Post by bunniefuu »

Hey, mister.

- Me?
- Yeah, you.

Come here. Look at this.

Look at this.

Two-carat diamond solitaire.
Flawless.

You take this home to your wife,
she'll think you're Rambo.

It's yours for , bucks.

I'm not really in the market
for diamonds.

Oh, we're not talking diamonds here,
we're talking investment.

Look at this, carats.

It's worth -, , .
For you, bucks.

No, I don't think so.

One of a kind. Custom-designed.

Look at the quality.
Look at the setting.

Look, , I throw in the chain.

Fourteen-carat gold.
Look at the clasp.

Hey, thanks, but no, thanks, okay?

Why, because you think it's hot?

Come on.

If it's really worth $ ,
and you're trying to sell it for $ ,

of course it's hot.

All right, not so loud, all right.

I can't fool you, man. It's hot.

Hundred bucks.

- Hundred bucks?
- Hundred bucks.

Let me see it again.

Not so obvious, man.
There are people around.

- Fifty bucks.
- Fifty bucks? What, are you nuts?

The clasp alone
is worth more than that.

Take it or leave it.

All right, all right.
You leave me no choice.

You can't cheat an honest man.

Got any idea what the assignment
is yet, kemosabe?

No, not yet.

Just that's it's around here
somewhere.

And you're listening
to on your AM dial.

Switching you live
to the news scene

in the block
of Eastwood Boulevard

where Rich Richards is standing by.

Chuck, I am standing opposite
the Eastwood Arms Apartments

where a major fire
is now in progress

that threatens to envelop
an entire neighbourhood

of apartment buildings
and resident hotels.

That sounds like a bad one.

Police are in the process
of closing off the area

and the fire has already jumped
to two adjoining buildings.

- Mark, turn around.
- What's up?

I just got our assignment.

When are these clowns
gonna show?

I don't like sitting around
with a million bucks, you know?

They'll be here.

Mr. Doyle says
these guys get some primo stuff.

Be worth times
what's in that briefcase on the street.

Yeah, well, I just wish they'd show.

I don't like sitting around like this,
waiting.

Not with this much money.

Open up, it's the police.

Yeah? What is it, officer?

We have to tell everyone
in this building

that you may have
to evacuate tonight.

Evacuate? What's going on here?

Fire out of control
over on Eastwood Boulevard.

That's two blocks away.

Yeah, but if that fire jumps,

those two blocks
are gonna go very quickly.

Gather up whatever you wanna take,
just to be on the safe side,

because if you have to evacuate,
you'll have to move fast.

Yeah, right. Thank you, officer.

It's about time.

Open up, please. It's the police.

- It's the cops.
- Cops?

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

Mister, look at this.

Take a look.
Beautiful diamond solitaire.

- Two-carat diamond for the lady.
- Hey.

- I heard that story before.
- You ain't heard this one.

- It's a beautiful--
- Let's get out of here.

You look wonderful
in your velour outfit, madam.

Thank you.

Hey, you jerk,
you knocked me down.

Why don't you watch
where you're going?

My mistake, my mistake.

Never mind about him, Bushy.
Grab the briefcase.

Let's go.

Nice guys.

You might have broke
all my diamonds.

Oh, my God.

I'm rich.

I'm a millionaire. I'm a billionaire.

- Hey, you!
- I'm dead.

But I'm gonna die rich.

Where did he go?

You go down around the block.
I'll go back the other way.

- Nothing.
- Nothing.

We'd better find him, though,
or Mr. Doyle is gonna k*ll us.

- Excuse me, Father.
- Bless you, my son.

Hey, you!

You!

I'm sorry if we startled you.

Well, you did.

What's going on here, Father?

What do you mean?

Well, I mean, this place, it was...

It was deserted, all boarded up.

They closed this church years ago.

I know.

It's sort of a grand opening.

Oh, you're opening
the place tonight?

That's right, Father.

Father?

Oh, Father.

Well, you see...

They're coming in
through the side door. I gotta hide.

The confessional is a good place.

Yeah.

Mark,
why don't you open the front door?

You got it.

He's gotta be around here
someplace.

Oh, hi. Nice night, huh?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, we thought
you was closed there, Father.

Well, we're open now, in case
you'd like to come in and confess.

Not without an attorney,
if you know what I mean.

Cute, my son. Cute.

He's gotta be in there. Let's go.

But that's a church.

Even if he's in there,
you can't do anything in the church.

