00:14:43Hey, Monk.
00:14:45I got this frantic message that you were looking all over town for me.
00:14:49Oh, the late Mr. Sean North, demon photographer.
00:14:53What are you doing working on CP time?
00:14:56Oh, come on, Monk. This was New Year's Eve.
00:14:59Was it something important?
00:15:00Would you say the world's richest black man coming home important?
00:15:05Blake Tarr?
00:15:06Or would you say three hit men waiting to kill him important?
00:15:10And a shoot with Tarr wounded and maybe dead?
00:15:14Is any of that important?
00:15:16You tell me.
00:15:19Well, I'll tell you.
00:15:22It was damned important.
00:15:24The biggest story of the year.
00:15:26I was forced to send Miss Total Environment here,
00:15:28who almost got herself killed by an assassin, getting these photos.
00:15:32Oh, boss, I...
00:15:33Friday, I told you.
00:15:34Hey, I know this guy.
00:15:37Who's he?
00:15:39I don't know.
00:15:40But I've met him somewhere.
00:15:43You just don't forget the fine ones.
00:15:56Well, I'm going to park here for a moment while I run my game.
00:16:10It's your show, fancy man.

00:19:45What's wrong?
00:19:47Friday, it doesn't matter.

00:20:13and into your first outfit.

00:20:21Oh!
00:20:29Well, look who's here.
00:20:31Oh, Sean, I'm sorry.
00:20:32I had to go backstage to see a friend.
00:20:34If you cared anything about your job with me,
00:20:37instead of dating every handwriter in town,
00:20:39drinking, playing around, and staying out all night.
00:20:43Now look here, Sean North,
00:20:45you knew where I was last night, and furthermore...
00:20:47Oh!
00:20:48Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, non-violence.
00:20:51Besides, it's too nice a day, too nice a place,
00:20:53besides any clothes that his mother would have sewn him.
00:20:57Sorry about that.
00:20:58What are you doing here at this fashion show?
00:20:59What do all private eyes do?
00:21:01Watching an unfaithful wife cheat
00:21:03on her unfaithful husband.
00:21:04Oh, all right.
00:21:05Well, for a moment there, I thought you swished on me.
00:21:08No way.

00:21:11Well, it's nice work if it pays well.
00:21:14All right, see you later.

00:21:34Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
00:21:37Well, hello, George.
00:21:38You're looking absolutely fantastic.
00:21:40How do you manage it?
00:21:43Oh, hello, Cleo.

00:21:46Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, welcome.

00:21:51and I'm quite sure your approval,
00:21:53one of my most fantastic original collections,
00:21:57and I choose to call it
00:21:59Sapphires and Sisters.
00:22:02We're all familiar with the joy of sex,
00:22:05particularly since that doctor has determined
00:22:07that the sex is on the male's mind every other minute,
00:22:13and on the female mind every other second.
00:22:16Well, I've put it all together in one group,
00:22:19which I call the Four Seasons of S-E-X.
00:22:25Not exactly subtle, is she?
00:22:29She never was, even when I was modeling for her.
00:23:49Cloris!

00:26:56Someone call an ambulance! Please!
00:27:00Cloris!
00:27:04Tell the body snatchers they can take this one away and get on it.
00:27:10Cole, you phoned it in, right?
00:27:13What put you on the scene?
00:27:15Get your rocks off at fashion shows these days?
00:27:17You know something, Lieutenant, I'd rather spend my time
00:27:19looking at the live ones than going around the city
00:27:21picking up the dead ones like you do for low pay.
00:27:24Besides, I'm better looking than you are.
00:27:26You may have a point there.
00:27:28Maybe that's what's ruining my stomach.
00:27:32Got any ideas who did it?
00:27:34Why don't you ask Ford Malott?
00:27:36Who's Ford Malott?
00:27:38Some son of a bitch who's been trying to ruin me for years.
00:27:41He'd been stealing my designs and selling them for ready and wear.
00:27:45Is he a designer too?
00:27:48That's what he calls himself.
00:27:50But this plastic faggot couldn't design a handkerchief, let alone a dress.
00:27:54The only thing he can do is steal from me.
00:27:57So you think he killed this girl, huh?
00:28:00Well, let's put it this way.
00:28:02This ill excuse of a human being has had this girl on regular basis
00:28:06coming and going between here and D.C.
00:28:09He might have thought she knew too much.
00:28:31Hey, kid.
00:28:33I'm looking for Miss, uh, Friday Foster.
