-Are you ready Steve? -Uh-huh
-Andy? - Yeah
-Mick? -Okay
All right, fellas, let's go!
Go!
RAY: Police!
-Get your hands up! -BOY: Wait, stop!
SAM : Clear! RAY: Get your hands up!
We're good here, boss.
(GUN FlRlNG)
SAM: Hold on! Hold on!
Put your gun down! Put it down now! Put it down!
You, off the bed! Don't move! Don't move! Don't move!
-This is not what it looks like. -It's not?
Because it looks like the smoking ruins
of what was shaping up to be a promising career.
Come on! We wasn't even doing nothing.
Well, boss, apparently, they wasn't even doing nothing.
I doubt the councilman came by to show off his legislation. Isn't that right?
The councilmember just can't control his council member.
(GENE LAUGHS)
SAM: So he's a councilman? ANNlE: Bobby Prince.
You haven't seen him on television? The fighting councilman?
He's always up on his soapbox about something.
This morning, I think he was more interested in Misty's soapbox.
Looking good, Casanova.
Nothing like a raid on a no-tell motel to start the morning off right.
Prince is a big City Hall fish.
(GENE SlGHS)
Tyler and I are gonna take him back to the precinct for booking.
You and No-Nuts stay here and take some statements.
Come on, Lieut, why can't I go back with you
and have Spaceman and No-Nuts do the canvass?
Nope, just me and our transfer from Hyde here.
-Meet you at the car, Tyler. -What the hell was that about?
Well, maybe he found out you bumped his daughter's bones.
(ANNlE CLEARS THROAT)
So where should we start?
Right here, okay? I got a statement for you.
Are you ready? Coffee. Bagel. Pronto.
I didn't mean to shoot at you. I was just scared.
I thought you were someone else. I just don't know how I got here.
Well, there's an F train a few blocks away and a bus stop on the corner.
You don't understand.
A few months ago, I was walking down Orchard Street
when somebody clubbed me on the back of the head.
The next thing I knew, I was here in 1 973.
They had an apartment for me, clothes, a whole life.
Where are you from?
I'm from 2009, and I don't know how I got here.
My name is Sam Tyler.
I was in an accident and I woke up in 1 973.
I don't know how or why I'm here,
but whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet.
Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.

Sir? Sir? Delivery. Payment, please.
-DELlVERY MAN: Payment. -Hey! Did anybody order Chinese?
Delivery! Who order delivery? Please, sir.
Never should've agreed to handle overflow for the 1 -3-8 today.
-Book this creep, would you? -Put him by my desk.
What's going on with the telephones? I can't hear myself stew.
Been acting screwy all morning. Probably that new switchboard.
Get as many people as you can into holding cells.
We'll process them one by one.
-DETECTlVE: Come on, guys! -Make yourself useful, Tyler.
I'm gonna go get a rundown
on just what the hell is happening here from Sizable T ed.
Is everything okay, boss?
Why wouldn't everything be okay, Tyler?

BRlDE: My own maid of honor, David? How could you?
That's not right...
CHRlS : Sam! Can you help me for a second?
GROOM:...only once! BRlDE: My own maid of honor!

-When I get my hands on... -Tell me what to do!
-I'm begging you! -I got her, Chris.
...straight through your cold black heart!
-SAM: Come here! -Go to hell!
-Sit down. Cool off. -BRlDE: God!
Hey, why won't anybody listen to me? Hey, listen, listen.
Those thugs, they keep spray-painting my car,
and you guys ain't doing nothing about it, huh?
I'll get to you, sir. I'm with someone else right now.
Who, that guy?
That lousy son-of-a-bitch politician is better off dead.
-All right. Hey, take a seat. -Hey! You...
-I see you! -T ake a seat.
Please, Detective, I can't be incarcerated right now.
-Thanks. -I think someone might be after me.
If you really are from 2009, how can you prove it?
-What happens to the Berlin Wall? -lt goes down.
Do the Red Sox ever win the World Series?
-A couple of times. -Okay.
And there's a black president. Our first.
He actually won?
The future, it's all right.
I mean, some bad things happen, but there's some good things, too.
It's hopeful. Not like here.
It's hopeful.

CHRlS: Lay down. Get your head down.
SAM: Who did this?
Get your hands out. I want to see hands.
-CHRlS: Get your head down. -Who did it?
GENE: Get them down!
