See George Dzundza? The cop at the end of the bar? That short, stumpy guy planted on the stool next to the handsome, lady-killing detective? He's two weeks from retiring. Yep, all that hard work is finally paying off, with a gold watch and a handshake and a big sloppy kiss goodbye.

Look -- he's telling his lady-killing partner to stay away from that foxy woman. He's got a bad feeling about that one. Hell, he's got a bad feeling about this whole damn case. Besides which, he's too old for this shit. And he's just two weeks from retirement. Did we mention that?

Which is exactly why he never should have gone into that warehouse. He should have known just to stay in the car. Call for backup and wait it out. Or better yet, fritter away his last two weeks pushing paper at some cushy desk job.

But his partner's in that warehouse, dammit! Or at least Dzundza thinks he is. He doesn't know it's all a trap -- a set-up! Damn you, foxy lady!

Well, he'll know soon enough, once he walks into the warehouse and finds it strangely empty and says, "[Lady-killing partner]? You in here?" and then notices the little red light on the little box on the wall. The one with the wires curling out of it.

And then the little red light turns green.

Adieu, George Dzundza. We won't miss you too much, though, because we know you'll turn up again soon, whenever and wherever a rumpled, world-weary, blue-collar sidekick is required. Much as you did in Basic Instinct, No Way Out, the first season of Law & Order, during your memorable turn as Chief of the Boat in Crimson Tide, or, this week, in National Lampoon's Adam and Eve.

Actually, we're going to skip that Adam and Eve movie, and just rewatch the L&O Season 1 DVD. You were awesome in that.
