"Ned, you wouldn't." "I'm sorry." "I'm a cop." "I got a job to do." ""Cop arrests wife for murder." "Will defend her in court."" "(Ned Junior squeaks)" "Neddy!" "Daddy's got Skunky Treats!" "Neddy?" " No!" " Yes." " No." " Yes." "No!" "Yes, linguini pomodoro, with basil." "Pasta with tomato sauce." "What's the matter?" "Don't you like Italian?" "(whistles)" "Oh!" "Where is Ned Junior?" "I thought he might like to get out." "So I took him to the amusement park." "Ah!" "Now, you don't break into my house, cook my food, and borrow my skunk." "Now, you stay out of my face, out of my neighbourhood, out of my life!" "You haven't seen the last of me, Ned Ravine." "Told you." "How do you like sleeping with a murderess?" "Better than sleeping with a ninja turtle." "It's the hottest ticket in town, as people swarm in to witness the courtroom battle ofthe century." "Now, let's go up to the booth for the play-by-play and Bob Uecker." "What a great day for a trial." "We have lots ofincandescent lighting, a temperature of 72 degrees inside." "The wind should not be a factor, unless somebody cuts one." "It's the State ofCalifornia versus Lana Ravine." "Two equally matched opponents." "This oughta be a beauty." "Oy vey." "Oy vey." "Superior Court of Los Angeles is now in session." "And here he is, direct from a one-week engagement in Las Vegas Circuit Court, the honourable, the venerable, the totally irrepressible, Judge Harlan Skanky!" " (man in crowd) Woo, woo, woo!" " (cheering)" "(silence)" " You may sit down." " (crowd) Woo!" "Wow!" "Has this defence team been hot!" "37 straight victories this year." " Let's go down for the coin toss." " Tails." "(whistle)" "And the prosecution wins the flip of the coin and elects to kick things off." "And, therefore, the prosecution will prove that this... repulsive and degenerate woman brutally murdered a decent, law-abiding citizen." "The defence will prove these allegations are irresponsible caca-doody pooh-pooh." "So noted." "Miss Lincolnberry, can you tell us what this is?" "That is one of the many death threats that Max Shady faxed to you the day that he was released from prison." "A fax, in which he threatened to purée certain parts of my anatomy... in a blender." "I object!" "There's no need to deal with the fax in this case." "I'll allow it." "Will the clerk place this into evidence?" "I got it!" "I go..." "What is your occupation?" "I've been the conductor on the RR Railroad for 25 years, and I'm very, very proud of it." "And is this the blender you found in the lavatory of the train?" "Yes, it is." "I'd like this marked as evidence." "Mine!" "Bad call by Ravine!" "Let's go to the replay." "Look at that." "The bailiff is wide open." "But instead of handing it off, Ravine goes for the long bomb." "Oh, it's way wide!" " That blender is gone!" " Recess!" "Ten minutes." "There you go." "(bell)" "All right, recess is over." "Let's go!" "I love recess." "There they go, the ucla marching b... (thud)" " You may continue, Mr Ravine." " The defence calls Lana Ravine." "Now, Mrs Ravine." "May I call you Lana?" "Oh, please, call me Angel Tits." " I object!" " Sustained." "Counsellor, you will address Angel Tits as Mrs Ravine." "Mrs Ravine, will you please tell the court why you were on that train?" "I saw Max Shady at the station." "Saw him get on board." "I knew he'd threatened to kill you and..." "mutilate your reproductive organs." "So you followed him, knowing you had to protect me, your husband, best friend, the man you love, the future father of your children?" " Something like that." " Then when you saw him in the vestibule, waiting to pulverise my pee-pee, you pulled the gun and fired, and fired, and fired." "And fired, and fired, and fired, and fired, and fired, and fired, and fired..." "Ladies and gentlemen, how can you convict this courageous woman who risked everything to save the life of her beloved husband?" "A woman who acted boldly to stop a demented maniac... from pulverising the private parts of the man she loves?" "Lana Ravine is the potential mother of my potential child." "And I challenge you to strike a blow for motherhood." "Strike a blow for the American justice system." "Put the "can" back in American." "Put the "Jew" back in jurisprudence." "Put the "con" back in the Constitution." "And put the "dumb" back in freedom!" "(cheering)" "Ravine