00:28:35Yeah, she's my sister.
00:28:37No kidding.
00:28:38Well, look, I'm from Ace Photoshop.
00:28:40See, I got this camera she ordered, and she got a sign for it.
00:28:43She's upstairs in 807.
00:28:44Go on up.
00:28:45All right.
00:28:46Thanks, little brother.
00:28:48Good to see you.
00:28:49Good to see you.
00:28:50You too, Lou.
00:28:51Thanks.
00:28:52Good-bye.
00:28:53Good-bye.
00:28:54Good-bye.
00:28:55No, I'll pay you later, pal.
00:28:58You have my thanks.
00:28:59I'll see you later.
00:29:00Thanks, old pal.
00:29:01Come on, let's go.
00:29:02All right.
00:29:03I'll see you later.
00:29:04Come on.
00:29:05Bye-bye.
00:29:06Bye-bye.
00:29:07Bye-bye.
00:29:08Bye-bye.

00:35:02You say some gal stole a hearse?
00:35:04That's right.
00:35:05How do you suckers find these problems?
00:35:07Any idea who she was?
00:35:09Look, Lieutenant, all I know it was a black female.
00:35:12About 5'7".
00:35:14If I might say so, she's kind of attractive.
00:35:17Oh, yeah, she had this large bag hanging over her shoulder.
00:35:21A camera gadget bag?
00:35:24Exactly.
00:35:25Go.
00:35:26Now, is Friday into stealing hearses now?
00:35:28Aw, come on, Lieutenant, you know better than that.
00:35:30She must have spotted someone from that tar shooting at the airport.
00:35:32She grabbed the first thing available, a hearse.
00:35:34What are you gonna do, stick her in the ground for it?
00:35:36Man, the gal's got more balls than brains.
00:35:38She nuts or what?
00:35:39She's just all woman, Lieutenant.
00:35:41Damn, I need a beer.

00:55:10I think we ought to get to know each other better.
00:55:13Excuse us, Reverend.
00:55:15Sure.
00:55:16And you still have the invitation to come up to Jericho.
00:55:20My sister, you...
00:55:22Your flowers were a comfort to Cloris.
00:55:25It was the least I could do.
00:55:27She was a friend.
00:55:28Oh, just a friend?
00:55:30But that's not what the D.C. grapevine says.
00:55:33A smart girl like you shouldn't believe in gossip,
00:55:36should you?
00:55:38♪
00:55:44Excuse me, David.
00:55:46I spoke with the congressman,
00:55:48and he has agreed to the meeting.
00:55:50Good.
00:55:51Uh, Friday Forster,
00:55:53this is, uh, my executive assistant, Charles Foley.
00:55:56Miss Forster.
00:55:58Mr. Foley.
00:56:00Uh, Charles, Miss Forster and I are going to my place
00:56:04to, uh, discuss some mutual interests.
00:56:08So watch the store, will you?
00:56:10Yes, sir.
00:56:11Nice meeting you, Miss Forster.
00:56:13While you're in Washington,
00:56:15if I can be of any assistance whatsoever,
00:56:17feel free to call.
00:56:19But when you do, just ask for Charlie.
00:56:23I'll remember that, Charlie.
00:56:25♪
00:56:32After one divorce and 12 years in Washington,
00:56:36one gets to know his people.
00:56:41More brandy?
00:56:43More brandy and I might lose all my inhibitions.
00:56:46Maybe worse.
00:56:48Look what happened to Cloris.
00:56:52Cloris was only a pal,
00:56:54just a friend.
00:56:58So we made it a few times,
00:57:00but our relationship was only physical.
00:57:05I'm really sorry about what happened.
00:57:09If I could change it, I really would.
00:57:21Will you believe me?
00:57:23Trust me?
00:57:27Then you can start trusting me.
00:57:30You can tell me what the hell is going on.
00:57:34Okay.
00:57:38Find yourself a certain Mr. Blacktar,
00:57:41and it will all come as clear as Monday's wash.
00:57:46I'm told he's the man behind it all.
00:57:50Now, why would he plan his own assassination?
00:57:54It's all part of a big power play
00:57:57to make you believe it's something it isn't.
00:58:01And what's your power play?
00:58:03Are you something you're not, too?
00:58:30Now, what will all the gossip say?
00:58:34Oh, they will probably say that I...
00:58:38made love to one of the most beautiful women
00:58:40D.C. has ever seen.
