"Talking about that biological time clock of hers." "She can't wait forever, Victor." "If she wants kids, she'll have to start soon." "I never thought Bon Bon would turn on me like this." "Women, Victor, they can be unpredictable." " Yeah." " Well, maybe she will change her mind." "Nah, it's too late, I've lost her." "I can't believe she dropped me for a CPA who wanted to tie the knot." "I mean, really, what can this guy possibly offer her that I can't?" "Marriage, love, commitment." " OK, OK, but what else?" " I think the important word here is tact." " I'm handling it." " We all have to work together." "What do you think I'm going to do, break both his legs?" "You look like you are revving yourself up for it." "Oh, boy..." " You pulled my informant in here!" " He was walking down Fifth Avenue and he had an ounce of coke in his pocket." "Don't give me that ounce of coke routine!" "You brought him in here to get information on O'Farrell." " He did not want to talk to you!" " But he did." " You messed with my informant." "If anything happens to him out on the street, I'm the one" " who hears about it, not you!" " Don't worry about that, Sergeant, because I have already got you covered." "Got me covered, kid..." "Cagney, come here, I want to talk to you a minute." "Come here." "No, we'll talk over here." "Uh..." " Morning, sir." " Good morning." " Somebody waiting for you." " What?" "Oh, yeah." "Cagney, you see the lady at the door there?" "She was outside the station house, scared to come in here." " Why, what's the problem?" " Well, she went to a clinic this morning and demonstrators prevented her from entering." " What, an abortion clinic?" " A woman's clinic." "It doesn't make any difference whether she wanted an abortion or to go in there to have a wart removed from her baby toe, she shouldn't have to explain it to anybody out front." "Yes, Lieutenant." "All right, so I want you to take Mrs Herrera over there and escort her into the clinic" " and get some uniforms over there as backup." " Yes, sir." "Ah, no, uh, Lacey..." "You stay here and finish up the paperwork on Chandler's case." "With respect, does this have to do with me being pregnant?" "Well, you know, it's just not an ordinary situation." "I want to keep a lid on this because abortion demonstrations can blow out of control." "It could be dangerous." "He's right, Mary Beth." "With respect again, sir, you said you were going to have uniforms there in case there was any trouble, right?" "Yeah, but I am thinking more, Lacey, about your condition, you know?" "It could provoke these people more." "Or it might help, sir, you never know." "I would like to assist Mrs Herrera." "All right, but be careful and be tactful, the both of yous." "You hear?" "You make those people understand that they have no right to interfere with anybody coming in or going out." " Clear?" " Thank you, sir." "Tactful." " Morning." " Hey, Dad." " How's it going?" " Well, same old." "It's good to see you, son." " It's been a long time." " It's been a few months." "Yeah, well, like I say..." "So, what are you doing with yourself now, huh?" "You still waiting on tables over at that spaghetti joint?" "It is one of the best Italian restaurants in New York, Dad." "That's good." "Save some money." "Put yourself back into school." " Those plans are a little on hold right now, Dad." " Oh, yeah?" "Dad." "I got married." "Congratulations." " I just wanted you to know." " Well, that's very good." "Thanks." "I'm glad you wanted me to know." "I would have been just as happy to hear about it before it happened." "I knew you'd be angry." "Look, let's just get the whole thing out in the open." " Yeah, let's do that." " First of all, she's not Jewish." "OK." "I met her at the restaurant." "She was the cashier." " She needed to support herself after the divorce." " Oh, well..." "I like this." "I'm punch-drunk already, kid." " What, you got some more news for me?" " Uh-huh." " She's six years older than I am." " OK!" "I tell you, keep it coming, keep it coming." "Hey, what the hell, I'm on the ropes already." "Come on, keep it coming." "There's got to be something else, huh?" " I know what, you got her in trouble, too, right?" " Oh, what's the use?" " You're always going to think the worst!" " Hey, wait a second!" "What do you expect of me?" "That's why you weren't at the wedding." "All right, you want to back up here?" "All right, let's clear an entrance to the clinic, please." "You all have a right to demonstrate, you do not have the right to block an entrance to the clinic." "You all have to back up." "Woman, you are carrying your own child, how can you help murder unborn babies?" "Excuse me, ma'am, I am an officer of the law, and this lady is going inside." "Stop and think about what