It's my client's book, part Dear Abby, part Norman Vincent Peale and part Kama Sutra.
What's a Kama Sutra?
It's a...uh...how-to book.
Somebody took a shot at her.
Are you sure it wasn't a backfire?
It was a shot, Dennis.
The doorman thinks it was a backfire.
Oh, and some expert he is since he's heard so many gunshots!
He's heard a lot of backfires!
Well anyone who keeps dirty laundry in their desk I think is pretty...
I knew right where to find it didn't I?
Don't worry, Sonny. I mean, they can't throw you in jail for something you didn't do!
Isn't that what you said before I spent those fun-filled years at Quentin?
Jimmy didn't kill nobody!
Jimmy's gun did.
[Lee Ronstadt, the paramilitary group leader, calls Ray, the talk radio host on the water shortage debate]
LLee
Now you wanna know what I think about the water shortage, right?
RRay
Right.
LLee
There isn't any.
RRay
What do you mean there isn't any?
LLee
Look, Ray, I heard all about your so-called drought. The fact is, we got plenty of water.
RRay
Is that so? Where?
LLee
Okay, I'll tell you where it is. We're selling it to the Arabs.
RRay
The who?
LLee
The Arabs! They got nothing but sand and money.
RRay
Look Lee, get to the point.
LLee
Listen, if you were sitting in the middle of a desert, what would you be looking to import?
RRay
Lee, you are pretty off-base today.
LLee
And who suffers? We do! I can remember a time here in California when we grew tomatoes the size of cantaloupes and cantaloupes the size of...
RRay
That's a pretty flaky theory, who'd sell our water?
LLee
Well, it's them bleeding hearts back in Washington, that's who! Trying to keep the whole world happy and to hell with the American people! Well, I got my sprinklers going, and I'm gonna keep them going, and to hell with the Arabs!
Gandy's carrying around a $12 grudge in a $3 hat. He's not gonna be too gentle when it comes to collecting, so you either give me some answers or I'll drop him on your doorstep.
TTheda
You wouldn't do that!
Watch me!
Jimmy. Lou. You owe me five bucks. Madarazo's average in the '68 Series was .310 not .350. Oh and, ha, ha, Fred and I are getting divorced.
But I will need a diversion so I can get back to Bloomberg's room and try to talk to him.
Oh! Now we're getting to the nitty-gritty. Now it's beginning to make sense. "Come on over to Rocky's, Angel." Serve my favorite food. First time I been invited over here for so much as a glass of water!
[to Mary Jo] I could use a little help in the kitchen with the coffee and dessert.
Forget about the dessert! You don't buy Angel Martin with a couple of drumsticks and some red eye gravy.
Mr. Rockford? Sue Ellen. Our class is having that crazy scavenger hunt I told you about. If you're wondering what happened to your trailer door, it's gonna win me first prize!
You've flipped from Ashram to watertank and back! Are you any happier for it? Look around you. You see a lotta bliss out there?
SSky
I don't think I've done so bad for being 32 years old.
You're 40. I've seen your driver's license.
SSky
I was 40, but I'm making positive affirmations! I'm 32. I'm youthing myself.
You're 40!
SSky
But I don't want to get old.
Well, neither do I!
SSky
But you see we don't have to. Not if...
There's nothing you can do about it. That's the way it is. I'm sorry to be the bearer of the bad news. There's no easy answer, you know. No quickie nirvana. You don't like it, tough! Join the club!
Hey, am I too late for those African goats? Haven't got the whole three hundred cash, but I've got a lot of homemade cheese. Maybe we could work something out?
Let me get this straight: You have a client who has the same name as Herman Goering's HOUSE?!
KHKaren Hall
You met up with the Surete. They actually followed me. That's why I had that horrible feeling I was being watched. And they're the ones who ransacked my room!
Oh no, not nearly so simple. Your room was ransacked by an Olympic wrestling champion and a German ex-neurosurgeon.