They killed me because I found the way home.
-The way home? -GENE: T oss them one by one!
-What... What's the way home? -PRlNCE: I can't...
Hey, hey, stay with me. No, stay with me.
-Stay with me. -There's nothing here...
-Please. Hey. -...for any of us.
-Stay with me. -PRlNCE: There's...
No.
Who did this?
Somebody saw something. Somebody must've seen something!
What are you doing here?
Lock it down.
CHRlS: Lock what down? GENE: This is a crime scene.
No one gets in or out of the 1 -2-5 until we figure this out.
Sarge, lock us down!
It's, it's a ballroom blitz It's, it's a ballroom blitz
Lock us down!
(GENE SNlFFS)
What are you doing?
GENE : We need a full account of all the guns in the precinct.
Everyone was tossed after the shooting. No gun was found.
Do you think it could've been one of our own?
I don't think. I react. Let me see yours.
-What? -Now.
(SAM SlGHS)
Maria, would you wait in my office?
-What for? -There is a killer in our midst.
I am being a doting father. In my office.
Detective Tyler, would you please deposit Maria in my office? Now.
(MARlA SCOFFS)
MARlA: Who would want to shoot the councilman?
Not sure. Maria, why are you here?
I wanted to talk.
-Well, this is not a good time. -Well, clearly.
I think he knows about the file room.
Of course he knows.
He may not be many things, but he is a good detective.
I'll be right back.
GENE: None of these were fired.
The killer must've hid the gun during the chaos after the shooting.
I want to conduct a complete area search.
Hey, Chris.
Who would've wanted this guy dead?
Annie said something about him being on the news.
And on the radio, and in the papers.
He's always causing a stink.
Gun control, zoning laws, minimum wage. Can you imagine?
(SAM SCOFFS)
But if someone wanted to whack the councilman,
why do it when he's in police custody? It's a desperate move.
Somebody needed him dead right away.
All right, we separated all the suspects with a vantage point.
SlZABLE TED: Put the rest of them back in the holding cells
except for our suicidal groom here.
-I think we better keep an eye on him. -Okay, good.
Detectives. Look, I'm no criminal. I got mugged this morning.
I came here to file a complaint. I'm not even supposed to be here.
-Hey, you crazy? What are you doing? -GROOM: Come on.
I got a plane leaving to go home to Wisconsin this afternoon.
My wife is gonna have a conniption. You gotta let me go.
T ake a seat.
-Sizable? -Sit down.
(MAN GASPlNG)
Thank you.
It's the councilman's briefcase. It was in his room at the motel.
I found the deed to his condo.
Just this morning, he signed it over to a woman named Elena Kastin.
Start pulling up any files you can find on this woman.
Okay.
(GENE EXHALlNG)
You were intimately involved with the councilman this morning.
Anything you'd like to confess, Misty? Any pillow talk?
We met five minutes before you two showed up.
In my line of work, we don't find much time for pillow talk.
Maybe you faked your attempted suicide.
Me?
So that the Bride of Frankenstein here could pop the councilman.
-BRlDE: What? No, no, no! -What? No!
No, I don't believe in violence. Just...
No, I mean, unless it's against my lying, cheating husband, that is!
I tried to kill myself! What more do I gotta do to show you...
I'm not your marriage counselor! Shut up!
Hold off on this domestic squabble until we get this thing settled. Got it?
-Hey! You. -Me?
-Up. Now. -Come on. You gotta be kidding.
-I ain't going nowhere. -Sizable.
Hey! Hey, one sec! Come on! You ain't gotta do that!
Who shot him?
SAM: That's what we're trying to determine now.
It was bedlam in here. None of our guys saw anything.
Hunt's ordered a lockdown,
so we need you and Annie to investigate from the outside.
All right. What do we know?
SAM: Well, the councilman signed over the deed to his condo this morning
to a woman named Elena Kastin. No address for her so far.
Well, it can't be just a coincidence that on the morning of the guy's murder
he signs his digs over to this chick.
We'll do some nosing around.
We'll get back to you.
Why don't you take the rest of the day off, No-Nuts?
Go catch a matinee.
The Way We Were is playing in Times Square.
It's a nice twirl picture,
made my wife cry, and she's meaner than Mussolini.
I'm going with you.
Look, just because some morons think you ladies can be detectives,
don't mean you can pretend to be one for one day, okay?