you are doing before it is too late." " Move away, lady." " Please!" "THEY ARGUE" "There are other options." "We can offer you adoption agencies!" "Officer, officer!" "My name is Arlene Crenshaw, and yours is?" " Sergeant Cagney, from the 14th." " Cagney." "Did they send you because they thought women police would be less inflammatory?" "I'm just doing my job, lady." "Sergeant, human beings are being murdered in there every day." "I'm not here to debate." "When you let that woman through, you entered the discussion." "I'm doing my job." "Your job is to protect the innocent, and what could be more innocent than a baby who is being murdered in that building?" "That is your opinion and that is your business, but you have no right to bully people on the street." "Look, Sergeant, if you were in Nazi Germany and you saw lives being taken by the thousands, wouldn't you do everything in your power to stop that?" "I want you eight feet from the door of this clinic." "All right, let's go." " There you go." " We are doing something about it." "Sergeant, Sergeant!" "We refuse to look the other way." "Eight feet." "They're so worried about the unborn, what about the babies that are already here?" "You think those people were picketing City Hall when day-care funding was cut?" "I understand how you feel, doctor." "Hey, I don't need your empathy, I need your protection." "It is hard enough for a woman to face an abortion, she shouldn't have to walk through that mob." "It is like living in a war zone, and it has gotten to me." "What month are you in?" "Fifth." "That's wonderful." "Yeah." "You got a ring on your finger." "You got a good paying job." "A lot of the women that come in here aren't so lucky." "Yes." "Would you mind dropping me off at 121st Street?" "I don't want to have to explain anything to my husband." "Doesn't he know you went to the clinic today?" "He doesn't even know I'm pregnant." "He is on disability." "You know men when they are not working..." "Mrs Herrera, would it be easier if you two came to this decision together?" " Is 121st one-way?" " Just drop me off at the corner." "They can't make me have this baby." "I see my friends my age." "They have babies." "They can't work, they can't go to school." "The only thing they can do is watch TV all day." "Will your husband be able to go back to work?" "Who knows when." "I don't want to be on welfare." "I want to finish business school." "I am studying to be a court stenographer." "Oh, now there is a good job." "Good pay." "Maybe we'll see you in court sometime." "Mrs Herrera, if you need assistance going back to the clinic, you call us, OK?" "Going to the clinic today for the examination was against everything I was brought up to believe." "I don't know what I'm going to do." "Mrs Herrera, you need to talk to somebody." " Talk to your husband." " Let's go!" " Talk to a friend." "But don't let those people yelling at you make you afraid, all right?" "Take it easy." "This is what I thought it would be when I signed on - protect the people who don't have anybody." "This is one of the days I feel very good about the job." "SHE BRAKES" "Something the matter?" "What are we running here, a taxi service?" " You going out tonight, Chris?" " The stores are open late." " New dress?" " New shoes?" " Whatever I find, I don't know." "Chris, the woman is entitled to make up her own mind about her own body." "Mary Beth, please don't lecture me." "I live what you are talking about." "Pardon?" "I was raised Catholic." " This is a hard one for me." " Oh, I see." " Oh, you do?" " Women like Mrs Herrera are wrong, they don't have a right to make their own decisions." "I didn't say that." "But there are other choices besides abortion." "No-one should tell Mrs Herrera to have a child she doesn't want." "You're right." "Mary Beth, I am pro-choice, you know I'd never live my life any other way." "But that doesn't mean I'm..." "I'm also pro-life." "So you are on everybody's side?" "You have to take a stand on this one, Christine, otherwise you are walking the fence." "OK, I'm walking the fence." "How would you feel if you were raped and you got pregnant?" "Oh, I don't know, it would depend on the guy." " Ugh!" " Well, please!" "That is the most stupid thing you have ever asked me." "OK, let's forget about rape victims and teenage girls" " and women carrying around severely damaged children." " I don't forget." "What if it was you, Christine?" "A 38-year-old woman having to conspire with her doctor to commit a crime, that's humiliating." "And what if they change the law back and you don't have a choice anymore?" "Let's stop." "I'd hate it, all right?" "I'm just trying to tell you my feelings." " I don't know when it is murder." " Abortion is not murder!" "It's not even a person