See, now, this has to beat the best hotel room in Atlantic City.
She laid down the law.
No bachelor party.

Let's go, it's against the rule.
Everybody knows Linda? Bobby, Alex, Brooke.

Kids were throwing rocks.
Spooked the poor thing.

Remember King Kong on the Empire State? Big hairy gorilla swatting at airplanes.
No, no.
The blow up one.
You know, 50th anniversary of the movie? I snuck under the red velvet rope.
And I got right up there on the catwalk.

- A hundred and two.
Oh.
And you were how old, Fay wray? Seventh grade.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]

We were gonna be retiring in the spring.
This poor thing is in a lot of pain.

Shh, shh.
While everybody's still standing, I'd like to say a few words here.
Can the two lovebirds come front and center? Come on up.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]

Now, I admit, compared to the bachelor party I had going this isn't a bad time.
[GUESTS CHUCKLE.]
To my best friend and his beautiful girl Who puts up with him.
Be well.
Be happy.
We all love you.
Cheers.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Speech.

God knows I'm not perfect.
But I try hard.
And somehow I managed to get this amazing woman to agree to marry me.
[GUESTS MURMURING.]
She makes me laugh.
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I love you.
BOBBY: whoo! - I love you too.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
FAITH: Feels like every day is a double, doesn't it? It's that time of year.
Nights are longer, that's why.
Till February? Get half the daytime and we freeze our butts off.
- It's all about the gear.
- Vernal equinox is end of March.
Oh, great.
- Sad.
- Very sad.
No, that's what they call it.
Seasonal Affective Disorder.
And then it's like you're coming out of this deep, deep sleep.
I get very grumpy.
More than usual? You want to go down to Chelsea and get some coffee? - I know this place on 1 8th Street.
- Oh, we should get a cab.
What's the matter? Champagne make you dizzy? No.
Well, maybe a little.
Did I say something to piss you off? - What? - What's going on? Something's up.
[SCOFFS, MUMBLES.]
I'm not exactly sure what to do about seeing this thing that I shouldn't have seen.
Fine.
Don't tell me if you don't want to.
It's just that it could do a lot of harm to a couple of people and-- [ELEVATOR CLANKING.]
Damn it.
Oh, man.
Okay.
But you can't tell anyone.
No problem.
I walked in on Doherty With Lombardo's date.
- What? - Yeah.
- Wait, Jimmy, are you sure? - Yeah, cute butt.
Pants around his ankles, her legs wrapped around his waist.
Why did I have to open the damn door? You're not gonna say anything, are you? No.
It's not like We're friends or anything.
[ELEVATOR WHIRRING.]
Wow.
[BOBBY CHUCKLES.]
- Bobby.
- What? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[LAUGHS.]
- What? - The Post.
I don't have it.
- How am I supposed to check the scores? - Woman I buy it from wasn't there.
- I'm sorry if that's inconvenient.
- What, no one else had papers? Davis, you can't buy your paper at the same place every day for 15 years - and then just go get one someplace else.
- Why not? MAN: He's halfway down the freaking block.
And swears up and down he already paid me.
Where's the bag? Where's the receipt? - I've been coming here 30 years.
- Ah.
He had the hammer in his hand.
That's because I came in to buy a hammer, for crying out loud.
Give me the key.
I know this guy.
Stan, right? It's been a long time.
For crying out loud, Sully.
This is definitely a mistake.
Oh, the guy is crazy.
- How about we save everybody a lot of-- - I run a business here.
I have zero tolerance for people trying to rip me off.
You gonna arrest him or do I make another call? Make another call.
Because I am not going to arrest this man for a $5 hammer.
Merry Christmas.
Keep that.
That's nice.
Hey, what do you think of this whole Jimmy-Brooke wedding thing? Brooke seems like a nice girl, don't you think? - What? - Nice.
Honest, you know.
- Bobby.
- What? - Something happened, didn't it? - No.
I can't.
- Oh, yeah, you can.
- No, forget it.
Oh, is it Jimmy? Dumb question.
Of course it's Jimmy.
- No, forget I said anything.
- Yeah, but you did.
So spill it.
Bobby.
Come on.
That's not fair.
Come on, what is it? He was screwing around at the party.
Oh, my God, I cannot believe he hit on Alex.
- What? - Look, I'm sorry.
Hey, whoa, whoa, not Alex.
- Who? - Lombardo's girlfriend.
Linda? At the par--? How could he do that? Totally naked on the counter.
What do you mean how? Alex caught them.
KIM: Oh, my God.
[SIREN WAILS.]
SULLY: Look familiar, Davis? TY: This is that house with all the lights.
SULLY: Rudolph was your personal favorite.
I used to drag you and your dad over here.
- We'd stand right over here singing carols.
- You and my dad caroling, huh? [CHUCKLES.]
Dad, what the hell's going on? What happened? Who called you? You went around the corner.
You've been gone two hours.
Waste of time.
A load of crap.
Like I needed to steal a freaking hammer.
It was a misunderstanding.
- What happened? - No big deal.
- Went to the hardware store.
- Leave your mother and me alone.
- Go back to work, will you? - I can't do this anymore, Pop.
Hey, then you could go because I don't need you here.
No, you don't need me until the next disaster and I have to come and pick up all the pieces.
I'll be back tomorrow morning.
