"You know, Lieutenant, I can't help but notice that I'm doing most of the talking here, which is fine." "I guess you're not a morning person, and can I relate to that!" "Before Esperanza brings me that first cup of cappuccino, I am toast." "Forget about it." "It's decaf." "My nutritionist is cutting down my caffeine." "Whoa!" "Turned a little early there." "I was wondering." "In order to capture the essence of the police experience do I get a gun?" "For realism." "I mean, Lieutenant it's not like I'm gonna use the thing." "Although bullets would be nice." "Not if you tied my tongue to your tailpipe and drove me naked across a field of broken glass." "No, no, no!" " Is this about the actor?" " I gave the maggot a chance." "I got to the bathroom and back." "He doesn't belong here." "He belongs in never-never land with his assistants, his maid and the guy who wipes his ass after he pinches off his loaf, OK?" " This is about the actor." " He wants to carry a loaded weapon."

" Do you have kids?" " Uh, no..." "You and Norma come out to the coast, see the premiere of the movie." "You can stay at my house with me." " At your house?" " Do you like the beach?" "What we talked about, the jizzball thing?" "Yeah." "Look, um..." " Would you sign this?" "To Norma?" " Not a problem." "Absolutely." "(both) Norma." "Norma." "Bang, bang Nick Lang." "Thank you." "Thank you." " If there's anything we can do..." " You're doing it." "Thanks." "OK." "Thanks, John." ""Bang, bang"?" "Get my wife on the phone, would you?" "Lieutenant, I was thinking." "I don't really need the gun." "It's probably better to wait a couple of days until I get this cop thing down pat." " What have you got?" "Coroner's report on that guy the Party Crasher took out." "Of course, I'm off the case." "Safety bullets, hollow points." "That figures." "Custom-made." "Look at this thing!" "Looks like that Darth Vader thing we took off the Dead Romeos." "Yeah." "Are they buying from the same guy the Party Crasher is?" " Check this." " Might have to ask the Dead Romeos." " Not me, of course." "I'm off the case." " Sorry to hear it." "I'll be introducing my new partner, Ray Casanov, to the pleasures of a frog dog." "Frog dog, Ray!" "Mmm, tasty!" " Frog dog?" " Ribbet!" "(Moss) Look at this." "I'm moving to Florida, I swear to God." "Get outta the way!" "I guess cops can drive as fast as they want, huh?" "Look, Moss, let's get on the same page here, OK?" "I'm sensing that you're not completely happy with this situation." "That's fine, OK?" "Cos I'm here for one reason only." "You are the best." "You're a heavyweight." "You're a Yoda among cops." "You know Yoda?" "Little guy, big ears, real smart." "So it doesn't matter what you think of me, cos I have respect for you." "And that is where I'm coming from." "Look, dickwad, I don't give a rat's ass where you're coming from." " I just care about where you're going." " Good, we're talking." "Where do I drop you off?" "Where are you staying?" " Give me a name." " I'm staying with you." "Maybe when my asshole learns to chew gum." " I thought this was arranged." " Nobody arranged jackshit with me." "You know, a lot of people would be excited to have Nick Lang in their home." "I'll drop you off at their place." " Listen." " No!" "You listen, you egomaniacal cockroach!" "I got yanked off a case so you could be a cop groupie and now you wanna live in my house?" "I got a job to do." "I don't have time for anybody in my house, this car, my life who isn't a) a cop or b) the Party Crasher." "Got it?" "So that's what this is about." "You're still after this guy." "Give me the name of a hotel or I bounce your ass out at the next light." "I dunno." "Do you think that's a good idea?" "I don't think Captain Brix is gonna like it." "I mean, us being separated, you being back on the case." "Although I'm not gonna mention anything because if you can't trust your partner, who can you trust?" "(dogs barking)" "(people arguing)" " What is that?" " It's a rubber gun." "I got it from props." "It'll help me get into character until I get a gun." "Great." "Dickless Tracy." "(arguing continues)" "Hey, stay here." "Hey, how come I can't come with you?" "Stay." "I sit and roll over, too." "Oh, man." "Oh, this is beautiful." "This is amazing." "Swish." "OK... and tilt." "And..." "Huh!" "I may have to kill you later." "(coughs)" "Hey." "And I looked out, and he was wearing a Mr T starter kit." "You hear this crazy ho?" "Yo, kill that dumb slut!" "Police!" "Get over there." "Don't fuckin' move!" "Let's reacquaint ourselves." "I'm Lieutenant John Moss." "For those of you with short attention spans, you are the Dead Romeos." "Not us, Lieutenant." "We a reading group." "(laughter)" " Shut up!" " Damn, man." "Reading group, huh?" "These don't look like the classics to me." "Those are just shower gifts, homeboy." "I ain't your homeboy, OK?" "You wanna graduate from high school, get decent jobs." "Try white-collar crime, that's where the real money is." "OK, pop quiz." "There is a shooter out there." "He's using hollow-point safety slugs in a retooled. 475 beefed-up gun barrel, laser sight." "Kinda like the gun I took off one of you shits at the BK Liquors." " It wasn't us, man." " Shh." "Yo, yo." "I think the dude thinks he's Babe Ruth." "This is a custom-made gun." "It takes a specialist to make such a gun." " I need a name." " We don't know nothin'." " Get outta the damn way!" " I'm sorry, man." "I couldn't hear that name with the TV." "Joe Gunn is back in "Smoking Gunn II"." "Nick Lang is once again Joe Gunn who hates bad guys, loves bad girls." " Hey, Nick Lang." "He's bad." "Real bad!" " Nick Lang is a faggot." "Yeah, I'm very into environmental causes." "I think a lot of people don't know this." "All of my movies are shot on biodegradable film stock." "Hey, Ange." "It's me, Nickie." "Ange, you're never gonna believe where I am." "(# rap on truck radio)" "No, not the Russian Tea Room." "Do me a favour, don't even guess." "I'm in a ghetto." "No, no, it's not a tour." "Ange, I'm with Moss." "I'm already in the middle of a murder investigation." "Can you believe that?" "I'm gonna get this part." "I'm soaking this up." "You gotta see this place." "It's, like, the grit, the dirt, the crime, the human drama - it's all around you." "You can feel it in the air." "Hey!" "Hey!" "I need that phone!" "I'm calling a cop." "You know there's a cop right inside there." "Come on." "Shit." "Just hang it up, OK?" "It's on my bill." "Just... shit!" "Name, name." "Come on, name." " Witherspoon." " Are you crazy?" "(shouts of protest)" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" " Excuse me, I couldn't hear you." "Who?" " I said the dude's name is Witherspoon." " Where?" " He moves around." "Works out of a van." " He sells guns, whatever kind you want." " (Lang) Moss!" "John, I've been looking all over for you." "They stole my cellular phone and I think it mighta been a gang." " Hi, guys." "Sorry to interrupt." " I told you to wait in the car." " That kid looks just like Nick Lang." " Only shorter, right?" " No, whiter." " (laughter)" "Look, John, I'm sorry." "It's just that they're real pissed off and..." " I said wait in the car." " Oh, great." "(gunshots)" "Get down!" "Get off my foot!" " I don't see no blood." " Ah, chill, man." "Oh, shit!" "(Lang) I got to find my..." "I think I lost a contact out there." "You told them I was in there?" "You led 'em to a rival gang, and to me?" " I was trying to