i'm working, stewart.
cassidy daley. talk to me.
depends on what you got.
i love you! so, when? where?
hooters. i go there for the hot wings.
you got a hundred bucks on you?
sorry. no can do. i have to protect my source.
we don't have a relationship. we made out 3 years ago in the copy room. i was drunk. i was broken- hearted. i would have made out with the xerox machine.
i have to go.
hey, jimmy, i.
jimmy?
let go of me, i'm a reporter, i'm warning you.
jimmy?
hiiiii-yaaaa!!!
whoops.
here, kitty kitty.
aahh!
oh. no. i'm looking for him.
maybe you can help. i'm his girlfriend.
yes. that's my name. lakeesha.
wait! ok, look: jimmy's in trouble.
something like that. all i know is, he's missing.
oh. i'm sorry.
i hear ya. anyway. mind if i take a quick look around?
i bet she would.
nope. not a thing.
no one with that name? what about a casino? nothing? thanks.
jimmy?
look, stewart, i'm busy.
i'm in miami, if you must know. i'm on the beach building a sand castle and drinking from a coconut.
hello, milo.
yeah. fancy that.
fine. you?
bright.
crisp.
what are you doing here?
you know what? i don't have time for this, i'm working.
congratulations. move your leg.
now, hold on just a second, milo.
i'm not going to jail, milo.
oh please. like you're gonna shoot me.
chicken shits.
ok, look: let's talk about this.
hey, wait a minute!
bastard.
great. perfect timing.
cassidy daley.
shit, jimmy, i thought you were dead.
i did, but i don't really get it, what's "sparrow"?
are you kidding? you think i want to share a story like this?
uh-uh, no way are you backing out on me now, jimmy. this story is way too good.
i'm at the atlantic city boardwalk. actually, i'm in the trunk of my ex- husband's car. long story. more importantly, where are you?
jimmy? hello?
you're disgusting. let me out of the trunk.
why is stewart? and wait: who said he's my boyfriend?
you know what, milo? i shouldn't have run from you like that. i was. i don't know. you caught me off-guard. the truth is, i'm kind of in some trouble and i could really use your help.
you know something, milo? you're one of the most gullible.
ow ow ow.
noooo! uncle, uncle, uncle!
dirty fighter.
should we. i don't know. hug, or something?
hey. i had to try, right?
your windshield's cracked.
and you look like shit, milo. what have you been doing, sleeping on the floor?
you have a girlfriend?
really? what's her name?
wow. is she missing a chromosome?
well, my life is great, too.
you know what i like about stewart?
he's not you.
or his worst.
still betting, huh?
or, in your case, even if you do.
really? i hadn't noticed.
don't you have to take me back?
aren't you afraid i'll get away?
ok, how about this:
if i give you all the cash in my wallet, will you let me go?
i'd really like to.
nice going, master.
why would you think we were a couple?
and i was confused.
and i was drunk.
look, milo, the truth is. my mom is in the hospital.
she might be really sick. that's why i had to jump bail.
you've already been to see her.
stewart. stewart told you.
i wouldn't trust you if you were the last man alive.
ok, you're right. i'm on a story. a very important story. it just so happens that i'm possibly about to uncover a whole ring of dirty cops.
what?
i'm serious, milo. this is gonna be big. and here's what i'm willing to do : i'm willing to credit you in the article.
why on earth would i have credited you? i worked my ass off for that story.
what's that supposed to mean?
fine. forget i mentioned it.
i mean, you're not a cop anymore, right? what do you care if people were murdered?
just my source.
well.
ok, ok, maybe he wasn't murdered yet. but i wouldn't be surprised if.
maybe this whole thing sounds like no big deal to you.
milo, listen, you have to believe me, come on, you know me.
can i have some privacy, please?
get it over with, then.
you lose a little hair?
yeah. right. i'm hiding a weapon in my breasts.
