Quitter

So she lives next door.
Yeah, friend of the mayor's.

And she smells marijuana smoke.
Every night, except Sunday.
So it's what, like some kind of pot party.

Drive carefully cause, yeah, we need those eggs.
How's that marriage going, romeo? Oooh, it's going great.
You know what, it's a lot like Vietnam.
We both know we can't win.
We both know innocent people may get hurt in the course of action but until some authority figure like the president or a priest tell us to get out, nobody's leaving.
I think I'm gonna have one more drink.
Oh, yeah, that'll help.

It's not what you think, okay.
I had a very long day and uh, I went out.
It's bad I was exhausted and I, I went out and I had a drink with the guys and Jan and uh, you know.
Quite frankly, I think I deserve a little credit, not only for only for making it home safe and sound but for a remembering the milk and the um eggs.

Well, with these things, it's like I'm swinging a sequoia.
You want one.
Yeah, like I need Viagra.
No, no, no, these aren't Viagra.
It's something else.
Something new.
And these, these aren't even on the market yet.
They're suppose to be two to three times more powerful than the purple ones.
I'm test driving 'em for my doctor.
You carrying these around? Mikey, these are like gold.
Wherever I go, they go.
You know how the president has that special suitcase-- the football yeah, well this is my football.
End of the world comes this afternoon, I just pop one of these babies and grab the nearest broad.
Sounds like Armageddon to me.
Could happen.

Guess I'm just tense.

Gotta little something on your lip there.
Hey, uh, I think I might need a couple of those purple pills.
Oh, you had a change of heart, huh? I don't know, I think not having my pill it's it's like affecting my penis or something.
Well, the penis is a very delicate instrument my friend.
One time my wife stopped cooking with butter behind my back, my joint went Al dente on me for about a month.
Really! Yeah, here you go, stud.
Now these take about twenty or thirty minutes to kick in it'll last a couple of hours.

I can't lie.
I can actually barely hold a conversation, come on.
Come on.
Honey, honey.
Why do you feel the need to take a drug before you have sex with me? It's it's not a drug, it's like a vitamin.
How would you feel if before we made love, I took a hit of extacy? You got any.
Come on.
Honey, honey.
Honey, come on, I can't have an argument right now, I'm, I'm losing my verbal skills.
Hun? What am I suppose to do with this? Why don't you take it home to your wife.
I'm sure it's been a long time since she's seen it.
Oh, that's nice.
That's great.
Unbelievable.

[ Music playing in background .]
Hello, stranger.
Hello.
Are you wearing green lipstick? Yes.
No I, I bought a lollipop on the way over.
Sour apple.
What are you fourteen again? In more ways than one baby.
Lollipop? I, uh, I was buying a lollipop I felt a chill coming on me and I thought just to be safe in case, uh, honey, don't, don't blow out the candles, honey.
Please? [Phone ringing.]
Harrigan.
Frank, it's me.
Why are you whispering? Cause I'm a guilty, broken, evil man.
Oh, hey, that new, uh, pill, how long does it last, ballpark figure.
Well, they said possibly up to eight hours.
Oh my god.
But nobody knows for sure, could last longer.
Is there any way I can call it off.
Well, you can always take matters into your own hands.
Did that already, four times.
Four ti--four times? Hey, Mikey, would you do me a favor and write all this down, you know it's my doctor he's researching.
Nope.
Hello? Four times.
[ Music .]
Here she comes, Jan.
Got her.
Excuse me, miss, my name is Jan Fendrich, I'm with the new York city police department.
I'd like to look inside your friend's apartment here.
Yes, but-- who is it.
Everybody freeze.
Get your hands out where we can see it.
Officer, this isn't what you think.
Yeah, right, lady.
These people are here for treatment.
What treatment? I uh, I have cancer.
Let me guess, lung cancer.
Him has brain cancer.
Him have two surgery and in chemo.
What about these two? Them both have leukemia.
And grace, glaucoma.
And James here has, what is it again? A bad back.
A really bad back.
Mmm, there's some dank nuggets here.
Humboldt county? Nice twist.
I don't know, what do you think? I think we should leave them be, they have their own little Hmo going here.
Self-medicating-- hell, I think you know a little bit about that.
I think you guys are absolutely right, I think we should let 'em go.
And the mayor's friend that lives next door what do we tell her? Tell her to move.
I didn't think you'd let them off like that, Michael, nice call.
Yeah, my old man died of cancer.
I think he would preferred sitting around getting high and eating twinkies then wasting away in that little room over at sisters of mercy.
Well, I think we should at least go back up there and haul in the guy with the bad back.
Tommy.
He's just in it for the ganja, mike.
It's called compassion.
Okay.
Ever heard of it? People ain't perfect; they hooked on things, okay.
Maybe, 'cause they're scared, all right, or they're stupid, or their parents beat the crap out of 'em when they were kids but they need something to keep their world at arm's length.
They need somethin' with the, with the sorrow and the-- and the pain of death and the time, tommy, the time.
What the hell are you on? Freak.
[ Music .]
Hey.
Do yourself a favor, turn around, get out of here really fast.
Why? Because the lieutenants' looking for you and he's out for blood.
About what? Friend of the mayor that lives next door.
Yeah.
Called up, complained again, they sent Garrity down there he busted the whole pot house.
Oh, really.
Oh yeah, and just as they're going down, you know, they start giving you up as the guy that let them off.
Bet you it was the old broad.
She probably piped up first, you know she had a look.
Yeah, well, get going.
He's says he's gonna kick your ass.
No, no, no, if that's the case, he's gonna find my ass right where it belongs, right here, front and center.
Bring it on, go tell 'em, tell him I'm here.
I'm ready.
Go ahead.
Where's pip? He's in the other room with some pharmacist lookin' and mug shots.
I'm going to get some coffee, want anything? Uh, yeah that would be great, I would love a cappuccino with some-- Michael? Hey? Captioning performed by the transcription company Burbank, ca Www.