00:58:43You're very sure of yourself, aren't you?
00:58:46Are you?
00:59:01When I think about it,
00:59:03it's just as well the girl wasn't killed.
00:59:06You, uh, really think so, huh?
00:59:08Here you are, sir.
00:59:10I thought you said she came from Glantz Magazine.
00:59:12I did.
00:59:14It seems she came to Washington,
00:59:16bluffed her way into the reception
00:59:18specifically to meet with Senator Hart.
00:59:21It seems she tied the murder of her friend to the senator.
00:59:25Well, uh, did the senator tell her anything?
00:59:28No.
00:59:29Well, that's good, isn't it?
00:59:31Did, uh, she tell the senator anything?
00:59:33Only that she'd heard about Black Widow.
00:59:37Well, aren't you worried about that, Charles?
00:59:40That's why I think she could be of use to me
00:59:43if the senator will go along.
00:59:45And I think he will,
00:59:47or else I'll have to tell him
00:59:49how those thousands of contributors to his campaign
00:59:51is really just one big contributor,
00:59:54Enos Harkman Griffith,
00:59:56who is now willing to go along with me.
00:59:59Well, by herself, she's nothing but wisdom.
01:00:01Glantz Magazine behind her,
01:00:03she may be able to help you flush out Blake Tarr.
01:00:06The senator has already put a bug in her ear.
01:00:09He said that Blake Tarr
01:00:11is the one that can tell her
01:00:13about the murder of her friend, Cloris.
01:00:16He's certainly right about that.
01:00:18Isn't he, Charles?
01:00:20Blake Tarr is the answer.
01:00:22Yes, Blake Tarr is the answer
01:00:24to all our problems, Mr. Griffith.
01:00:28Well, that's what the senator said, Mr. Riley.
01:00:31His office would give us full cooperation.
01:00:38Why don't you put some sugar in your cereal?
01:00:40Nah, I don't like it too sweet.
01:00:44Hey, Blackhawk, you got any money?
01:00:46I've got barrels of it. Why?
01:00:48I got some dynamite, perfume,
01:00:50out-of-sight watches, ladies' lingerie,
01:00:52and a whole lot of other stuff for sale.
01:00:54So now you're hustling, huh?
01:00:56Nope. Strictly black capitalism.
01:00:59Well, if Glantz doesn't want the story,
01:01:01then maybe somebody else will.
01:01:13Why'd you do that?
01:01:15Why'd you hang up on him?
01:01:17Call him back.
01:01:19Why should I call him back?
01:01:21He doesn't care. I've tried so hard.
01:01:24Well, you're gonna have to try hard.
01:01:26Come on.
01:01:42Oh, Mr. Riley, I'm sorry for talking to you like that.
01:01:45Oh, Madame Rina.
01:01:47Never mind that.
01:01:49I've got information about your trip to Washington.
01:01:51Oh? What?
01:01:53I can't talk on the phone,
01:01:55but I think you'd better get your little derriere
01:01:57down here to my office now.
01:01:59Friday, I said now!
01:02:05Was that monk begging your forgiveness?
01:02:07No, it wasn't.
01:02:09It was Madame Rina, and she wants me to come over.
01:02:11Can you give me a ride?
01:02:13Only if you promise me
01:02:15there won't be any dead bodies laying around.
01:02:17Now, promise.
01:02:19All right, I promise.
01:02:32Kathy, can you see my red skirt?
01:02:35I'm crying.
01:02:37Oh, Tim, tell him it's terrible.
01:02:39I'm sorry.
01:02:43I'm sorry.
01:03:03Madame Rina, it's Friday Foster.
01:03:05Why do you have to stir things up?
01:03:07Watch out!
01:03:10Oh!
01:03:12Don't let him get away!
01:03:18You're wrong about Black Widow.
01:03:21It's in your heart, sir.
01:03:23Get a pencil and write what I say
01:03:25if you want to know the truth.
01:04:09What am I doing here?
01:04:39Get out!
01:04:51Son of a bitch.
01:05:39Shit!
01:06:10Oh!
01:06:29Call this number when you can.
01:06:32But who's?
01:06:34They'll explain.
01:06:37You're wrong about...
01:06:40Black...
01:06:42Rina.
01:06:44Rina! Rina!
01:06:56She's dead, Colt.
01:07:00Well, that makes two for today.
01:07:02But there's one of those killers
01:07:04who won't be hunting you no more.
01:07:06Anything?
01:07:10Just, um...