help." " Don't help me." "I had to call this in." "10-4." "Over a dozen cops are coming and I gotta explain what you were doing in a gang war, jackoff!" "Was that great?" "I knew they were a gang." "They had that kind of gang look." "I got a knack for this." "You think you got a knack?" "What was the licence plate of the car?" "That was, uh... a New York plate." "They're blue, right?" "You notice something a little different about our car?" " They stole my bags!" " You shoulda locked 'em in the trunk." "You know, all my clothes were in those bags." "All my stuff!" "At least they didn't steal your rubber gun." "Hey, hey, hey." "Hey, hey, hey." "Look at this." "Look at this." "This could be a clue." "I think they're in this bar." " So?" " So you gotta go in there." " You gotta get my stuff." " "Gotta"?" ""Gotta"?" "Listen, Nick." "May I call you Nick?" "I'd be happy to help you with your problem but, first, you gotta fill out a form." "Then I gotta get assigned to the case." "Then you gotta wait a few days, or weeks." "Fine." "If that's the way you wanna be about it, that's great." "Don't worry about it." "I'll go in there." " I'll get my stuff." " I cannot wait." "(sirens)" "Gee, Moss, we gotta stop meeting like this." "Look, Benny." "I'd appreciate it if you left me out of the report." "Hi, Grainy." "The captain might not like it, me getting the new guy shot at on his first day." " Is that all he wouldn't like?" " What?" "If I didn't know you better, I'd say your mind was still on the Party Crasher case." " It's a good thing you know me better." " Yeah, good thing." "So where is Casanov?" "(yells)" "They didn't have 'em." "(man) And stay the fuck out!" "It's been a bad day." "(man) Look at the love boat." "(car horn plays "La Cucaracha")" "You sure impound didn't have anything more low-profile?" " Frog dog, Billy." " I'll have a frog dog too, Billy." "Hi, Bonnie." "Is your mother home?" "No, this isn't Mr Tibor." "This is..." "No, it's not Frankie either." "No, it's not Alphonse." "What are these?" "Like, guys your mom works with?" "No, this is John Moss." "Ah." "Well... hello?" "(line goes dead)" "OK, then I'll call back later." "OK, bye." " Yo, Bill." " How ya doin', Lieutenant?" "(French accent) Frog dog, huh!" "Next time, invite the kid." " What?" " On your date." "Bring the daughter along." "I don't know what the hell you're talkin' about." "Oh, do you have any Grey Poupon?" "A single mother." "Daughter never had a dad." "Doesn't trust men, especially ones around her mom." "You wanna get next to this woman, but you can't catch a break from the kid." "I know, it's a gift." "Why would I wanna bring the daughter along?" "Never mind." "What the hell am I talking about this with you for?" " Banzai!" " Konnichiwa." " Oh, Bill." " Oh, Bill." "Good stuff." "You eat like this all the time?" "Probably not the best idea from a health point of view." "You know, if you be good to your bowels, then they will be good to you." "Your nutritionist, right?" "Do you want her number, John?" "Bravo, Bill!" "Oh, Bill, good." "OK." "Knock that shit off, all right?" "It's like carrying a goddamn mirror around." "Don't eat like me, don't sit like me, and do not smoke like me." " I'm trying to quit, anyway." " Me too." "And don't quit like me either." "All right?" " John, an actor's job is to..." " Lang, I don't care." "All right!" "Just stop!" "All right." "OK." "Tell me about the Party Crasher." "What's this guy's programme?" "He kills four people right in front of you?" " What does it take to do that?" " The guy's nuts." "Too many birds in his antenna." "I dunno what the hell it takes." "He's crazy." " You ever kill anybody?" " Counting today?" "John, my character kills a guy, probably an innocent bystander." " I wanna know what that's like." " You can't." "Open up!" "I wanna know what it's like to be inside your skin." "I don't want you inside my skin!" "It's private." "What's in there belongs to me." "You won't learn what it means to be a cop by eating hot dogs and asking questions." "We live this job." "It's something we are, not something we do." "When a cop walks up to a car and has to give a speeding ticket he knows he may have to kill someone or be killed himself." "That's not something you step into by strapping on a rubber gun." "You go back to your million-dollar house, your bimbos and blow jobs." "You get 17 takes to get it right." "We get one take." "It lasts our whole lives." "We mess it up and we're dead." "Fuck, was that great!" "I'm so..." "Look, John." "Can you just do that one more time for me?" "Please?" "John!" "Oh, well." "John Moss, meaning of life." "John!" "(radio) Fourth squad lieutenant." "Homicide in the churchyard." "Party Crasher MO." "(Moss) Stay here." " (Moss) What have you got?" " Same story." "The prick called to say he's coming." "The guy in the church figures it's a crank call." "None of our guys ever had a shot at him." "Some crank call, huh?" "What do we know about the victim?" "How ya doing?" "Neighbourhood transvestite, entertainer, singer." "Never had a chance." " Still no line on the killer?" " What's this prick doin' here?" "Looks like he's got you turned around." " Hey..." " Hey, go tie your dick in a knot!" "Benny, can you write this up?" "What's with you?" "I can't believe he'd kill in broad daylight." "He's a hambone like you, he craves attention." "Know what a hambone hates more than anything else?" " What's that?" " A bad review." "Hey, Frank!" "Frank!" "You want an interview?" "You got it." "Make sure you get a shot of that body." "Lieutenant Moss." "So, what's your assessment of this Party Crasher?" "You don't need a shrink to tell you he's a raving psycho." "Come to think of it, he may not even be a man." "I doubt he's got the equipment for it." "He's probably a pervert." "What is your assessment of this Party Crasher?" "You don't need a shrink to tell you he's a raving psycho." "Come to think of it, he may not even be a man." "I doubt he has the right equipment for it." "He's probably a pervert."

"My trainer's got me on Nautilus and the StairMaster so you don't have to worry about Nick Lang." "Son of a bitch!" "Caught me off guard there." "You know, Lieutenant, I can't help but notice that I'm doing most of the talking here, which is fine." "I guess you're not a morning person, and can I relate to that!" "Before Esperanza brings me that first cup of cappuccino, I am toast." "Forget about it." "It's decaf." "My nutritionist is cutting down my caffeine." "Whoa!" "Turned a little early there." "I was wondering." "In order to capture the essence of the police experience do I get a gun?" "For realism." "I mean, Lieutenant it's not like I'm gonna use the thing." "Although bullets would be nice." "Not if you tied my tongue to your tailpipe and drove me naked across a field of broken glass." "No, no, no!" " Is this about the actor?" " I gave the maggot a chance." "I got to the bathroom and back." "He doesn't belong here." "He belongs in never-never land with his assistants, his maid and the guy who wipes his ass after he pinches off his loaf, OK?" " This is about the actor." " He wants to carry a loaded weapon." " Send that little jizzball in here." " Thank you." "Excuse me, gents." "Sorry to interrupt." " Hi, Captain Brix?" " Yeah." "Nick Lang." "I understand you're in on our secret."

