mudskipper Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Clue:-- A newspaper prints that the daughter and heiress of a rich man chases after married men. Now the publisher is worried that she will sue the paper for two million dollars so he sends one of his reporter, who is also sort of a playboy, to romance the girl...

cmvgor Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thanks, Eve. I'll try one, starting with a quote clue: Close paraphraise "You were in Viet Nam, right? Well, this is just like with the girls in Saigon. -- You know, 'Sucky-fu*ky, five bucks'? Well, it's the same here. -- what she does,and what she gets paid for it. But she has to say it, both parts.. "She says sucky-fu*ky, and she says five bucks. Then we can make a case." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The quote is part of a young police officer's introduction to Vice Squad work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 This film is to front-line police work as *M*A*S*H* is to front-line medicine in combat. It involves people and their stressful work, and the ways they cope with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 > {quote:title=cmvgor wrote:}{quote} > 1070s. Color. 'Police procedural' with a mean streak. bad proof-reading. 1970s meant. Tension in an apartment complex. Black tenants vs Hispanic tenants over who is hogging the community clotheslines. A brash, badge-heavy patrolman blusters in, insults both sides, and precipitates a riot in which the cops are the ones who get pounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's the same here. -- what she does,and what she gets paid for it. But she has to say it, both parts.. "She says sucky-fu*ky, and she says five bucks. Then we can make a case." Finally! I was waiting to get past 100 Views. The Vice Squad newbie, on his first night of trolling for wrongdoers, is approcached in a bar by one of the working girls. She gets him outside to his car. To move things along, the woman does give him the two elements of the crime. Relieved, he happily raps out his Cliffs Notes mantra, "Sucky-fu*ky, five bucks!" and produces his badge. The hooker then goes into a tearful, moaning lament, including mention of the fact that she just got out (of jail) and it ain't her turn to go back yet. Then she gets quiet and whispers "Rape!" Then she repeats it over and over, building up to a scream. Lights go on, calls go out from the homes nearby. She makes it out of there, and the bewildered newbie stands stunned while patrol cars from two different precincts come roaring to the site. This case doesn't get made.

cmvgor Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Officers go to an apartment in response to neighbors' complaints. They find a dominitrix with a pretty elaborite setup plying her trade. Her customer has _no_ complaint, so it's a minor action. Later, one of the officers discovers that his partner has become one of the lady's customers.

Just as M*A*S*H personal often go across the road to Rosie's to party and wind down. These cops get together for some pretty wild parties occasionally. Their code name for this is "chior practice".
