06x08 - Captain Hook

Post by bunniefuu »

What is this? A convention?

Henry.

Henry, give me this paper.

Give me the paper, huh?

Henry?

Pardon me.

Sorry to bother you.

Henry has got to be the
laziest dog that ever lived.

Forget Henry,
look at the job of this.

I mean, come on, Roy. Have you
ever seen a two-year-old trash can

that looked as shiny as that?

You missed a spot. Where?

I don't know where,
but you'll find it.

You know, that's the thing, Roy.

Every time I finish a shift
with Captain Hochrader,

I have this
reoccurring nightmare.

There I am with this
giant pad of steel wool,

standing in front of a
wall with a spot on it.

And there's the old
Captain Hook behind me,

and he's saying to me in that low,
slow voice you might hear in a dream,

"Aye, Kelly! Rub!
Rub, Kelly! Rub, Kelly!"

You better talk soft,
'cause he's gonna hear you.

I don't care if he hears me.

It's about time he knows
how I feel about him.

And then, there's this. He goes,

"I know you boys don't
appreciate what I'm doing here,"

"but it'll make
better men out of you."

Come on, Roy. What do... Hey!

Roy, no! Roy!

This... I just
cleaned this, Roy.

Oh. Hi, Cap.

Here. Is that what you wanted?

Almost.

Cap, I finished the
bathroom and got the kitchen.

Cap, I got that trash can so
shiny you could see yourself in it.

I'll remember that, Kelly,
the next time I need a mirror.

[sums]

I thought you finished
that before lunch.

I did.

But, uh, Cap didn't think it was
good enough, so I'm doing it again.

I know you men don't appreciate
what I'm doing for you, but...

But it's gonna make better
men out of us. Right, Cap?

That's right, Kelly,
but that's not what I was going to say.

Sorry, Cap-

What I was going to say is that this is the
last time you'll have to put up with me.

How's that, Cap?

[SIGHS] I'm retiring, Gage.

BOTH: Retiring?

Retiring?

[STAMMERS] Aren't you a
little too young to be retiring, Cap?

I don't have to retire
for another three years,

but I've put in 26 years,
and that's enough for an early retirement.

[MUMBLES]

I guess 26 years is enough.

Well, that's great, Cap.

I mean it's... Well,
you know, it's great for you.

It's great for you, Cap. Yeah,
it's... All the free time

and everything.
It's great. It's great.

[SIGHS] Well,
let's get back to work.

We've got that knot-tying
drill in 11 minutes.

[WHISPERING] He's retiring.

[STIFLES LAUGH]

[WHISPERING] He's retiring.

ROY: Hey, Vince.

I don't know.
I just got here myself.

Witnesses say he just
dropped in his tracks.

JOHNNY: Really?

Okay, people, you wanna move back
behind the van so the paramedics can work?

Come on. Move back.

What's the problem?

I don't know. Those people
said he just dropped in his tracks.

How do you get this thing off?

Huh, what's that?
Find a zipper here.

Wait a minute. Here's a
chain. It must be the zipper.

RECORDED MALE VOICE:

Not the zipper.


Why don't we turn him over?

All right.

Find the zipper. There
must be a zipper in here.

Okay, here we go.

Yeah, here we go.

We have a twitching
here in both arms.

Yeah, the same thing

It's kind of jammed

This ain't no man.

[SIRENS WAILING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:


toxic chemicals are stored

I got a pulse of 130 on her.

All right. Let me get
her respiration.

Okay.

Got some heavy spasms
in these arms.

Yeah, same thing over here.

Okay. Wait a minute. Let
me get this arm out here.

Yeah, I better lift her up here.

Okay. Okay, she's okay.

All right.

Got her? Okay, wait, wait, now.

ROY: Okay.

JOHNNY: Okay. Lower her.

Okay. Put her down there.

Vince, we're gonna
need some ice.

Get some cubes or
something, all right?

Yeah, I'll see what I can find.

What'd you get on
respiration? Thirty-five.

