"I put about 40 grand worth of materials and appliances in it and have it reappraised for 200 grand." "Wow." "Okay." "Now, I've only put 10% down, right?" "And the 40 grand of materials actually only really cost me about four or five grand." "But I'm writing off depreciation on..." "Two hundred grand." "Right." "And on the rentals, I only declare 60% occupancy." "And that's all paid in cash." "Jeez." "You're a genius, baby." "Somehow, though, these guys that called, they know about this." "What's fucked up here, besides the obvious, is here you are filing for divorce, and then this happens." "Not wanting to be married, but, I mean, gosh, don't want anything awful to happen to her, either." "Yeah." "Yeah, right." "I mean, you may pay the million bucks, and they still might..." "I mean, let me rephrase that." "You still might not see her again, honey." "Or if I couldn't get to the bank for some reason and didn't make the payment on time, then what?" "Do you know what?" "We don't even know if she's alive or dead." "We know she's alive." "I talked to her on the phone." "But was that really her?" "That was her." "It was definitely her." "Gosh, I don't know." "I mean, we could call their bluff and see what happens." "No, I can't do that." "No, we can't do that." "It's too risky." "Yeah." "(SIGHS)" "Huh?" "I mean, they might be bluffing." "Although, let's put ourselves in their place." "Where would you be if she were dead?" "Where would I be if she was dead?" "Where would you be if she were dead?" "Where would I be?" "Not you, sweetie." "I mean, where would they be if she were dead?" "You mean if I were them?" "Yeah." "Where would you be if she were dead?" "(PHONE RINGING)" "Hello, Mr. Taylor." "Welcome back." "Rodney, have you seen Mr. or Mrs. Dawson the last few days?" "Frank and Mickey?" "Not since Sunday night." "Mickey either?" "No, sir." "MAN:" "Detroit Police Department." "Please state your emergency." "I think perhaps a woman's been taken." "May I have your name, sir?" "She's a family friend." "Her name is Mickey." "(SHRIEKS)" "Marsh!" "(WHISPERS) Just a minute, please." "Marshmallow, what are you doing here?" "Just making a phone call." "Dad, why aren't you at work?" "Would you stop that?" "Your father's on the phone." "MAN:" "Hello?" "Are you there?" "PAMELA:" "Why?" "What am I doing?" "Just be clear about what you want so I can understand you." "I would like you to stop bouncing your ball against the door so I can talk to Daddy." "Please." "MAN:" "Hey, man, are you there?" "Are you there?" "Okay, that'd be great." "Hello?" "Sir..." "Please." "You, too." "Bye now." "(SIGHS)" "(THUMPING)" "You almost finished in there?" "Where'd you learn to bandage like this?" "The Navy." "You were a doctor?" "(CHUCKLES) No, I was the one getting bandaged." "Oh." "Now this is what you do?" "Kidnap people?" "No, you're my first." "Ow." "All right." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Put the mask on!" "Jesus!" "I've already..." "I've already seen you." "With both of my eyes." "At the country club." "(SIGHS)" "Okay?" "Come on." "Oh, my..." "Oh, my gosh." "Wow." "Oh, my God." "What, you don't like history?" "I hear this stuff's worth a lot of money, what I'm told." "When am I going home?" "He hasn't paid yet." "Can I ask how much are you asking for?" "A million." "A million dollars?" "He's got it." "I told you that." "Unless you can think of a reason he won't pay." "(LAUGHS) God." "Oh, gosh, a million dollars." "It's just not gonna happen." "What do you mean?" "He's got it." "I told you that." "Oh, God." "Tell me more about those apartments." "(PHONE RINGING)" "Should I get it?" "Should we get it?" "Do you want me to get it?" "Maybe you should get it." "I can get it." "I got it." "Mr. Dawson's residence." "How can I help you?" "ORDELL:" "Put the man on." "I'm afraid Mr. Dawson isn't here right now." "Would you care to leave a message?" "You tell the man get on the phone if he wants to speak to his wife." "Actually, Mr. Dawson left the island this morning on a boat and didn't mention when he'd be back." "Have a good day." "(HANGS UP PHONE)" "I used to be a receptionist for this PR guy in LA." "The guy was a real asshole, but actually" "I made a lot of interesting friends." "So it was a good experience overall, I mean." "What did he say?" "He didn't really say anything." "He just asked for you, and then he said he knew