WOMAN (SINGING): No matter
how you try to please me,

something's wrong.

It's not lasting long.

No matter how you
say you need me,

it's just a line
I'm dangling on.

I look out my window
to the street below.

Love is what, that's all I see.

I don't wanna dress
up and fix my face.

There's nowhere to go.

Just look at this place.

Life is really blessed.

It's all right.

Life is really blessed.

It's all right.

Call me an outcast.

That's all right.

I'm looking forward to
a tiny plastic Kn*fe.

I'm looking forward to
a tiny plastic Kn*fe,

a tiny plastic Kn*fe.

No matter how I try to
hold you, nothing's there.

It's like holding air.

No matter how many times I
told you, who's listening?

Who really cares?

I look in your window
and watch you undress.

Lovers' talk, that's all I heed.

I don't wanna call
you and waste my time.

I've got things to
do here in my mind.

Life is really blessed.

It's all right.

Life is really blessed.

It's all right.

Call me an outcast.

That's all right.

I'm looking forward to
a tiny plastic Kn*fe.

I'm looking forward to
a tiny plastic Kn*fe,

a tiny plastic Kn*fe.

No matter how I try to
hold you, nothing's there.

It's like holding air.

No matter how many times I
told you, who's listening?

Who really cares?

I look in your window
and watch you undress.

Lovers' talk, That's all I heed.

I don't wanna call
you and waste my time.

I've got things to do here--

Call an ambulance.

Get the police.

No!

No, don't.

I'm OK.

I'm fine.

Just leave me alone.

Look.

I really think you should--

Look.

I said that I'm OK.

Please?

WOMAN (SINGING):
I'm looking forward

to a tiny plastic Kn*fe.

I'm looking forward to
a tiny plastic Kn*fe,

a tiny plastic Kn*fe.

Don't send me chocolate.

[THEME - HOLLY ROBINSON,
" JUMP STREET THEME"]

THEME SONG: We
never thought we'd

find a place where we belong.

Don't have to stand alone.

We'll never let you fall.

You don't need permission
to decide what you believe.

Woo.

I said jump down on Jump Street.

I said jump down on Jump Street.

Your friends will be there
when your back is to the wall.

You'll find you need us because
there's no one else to call.

When it looks hopeless, a
decision's what you need.

You better be ready
to-- be ready to jump.

Jump Street.

Might as well pay me now, Sal.

This one is the winner.

Hope you're right, buddy.

Who do you like--

New England or Miami?

Nobody deserves
to win that game.

Miami.

Uh, Judy?

Fill me in, Sal.

-- no, no, no.

Larceny in progress.

, robbery in progress.

I thought a
was a pedestrian

struck in a crosswalk.

, and you don't
have to be in a crosswalk.

(SIGHING) I'm never
gonna get my gold shield.

That's because
you're cramming, man.

You'll turn your
brain to guacamole.

You gotta learn the
material, let it seep in.

Seep?

Seep.

Well, what are
you gonna do, Doug?

Sleep with the books
under your pillow?

I'm gonna wing it.

Let the chips fall
where they may.

Yeah.

Well, not everybody has a
capacity for useless codes

and numbers like you, Doug.

I've always
considered it a gift.

Are you gonna take
the detective's exam?

Oh, yeah.

I got a letter of recommendation
from my cellblock captain.

Sal, I don't even know
why I enter this thing.

I haven't won yet.

- Hey, you're due, buddy.
- Yeah.

Well.

Hey, how are you guys
doing at Rosalita's?

Ah, we're doing real good.

I got hired yesterday.

Hanson got in tight
with the last kid

who just got knocked around.

Hey, that's good.

Excuse me, captain.

You got two sets of picks here.

Yeah.

Well, what's the story?

Well, see, Sal, this
first one is based on logic,

you know, handicapping,
everything I

know about the teams involved.

What's the other one about?

Oh, I just went the opposite
direction with every game.

H.T. Ioki reporting
for duty, sir.

Hey.

Harry.

Harry.

Does this guy know how to
make an entrance or what?

Nice walking stick.

Hey, hey, my turn, my turn.

How you doing?

You're looking great, Doug.

Harry, you're
looking good yourself.

How you feeling?

Not bad.