You're a policewoman. Emphasis on the "woman."
You heard what Sam said. Hunt wants us both on the case.
-We're wasting time. -RAY: Unbelievable.
Next thing you know, they'll be letting them vote.
-We already can vote, Ray. -Don't remind me.
I was all the way across the room
trying to flag down an officer when the councilman got shot.
I didn't see nothing.
You did tell one of my guys the councilman was better off dead.
I was forced to close down my dry cleaning shop
when the councilman rezoned the neighborhood, okay?
-Now I'm flat broke. -So it was about revenge.
Believe me. I would've loved to kill the councilman myself.
-I would. But look at me. I'm not a killer. -You did see something!
I...
Okay, I saw the Chinese guy.
He whispered something into the councilman's ear
right before he got popped.
SlZABLE TED: Hey, hey!
DELlVERY MAN: Don't give me trouble! You no pay, you no eat!
I already told you, we got a monthly tab with Ma Yang.
We're practically family.
-Now give me the food! -Give him the box.
-No. No. No can do. -You can and you will.
(GENE EXCLAlMS)
What have we here?
Not my gun. No! I don't know. Not my gun.
Well, it sure as hell ain't my moo goo gai pan.
SAM: If someone was after Prince, that would explain the paranoia
-but not the rest of it. -What's the rest of it?

(SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW PLAYlNG OVER PHONE)
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
-Am I under house arrest? -We all are.
Does it scare you
-if he knows? -Does it scare you?
You kidding me?
This is his dream, his version of parenting.
Lock us up, kept where he can keep an eye.
Can I get you anything else?
Want to meet me in the file room in 1 0 minutes?
-Maria! -I'm kidding, Sam. I'm fine.
Just find your shooter so I can get the hell out of my father's office.
If Mr. Prince was involved in anything he shouldn't have been,
I would have known. You learn a lot about a person, being their secretary.
Not just how they take their coffee. I'm sure you understand.
(SUE SNlFFLlNG)
Did the councilman have any enemies that you were aware of?
He'd only been in office for a few months,
but it's no secret that Mr. Prince
was not exactly beloved among the community.
T o them he was this eccentric politician who seemed to have fall out of the sky.
-Do you mind if I have a look around? -SUE: No, help yourself.
SUE: Mr. Prince talked about what this city would one day become,
how poverty and unemployment wouldn't always be what it is today.
I found it inspiring.
What's all this?
I'm just trying to make sense of what's happening to me.
RAY: Annie.
-Anything back there? -Nothing.
Did you notice anything different
about the councilman's behavior in recent weeks?
He was a little anxious and confused at times.
He'd sometimes forget where he was or where he lived.
He often spoke about leaving, going back where he came from.
Did he ever mention a woman named Elena Kastin?
No. I never heard that name.
Were you aware of any stops
that Prince had to make this morning, any meetings?
The only meeting I'm aware of is later today.
Aaron Avery Park.
I'm supposed to pick up a package for Mr. Prince at 4:00 p.m.
-A package from who? -SUE: I don't know.
I only spoke to him on the phone,
but I know this package was very important to Mr. Prince.
Well, it's best if you don't go. That could be dangerous.
You let us take care of it.
DELlVERY MAN: Please, I don't want trouble!
It's a simple question.
What was the gun doing in your bag?
I leave bag on floor next to councilman.
I ask him, "Watch food while I go look for payment."
All of a sudden, bang, bang! I drop to floor.
You're saying you didn't know that gun was in that bag?
No, sir!
It's been wiped clean and defaced to boot.
-No fingerprints, no serial numbers. -Want to book him?
He was just as surprised to see the gun in the bag as I was.
Somebody planted it. T ake him back to the squad, Sizable.
Wait! Listen to me! At least councilman was better tipper!
You know the problem with punching a Chinese guy?
An hour later, you want to punch him again.
(DELlVERY MAN GASPlNG)
SAM: So you're gonna go to the arranged meeting at the park,
posing as Prince's secretary?
Y eah. If this package was so important to the councilman,
it might help us figure out who killed him.
Listen, there's something else you should know about Prince.
He told me... He told me he was from 2009.
That might explain what I found in his office.
What? What was it?
He had a list of possible explanations,
practically identical to the one you have.
(GASPS)
Annie, the last thing he told me before he died
was that he found the way home.
Maybe that's why he signed over the deed to the condo this morning.