For a million bucks, Bushy, I'd push
the button on a guy in Saint Peter's.

Come on, Mick.

That ain't right, not in a church.

Let's hang out here.

He's bound to come out
and we nail him.

All right.

We'll wait.

But not forever.

Go around back.

See if he tries to slip out.

Okay.

Hi.

Oh, Father, hi.

- Hi, how you doing?
- Not so good, you know?

Well, you wanna talk about it?

- Could we?
- Sure, that's what this is all here for.

Oh, yeah, right.

Listen, Father, anything I say to you
in here don't go no further, right?

I mean, you gotta keep it a secret.
Ain't that the way it works?

Don't you know, Father?

Oh, yeah.

Well, see, see,
that's part of what I wanna tell you.

- I'm not really a priest.
- Me neither.

Oh, yeah. And I found this briefcase.

- With a million bucks in it.
- Well, I didn't have time to count.

A million bucks? How do you know?

Well, like I said, I'm not a priest.

You're not? What are you?

I'm an angel.

You're an angel.

Yeah, well, Father,

I think you been hanging
around the pews a little too long--

Hi.

- How'd you do that?
- I told you, I'm an angel.

Right. I gotta get out of here.

I wouldn't do that.

You really don't wanna talk
to Bushy and Mick

about that money just now, do you?

Who's Bushy and Mick?

The two very large people
waiting for you outside.

The ones you took the briefcase from,
after they knocked you down.

Oh, my God.

I wish you wouldn't do that.
He doesn't like his name used in vain.

Who doesn't?

He doesn't.

Oh, yeah, right, him.

You see, Charley,
this is one of those crossroads in life.

You've got a lot of decisions
to make tonight.

Yeah, well, do you think
maybe I could kind of hang out here

until those two large fellows kind
of split, then I'll get out of your hair?

If that's what you decide to do,
it's your decision.

- Right.
- Bless me, Father--

Father, are you all right?

There's somebody--

Father, are you okay?

What do you want?

I can't hear you, Father.

- Keep your voice down, will you?
- Oh, sorry.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

You've sinned?

Well, nobody's perfect,
so don't worry about it, okay?

Father,
I don't understand what's going on.

Well, it's a long story.

Look, it's been nice talking to you,
but I gotta split,

so I'll see you around, okay?

On second thought,
tell me about your sins.

- Jonathan.
- Yeah?

Guy's still hanging around out there.

Yeah, seems like he's looking
for something.

Well, he's not looking for religion,
you know what I mean?

That guy
is with the bent-nose crowd.

I mean, you may not be able
to recognise him, but...

Actually, I think he's looking for a priest
or someone dressed like a priest.

He is? What for?

I think he wants to k*ll him.

Maybe we better take
these things off.

Don't you think
it's a little sacrilegious?

So how long has it been
since you've been to confession?

- Twenty hours.
- Twenty hours?

And I thought I had an exciting day.

Maybe I ought to get
the other priest.

Oh, no, no, no,
don't get the other priest. I'm all yours.

So, my child,
tell me about your sins.

Well, let's see.

I had angry thoughts
about one of my customers.

Customers?

On Table .

I'm a waitress.

There were these men,
they were so rude.

I asked them what they wanted,
they couldn't make up their minds,

so I said I'll come back
when they decided.

They said they wanted soup,
so I brought them soup.

They said, "I don't want the chowder,
I want the minestrone."

I bring minestrone,
they say they changed their mind,

they want the special.

I know what you mean, I deal
with those kind of mooks all the time.

- You do?
- Yeah.

- Well, I work with the public, don't I?
- But I got angry with them.

- Well, you had a right to.
- I did?

Yeah,
you seem like a nice person there,

and these guys are just
jerking you around, giving you grief.

- What else?
- What do you mean, what else?

Well, I mean, what other sins?

I mean,
that wouldn't even get you a Hail Mary.

I mean,
that wouldn't even get you a hail.

So, what else you got?

Well, wait a minute, let's see.

Wait a minute, I'm thinking.

You still thinking?

Yeah.

The truth is,
I don't have anything else to confess.

Well, that's okay.
Sometimes, you get a slow day.

I just came here to talk.

I don't have anyone to talk to.

Excuse me, Father.

Oh, boy, am I glad to see you.

Not half as glad as I am to see you.
I thought this church was closed.

We felt there was a need for it
in the community again.

You don't know the half of it.

That fire over on Eastwood Boulevard
is going like crazy.