It still hurts a little
bit when I breathe deep.

Yeah.

Well, it's good to
have you back here.

Yeah.

Nice to be back.

Um, I'm really looking
forward to getting

back out there again.

You look great.

[music playing]

Have a good time.

Go on.

Is this a real ID?

Yes, it's a real ID.

When's your birthdate?

April --

Don't think about it.

April , .

What's your sign?

Why?

Do you wanna buy me a drink?

Keep the line moving, huh?

Have a nice time, cutie.
You're like .

Get in there.

[music playing]

THE B- S (SINGING):
Love getaway.

Headed for the love getaway.

Hey.

Hey, neighbor.

What's up?

Lori Sigmund, this is
Tom-- somebody or other.

He's on the third
floor of the hall.

Lori runs this place.

Assistant manager.

Welcome to Rosalita's.

Well, thank you.

Could I buy you guys a beer?

Yeah, anytime.

Hey, Larry.

Three drafts over here, please?
- You got it.

Thanks.

They're Army issue.

They got steel soles.

They run about $ bucks.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

You should get a pair.

You gotta do heavy
stomping, them sneakers

ain't gonna do you much good.

I see what you mean.

But if you are gonna
do heavy stomping,

shouldn't you have
heavy a*tillery?

Forget it, man.

You get into too much trouble.

You don't wanna be carrying a
Kn*fe, or anything like that.

I recommend a Mr. DuraReady.

All inches.

Thing carries four size
D alkaline batteries.

You swing on somebody with
this, he ain't getting up.

And perfectly legal, too.

Best of all, people don't
even notice you got it.

Mr. DuraReady?

Cover the door for a sec.

I wanna see who won the game.

[chatter]

THE B- S (SINGING): The love
shack is a little old place--

It was in the bag.

Can you believe the
way they fell apart?

You like these guys?

Oh, they're OK.

They just never
close at the end.

They don't have that
k*ller instinct.

(CHUCKLING) Is
she great or what?

You got a minute?

I'm entertaining friends.

I got a present for you.

Oh.

In that case.

So what's your major?

Huh?

Oh.

Uh, I'm undeclared.

You?

Grad school, business.

Hey.

Could you excuse
me for a second?

My kidneys are gonna explode.

Down the stairs
and to the right.

THE B- S (SINGING): Everybody's
moving around and around

and around and around.

Everybody's moving.

Everybody's grooving, baby.

Folks lining up outside
just to get down.

Everybody's moving.

Everybody's grooving, baby.

Funky little shack,
funky little shack.

Hop in my Chrysler.

It's as big as a whale,
and it's about to set sail.

Woo.

I got me a car.

It seats about .

So come on and bring
your jukebox money.

The love shack is a little--

Let me get this straight.

They were friendly
with each other?

Bosom buddies.

Maybe Darryl's the wrong guy.

Maybe he's a dealer.

You know, I heard Lenny tell
him to meet him at the dorm

at, like, : in the morning.

That's kind of weird.

Maybe it is dr*gs.

Well then, why would
he be b*ating him up?

Maybe he owes him money.

Maybe it's about a girl.

I don't know.

What's up with the door?

Not too much.

You know, we just
check IDs, take

a guy's keys away,
bounce a couple

dudes-- nothing too rough.

You know, Doug--

Hm?

I'm thinking about quitting.

Quitting what?

Oh, you mean like
turning in your badge?

Oh, come on, man,
you just got it back.

(SIGHING) What are
you talking about?

You can't quit being a cop.

It's in your blood, man.

Your father was a cop.

Are you my biographer?

No.

I'm just saying, I mean, it's
the natural thing for you

to do.

I mean, what the hell
are you gonna do anyway?

Well, I'm gonna
check my options.

Oh, like there's a
really long list, is there?

I'm sorry I said that.

Will you just--
will you just not

do anything crazy without
checking with me first?

OK?

Say OK.

OK.

[sigh]

I'm a little hungry.

Can I eat?

That'll be $ . .

- I got it.
- No, no.

I got it.
- I-- I'm buying.

Look.

Compliments of Bernie Kosar
and the Cleveland Browns.

You bet the game?

Yeah.

I got bucks off of Lenny.

The bouncer?

We prefer door security.