you were here." "How would he know that?" "He's just guessing." "He doesn't know shit." "Motherfucker." "Call again." "Well, what happen when I call and she don't put him on again?" "How the fuck we look then?" "I'll call him." "Don't get cute." "This shit is not a game." "Then I'll call." "I got it!" "I got it!" "(SIGHS)" "Shit is not a game, ma'am." "(PHONE RINGING)" "I'll get it." "I'll get it!" "I'm getting it!" "Sit down, Frank!" "Sit!" "Hello." "Yeah, put the man on." "I can't very well put him on if he's not here, now, can I, sport?" "Who this?" "This Melanie with the big titties?" "Well, yes, it is, and who am I speaking to?" "You tell Frank that if he want to speak to his wife again, he need to get on the phone right now." "Well, he can't get on the phone right now, 'cause he's not here." "Ciao." "Look, I..." "He knew my name." "What'd he want?" "Didn't really say anything." "He just wanted to talk to you." "He sounded like a black guy." "Well, I might know the guy, recognize his voice." "Maybe I should get it next time." "Mmm-mmm." "You don't have anything to say, Frank, do you?" "You know what I'm thinking?" "What?" "Unplug the phone." "Officer?" "Sir." "Live in these premises?" "I'm a friend of the family." "Is there a problem, Officer?" "Oh." "No." "Just, uh..." "You know, doing an investigation into a possible burglary in the neighborhood." "Uh..." "You hear any disturbances lately?" "Well, maybe." "Not personally, but no." "I really don't think so." "Those suits were mine." "Uh-huh." "(BANGING)" "Love these Furies." "My friend lives here, Frank Dawson." "Who?" "Frank Dawson." "He asked me to stop by and walk his dog." "That's why I'm here." "Really?" "What, uh..." "That's a..." "What happened to your head there?" "A car accident." "Damn buck jumped out at me." "I'm, uh..." "I'm gonna have to ask you..." "What happened to your eye?" "I'm gonna have to ask you to turn off the car." "(DOG BARKING) Why?" "I said turn off the car." "Why?" "Step out of the vehicle." "Turn off the car." "Step out of the goddamn vehicle!" "(GROWLING) Ow, ow." "Oh!" "(GUNSHOT FIRED)" "(HISSING)" "(PHONE RINGING)" "(PIANO PLAYING)" "I don't know." "I had a feeling, but you're the one had it first." "Somebody that you hadn't planned on, you didn't know about." "She's down there picking up that phone." "We're not gonna get through to him." "So we know they're up there, but what are they saying?" "Checking our temperature, that's what they doing." "Seeing if we serious." "We should go down there, show him something." "Like his wife's fingers." "Just like maybe the wedding ring finger." "He already knows we got her." "No." "No." "We need to make an impression." "They think it's a game." "Hey, he knows." "It's just a lot of money." "It's not a decision you make in an hour." "It's been two days, Louis, going on three." "Her time is up." "Hey." "Don't start no shit you can't finish, Louis." "You need to calm down." "You're not thinking this through." "What you think we doing here?" "We ain't boosting no car." "We took a woman." "Now what?" "You want to be nice?" "Oh, you got some other shit on your mind." "LOUIS:" "Fuck you." "Fuck you!" "It ain't about what you feel." "It's about what you're gonna do." "How you handle yourself in a situation like this." "The man want to take his time, and the woman wanna hang up the phone on us." "The fuck we supposed to do?" "Come on, man." "Stop touching me!" "Either he cares what happens to her, or he doesn't give a shit!" "Finger isn't gonna do anything!" "LOUIS:" "He gives us the finger, tells us to shove it up our ass!" "I'm not disagreeing with you." "You're right." "We need to find a way to put him against the wall." "So, we go down there and leave Richard here with her?" "I thought about it, too." "Yeah, and what you think?" "You go." "I'll stay." "You got Cedric." "I think one of us has gotta stay here, not just Richard." "In fact, I'm gonna insist on it." "All right, that's cool." "I'll go." "You gonna be all right, just you and Richard here?" "Yeah, we get along, if I don't have to talk to him." "You all right, man?" "Look like you got things on your mind." "You worried about something?" "Oh, no, I'm not worried about anything." "Never been happier in my life." "Ah!" "Do you mind?" "It's my bag." "No, I don't, actually." "All right." "Well, you can take my money, my Coppertone, and Kleenex, but