He thought he was going home.
The councilman's secretary didn't know anything about an Elena Kastin,
and they seemed pretty close.
(MlSTY CRYlNG)
All the more reason for him to keep Elena a secret.
I'll radio you later.
-Bye. -Bye.
You want a bite?
I can't go to the park in my uniform,
but I don't have time to run back to Queens and change.
You're about the same size as my wife, give or take a few slices of pepperoni.
Why don't we go pay a visit?
It's true what they say.
You never appreciate your home until it's taken away from you.
-Amen! -Thank you.
I just wanted to see the view from the top of the Empire State Building,
maybe eat a pretzel from one of those street carts.
Detective, please let me call my wife.
I missed my flight. She's gonna be so worried.
Just be patient. We'll let you know when you can make a call.
Hey, Elena, could you pass me that cup of coffee, please?
Now do me another favor.
Stand up and put your hands behind your back.
All right, we can't stay long. Denise don't like entertaining visitors.
-Very busy woman. -Really? What does she do?
Besides waking up in the middle of the night screaming, "How did I get here?"
(ANNlE GlGGLES)
Ray? You must be Annie.
Please excuse the mess. I haven't had time to vacuum today.
No, I'm sorry to interrupt your day like this.
-We just... -No, no. I'm just happy to finally meet
someone from Ray's work. Can I get you some coffee,
some tea, a root beer float maybe?
-Come here. -ANNlE: Thank you.
ANNlE: This is lovely.
The councilman signed over the deed to his condo to you this morning.
Do you still plan on sticking by your story
-that you only just met Prince today? -We met a few months ago.
He was my regular Tuesday and Thursday client.
Twice a week, huh? That's more than most married couples.
He didn't want what my other clients wanted.
He was a gentleman. He just needed someone to talk to.
Do you have any idea where the councilman was planning on moving?
Sure, I do.
Where?
Somewhere over the rainbow, of course.
(GENE LAUGHS)
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.
Bobby insisted on giving the condo to me.
I didn't want anything from him.
What did you just say to me?
Phones must be out again at the precinct. I can't get through.
(DENlSE SlGHS)
-You look gorgeous. -It's the dress that's gorgeous.
-Where did you get it? -I made it.
(DENlSE LAUGHS)
I do a little sewing in my spare time. Just something I picked up.
What? You put a piece of string through a needle,
you call that a hobby?
-I'll never understand it. -Ray.
I gotta tell you, Annie, I'm absolutely in love with your haircut.
I've been wanting to chop this off, but...
No, what? We've been through this.
Long hair is a gift. Not everybody can pull that off.
-Why would you want to lop off a gift? -Well, I think short hair would suit you.
Ray thinks cutting your hair is a signature of the modern woman
and the end of civilization as he knows it.
And just what's so terrible about a liberated woman?
Nothing at all, as long as there's a fence around them.
All right, better get going, leave Denise to fix some supper.
Nothing I love more than coming home to a pork chop on the table
and a pilsner in a frosted glass.
If every man's day ended that way, we would have no war.
Although the peace would be a little tough to take.
You see? Now that's why you got no man, Norris.
-Ray, that's not nice. -I'm just saying.
Denise, it was really lovely to meet you.
-You should think about... -Yeah, yeah!
Enough, Norris. We gotta go.
-All right. -Bye.
Hope to see you again soon, Annie.
I think you know more than you're letting on.
Bobby didn't talk much about where he was going or where he was from,
but I know he missed home, wherever that was.
Said he didn't really feel like he had one anymore.
Not one to call his own, at least, and I could relate.
Though I'm sure you worthless pigs wouldn't understand a thing like that.
I know you're probably used to being in compromising positions, Miss Kastin,
but let me tell you, shooting your mouth off ain't gonna help you any.
There was nothing he hated more than corrupt cops,
and there's nothing those meat-eaters hated more than Bobby.
They started to suspect him of sniffing around their dirty dealings.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised he died in police custody.
Need I remind you he wouldn't have even been here
unless he had met you for some early morning mating, tweet?
It's not your time yet, Sam.
(TV SWlTCHES ON)
It's not your time to go home. The bluebirds ain't flying yet, not for you.
You still have work to do.
(BARACK OBAMA SPEAKlNG ON TV)
When it's your time to go, we will let you know.
Your time will come.
(TV SWlTCHES OFF)
When?