yet." " Well, tell that to your belly." " My belly is my business." "Same as Mrs Herrera's belly is her business." "I don't want to argue anymore, OK, Mary Beth?" "For the record, no-one should take away anyone's right to make their own choices about anything." "But this one feels wrong." "Let's stop." "All right, abortion is wrong, but birth control isn't?" "You do use birth control, Christine?" "Nobody is perfect." "'And flex." "Good." "'OK, back down to the side." "'Easy, easy." "'All the way down." "Hold it." "'Good." "Backup slowly.'" "Listen to this, Mary Beth." "This guy LaBoya recommends putting babies in warm water immediately after birth because," ""the fluid suspension most closely approximates the watery walls" ""of the womb."" "I'm not giving birth to a mermaid, Harv." "This other doctor goes even further." "He delivers babies underwater in a tank of dolphins." "Not bad, Harvey." "We could take the boys to the aquarium and kill two birds with one stone." "You can at least keep an open mind, Mary Beth, I mean, these doctors have done lots of research." "Me, too." "This is my third baby, can any of them top that?" "HE LAUGHS" "Ah, I wish it was tomorrow." "Me, too." " I wish I could have seen the boys born." " Me, too." "At least with Michael I was awake." "But that one doctor, remember?" "He told me when I wanted to bear down, "Stop!"" "He said he'd do all the work." "This time, no shot, no spinal, no nothing." "I'm not going to miss a minute of this." "'At around five this morning, 'an explosion ripped through the Westside Women's Clinic.'" "Yeah, well, we can forget about the dolphins." "You and me, kid, that's all we need here." "'It appears that a vagrant, seeking out the warmth of a subway grate, 'settled down for a nice sleep...'" "Harv, we were there yesterday." "'Fireman found the man unconscious, severely burned." "'He is now in the Critical Care Unit at Mount Sinai." "'Morning Newsbreak will continue after this.'" "I used to see that old bum out there." "Once we left some blankets for him." "How is he?" "Pretty badly burned." "They don't know if he is going to live." "Right to life, huh?" "There has been nothing to establish a connection." "You looking for something in particular, Doctor?" "Yeah." "I want to make sure all my files are destroyed." "Sometimes when this has happened at other clinics, they come back, look for records so they can harass the patients." "Yesterday you said you had reported previous threats, could you give us some specifics, sir?" "Look, I appreciate your support, but..." "I hope you don't mind my sarcasm, but don't you think it is a little bit late?" " I know you're angry, Doctor." " Angry?" "You just look through some of these records." "We had 12-year-olds, children, who came here pregnant." "Now, what brand of compassion forces a child...hell, anyone, to go through an unwanted pregnancy?" "Well, apparently there are people who disagree with you." "Yeah, well, that's hard to see when you stand in my shoes." "It wasn't that long ago I'd see women who had literally mutilated themselves." "They were that desperate." "You are under no obligation to speak to the police." "I advise you to order them off the premises." "Then they'll think I have something to hide." "Now, please believe me when I tell you that bombings are not condoned by any legitimate pro-life organisation." "Extremists who resort to violence only set our cause back." "We condemn any violent incidents in support of our cause." "Oh, really?" "I thought that you would see it as an act of heroism." "Like bombing the gas chambers at Dachau." "Mrs Crenshaw, your group was demonstrating in front of that clinic." "What we want is a list of the people that were there, as well as a copy of your general membership roster." "Absolutely not, not without a warrant, which I doubt you have." "Well, that's just a matter of time." "If we have to get one, we will." "Unless you can show a specific connection," "I doubt any judge will grant you access to general membership files." "Arlene, I recommend that you refuse." "I'm sorry, I would like to help, but not at the risk of having anyone in my organisation harassed." "Harassed?" "You mean like screaming and taunting people?" "Oh, look, when you feel passionately about a moral issue, you don't always behave reasonably." "So, you're not responsible if what you do incites others, is that correct?" "No more than the civil rights marchers." "No more than the Vietnam protesters." "This is legitimate protest." "Not if it leads to bombing." "Not that leads to violence, no!" "You don't like the laws in this country, you vote to change them." "We'll keep in touch." "Number 23." "You look good, Thelma." "You did something different with your hair." "I'm letting it