Truck 116, Truck 98, Truck 85.

Apartment fire,

Cross street, Merrimac Avenue.

[HORN BLARING]

Marco, inch-and-a-half line.
Front stairs.

Engine 17, you can pump to us

from the hydrant at the intersection
of Highlander and Merrimac.


Truck 116, why don't you come
in the back and open the roof?


John, follow him in, huh?
Roy, check the rear.

Uh,
can I talk to you a sec? All right.

We have got to get the rest of our
instruments and stuff out of there.

Yeah, but we gotta
put the fire out

before we can get
anything else out, all right?

Look, we'll do the best we can.

It's okay, you're gonna be all
right. Forget that music, come on.

It's okay. You're
gonna be all right.

Oh, there we are.

Johnny, O2 and blankets.

[WOMAN COUGHING]

Okay, right down here.

Hey, we still have a lot
of stuff up there.

Hang on to that, will you?

He's busy.

[MAN CHATTERING ON RADIO]

DISPATCHER: Call Chief
Engineer as soon as possible.


You can take off. If I need you,
I'll holler. Okay.

Rampart Base, this is Rescue 51.

MAN: “patient is comatose.

Some signs of internal bleeding. Stand by,
Rampart.


ROY: Rampart Base,
this is Rescue 51.


I'll get it.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have
a female patient


suffering from smoke inhalation

and in an advanced
state of pregnancy.


We have her on 02 and are
checking vital signs. Stand by.




Looks like it's gonna be
one of those nights, Kel.

Aren't they all?

[GRUNTING]

Johnny, you all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay.

Rampart Base, this is Rescue 51.

The patient's responding
okay to the O2.

BP is 110 over 70.

Pulse rate is 110,
respiration is 20.

There's no contractions.

With her advanced stage
of pregnancy,

we'll stay with you all the way
until the ambulance arrives.



Is she alert and orientated?

That's affirmative, Rampart.


and let me know

if there's any change
in her condition.

10-4.

Dix, I think we better set up just
in case there is any complication.

Well, 3's opened up.
We can set up in there.

Good.

Honey, you feeling all right?

It's happening again.

What's wrong?

It's nothing. Nothing, man.

She's just upset, that's all.

You said it was
only my imagination.

That it's all in my mind.

It is. It is. This fire has
nothing to do with that.

I guess you just can't
run away from it.

Please don't start up again.
I just can't take it anymore.

It's no good, Rab. We're being punished,
can't you see?

Stop it. Stop it.

It's crazy. You're just upset.

Let's not talk about it
anymore, okay?

Get away from me, Rab.

Get away.

Try to just be still.

Try to just think
about me and the baby.

I am, Rab. I am.

There should be an
ambulance here any minute now.

She'll be okay, man. She's
just got to get her head straight.

[SIRENS WAILING]

We gotta put this back on.

Now we're in business.

[GASPING]

Rampart Base, this is Rescue 51.

Uterine contractions are
beginning in the patient.

KELLY:


Has she ever had a child before?

That's affirmative, Rampart. The ambulance
is here. We're preparing to transport.

The doctor said it wasn't
due for at least two weeks.

Well, I guess the doctor
forgot to tell your baby that.

I'm scared.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Your contractions
just began, right?

Yeah. Well, we'll take you to one
of the best hospitals in L.A. County.

Now, you just think of that
beautiful baby you're gonna have,

and let us do the rest, okay?

KELLY: 51, what is your ETA?

Please repeat vital signs,


Are there any complications?

ROY: Only emotional ones.

Well, that's normal
under the circumstances.

ROY: All right. Easy does it.

How's she doing?

Well, she just
started contractions.

She'll make it okay.

Oh, God. What's wrong?

You'd better put him in the ambulance,
too. He hurt his shoulder.

I'm all right, Chet.

You think you can drive the
squad? I can drive the squad.

Well, I'll see you guys
at the hospital.