When will I get to go home?
GENE: Just as soon as one of these nuts crack.
Then we all get to go home. Let's go, hooker.
(SAM SNlFFLlNG)
RAY: Guess our mystery man's running late.
-ANNlE: Denise seems real sweet. -She's a peachamaroo.
Not at all what I expected.
I read somewhere that males are often attracted to their female equivalents.
Am I not sweet? I think I'm sweet.
(ANNlE LAUGHS SARCASTlCALLY)
What? She never wants for nothing.
Once a year I take her and her nasty mother down to Cocoa Beach.
For her last birthday, I got us two tickets
to go see Dean Martin in Atlantic City.
-She likes Dean Martin? -No, but I do.
That must be him.
(RAY OPENlNG CAR DOOR)
Wait, wait! Sue said that only she was supposed to be at the meeting.
If you go, too, he might suspect something.
There is no way I'm letting you handle this on your own.
Good afternoon, sir.
I believe you have something for my boss?
When we spoke, I didn't realize you'd be bringing a friend, Sue.
This is my brother T ony. He's just a little overprotective.
Can you give us a minute, T ony?
Yeah, sure.
I trust you'll make sure that this makes its way to Mr. Prince?
Of course.
Is there a message to go along with it?
T ell him I said goodbye
and safe travels.
If what Elena says is true,
the councilman could have been taken out by someone
who wanted to keep him from investigating corruption, you know?
Do any of these cops have any debts you know about
or gambling problems or skeletons?
When Maria was six,
I bought her a brand new Hopalong Cassidy lunchbox
because she insisted there was a monster living in her old one.
A few years later,
I played hooky and took her to the Bronx Zoo for her birthday.
But she'll never remember any of those things.
All she remembers is that
I got her middle initial wrong on some silly graduation pen.
Gene, l...
You can speculate on the whys and hows all you want, Tyler.
But the fact is our killer could be one of our own.
And there's no greater betrayal
when it's your own family.
I... I didn't know.
I believe you, Detective. You're a good kid.
And you know what day it is most of the time.
-You should talk to her. -I'm not angry at you, Tyler,
but that doesn't give you the right to play Dear Abby here.
(SAM SlGHS)
Could one of these cops be the shooter?
GENE: If that's the case,
I think I got a way to flush this snake out.
This ain't The Mod Squad, No-Nuts.
We don't play games, and we don't undermine our superiors.
This is exactly why women shouldn't be detectives.
Well,
whatever the councilman was involved in,
Iooks like this is the guy we need to talk to.
SlZABLE TED: You know, doll, after this is over,
we should head over to Fatora's
where I'll treat you to a chicken piccata that'll change your life.
Hey, meathead, back off! Her life don't need changing.
-All right? -SlZABLE TED: Sit down.
We're just talking. Don't get your cummerbund in a bunch.
(DOOR OPENlNG)
I need to find a file.
Okay, so you know.
What are you gonna do? T ake away my dolls?
I can't watch My Three Sons for a month?
We're so mad at each other, you and me.
Have been for as long as I know.
You know the first time you told me you loved me, I was 1 9 years old?
-That's not true. -Do you remember?
How I came home from school special and I asked you to go for a walk,
and after 20 minutes of trying to get out of that walk,
you came with me, and I said to you, "T ell me that you love me.
"l need you to tell me that you love me.
"l need you so bad to tell me that you love me."
Do you remember?
And finally you did.
After two whole hours, after I cried myself dry, you grunted it.
You grunted it and patted me on the shoulder.
Do you remember?
-That's not the first time I told you. -Yes, it was.
The first time I told you was when Caroline Feffer called you "stupid stork"
'cause you were taller than the other girls.
I was in the first grade with Caroline Feffer.
Yeah, so?
And I told you then.
I was six years old. Of course, I don't remember that.
Well, I do.
GROOM: Hey, what did I just say?
Excuse me.
GROOM: Don't talk to her!
-SlZABLE TED: What do you say, doll? -No, thank you.
Son of a bitch! I told you don't talk to her!
GROOM: What did I tell you? I said don't talk to her!
-Help! Help! Somebody help! -What did I say? What did I say?
What did I say? Okay! Okay, hey!
-Okay, hey! -BRlDE: Stop it. You're hurting him.
GENE: You learn how to do that on the farm, Russell?
(RUSSELL NERVOUSLY LAUGHS)
I saw it on TV.
