Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.


Sherlock.


It's supper time.


Oh, this is yummy.


Daddy loves sherlock's food.


Nummy, nummy, num num.


You know, it's not bad.


Simpson, there's a storm coming.


Would you please close the door? It's freezing in here.


It'll be right here, sherlock.


Look, simpson.


Just because joey thought he saw sherlock in the backyard


Doesn't mean he's there.


Simpson, your cat's been gone three days.


Now, face it -- he's run away.


That's what cats do. They run away.


What's he got to run away from?


Being the mascot at the police station, he's got it made.


He lays around all day. People bring him food.


He's got a warm place to sleep and a roof over his head.


You should have his life.


I do.


You pea-head girl.


Who are you calling "pea-head"?


Nell, I have never been so mortified in my life.irl.


I told you I'm not talking to you.


What happened?


Nell started crying at the travel agency


When I booked my flight to hawaii.


I mean, the girl became hysterical.


Any normal human being would become hysterical


If her very best friend were going off to hawaii


And I can't go with her.


Now, why did you let me spend it on my sister's wedding?


Nell, get ahold of yours


Nell, don't you think I feel guilty going without you?


Well, then, stay home. I got reservations.


Cancel them. I sent a $ deposit.


I'll give you your money. You don't have $ .


Do you take a credit card? There!


I understand how you feel, nell.


I was gonna go to hawaii last year, but I couldn't


'Cause sherlock came down with the flu.


You gave up a trip to hawaii to sit up with a sick cat?


I couldn't relax in hawaii


While sherlock was sick in glenlawn.


Aha! Now, you see, that's a sign of true friendship.


Nell, you are not a cat.


You want to see my claws?


Nell, you know this is addy's only chance


To get away from work, so why are you blaming her?


[ Chuckling ] hey!


I'm not blaming her.


Honest. Come here, addy, sweetheart, lover, baby.


Come here.


Look, I really want you to go to hawaii,


And I want you to have a good time.


I want you to enjoy that beautiful room


That we picked out together.


You know, the one


With that beautiful view of the ocean.


I want you to have that view,


So you can get a good look at that tidal wave


Th'm hoping will hit that hotel,


Knocking a palm tree against the door,


Trapping you in just before that volcano erupts,


Pouring hot lava all over your open-toed shoes.


Nell, what a thing to say.


Addy would never wear open-toed shoes.


Thank you, katie.


[ Wind howling ]


May I ask who tied that cat to the gardoor?


I did, chief.


Well, you shouldn't have.


I do have an a*t*matic garage door opener.


Is she all right?


Damndest thing --


Never seen a cat climb a rope so fast before.


Simpson, why would you tie a cat to a garage door?


Well, she's a girl cat,


And sherlock is a boy cat.



So, I figured...


Well, I don't have to tell you, nell.


You're a woman of the world.


Yeah, but I never thought of tying myself to a garage door


Just to get a man.


Of course, now, if that works...


Did for me.


Well, simpson, get murphy back his cat.


Here, you'll need this.


All right, chief.


[ Cat screeches ] not yet!


I'd better go. I've go pack for my flight.


Addy! Addy -- oh, honey, I suddenly feel sick.


Is the room spinning?


Yeah.


Okay, I must be just coming down with the flu or something.


Well, you can have the flu, 'cause I'm going to hawaii.


Would go if I had [coughs] pneumonia?


Yes.


How about if I had the plague?


Yes.


Would you leave me here if I --


I hope you get sand in your bikini!


Oh!


Boy, it's raining cats and dogs out there.


Any of them look like sherlock?


I am freezing.


How about a spot of hot tea to warm your bones?


Grandpa, the hot tea permeating your system


Creates a temporary sensation of warmth,


But actually your bones are just as cold as they ever were.


That is the most depressing thing I have ever heard.


I think I'll have a diet cola.


Julie, get out of those wet clothes.


I'll put on some tea to warm your bones.


Chief ahh.


Oh, nell, I'm glad you're here.


I'm afraid I have some bad news.


Just throw your pants in the dryer,


And we'll forget all about it.


These belonged to simpson.


Does he know he lost them?


We found these on the riverbank.


Wait a minute. What are you saying?


What happened?


This eyewitness saw a cat hanging on a limb


Above the river.


He saw a policeman climb out on the limb,


Trying to coax the cat back to shore.


The cat fell into the river.


The cop went after him.


That's it. He's a goner.


Grandpapa, don't say that.


Chief it looks pretty bad, nell.


Chief, isn't it possible


He could have been washed ashore somewhere?


I mean, he could be hanging onto a rock.


I'm afraid not, nell.


This storm has made the river raging out of control.


He's a goner.


Grandpapa!


Well, what about helicopters and frogmen?


Not until the storm clears up.


He's a goner.


Grandpapa!


Now, I'm not gonna let you give up on simpson.


I am not going to give up on simpson.


I mean, he had a will to live.


Look, I don't care how much that river is raging.


Simpson will find a way to keep himself afloat.


Heldn't swim, nell.


He's a goner.


Too bad.


I can't believe it --


That dear, sweet, kind soul...


Giving his life to save a cat.


Well, it just goes to show you


That that's an act of a man that is totally unafraid,


Totally unselfish...


Totally unbalanced.


Well, it took a lot of courage


For him to go out in that wind.


[ Voice breaking ] he had terrible hay


Bu was one of my guys, and I'm a miss him.ld,


Gonna miss his silly little walk,


Lly laugh, silly way he wore his hat.


They can't take away from me. His silly little walk,


Orbell rings ]


No, they can't take that away fro.


S hard tliev this couldpen on I'm so sorry.


I heard news on the r.


I know howse you all w to simpson.


Oh, addy.


You know, simpso was like a brother to me.


I know.


He's like a grandson to grandpapa...


Yeah.


...a nephe the chief, an uncle to the girls,


A father, a cousin to --


Uh, nell, I get the picture, honey.



Oh, nell, I went through simpson's desk,


And I found a li cigox with sor you.


Well, d he leave m a box of ci


He -- he left you this envelope.


Oh, okay.


Oh, no.


O be opened in event of my death while on duty."


I can't read that. Nell, you have to!


Simpson wanted you to.


Honey, no matter how painful, simpson wanted you to.


True.


"Dear nell..


[ Sobbing ] "dear nell"!


[ Sobs ]


"Everything I have, I'm leaving to you,


Because you and i, dear nell..."


[ Sobbing ]


Shh.


"...we share something in common -- the chief.


"Just like we always talked about.


"Because we're with him so much,


I know your life, like mine, is a living hell."


Living hell?


It's just a figure of speech.


"I hope you will take it -- take this and enjoy it.


And don't forget me -- your friend for life..."


Life. Life.


"Ralph waldo simpson."


Nell, what's in the envelope?


Oh.


[ Gasps ]

Probably his life savings. Bbing ]$ ,

You cannot tak a frivolous vacation


In your time of sorrow.


Not with poor simpson ly at the botto the river.


But, dad, sin left her the money njoy herself.

Until today.


I am so torn up on the inside.

And have a good time, but the other part of me says,


"How can I have a time in my ow?"

Bye-bye.


You can't go, nell.


Oh, samantha, knock it off.


Nell, you can go to hawaii and have a wonderful time,


But when you return,


You may experience a delayed psychological reaction


That could be very traumatic.


I'll deal with that when I go to paris in the spring.

Really ss him. He was such a great guy.