Did you get a pulse on her?

Yeah, I got a pulse of 130.

Eyes'? Uh, not yet.

Thirty-five respiration, right?

Yeah.

Okay. Getting the eyes now?

Yeah.

Okay.

Rampart, this is Squad 51.

Go ahead, 51. This is Rampart.

Rampart, we have a female victim,
age in early twenties.


She's a victim of heat stroke due to
poor ventilation in a fur animal costume.


Her skin is dry.

She's suffering from
muscle spasms in both arms.

Stand by for vitals.

Uh, Rampart,
the pupils are dilated and reactive.

The pulse is 130,
respirations are 35. Stand by for BP.



Uh, Rampart, the BP
is 90 over 50.


of ice at your location?

That's affirmative, Rampart, We
have an officer getting the ice right now.



with a burn pack

and immediately pack ice
around all the extremities.

Start two IVs, one with normal
saline running at 50 drops a minute,

one D5W running at 50 drops a
minute. And transport immediately.



Did you get all that?

Uh, yeah. We don't have a nasal
cannula in there. Do we have one in here?

ROY: Both IVs are established.

The manager says
there's more if you need it.

Okay, good. Thanks,
man. All right, man.

All righty.

Wanna get this stuff inside the ambulance,
John.

All right.

JOHNNY: Oh,
Hal? We're not gonna use this blanket.

We're gonna try to keep
her temperature down.

All right.

Here,
you wanna throw this stuff on her? Yeah.

Do you think she's
gonna be all right?

I think she's gonna be okay if we
can just keep her temperature down.

Hey,
thanks for the ice. Appreciate it.

Glad I could help.

[SIREN WAILING]

[SIREN WAILING]

Roy, we'll take her to room 2.

Okay. She has a 104 axillary.

JOE: Okay.

KELLY: I got it.

Five milligrams diazepam, IV.

Take it easy.
You'll be just fine.

Diazepam's in.

Julie, check to see
if the ice bath's ready.

Okay, let's get her
on the table.

What'd you say she was wearing?

A fur polar bear suit
with a plastic face on.

The ice bath is ready, Doctor.

Yeah, maybe I should just
hook this up in there, huh?

Okay,
now let's get her in there.

How is she?
Temperature's down to 101.

Early says she's gonna
make it all right.

You have everything?

Uh,
no. I need two number 20s and an arm board.

All right.

Hey, what do you think
about Hochrader retiring?

[CHUCKLES] Well,
I just couldn't believe it.

I'd like to celebrate
starting right now.

Talking about celebration,
can you imagine the guys on C shift?

We only get him six or
seven times out of the year.

They have to work
with him every shift.

Yeah, you mean work for him.

You know, I don't mind the captain
or anybody else telling me what to do

if there's some point to it.

But I really don't think
we can learn anything

by some guy making
us polish a door 10 times

except to hate doing it.

[CHUCKLES]

Would you like some coffee?

Yeah, okay.

You know, thinking about
Hochrader really makes me wonder.

Wonder what?

[SIGHS] I don't know.
If I ever get his age,

am I gonna be the same way?

Jeez. I hope not. You're
hard enough to live with now.

Hi,
Dix. Hi. Who's hard to live with?

Oh, we were just talking
about one of the captains.

Yep,
Captain Hochrader. Captain Hook.

Oh, yeah. A paramedic was
talking about him yesterday.

Isn't he retiring?

Yeah, he just told us
about it this afternoon.

Yeah. Best news the
department's heard in 26 years.

Well, are you guys going to throw
one of your famous parties for him?

They might,
but I won't be there.

We couldn't get 10 guys together
in the same party with Hochrader,

even if it is free.

Oh, come on. He isn't that bad.

He's worse! I mean,
you just can't imagine

till you're working and have
him looking over your shoulder.

Yeah, then he comes and clamps
that claw of his into your back

and says, "Well, it doesn't look like
you're working hard enough, DeSoto."

