Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 2, Episode 9 - Run of the Mill - full transcript

The ordeals of an elderly friend (Jack Klugman) prompt Sully to consider his own loneliness. Taylor regrets revealing a secret about Doherty on the eve of his wedding.

NARRATOR:
Previously on Third Watch.

I'm getting married. Me and Brooke.
We got engaged.

TY: Janice has this friend at work.
SULLY: No, thanks.

She's great, recently divorced,
just lost a lot of weight.

Gotta beat sitting in your apartment
every night.

MAN: Bobby Caffey, this is Alex Taylor.
Today is her first day.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[WOMAN LAUGHS]

Hey, Alex.

Hey. Thanks.

See, now, this has to beat
the best hotel room in Atlantic City.



She laid down the law.
No bachelor party.

- Aw. No strippers?
- What am I? Stupid?

- I'm in heaven.
- Whoa.

No sitting around when
there's dancing out here.

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

Bobby, Alex, Brooke.
You know this bloke.

- Hey.
- Congratulations. Jimmy, this is incredible.

BROOKE:
Honey, you want to dance?

Oh, I'm still getting loose. Go ahead.

- Okay. Come on, Bobby.
- All right.

BOBBY:
Come on, baby.

Brooke's great.

Yeah, she's all right.

Kids were throwing rocks.
Spooked the poor thing.



- On purpose?
- Yeah.

Went right up the trunk and onto
the roof like it was ready to take off.

SULLY:
Doc, what do you got?

We're gonna have to lift this thing up
to get these people out.

SULLY: Let's do it.
DOC: All right.

SULLY:
All right. One, two, three, go.

DOC:
Slow, slow, slow.

BOSCO:
Man.

Okay, get the backboard.

The season brings out
the best in people, doesn't it?

Coming, Bobby?

BOBBY:
Why?

So we can be up
Where it's really, really cold?

Because it's fun.

Ha.

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.

- It's a hundred stories.
- A hundred and two.

Oh.

And you were how old, Fay wray?

Seventh grade.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

- It's really beautiful up here.
- Hmm.

[WHINNIES]

Weird to see a horse standing
there bleeding like that.

It doesn't seem right.

- How old is he?
- Twenty four.

We were gonna be retiring
in the spring.

This poor thing is in a lot of pain.

Yeah.

Well, isn't there something
We can do to help him?

Want me to shoot him?

ALL:
No.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

[LAUGHS]

So sorry.

[CHUCKLES]

[CLEARS THROAT]

[DOOR OPENS]

- Hey.
- Sorry.

Come on, Lombardo, I have to go.

Lombardo, come on, please.

BOBBY:
Whoo! Yes.

Go, Lombardo. Let's go, baby.
Come on. Speech time.

Hey, listen up. 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]

Come on.

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.

[GIGGLES]

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.
- You got a paramedic shift?

Yeah. Hi.

Hey, cool.

What's up with this morning?
I missed you at the gym. You sleep in?

Sleep and stuff.

- You bench 250?
- I got up 275.

Whoo.

Right on, man.

Mocha cappuccino.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Might as well work midnights.
It gets dark so early now.

- Shift just started.
- Give me the summer anytime.

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.

DISPATCHER: Five-five Charlie, 1034.
Assault in progress.

987 Morningside. EMS en route.

Five-five Charlie, 987 Morningside.

[SIREN WAILING]

[GLASSES SHATTERING]

You get out of there. You leave us alone.

[TINNY VERSION OF "JINGLE BELLS"
PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- Come here! Come here!
- Hey!

Stan? You okay?

I'll break your damn skulls.

Are you all right?

Damn rat-faced kids.

Just take it easy.

Yeah. The cops will get them.

[MOANS]

DOC:
Whoa, whoa. Be careful.

Oh. Look at that. It was perfect.

Almost perfect.

Don't worry, we'll put it back together.

TY:
I got one of them, Sully.

Little slow-ass. Let's go.

STAN: we just wanted
a peaceful night with the lights.

That's all we wanted.

Hon...

...I'm here.

No need to worry no more, okay?