" Do you have kids?" " Uh, no..." "You and Norma come out to the coast, see the premiere of the movie." "You can stay at my house with me." " At your house?" " Do you like the beach?" "What we talked about, the jizzball thing?" "Yeah." "Look, um..." " Would you sign this?" "To Norma?" " Not a problem." "Absolutely." "Norma." "Norma." "Bang, bang Nick Lang." "Thank you." "Thank you." " If there's anything we can do..." " You're doing it." "Thanks." "OK." "Thanks, John." ""Bang, bang"?" "Get my wife on the phone, would you?" "Lieutenant, I was thinking." "I don't really need the gun." "It's probably better to wait a couple of days until I get this cop thing down pat." " What have you got?" "Coroner's report on that guy the Party Crasher took out." "Of course, I'm off the case." "Safety bullets, hollow points." "That figures." "Custom-made." "Look at this thing!" "Looks like that Darth Vader thing we took off the Dead Romeos." "Yeah." "Are they buying from the same guy the Party Crasher is?" " Check this." " Might have to ask the Dead Romeos." " Not me, of course." "I'm off the case." " Sorry to hear it." "I'll be introducing my new partner, Ray Casanov, to the pleasures of a frog dog." "Frog dog, Ray!" "Mmm, tasty!" " Frog dog?" " Ribbet!" "Look at this." "I'm moving to Florida, I swear to God." "Get outta the way!" "I guess cops can drive as fast as they want, huh?" "Look, Moss, let's get on the same page here, OK?" "I'm sensing that you're not completely happy with this situation." "That's fine, OK?" "Cos I'm here for one reason only." "You are the best." "You're a heavyweight." "You're a Yoda among cops." "You know Yoda?" "Little guy, big ears, real smart." "So it doesn't matter what you think of me, cos I have respect for you." "And that is where I'm coming from." "Look, dickwad, I don't give a rat's ass where you're coming from." " I just care about where you're going." " Good, we're talking." "Where do I drop you off?" "Where are you staying?" " Give me a name." " I'm staying with you." "Maybe when my asshole learns to chew gum." " I thought this was arranged." " Nobody arranged jackshit with me." "You know, a lot of people would be excited to have Nick Lang in their home." "I'll drop you off at their place." " Listen." " No!" "You listen, you egomaniacal cockroach!" "I got yanked off a case so you could be a cop groupie and now you wanna live in my house?" "I got a job to do." "I don't have time for anybody in my house, this car, my life who isn't a) a cop or b) the Party Crasher." "Got it?" "So that's what this is about." "You're still after this guy." "Give me the name of a hotel or I bounce your ass out at the next light." "I dunno." "Do you think that's a good idea?" "I don't think Captain Brix is gonna like it." "I mean, us being separated, you being back on the case." "Although I'm not gonna mention anything because if you can't trust your partner, who can you trust?" " What is that?" " It's a rubber gun." "I got it from props." "It'll help me get into character until I get a gun." "Great." "Dickless Tracy." "Hey, stay here." "Hey, how come I can't come with you?" "Stay." "I sit and roll over, too." "Oh, man." "Oh, this is beautiful." "This is amazing." "Swish." "OK... and tilt." "And..." "Huh!" "I may have to kill you later." "Hey." "And I looked out, and he was wearing a Mr T starter kit." "You hear this crazy ho?" "Yo, kill that dumb slut!" "Police!" "Get over there." "Don't fuckin' move!" "Let's reacquaint ourselves." "I'm Lieutenant John Moss." "For those of you with short attention spans, you are the Dead Romeos." "Not us, Lieutenant." "We a reading group." " Shut up!" " Damn, man." "Reading group, huh?" "These don't look like the classics to me." "Those are just shower gifts, homeboy." "I ain't your homeboy, OK?" "You wanna graduate from high school, get decent jobs." "Try white-collar crime, that's where the real money is." "OK, pop quiz." "There is a shooter out there." "He's using hollow-point safety slugs in a retooled. 475 beefed-up gun barrel, laser sight." "Kinda like the gun I took off one of you shits at the BK Liquors." " It wasn't us, man." " Shh." "Yo, yo." "I think the dude thinks he's Babe Ruth." "This is a custom-made gun." "It takes a specialist to make such a gun." " I need a name." " We don't know nothin'." " Get outta the damn way!" " I'm sorry, man." "I couldn't hear that name with the TV." "Joe Gunn is back in "Smoking Gunn II"." "Nick Lang is once again Joe Gunn who hates bad guys, loves bad girls." " Hey, Nick Lang." "He's bad." "Real bad!" " Nick Lang is a faggot." "Yeah, I'm very into environmental causes." "I think a lot of people don't know this." "All of my movies are shot on biodegradable film stock." "Hey, Ange." "It's me, Nickie." "Ange, you're never gonna believe where I am." "No, not the Russian Tea Room." "Do me a favour, don't even guess." "I'm in a ghetto." "No, no, it's not a tour." "Ange, I'm with Moss." "I'm already in the middle of a murder investigation." "Can you believe that?" "I'm gonna get this part." "I'm soaking this up." "You gotta see this place." "It's, like, the grit, the dirt, the crime, the human drama - it's all around you." "You can feel it in the air." "Hey!" "Hey!" "I need that phone!" "I'm calling a cop." "You know there's a cop right inside there." "Come on." "Shit." "Just hang it up, OK?" "It's on my bill." "Just... shit!" "Name, name." "Come on, name." " Witherspoon." " Are you crazy?" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" " Excuse me, I couldn't hear you." "Who?" " I said the dude's name is Witherspoon." " Where?" " He moves around." "Works out of a van." " He sells guns, whatever kind you want." " Moss!" "John, I've been looking all over for you." "They stole my cellular phone and I think it mighta been a gang." " Hi, guys." "Sorry to interrupt." " I told you to wait in the car." " That kid looks just like Nick Lang." " Only shorter, right?" "No, whiter." "Look, John, I'm sorry." "It's just that they're real pissed off and..." " I said wait in the car." " Oh, great." "Get down!" "Get off my foot!" " I don't see no blood." " Ah, chill, man." "Oh, shit!" "I got to find my..." "I think I lost a contact out there." "You told them I was in there?" "You led 'em to a rival gang, and to me?" " I was trying to help." " Don't help me." "I had to call this in." "10-4." "Over a dozen cops are coming and I gotta explain what you were doing in a gang war, jackoff!" "Was that great?" "I knew they were a gang." "They had that kind of gang look." "I got a knack for this." "You think you got a knack?" "What was the licence plate of the car?" "That was, uh... a New York plate." "They're blue, right?" "You notice something a little different about our car?" " They stole my bags!" " You shoulda locked 'em in the trunk." "You know, all my clothes were in those bags." "All my stuff!" "At least they didn't steal your rubber gun." "Hey, hey, hey." "Hey, hey, hey." "Look at this." "Look at this." "This could be a clue." "I think they're in this bar." " So?" " So you gotta go in there." " You gotta get my stuff." " "Gotta"?" ""Gotta"?" "Listen, Nick." "May I call you Nick?" "I'd be happy to help you with your problem but, first, you gotta fill out a form." "Then I gotta get assigned to the case." "Then you gotta wait a few days, or weeks." "Fine." "If that's the way you wanna be about it, that's great." "Don't worry about it." "I'll go in there." " I'll get my stuff." " I cannot wait." "Gee, Moss, we gotta stop meeting like this." "Look, Benny." "I'd appreciate it if you left me out of the report." "Hi, Grainy." "The