You know, that sounds like a
nursing supervisor I once had.

Vera lnglethorpe.

[CHUCKLES]

Boy, was she a witch.

Yeah, I guess they got one of
those in every department, huh?

Yeah. Well,
you got everything? You all set?

Vera lnglethorpe?
[LAUGHING] Yeah.

I guess he is. We'll
see you later. Okay.

Maybe we missed the drill.

Don't count on it.

Hi, Doc. Hi. How you doing?

Pretty good.

Mike needs you in 3.
[IN SURPRISE] Huh?

I'm sorry. Did I startle you?

No. No. No, it's nothing.

I was just thinking
about Miss lnglethorpe.

Uh, Room 3, huh?

Yeah, 3. Okay.

Miss lnglethorpe?

What? You've got
to be kidding me!

You want some coffee?

A party for Hochrader? I mean,
really, a party for Hochrader?

[SCOFFS] Yeah,
don't mind if I do.

There's not a guy in the
department would show up!

Yeah, even Henry
doesn't like him.

Henry doesn't like
anybody. Look, guys,

the thing is, the party isn't
really for Hochrader at all.

Well, you just said that
the party was for Hochrader.

Which is it? Is the
party for Hochrader?

Why don't you let him
tell the story?

All right, go ahead.
Tell the story.

[CHUCKLES] But, I mean,
he's acting a little crazy. He says...

Look,
Gage! You wanna know or not?

All right, fine, tell me. All right,
is the party for Hochrader?

Party isn't really
for Hochrader at all.

Wait a minute, now.
You just said...

Why don't you just
let him tell the story?

CHET: Gage! All right.
Fine. Tell me the story.

All right. Now,
the guys in C shift wanna have a party

to celebrate
Hochrader's retirement.

Now, see? It's for us!

It's for any guy
that ever worked with him.

I mean,
we're gonna celebrate his retirement.

We're gonna celebrate. Not him.

Boy, that's really tacky.

Tacky?

Tacky? That's wonderful, Chet!

Of course it is.

It's going to be the best bash
we ever had in this department.

I mean, every guy that's ever done
one shift with him wants to celebrate.

Wait a minute here,
Kelly. Hold the phone.

Do you mean to tell me that C
shift is going to deceive their captain

into believing they're giving
him a real retirement party?

But, Cap,
he'll never know the difference.

I mean,
we're gonna have presents and speeches

and we're gonna be the only
ones who knows the difference.

That is a dirty trick.

A shift with Hochrader's
a dirty trick.

Right on, Marco.

Look, Cap,
don't you get a little irritated

when old Hochrader
leaves you notes

and tells you to
clean up your desk?

Yeah, but he's still
a captain, Gage.

[SCOFFS] Yeah, well,
you would say that.

Well... I mean, you know? Uh... Of course,
you're the captain.

Of course you're gonna say that.

DISPATCHER:
Squad 51, man injured.


Ken's Auto Body. 1279 South McCadden
Place. 1279 South McCadden Place.


Cross street, Hooper.
Time out, 0836.


Squad 51, KMG 365.

[SIREN WAILING]

All right, what happened?

I think his arm's broken.
He's hurting pretty bad.

One of my mechanics was
working on his friend's car,

when bang, a tire exploded
and threw the kid across the room.

Mike knows better than to let anybody
stay in the shop when he's working.

Looks like he's got
a broken arm.

It wasn't your fault, Mike.

Take it easy, Terry. It's okay.

Hey, can you let me
in there, please?

Okay. Yeah.

It wasn't his fault,
Mr. Carter. He told me to stay outside.

That's okay.

What's your name?

Terry Ford.

Are you over 18?

Yeah, about 20.

Can you tell me where you hurt?

Yeah. My arm and my shoulder.

All right, your arm
and your shoulder?

How about your neck here?
Does it hurt?

No. That's all right.

Okay, how about your spine?
Your back, back here.

No, that's okay.

All right,
how'd you do that to your lip?

I bit it.

You bit it? Okay.