I'll take you on the Yarden tour.
Tours will wait.
- Here we go.
- I gotta set up for Christmas.
And I'm not discussing it.
Pop Where's the car? It's gotta be at the hardware store.
Right, Stan? He's not supposed to be driving.
I'm staying right here for Christmas in my own home With your beautiful mother.
BRANDOLINI: Eleven o'clock tomorrow.
Just to go on a tour.
Just to see what it's like, okay? [SHOUTS.]
Okay? [SIGHS.]
Tough old guy, huh? SULLY: You looking at nursing homes? I'm checking them in.
Enough already.
I knew your dad before he retired.
Used to keep that picture of you from Marines on the wall of his shop.
Bragged about you all the time.
Well, look, thanks for bringing him home, Officer Sullivan.
I appreciate it.
If you'll excuse me.
You know, my mom's in one of those places.
We didn't check her in until the day she didn't know who she was anymore.
Look, I tried moving back to my old room.
You know what he told people? That he was embarrassed to have a son Who couldn't take care of himself.
Give him a couple weeks the holidays.
Told me to be a man make my own way in the world.
Crazy people.
They point a gun at my head, robbing me While I'm dropping them to LaGuardia.
JIMMY: Just a woman back there.
BOSCO: Watch the gun, all right? DRIVER: He's there.
He's crawling away.
- Bosco! BOSCO: what? JIMMY: The driver slammed the brakes.
The gun went off.
She's dead.
Yup.
She gets the Darwin Award.
Try robbing a cab While you're riding in it.
JIMMY: You missed a good time last night, Doc.
Yeah, they called me in for work.
You stand me up next week, it's 50 bucks a plate.
- Checked her out.
She's DOA.
- I will be there.
- All right.
- Did you miss me last night? Just kidding.
It's a joke.
ALEX: Hey, Doc.
I picked up a paramedic shift.
I'm riding with you tomorrow.
Oh, good.
It'll be a nice change from the same old, same old.
Next time you should ride with me.
I didn't say anything.
Just whatever.
You say something to Kim about last night? No.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Hey, can I have a large chicken soup to go, please? - Stan.
- Ha-ha.
- How are you? - Hi, Sully.
They made a great Thai restaurant, out of my old shop.
Yeah, there's a lot of fancy places around here now.
Yeah, most of the old neighborhood's gone now.
Yup.
You know, I worked there 47 years.
- Did you own the place? - Yeah.
And my father before me.
Do you know there's not a shoe repair shop in the neighborhood? You gotta go to Sixth.
All I know is that these are killing me.
They new? I finally wore out my last pair of Double E's.
Remember when you could buy a pair of shoes for the width? The inside seam is all wrong.
It should be fully lined and covered.
All I know is that they hurt my feet.
What do I owe you? [SHOE THUDS.]
New soles you have to pay for.
Spit-and-shine's on the house.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Say, you about ready to go? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm ready to go.
You can't skimp on your feet.
No.
You can't.
Plenty of dough.
I could have bought a hundred hammers.
Oh, I know.
Keep it.
Hey, thanks, Stan.
Well.
Can I give you a lift? Yeah.
I can walk home from your place.
These shoes are never gonna break in With me sitting around on my big ass.
Sound's good.
How would you like to go? You want to go across and then up? Yeah, that's fine.
Hey, we'll go your way.
Okay, Stan.
You know, it's very dangerous to go into a pet store.
MAN: Oh, it is? ROSIE: This weekend I went into a pet store.
MAN: Did you? How did it go? ROSIE: Yeah.
MAN: Were you okay? You got out okay? ROSIE: It's hard.
MAN: I know.
ROSIE: You go into a pet store and they're so cute.
And they always let you hold-- [KEYS JINGLE.]
Oh-- - Sorry about that.
- No, it's-- Go ahead.
Good work, in-out.
Yeah.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
SULLY: Morning.
Thanks.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE.]
It's not a generalization.
In my experience men are selfish and untrustworthy.
Maybe that says more about your experience than it does men.
No.
No.
You all need to bear responsibility.
It's in you whether you can keep it at bay or not.
"lt?" Where's all this coming from? Nothing.
I promised not to say anything.
Well, good.
Because I really don't wanna know.
- You don't wanna know? - No.
No, I don't.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE.]
- Jimmy's screwing around.
- I said I didn't want to know.
It was at the party with Lombardo's girlfriend.
He is such a jerk.
What are you talking about? Me? No, we were just getting ready for work.
- You were, weren't you? - No, we weren't.
You know, if you've got a problem With me, tell me to my face, okay? It wasn't about you.
- You were telling her about the 40 bucks? - No.
I said I'd pay you at the end of the month.
How about a little professional courtesy around here? Hey, we weren't talking about you.
At least you could be honest.
DOC: Oh, for God's sake.
Kim was telling me about Doherty at the party.
Okay? I mean, apparently, he was having a pre-wedding sexual encounter With somebody other than his fiancee.
Thanks, Doc.
It was supposed to be a secret.
- Then why did you tell me? - Just popped out.
- That man's a machine.
- Yeah, you see? - Wait.
what does that have to do with me? - Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
What's up? Alex, you ready? - Yeah.
I'll be right down.

