it to the judge,
all right?
You have the right
to remain silent.
If you choose to speak, anything
you say may be held against you.
- You have a right to a lawyer.
- That's a $900 shotgun!
Do we need the cuffs
for you?
I don't see where you get
off destroying that shotgun.
Look, mister, there are only 2,000
bald eagles left in North America,
thanks to
an endless supply...
of obscene assholes
like you!
Now...
here's how it's gonna be.
I let you go down the mountain
on your own recognizance.
You report to the ranger station at
Fort creek, talk to captain clark.
He, II have your names. Have you
got that so far? aptain lark.
Oh, one other thing.
If you don't show up there in three
days, you'll be hearing from the F.B.I.
Okay?
This was three years ago.
For some reason, Reginald and claire
abandoned their nest on cougar Ridge...
and they began to build
another nest here,
where Wind River bends at-
what- BridgerJunction, I guess.
Don't do that, please.
I have nice breath. I'm a
nonsmoker. I gave it up for you.
Look, I mean it!
Okay. Okay.
Whatever you say.
Def
nitely frigid.

I've been forced to give up smoking
and sex in the same lifetime.
Brief moment of panic
in the john today.
I couldn't remember the name of
a single store on Michigan Avenue.
Where, d you learn your
shorthand? Tokyo? Hi!
Hi. I've been reading shorthand
for 15 years, but never like this.
It's my own patent. I
invented it. an you read it?
Or doesn't it matter since it's
only going into a newspaper?
Shall I leave now
and fall into a ravine...
or eat the pages
and choke to death?
I've got a better idea.
Why don't you do a story on me? Pardon?
Marshall Field, Lord &
Taylor, Bonwit Teller,
Stanley Korshak, Saudi
Airways, the Water Tower,
Tiffany's, Saks.
And that, Mr. souchak,
was my moment of truth.
so before I even got back to Boston,
i knew that was going to be my life.
Boston, by the way, is
B-O-S-T-O-N. Thank you.
I decided even before I left
Gambia- That's G-A-M-B-l-A.
I know how to spell Gambia. Sorry.
Why ornithology though?
Why a profession-
I like the uniform.
Pardon?
No, now ask me, didn't my mother prefer me
to settle down, meet some nice accountant?
esus.
Attractive Boston housewife and mother,
Evelyn Porter, 41, stated categorically-
Why are you being such a
hard-ass? What? Not good?
Not gossipy enough? All
right. You win, I lose.
People like talking
about themselves.
They're fascinated
with themselves.
Some people are fascinated
with other people.
That's why they ask them questions. Really?
Really.
Okay.
Right. so you dropped out of
college, you, re bumming around hicago.
Then what?
Since it was the only thing I was good at,
I f gured I might as well get paid for it.
So I became a reporter...
and invented
Souchak shorthand.
Didn't your mother want you to meet
some nice accountant and settle down?
Maybe reporters f nd
other people interesting...
because they're so
goddamn boring themselves.
Souchak, maybe people f nd eagles
interesting for the same reason.
Everybody I know
calls me Souchak.
My name's Ernie. Start
a trend. call me Ernie.
I don't think I could
call you Ernie. Too fancy?
Ernie.
Ernie.
Ernie. Ernie.
Ernie.
I asked you not to do that.
christ, what is it with you?
I don't believe this. You, re
angry. Good God, what an ego.
Forget it. I won't come anywhere
near you. Fine. Thank you.
I need this like I need
mountains and eagles.
Souchak?
What?
This has nothing to do
with what happened tonight.
What hasn't?
What I'm about to say.
What are you
about to say?
You can't come with me
tomorrow.
Fine.
Good. i, m glad
you understand.
Why not?
Some things I do here
I have to do on my own.
esus.
Frigid.
Aah! Son of a-
Hi.
Hello there.
Nice day?
Great. You?
Okay.
What happened
to your thumb?
I cut myself shaving.
Is it all right?
It'll be f