Now, let me just check you
out. This may hurt a little bit

but I've got to find out, okay?

[INHALES SHARPLY]
That hurts, huh?

Yeah. All right.

How about down here?

[GRUNTS] This too, huh?

Yeah. Okay. How about
your ribs? They hurt? Huh?

[GRUNTS]

Right here? No, no.

All right. Looks like we've
got a fractured clavicle,

fractured humerus and
possible fractured ribs.

[GROANS]

Mike? Yeah, Terry. I'm here.

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

Look, don't worry about it. It's
okay. Just do what they tell you.

I'm always doing something
dumb to cause trouble.

All right, Terry,
just relax. You're gonna be okay.

Hey, do you think maybe
you could give me some room?

Now,
how about down here? Does this hurt?

No. No?

Terry, just relax now, okay?

You're gonna be all
right. Just relax. Relax.

JOHNNY: It's just up
on the other side here.

[BEEPING]

JOHNNY ON RADIO: Rampart,
this is Squad 51. How do you read me?


Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have a male,


He was involved with an
exploding tire in an auto body shop.


Looks like he's got a broken
right clavicle, a right humerus


and probable fractured ribs,
all on the right side.


He's diaphoretic and he's
in considerable pain.

It looks like he was thrown across
the garage from the expl*si*n.

But he doesn't seem
to have any head injury.

Okay, you wanna
breathe in for me now?

[SHALLOW BREATHING]

ROY: That's it.


Give him five milligrams MS IV,

immobilize the fractures and
transport as soon as possible.



Okay, Terry, we're going to
give you an IV here, all right,

with a little bit of morphine.
That should ease...

No, no! Don't!

Hey, hey, come on,
settle down. Come on, settle down.

No, no dope!

All right,
just settle down. All right. Take it easy.

Okay! All right!

No, no dope. No dr*gs!

Hey, hey, hey. Just
settle down. Just relax.

TERRY: No dope!

Hey, come on! Come on!
Settle down!

Come on. Take it easy.
Take it easy, will you?

No dope! I don't want any dope!

All right. We said we're not gonna do it,
okay?

You just settle down.

Good? Yeah.

Does he have a drug problem?

I don't know. I've only
known him a couple of months.

Never seen him taking anything.

All right. All right,
now just settle down, will you?

Okay, now all I'm gonna
do is just cut your sleeve here

to get a splint
on you, all right?

How long has it been?

About a year.

Hey, look,
I don't want anything.

Terry, if you've been able
to stay clean for a year,

now one sh*t is not
gonna make a big...

Hey.

JOHNNY: Rampart,
this is Squad 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, our patient has had
a past history of drug problem.


He refuses any kind
of pain medication.


All right, 51, if that's his decision,
you'll have to respect it.



Okay, we'll start an IV on
you without morphine, all right?

Okay.

That was something. "One sh*t
wouldn't make any difference."

Just what a drug addict
needs to hear, right?

He's a former drug addict.

Yeah,
you can say that again. Yeah, right.

It's a wonder how a kid like
that ever got mixed up with dr*gs

in the first place.
Come on, Mike.

We got a lot of
cleaning up to do.

And then we've got to get
another tire for your friend's car.

Yeah, right. Boy, look at this.

Let's take it in.

Sorry.

Hi, Doc.

Still awake, huh?

Yeah. You working
overtime tonight?

Yeah, something like that. Things
got a little hectic downstairs tonight.

I always thought doctors
had a real soft life.

You did,
huh? Whatever gave you that idea?

I don't know. I guess when you're
pushing brooms and washing dishes,

everyone else's life
looks soft to you.

Well, maybe this stay in the
hospital will teach you something.

[GROANS]

Are you still having
a lot of pain?

No, it mostly hurts
when I take a deep breath.

[CHUCKLES] Or when I laugh.

That's because you're putting
pressure against those broken ribs.

I know. Makes me feel dumb
to be scared of breathing.

[GROANING]

Okay, hang in there, huh?

