FALLING (61) 04/08/2002 9:00p
Bosco has a breakdown in Yokas' arms. The new, human Bosco is just as good as the old one. Just watch it. Seriously.
{Bosco and Sully are working together and Sully is driving}
Bosco: I feel like I’m riding a lawnmower.
Sully: Wanna walk?
Bosco: It’d be faster.
{Bosco and Sully are working together}
Sully: Just settle whatever beef it is you got with Yokas, will you? As soon as Davis can walk unassisted you’re out of here.
Bosco: I got no beef with Faith…Why, she say something to you?
Sully: What is this, junior high school?
{Kylie is crying}
Davis: …Get up!
Carlos: {waking up} Kylie?
Davis: No, some other baby---got in here.
{about Kylie}
Carlos: You need your formula, huh?
Davis: I’m gonna tell you what she needs. She needs her own apartment, man.
{to Kylie in a baby-voice}
Carlos: That’s a mean old Uncle Ty. He got shot in his Mr. Wiggles.
{Gusler is helping Yokas review for the sergeant’s test}
Gusler: True or false, "A sergeant cannot occupy a seat in public conveyance?"
Yokas: It’s true.
Gusler: What’s public conveyance?
Yokas: Political office. So was I right?
Gusler: Why doesn’t it just say that then?
Yokas: I don’t know, Steve. I’m a little preoccupied with taking the sergeant’s test. So was I right or wrong?
Gusler: What was your answer again?
{Bosco is at the hospital talking to the doctor after the bank bag explodes in his face and he has a panic attack}
Bosco: Okay, I’ll try and steer clear of any exploding bags. That’s all it was, exploding bag. All right?
{Yokas offers to give Bosco a ride}
Bosco: Lighten up, Mommy. I’ll ride with Sul.
Yokas: Okay, nevermind.
Sully: "Mommy?" How do you put up with that?
Yokas: Oh, it’s an acquired taste.
{at Roll Call}
Swersky: …In turn the bank promised a generous donation to the PBA widow’s and children’s fund, in Bosco’s name. Not to mention they offered to chip in for his new pace maker.
{Bosco is on crossing guard duty}
Girl: I’m gonna be a policeman someday.
Bosco: Yeah? Good for you.
Bosco {to the next kid}: What are you looking at?
Boy: I didn’t know men do this.
Bosco: I’m sorry?
Boy: I didn’t know men do this.
Bosco {blows the whistle loudly}: Sully! That’s it!
Sully {who is sitting in the car – to himself}: What now?
{Bosco has gone to see a shrink and gets kicked out}
Bosco: I’m not coming back.
Shrink: You’re not invited.
{Taylor and Davis are watching Kylie}
Taylor: Look at her, she’s so beautiful.
Davis: Yeah, she’s real cute.
Taylor: Who would have thought---the spawn of Carlos.
{to Davis about why he thinks he could keep Kylie}
Carlos: Have you seen what passes for parents out there, huh? Would I be any worse?
{he’s feeding Kylie}
Davis: You haven’t lived until you’ve had some of these strained…apricots. Hmm? Hmm? It looks good. The ducky likes it. Uncle Ty likes it.
{Bosco shows up at Yokas’ apartment in the middle of the night and begins to talk about 9/11}
Bosco: I got down there right when the second tower was being hit---
Yokas: What?
Bosco: ---and they were already jumping from the North Tower. People falling, you know? And I’m watching them, all the way down. There was nothing that I could do.
Yokas: There was nothing that any of us could do.
Bosco: They were just falling. But so hard and so fast and then, it seemed like it took forever, ten seconds, 15, I don’t really know. I saw a couple people holding hands. Faith, I saw women holding their dresses down. And that sound, that thump. And I’m just standing there. I’m just standing there doing nothing. I pointed a few people this way and that way, but…I was frozen. It was like I was frozen. I was numb. I couldn’t believe it. And then, and then there was this rumble. It was like nothing I ever heard before. This huge wave of sound. So I ran. I ran away, Faith.
Yokas: Bosco, the tower was coming down.
Bosco: I just---I ran. I kept running. I remember I just kept running. I kept running. And that, that, that, that cloud came. And I couldn’t see a thing. I could see nothin’. It was just pitch black. But I was still running. {Bosco starts crying} I couldn’t breathe. I thought that was it. I must have run right into a building ‘cause that’s when I finally stopped running.
Yokas: Everybody ran.
Bosco: I didn’t go back.
Yokas: Yes you did.
Bosco: I sat on the street and I just, I couldn’t, I couldn’t, I could not go back.
Yokas: Bosco, I saw you there.
Bosco: I sat there. I was…I was afraid.
Yokas: Bosco, I saw you there. You were helping people.
Bosco: No, later, you saw me later. ‘Cause I sat there. And it must have been for like---it just must’ve been for an hour. I was there sitting, for an hour. I don’t know how long. I could have been there for two hours.
Yokas: Bosco, you were probably in shock.
Bosco {starts crying harder}: Faith, I ran. God help me, I ran…
Yokas {softly}: Bosco…