Keep it, babe.

[music playing]

[crickets]

[sighing]

[car rumbling]

[door closing]

Hey.

Hey, Lori.
How you doing?

- Good.
- I'll be down in a minute.

OK, we'll see you in there.

[knocking]

That is beautiful, man.

Let's do it.

These are great.

Your initials on
them, and everything.

Nothing but the best.

Hey, Tommy, man, come on in.

You play poker?

Yeah, sure.

All right, g*ng.

We got a seventh.

Oh, it's bucks to get in.

How can you pass
this thing up, Harry?

It means a pay
increase, a change

in rank, more responsibility.

Look.

I just don't feel up to it, OK?

But the detective's exam only
comes up once every two years.

I know the schedule.

So you're just gonna
wait two more years just

because you don't
feel like you can

let yourself get psyched up?

Hey.

I mean, what is it with
this exam and you, huh?

I mean, why is it so
important that I take it?

Sorry.

What's that?

You're starting
to give me a pain.

Look, Harry, it's just that
I don't wanna see you let

an opportunity like this go by.

That's all.

I appreciate that.

Then you'll take the test?

No.

You took the damn
thing two years ago.

Things were different.

I think we're on
a gambling case.

Tell me about it.

Lenny and Darryl were
in a high stakes poker

game at the dorm last night.

That's what the
meeting was about.

Did you stay and play?

Couldn't afford the buy-in.

All right.

I'll get you some money.

Hey.

You think those
kids getting b*at up

had something to do
with gambling debts?

Could be.
Look.

See if you can find
out who's behind Lenny.

I doubt a bouncer's in
charge of this thing.

[sighing]

Douglas-- can I
get you anything?

A cold soda would be nice.

[chatter]

OK, come on.

I got you.

Two?

Two?

Or four?

[chatter]

One minute.

One minute to post.

Three?
You got it.

?

[bugling]

on them,
on blue, got you.

OK.

Give me bucks
on the favorite.

- on Echo Poise.
- Echo Poise?

Why not?

He tested positive for
steroids two weeks ago.

And he's just coming
off suspension.

I like the name.

OK, got you.
Hold on.

Hold on.
Calm down.

We'll get you all.

ANNOUNCER: Please close all
wagering for the next race.

Look.

Bet the favorites.

You'll get a good price.

[cheering]

ANNOUNCER: They're in the gate.

Just go with me on this.
Bet .

on the favorite.

Gimme on the favorite.

[bell ringing]

ANNOUNCER: And they're off!

[cheering]

ANNOUNCER: There goes
Perry, off to the half,

followed by Kettle Mill.

Echo Poise is on the outside,
followed by Lucky Lady.

[cheering]

ANNOUNCER: Again,
it's Charlie Hustle.

Charlie Hustle charges
toward the finish line,

with Pinocchio and Echo
Poise losing ground.

And at the wire,
it's Charlie Hustle

by four lengths, followed
by Pinocchio by a nose.

[crowd booing]

Thanks, man.

Woo.

Nice roll.

Oh, this?

Oh, well, hey, do you know where
I can get some real action?

You bet football?

You know where
I can get a bet?

How much you wanna bet?

Oh, you know, $ or $ .

I can take care of that.
Who do you like?

UCLA.

Forget UCLA.

Take Arizona State.

Are you betting Arizona State?

Actually, I'm a little
tapped out right now.

Look.
I'll tell you what.

Why don't you bet
bucks on Arizona State?

If you win, cut me
in for a small taste.

How much of it?

Oh, whatever you think's fair.

And what if I lose?

Hey, you were
gonna lose on UCLA.

Look.

Just go with me on this.

I know what I'm doing.

ANNOUNCER (ON TV): It was
Notre Dame , Purdue .

Nebraska defeated UCLA, - .

And in a game just
completed, Arizona State

, University of Houston .

We'll be back with more scores
and highlights after this.

ANNOUNCER (ON TV):
Arm on the outside.

Sir looking strong if
he can get through.

They come for home.

Sulich on the outside,
Mr. Happy at the rail.

Here comes Val Dancer,
now flying on the outside.

%?

Whatever you think's fair.

Thanks.

Hey.

Do you book through Lenny?

Yeah.