grow." "It's attractive." "Still working crazy hours?" "Well, I finally got some extra men in." "Good." "So, how come we still can't get out of the office before one o'clock in the morning, huh?" "So, our boy went ahead and got himself married, huh?" "Yes." " Were you...graced with an invitation?" " Yes, I was." " You were?" "Boy, I tell you, if he wanted to take a slap at me," " that was sure a pretty good shot." " Bert, he didn't want to hurt you." "It was his day, he just didn't want you angry." "What did he think, I wasn't going to be happy for him?" "So he married a girl that wasn't Jewish." "What did he think I was going to do, huh?" "She's Asian." "Vietnamese." "Is she nice?" "I think she will be good for him." "Did you meet the family?" "Is there a mother, a father?" "What did they do, come over on a boat?" "They came over the same way your parents and my parents came over." "Oh, I didn't know it was a white." "Mr Sawyers, we are required to coordinate with your office, we'd appreciate if you could tell us what the forensic report shows on the bombing, sir." "I have to apologise, I haven't pushed on that." " I will." " Look, I've got a full desk, too, all right?" "We'd also like access to your file of pro-life advocates arrested for violent demonstrations." "Could we have that?" "I'm sorry, the Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco And Firearms doesn't keep that kind of file." " Since when?" " I don't know if we ever did." "I bet if it was a list of Vietnam War protesters you'd have a file." "Obviously, detective, you have mistaken me for someone who makes policy rather than someone who simply works here." "Not to change the subject, but that is a very attractive sweater you are wearing." "Oh." " You're really very pretty." " Well, thank you." "The colour highlights your hair." "So, what you're saying is we are supposed to sit back and hope that the poor old vagrant doesn't die, so he can point out who planted the bomb, is that correct?" "I realise I may not be inspiring a lot of confidence here, but you're going to have to trust me." "We've caught a number of these bombers in other states," " we'll find this one too." " Uh-huh." "Thank you." "We appreciate your help." "OK, I say we file for a warrant on Arlene Crenshaw and her group." "Judge what's-his-name owes us one, right?" "Bang a buck?" "Right?" "Yeah, fine." "Listen, what do you think of Sawyers?" "Look, Mary Beth, I do have a personal life, which at the moment is severely in the dumper!" "Your choice of men never ceases to amaze me." "Sawyers doesn't make the decision about what files are kept or not kept." "The man is a typical bureaucrat, he doesn't care one way or the other!" "Maybe he's just trying to do his job, Mary Beth." "Maybe he doesn't let his personal feelings get in the way of how he goes about doing it." "Maybe so, Christine." "Personal feelings don't get in the way, you're right." "Nice sweater." "Benny Ratakowski." "Spell it." "I don't know how." "See, I dropped out of school..." "R-A-T-A-K-O-W-S-K-I." " You collared him a few times?" " Three." " Maybe this time, it'll stick." "There's a woman who's been waiting to see you over here." "Fine." "I know that there's..." "I know you have a lot of important things to do..." "Mrs Herrera, are you doing OK?" "I told my husband I was pregnant." "First he cried, and then..." "I don't know." "I need to talk to someone." "We could get you in touch with a family counsellor." "I need to talk to someone now." "Please." "Let's go see if one of the interview rooms is free." "All right, get this guy out of here." " Petrie, got some messages for you here." " Thank you." " How's Lauren?" " She's better." " Measles can be tough on a kid." " Hmm." "Of course, chickenpox is no better than monkeys." "Wait till you get the mumps, that's the one you've got to be careful about." " Hmm." " Separates the men from the boys." "Hey, Petrie, wait a minute." "Yeah?" "Um, how's Claudia?" "She doesn't have the measles." "No, I mean, is everything, you know, OK between the two of you?" "Coleman, is there any place you won't stick your nose?" "Hey, you've got a right to be mad at me." "I opened up my big mouth, I made a joke about your wife." " I was out of line, I apologise." " It's history." "Forget it." "There is something else you got to know." "Isbecki never said anything to me he shouldn't have." "I'm the one who deserves the flak here." "I was just pulling your leg, how was I supposed to know it was going to come off in my hand?" "Look, I know you didn't mean it." " I'm working it through, it just takes time." " Time, yeah." " Well, you've got a lot of that, right?" " Right." " Marcus..." "Chris, you got the Manhattan Yellow Pages?" "She talked, I listened." "She asked me to make an