leave my driver's license." "Took me months to get." "Melanie." "Is he upstairs?" "Or did he leave the island?" "Oh." "ORDELL:" "Yeah. "Oh."" "(SCREAMING)" "Help!" "I can't swim!" "Help!" "Please!" "You want to tell us where he at now?" "(YELLING)" "Yes!" "Please!" "(GASPING)" "(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)" "Ta-da." "Abracadabra." "You want a drink?" "Yeah, screwdriver." "Coming right up." "Why don't you give him a call, sweetie?" "All right." "I got something to tell you first." "Think it's gonna mess up your scam, but don't blame me, okay?" "It's the timing." "What timing?" "He filed for divorce two days before he came down here." "When she gets back, if she gets back, the divorce papers are waiting for her." "Huh." "You tell him he's never gonna see his wife again." "He doesn't want to see his wife again." "You just saved him maybe 100 grand a year in alimony." "He said that to you?" "He didn't have to." "I know him." "You told him not to go to the cops, so he won't." "And legally, he's not supposed to deal with extortionists." "So he's in the free and clear." "So we just let her go home?" "And then he goes home and gets divorced, but where does that leave you?" "Look, I'm willing to cooperate with you 'cause I like you." "I feel bad for you." "Aw, you do?" "And I don't want to end up in the fucking ocean again." "Cooperate how?" "What about if you..." "You disappeared for 100 grand?" "A hundred grand?" "A hundred thousand." "I think that's a good choice for you right now." "It ain't a million." "No, but it's not a sack of wet shit either." "Do you want my help?" "Listen, you're not getting a million bucks from him." "You couldn't even get it out of the country." "All I'm saying is quit dreaming and get realistic." "You might as well get something." "But if she were dead, I could get you more." "Oh." "Yeah. "Oh."" "(PHONE RINGING)" "Hello." "Hey, Richard, it's me." "Where Louis?" "(SIGHS)" "I'll get him." "No, hold on." "Hold on, Richard." "Listen, Richard." "I got something to tell you and I need you to tell Louis, all right?" "We all set here, man." "You going to California." "Don't kid me." "You teasing me?" "Don't tease me on this one." "No." "I'm not kidding you." "I'm not kidding you at all." "For real?" "It's all set?" "Yeah, we all set." "Now Louis upstairs, yeah?" "He's always upstairs." "I think he's fucking her." "He's fucking us by fucking her." "But, you know, I go up there, and they're not doing it." "Hey, Richard, listen, uh..." "I need you to take the lady home tonight." "I think he fucks her fast, but he keeps..." "Richard, listen to me, man." "Listen very carefully." "I need you to tell Louis to go and get a car." "Put the woman in the trunk of the car." "You take her on home, okay?" "Uh-huh." "You tell Louis to follow you." "You take the woman in the house." "You put her in the closet." "You lock her up." "Cut the phone wires so you got time to get away from the house." "Matter of fact, tie her with them same phone wires." "You understand?" "Richard?" "Huh, what?" "Okay." "Now, Richard, this next part is very important." "You got to do it without Louis knowing, too." "When he's gone, I need you to go back to the house." "I need you to kill the lady." "I do?" "Yeah, you do." "You need to kill her." "The whole cigarette burn incident shit." "She knows who you are, man." "She told you that?" "She heard your name, she saw your face." "That's what the Jew lady told me, man." "She said she knows who you are." "You know, I wondered about that." "I did." "I wondered about that." "You ain't got no choice, man." "I don't want to see you, I don't want to see nobody go to jail behind this, man." "So, you know, you gotta take the Jew lady out." "But listen." "You cannot tell Louis." "You know something?" "What's that?" "I knew she was a Jew." "I could tell." "(LAUGHTER) Hey, Rollo." "What's happening, man?" "Look here, I wanna ask you a question." "Uh..." "Does that look like wild parsley to you?" "You mean that marijuana?" "Say, look there, baby." "It's just about ready to be harvested, too." "Yeah, I know." "Get a car." "What else did he say?" "I told you." "I mean his exact words." "His exact words were, "It's all set."" "What does that mean?" "Why didn't he ask to talk to me?" "Because he said I could tell you." "It was all set about taking the woman home, about you going