captain might not like it, me getting the new guy shot at on his first day." " Is that all he wouldn't like?" " What?" "If I didn't know you better, I'd say your mind was still on the Party Crasher case." " It's a good thing you know me better." " Yeah, good thing." "So where is Casanov?" "They didn't have 'em." "And stay the fuck out!" "It's been a bad day." "Look at the love boat." "You sure impound didn't have anything more low-profile?" " Frog dog, Billy." " I'll have a frog dog too, Billy." "Hi, Bonnie." "Is your mother home?" "No, this isn't Mr Tibor." "This is..." "No, it's not Frankie either." "No, it's not Alphonse." "What are these?" "Like, guys your mom works with?" "No, this is John Moss." "Ah." "Well... hello?" "OK, then I'll call back later." "OK, bye." " Yo, Bill." " How ya doin', Lieutenant?" "Frog dog, huh!" "Next time, invite the kid." " What?" " On your date." "Bring the daughter along." "I don't know what the hell you're talkin' about." "Oh, do you have any Grey Poupon?" "A single mother." "Daughter never had a dad." "Doesn't trust men, especially ones around her mom." "You wanna get next to this woman, but you can't catch a break from the kid." "I know, it's a gift." "Why would I wanna bring the daughter along?" "Never mind." "What the hell am I talking about this with you for?" " Banzai!" " Konnichiwa." " Oh, Bill." " Oh, Bill." "Good stuff." "You eat like this all the time?" "Probably not the best idea from a health point of view." "You know, if you be good to your bowels, then they will be good to you." "Your nutritionist, right?" "Do you want her number, John?" "Bravo, Bill!" "Oh, Bill, good." "OK." "Knock that shit off, all right?" "It's like carrying a goddamn mirror around." "Don't eat like me, don't sit like me, and do not smoke like me." " I'm trying to quit, anyway." " Me too." "And don't quit like me either." "All right?" " John, an actor's job is to..." " Lang, I don't care." "All right!" "Just stop!" "All right." "OK." "Tell me about the Party Crasher." "What's this guy's programme?" "He kills four people right in front of you?" " What does it take to do that?" " The guy's nuts." "Too many birds in his antenna." "I dunno what the hell it takes." "He's crazy." " You ever kill anybody?" " Counting today?" "John, my character kills a guy, probably an innocent bystander." " I wanna know what that's like." " You can't." "Open up!" "I wanna know what it's like to be inside your skin." "I don't want you inside my skin!" "It's private." "What's in there belongs to me." "You won't learn what it means to be a cop by eating hot dogs and asking questions." "We live this job." "It's something we are, not something we do." "When a cop walks up to a car and has to give a speeding ticket he knows he may have to kill someone or be killed himself." "That's not something you step into by strapping on a rubber gun." "You go back to your million-dollar house, your bimbos and blow jobs." "You get 17 takes to get it right." "We get one take." "It lasts our whole lives." "We mess it up and we're dead." "Fuck, was that great!" "I'm so..." "Look, John." "Can you just do that one more time for me?" "Please?" "John!" "Oh, well." "John Moss, meaning of life." "John!" "Fourth squad lieutenant." "Homicide in the churchyard." "Party Crasher MO." "Stay here." " What have you got?" " Same story." "The prick called to say he's coming." "The guy in the church figures it's a crank call." "None of our guys ever had a shot at him." "Some crank call, huh?" "What do we know about the victim?" "How ya doing?" "Neighbourhood transvestite, entertainer, singer." "Never had a chance." " Still no line on the killer?" " What's this prick doin' here?" "Looks like he's got you turned around." " Hey..." " Hey, go tie your dick in a knot!" "Benny, can you write this up?" "What's with you?" "I can't believe he'd kill in broad daylight." "He's a hambone like you, he craves attention." "Know what a hambone hates more than anything else?" " What's that?" " A bad review." "Hey, Frank!" "Frank!" "You want an interview?" "You got it." "Make sure you get a shot of that body." "Lieutenant Moss." "So, what's your assessment of this Party Crasher?" "You don't need a shrink to tell you he's a raving psycho." "Come to think of it, he may not even be a man." "I doubt he's got the equipment for it." "He's probably a pervert." "What is your assessment of this Party Crasher?" "You don't need a shrink to tell you he's a raving psycho." "Come to think of it, he may not even be a man." "I doubt he has the right equipment for it." "He's probably a pervert." "Whoever he is, he is gutless, he is pathetic, and when his luck runs out I am gonna be on him like a bum on a baloney sandwich." "You got that, you chickenshit, wherever you are?" "That's a promise from me to you." "...me to you." "...me to you." "...me to you." "...me to you." "Me to you." "Me to you." "Me to you." "Whoa." "Look at this." " When's your housekeeper coming?" " My what?" "Well, you know." "You think cops live in filth, like in the movies?" "No, it's just that you gotta admit, John filth has a certain reality to it, a certain edge." "Not that this doesn't." "I mean, this is very fresh, very unexpected." "Hey, you play piano?" "Look who's back in town." "Where there's fire, there's smoke." "Where there's smoke..." "You know the high part?" "My dad played." "Ah!" "Now that's what I mean." "Cop's dad plays piano." "That's a great notion." "I love that." "It's got its own reality, its own authenticity." " It's very unexpected..." " It's my life." "Too bad I can't use it." "Nobody'd believe it." "Hey, look at this." "Got my billboard down the street." "Good." "You'll be sleeping close to the one you love." "Hi, Nickie." "How are you?" "It's Stacy." "Stacy?" "Stacy?" "You gave out my number at home?" "Hey, John..." "People find me wherever I go." "It's like a curse." "Do you think I like not having any privacy?" "Bye-bye now." "Hi, Nickie, it's me." "I'd love to get together." "Hi, Nickie, it's Roger." " Roger." "I knew it." " Hi, Nickie, it's Francine." "Remember me from the Ramada Inn?" "God!" "Whoa!" "Francine, she's got a sister..." "The Ramada Inn?" "Jesus!" " Thank you, John." " Hi, it's Susan." "Susan!" "Oh, shit." "Hi, it's Susan." "You didn't call so I'm calling to remind you about..." "We were supposed to be at Sal's for pizza at 8.00." "... for pizza at 8.00." "Oh, man!" "Jesus!" "All right, bye." "Good hands, buddy!" "Put it up!" "Put it up!" "Come on!" "Yeah!" "John Moss." "The private side." "What have we got here?" "Bill." "Con Ed." "Huh?" "A little over on your Mastercard, John." "In the fridge we got three beers, domestic baking soda, some kind of mystery meat." "Whoa!" "Some very old cheese." "Lacking in vitamins B, C and E. Explains the temper, John." "Closet." "Socks - green, black." "Gun." "Gun?" "It's my life." "It's my life." "No shit, punk." "It's my life!" " What's the matter?" "Find a split end?" " I've been counting." "You have seven different facial expressions." "So, a date, huh?" "It'd be an education to see what you're like with a woman." "A situation fraught with sexual tension." "Don't suppose you wanna make it a threesome, huh?" "Eight facial expressions." "Nine." "Ten." "Wow!" "I'll tell you what." "I don't have to go." "I'll just..." "Do what you do in Hollywood." "Rum drinks, fern bar, gerbil racing." "Take that gun out of your pants before you shoot your dick off." "Gerbil racing!" " So, what