Thousands of people are gonna be
without a place to sleep tonight.

Every shelter in town is full.

Churches, gyms, schools,
you name it.

- Well, what can we do?
- You can take some of them in.

They'll need a place to sleep,
something to eat

and people
who are just willing to listen.

We'll be glad to help.

Good, we'll bus them over
as soon as we're ready.

Sometimes I go to the church
on rd Street.

And then I go
to the one over on Overton.

And there's a real pretty little one
on th and Grand.

I like to go there.

You get around, don't you?

Well, it's just so embarrassing
to go to the same church.

I mean, I think I bore the priests.

Last night,
the Father fell asleep on me.

I could hear him snoring.
It was just so embarrassing.

Can I ask a stupid question?

I mean, why don't you go to a social
or something?

I mean, if you're lonely,
why don't you meet somebody?

Well, it's just...

I get so embarrassed, tongue-tied.

I'm not a very interesting person
and I'm very shy.

- Yeah, well, I think you're interesting.
- You do?

Yeah, I never met
a compulsive confessor before.

Wait, wait, wait, I take that back.

There was this one kid
in reform school,

he'd confess to anything.

You were a chaplain
in reform school?

Yeah, well, I was kind of a guest.

If you don't mind me saying so,

I mean, you ain't so different
from everybody else.

I mean, everybody gets lonely.

But you gotta do something about it.

I mean,
you gotta want something

more than to just sit on your side
of the screen, putting priests to sleep.

- I do. I want to--
- What?

I want to love someone,

share my life with someone.

Have kids, a home, bake things,
have the holidays together.

Nothing very exciting maybe,
but just warm.

I wanna be Mrs. Somebody
and have kids.

Father, I know I could make some
lucky man the best wife in the world.

And you know why?

Because I'm ready to give.

I know I'm no beauty queen,
but I'm a nice person.

And there must be some man
out there who's lonely too,

who, you know, has the same needs
and is ready to give too,

who wants the same things
that I want too.

I mean, don't you think?

Oh, yeah, there's a lot of people
out there leading pretty empty lives.

Believe me, I know.

It's too bad they can't meet like this,

you know,
with a screen between them.

Yeah.

Then they could just sort of,
you know,

show what's in their hearts
without having to put on airs.

You know, get to know
what's really inside a person.

Yeah, well,
what's inside you is pretty nice, miss.

Pretty damn nice.

Thank you.

I never confessed all that
to a priest before.

You know,
it really wasn't like confessing.

It was sort of like talking.

Yeah, well, I never had no broad
talk to me like this neither.

I mean, most of the time,
it's, "Honey, can you buy me a drink?"

You know what I mean?

Not really.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Well, if you do find somebody,
he's gonna be a lucky man.

A very lucky man.

Goodbye, Father.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

- Miss?
- Yes, Father?

I wonder if you could help us.

We've got a real situation
on our hands here tonight.

They'll be people coming in here
looking for shelter.

They've been b*rned out
of their homes.

I wonder if you could help us.

- Doing what?
- Well, anything.

Preparing food or talking to them,

just helping them
get through the night.

Oh, I don't know. I mean, I'd like to,
but I'm not very good with people.

I'm kind of shy.

Please, they really need you.

I do have the day off tomorrow.
Of course I'll help.

I'll just go home and change.
I'll be right back.

Thank you very much.

These sirens
are giving me the willies.

Same here.

Church or no church, we're taking it.

Oh, Jonathan,
listen, I was thinking--

Relax.

Excuse me, Father.

I'm looking for a friend of mine,
came in here tonight.

What do you want with him?

I got business with him.

I'm afraid you'll have to do that
somewhere else.

This is a house of worship,
not a place to do business.

Padre, I'm trying to be nice.

The guy stole something from me.
I gotta get it back.

- Well, what was it?
- A briefcase.

Just a briefcase, or was there
something of value inside?

I mean, we really should know,
in case we find it.

It's just a briefcase.

It's got a lot of sentimental value.

I am a very sentimental guy
about that briefcase.

I can understand that.
Why don't you go to the police?

I don't need no cops.

I can handle this myself.

Now, I'm gonna ask you nice
one more time.

- Where is he?
- Father, could you give me a hand?

I've got a truckload of blankets
and food.

Blankets and food.
You betcha you, right now.

Maybe you should file a stolen report
with that officer, huh?

Come on, let's get out of here.

Hey, Mr. Angel,
thanks for saving my neck.

Well, they're not gone, you know.
They'll be waiting for you outside.