and getting a car, about you putting her in the trunk." "That's all he goddamn said, man!" "What are you getting mad for?" "I ain't mad." "It's just when I say something, it's the truth." "Yeah." "That's cool, Richard." "Nothing to be upset about, man." "I just wanna make sure I understand it." "You know what I mean?" "He said it's all set and he had the money." "Ah." "I must have missed that part." "He did get the money." "Good." "See, I was wondering about that." "Where you going?" "To get a car, like he said." "Line up transportation for tonight." "I'll be back in a half-hour." "LOUIS:" "Guess what." "You're going home." "When?" "Later on." "He paid you?" "We're gonna drop you home in a little bit." "Wait a second." "Wait." "My husband paid you?" "I guess he must have." "But you're not sure." "Yeah, I'm sure." "Eat your dinner." "It's ham and cabbage with creamed corn." "No." "Something's not right." "I don't believe you." "I gotta go downstairs." "I'll be back." "Wait a second." "Listen." "Are you gonna kill me?" "No." "Come on." "I will not say a word." "I will not go to the police." "I won't say anything." "Won't help your husband any." "Wait!" "This doesn't happen this way!" "Mickey, take it easy." "I say you're going home, you're going home." "MAN:" "Thank you." "Great meal as always." "Hey, kid." "That's me over there, black Chevelle, white stripe." "Just a sec, boss." "Be careful with it." "(DOOR OPENING)" "Oh, God." "(SIGHS)" "Didn't eat your ham." "No, I didn't." "I wasn't hungry." "I forgot." "You're not allowed to eat it." "Sorry." "Why am I not allowed to eat it?" "Your religion." "If you want to call it that." "What?" "He tell you?" "Louis?" "You're going home." "Mmm-hmm." "Yeah, he did." "He told me." "So I guess you guys got your money, huh?" "I'm gonna miss you around here." "It's been such a lovely time." "What?" "What'd you say?" "Nothing." "I didn't say anything." "What'd you say?" "(SOFTLY) Nothing." "Huh?" "(SCREAMS)" "No." "(SCREAMING) Please, please, no!" "Kiss me." "Kiss me." "No!" "No!" "You don't like me?" "(SOBBING) Please, no!" "Kiss me." "Kiss me!" "What, I'm not good enough for you?" "(SCREAMING)" "Please." "Please." "Take your clothes off." "Take them off, or I will rip them off!" "Stop!" "Now the brassiere." "Do it." "Do it." "(SCREAMING)" "Hey!" "Huh?" "(GRUNTS)" "What's going on up there?" "(GRUNTS)" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Okay!" "Let's go." "Come on." "This way." "Hold on." "(MICKEY SCREAMING)" "(SIREN WAILING)" "(EXCLAIMS)" "You all right?" "No." "You shot?" "No." "(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)" "(SIGHS)" "(COUGHING)" "7-442." "WOMAN:" "Yeah, go ahead, 442." "Yeah, I'm at 1,000 block, State and Fair, east of Woodward." "Requesting immediate backup." "I got some wild-looking asshole here firing a handgun." "Where are you taking me?" "Where am I taking you?" "I'm taking you home." "Right here, this stretch of Northwood, where it used to be called the street-racing capital of the world." "I don't want to go home." "ORDELL:" "So that's the Florentine, huh?" "What else you got?" "Listen, Ordell, we got a minor problem." "Actually, we've got some good news and some not such good news." "(SIGHS) Had a feeling you had some news." "He's going back tomorrow." "He's leaving." "And now that he's out of the casino and back on the wagon, he's in a pretty good place, all things considered." "That's the not-so-good news." "He wants to get back, make an appearance, see his wife, call off the divorce, but he wants me to come back to Detroit with him." "I just reminded him that I'm the only person he has to talk to about this, you know, the sympathetic listener." "This is the good news?" "Well, the bad isn't exactly bad and the good isn't exactly sensational." "But what it does do is it gets things back to normal." "You've got little Mickey back with hubby, assuming she's alive." "Oh, which reminds me, you should really call your friend." "It actually gives you time to set this up and do it right." "I mean, you're a hunk, but you are a piss-poor extortionist, if you don't mind me saying." "Let's be honest." "This could've been set up a whole lot better." "(MUSIC BLARING)" "This motherfucker's got way too many guns and from what I can tell, no shortage of ammo." "When we first saw him, he had on a T-shirt and long johns, armed with a revolver." "Now