"We got a partial description." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "The Krishna died of a broken finger?" "(SCOFFS) I mean, is that a homicide?" "Well, I guess he died of shock." "Well, it hurts like hell to have your finger bent back." "My sister used to do it to me when I was a kid." "Yeah, but you didn't die." "Now, if this was an accident... it'd be simple assault, right?" "However... if the guy in the suede sport coat knew that Krishnas had a bad habit of dying every time you bent their finger back... (LAUGHS)" "(LAUGHS)" " Murder one?" " Yeah." "Boy, the guys at the station are going to laugh their asses off." "Yeah." "Your turn to notify next of kin." "No way!"

"This is a nice cup, Junior." "I'm gonna get a lot of use out of this." "It's a good cup." "Hey, did you see the swimmers?" "That's why I picked this place." "They do, like, a water ballet." "Ballet in the water." "I like it." "'Cause I like to swim myself." "I'd rather do that kind of work, you know?" "But you gotta train for a long time." "So now I want to take a Spanish course in college." "You know, in my business, a lot of people don't speak English." "So I think I'd be better at it if I spoke..." "thank you."

"Talk about dumb questions." " Yes?" " HOKE:" "Susan Waggoner?" " Uh-huh." " Can I come in?" "I bet you're Herman Gotlieb." "How much?" "Sergeant Hoke Moseley." "Homicide." "Herman Gotlieb." "I'd like to ask you a few questions." "Routine." "Boy, you got a grip there, Herman." "Been working out?" "Can I get you a cold one there, Sarge?" "Well, why not?" "Two Polars, honey." "You down at the airport today, Herman?" "Yeah, I was." "Somebody broke the finger off a Hare Krishna and the son of a bitch died." "No shit?" "No shit." "I didn't do it." "Oh, no, no, no, we're just looking for someone who might have seen anything." "I'm curious, uh..." "you own a suede sport coat?" "Yeah, I do." "Okay." "You're probably the one." "Did you get on the courtesy van to the Grand Prix Hotel?" "Hey, fuck this nonsense, man." "(CHUCKLES) Hey, you're misunderstanding this, Herman." "Who got killed?" "You know, if I had something better to do like sit at home with a beautiful girl" "I wouldn't even be bothering you, but, uh... you were mentioned as a possible witness." "See anything?" "Nope." "(LAUGHS) We got this forensic dentist." "And I, uh..." "I talked him into pulling my teeth and fixing me some new choppers." "It took two months of his spare time." "And I got so used to drinking without 'em, I just pull 'em out." "Bother you?" "Junior?" "You want me to fix those pork chops now?" "Hell, I'll put 'em back in for pork chops." "Pork chops comin' up." "Herman?" "Your fiancee is the best cook in South Florida." "More taters?" "Junior?" "So, Herman, where'd you do your time?" "Time?" "What do you mean?" "Well, the way you're guarding that food." "You know, like another con could take it away from you." "Well, I was raised in foster homes, you know?" "I didn't get no dessert till I was in eighth grade." "Damn." "I got a daughter in the eighth grade." "Half my paycheck goes to her orthodontist." "She's got your teeth, man." "Yeah, the joint's about the only place you got time to work out to get a grip like that." "I was an aerobics instructor." "Shoots the shit out of that theory." "Any more Polars?" "Oh..." "Junior got the last one." "I could run out and get some." "Beer's gone, I'm gone." "Aw, you're kidding." "But, you know, I gotta get that pork chop recipe first." "No." "Are you serious?" "It is so easy, what I did." "You are definitely not gonna have to write this down." "All it is is pork chops in a frying pan." "And just cook 'em in their own fat with a lot of salt." "Oh, well, they sure were good, but you know what I really like... is native Florida cooking." "Now, did you ever have chestnut batter on your pork chops?" "Boy, I never did." "You got a recipe for that somewhere?" "Uh... yeah, I do, as a matter of fact." "I'll give it to you." "Just a minute here." "Oh, I appreciate that." "Great dinner." "Get you something to go, Sarge?" "Just you." "Kidding, Herman." "Listen, if you think of anything, just, uh... give me a call." "That's my home phone." "Look, it's a hotel, and the old guy at the desk is deaf, so, uh... just let it ring till he sees the lights." "Oh, and, uh... when we round up the usual airport hoodlums, maybe you could shoot by and take a look at a line-up." "Take you five minutes." "Oh, yeah." "You mind standing in the line-up, too?" "We're a little short of bodies." "(CHUCKLES)" "You ever stood in a line-up