• Mayor Frizzoli : [Frizzoli shows up at his sister's farmhouse frantically looking for her]  Anna-Marie! Anna-Marie! Anna-Marie!

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : [gathering eggs from a chicken coop]  What?

  Mayor Frizzoli : Where the hell are you?

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : What is it now, Mario?

  Mayor Frizzoli : You left the front door open, again. Where the hell is he?

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : He's out back.

  Mayor Frizzoli : I told you to keep him in the HOUSE!

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : Well, he's helping me. I got to do all the work myself, you know, since you made me fire everybody.

  Mayor Frizzoli : I had to fire everybody so they wouldn't know he was here!

  [Lane appears from behind playing with a toy airplane] 

  Lane Biddlecoff : Hello, Uncle Mario.

  Mayor Frizzoli : Shut up. All right, now, listen to me, the two of you. There's a train arriving here in a couple hours.

  Lane Biddlecoff : What train?

  Mayor Frizzoli : And on that train is Lane Biddlecoff's body.

  Lane Biddlecoff : But I'm Lane Biddlecoff.

  Mayor Frizzoli : [slaps Lane across the face]  Didn't I say shut up?

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : What are you talking about?

  Mayor Frizzoli : There's a stiff showing up here with your idiot son's name on it.

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : What?

  Mayor Frizzoli : That's right. He's no longer a living deserter. Now, he's a dead hero.

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : There must be some mistake.

  Mayor Frizzoli : Of course, it's a mistake, but the point is, we're the only ones who know it! Now look, when the stiff shows up, we do a bit at the railroad station, have a five-minute parade, then zap, it goes in the ground, zap, we cover it up, then we stick the moron here on the first banana boat to Venezuela.

  Lane Biddlecoff : How come I got to go to Venezuela?

  Mayor Frizzoli : Because you didn't have the sense to get killed!

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : That is your nephew that you're talking about! Your own sister's son!

  Lane Biddlecoff : I don't want to go to Venezuela!

  Mayor Frizzoli : You should have thought of that before you deserted!

  Lane Biddlecoff : I wouldn't have deserted if you would've kept me out of the draft.

  Mayor Frizzoli : [angrily]  WHAT DRAFT? YOU'RE ENLISTED!

  Lane Biddlecoff : [chuckles]  Oh, yeah. That's right.

  Mayor Frizzoli : Jesus, what a NITWIT!

• Mulholland : [while Frizzoli is on the phone, Officer Mullholland appears from behind and draws his gun]  Hold it right there, your honor. Phone down, hands up.

  Mayor Frizzoli : [over the phone]  I'll call you right back.

  Lane Biddlecoff : Hey, Jeff. Long time, no see.

  Mulholland : How you doing, Lane? You want to put your hands up?

  Mayor Frizzoli : Oh, put the thing away. Look, you are making a very big mistake, Mulholland.

  Mulholland : [takes out his handcuffs to arrest Rizzoli]  I'm making Captain. That's what I'm making.

• Mayor Frizzoli : [enters Anna-Marie's kitchen]  Anna-Marie!

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : What is it, now?

  Mayor Frizzoli : Why didn't you tell me he was married?

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : He's not.

  Mayor Frizzoli : Don't give me that. His wife is here. She was at the funeral!

  Lane Biddlecoff : [enters the kitchen]  Hi, Uncle Mario!

  [Anna-Marie gets up from the table and slaps Lane hard across the right side of his face] 

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : Why didn't you tell me you were married?

  Lane Biddlecoff : I'm not!

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : [slaps him on the left side of the face]  Don't you lie to me. Your wife was at your funeral.

  Lane Biddlecoff : What's her name?

  Anna-Marie Biddlecoff : Well, how should I know? YOU tell me!

  Lane Biddlecoff : [after brainstorming an idea]  I could have been drunk or something. Maybe I took a look at her. Where is she?

  Mayor Frizzoli : No, no, no, you stay right here! She's leaving tomorrow morning. YOU'RE leaving tomorrow afternoon. Count on it!

  [Anna-Marie turns to Lane, and, anticipating another slap, fearfully covers his face]