is hotter than a three-peckered billy goat!" "Can we say that?" "The jury's back!" "Mr Foreman?" " Has the jury reached a verdict?" " Yes, we have." "How do you find on the count of manslaughter?" " Not guilty." " On the count of murder?" " Not guilty." " On the count of Monte Cristo?" " Not guilty." " (cheering)" "(Skanky) Court is adjourned." "Attention courtroom shoppers." "All trial evidence now on sale." "40-60% off all exhibits." "Everything must go!" "Ned." "Ever consider that maybe you don't know women as well as you think you do?" " What do you mean?" " Your wife just bought her gun back." "The gun she used to kill a man." "That's the gun that saved my life." "I'm sure it has sentimental value." "Ooof!" "Aah!" "Hey, Frankie." "Long time no see." "Lana, baby, you beat the rap." "You were gonna let me rot in the slammer and never say a thing." " And you know too much." " You're not gonna shoot me, baby." "You're right, Frank." "Maybe I'll just... screw you to death." "Now you're talkin'." "Yeah." "Argh!" "urgh." " Hey, Arch." " Quentin." "You guys watch your step in here." "There's a lotta blood." " Lt Ravine." " Lopez, what have you got?" "Looks like suicide, sir." "I found this note." "It was stuck up his nose." ""I can't take it any more." "I'm a mediocre mechanic and a lousy lover."" "He sure got that right." "The mechanic part, I mean." "You know, I don't know why, Arch," "I just can't shake this crazy hunch it wasn't suicide." "All right, come on." "Knock it off." "On your feet." "Oh, Ned." "This is Lola, um... um?" "She told you her name was um?" "And what other lies did she tell you?" "I have never seen this woman in my life." "I never followed her home." "I never had sex with her in her refrigerator." "This is a sick fantasy and I deny everything." "And when will women like you learn you can't tear apart a perfectly good marriage with your vicious lies, Miss um?" "Actually, it's Smith." "Lola Smith." "I sell vacuum cleaners, Mr Ravine." "The big, powerful kind that suck up everything in sight." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Oh, my God, look at that." "I was telling your wife, if she wants to get rid of her dirt, she has to be willing to pay the price." "Please let me know what you decide." "I'm sure we can work out a convenient payment plan." "It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr Ravine." "I'll just let myself out." "Bye now." "(banging on door)" "Who is it?" " I just wanna talk." " Why didn't you say so?" "Would you like a drink?" " No, thanks." "I'm drivin'." " Then let's get to the point." "So, what's your problem, tough guy?" "You stay away from my wife, my life, my home, and my skunk!" "I'm taking Lana on vacation." "When I come back, I don't want to see your face again." "On vacation?" "She doesn't deserve a vacation!" "She's a brat, a bad girl!" "She always was." "She always will be." "What are you talking about?" "You don't know anything about Lana." "I know everything about Lana." "How do you know?" "Who is she to you anyway?" "(giggles)" " Who is she?" " She's your wife, dummy." " Who is she?" " She's my sister." " Who is she?" " She's your wife." "You tell me who she is or I'll..." "She's my sister!" "Your wife!" "Sister!" "Wife!" "Sister!" "Wife!" "Sister!" "Wife!" "Sister!" "She's your wife and my sister." "She was spoiled rotten." "She stole everything I ever had." "Everything." "Including... him." " Him?" "Who, him?" " (violin music)" "(switches off violin music)" "(dramatic music)" "Dwayne." "The boys' gym teacher." "He was older, mature, strong." "He smelled like dirty sweat socks and old basketballs." "And he was all mine for a while." "But Lana wasn't satisfied with her own things." "She had to have mine too." "And she took it all." "My make-up, my sweaters, my shoes, my underwear." " You wore the same underwear?" " We were identical twins." "Twins?" "What are you talking about?" "You two don't look anything alike." "Not any more." "That one's me." "No, that one." "One day, I caught her stealing my fuchsia eye shadow, and she smashed my face in with a shovel." "I had 53 operations." "When the doctors were finished with me, I looked like this." " I'm ugly. ugly." " You're beautiful." "Don't lie to me." "I look in the mirror." "I can see." "He did a terrific job." "What's the name of your