before, Herman?" "Never been caught, Sarge." "(LAUGHS)" "Ah, you ain't got one beer rat-holed" "I can take with me for the road, do you?" "You got it all, man." "Dog biscuits, too." "See you." "Night, Susie." "Years ago, I started preaching catch-and-release." "Back then, a lot of things seemed to indicate that our bass resource in many areas of the country was rapidly diminishing." "Today, there is no doubt about it, and I'm very concerned about what the future holds for this great sport." "In simple terms we don't have the vast water we once had and there are several reasons for it..." "pollution, illegal netting, the pressure of removing too many adult bass from their environment." "You know, they're kind of like money in the bank." "I got news for you." "I'm not coming back." "I'm married." "I am so married." "I gotta go." "Bye." "You like ham and eggs?" "Hey!" "Drop it." "Smells good." " Who was that, anyway?" " Pablo." "The cops rousted him." "I guess they're giving him a hard time because of you." "We got to go for a little ride, honey." "What?" "What about breakfast?" "It was gonna be a surprise." "I was gonna bring it in to you on a tray, and then I..." "Make it to go." "Okay." "(KNOCK ON DOOR)" "Not too tired for some fun?" "Call it a night, sister." "Aye, aye, sir." "I got something that I gotta tell you." "I used to be in prison." "What'd you do to get there?" "I used to rob people who robbed people." "Kind of like Robin Hood?" "(LAUGHS) Yeah." "Except I didn't give the money to the poor people." "Oh." "You don't do that anymore, do you?" "I got investments now." "Good." "You got me out of the life." "Now you stay out of crime." "Sounds good." "Promise?" "Yeah, sure." "Why not?" "Say you promise." "I promise." "Henderson?" "Sanchez." "Homicide." " Oh, my replacement." " How is he?" "He's got a cervical disc injury, a dislocated jaw, bruises, uh... got a concussion, I don't know how bad it is." "Somebody really worked him over." "Did he tell you who did it?" "What happened?" "No, he's in and out of consciousness." "(GROANS)" "Drop the knife, Pablo." "My name isn't Gotlieb." "Sergeant Hoke Moseley, homicide." "That little girl you sent up to my room?" "She's 15 years old, man." "She's 23, man." "She's not 15." "Look." "Sergeant Lackley checked her I.D." "Why don't you call him?" "I pay him every week." "Maybe you two guys can get together." "How much you pay Lackley every week?" "$500 a week." "Don't." "All right, from now on, Lackley gets 250." "The other 250 to me at the Primrose Hotel." "You got it, man?" "Lackley's not gonna go for any split like that." "You tell the guy at the desk to leave it for me in the safe." "Hi." "What can I get for you?" " Uh... ice coffee." " (FOG HORN BLOWS)" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Open it!" "Open the goddamn drawer now!" "Do it!" "Stop or I'll shoot!" "You just shot me." "I fired a warning shot, and it hit you." "You're no cop." "No problem." "There is no problem." "Police." "Homicide." "You people go about your business." "You finish your lunches, your breakfasts, whatever." "Don't worry, lady, I'm gonna call an ambulance now on the radio in my police car." "Yeah." "I'll be right back." "Slow down." "Go ahead." "Stop right here!" " Furnished?" " Yeah, with almost antiques." "How much?" "I been worried sick!" "Where you been all day?" "!" "Dumb question." "Did you get the money?" "Oh. (CHUCKLES)" "I cashed in the $10,000 CD, but I decided to keep the N.O.W. account open for eight more days." "What did I tell you?" "Huh?" "They said if I keep it open for eight more days," "I'll be eligible for a teapot." "I'm sorry." "It's just 8 more days." "You'll still be here, won't you?" "I don't know." "My problem is that I can have everything and anything that I want but I don't know what I want." "Tell me again about that Burger World franchise." "Okay." "Okay." "You need $50,000." "You borrow another 50,000 from Burger World and you wait for an opening." "But why?" "What's the purpose?" "To make a living, that's all." "You hire kids so you can pay 'em nothing." "And you watch 'em real close or they will steal you blind." "And... and you save your money, and you buy a nice little house with a white picket fence." "And you live happily ever after." "I tell you what..." "let's go straight to the "happily ever after" part, okay?" "I can't see any point in hanging out at a Burger World no matter how much money you're gonna make." "It's stupid." "You can forget about Burger World, honey." "Okay." "I'm gonna take care of you, and you're gonna take care of me." "That's our