Hey, Doc, don't give me anything,
no matter what.

Terry, I can't give you any
medication you don't want to take.

And I wouldn't give it to you
even if it wasn't the law.

[EXHALES]

Better?

Once, when I was up north,
I fell off this truck and broke my hand.

I couldn't sh**t my own stuff,

so this friend of mine,
he did it for me.

I thought he was the
greatest guy in the world.

It's funny the way you
change your mind about things.

Yeah, it is.

Look, you take it easy, huh?
Try and get some rest.

I'll look in on you
in the morning.

Hit that buzzer
if you need anything.

Hey, Doc.

It's so late I think
it's morning already.

[CHUCKLES] I know what you mean.

We were working around here...

Cap! Roy!

Hey, Roy,
did you talk to your wife about the party?

Yeah. She said it's up to me.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know. What about you?

[EXHALES] I don't know.
I'm kind of leaning toward it.

Uh-huh? The way I figure,

if they threw a party
for Hochrader,

nobody'd show up.

This way, if we have a party,

Hochrader will think
it's for him,

and all the guys
will think it's for them.

And everybody benefits.

Cap,
you don't seem to be too happy about that.

You know, the man
has put in 26 years.

I think he deserves a
little bit of consideration.

It's not easy being
a captain, you know.

You never really know
what your men think of you,

and what they're saying
when you're not around.

[CHUCKLING] Oh, Cap...

No, wait, wait, look,
if you guys go along with this party,

how do I know you won't plot
something like that for me someday?

Oh, Cap, there's a big difference
between you and Hochrader.

A world of difference.

JOHNNY: You don't have
anything to worry from us.

We like you,
Cap! We think you're a nice guy!

[MUTTERING] For a captain.

[JOHNNY CHUCKLING]

Why don't you take her,

Mama!

Uh... Ma'am?

Johnny?

[CONTINUES WAILING]

[MAN GROANING]
Yes... Uh, yes, sir.

Sir? We, uh...

Please,
please... Hello... Folks, we're...

We're from the Fire Department.

We had a report of a
possible heart att*ck here...

All right, just relax,
we'll see if we can lift you up here.

[GROANING] All right.

Where's the pain?
Is it in your chest?

Down in your stomach? Ls
the pain in your stomach?

Mama!

[GASPING] Sir,
can you tell me what's wrong with you?

Want me to set up a scope for you,
John?

No, Cap, I think he's just
hyperventilating himself.

No, he's just
hyperventilating, Cap.

Mama!

STANLEY: Ma'am? Ma'am?
Why don't you come on over here,

sit down and try to
relax or something?

Don't worry about your mama.
Captain's taking real good care of her.

[WAILING] Everything's
gonna be all right.

They're very
experienced in there,

so they're gonna
take care of them.

[GROANING]

Is there any way you can calm
her down so she can talk to him?

He wants to talk to his mother.

Well, so does she.
Keeps crying for Mama.

I'm gonna have you
breathe in this paper bag.

Try to slow your breathing down,
will you? Just try to slow it down.

All right.

Mama! Your mama
here? Your mama...

[WAILING] Mama! I don't
think she's the one to ask.

Johnny,
maybe I'll go check the other room,

there might be another victim.

Do you have a mama here?

Is your mama here in the house?

Okay, look, uh...

MAN: [GROANING] Oh, Mama!

I'm gonna go and check and see
is there's another victim back there.

MAN: [GROANING] Mama!

Ma'am?

Ma'am, can you hear me?

[GASPING] Help! Police!
Help, somebody!

Ma'am, I'm a paramedic.

Help.

I'm a paramedic. I'm here
to help you. That's my job.

Huh? What do you want?

Oh, I'm Roy DeSoto.

I'm a paramedic with the Los
Angeles County Fire Department.

We had a report there
was a heart att*ck here.

Do you know anything about that?

Heart att*ck? Yes, ma'am.

Oh, no, they didn't do that!

They, uh... They didn't do what?

