked, the more you got." "The more you got, the harder you worked." "Thousands of my people... died." "I lost my best friend." "It is a nightmare." "[Bell Ringing]" "I will not let it happen again." "Wh-Why wouldn't you just tell me something like that?" "Your people cannot know about this part of our past." "It would threaten our entire existence here." "How did this guy get it?" "I don't know how he got it." "Was it on the ship?" "No." "I mean this is, uh... it's major, George." "It's really major." "It's simple." "All you had to do was tell me." "Here's Hugely." "Looks like he passed up jobs, waiting for the one at the refinery." "Would you punch up Joshua Strader for me?" "Released on November 29th." "Came immediately to L.A." "And took over a club called the Encounters." "Now the store owner, please." "Cecil Porter." "Released December 1." "Field of expertise... organic chemical engineering." "Holy shit!" "What we're looking at here... you got three Newcomers with nothing in common." "What if it's just one guy that shot the three of them?" "Now you got four Newcomers, totally different backgrounds..." "George." "Quarantine." "Honey, uh... punch up the occupants of Porter's lodge number." "OK." "Porter was in 772." "Harcourt." "Gin." "Porter somehow created the formula." "Hugely provided the manufacturing at the refinery." "Strader's nightclub was the distribution network." "Harcourt wiped them all out so he could have all the marbles." "He's responsible for everything." "I want his ass." "He's mine." "We got to play this smart." "The drug is here." "We must destroy it." "Hold it." "You're missing the point." "The drug is our evidence." "We need it." "Hey!" "That's the guy right there." "Are you crazy?" "Open the door!" "So much for playing it smart." "You can't come in here like this!" "Shut up!" "Where's the drug?" "What drug?" "This is an oil refinery!" "Aagggh!" "Where?" "You can't do this!" "Aagggh!" "I think you're crushing his little chest bones." "Stay out of this." "Right." "Tell me where the drug has been taken, or I'll crush your lungs." "Hey, O'Neal, don't piss him off." "I can't control him." "I saw him once pull out a guy's spine and show it to him." "I had to throw up, you know." "They took the stuff out this afternoon... all of it." "Where did they take it?" "Where did they take it?" "Aah!" "The Encounters club." "Quite lovely." "What is your name again?" "Cassandra." "I shall remember that." "George, lighten up." "Don't sweat it." "We got them by the short hairs." "He ain't gonna make any more of that shit!" "If you destroy the drugs, you'll destroy the case." "Please stick to procedure, OK?" "Fuck procedure." "Hey, George" "George!" "God damn it!" "♪ George Francisco ♪" "♪ Open your Golden Gate ♪" "♪ Open your gate and let me in ♪♪" "You!" "Hey, you!" "Police!" "Get out of there." "What?" "Walk that line right now!" "Come on!" "What are you talking about?" "What about me?" "Señor, that's my truck!" "It's been a long time... hasn't it, gentlemen?" "What is it?" "A sweet indulgence from our past, resurrected for our future." "Feel free to sample the quality." "I'm sure the experience will be everything you remember it to be." "Where did you get it?" "I spent time with three very resourceful men." "Mmm!" "Jesus, it tastes like detergent." "That's all the effect you'll get." "But when my fellow Newcomers learn they can obtain it here, they will work very hard to make as much money as they can to give it to me." "Tell them the rest, Harcourt!" "Tell them!" "He's got the C-4 charge." "Put your guns on the table." "Up against the wall except you!" "Take it easy, buddy." "Keep your finger on the button." "You release that button, you'll not only kill us but yourself." "To get you and this, I would do it." "That is not in any books as a controlled substance- legally, no different than 12 kilos of grape jelly." "The charge is murder and conspiracy to commit murder." "Hugely..." "Porter..." "Strader." "You killed Strader!" "No!" "No!" "Aah!" "Kill them both!" "Here?" "DO it!" "Don't shoot!" "4230 Hollywood Boulevard," "Club Encounters." "Yes." "Shit, it worked." "Turn back!" "Turn back!" "Get the car!" "Let's go!" "I can't!" "You have the keys!" "[Honk Honk]" "Turn the police light on." "[Siren]" "Pull it over!" "Don't put that in my face!" "Man, get out" "[Siren]" "We lost them." "[Horns Honking]" "Move!" "Everybody move!" "Move, will you?" "We're the god damn police!" "On your right." "The god damned road is blocked!" "Oh, Christ." "Head straight for them." "He'll move." "This is chickie, George." "I never lose." "Damn!" ""Hm!" "Ohh!" "George." "Anything broken?" "You all right?" "Don't move." "Put 'em up." "I said put them up." "[Click]" "Hey...you move one finger, and you're history." "Not history!" "Eternity!" "[Breaks Glass]" "[Heart Beating Rapidly]" "Aagggh!" "I just remembered a joke that my son told me." "Yeah?" "SQ?" "L-I-l better not tell it now." "I'd-l 'd-l 'd-- I never" "I don't tell jokes well." "No, probably not, but go ahead, tell me." "If I--if I-- if I begin to tell it and you know the joke, please say that." "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "[Coughing]" "I know it." "I know it." "It's-It's a funny joke." "I assume with Harcourt and Kipling dead, you will be requesting a reassignment now." "Well... just for your own good." "I think you'd be better with a partner who's, you know, more by the book." "But still, George, I got to tell you, for a quiet guy, once you get started, you're hell on wheels." "I hate missing your next few days as detective." "Guys, I'll take you to the station." "Come on, partner." "They're waiting to take your statement on the shooting." "I didn't shoot." "He OD'd." "You got a match?" "Yeah, in there." "Aah!" "What's this about, Sarge?" "Just keep driving, all right?" "Just drive." "What the heck is that?" "Holy..." "I'm calling for backup." "No." "Leave it be, will you?" "Sarge." "Something gutted them." "I'm going to request help and an air unit." "What-What- What is this?" "It's Harcourt." "He's dead." "No, he's not- not if he overdosed on the drug." "Massive amounts trigger a change." "You appear dead, but it's a state of incubation." "When you emerge, you are metamorphasized." "We must not let him get away." "What?" "What would happen if humans see what we are capable of becoming?" "Got him!" "Wiltey, no!" "[Clank]" "Argh!" "[Click Click]" "[Snap]" "Aah!" "[Beep]" "[Beep]" "Ah!" "Hey, you!" "Get the hell off my boat." "You heard me." "Get off the boat!" "Over there!" "Argh!" "Nice view, huh, you dumb sack ofshit!" "Let's have a cold one!" "Aah!" "Take her down!" "Down!" "Take it down!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "[Gasping]" "Your scarf!" "Can I borrow your scarf?" "Take her down!" "Aargh!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Uh!" "Wait...wait...wait." "What the hell was that?" "It looked really weird!" "What do you mean weird?" "Looked like every other slag, just plain ugly." "Hey, look at this!" "Go ahead." "Wait." "Let me hold the tie." "Ah!" "Sorry." "Everybody gets dressed, right before their daughter gets married." "There you go." "It looks all right?" "Good." "Ready, Daddy?" "All set?" "Yes, honey." "Uh, George, uh, I just want to..." "I'm going to apologize for the rotten things" "I'm going to do and say to you over the years." "It's all right, Matthew." "After all, you're only human." "What a wild man." "My daughter's got a husband, I got a partner." "He ain't really half bad, except when he's got that rotten milk on his breath."