appointment for her in another clinic." " Don't worry, I'll make it for after work." " Fine." " I'll take care of it." " Great." "Chris, you called me a cab driver, now you're going to tell me" " I'm a social worker, right?" " I don't want to argue with you." "The woman should not have to go through this alone." "TELEPHONE RINGS 14th Squad, Sgt Cagney." "The old vagrant who was hurt in the explosion just died." "The Lieutenant wanted to know if you've finished the report on that case." "Yeah, sure." "Did you sign us up for Lamaze class?" "It's every other Tuesday night, Harve." "Well, forget bowling night, we got a date with this little fella." " Know the old apartment on 68th Street?" " Yeah." "We'd lay in the same bed, talking about what it would be like to start a family, remember?" "I figured I'd never sleep late on Sunday morning again!" "SHE LAUGHS" "What are you laughing at?" "I was right!" "I'm the luckiest lady alive." "I got my health back, I got you and the boys." "I got a new life in me." "And this poor girl today, all she has is sadness and confusion, and everybody thinking they have the right to tell her what to do." "Nobody to talk to." "Had to come to some stranger in the station house." "That's what birth control's for." "People shouldn't have kids if they can't take care of them." "Oh, Harve, who knows what she was dreaming would happen?" "I mean, it's easy to judge when it's somebody else you're talking about, it's different when it's you that's pregnant and you got nowhere to turn." "It's a long time ago, Mary Beth, it's over." "I was 19-years-old, Harvey, I thought he was a man of my dreams." "But for him, it was a little experiment, then time to move on." "He was a bum, Mary Beth." "Any guy that would not stand by you, make you go through that by yourself..." " I couldn't tell anybody, not even my mother." " You did what you had to do." "Well, I wasn't going to bring a kid into this world without a father." " That's too hard, never knowing your father." " I know, babe." "I snuck around like a criminal, got some guy's name," " somebody said he had been a medic in the Army." " It's OK." "And one Sunday afternoon, I went to where he lived in the Bronx, this little room over a grocery." "In the corner was a table and he pointed to it, he said," ""Lie down," like I was a dog, no better than a dog, Harve." " OK, Mary Beth, you said..." " And you know, I almost let him do it to me." "I stood there and I thought about it." "There's people that want us to go back to that, Harve." "It'll never be that way again." "It'll be exactly like that." "Only reason I could walk away was because of the money I had saved for second semester." "I made a choice, right there." "Take that money, go to Puerto Rico, have it done..." "My college money." "How many women you think he butchered on that table, Harve, huh?" "He was a kid, 11, 12-years-old, the only one on the whole subway who offered me his seat." "Somebody must be doing something right back home, huh?" "Yeah, it kind of made my day." "Looks like you're on a roll." "Mrs Crenshaw, what can we do for you?" "That poor man who died..." "My organisation... no organisation involved in the pro-life movement had anything to do with this bombing." "I want my people exonerated." "Is this your membership roster?" "I trust that when you speak to these people, you will treat them with respect, and that when they have all been cleared, you will issue an apology." " These people don't take life, they cherish it." " Yes, ma'am." "We're looking for someone who might have participated in violent demonstrations, someone with a knowledge of explosives." "Could have sent this over in departmental mail," " you didn't need to make the trip." " Oh, it really wasn't out of our way." "Must be the worst morning I've had in about two weeks." " Sorry to add to your workload." " Well, it's one more emergency." "I'll give it a priority." "I guess we're all overworked, actually, I don't know about you, but for me, there's barely enough time for a social life." "Tell me about it." "It's my wife's birthday and I haven't had a chance to get her a present." "Oh, really?" "You know that sweater you were wearing the other day, that gold one?" "Where did you get that?" "Bloomies." "How soon can we pick that up?" " If the computer's free, it'll just take a few minutes." " Great." " Well, that was for nothing!" " Any suggestions?" "Hit the streets, go down the list one by one." "Good, the old-fashioned method." "Maybe check with the forensics lab, see if they can tell us anything about the bomb." " Good plan, Christine." " Mm-hm." "Just tell me this one thing." "Was I obvious?" "Do I have to go through the rest of the day feeling like an idiot?" " I...wouldn't worry about it." " SURE