It gets dark so early now.

Time it gets dark, shift's almost over.
Jets need to get on their game if they're gonna make the playoffs.
You know, I just paid 75 cents for a pack of gum.
Lucky used to slip it right under my morning paper every day.
- Lucky? - That's her name.
Seventy-five cents.
Four days she's gone.
Some people are like wallpaper.
You don't notice them till they're gone.
[MUTTERS.]
Maybe Lucky got lucky Won the Pick Five or something.
People do surprising things.
Maybe she woke up one morning, decided to change her life Went to the Grand Canyon.
- Grand Canyon.
- I don't know.
I don't even know her last name.
We could get a call for a stinker Walk into the apartment, I wouldn't recognize her.
Remember hearing about that well-being check a month ago? It was up in the Bronx somewhere.
All the neighbors hated this lady.
They hadn't seen her for really long time.
Turned out just like you said, she was dead.
- Been dead for a year.
- A year? Skeleton of her cat curled up right beside her.
Heh.
You think that's funny? At least she didn't die alone.

JIMMY: I got her.
She's not breathing.
- Where are we at? - Right here.
I should have stayed.
Should have stayed.
Not very smart going in Without turnouts and a mask.
You would have done the same thing.
There should be some law about overloading these places with decorations.
Special inspection, something.
They figure if the lights work, they're okay.
Places like this all over the city.