Look, um, what are you doing
for the rest of the afternoon?

[bells ringing]

[rumbling]

[cheering]

[music playing]

I know how we can double this.

- The next race.
- No, no.

Forget the races.

Horses are for suckers.

It's for the last, right?

Right.

Because if we let
this, plus the money

from this afternoon's
game, ride,

then we're playing
with their money now.

Now, there's an o'clock
game tonight on TBS--

LSU versus Mississippi
State at home.

Yes, that's a lot
of points to lay.

But I'm certain they'll
roll over these guys.

Just go with me on this.

Look, you won't regret it.

I'm talking a
deadbolt lock here.

It's really kind of amazing.

The kid took my bucks
and turned it into two grand.

I know.

I bet LSU, too.

I'm up .

- You bet LSU?
- Yeah, sure.

I figure, what the hell?

Why not?

Well, for one thing, you
don't know anything about LSU.

Sure I do.

Yeah?

Tell me one thing about LSU.

It's in Louisiana.

Where in Louisiana?

Who's their quarterback?

What kind of
offense do they run?

I don't know.
Who cares?

That's not the point.
There's action.

I'm hot.

You're not hot.

You only bet LSU because
you saw Darryl do it.

Listen.

I'm telling you you're
wrong about this.

Yes, I was there
when he made the bet.

But I knew he was right.

And I knew LSU was gonna win.

I had this feeling.

I'm on a streak.

I've been right about
everything so far.

I'll tell you something else.

I am gonna drill that
detective's exam tomorrow.

I know that, too.

Besides, this was
a pretty good way

to find out who the bookie is.

Did you drill it?

Nothing but net, man.

Who won the Jets game?

- Jets lost.
- By how many?

points.

Yeah.

I can't believe they have
these things on Sunday.

I gotta make a call
before my interview.

I'll see you at Rosalita's, OK?
- Wait--

If you were to make
detective, do you wanna remain

in the Jump Street program?

Well, I realize that with a
promotion comes the possibility

of reassignment.

And I would be proud
to serve the department

wherever I'm needed.

I see you received
the Medal of Valor

for conspicuous bravery.

It sort of came
with the b*llet.

How long have you
been back on duty?

Just a few days, sir.

What does making detective
mean to you, officer?

Pay increase, change in
rank, more responsibility.

Are we almost done?

You spent some time with the
public relations department.

Oh, yes, sir.

I was Officer Milk Carton in
the school safety program.

And you're a college graduate?

Oh, you have to be to
be Officer Milk Carton.

[laughter]

[knocking]

Ah.
Good.

You're here.

Got my money?

Um, I got a little
bit of bad news.

What?
We won.

LSU won, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, it was a lock,
just like I said.

We blew them out of the stadium.

And you had
trouble collecting?

No.

No, not at all.

See, the trouble
was with the Giants.

- The Giants?
- Yeah.

Well, see, I had this really
good line on the Giants

this morning.

And you weren't around.

And I had this
really good feeling.

And I knew you'd want to go
along with me on the play.

And?

And it was a fluke, man.

I mean, Sims gets sacked, coughs
the thing up with two minutes

to go, so Phoenix scores
a meaningless touchdown.

What are you trying
to tell me, Darryl?

We lost.

We lost?

Yeah.

Well, we're partners.

I-- I let it all
ride on the Giants.

How much?

A lot.

How much?

Four grand.

You bet $ , of my
money without telling me?

Yeah.

Well, we're partners.

Look, I lost $ , .

We gotta talk, partner.

[chatter]

(SIGHING) You know, I don't
know what you're getting

so bent out of shape for.

It's just making a few extra
bucks on a football game.

It's not legal.

It's legal to
bet in Las Vegas.

It's legal to go to the
track and bet the horses.

The state runs a lottery.

That's different, because the
money then goes to education.

The money?

The money is a tax on the poor.

It's a numbers racket.

The odds of winning are,
like, worse than getting

hit by a bolt of lightning.

In Oregon-- in Oregon, they
have a lottery based on the NFL.

What about that?

Well, then you're
rooting for the spread.

You're not even
interested in the teams.

So is everybody else, man.

Wake up.

Football's the most popular
game in the country.

Why?

Because they play only once a
week, and you can bet on it.