are we getting?" " I dunno." "You wanna share an extra large, everything on it?" " You like anchovies?" " I hate..." "love anchovies." "They're my favourite part." " I hate them." " Right." "OK, good." "Why don't we get a pizza half with anchovies, half without?" "Sometimes they slide to the other side." "That's only when the cook forgets to kill them first." " You haven't told us how you got hurt." " A little accident on the job." "A little accident?" "This is our third date, our fourth date." "You know everything about me." "You know where I was born, about my parents the names of Bonnie's teachers..." " How much you weigh." "How much I weigh." "And I know you're a cop who hates to talk about himself." "I don't hate to talk about myself." " Yeah, you do." " Yeah, I do." "So I tell you what." "We're not saying a word until you tell us something personal." "Something you love, something you hate." " Something I hate." " John?" "John Moss!" "Unbelievable." "You and me, same place." "What are the odds of that happening?" "They say New York's a big town." "Somebody told me that Sal's had great pizza and I figured it was either here or the sushi bar." "I hate those drunken sushis." "You must be Bonnie." "John said you had a great laugh." "Susan, hi." "Ray Casanov, John's partner." "Nice to meet the woman who turned this big lug's head." "You know, you look just like Nick Lang." "You think so?" "Do you like Nick Lang?" "I used to when I was little." "I like Mel Gibson now." "I love him." "I love Mel Gibson." " Moss?" "I got a table ready for you." " Great." "Great to see you, Ray." "You're probably headed the other way." " Do you wanna eat with us?" " No, he couldn't." "No, I spend all day with John." "I'm his partner..." "Crash." "Crash, crash, crash." "Wherever you are, that's a promise from me to you." "You to me." "You to me, huh?" "...me to you." "...me to you." "...me to you." "You to me." "No, me to you!" " ... me to you." " Me to you!" "...me to you." "# Shame on you, you cried in bed" "# Shame on you, you told a lie" "# Big girls don't cry" " Everybody!" " # Big girls..." "# Don't cry-ay-ay" "# They don't cry" "Come on, John." "Come on, come on." "Sing along." "Did you forget the words?" "# An alibi" "I tell ya, I went nuts." "I wanted to take her, right there in the office on the desk." "Is that the one from payroll with the jugs?" "I get a world-class woody every time I go down there." "Hey, guys." "We got some ladies here." " Bet that's a first!" " John, it's OK." "Forget about it." " It's not OK." "Your daughter's here." " Don't worry." "I know what a woody is." " How do you know what a woody is?" " Why don't we move to another table?" " Hey, guys, keep it down." " Man, keep this down!" "Jay!" "You faggot!" "You homo..." "Excuse me." " Hey!" " Hey, what's your problem?" "What did you say?" "John, just forget about it!" "Hey, asshole!" "Sit down!" " Get on the table." " Break his face!" "This is ridiculous." "Come here!" "Hey, leave him alone." " I would sit down." " I said, sit down!" "It's all right, folks." "I'm a police officer." "Ray, show 'em your badge." "Oh." "NYPD." "NYPD." "And call Midtown." "Tell 'em it's a 10-85." "Can we go now?" "I think Bonnie's seen enough." "John, get the check." "Hey, get down there!" "Put your hands on the table." " I gotta go to the precinct." " Can't Ray do that?" "Put your hands on the table." " No, he can't." " All right, maybe he can escort us home." " Hey!" "Susan!" " It was great!" "Susan." " Hey, they got home OK." " Oh, it's you." "Sorry about Sal's." "I was gonna meet 'em and leave." "I had no idea they'd ask me to stay." "She's nice, Susan." "So's Bonnie." "Decided to take her along, huh?" " She hates me." " Buy her a pony." " I'm talking about Susan." " So buy her a horse." "Hey, can I get a beer?" "Susan doesn't hate you." "She's just gettin' to know you." "You gotta..." "Can I offer you a little advice?" "No, you can't." "No." "No." "No." "Loosen up a little bit, OK?" "Seriously." "Just..." "let her in." " Bare your soul a little." " Hollywood horseshit." "Where'd you get that last one from?" "I can help you, John." "I'm serious." "I got it." "Pretend I'm Susan." " What?" " Go with me." "This is what I do." "I pretend I'm other people." "If you loosen up a little bit, you might learn something." "Now, I'm Susan." "You're John." "No, you're sick and I'm thirsty." "OK, maybe I can get us started here." "Well?" "Well, what?" "Talk to me, John." "Tell me what I wanna hear." "Get away from me." "Who is this guy?" "See?" "You never talk to me." "You always keep me at a distance." "You treat me like a princess that you can't touch." "Well, maybe I wanna be touched, John." " Hey, hey." " Maybe I wanna be manhandled." "This is crazy." "Don't do this to me here, OK?" " Other men can talk to me." " What other men?" "What other men?" " Can I get a Dubonnet, please?" " Is she seeing other men?" " See how he wants to talk?" " Listen, Lang." " Lang!" " Susan." " Whoever." " Susan." "Is she seeing other men?" "Frankie?" "Alphonse?" "Hm?" "Mr Tibor?" "Come on." "Who?" "Come on." "Susan." "Su..." "Sss..." "Susan." "Susan." " Yes, John?" " Is she..." "Are you seeing other men?" "No, John." "It's only you." "That's why it's so hard." "I want you, John." "But you just won't let me in." " Thank you." " Just a little..." " Ridiculous." " I thought you were quitting for me." " This is too strange." " I'll tell you what's strange." "That somebody so strong isn't confident in who he is." " That's bullshit!" " Don't take that tone with me." " Look... honey." " Honey's good." "Ever since my divorce, yes, every time I get serious about a woman, I get scared." " How many women have there been?" " None, except for my wife." " And me." " And you." "I mean, not you..." "So how do you know you get scared every time?" "This is just like a woman." "You turn it around, give it a twist, you stick it in." "God!" "You know what?" "I am outta here." "Bye." "Keep your little Dubonnet." "I'm gone." "Ah, men." "You son of a bitch!" "You son of a bitch!" "I can't even go to the bathroom!" "Mr Witherspoon?" "Not looking for the repeat customers, huh?" "Ohh!" "Givin' me a hard-on, here." "Try skipping' a few meals." "Somewhere, there's a small country going hungry." "What's the matter with this guy?" "Cat got your tongue?" "We don't know who got it." "Got bit off in a street fight last year." "He won." " That's my daughter." " She's beautiful." "Thank you." "She's with me once a month." " Likes to play while I do business." " Speaking of business..." "Speaking of business." "Our mutual friend indicated to you that I'm looking for a bored-out. 45 that can't be traced, something that won't blow up in my hands." "I can't help you." "I don't know nothin' from guns." " Right." " This man sounds like a cop." "Cop!" "Why?" "Cos I don't like being fondled in public by some fat guy with a crush?" "It's a joke." "I got money, plenty of money, Mr Witherspoon." "I got..." "Hey!" "Mr Witherspoon, look." "No, no." "It's just..." "I got nowhere else to turn." "There's this guy." "He's all over me." "It's a friggin' nightmare." "He's forced his way into my life." "He's told me, face-to-face, that he wants to be me." "He moved into my apartment, moved into my house, moved into my job." "What's next?" "You know?" "My old lady?" "I know it." "Everywhere I look, I see his smiling face." "I turn on the goddamn TV and I hear his voice, ya-ta-ta-ta, at