purpose." "Do you know any married people today?" "Hmm?" "They're a team." "They pull together, and they get rich." "They got it all." "And you know that little house you were just talking about?" "I rented us one in Coral Gables today." "Oh, Junior." "That's what you were up to all day?" "I'm gonna take such good care of you." "He was a big guy, man." "Bigger than you." "Got up from the table, said he was homicide." "Pulled a badge?" "After he whacks the dude." "It was cold, man, ice cold." "Thanks, Blink." "What do I owe you?" "It's on the house, bro." "(SIGHS)" "Come on." "I like the air conditioning on "frozen."" "Me, too." "(FOGHORN BLOWS)" " Half-ounce." "Primo, man." " Thanks, man." "(ALARM BELL CLANGING)" "Hey, half that's mine." "Fuck you!" "I sold it." "I keep the money." "These are my contacts." "They're my people." "I don't give a shit about your contacts." "Don't turn your back when I'm talkin' to you." "I'm tired of your shit." "Get out of my face!" "Police!" "Freeze!" "Stand over there." "Put that on." "Right through there." "You know what to do, Shorty." " Hey!" " I don't believe this." "(WHISTLES)" "I'm gonna let you two guys go..." "with a little warning." " Don't get caught." " Shit!" "(ALARM BLARING)" "Police!" "Don't move!" "You can go now." "(MEN TALKING IN SPANISH)" "Give me your wallet!" "Come on, man." "Move it" "Police!" "Drop it!" "I said drop it." "Shoot him!" "Make it, Julio." "Comprendo?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "That's my purse!" "Stop him!" "Stop!" "Somebody please help me!" "Go get him." "Thank you, officer." "Yeah, that's great, lady." "But... you're a cop!" "Hey!" "Police!" "Police!" "You have anything against broccoli, cauliflower, stuff like that?" "I don't want to talk about that at this time." "Oh." "What are you going to do now that we're married?" "Take care of the house, shop, fix dinner." "Take care of the babies." "Is that what you'd like to do?" "Be a mother?" "Well, I don't..." "I guess so." "I..." "I don't..." "I don't know." "I lived with a girl once for 2 months." "She didn't do anything a housewife was supposed to do." "I thought you said you were married." "I told you that before I really knew you." "What I'm driving at, Susie, is I want to have a regular life." "I want to go to work in the morning, sometimes at night, come home to a clean house and a hot meal and a loving wife just like you." "I don't want to have any babies." "This world's a shit hole." "You think you can handle that?" "I do." "It's better than counting money." "These yours?" "I can't tell." "Yeah." "This, uh... nail polish." "We found two muscle heads cuffed together." "Jesus!" "He's making arrests?" "We did some routine prints." "They match those taken from the scene of the dumbbell murders." "I've been working that case for 15 months." "Congratulations." "Case is closed." "Find Gotlieb?" "We're looking for him." "(SIGHS HEAVILY) Let's get the fuck out of here." " Okay." " I'll find him." "Yeah, maybe you should wait and let him solve a couple more from your case load, huh?" " (TELEPHONE RINGS)" " Will you have a seat, please?" " Where, here?" " Your name, please?" "Ziffel." "Fred Ziffel." "Is that the way you want the account to read?" "No." "I want it to read "Arnold Ziffel."" " Here you go." " Thanks." "Hey, Eddie." "Here's the key to your new suite." "Oh, and some Cuban kid on a bicycle made two deliveries." "Uh... 250 in both." "I'm sorry." "I opened them." "It's okay, Eddie." " Thanks." " Uh-huh." "(KNOCK ON DOOR)" " Who is it?" " Lackley." "Vice." "Slide your I.D. under the door." " Are you fucking serious?" " Try me!" "Next thing you hear will be a bullet coming through the door!" "Pablo sent this." " What?" " What's the matter, Sarge?" "Got a guilty conscience?" "I just got out of the hospital." "I know." "I know all about you." "I like your place here, too." "It's very nice." "You also got a little something that belongs to me, don't you, Gums?" "What the fuck you talking about?" "Never seen you before in my life." "Now, listen, Sarge you think you're moving in on my territory?" "I think you better cough up some "do-re-mi" right now." "500 bucks." "Let's have it." "(LAUGHS) What 500 bucks?" "What are you talking about?" " Fuck off!" " Fuck off?" "!" "Fuck off?" "!" "You go to Pablo, you cut yourself in on my action." "You don't think I'm coming after you?" "Jesus Christ!" "You got a lot of balls!" "And Pablo wants the hooker back on the job tomorrow at 10:00, and all is forgiven, Gums." "What hooker?" "10:00." "He got your gun and your badge... and your teeth?"