If it wasn't for
the point spread,

it wouldn't be half as popular.

The point spread
keeps the teams even.

It keeps the betters interested.

It keeps them from
switching the channels.

Because nobody knows who's going
to win till the last second.

But you think you do.

I happen to be very hot.

I have a feel for how
the teams are playing

right now, especially the pros.

Well, what about you?

You're playing
Sal's parlot cards.

For a dollar.

A dollar, $ bucks, $
bucks, what's the difference?

The difference is
that Sal's not gonna

break my kneecaps if I lose.

I got it.

I got it, Harry.

I got it.

All right.

Way to go.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Aren't you gonna open yours?

No.

I-- I already know what it says.

Oh, come on, Harry.

Open it up.

Hey.

Congratulations.

Oh, thanks.

I didn't make it.

Hey, me either.

What'd you get on the written?

Oh, I, uh--

I did pretty well.

I got an .

, and that's really high.

Go ahead.

This is better.

You're gonna like this one.
You're gonna like this one.

It better be better.

So anyway, this guy loses
$ , bucks on basketball.

Yeah.

Then summer comes along,
he loses $ , on baseball.

Now comes football season.

He drops grand.

So he goes to his
bookie and he says,

you know, this is terrible.

I lost $ , this year.

So the bookie says, why
don't you try hockey?

And the guy says,
what are you, nuts?

What do I know about hockey?

That's a good one.

I gotta remember that.

What's the matter?

You seem down.

(SIGHING) I failed a test
that I should've nailed.

I used to fail
them all the time.

You ought to get a tutor.

A tutor wouldn't have
helped me with this one.

Hey, this'll cheer you up.

I'm gonna kick some ass tonight.

Oh, yeah?

On who?

Some puke that owes money.

Owes money to who?

All you need to know is we
get % of what we collect.

Well, it's just,
you know, I like

to know who I'm
working for before I

do something like that.
- What are you?

A cop or something?

Yeah.

I work undercover.

By day I like to fail
tests, and at night

I check IDs at a beer joint.
- Forget it.

I'll do it myself.

No, no.
I'm here.

OK.
Who's the puke?

Wait.

Don't hit me.
- You got the money?

No.
No.

But I will.

I swear.

Just give me a couple hours.

, , , .

Wait.
That's it?

Look.

That's only $ .

This card, it's got a
$ , line of credit.

Yes, but the cash
advance limit is .

So anyway, I'm a
little strapped for cash.

And this would
really help me out.

All right, so let
me get this straight.

I give you bucks.

And you're gonna give
me $ worth of gas?

- On my credit card.
- Sure.

Why not?
- Great, great.

Keep pumping, man.

Keep pumping.

Jackpot!

, for the semester?

Mm-hm.

I thought we were
getting an increase?

Grad students only.

My student loan check
hasn't come through yet.

There seems to be a
problem with the paperwork.

My parents are out of town.

I know my tuition is due.

I can give you an
extension for a week.

But if the money isn't here
by next Friday at : ,

your registration
will be pulled.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Are you kidding?

You cashed out
your tuition check?

Yeah.
Look.

There's almost $ , here.

I thought we owed more.

We do.

We're still almost ,
short, with the vig and all.

It's so much.

Hey.

It's only money.

It's your tuition, man.

I think of it as
borrowing for a week.

All right.

Maybe we can make
a partial payment.

I'll go talk to him.

No, no.

I don't think we should
pay him back at all.

What are you, crazy?

You want to get your
head b*at in again?

Look, I think we should
take the four grand

and bet it on
Monday night's game.

See, that way, we get even.

I get my tuition money,
you get your two grand.

What do you think?

That's $ , .

Yeah.

Isn't that great?

We'd be betting $ , .

You lose, this guy's
really gonna hurt you.

Hey, man.

You gotta be on the edge.

That's the rush.

Don't you get it?

I think you have a problem.

Yeah.

I need two grand by next week.

No, no.

I mean with the gambling.

Oh, right.

Here it comes.

I'm a compulsive gambler.

I can't help myself.
- Well--

I'm in college.
What am I gonna lose?

My house?
My car?

My wife?
- Look.

I'm on my own.

I'm putting myself
through school.

I don't have a problem.