'Cause that's the first thing they teach you to do at the Academy.
I knew if a fight happened to break out in this room,
certain things would come naturally to a cop.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(MARlA SCREAMS)
-You don't want to do that. Russell! -SAM: Russell, let her go.
You know the second thing they teach you in the Academy?
How to conceal a weapon. Don't be stupid! Lower your weapons.
All right, drop the knife, Russell.
Let's talk about this, you and me, cop to cop.
I didn't want to murder anybody.
But when Prince got pinched, I didn't have a choice.
Down! I knew he was gonna spill about what he had on me.
Whatever reason you had to murder the councilman,
-I'm sure it was a good one. -You, down! Down!
And now you're about to murder this girl in cold blood for no good reason.
What's that gonna get you?
You don't really want to kill another innocent person today.
RUSSELL: You think the councilman was innocent?
I gave 1 6 years of my life to this job.
He was gonna put me away for twice that long,
when all I did was do this city a favor by shaking down a few lowlife,
filthy drug dealers, the dregs of society.
-Please. -Don't you worry, Maria.
He's not gonna hurt you. He knows better than to hurt you.
Don't you know better than to hurt her?
Things were a certain way in this city before Prince arrived.
Then he tried to change things, make them his way.
Drop your weapons!
Release her, you son of a bitch.
OFFlCER 1 : Did you see that? MARlA: Wow.
OFFlCER 2: Nice. MARlA: Annie.
(MARlA EXHALlNG)
Thank you.
OFFlCER 3: All right, I'll secure it.
Well done, Annie.
Guess your new nickname should be, "No-Nonsense Norris," huh?
I'm only here to keep your girlfriend safe.
The only thing in the briefcase, aside from the file, was this postcard.
I guess I'll never know if the councilman knew the way home or not.
He was confused, Sam.
-Deeply troubled. -I know.
But a part of me was hoping that he wasn't crazy,
that he could actually help me find the way home.
You can always click your heels together three times and say...
(SAM LAUGHS)
Yeah.
He never made it home.
He came so close, but he never made it.
I hope you have better luck.
Yeah, well, you see, I don't know if you really just said that
-or if I imagined it. -I said it.
And you imagined it.
(SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW PLAYlNG)
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby
-SAM : You okay? -I am.
Of course, I wish I'd never gotten mixed up in all this in the first place.
You couldn't have known when you walked in here this morning
that you'd end the day held at knifepoint.
I'm not talking about the lockdown, Sam.
Oh!
-Oh! Right. Right. -Don't look so aggrieved.
It's like what Dorothy says in The Wizard of Oz.
"There's no place like home."
"lf you want to find your heart's desire,
"look no further than your own backyard."
What do you mean?
-Annie? -No! No, no, we're friends.
God made you cute, but he also made you a little dense, didn't he?
-I'll see you around, Detective. -Wait, that's... That's it?
We'll always have the file room.
(LAUGHS)
You sure you don't want to get checked out by a doctor?
No, I'm fine.
-Good night, Gene. -You know, I was thinking,
you've been calling me by my first name since forever.
Why don't you try "Dad" just once, see how it feels?
-Why don't you try "Dad" just for once? -I will if you will.
Maybe someday, but not today.
-I'll see you around, Gene. -See you around.
ANNlE: Ray.
Thank Denise for letting me borrow her dress.
-Good night, Ray. -You're feeling good, aren't you?
Smug.
You had quite a day.
Got to play detective, a little interrogation,
a little undercover, a little saving the boss's daughter.
-A little saving your silly ass. -Hey,
it don't matter what you do, don't matter what happens,
you will always be No-Nuts Norris, the one that don't belong,
the novelty, the party favor.
Capicheing me?
Okay. Fine.
But you do have to ask yourself, Ray,
just what is it about me that scares you so damn much?
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
SAM : Which one are you?
(SAM SNlFFS)
All three.
Look, I was thinking, boss,
I know that having me here can be difficult for you.
What if I wanted to go back?
T o Hyde?
Is that possible?
-I'll get them on the horn right now. -You mean you can do that?
You can just send me back to where I came from?
Yeah.
(SAM GASPS)
Hello. Is this the Wizard of Oz?
The Wizard will sort it out because of the wonderful things he does.
You were transferred here at your own request.
I didn't ask for you.
You wanted to come.
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can 't I?