he got on some kind of damn uniform." "Busted in all the windows, except the ones boarded up on the second floor." "Turn off the music and put down the weapon." "Did he say anything?" "He keeps saying something about the Fury or the Fuhrer, maybe." "I don't know." "It wasn't making much sense, and he was crying through most of it." "Okay." "Ray, where you going?" "MAN:" "Sir, you have two minutes to exit the premises!" "Get back!" "Take cover!" "Take cover!" "(SIREN WAILING)" "(SCREAMING)" "(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)" "(RICHARD LAUGHING)" "Hey." "What?" "(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)" "Louis?" "Smoked grass, and I'm drinking beer." "And I don't even like beer." "And that pizza, it was delicious." "Jesus Christ." "How did you know my name?" "Oh." "The fat guy told me, that fake police guy." "He's not a real cop, right?" "He told you?" "Yeah." "He did." "You know, I was thinking about something else." "Yeah?" "The other guy, the black one." "Oh, "The black one." Yeah." "Everyone knows everyone." "That's good." "He went down to Freeport, right?" "'Cause I haven't heard his voice for a couple of days." "Where is he now?" "He just called this afternoon." "He's still there, on his way back." "He called, but you didn't speak to him." "The other guy spoke to him, right?" "Because when I asked you if my husband had paid you, you said, "I think so."" "Yeah." "Richard told me, so I didn't talk to him." "Richard." "Is that that guy's name?" "That fat guy's name's Richard?" "That's right, but I'll tell you something." "You need to forget everything that you have seen and heard over the last few days." "Louis, you're not sure if your partner was paid." "Oh, God, a million dollars?" "Don't worry about it." "Don't worry about it." "Hmm." "Louis." "Yeah?" "I think I'm ready to go home now." "Okay." "(EXHALES)" "TYRA:" "Two days before her recital," "Shelly asked me if she can quit." "I'd try and talk her out of it, but I know she's scared." "We just had to do the same thing with Andrew." "Taking him out of private school." "Too much pressure." "TYRA:" "I think it sends the wrong message." "But I asked Marsh, and he says," ""It's a ballet recital." "Who friggin' cares?"" "That was really helpful." "Thanks, Marsh." "(WOMAN CHUCKLING)" "Where you been all week, celebrity?" "I was kidnapped." "(ALL LAUGHING)" "What you thinking about?" "Mickey!" "How are you?" "Oh, my God." "I'm fine." "You know, I've been worried sick about you." "Mick, what happened?" "Did you even try to find out?" "(SCOFFS)" "When I didn't hear anything, of course I did." "I tried to call you." "I came by." "I looked for you at the club." "Mmm-hmm." "You look good." "Marshall, there is a hole in my closet door the size of you." "Jesus, I know." "Maybe if we hurry up, we can get it fixed." "The suits, I came by and took them in." "They're all clean." "Marshall, do you even know where I've been all week?" "Mickey, listen." "Talk." "I'll pick up the suits." "You call a guy about the door." "All right." "I think I'll just let you and Frank handle it." "What do you mean?" "Frank?" "Mickey." "Roll down the window." "Just for one second." "You all right?" "I'm fine." "You want a drink?" "Sure." "When'd you get back?" "I just walked in." "Oh, you mean the flight." "Did you stop and see Bo on your way back?" "Way back?" "No." "Didn't have the time." "There's been a few problems on that Grandview job." "All the sod that was supposed to be in a month ago?" "I come back, none of the landscaping is done." "Unbelievable." "Or would you rather talk about golf?" "You asked me why I didn't see Bo." "I'm telling you." "Did you pay them?" "Didn't have to." "They backed off." "When did they back off?" "When I wouldn't pay them." "It was a bluff." "I called it." "That's all." "What if they weren't bluffing?" "But they were." "(GLASS BREAKING)" "What the hell's wrong with you?" "What if they weren't bluffing, Frank?" "Okay, you're getting a little hysterical here." "I told them right from the start I wasn't gonna pay." "Okay." "Did you go to the police?" "No." "I couldn't." "They said if I did..." "That's when they threatened your life." "But I thought they were bluffing, honey." "This isn't simple to explain." "Okay." "At first, I didn't do anything." "And then I knew, as soon as I talked to them again," "I knew that they'd back