[OBJECTS CLANGING.]
SULLY: Just the Post and a gum.
Thanks.
Hey, Doc.
- Tough night.
- Yeah.
Did you know Brandolini from the neighborhood? Yeah.
So do you.
You remember that shoe repair place over on Broadway, 1 06th? Yeah.
It closed down a few years back.
That's the shoe guy? Yes, that's the guy.
Yesterday he's arguing with his son about Whether or not to go into a nursing home.
And today he's waking up in the hospital, his wife dead, house gone.
Yeah.
Better not to wake up.
All right.
- It was 10 years.
- Ten years? Since he closed his shop.
- No kidding? That long ago? - Yeah.
- I'll see you.
- Yeah.
[BELL CHIMES.]
[POP MUSIC PLAYS OVER STEREO.]
I put you in an awkward position.
I'm sorry.
- You'd think I'd learned.
- Uh-huh.
I made a stupid mistake.
I do stupid things.
Jimmy.
No.
I was going to the bathroom at the party and Linda pushed in right behind me.
I'm not saying that she forced me or anything.
Used to go out.
I've known her forever.
You don't owe me an explanation.
I know I need to stay away from situations like that because I have a problem.
I'm trying not to be that guy anymore.
People still think I smile and it means more than that.
They just don't get it.
[SIGHS.]
I know this may sound funny considering everything.
But I love Brooke.
I really love her.
I messed up.
Please don't ruin this for me, Alex.
[SIGHS.]
SULLY: Hey, Stan.
I brought you a milkshake.
But the nurses said you can't have anything to drink right now.
You got a radio or anything? How about I bring you one? Listen to some music, the news, basketball game.
You like the Knicks? Sully, I didn't want this.
I know.
No, no, leave-- Look, Stan you were very brave trying to save her.
It's not the way we planned.
We wanted to go together.
Right.
What are you saying, Stan? You were never gonna go to the nursing home, were you? You started the fire.
One peaceful night with the lights.
I lay down beside her.
And I held her very close.
She fell asleep.
I made sure she was asleep.
She wasn't afraid.
I couldn't think what else to do.
BRANDOLINI: Why are you here? I just came by to check on your father.
You're not family.
I'm sorry.
I wanted them safe.
It's not your fault.
I know that.
The only way I could have stopped this is if they were somewhere else.
You had something to do with that.
Come on, Pop.
[MAN YELLS INDISTINCTLY.]
Excuse me, you seen Lucky at all? - Who? - The news lady.
Couple days ago she said, "See you tomorrow.
" Hasn't been back.
All right.
She's definitely not here.
I got your gum.
Can we go? - You ready? - Yes.
It's amazing.
There's another newsstand right around the corner.
They got newspapers, gum, everything.
You're running after me like I'm some kind of a axe-murderer.
Rhonda, you got caught selling crank.
Right here.
It's Rhonda something.
Says she thinks her arm is broken.
Big guys coming at you, What are you gonna do? Why don't you have a seat and give the officer your good arm? - That's a violation of civil rights, isn't it? TY: Sit down.
Place is packed.
How is X-ray today? Backed up like every day.
She's gonna be here for a while.
- Great.
- Yeah, thanks.
I'll be back in a minute, okay? What happened? His lungs are filling up with fluid and his heart's failing.
The doctor doesn't think he'll wake up.
Is there anything I can do? No.
I was ready to take charge, be the parent.
I even took his car keys away like he was being grounded for staying out too late.
I wasn't ready for this.
Who is? I brought him.
If it's okay.
Sure.
There.
["GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN" PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES.]
Look, I never should have said anything to anyone.
But now you know and are spreading rumors.
I just want it to stop.
No one even saw anything except for me.
- You got an eyeful, didn't you? - Ha-ha-ha.
He is nice to look at.
What about Lombardo? You guys think about Lombardo at all? He'll figure it out soon enough.
- And so will Brooke.
- Practically inevitable.
Aren't they the only two people you haven't told? [GROUP LAUGHING.]
This isn't funny.
What's wrong with you guys? [LAUGHTER CONTINUES.]
DOC: Don't feel bad.
Hey, Jackie.
Meatball hero, side salad, tapioca.
- That the beat cop special? - Yup.
Let me guess.
You're here every day.
You sit where you're sitting ordering meatball sandwiches.
Am I right? That's right.
They're still going on about that silliness with Jimmy.
Hear about that? You know anyone who hasn't? [CHUCKLES.]
- You going to the wedding? - Yup.
- You? - Yeah.
I'm Davis's date.
I figured it wouldn't hurt for me to be social for a change.
Doc says he's been checking on your friend, Mr.
Brandolini.
Yeah.
Stan.
You know, I meant to thank you for everything you did for him.
I heard he took a turn.