me all the time!" "You gotta help me." "I have got to get rid of this guy." "Please?" "Passionate man!" " Watch Julie for me." " Thank you." "Oh, come to Papa." "Oh, no!" " Moss?" " Hi." "It's Susan." " Oh, hi, Susan." " Is John home?" " No." "No, John's not here." " Maybe later he'll be home." "No." "No, I..." "I'm not quite sure." " Do you think we could have lunch?" " Lunch?" "Me and you?" " Yeah, you and me." " Susan, that would be... that'd be great." " OK, good. 12.00?" " Yeah." "Right." "Got it." "OK, I'll be there." "Uh-huh." "If I'm not still handcuffed to the goddamn sofaaaaa!" "I have to be careful." "You understand." "The police frown on the guns I make." "People have occasionally used them for socially irresponsible acts, but what am I supposed to do?" "Exactly." " Thank you." " Thank you." "This is it." "This is just what I was looking for." "It is a beautiful gun." "Oh, by the way, remember when I said I wasn't a cop?" "I was acting." "Not bad, huh?" "No training." "Can you believe people get paid for that?" "Don't even think about it!" "You made a gun like this with a laser sight, for someone else." "Tall guy, muscular build." "You're gonna help me find him." " What did he do?" " He's been blowing holes in people." " The Party Crasher?" " Where is he now?" "I didn't know." "He meets me." "Gives me some design specs." "I do 'em." "I figure he was a gun fanatic." "He's waiting for a gun I got now in the shop." "Well, you're gonna meet him tomorrow." "You got it?" "O..." "O..." "OK." "I'm sorry I'm late." "It's just been one of those mornings." " Couldn't get out of bed?" " No." "I mean, no." "No, I just... just busy down at the precinct." "You know, this and that." " Did you order?" " Yeah." "I didn't know if you were coming." "It's all right." "I'll just find something real quick here." "All right." "OK." "Excuse me." "Oh!" "I, uh... took this perp in this morning and I lost the key down a drain after I un-cuffed him." "OK." "Can I have the number six, with romaine instead of iceberg lettuce sprouts if they're fresh, and a mustard vinaigrette?" "No." "You can have what's on the menu, though." " Can I have an Evian with lemon?" " I got tap water with ice." "Fine." "The reason I asked you here is... well, is John." " You guys are pretty close, right?" " Oh, yeah." "Course." "You might say John's been a role model for me." "On our first date, I thought "Wow, who is this guy?"" "He was so attentive, he was so giving and he was such a good listener but by the 2nd and 3rd date, I thought "I wish this guy would loosen up maybe talk about himself. "" "Maybe he's just not interested." " Oh, he is." " Yeah?" "Susan, believe me." "See, I just met you." "How come I feel closer to you than I do to him?" "Well, that's..." " We haven't even slept together yet." " Well, no, I..." "I want to." "I used to have this speech impediment." "I couldn't say no." "Bonnie cured me of that." "She cured me of a lot of things." "Never thought I'd date a cop." "What's it like?" "It's kinda hard to put into words." "I mean, we live this job." "It's something we are, not something we do." "You can't become a cop by strappin' on a gun and ridin' around all day." "When a cop walks up to give someone a speeding ticket he knows he might have to kill someone, or be killed himself." "People think this job is like in the movies, where you get 17 takes to get it right." "We get one take... and it lasts our whole lives." "We mess it up and we're dead!" "Wow." "I wish John would express himself like that." "You know, like... mm!" "I'm sorry." "I just get..." "It's nice having a police escort home." " You like kids?" " Yeah, yeah." "Kids are great." "They're like little people." "You were a big hit with Bonnie last night." "Well, Bonnie's great." "Susan, listen." "This isn't right." "OK?" "I know where this is going and it's all wrong." " What's all wrong?" " It happens to me all the time." "But it's best if we drop it now, put it behind us, and nobody'll get hurt." " Ray, I don't..." " I don't know what it is." "Maybe it's cos I look like Nick Lang." "Women go for that boyish type but it's not fair to John." " Ray, wait a minute." "Did you think..." "I mean, this isn't about you..." "I mean, you don't think I'm attracted to you?" "You know." "No, no." "Come on." "You attracted to me?" " No." "Why would you be attracted to me?" " I'm sorry." "Of course, maybe if you got to know me better." " What we got here?" " Leave her alone!" "Don't worry." "Shh." "He's a cop." "Ray?" " It's not my jurisdiction." " You gotta do something." "Transit cops get bent out of shape if you butt in on their busts." "This is useless junk, Grandma!" "What else you got?" " Move over, doll." " Stop it!" " Ray!" " Leave her alone!" " Give me my purse!" " Where's the cash?" "Check the money." " Ray, you gotta stop them!" " All right." "OK." "All right, hold it right there." "NYPD." "Hey, fuck off, pig!" "What'd you say?" "Shit!" "Holy shit." "Let's get the fuck outta here!" "Are you a cop or aren't you?" "All right." "You're under arrest!" "You pig!" "Oh, shit!" "Where the fuck are we?" "Let's get the fuck outta here!" " Freeze!" " Die, pig!" "What am I doing?" "What're you..." "Get outta here!" "Motherfucker!" "Somebody call a cop!" "I mean, another cop besides me." "It could be a hostage situation." "Be cool." " Come on, let's go!" " We gotta get out of here." "Shoot him already!" "Don't make me use this!" "Ray's pinned down and he won't shoot cos of the people standing around." "Ray?" "Get her outta here." " What are you doing?" " Damn!" "Fuckin' locked!" "He's out of bullets." "He's out of bullets!" "Then go get him." "Police report'll look better with your name on it, John." "Damn it!" "Come on, come on!" " Kill him now!" " Fuck." "Shit!" "Step back, motherfucker!" "I'm gonna blow your head off!" "Step back." "I'm not jokin'." "Thanks for the warning." "Up against the wall and keep your mouth shut!" "Boy, I could've done that." " I was right." "No bullets." " You were wrong." "Misfire." "We'll talk later." "I better get this job." "Oh, Ray, what happened?" "You OK?" " I'm fine." " Can I talk to my partner?" "What the hell's going on?" "Coincidence?" "You wanted to see a New York subway and you happened to be on the one Susan was on!" " I invited him to lunch." " You what?" " I can explain." " You don't have to." "First you bust up our date." "Then you're having lunch with my girlfriend!" "Oh, cut the jealousy bit." "You got no right." "Take a few pointers from Ray." "He knows how to deal with people." "And from what I saw, he's probably a better cop." "While you were probably trashing pizza parlours, he was dealing with real felons without losing his head." "Goodbye." "Call me." "I can't believe you just..." "You just kissed him?" "You kissed his face?" "And where are my handcuffs?" "I have to pay for those!" "I wanted to talk to you about that." "Why would you handcuff me to the bed?" "I was good in there, John." "Seriously." "We were major cojones!" "So what is this?" "What?" "What?" "!" "I know." "OK." "I left him on his own." "Guilty as charged, sir." "But... the guy's OK, right?" "Not that that's any excuse." "You won't like that this happened while I was working on the Party Crasher case." "But before you say what you have every right to say, listen to this." "I know where the Party Crasher's gonna be tomorrow." "If we get every available car, call the shots ourselves, we can drop him