off." "And that there wasn't really anything serious to worry about." "Other than, of course, what you went through." "I imagine it was a pretty frightening experience." "You're not gonna tell me." "But I know what you did, you know what you did, and that's all that matters, isn't it?" "So..." "Isn't it?" "I got the divorce papers." "They were waiting for me when I got home." "Now, obviously they were sent way before" "I knew anything about a kidnapping." "(EXHALES) Are you gonna marry her?" "Listen, instead of discussing what I feel is personal," "I think it was Henry Kissinger that said," ""Never complain." "Never explain."" "(SCOFFS)" "That was Henry Ford, when he was arrested for drunk driving in California with another woman in his car." "So..." "What do I get?" "What's my part of the settlement?" "Well, we sell the house, split the equity." "It's about 200,000, plus alimony, child support." "And then we divide the money you're sneaking into the Freeport account?" "There is no Freeport bank account in my name and there is no possible way anyone can prove it." "You want to look in my books?" "Mmm-mmm." "No, but I would like to see your apartment buildings." "Your refrigerators, ranges, all of your appliances." "How you save money on stolen materials." "How do you know about that?" "And how you pay your old buddy Ray Shelby to front you." "And without even getting into the kidnapping," "I could stir up enough to just nail your ass." "Look, I don't know what you think you know." "Couldn't I?" "I mean, if I was the type of person that wanted to see you go to jail." "Frank." "What?" "Are you gonna marry..." "What's her name?" "I hope to." "You mean if you don't go to jail." "No, that's not what I meant." "Oh, we're just wasting time." "Let's wait till I get a lawyer." "Fine." "But before you get an expensive divorce lawyer, just know it comes out of the settlement." "Just so much in the kitty, kitty." "Watch it." "Can I ask you a question?" "Yeah, sure." "Go ahead." "Did they take advantage of you or..." "Mmm-mmm." "Something happened to you." "You're different." "Hey." "Finally changed your clothes." "You look nice." "Fancy pants." "These are my culottes." "Well, they're pretty cool." "(CHUCKLES)" "And no bra?" "I have one on." "I have more than one bra." "Anyway, I gotta tell you somethin'." "Hear that?" "What?" ""I gotta tell you somethin'." I sound like you." "I say that?" "(CHUCKLES)" "Anyway, what I was gonna say was, I didn't come for this bra." "I just..." "I needed somebody to talk to, and, you know..." "Is it all right that I just invited myself?" "Yeah, sure." "Sure, it is, but there's one problem." "See, I was trying to talk to my husband finally and..." "Wait." "What problem?" "Oh, Ordell is back." "I know that." "Yeah, but he's not alone." "(MELANIE LAUGHING)" "ORDELL:" "They expressing themselves." "MELANIE:" "Enchantee." "Hello, Mickey." "Ordell." "Oh, please." "Make yourself comfortable." "Have a seat."

"Hi." "ORDELL:" "How's Frank?" "Frank's great." "Guys, what's going on?" "Mickey?" "Louis, who's your friend?" "I thought you two were introduced." "Melanie, Mickey." "Bullshit." "Mickey says her old man's divorcing her." "Really?" "MICKEY:" "Mmm." "And I don't want to interfere with his new life." "Mine, either." "This is the part where I say what?" "What, you don't believe me?" "MELANIE:" "Uh-uh." "Do you want me to describe the apartment in Freeport?" "Ordell's been there." "All right." "Well, how about the birthmark two inches from the base of his spine?" "Assuming, of course, that you've been there." "I gotta take a leak." "Just sit still." "Sit still." "Hold on." "Hmm." "Now the woman said that the man is gonna divorce her." "He's not coming back." "He don't want to make a new start." "Mmm-mmm." "ORDELL:" "Hmm." "So I got it wrong, baby." "I mean," "I can't help if he tells her one thing and then tells me another." "Or if she's pissed." "Are you mad at anybody?" "No, not at all." "No, she's not mad." "This is bullshit." "Would you mind terribly?" "MICKEY:" "Hmm." "There she goes, future Mrs. Dawson." "She looks like a million bucks." "Did he tell you he was gonna marry her?" "Mmm-hmm." "And live with her until he does." "Hmm." "Hmm!" "(FLUSHING)" "MELANIE:" "You know, guys, I was thinking we should call Frank and then we'd all be together." "ORDELL:" "Yeah." "Sure." "Let's call the motherfucker."