What are you gonna do, Charley?

I don't know.

Why don't you
just give them the money back?

I ripped these guys off.
I go anywhere near them and I'm dead.

Then give the money to the police.
That officer will be back in a minute.

You're gonna tell him?

No, I'm not gonna tell him.
It doesn't work that way.

This is your decision to make,
not mine.

Oh, well, if it's my decision,
I'm gonna keep it.

I just gotta find a place to stash it

till I can figure out
how to get out of here.

Excuse me.

I don't understand you.
Why do you wanna keep it?

Why? Because it's a million bucks,
that's why.

For that kind of money,
they're not gonna stop looking for you.

You'll be running your whole life.
Is it worth it?

You better believe it.

That money means that much
to you?

The stuff of life's in this briefcase.

If you got it, you're somebody.

If you don't, you're nobody. Nothing.

Just another chump
scrambling for a buck.

If you got it, everybody's your friend.

If you got it, what's in this briefcase,
you ain't got a care in the world.

Then why do you look so scared,
Charley?

Because I ain't figured out
how to get out of here, that's why.

Look, Charley, I got a busload
of people coming in here tonight

who've lost everything they had
in this world.

If you wanna stay in here,
you're gonna have to help them.

Mr. Angel, you got yourself a deal.

Oh, boy.

Hi, Mr. Doyle.

Where's my money, Bushy?

Mr. Doyle, we had a little problem.

I already heard about your problem.

Johnny the Tooth said he showed up
and you guys wasn't there.

The cops came in, Mr. Doyle.
We had to split.

Yeah, well, that can happen.

But you know, I give a couple guys
a million bucks to make a buy for me

and they disappear.

If I was of a suspicious nature,

I might think they was trying
to rip me off.

Oh, no, Mr. Doyle,
we'd never do nothing like that.

Then where's my money?

Couple of my guys spot the two of you
sitting out here in front of a church.

What are you gonna do,
make a donation?

The money's in the church,
Mr. Doyle.

There's a guy dressed like a priest.
He's got it.

He ain't going nowhere.

Well, if you know where it is
and you know who's got it,

why don't you get it?

I tried. There was a cop in there.

The cop still in there?

No, but there's a priest.

A couple of them.

Two guys, big deal. Let's go.

But, Mr. Doyle, he's a priest.

Hey, Mick, don't kid yourself.
It's either them or you.

You know what I mean.

What the hell's going on here?

Sandwiches and coffee
right down in the front.

We got sandwiches, coffee.
You'll find blankets and pillows.

Just keep moving down to the front.
Sandwiches and coffee.

It'll be all right.
Sandwiches and coffee down front.

You'll find blankets, pillows.

Just keep moving down front.
Sandwiches and coffee.

Why don't you try the tuna sandwich?
They're the best.

Actually,
the egg salad isn't bad either.

Sandwiches and coffee down front.

Hi.

Oh, we meet again, Father.

Hey, what are you doing here?

You didn't get b*rned
out of your apartment?

Oh, no, I came to help.

You know, I never got your name.

Oh, Wanda.

Oh, I'm Charley.

Oh, well, pleased to meet you,
Father Charley.

Sandwiches and coffee down front.

We've got coffees and sandwiches
up there.

No, no, I don't drink coffee at night.

Etta says it keeps me up.

I don't know where she is.

Father, my wife.

Where's my wife?

- Was she on the bus with you?
- No, she was in the apartment.

I was at work. I'm a watchman.

She was in the apartment.

I tried to get in there,
but the whole place was on fire.

They wouldn't let me in, the firemen.

I couldn't get her out, Father.

Listen, look,
maybe the firemen got her out.

Maybe she's at another shelter.

No, I saw all the people they got out.

I saw them all. She wasn't there.

I asked them all.

They said they got everybody out,
but she wasn't there.

She must be still in there.

Father, my Etta.
The fire, the flames.

And they couldn't get to her, Father.

Mommy, I wanna go home.

Ray, take Beth. I've got the baby.

I'm not exactly empty-handed myself,
okay?

Well, I've got the baby.

- Mommy, I wanna go home.
- Kids, let's quiet down, okay?

Will you just quiet down?

Beth, be quiet!

I wanna go home.

I'm sorry, honey.
Beth, I'm sorry. I just...

Mommy and Daddy are upset too,
Beth.

Mommy, I wanna go home.

Well, we don't have a home anymore.
Do you understand that?

We don't have anything.