cold!" " How?" " He's gonna pick up a gun tomorrow." "We get there first." "OK?" "Get Pooley, Grainy and anybody else you can round up." "Captain, thank you." "OK, great!" " Now I get rid of Nick Lang..." " No, Moss, you stay with Lang and you do what I told you and stay off this case." "Until Lang goes home, he does not leave your sight." "Not to clip his toenails, nothing." "Go near anything more dangerous than a coffee shop, you'll be an ex-policeman." " You can't do this to me." " Yes, I can." "Watch me!" "Yeah?" "Yeah." "OK." "OK." "Yes, sir" "I'm not giving up on this case." "I don't give a shit what your buddy Captain Brix says." "That maniac's gotta be stopped and I'm gonna do it." "I tracked him down." "Me." "I'm gonna be there when they take this prick down." "With you or without you." " Hey, John." "About Susan..." " I don't wanna talk about it." "Crasher task-force unit." "Male caller has the Party Crasher at 14122nd." " This may be the Party Crasher." " Six blocks away!" "Shit." "I don't like it." "No backup." "I don't like you being here." "I don't like playing wet nurse." "You could've gotten yourself killed in that subway." "If you're gonna be here, you got a right to protect yourself." "Loaded." "That is the trigger." "Do not move from this car!" "You sit here, you watch that door." "If he comes out, you tell me which way he went." "Period." " Got it?" "That gun is only for emergencies." " Right." " You got it?" " I got it!" "It's for emergencies." "Don't move." "Police!" " John?" " Shit!" " Moss?" " Look out!" "Get down!" "Get out, Lang!" "Oh, shit, John." "He's coming at me!" "What do I do?" " Get back to the car." "Call for backup!" " I'll go call for backup." "You got him?" "Jesus, Lang, what'd you do?" " What?" " You shot the wrong guy." " Wrong guy?" " Jesus, Lang." "Where's the shooter?" "This is some street guy trying to get out." "What?" "You didn't tell me there was more than one guy." "This guy doesn't even have a gun." "Didn't you look?" "Damn it!" " He's dead." " Oh, God!" "Oh, God." "I ju..." "I just..." "It's over." "It's over for me." "My life is over!" "What am I talking about?" "I killed an unarmed guy!" "A street guy." "Give me your gun." "Give me your gun!" "Get in the car." " You're arresting me." " Shut up and let me think!" "Get in!" "Damn it!" "Ah, Jesus." " Oh, God." "Oh, God." " All right." "You're a civilian who shot an unarmed man with a police-issue weapon, and I let you do it." "If you take the rap for this, we both lose our careers." "If I tell 'em I did it, maybe I can make it look more heroic." "OK." "My fingerprints are on this gun." "You were never here." "You understand?" "You were never here." "I was never here." "I was never here." "I was never here." "I was... never here." "You're an actor." "Pretend it never happened." "Go back, host charity balls, save whales whatever it takes to make it OK." " How can I forget?" " You can't." " There's gonna be an investigation." " I've been through 'em before." "Oh, man!" " How come you're doing this for me?" " I don't know." "Listen, if you need anything, money, a suit for the trial, a lawyer..." " I'll call you as soon as I get back." " No." "Whatever you do, never call me." " You understand?" " Right." "John." "Nick." "Continental Airlines flight 23 to Los Angeles is now ready for boarding." "Passengers in first class..." "Hi." "May I have your ticket please?" "What am I doing?" "Where's Moss?" " China, where's Moss?" " Wherever you're not." "Whatever he said he did, he did it for me." "He didn't even do it." "I did it." " What?" " I wanna make a full confession." "Do I look like a priest?" "Don't try talking me out of it cos my mind's made up." ""Moss, Moss!" "Help me, Moss!"" ""He's coming straight at me." "What should I do?"" "I come bursting through the door, like a maniac." "This imbecile, his eyes are completely closed, squeezes off a few shots." "So I slap my chest, go flying down the stairs, head over heels and land right on top of the fuckin' guy." "Now he's sittin' there..." "I'm dyin' on a piss, holding my breath." "Next thing I know, Moss is going into this incredible performance, going "Don't worry, Nick." "It's OK."" ""I'll take the fall for you." "You go back to Hollywood. "" "And he believes him!" "It was unreal." "He sticks the kid on a plane and he gets him outta his hair." " Moss is back on the case." " He's on that sting operation." "Nick." "Nickie, baby!" "You sharpshooter!" "We heard about you." ""It never happened, Nick." "I'll take the fall for you, Nick. "" "Son of a bitch!" "You stupid..." "Stakeouts." "Do you get haemorrhoids sitting here, like, forever?" "I think I had 'em the last 13 years." " I hate it." " Can't do nothin' about it." " I might try hypnosis." " That shit don't work." "Something's gotta work." "With you, I don't know what works." "Love certainly isn't doing it." "He's half an hour late." " I don't like it." " I don't like this either." "I could've been home watching the Nacho Prince against the Cuchi Frito Kid." "WrestleMania 14." "Pay-per-view." "Fuck no." "We're here hanging out with you." "Oh, shit." "Here he comes!" "Oh, boy." "That's him." "We've got contact." "Stay on your toes." "Wait for the signal." " It's beautiful." " Thank you very much." "It's beautiful!" "Damn it!" "I bet you can hear me, Lieutenant Moss." "I just bet you can." "I think it's time we had a talk." "I think it's time we got to know each other." "You obviously, you just don't understand what I'm trying to do." "Don't make me kill him!" " High noon." " Moss, watch your ass, man." "Relax, Benny." "Yo!" "Close enough." "I've been looking forward to this meeting my opponent." "Tell me, Lieutenant, why are you doing this?" "Doing what, exactly?" "Why are you treating me like a criminal?" "I don't know." "Because... you are one?" "No, I'm not." "You're a police officer." "You should understand what I'm trying to do." "We're playing the same game, Lieutenant." "We're hooked into the same programme." "I haven't done anything wrong." "Anything." "I killed a pimp." "I killed a drug dealer." "I kill the people that make your life difficult." " You killed a four-year-old girl." " You sacrifice pawns." "You play chess, Lieutenant?" "I would've been a great cop." "Better than you." "Because I'm smarter than you." "I'm smarter and I'm better than you are!" "OK." "OK." "You wanna be a cop?" "Uh..." "Maybe it's not too late." "I could put in a word." "We could work something out." "Hey, Lieutenant... you think I'm stupid?" "I was... hoping you were stupid but, no, I don't think you're stupid." "A little crazy, maybe." "Don't shoot!" "He'll blow the place up." "I'm standing in the shit." "Game's over!" "Go!" "Go!" "You stupid idiot!" "Crasher on foot, heading west on 75th Street near Broadway." "Shit!" "I'm at the Beacon Theater, in pursuit of the Party Crasher." "There you are, you son of a bitch!" " Police officer." " Can I help you?" " See a man, red shirt, blonde hair?" " No." "If you see him, do not interact with him." " Police." " Yeah, and where's your badge?" "Hey, come back here!" "Shit." "Move outta the way." "I didn't pay to see your butt." "Put a cork in it." "Hey, guys." "I'm over here." "Oh!" "Oh, my God, no!" "No!" "No!" "No, God, no." "Moss, look out!" "Stay down!" "Stay down!" "Joe, you gotta help me!" "Hang on." "I'm comin'." "Aaagh!" "No!" "OK, hold it." "Freeze." "Hey, asshole!" "Aaagh!" "Aaagh!" "Aaaaagh!" "Aaaagh!" "Moss!" "Keep him