"put open end in direct contact with skin. press button"
sorry.
he says we made a terrible couple. which is true. i know that. i'm the one who thought that first. i'm the one who came up with that. the fact is, i don't want to be with someone who can't admit he was wrong.
available for what?
i hope you don't think you're telling me something that interests me.
hey, it's locked!
open the door, you son of a bitch!
uh-oh.
clever. wow. you were gonna use all that stuff on me?
ok, look, milo, let's just clear the air, ok? so maybe it was a mistake, thinking we could be involved while working on the same case.
ok. fine. but can we just put aside our differences for two seconds? because back at the casino, i think i saw someone following me.
i don't think so. this guy was lacking your trademark smell of booze and kfc.
anywho. if these dirty cops have my source hostage somewhere.
what's so funny?
oh no.
behind us. it's him. the guy i saw back at the casino.
speed up!
no!!
milo!!!
i told you they were trying to kill me!
you're still taking me to jail? but it's the cops who are after me.
but. this is important! this is my job!
milo, you don't understand what's going on!
i don't even know what that means.
i knew you couldn't figure it out.
no.
nope.
i don't think so. what kind of strip bars have you been going to, anyway?
oh, well, forget it, i knew you couldn't do it.
oh yeah?
wanna bet?
hey. aren't you going to uncuff me?
um. no.
asshole.
what is he up to?
stealing evidence from property rooms. then destroying it, for the right price.
what?
something like that.
what?
pretty proud of yourself, ey?
you weren't last time.
i said you're doing a great job.
ok, here's what i think we should do: i'll go up first, jimmy knows me, so if anything's wrong i'm sure he'll give me a sign.
but. it's my story!
asshole.
oh, ok. here's a nickle.
take it easy, honey.
i don't have one.
come on, give me something. you've got, like, a million weapons in the jacket.
i seem to remember doing just fine with your taser gun.
oh, god, is that blood?
i'm just trying to.
he is unbelievable.
so you're saying you don't want my help.
how could i find anything? i'm not the detective.
i can't.
ok. kill me now.
i'm not going in. what if they remember us?
i don't really remember.
oh, no. no, no.
actually, we're not.
so. use a credit card.
mine's max'd too. what, i like to shop.
yes, edmund, it's true. i massage his feet to help him feel like a man. it's important, especially when your husband has such a teeny tiny.
uh-huh.
make that two.
i told everyone you flunked out of 3rd grade.
i told everyone you like to wear my panties.
wow. this would be really awkward if we still had feelings for each other. which we don't.
right. we've moved on.
two casual acquaintances.
feels fantastic.
helping each other.
well. mind if i shower?
no, not sheryl. cass. your daughter.
no. you're not gonna believe this, but: i'm at cupid's cabin with milo.
mom.
mom. we're not back together.
why should i have to win him back? he should have to win me back! and who says i want him back, anyway?
look, the reason i called: i remember you worked at this one place where they had these bright green matches with, like, this silhouette of a horse on them?
i just need to know the name of the place.
i gotta go.
sneaky bastard.
the best.
you know what's great? trusting each other.
um.
if we both just went to sleep?
ok. sewage. mold. rotting carcass.
um. i can't stop thinking about you.
just. all of you.
i knew i couldn't trust you!
when were you gonna tell me you have no intention of helping me with my story?
oh my god, would you get over it already! so i cracked the case before you did, it was 3 years ago, it happened, stop being such a baby and move on!
nothing. i had her add mayo to your burger. i remember you like that.
depends on the person.
well, if the person you're referring to is you, i agree: you can't win every time.
one day stuff like that is gonna kill ya. who knows? maybe even today.
yeah, i had her add that with the mayo. is that bad? oh wait, you're violently allergic to sesame. whoops. my bad.
you know what that is? "karma". oh, and, i'll get the story. watch me.
911? yeah, there's a guy here about to go into anaphylactic shock. better hurry.
yeah, "charley's". on the boardwalk? great. thanks.
so what the hell is "sparrow"?
what kind of asshole runs up a gambling debt with a bunch of neanderthals.
he what?
milo, listen, they're not kidding, ok?
for what?
ok. maybe that was not the best.
i could have found a more mature.
i was possibly out of line.
ok, ok, i was wrong!
what?
you boys mind if i use the ladies room?
so that's what you really think? that i stole information from you?
did it ever occur to you that i just might be good at my job?
that's what i thought. you know what, milo? you're an even bigger asshole than i previously suspected, and you deserve everything that's happened to you. and everything that's about to happen to you.
