In the second part, police officer #663 gets closer and closer to Faye, a counter-person at the local fast food joint Midnight Express.
There have been some big changes this month over at the home of The Criterion Collection, the prestige DVD company that's been every film buff's best friend since the days of Laserdiscs.