alive for trial." "That's all I ask." "What the hell is he doing here?" "He's a murderer." "You don't have a gun." " Moss?" " What?" "What?" "You're a dead man." "It'll be easy." "I killed once, I can kill again." "Look." "I was gonna leave a message on your phone machine, all right?" "You made me think I killed somebody." "Do have any idea what that feels like?" "Would you stop hitting me in the face?" "You got a minute?" "OK, lock it up." "You wanted to know what it feels like to be a cop what it feels like to kill someone." "Well, now you know." "It feels like shit, huh?" "I finally know what it feels like to be you." "It sucks." "Susan, me... we wanted to like you." "But, no, nobody gets in, right?" "It's private." "That's not what I call it, John." "I call it lonely." "Hey, Nick." "Damn!" "I hate it when he does that!" " Is that male bonding?" " Yeah, that's like talking to my ex-wife." "I'm so stupid!" "Just keep driving." "You talking to me?" " Are you talking to me?" " Shut up and keep driving." "You know, I hate it when people don't say "Please. "" "Slow down." "Aaagh!" "I got a growth in my head the size of a summer squash." " I got a month to live, so..." " You're shitting me." "I'm not shitting anything." "See, it starts with the tumour and it goes to the colon." "Hey, I'm drivin' here!" "I'm drivin' here." "Let's go out like men." "Let's go out with a bang!" " Pull over now!" " Drop the gun!" " I said "pull over"." "Pull the fuck over!" " Drop the gun!" " Drop the gun." " Stop the car." " Drop the gun." " Stop the car." "I knew you'd see things my way." "Yeah. 10-4." "This is Officer Casanov." "I got the Party Crasher in the back of my unit." "Got him all giftwrapped for delivery." "No need to thank me." "It's all part of the job." "Over and out." "You want something done right, goddamn it, call an actor." "No." "That was a riveting performance." "Yeah." "Thanks, Crash." "Now eat this!" "I hate your movies!" "A little glamour found its way into the fourth precinct." "We're here with box-office champ, Nick Lang star of the new smash, "Smoking Gun II"." "Lang spent last night at NYU hospital after a dangerous struggle with the notorious Party Crasher." "I asked him "What was it like being face-to-face with a real-life bad guy?"" "Tammy, it wasn't a lot of fun." "I kept waiting for somebody to yell "Cut. "" "The Party Crasher is still at large..." " Next time bring your keys, asshole!" " You have a lot of explaining to do." "What is it with you and this so-called partner?" " I can explain." " You lied to me." "He lied to me." " He's a liar." " Is this some kind of joke?" "No." "Sweetheart, it's..." "It's not a joke." "It's..." "This thing just kinda got outta hand." "Can you sit down?" " I don't wanna sit down." " Please." "OK?" "I, uh..." "I..." "The way I feel about you I haven't felt about a woman in a long, long time." "So, maybe we could, uh you know, start over." "I mean..." "This is hard to say but I've been thinking a lot about it and we can't have a relationship." "Sure we can, cos I can change." "I'll try harder." "It's not that." "It's not you." "You're fine." "It's what you do." "It's..." "It's..." "It's all the violence." "I have spent my life trying to run away from that." "I cannot put Bonnie in a position where she doesn't know if her father's gonna come home alive." "Yeah, I understand." "Sure." "Cops are too angry, too violent." "Too risky to care about until you need one." "Then we're the Second Coming, aren't we?" "I understand that one all right." "Susan?" " I figured it out!" " Aw, shit." " The Crasher's coming here to get you." " Nick, please." "It's the third act." "The killer tries to get revenge on the cop." "It makes it more personal." "What is this?" "Some kind of story conference?" "This is real life, Nick." "The killer stays as far away from the cops as possible." "Don't you get it?" "All right, maybe he goes after someone close to you." "Or maybe he decapitates your horse or boils your rabbit." "I don't have a horse or a rabbit and I don't have anyone close to me." " Susan!" "He's gonna try to hurt Susan." "Wrong." "Susan just dumped me." "Any other bright ideas?" " Susan just dumped you?" " Didn't you just see her in the elevator?" "No." " You didn't... pass her in the lobby?" " No." " Hello?" " It's me." "I got your girl." " What I really want is you." " Where are you?" "I'm at the top of the world, with your buddy, Nick Lang." " You scumbag, where are you?" " You're the detective, you figure it out." " Let me speak to Susan." " She's an angel but she doesn't have wings." "Get it?" "Oh, God." "Oh, God, no!" ""The top of the world with your buddy, Nick Lang. "" " You don't have to do this, you know." " Yeah, I know." "Susan!" "Grab my hand, grab my hand!" "Susan!" "Susan!" "Oh, Jesus." "Oh, God!" "Whooooo-ya!" "Grab my hand!" "Yes!" "Come on, come on!" "Oh, God!" "You're not a real hero." "People need real heroes." " Wait, wait!" "Hold on!" " You got me?" "OK, OK." "Don't let go." "Quit smoking, you little cockroach!" "Come on." "All right." "Hey!" "Hey!" " Where's Nick?" " I got him!" "I got him!" "I'm gonna get that son of a bitch." "Susan!" "Susan!" "Hey, yo!" "Check this out, man." "John!" "Help!" "Susan!" "Susan!" "Oh, God." "Susan!" "Hang on!" "Oh, God." "Just hang on!" "Son of a bitch!" "John!" "Don't let go." "And don't look down." "OK." "Ohh!" " I think he went to get your gun." " I'll take care of him." "You go after her." "Oh, no!" "John!" "Ah, my shoe." "Shit!" "That was a Ferragamo." " Hurry!" " Susan!" "I'm coming!" "Susan!" "Hurry!" "It's OK." "All right, I'm coming down." "I hate these fucking billboards." "OK." "You gotta reach, Susan." "Grab my wrist." "All right." "Oh, my God!" " Grab my wrist!" " Oh, my God!" "Hurry!" "Hey, asshole!" "Come on." "OK, I got you." "I will kill you!" "Go on, kill me!" "Fuck!" "Son of a bitch!" "Hello!" "Goodbye." "This isn't the movies, stupid!" "Nick." "Oh, God." " John, it's OK." "I'm not..." "I'm not shot." " Jesus." " If I was shot, I'd feel something, right?" " That's the way it works." "In five minutes, you'll wish you didn't feel anything." " Hold on." "You're gonna make it." " You were right." " You're gonna make it." "Hold on." " I don't feel so hot all of a sudden." "Why did you come back?" "Why did I ever let you up here in the first place?" "I had to get the part." "It's a great part." "Do you think I woulda got it?" "Yeah, pal." "I think you woulda nailed it." "Oh, man." "This is too real!" "Hold on, Nick." "Come on, man." "Just hold on." "Oh, man." "Where are they?" "You're gonna make it." "Just hold on." " Is he gonna be OK?" " He's tougher than he looks." "Easy." "Are you finally happy, Nick?" "Answer me." "You got what you wanted." "This is what you wanted." "Real bad guys." "Real bullets." "Real blood." "Real bad guys." "Real bullets." "Real blood." "You thought we were playing games, right?" "Well, this ain't the movies." "It's about putting your life on the line knowing somewhere there's a bullet with your name on it." "Well, you found yours, you son of a bitch." "We're not like those assholes in the movies." "They get 17 takes to get it right." "We get one and it lasts our whole life." "That's my line." "That's what I said to him!" " Please, man." "Could you be quiet?" " It was." "I said that." "Shh!" "This is all stuff I said to him." "The son of a bitch stole my life!" "Would you shut up, Moss?" "We're trying to watch the end credits."
