easy fellas. be with you in just a second.
you should have seen what she wanted to do with the place. mauve. so what's your name?
full name.
i see. and what do you do for a living, mr. fletch?
why are you doing this mr. fletch?
for a gentleman who was just found holding a bag full of heroin.
we're looking at five years, maybe ten. is that what you want. jane doe?
your editor called me yesterday to respond to allegations you're about to print about police involvement in narcotics dealing.
i'm about to break that beach wide open, and i don't need some pennyante woodward and bernstein getting in the way of my men.
you idiot. off the record, deep background: i've got that beach crawling with undercover cops.
if you keep nosing around, you make the bad guys just a little bit more cautious. that makes my job harder. and if you print your story this week, you might get some of my men killed. i can't let that happen, mr. fletch.
you go back to that goddamn beach, i swear to god i'll make you regret it.
maybe i'm not going to keep you here. maybe i'm gonna blow your brains out.
after i shoot you, i stick the knife in my arm, then place it in your dead hand. self-defense. we don't do this very much anymore. but we have. got rid of a lot of minorities that way.
ask anybody.
what'll it be fletch?
its been very nice meeting you. i enjoy your column.
speaking of which, you're not going to print anything before my investigation is through, are you?
that a boy.
thanks for coming down to see us.
greetings, everyone.
put the gun down, alan. i'll take care of them.
under control? you idiot. you didn't know who he was?
fat sam left the beach today. so did gummy. it began to occur to me that some things are beginning to happen that maybe i should be aware of.
what, 'long distance?' i couldn't help but hear you say something about rio, alan. you're not leaving with the eight hundred thousand dollars i staked you for the next load, are you?
your 'foolproof' way is going to land my a** on the front page while you're basking in rio.
this one's going to be even more fun.