get off the car, milo.
get off the car, you psychopath.
aahhh!!
no, you let go.
so, these guys have a bunch of stolen evidence stashed somewhere in atlantic city.
my mom was worried i wouldn't have plans for xmas eve.
i'm not crying.
i just.  i can't believe i going to die by being blown up and sinking to the bottom of the ocean with someone who thinks i'm a total liar.
oh yeah? what's the plan?
you mean we're going to throw the bomb out the window?
i didn't just "waltz in". you know i had been working it for months, too. isn't it possible that we're both good at our jobs, and i just happened to come out ahead?
well, neither had i!
ow.
dammit.
milo?
of course i was in love with you, why do you think i married you?
oh. my. god. you think i married you so i could get info on the case? who am i, mata hari?
she's a spy, milo.
you know, if i had something sharp right now, i would stab you.
can you just get us out of here, please?
umph.
son of a.
can you see the bomb?
did you throw it?
well, what are you waiting for?
milo.
what?
are you serious?
ok, ok.
think the water defused it?
nice job.
thanks.
think we can catch that cop?
you shouldn't have.
(muffled, face in the
i'd like to turn myself in. though i didn't do anything wrong.
and i was unjustly arrested.
oh. ok.
oh my god, what happened?
i'm touched that you would give that up for me.
well, i doubt you love me more.
right. i know. i love you a lot, too. let's just say you love me and leave it at that.
fine. cause i love you more.
	68:
hey, i owe everybody money.
i am so happy you did that.
the truth is, i'm not sure you're the right person for this job. it could be a total disaster. on the other hand, when one friend sees another friend stagnating in his own filth, he has to do something, right?
she bit him.
ok, whatever, i.
you're telling me it's five grand to go pick up my ex-wife and bring her to jail. on xmas.
ok, ok, look, she's working a big story that was supposed to be mine, and i want it back.
you're lakeesha?
i'm selfish? i'm immature? you know what? forget it. i'm not even gonna dignify this with. whatever.
ok, ok, i told one person about the xmas eve job, but she doesn't even have all the details, i swear!
she has done well, hasn't she?
listen, milo, i'm not sure we should.
where are you?
sure, if there's such a thing as better than great, which is how my luck has been lately. great.
oh. yes sir. of course. my mistake.
i'm on it.
we're not a couple.
great story. i have to get back to work now.
i would have figured it out on my own, trust me.
oh yeah? how? bullet to the back of the head?
i don't know.
i have to use the bathroom.
i know.
if only i knew exactly when and where this deal was going down. course, if i can't figure out that part, then you definitely can't figure out that part, because we both know i'm much smarter than you.
fine. guess we'll never know.
it's a business.
when jimmy called earlier, someone else was there. and they disconnected the call.
it's my story, i don't break stories by staying in the car!
godammit. son of a bitch.
wait a second: where's my gun?
i don't know. where is your gun?
hey. lots of kids have imaginary friends, despite what my mother believes.
fine.
ok.
what was what?
drop the weapon, now!
looks like they remember us.
ya think?
and you came back! to celebrate your anniversary!
you have any money?
no, as you recall, i gave you all my money at the blackjack table.  you blew all the money!
wow.
great.
hey. it's me.
oh my god.
yes. yes i am.
i didn't know you were still so attracted to me. i mean, i remember how you used to like to greet me at the door in nothing but a.
yes, it's true, i'm still attracted to you.
my great hair? my chest? or. something lower like.
you're right. i'm not helping you. this is my story now. this time i get to come out on top! karma, babe. k-a-r-m-a. karma.
what's wrong?
jimmy?
hey. who the fuck are you?
what do you want, you crazy bitch?
and i'm not his girlfriend.
ok, ok. i looked through your files. are you happy?
milo boyd is in here!
it's a long story.
you know, if i was them, i'd store the evidence on a boat, drive the boat about 30 miles out, and blow the whole thing up.
no. i'm not.
well.
i'm with you. go, team, go.
oh. well, i.  look, i was confused, i had never been in love before!
i'm ok. ok, we need to turn to the right, and wait for the next wave.
i know that. everybody knows that. mata hari the spy.
i love you.