doctor?" "Butcher, Dr Sepulveda." "Beverly Hills, 90210." " But you're gorgeous." " Tell that to Dwayne." "When he saw my face, he left me for her, because she looked more like me than I did." "First she stole my looks, then she stole the only man who ever loved me." "But I found a way to get even." "The best revenge possible." "Destroy her marriage." "That's why you did all this." "(slow music)" "(faster music)" "Seduce me." "Harass me." "The tapes, the flowers, the phone calls." " You've been hangin' out with Dick Tracy." " No, it won't work." "Lana loves me." "It doesn't matter." "I'm blackmailing her for everything she's worth." " Blackmail?" " She murdered that auto mechanic." "I saw her do it." "Lana killed Frank Kelbo?" "Kelbo?" "His name was Kelbo?" "Yeah." "Why?" "Did he burn you on car repairs too?" "Dwayne's name was Kelbo." "Oh." "He had a son." "Frank Kelbo." "Oh, God." "The pieces ofthe puzzle were falling into place." "And I didn't like the picture they were making." "IfLana really killed Frank Kelbo, then I had misjudged her by a mile." "Sure, he was a lousy mechanic." "But murder?" "(door creaks)" "(creaking continues)" "(water running)" "(eerie music)" "Lana?" "(loud dramatic music)" "(music stops)" "(dramatic music)" "(music stops)" "(music starts and stops with tap)" "Argh, argh." "Aspirin." "I need an aspirin." " (cat screams)" " Aaah!" "(splashing and meowing)" "(banging)" " I'm glad you're here." "I've so much to say." " Come on in." "I'll make some tea." " Grab a chair." " Oh, thanks." "I brought my own." " So, whaddaya got?" " A lottery ticket and a laundry receipt." "I found them in that suit you wore the night you were working undercover." "You remember that night, don't you?" "And then it hit me." ""Lottery" starts with L-O." ""Laundry" starts with L-A." "L-O-L-A." "Lola." "Don't sweat it." "That's the way a woman's mind works." "We're outta tea." "How about Ovaltine?" "Fine." "Then I remember you told me a guy named Frank had been working on your wife's car for the past few months." " You with me?" " I'm way ahead of you." "Back it up." "You probably took a wrong turn." "Remember the insurance policy?" "The one we couldn't find?" "I started thinking "Who else had access to it, beside you and me?"" "The answer came up." "Lana." "And since she's a woman, it's probably hidden in the cookie jar." " Ha!" " (cat screams)" "So that's where she hid the Oreos." "Ned, Lana wasn't trying to save your life when she shot Max Shady." "She and Frank were plotting to kill you and collect on your insurance policy." "She shot the wrong guy." " This is so unbelievable." " And you haven't even heard my story." "You brat!" "(duck quacks)" "I could never eat Oreos that way, because whenever he saw any disorder, he turned into a raging monster." "So, that's why I left him." " I just couldn't take it any more." " (kettle whistles)" "I'll get that." "(dramatic music starts)" "That damn faucet keeps turning on all by itself." "I'll go check it." "I'll make the Ovaltine." "Oh, God." "(trumpet music)" "Lola." "Lola." "I'm sittin' in for Clarence." "He had a gig in Washington." "Women are an open book." "You can always tell the rotten apples from the peaches." "Anybody ever proves me wrong, I'll throw away... throw away... throw away..." " (record needlejumps) - my badge." "Forget something, darling?" "Aaargh!" "You have the right to remain silent." "(splutters)" "Ha!" "Whaddaya gonna do, Ned, blow me away?" " Argh!" " uhh!" "Oh." "Laura." " Oh, Ned." " Laura." "Laura, you were so right." "There's a million things I don't know about women." "Maybe you could teach me a few, huh?" "Hell, I had too many careers anyway." "Oh, Ned." "I love you." "I always loved you." "(they scream)" "(cat meows)" " Got 'em." " Hah!" " Huh?" " (muffled) I said I got 'em." " What?" " They're dead." "Gone." "Kaput." "Sure I'll marry you, and next Tuesday'll be perfect." "OK, but I wanna have kids." "Great." "So maybe I was wrong." "Maybe women really are like a bigjigsaw puzzle with pieces thatjust don't fit." "All I know is there's three things men can't possibly ever do." "understand women." "Give birth." "And programme the VCR." " Giving birth is the easy one." " Ned?" "Knock off the chatter, will you?" "(saxophone plays "Brown Eyed Girl")" "# Hey, where did we go" "# Days when the rains came?"