"Someone charged a suede sport coat on the real Gotlieb's credit card after he was dead." "We got the motherfucker!" "Thanks." "I'm sorry." "Habit." "I ran his real name by the utilities, but it turned up nothing." "He wouldn't use his real name." "Well, if he did, we'd be knocking on his door right now." "What about Waggoner?"

"Yeah, I'll tell you about it." "This straight life that we've been living has been giving me this misplaced sense of security!" "I thought for one minute there I was some kind of fuckin' solid citizen or something." "All I want to know is what happened to you." "Some guy in a blue Toyota pickup ran me over." "I thought it must have been something like that." "An anonymous, apparently off-duty police officer interrupted a robbery tonight at a Coral Gables convenience store, heroically confronting an armed robber with only bottles of spaghetti sauce." " (KNOCK ON DOOR)" " The officer then left the scene of the crime without identifying himself." "Police speculate that it..." "Yeah?" "!" "Ellita Sanchez." "Come in." "What's this?"

"And you beat the egg whites until they're stiff, and then you fold them in, and you take one cup of sugar." "And, um... here's the tricky part, okay?" "This is the key." "You use 5% vinegar, no stronger." "And just three teaspoons, that's all." "Just three little teaspoons." "That's where Mama went wrong." "Yeah, probably so." "You don't know where I could find that old boyfriend of yours, do you?" "No." "He's gone for good." "I know you wouldn't lie for him." "He was the liar." "Well, uh... enjoy that recipe." "I will."

"We figure if we could get a line on the owners, we could solve the crime." "This a valuable collection or what?" "This is by no means a rare collection." "When I take this fleeting breath" "When my eyes, they'll close in death" "Just a cursory look at these coins tells me they're in fair condition." "That was cursory?" "You ever seen them before?" "Seen lots like them." "What happened to your eye?" "Car accident." "You should sue the doctor who sewed you up." "You could make a bundle." "He said it'd be fine after it scarred over." "He lied." "How come a homicide detective is so interested in stolen property?" "First of all, that's confidential information." "Second of all, I'll ask all the questions around here." "I'm working on a tip." "I'm thinking of putting a stakeout in here." "You know, before I put that window in" "I was hit three times in one month, but I don't need no stakeout now." "Yeah?" "Why's that?" "Because of Pedro." "Pedro!" "He's been watching you the whole time through a peephole in the door." "It's okay, Pedro." "This is Sergeant Moseley." "He's with the police department." "Pedro!" "(SCREAMS) You bitch!"

" (GROANS)" "Everything's turning all orange and silver." "Susie's gonna get you, Sarge." "(CAR DOOR CLOSES)" "Oh." "Did you kill him?" "Yes." "Good-bye, Junior." "You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but, uh... gotta clear a few things up." "Did you know Junior was gonna rob the store?" "I was hoping he wouldn't." "He swore to me." "I had to give him the benefit of the doubt because he had some good qualities." "He always ate everything I ever cooked for him." "And he never hit me." "There were lots of good things about Junior." "Listen, Hoke, this is exactly what happened or you're in big jurisdictional trouble." "You were tailing him, a murder suspect." "You see him coming out of the coin shop with a gun in his hand." "Suspecting him of robbery, you called for back-up and you followed him to the house." "He pulled a gun on you, and you shot him."