Excuse me. Maybe I can help.

Come here, sweetheart.

I don't want to. I wanna go home.

Oh, it's all right, darling.

Come here.That's okay.

It's gonna be all right, I'm sure.

It's okay, honey.

That's it, just lie back.

What are you thinking about, Charley,
your money?

No,
I wasn't thinking about my money.

Then why don't you help?

Help? How can I help?

Try giving a little,
for once in your life.

I'm not talking
about your precious money.

There's a lot more in this life
than what you found in that briefcase.

Hey there. What's going on here?

Go away.

Oh, honey,
don't talk to the Father that way.

He's not my father.

She got you there.

Hey, what's wrong, sweetheart?

I lost my dolly.

Oh, you had to leave your dolly
in the apartment?

Yeah.

- You wanna see something?
- No.

Well, this is something special.
This is something super special.

- What?
- Well, you gotta stop crying.

You see,
I gotta have your complete attention.

But you're gonna like this,
I promise you.

What?

I see a tear there.

I don't wanna see no tears
when I show you this,

because this is something that's gonna
make you the luckiest little girl around.

When the other little girls
see you with this,

they're gonna wish they was you.

- They will?
- Yeah.

Do you ever play dress-up?

You ever get dressed up
like you're a grown-up beautiful lady?

Sometimes.

Well, take a look at this.

- What is it?
- What is it?

This, my little darling,
is a genuine -carat diamond solitaire.

Flawless, custom-designed,
one of a kind.

- The only one like it in the world.
- It is?

Do you think a priest
would lie to you?

Look at the setting, look at the quality.
You see this chain?

Fourteen-carat gold.

You see the clasp?

The clasp alone is worth bucks,
and you know what?

What?

Give me your hand.

It's yours.

It's your first grown-up present.
Your first real diamond.

It's mine for keeps?

Yeah, it sure is.
Long as you stop crying.

Mommy, look, I got a diamond
with carats and everything.

Never met a broad yet
who didn't light up for a sparkly.

Any age. Gets them every time.

Well, I better get back to work.

How do you feel, Charley?

What do you mean?

I mean, how do you feel?

I don't know.

Well, now that you mention it,
I feel weird.

- Like good weird or bad weird?
- "Weird" weird.

I mean, I don't feel bad, but it's not
how I feel when I hustle somebody.

I mean,
I used the same words, but--

But this time, you feel good.

Yeah, yeah.

Maybe I do. Maybe I do feel good.

That's what's weird.
I mean, I didn't get nothing.

Oh, yes, you did, Charley.
You got that feeling.

You know, the funny thing is,
the more you give like that,

the more you get that feeling.

That don't make sense.

Oh, yes, it does, Charley.

Yes, it does.

Father.

I just wanna tell you
how beautiful it was,

what you gave that little girl.

Oh, that? I mean, that was nothing.

I mean, that was no real diamond.
It's just brass and glass.

I wasn't talking about the pendant.

You gave her hope
and a beautiful memory.

Sure, you gave her a part
of yourself.

That wasn't brass and glass.

Looked like the real thing to me.

There he is.

Okay, let's go.

Good evening, Mr. Doyle.

- You talking to me?
- Yeah, that is your name, isn't it?

Grab him.

Okay, what's going on?
How do you know my name?

Oh, I know a lot about you,
Mr. Doyle.

I know you're one
of the biggest drug dealers in the city.

I know you came here tonight
looking for a briefcase full of money.

Money to buy more dr*gs
to sell to children.

You're no priest, are you?

No, I'm no priest.

You're in with that other phoney.

No, I just met him tonight.

My boss sent me
on this assignment.

Your boss, huh?

Who is he, Jimmy the Ox?

No, no, bigger than that.

Harry the Hook?

- Bigger.
- Nobody's bigger than Harry the Hook.

Not in this town.

God is.

- What?
- God is.

My boss is God.

You hear this nut?

So your boss is God, huh?

Well, you better tell me
where that briefcase is

or you're gonna be joining
your boss.

I'll give you three.

I wouldn't talk like that,
especially in here.

One, two, three.

I got a feeling you're in big trouble.

I don't blame you.

She's asleep.

You look like
you're an old hand at that.

Me? No, I never done this before.

- That's right. You're a priest.
- Yeah.

I wish you weren't.

I'll go get some blankets.

Better watch out, Charley.

I think she's falling in love with you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
can I have your attention?

I have what I think
is some pretty good news.