you wouldn't worry!" " You're not the one who just made an idiot out of herself!" " Oh." "Simon and Garfunkel." "Moody Blues." "Tina when she was with Ike." "I beg your pardon." "Oh, this particular bomb had its heyday in the late '60s, early '70s, and I associate bombs with the music of the time." "So, we're talking about radicals, late '60s, early '70s?" "Usually just kids trying to blow up a draft induction centre." "But this a home-made device easily constructed and especially if you read the how-to book, it had diagrams and everything." " I remember that." " And did you see the sequel?" " Which one?" " How to build a nuclear bomb." "Oh, that's what wowed me." "It was just after the time of Molotov cocktails, but it's before disco." "It's hard to believe that those were the good old days." "You look tired, Christine, why don't you take a break?" "I don't know." "I'm suppose to see Charlie tonight." " Well, go ahead." "I can finish up these." " Nah, you don't have to." "No, Harvey took the boys to watch him bowl tonight." "Plus, you've been covering for me the last couple of months." " You sure?" " Yes, we are sure." " Thanks." " No problem." "Listen, uh..." "Sorry about what I said about your belly the other day." " It's getting a little personal." " That's OK, it is personal." " It's tough stuff." " Yeah." "Take it slow." "What you doing here so late, Lacey?" "Just catching up on some paperwork, sir." "Why don't you take a load off." "Come on into my office, I'll throw some peaches into the microwave." " Oh, no thank you, sir, I'm fine." " Well, you've got to keep your strength up." "I'll be done here soon." "How about a cup of tea?" "You want to talk to me or something, Lieutenant?" "Yeah, if you've got a couple of minutes." " Yes, sir." " You want to bring your cup?" "As a matter of fact," "I've got some very interesting tea...that's very delicious." "So, any, uh... ..leads on the bombing?" "We've started interviewing the pro-life people, sir." " We're down to the Gs." " Are they being cooperative?" "Yeah, they're OK." "It's hard to believe they're the same people screaming on a picket line." "Yeah, well, you know, people are different when they're alone." " You want me to close the door, sir?" " No, that's OK." " Just sit down, make yourself comfortable." " Yes, sir." "This will take just a few seconds to warm up." "Remember when I first got this thing?" "Finally learned how to use it." "SHE CHUCKLES" "Well, now I've got some...chamomile tea and some raspberry..., you know" "La Guardia left me this when he retired." " Yes, sir, chamomile, please." " Yeah, you like this too?" "I prefer it." "MICROWAVE BEEPS And I think... this should be warm enough right now." "Yeah." " Magic." " Yeah." "Goes by fast, time." "Yes, sir, too fast." "Yeah, you know, when Davey was born... first time I saw him..." "..that's something I'm never going to forget." "I don't think anything compares to that, sir." "Kind of like time stands still." "Bar Mitzvah, then get married, then we had a kid and everything else seems to be a blur." " I liked it when Davey was a baby." " Yeah." "They can't talk back to you then." "No, that's not it." "It's like Petrie." "You ever listen to him?" " You mean about Lauren?" " Yeah, she's going to be president." "She's going to grow up to be a brain surgeon, his daughter." "But that's it, you know, his daughter... ..is going to grow up to be anything." "What are your dreams for your kids, Lacey?" "Well, sir, I..." "Well, sir, I think..." "I always think that maybe Harv Junior will become a professor." "He's smart, you know." "English or History, and he'd be safe someplace on a New England campus." " And Michael?" " Oh, Michael is like his father." "He's good with his hands." "So, maybe one day he and Harv Senior will have their own contracting firm." "You know, Lacey And Son." "And Harv will show him the ropes and then Michael will take over, maybe." "He'd be a good boss, Michael." "Have people working for him." "That's nice, Lacey." "And the world is changing so fast I don't know what to dream for this one here." "I always thought my kid was going to grow up to be a lawyer." "I guess that's something that's not fair, it's selfish of me because it's something that I never got to be." "You wanted to be a lawyer, sir?" "Yeah, when I went to college, that's what I had my mind, to be a lawyer." "But you know, we got married and then... baby came and...so I went after a civil service job, walking a beat." "And you didn't ever get to go back." "I juggled classes for a while, but it was hard." "Don't get me wrong, I'm not sorry to be a..." "Davey..." "No, no, sir." "It was hard." "Tough to keep up the studies and make a living for us at the same time." "The day that I quit I promised myself