01:07:12nothing.
01:07:25Hello? I'm Friday Foster,
01:07:27and I'm calling from Madame Rina.
01:07:30No, she can't come to the phone.
01:07:32She's dead.
01:07:34Just now.
01:07:36No, he's dead, too.
01:07:38Hey, I haven't the slightest idea.
01:07:40Hey, she just asked me to call before she died.
01:07:43That's all I know.
01:07:48Come where?
01:07:50The city bank building?
01:07:53Hello? Hello?
01:08:04Hello?
01:08:29Hello? Anybody up here?
01:08:34Hello?
01:09:04Come on.
01:09:34Come on.
01:10:04Miss Foster? I'm Blake Tarr.
01:10:07I don't care who you are.
01:10:09You have got no right to come up here
01:10:11and scare me half to death.
01:10:16Look, I'm sorry, but there's certain precautions
01:10:18I have to take.
01:10:20Rooftops and helicopters and henchmen.
01:10:22Rina was right. You've got guts.
01:10:24What do you know about Rina?
01:10:27She worked for me.
01:10:29It's because of her and Malott
01:10:31that I came back to the States.
01:10:33And what is going on, Mr. Tarr?
01:10:36Black Widow.
01:10:38But Senator Hart was right afterwards.
01:10:40You are behind Black Widow.
01:10:43What else did the charming senator tell you?
01:10:45That you know who killed my friend, Cloris.
01:10:48And that I go around killing my own people?
01:10:50That I set myself up to be assassinated at the airport?
01:10:53Come on, does that make sense to you?
01:10:55That Hart's a clever son of a...
01:10:57You know, he's got everybody believing in that unity scam of his,
01:10:59when in reality it's just a front,
01:11:01a power grab.
01:11:03I think that Black Widow is a code name for it.
01:11:08David Lee Hart, huh?
01:11:12Rina said you could be trusted.
01:11:14That's why I'm here.
01:11:16Well, this is all a little confusing, you know.
01:11:18Well, I've got to know the when, the what,
01:11:20and the way of Hart's timetable.
01:11:22All she was able to find out was that it had something to do
01:11:24with St. Valentine's Day.
01:11:26Well, that's the day after tomorrow.
01:11:28Right, but the question is, will you help me?
01:11:30Because I've asked you.
01:11:32You're quite sure of yourself, aren't you?
01:11:36Are all black millionaires like that?
01:11:38Probably.
01:11:39Goes with the job.
01:11:42Some job.
01:11:43I can't say that I dislike it.
01:11:45Coming from the ghetto all the way to the top is quite a trip.
01:11:47But I'm curious about you.
01:11:49There are things I'd like to know.
01:11:50Like what?
01:11:51Like, who is Friday Foster?
01:11:53Where's she going?
01:11:56Who am I?
01:11:57Well, that's a funny question.
01:11:59First, I'm a woman.
01:12:02Second, I'm a photographer.
01:12:04And a big sister to a little brother
01:12:07who's really a 40-year-old man.
01:12:13And I like cats and dogs and horses and men,
01:12:17but not necessarily in that order.
01:12:20I make my own decisions.
01:12:23And I'm a Gemini.
01:12:25Is that it?
01:12:26Well, that's enough.
01:12:29Well, as far as where I'm going,
01:12:33do you mean now or in the future?
01:12:37Either way.
01:12:38Well, I see that I'm going to be getting into something
01:12:41I did not expect.
01:12:44What did you expect?
01:12:46You know what I expected?
01:12:48I expected you to be a rat,
01:12:50but you're different.
01:12:51Baby, you forget I'm straight off the block.
01:12:55I know that's what canceled my theory.
01:12:57You treat a person like a person
01:12:59and a woman like a woman.
01:13:06I try to treat a lady like a lady.
01:13:12Happy Valentine's Day.
01:13:21You didn't phone, you didn't write,
01:13:23you didn't do nothing.
01:13:26You know, you could have been dead for all I know.
01:13:29Well, I wasn't, was I?
01:13:34You know, for two days you're missing,
01:13:36and the minute you're back, you drag me here.
01:13:38Would you mind telling me why we're here?
01:13:40We are going to see the senator.
01:13:42I want to ask him a few questions,
01:13:44and I want some no-jive answers.
01:13:45To what?
01:13:46To where are all the black leaders?
01:13:48I have been calling them all over the place,
01:13:49and no one seems to know where they are.
01:13:51How would the senator know?