Just breathe normally, Mr. Brandolini.

But he's okay?

- He just got the wind knocked out of him.
- I'm all right.

You're gonna have a nice bruise,
Mr. Brandolini, very colorful.

We're gonna take you
to the hospital, get checked out...

- ...make sure you didn't crack a rib or two.
- Hospital? No.

I gotta be here tonight.
I got things to do.

- No, I'm not gonna do that. Aah.
- Whoa.

What are you doing? Are you okay?

Don't worry about me, all right?

Phew.

Honey...

...I got the toys for the Y in the car.
You know, in the trunk.

I don't think
I'm gonna be able to make it.

They still having
that Christmas party?

Oh, yeah. Sure.

But they're gonna have
to stay in the trunk.

Hey. Tell the truth, fellows.

Is this the most beautiful girl
in the world or what?

You know that walkman sold already.

He's gonna spend all night trolling
1 24th Street looking for serial numbers.

The guy needed a mission.

[HORN HONKS]

- Hey.
FAITH: Hey.

- Anything interesting?
- Nope. You?

- No. Same old holiday stupidity.
- Ha-ha.

Hey, you heard about Jimmy, right?

- No.
- What happened?

Oh, he was nailing some chick
in the men's room at his pre-wedding bash.

Jimmy's a role model, man. Ha-ha.

You might not be saying that
if the situation was reversed.

Reversed?

Yeah, infidelity.
It's an equal opportunity employer, boys.

ALEX:
Twenty-seven Christmas gifts.

- You believe that?
- Twenty-seven?

Yup. It's gonna take me forever
to get this shopping done.

That's terrifying.

I got maybe six.

Two hours online and I'm done.

- Can you get nice stuff online?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Hey, you...

...planning on going
to that wedding next week?

Probably.

[DOC CHUCKLING]

Should be very nice
if it actually happens, you know?

DISPATCHER: Adam five-five-three.
Residential fire reported.

987 Morningside.
Fire and PD en route.

Adam five-five-three, 987 Morningside.

[SIREN WAILING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Hey, isn't that
the old guy from last night?

DOC:
Anybody see the old couple come out?

Hello! Hello!

[FIRE TRUCK SIREN AND HORN SOUNDING]

Can't see anyone. Anyone inside?

Hey, what are you doing?

You think I'm just gonna watch it burn?

I'll get the extinguisher off the rig.

Hello? Anybody here?

Hello?

[COUGHING, GASPING]

STAN:
I gotta-- I gotta get back!

My wife! I gotta get upstairs!

[SIREN APPROACHING]

SULLY:
Doc.

- Alex went inside.
- How long?

About a minute ago.
She went in through a side window.

God.

Stan.

MAN 1:
You gotta stay behind the barricade.

[MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

[HORN HONKS]

MAN 2:
Boys, we got a ladder truck coming.

SULLY: You okay?
- I'm okay.

- All right.
- I'm okay.

Alex needs oxygen.

[COUGHS]

JIMMY:
Bring him down. Bring him down.

[STAN GASPING]

DOC:
Bring him over here. Over here.

- Get him.
- Come on.

Please.

KIM:
Come on, sir. Come on.

- Here we go.
- Please.

- Come on, Mr. Brandolini. Lay down.
- Lie down. Lie down.

All right. Let us look at you. Okay?

SULLY: what about the wife?
MAN: we'll find her.

SULLY:
Her name's Gail.

She's a stroke victim. She can't walk.

One-sixty over 110.

No. Hold on.

Mr. Brandolini, you have
to leave the mask on. Okay?

You gotta keep the mask on.

KIM:
Pulse 120. Respiration is 32.

- He's got burns on both arms.
STAN: Please let me go.

KIM:
Need you to lie down. I need to check you.

Keep the mask on, Mr. Brandolini.

KIM: Let us take care of you first, sir.
BOBBY: I'm gonna stick him.

Alex, where are you going?
You stay out of there.

Yeah, I know. I know.

- Crazy old guy.
- What?

Kept trying to go back inside.

He's trying to save his wife.

[FIREMEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

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.

[VEHICLE DOORS CLOSING]

You were at that party, right?

You hear about that Doherty thing?

- I should get back.
- Huh?

DOC:
We got a 75-year-old male.

Smoke inhalation, partial thickness
burns, shortness of breath.

BP's 160 over 110.

Pulse is 120. Respiration is 32.
Increasingly labored.

EEG, chest, CBC, chem panel.

Let's move him. Ready, go.

What do we got here?
Any other burns coming?

A firefighter. Ahem. Minor injuries.

- You should get checked out.
- I'm fine.

KIM: You want some water?
- That would be great. Hey.

Said you wouldn't say anything,
you tell Davis?

- What are you talking about?
- Ahem. Doherty and that girl.

I didn't say anything to Davis.

- Who did you tell?
- I didn't tell anybody.

- Bobby.
- I didn't.

I might have said something to Kim.
But only because she figured it out herself.

KIM:
Bobby.

Can I talk to you for a second?

[MOUTHS WORDS]

Sure. What's up?

Where are they?
Sullivan, where are they?

Your dad's in there.

My mother?

- I need someone to open this door.
- Doctor's gonna talk to you soon as he can.

- No, I need somebody to open this door.
- Mr. Brandolini, please.

[MONITOR BEEPING,
STAFF TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

[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.

Yeah, he did. He died.

Sorry.

Hmm.

Sometimes what's best
doesn't seem right, but it is.

Think he was ready?

It was what he wanted. Almost.

He didn't get to die at home. But....

I'm hoping he was dreaming like he was.

Mm.

Thank you, ma'am.

Why don't you sit down,
have something to eat here?

All right.

What would you like?

I'll have what he's having.

JACKIE: Meatball hero, side salad, tapioca.
- Some coffee?

- Sure.
- Jackie?

Hi, I'm your neighbor.

I just wanted to--

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm your neighbor.
I just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm John Sullivan.

That's for me?

Yeah. It's....

They're some cookies.

Okay.

Anyway, I just wanted
to introduce myself.

I'm Tatiana.

Tatiana.

- That's a nice name. I'll remember it.
- Okay.

Okay.

I like old movies.

You watch them late. I hear the TV.

Oh, I'm sorry. I....

- Um....
- No.

Good afternoon, John.

Yeah. Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

MINISTER:
Love is patient.

Love is kind and envies no one.

Love keeps no score of wrongs...

...does not gloat over other
men's sins, but delights in the truth.

There is nothing love cannot face.

There is no limit to its faith,
its hope and its endurance.

- So you and Sarah living together?
- Yeah.

Think you guys
are gonna get married?

[DOOR OPENS]

It's going good the way it is right now.

MINISTER:
It's a gift to be treasured...

...to be nourished and to be grown
over time with great care.

May your love sustain you
in the best and worst of times.

- I miss much?
MINISTER: May you find comfort, challenge...

...in each other
that will deepen the bond of friendship.

Joey, the rings?

There we are.

You hear if it's an open bar?

Yeah, I would think so.

- First hour or two.
- Yeah, probably.

Now if there's anyone in this assembly...

...Who knows a reason
these two shouldn't be joined...

...in holy matrimony, speak now
or forever hold your peace.

SULLY CLEARS THROAT]

[CHUCKLING, COUGHING]

[MUFFLED LAUGHTER]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

JIMMY:
Your chariot awaits.

- Okay, okay.
BOSCO: Don't step on the train, man.

ALEX: Bon voyage.
SULLY: Have fun, you guys.

- All right.
KIM: Joey, be careful.

[ALL CHEERING, CHATTERING]

Snow.

Reception's not gonna
get going for an hour or so.

You doing anything?

No.

- What's in the bag?
- Christmas presents.

My friend Stan used to bring them every
year to the kids around the corner at the Y.

- Mm-hm.
- He's not gonna make it this year. So....

You want to come with me?

Sure. I'll keep you company.

[TOYS CLANGING]

- Santa.
- Ha-ha.

Does that make you one of the elves?

[CHUCKLES]