They thought
I had a heart att*ck?

[SNORTS]

Well, I just came in
from hanging out the wash,

and I told Hubert, my grandson,
that I was out of breath

and wanted to lie down.
I just fell asleep.

Then you're not sick,
or you don't feel any pain or anything?

Do I look sick, young man?

[STAMMERING] No,
ma'am. You look fine. You're healthier

than a lot of the people I've seen
out there for the last few minutes.

Mmm.

Well, I guess I'll go out and check
on the crew and see how they're doing.

Well, tell them I'll be
right in and not to worry.

Yes, ma'am.
Mama will take care of them.

Yes, ma'am. I'm sure you will.

Well, how are Mama and her
three lovely children?

[CHUCKLING] They're
coming along okay.

Yeah, we had to take
Hubert to the hospital.

They think he may have an ulcer.

Yeah, but Mama's
as strong as a horse.

At least it wasn't
a total waste of time.

No. We got to meet Mama.

[TYPEWRITER CLACKING]

Hey, John? Roy?

What?

Come in here a minute, will you?

See you. Yep.

What?

I just want you to read
a speech I just wrote.

Speech? What for?

The guys in C shift wanted me to
write a little something for Hochrader.

A speech?

Oh, man, they're really
getting vicious. Read that.

Well, I mean, I'm gonna put
a little feeling in it.

Saturday night,
it will be different.

JOHNNY: You can't read that!

Well, I'm going to.
What's wrong with it?

Here, listen to this, Roy.

"You have inspired us with
your patience and good humor."

[CHUCKLING] "Good humor."
Can you believe that?

"Your wisdom and compassion have
set a standard that none will ever equal."

"A
who have known you
will miss you..."

Well, that's what they always
say at retirement parties.

Yeah, but they always mean it!

You can't stand the guy!
Nobody can!

Well, that's the whole point,
John. What do you think, Roy?

"Polishing the clouds
until the silver lining..."

This is a little
thick, isn't it?

Well,
that's the whole point of the bash,

is to make Hochrader
think it's real.

You'll never succeed.
You'll blow it.

Because you'll start cracking
up right in the middle of it.

No. I already
solved that problem.

As soon as I start to laugh, I'm just
gonna think of an incident with Hochrader.

You know, like,
I finish the job,

and he comes up and says,
"That job can be done better."

Just think of that,
I'll never laugh. I've got it made!

[ALARM SOUNDING]

Station 51, Engine 45, Engine 19,
Battalion 14, aircraft down.

Ocean view Road,
three miles north of Corral Canyon.


Police units are responding. Time out,


Station 51, KMG 365.

[SIRENS WAILING]

SERGEANT: That's one
of our traffic helicopters.

There's no sign of the pilot.

STANLEY: What do we got?
COP: We got two men down there.

Okay, we need a couple of lifelines,
a Stokes, roof ladder...

ROY: Johnny, they got two men down there.
Guess we'd better go with the Stokes, huh?

Frank, just take it easy now.

They'll be down
to get you in a minute.

STANLEY: LA, Engine 51,
we have a police traffic helicopter down,



Continue other units,
respond an ambulance.

I'll send Chet and Marco down
as soon as 45's gets here.

All right. You may
have to secure the wreck

before you can get
the pilot out.

Yeah, if we get to it in time.

We're all set here!

[SIREN APPROACHING]

Get your lifebelts on
and get going.

ROY: How you doing?

I'm fine,
but my partner's in bad shape.

He's unconscious.
I couldn't get him out.

He's hung up on the controls.

I shut the doors
to keep the water out.

Okay, we're gonna call and
get some help for you, all right?

Hi, Cap, this is HE 51.

You're gonna have to send down
Marco and Chet with a Stokes.



Marco and Chet are on the way.

All right, help's on the way.

Okay, just forget about me.

Just get Andy. All right.

ROY: There it goes!

JOHNNY: Okay,
I'll take this side.

Roy? Yeah?

Runner's off on this side!