See, man, I pulled
this off today.

And I can double
this money tonight

because I know who's gonna win.

Darryl, do you realize you
don't do anything but gamble?

OK.
I ski.

I play tennis.

I collect rare stamps.

Can I make my bet now?

I think you're
out of your mind.

You cash in your tuition
money, and you want to let it

ride on Monday Night Football?

Hey, Lenny.

I was just coming to see you.

- You got the money?
- Uh, yeah.

Yeah, listen.

Actually, we want to bet it.

Hey.

Who's talking to you?

You want to bet four grand?

Yes.

We have , we can show
you, but we want to bet

it along with another , .

All right.

Who do you like?

We wanna bet with the book.

All bets go through me.

All right.

But just be sure to
tell your boss that you

passed on booking a $ , bet.

What do you think?

You know, I'm kind of new
at this, but four grand?

That's a lot of money.

I think that he would,
uh, want to take that bet.

Especially with a couple
of losers like these two.

Darryl, for the th
time, I'm making this bet.

You just stay out.

Well, I don't know.

I know.

OK.
Good.

Maybe-- maybe it'll
change our luck.

Why don't you just go back
to the dorm and wait for me?

Don't forget.

Don't lay more than
and / points.

I got it, man.

Cincinnati minus and / .

OK.

Come on.

This is a lock.

It's a lock.

OK?

I understand you want
to make a large bet

on Monday Night Football.

So what is it you
find so unusual?

That she's a woman,
or that Darryl didn't

know who he was betting with?

Both.

Oh, there are a lot of
women gamblers, Hanson.

What makes you
think she's a gambler?

They're all gamblers.

It's just that the smarter
ones become the books.

You know, chances are she bets
a lot of what she collects.

How come you know so
much about this stuff?

Oh, I've made a
few bets in my day.

You know, I know this guy who
waits until the last minute

every Monday night.

And then he bets on
the team that lines up

on the left-hand side of
his screen for kickoff.

How'd you do?

Won % of the
games last year.

- That's some system.
- Yeah?

Well, there are no systems, Tom.

You play long enough,
you're gonna lose.

The odds are always
in favor of the house.

Not last night.

Bengals, huh?

What do you want me to do?

Well, bookmaking's
a minor offense.

She'll get a small
fine, if that.

In order to get
an as*ault charge,

you're gonna have to lose.

Big.

[chatter]

OK.

See you later.

Excuse me, detective.

Why don't you
just say it, Doug?

Say what?

You think I made detective
because I'm a woman.

A black woman.
- Double minority.

Oh, that's just perfect.

What else could
it possibly be?

I have a college education.

Well, that's just great.

I have twice as
many busts as you.

So while you're in
college, I'm on the street.

Well, at least college taught
me you gotta put in the work.

I got on the written.

Maybe it was the interview.

I nailed the interview.

I had those guys
eating out of my hand.

What are you
complaining about?

You didn't even study.

I didn't have to.

I knew the codes
backwards and forwards.

So you winged it?

I winged it.

(SIGHING) You're so arrogant.

You're so proud of it.

What are you trying to say?

That you did better
on the written?

What did you get?

I got a .

?

.

You didn't make
detective, and it

was your own fault.
Not my fault,

and not the department's fault.

[music playing]

Ah, back for more?

I want you to cut Darryl off.

Is that what Darryl wants?

- He needs help.
- No kidding.

He came in here today and
made a bet on the Dodgers.

He's betting on baseball.

And you took it?
- Yeah.

It's what I do.

I'm a bookmaker, not
a guidance counselor.

Well, I thought
you were his friend?

Hey, look, no one
forces Darryl to bet.

No one puts a g*n to his
head and says, pick a team.

Why do you do this?

Let's just say I'm working
my way through school.

Hey, I saw a demand,
and I filled it.

If they don't bet with me,
they'll bet with someone else.

They're losers.

They wanna lose.

Yeah, you oughta know.

Look, you wanna
make a bet, Dr. Freud?

Yes, I wanna make a bet.

, on Tampa Bay.

(CHUCKLING) Tampa Bay.

I rest my case.

Do we have a bet?

Now you tell me
who has the problem.

Yeah.

Yeah, probably Thanksgiving.
Sure.