that I would come back." "But never happened." "Now my kid's got every opportunity to make something for himself." "He chooses instead to wait on tables at a spaghetti joint." "That's funny." "Parents spend their whole lives hoping the kids will become independent." "And they become independent and the joke is on the parents." "Yeah, that's funny." "To La Guardia, sir, what do you say?" "Well, I tell you, I think you ought to talk to Samuels and see if you can get yourself taken off this case." "It's my job, Pop." "Big boys downtown, there's still a lot of Irish at the top." "You know the way they feel, same as me, it is a mortal sin." "I'm investigating a bombing." "This whole thing makes me sick anyway." "I mean, abortionist used to be a dirty word." "Just because the times have changed it doesn't change anything," " you know, it is still a mortal sin." " You so sure of that?" "That is the way I was taught, it's the way you were taught, it is the way I believe." "People a lot smarter than me spent a lot of time figuring this thing out." "Yeah." "What if I was pregnant and I didn't want to marry the guy?" "Or he was married and I couldn't and I didn't want to raise the baby by myself...?" "We'll figure something out, you know, adoption, your brother, something." " What if I didn't want to?" " What are you asking these questions for?" "It's not a man's problem, you know." "That's not what I meant." "What I meant is, boy, this is some kind of conversation for somebody who once wanted to be a nun." "But it's not going to happen, is it?" "So, please." "It's your shot." "You ought to do something about that cough." "Good idea." "Hey, two more." " I wanted to see you, Davey." " What about?" "Let me introduce you." "My Linh." "This is my father." " It's very nice to meet you." " Likewise." "Sure." " Won't you come in?" " No, I was just coming by to give you a present." "It's a wedding present." "I wrapped it myself." "Those were your bubba's candlesticks." "She used to use them for the Sabbath candles." "I remember." "If Davey's grandmother was alive she would say to you that...they should bring this new home..." "..much happiness and I wish you to use them and good health." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." " Dad, why don't you come in?" " No, no, I was just..." "Stay with us for supper." "If it's not going to put yous out." "Please stay." "It's only corned beef and cabbage." "But we would love to have you." "Corned beef and cabbage, are you kidding me." "I had a partner once who used to live on corned beef and cabbage." " Morning." " Morning." " You the landlord?" " Yeah, what can I do for you?" " We're looking for Emily Lazarus." " She moved, over two years ago." "Yeah, we know that." "Excuse me, could you turn that down while we talk." "Yeah, she moved over to 84th street, but she doesn't live there any more, we thought you'd maybe kept in touch." " Did she do something wrong?" " We just want to talk to her." "No offence, but what's in it for me?" "Well, you've got a choice, you could stay here and watch your putty dry or...you could go downtown with us." "Miss the whole event." "Let me tell you something, that woman's a serious whacko." "Always has been." "Always into causes, demonstrations." "Getting into trouble ever since college." " You've known her a long time?" " Yeah." "We used to live together back in the hippy dippy days." "Emily moved in with me right after I bought this place." "Got it for a song." "The maintenance is a killer." "And then one day she says," ""I don't want to live in sin, I want a clean slate."" "So one morning she says, "I'm going to change my name to Lazarus."" "You know, rising from the dead, all that Bible stuff." "She changed her name." "She used to be Emily Johnson back in the movement." "We were going to change the world." "Now I'm changing the washer and the tap." "Yes, sir." "So, you ever hear from her?" "Harvey's conspiracy theories are getting to him." "Not like this woman is like one of the Chicago Seven."

"Look, I don't think I have to answer any questions" " unless my lawyer's present." " That's fine." "You're welcome to come down to the station with us if you like." "If that's the way it has to be." "Funny you're coming to arrest me." "It's not an arrest, Miss Lazarus, we want to talk to you." "I don't suppose you're hauling in that doctor to talk to him." " Are you?" " Emily, we're not here to debate an issue with you." "Why don't we just get going, you can call your lawyer from the precinct, all right?" "I think I'll call him now." "He can meet us down there." " Hold it right there!" " I have a bomb." " Don't move." " Take it easy." " I have a bomb." " Just put that down." " This is a mistake." "You're making a mistake." " Put it down."
