Tasty Mystery Baskets of Clips

So that I couldn't cheat justice like they said my wife had done.

Birdy. Uh, the girl. No, the girl's okay.

Where do you get those things, anyway?

Then I use its cash flow to finance another, and so on,

I used to regret being the barber.

Now it got signed over to the bank, and the bank signed some over to Frank.

Was I crazy to be thinking about it?

What, they don't have wake-up calls?

You have to tell us.

What's the problem, friend? this is a business establishment with posted hours.

Come on, get ready.

Take your coat, Ann?

'Course, you know where it goes. You probably pick pieces of it off your lawn all the time,

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Couple of fistfights, right? Go to his service record.

It says here that the russians exploded an a-bomb...

Congratulations.

Of course there was one person who could confirm Doris's story,

Doris's boss, Big Dave Brewster,

She's okay, though.

Pete's got some news for ya.

Hospital file rooms,

- But he's... - The best.

You also have an interest in the securing porperty?

Life is just so goddamn wonderful, You almost won't believe it.

His name is Jacques...

He has forfeited the right to his own life.

And then you might as well have the man sell you the goddamned fish, Ed.

Strictly business.

That's really none of my business.

He was deaf when he wrote this.

Room's okay, though. I poked around.

Think I'll be getting home now.

So you needed a guide, someone with a gift for talking to souls.

She play, monsieur,

I cannot repeat it to you, but this thing goes deep, Ed.

- You have any Prairie Oysters? - No, sir.

That's what he keeps telling me.

Specialty store down in Sacramento.

You know, I work pretty hard at school.

It keeps growing,

For all I know, he talked to himself on the way home.

Give me your hand.

Pop doesn't like people smoking in here.

I knew step by step, of course,

I talked to this guy.

i-i-I do probate and real estate...

You might say I had it made.

We're openin' another store over there on carson,

He never touched me again.

I mean, I never woulda, you know.

Or what would have happened,

Sure you don't want anything? No? Okay.

A kid, really, your whole life ahead of you.

Freddy Riedenschneider sees daylight.

But there was nobody there.

It's all the same in the end.

So I said, Look, dear. Go ahead. Look at the menu.

Did Big Dave mention it was something about his war service?

He told them to look at me, look at me close.

Reasonable... doubt.

Doris, she was, she was pretty hot about that, god bless her.

Ladies and gentlemen, members of the jury, citizens of Santa Rosa,

And no one to tell 'em to anyway.

Do you mind? You don't mind.

Yeah, I guess. Pop says so too.

With a loudmouthed buddy of mine who was seeing a friend of hers from work.

I was with her.

Usually Tuesday night.

Well, Jeez, Mr. Crane. I hadn't really thought about a career or stuff.

In your ear, mister.

I'm saying that sometimes the more you look,

He takes them on for next to nothing. So you're a cinch to be accepted.

I don't get it.

Anyone could open 'em up and make sense of the whole goddamn store.

He's the dead guy.

Not like most people you run into on this side.

Something maybe like what I found listening to Birdy play.

I do the talking. You keep your trap shut.

But cash, that's fine.

And bingo is probably the extent of it.

Except that in certain situations it's not, see.

So, uh, What do l, uh...

It's all done with chemicals, friend.

Move for a mistrial! Your honor!

Hey, you want the dough back?

In the matter of the people v. Doris Crane,

All going about their business.

It just keeps growing.