A number of the downtown hotels
have volunteered

to make all of their vacant rooms
available to you.

All right, all right, listen.
Listen to me.

You get your belongings together

because some buses
are going to be arriving very shortly

to take you all downtown, all right?

Well, I guess you won't be needing me
around here anymore.

It was nice, Father.

Working with you
and being around you, it was nice.

Wanda, listen, those buses
will be getting here pretty soon.

Remember what you said to me
in the confessional

about you looking for someone
to share your life with?

Yes, but, well--

I want that someone to be me.

- But, Father, you're a priest.
- I ain't no priest.

- What?
- I'm not a priest.

Look, Wanda, all my life,

I've been as phoney
as that fake diamond I gave the kid.

But what I'm saying to you now,
it ain't phoney, it ain't fake.

I want the same thing that you want.

And I want it with you.

But, Father--

Not Father, Charley.
CharleyTrappola.

Look, let's go someplace
where we can talk, okay?

Martin, the buses are ready.

I prayed.

I prayed all night for my Etta.

That she'd come back to me,

that she'd be all right.

Martin! Martin!

Martin!

Martin.

Etta.

Is it--? Oh, it's really you.

Wanda, there's no time.
These guys are after me.

That's why you gotta say
yes or no now.

Because if it's yes,
we'll just get on one of the buses.

I'll change out of my clothes.
They won't recognise me.

If they do, they won't do anything
in front of the cop.

But if those guys are chasing you,
why don't you just tell the police?

Because then I gotta tell them
about the money.

Wanda, this is our meal ticket.

With this, we could be happy
for the rest of our lives.

It's stolen money, Charley.

It's stolen from the bad guys.

Where'd they get it from?
Who did they steal it from?

Who cares?

I care.

Charley,
I don't need a million dollars.

I don't wanna start a life
running away.

That's no life at all.

Wanda, my whole life,
I've been waiting for a score.

And this is it.

My whole life, I've been waiting
for someone to share it with.

For one second,

for one beautiful second,

I thought I found him.

Guess I was wrong.
I guess I just found brass and glass.

Wanda, with this money,
it could be diamonds.

Real ones.

I don't need diamonds, Charley.

I need a home. A nest.

With a good man to share it with
who nobody's chasing.

Goodbye, Charley.

I see you made your decision, Charley.
You got your money.

Yeah,
if I live long enough to spend it.

Oh, you'll live long.

Not if those guys out there
have anything to say about it.

Those guys aren't out there.
They're gone.

What do you mean? Gone where?

Well, the boss doesn't make me privy
to that information.

But I can guarantee you,
they're gone.

You mean, I can just walk out of here
with the money?

If that's what you really want.

Yeah, sure. You kidding?

Thanks, Mr. Angel.

I'll see you around.

Well, you did your best, you know.

Yeah.

What's wrong, Charley?

Wrong?

I got a million bucks in this case
and I'm miserable, that's what's wrong.

Why? You got what you wanted.

No, I didn't get what I wanted.
I wanted it all, the money and the girl.

What do you want with her? With a
million bucks, you can buy company.

Not like her.
She didn't even care about the money.

No, she just wanted you.

Yeah, she did, didn't she?

She cared more about me
than a million bucks.

Just me, brass-and-glass Charley.

You weren't glass and brass
to Wanda.

I don't even know where she lives.

I don't even know her last name.

- I do.
- You do?

You want a lift?

Yeah. Yeah.

The fire department now reports
full containment by this afternoon.

And as we said earlier, there have
been no reports of fatalities.

In a related development,

a Good Samaritan
has stepped forward

to ease the burden
of an awful lot of victims.

A briefcase with $ million

has been deposited at city hall
by an anonymous donor.

So the next time someone says

there isn't a tooth fairy or Santa Claus
or guardian angel,

you just tell them to check
with the mayor's office

because they know better.

Oh, Charley.

Oh, Charley. I gotta go find him.

Oh, Charley.
Charley, was that you on the news?

Yeah. You wanna see something?

Genuine brass and glass.
One of a million.

Ain't worth two bits,

unless you say yes
and put it on your finger.

And then all the money in the world
wouldn't buy another one like it.

Well?

Yes.

Oh, Charley.

I love you.

I love you.

Hey, Mark, Mr. Angel, thanks.

Don't mention it.

Hey, Charley, how does it feel?

Like a million bucks.
Can you believe it?

CharleyTrappola
feels like a million bucks.

So long, Charley.
Give my best to the missus.