01:13:52Now, would a pimp lose track of his table?
01:14:23I understand you're asking for Senator Hart.
01:14:26I'm his executive secretary.
01:14:28Well, would you tell him that Friday Foster
01:14:30is here to see him,
01:14:31and I don't intend to be kept waiting.
01:14:33Well, you're going to have to,
01:14:35because he's not in,
01:14:37and he won't be at all today.
01:14:39Could you, uh, call him on the phone?
01:14:42He didn't leave a number. Sorry.
01:14:44What about, uh, his wife?
01:14:46I don't know.
01:14:47I don't know.
01:14:49He didn't leave a number. Sorry.
01:14:51What about, uh, Charles Farley?
01:14:54With the senator.
01:14:55Cole.
01:14:57Cole, this has got to be the day for Black Widow.
01:15:00And Valentine's Day.
01:15:02Now, doesn't that mean something to you?
01:15:04A massacre.
01:15:06Did he say anything about today? Anything?
01:15:09Well, the only thing he said before he left was
01:15:13that this was the day that the walls come tumbling down.
01:15:17Don't make much sense to me.
01:15:19Nothing much would.
01:15:37I don't get it. Does it mean anything to you?
01:15:40The walls come tumbling down.
01:15:43Joshua fit the battle of Jericho.
01:15:46Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
01:15:49Jericho, Jericho
01:15:51Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
01:15:53And the walls come tumbling down
01:15:55That's it! Jericho!
01:15:57Don't you know what Jericho is?
01:15:59Sweetheart, I'm a Sunday school dropout.
01:16:01That's Reverend Noble Franklin's place.
01:16:03He invited me there. Sturdy old man.
01:16:05Yeah, well, so what?
01:16:06So, the name of the place is Jericho.
01:16:08That makes sense.
01:16:09It does, huh?
01:16:10That's where the Black Widow starts.
01:16:12What are you talking about?
01:16:13Jericho! Jericho!
01:16:21What's the matter, huh?
01:16:23We've got company and not the friendly kind.
01:16:25Yeah, I see. The uglier and the uglier.
01:16:27Well, let's go out back.
01:16:28No, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
01:16:30They don't know me. I'll go down there and give them the old fast shuffle.
01:16:33You go back out and get on the horn with Blake Tarr. Can you dig it?
01:16:36Yeah, I can dig it.
01:16:43Are you sure he didn't leave a message?
01:16:46No, he can't call me back.
01:16:48I'll try again later, okay?
01:17:13Hey, brothers, what's going on?
01:17:15Hold it, blood.
01:17:17Where is Sapphire?
01:17:18So what?
01:17:36Culp, come on!
01:17:38We gotta do it alone. Follow me.
01:17:42Come on.
01:18:13Let's pull it together, fellas.
01:18:26Culp? Where's Friday?
01:18:28Hey, man, how you gonna ride in here,
01:18:30screeching and blowing your horn,
01:18:31scared the life out of me like that?
01:18:32I was fixing my car, man,
01:18:34and you come roaring in here with your bad boys in the front
01:18:36and scared the life out of me.
01:18:37Man, who are you, Jerry?
01:18:38Blake Tarr. Now, come on, get in the car, quick.
01:18:40Where are we going?
01:18:41To the airport. Come on.
01:18:42Hey, man, if that broad gets into any kind of trouble,
01:18:44I'm gonna deal with you myself, you hear me?
01:18:46First, you know I got killed and they hit me a lot,
01:18:48and then you come in with this bullshit
01:18:49about we going to the airport.
01:18:50Let me tell you what I got to do with it.
01:19:11What are you doing here?
01:19:36I'm delivering the milk.
01:19:38Hold your fire!
01:19:40All right, let's move it.
01:20:02No!
01:20:05Noble! Noble!
01:20:10Noble, his body's not strong enough!
01:20:12Quick!
01:20:17Noble!
01:20:21Where's Noble Franklin?
01:20:22I've got to see him.
01:20:24Noble Franklin.
01:20:25What's all the commotion?
01:20:26There's an army outside with enough guns
01:20:28to start World War III.
01:20:29What?
01:20:30He said the walls of Jericho
01:20:31were to come tumbling down today.
01:20:33But I didn't know he meant to shoot them down.
01:20:35Who?
01:20:36Our great leader, Senator David Lee Hart.
01:20:39He's the one behind Black Widow, and he's...
01:20:41Are you out of your mind?
01:20:45What are you doing here?
01:20:46What would I be doing here?