Let's tie it up. All right.

I've got a jammed door
over here.

Hey, Swift, how you doing?

I'm fine, I'm fine.
Andy's hurting.

Yeah?

We'll have you up shortly.

His foot's trapped
behind that pedal!

All right.

Take care. Yeah, okay.

You okay, Frank?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Well, we better send you
to the hospital anyways.

[GROANING]

Did they get Andy out yet?

They're working on it.

Better get this Stokes
ready to go back down.

Hey, Chet?

Still nothing on this door.

Tie this off on
that knob right there.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,
we've got a knot here.

Get that knot out,
then tie it up on that knob right there.

Shouldn't they wait till
the air gets down there?

No, they may not have time. The
helicopter's taking on water too fast.

Johnny, it's going!

We're gonna have to go in!

[GASPS] Jeez!

See anything over there?

It's going under! No!

Chet, take this line to the rock

and I'll take it back
into the water! All right.

Let's go under!

JOHNNY: Okay, come on,
let's get you to the side.

Bring him over by the rocks.

Yeah.

Watch it with this one!

JOHNNY: Let it out! Let
it out! Let it out! Let it out!

ROY: Chet, bring it more!

JOHNNY: Here comes another one!

Put a hold on him, can you?

JOHNNY: Yeah.

[SPUTTERS]

CHET: Johnny, you okay?

JOHNNY: Yeah, yeah.

Come on, come on.

Okay! Let's try to
get you in here, huh?

Sit there.
Swing yourself back in.

Watch out for the rocks!
Watch the rocks!

Pull him in!

Bring it up! Look out,
we're going towards the rocks!

Pull! Pull it! Pull!

ROY: Come on,
bring him in, let's go!

Watch the surf, now.

ROY: All right.

He's all right.

Let's get that
other leg in here!

All right,
try to slide him down. Ready?

Okay, let's try to
lift him up here.

Okay, now. Okay, go!

Okay, let's get set
to pull them up.

Michael? I'm on it. Get some line,
huh?

All right, pull it up!

Okay, Bill.

You guys okay?

Yeah, we swallowed
a little water, though.

Well, both of you go to the
hospital and get checked out.

I'll have Chet drive
the squad in for you.

Okay.

You know, I think
we better write this up

in the Fire Department journal,

'cause something like this
has never been done before.

I don't think I wanna go
through anything like this again.

Don't know why not. Looked
like a cinch from up here.

[SIREN WAILING]

[BOTH CHATTERING]

Morning, Henry. Hey, Marco.

MARCO: Hey, Chet.

Well! Chet! Roy, Johnny.

Hey, was that a party,
or was that a party?

We were just talking about it.

It's the best party I've
ever been to in my life.

It really was
kind of incredible.

C shift really
pulled that one off.

And you! You with that
speech! I couldn't believe it!

You almost had me believing it.

You know, when the band
started playing Auld Lang Syne,

my wife started to cry.

[LAUGHING] Was that incredible?

That's how emotional it all was.

Well, that just goes to show
you what a bunch of guys can do

if they put their minds to it.

Right.

Hello, guys.

Ah, good morning,
DeSoto, Gage, Kelly.

Captain.

What are you doing here?

Captain Stanley's attending a fire prevention
conference up in Santa Barbara today.

[STAMMERING] Yes, sir, I know that,
but I mean, what are you...

See, we... We thought you...

Retired? Yes, well so did I.

Until that party Saturday night.

You boys just can't imagine what it
was like going on working year after year,

feeling I wasn't
understood and appreciated,

and that the people I was
working with actually hated me.

That's the real reason
I'd decided to retire early.

But Saturday night,

when those people came out to
pay tribute to me, to honor me...

And when I heard those speeches

and realized what you men
really thought of me,

well,
I just couldn't let you down and walk out.

I have three years to go
before I have to retire.

I promise you I'm going to
work every minute of every one

just the way I have in the past.

All right men,
let's get back to work.

Right?

Right. Right.