Yeah, that'd be great.

How's Pop?

(LAUGHING) Really?

That's great.

Diane?

Good.

Good.

Listen, Mom-- I was
wondering if you

could send me some more money?

Yeah, I know.

No, see, I had to use
that for schoolbooks.

Yeah, well, you know, I'm taking
a lot of classes this semester.

You know, the usual.

Yeah, English and some
history, sociology, journalism.

Yeah.

Right, I'm taking
that journalism

class we talked about.

Yeah, maybe I'll be a reporter.

Yeah, sports reporter.

Listen, Mom.

About the money--

I'd say about $ , .

Well, I thought
maybe you could cash

in some of those savings bonds.

Yeah, I know.

No, Mom, please calm down.

No.

No, I'm not in any trouble.

Yeah.

I know Dad works hard.

But you remember you
always said you were

saving those bonds for college?

Well, you know, here
I am in college.

Would you just
think about it, OK?

No.

Mom, please, don't--
don't say no.

Mom, please don't--

Mom?

[door creaking]

What's going on, Tommy?

The Dodgers lost.

I know.

That was the tuition money.

Yeah.

What's he doing here?

[laughter] Um-- what,
am I gonna get arrested?

I think you have a problem.

Maybe we should talk, partner.

[music playing]

WOMAN (SINGING): Because some
people always get around.

OK.

So what Einstein
was trying to say

is that there's no
preferred reference frames.

In other words,
if I was standing

on top of a train
that was moving

the speed of light, and I--

Excuse me.

Could I have a word
with him, please?

I believe you owe me some money?

I believe I've
decided not to pay.

What, are you
out of your mind?

Listen, man,
gambling's illegal.

Call a cop.

Oh, yeah.

Excuse us.

Coming through.

What are you gonna do?

b*at the money out of
me with a flashlight?

Mr. DuraReady.

You're the big man
with the big bets.

Why don't you just pay off?

Well, if you think I'm gonna
give two grand to some chick,

you're out of your mind.

He ain't got no fear of women.

Who does?

Why don't you get Lori
out here to kick my ass?

Because I do it for her.

Sound good to you?

Sounds good to me.

You're under arrest.

Don't even think about it,
Lenny, because I have a g*n.

You believe this crap?

Actually, I do.

Because, well, I'm a cop, too.

You got a g*n?

No.

[grunting]

You weren't even gonna help me!

You were doing fine.

Come on!

[grunting]

[panting]

I knew I should've bet more.

Cuffs?

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Well, you rest.

I'll get it.

Thanks.

[chatter]

[clearing throat]

You're under arrest.

For what?

- as*ault.
- That's it?

Is that all we got?

No, we got more.

Oh, yeah.

Well, we got
conspiracy, conspiracy

to commit bookmaking.

We got bookmaking.

What else?

Extortion.

Personal favorite, extortion.

And robbery?

Robbery.

Robbery.

That it?

That's it.

(SIGHING) You guys
are wasting your time.

You think I'm all alone in this?

What are you
trying to tell us?

Let's just say there's
people behind me,

and people behind them.

And if you went up
high enough, you might

be surprised who's up there.

Why don't you
give us some names?

We'll jot them down.

You guys are amazing.

Look, there'll be
somebody here tomorrow

picking up where I left off.

And you wanna know why?

No.

People love to bet.

You're starting
to sound like him.

Cuffs?

Yes, and a gag.

You like doing this?

Let's just say I'm working
my way through school.

Shall we?

[cheering]

Here you go, buddy.

Football pool, week four.

You're not gonna play?

Why aren't you gonna play?

What are you, nuts?

What do I know about hockey?

Hock-- oh.

Good night, Sal.

Hey.

You got a minute?

Sure.

- I wanted to apologize.
- That's OK, Doug.

It's not OK.

(SIGHING) I acted like a real--

I acted bad.

You know, I-- I shouldn't
have been assuming.

Well, you were frustrated.

I mean, I can understand that.

Nah.

It's more than that.

I was so sure--

so sure that there was
no way I was gonna lose.

Not studying for that
test, it was something

I shouldn't have gambled on.

Well, at least you understand.

Hey.

I'm starting to.

Well, good night, Doug.

Good night, detective.