01:20:48Uh, he's our leader.
01:20:50The whole unity concept is his.
01:20:52But, but the walls...
01:20:54The walls of prejudice, of discrimination,
01:20:57of misunderstanding and hate.
01:21:00Every important black leader in the country is here today.
01:21:04We're acting together as one for the first time.
01:21:09But if you're not behind Black Widow,
01:21:11and Black Tar isn't behind Black Widow,
01:21:13then whose army is that?
01:21:15What army?
01:21:31Darn, why me?
01:21:35Come on.
01:21:36Shotgun the prestige.
01:21:37The best we may buy is a little time.
01:21:41Time for what?
01:21:43David, does this make any sense to you?
01:21:46Suppose you wanted to destroy black power.
01:21:49What other way than to get all of our leaders together
01:21:52in one place and wipe them out?
01:21:54But I saw blacks with the whites.
01:21:56I saw them.
01:21:57Hell, some niggers will do anything for a dollar.
01:22:12David, look out!
01:22:23David, are you all right?
01:22:25Yeah.
01:22:27Let's go.
01:22:57Let's go.
01:23:28Let's go.
01:23:47I'll get him.
01:23:57I'll get him.
01:24:27I'll get him.
01:24:51What you need is an education.
01:24:57Two or four.
01:25:01Four or eight.
01:25:12C-spot, we're up.
01:25:27We're up.
01:25:58Oh, Blake.
01:25:59Tar, man, what the hell is going on here?
01:26:02So it's evident we were wrong about each other.
01:26:05I was wrong about you, and you?
01:26:07Yeah, I was certainly wrong about you.
01:26:09I figured that you were behind Black Widow
01:26:11and that it was just a power grab.
01:26:13But then who the hell is the devil behind all this?
01:26:15Prior to that, I've told you over and over
01:26:17I'm not a man of violence.
01:26:19Right, Mr. Foley?
01:26:21Mr. Tar, I'm sorry my friends missed you at the airport,
01:26:25but they were goddamn bumbling fools.
01:26:28Oh, Mr. Foley, you're the bumbling fool.
01:26:32You thought you could sucker David
01:26:33into getting all these black leaders up here
01:26:35to massacre every last one of them.
01:26:37You couldn't lead anybody anywhere.
01:26:39You're such a fool, man.
01:26:40Oh, Mr. Foley, something you forgot,
01:26:42that us folks can stick together when it is necessary.
01:26:56train chugging
01:27:13Hey, fancy what's that?
01:27:15Hey, special delivery man is here.
01:27:18Where is that fine sister of yours?
01:27:21I want her to check this out.
01:27:23Now, I got a dynamite Gucci purse
01:27:26and some rocks from Tiffany's.
01:27:29Now, get to that.
01:27:31Hey, that's real cool, man.
01:27:33That's real cool.
01:27:35I'll take it up to her right now.
01:27:37Okay, well, you do that, little man,
01:27:39because I'm going to lay right out here.
01:27:45Hey, Friday, look what fancy sent for...
01:27:50Wow!
01:27:52Seems like I have a few admirers, doesn't it?
01:27:55Wow!
01:27:58Wow!
01:28:01The door's open.
01:28:06Oh, Colt, look at all this stuff.
01:28:09Have you ever seen so many beautiful things?
01:28:11My God.
01:28:13I brought you a little something,
01:28:15but it's too little and too late.
01:28:20Oh, Colt.
01:28:24Oh, it's beautiful.
01:28:26It's cheap.
01:28:29You know, between Senator Hart and Blake Tarr,
01:28:32I feel like a lightweight.
01:28:35You should.
01:28:37I'm going to kill him.
01:28:39Oh, Colt, but when it comes down to it,
01:28:42you're my main man.
01:28:44Shall we go?
01:28:46By all means.
01:28:48Dinner?
01:28:50Dancing?
01:28:51Flowers?
01:28:52Moonlight?
01:28:53And, uh...
01:28:55No kids.
01:28:57No kids.
01:28:59Hey, Friday, what you doing, girl?
01:29:01Hey, what you doing, girl?
01:29:03What you doing?
01:29:05Hey, Friday, what you doing, girl?
01:29:07Hey, what you doing, girl?
01:29:09What you doing?
01:29:11Friday, Friday, get it on
01:29:15Friday, Friday
01:29:17Do it
01:29:19I said do it
01:29:21Come on, girl, do it
01:29:25Do it
01:29:45Do it