All right.

[SIRENS WAILING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:


toxic chemicals are stored
in a tanker.


Use caution.

KELLY ON RADIO: Squad 51,
this is Rampart. Can you send me some EKG?


JOHNNY ON RADIO:


We're sending you a strip.
Vitals to follow.


Pulse is 160. The victim
is in extreme pain, Rampart.


[INTERCOM BEEPING]

This patient is in V-fib.

Rampart, we have lost the
victim's pulse. Beginning CPR.


[RAPID BEEPING]

We're defibrillating victim,
Rampart.


Rampart, we've defibrillated
victim. Decent sinus rhythm.


JOE ON RADIO: Administer 2 amps
sodium bicarb and insert an airway.


KELLY ON RADIO: Start an IV,


DIXIE: Squad 51, continue monitoring
Vitals and transport immediately.


JOHNNY ON RADIO:
We're on our way, Rampart.


Dix, you got the patients
in there?

Yeah, Treatment 3. Treatment 3.

She's doing fine.

How's she doing, Roy?

It shouldn't be too much longer.

Say, you wouldn't happen to have
an extra doctor around, would you?

Well, let's see. Dr Morton's in
the staff lounge having coffee.

Why, what seems
to be the problem?

Well, I think we have
a possible patient here.

Oh, yeah, 4 is open.

Yeah, all right.

Wait a minute. Wait... I'm fine.

I just pulled a muscle or
something in my shoulder, that's all.

Will you cut it out?
Stop being funny.

I don't want to see a doctor,
especially Morton.

Now, what's wrong with Morton?

Well, he's got a terrible bedside manner,
that's all.

Well, you're not in a bed. Yet.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Goldman,
needed in Surgery.


Dr. Goldman needed in Surgery.

Painful, right?

Well, I don't know. I suppose
it's a little painful, yeah.

Well, you've pulled
the deltoid muscle.

Bad?

We'll have to immobilize
it for a day or so.

Well, it didn't hurt that much.

What's your shift schedule like?

[STAMMERING] I don't
know. I'm off tomorrow.

On the next day.
Off the next two days.

Right.

Well, you just might
miss your next shift.

Morton, don't you think this is kind
of a big deal over just a nothing little...

Look, Gage,
a Mr. America, you're not.

I mean, you've got an average
build with an average muscle tone.

And like most Americans,
you're just a little soft and frail.

Soft? Soft.

[CHUCKLING] No. Gage,
it's nothing to be ashamed of.

But I'm not... You
don't have to apologize.

I mean, none of us really have the
time to keep in really good shape.

But you don't understand.
I'm not soft. Soft.

Do I... Am I...
Do I look soft to you?

Oh, only from the neck up.

[CHUCKLING]

I agree.

He agrees.

Why don't you go on down to
Admitting and get that over with?

Hey, Johnny, how's your arm?

Can't anybody keep
a secret around here?

Well, sure, but you're family.

And you haven't answered
my question.

It's fine. I'm telling you.
It's okay, it's all right.

Good.

Hey, Roy.

Do you know anything about that
young couple you brought in a while ago?

I mean, they're really strange.

Like how?

Well, under no circumstances
are we to notify the girl's parents.

Matter of fact,
we had a heck of a time

getting them to admit
they even had relatives.

You know, I figure they eloped,

and she's panicked about some
sort of bad luck they've been having,

like it's related somehow.

Well, you mean
like superstition?

Sounds that way to me.

Hi, Roy. Hi, Doc.

I understand your friend here won't
be of much help to you for a while.

Listen, I'm skinny
but I'm tough.

So is Chet Kelly's
fried chicken.

Oh, very funny. Your humor's in
worse shape than my shoulder.

MAN: Hey, what happened, Johnny?

I pulled a muscle.

A little out of shape, huh?

JOE: How's he doing?

He's still with us.
Let's take him to 4. Dixie.

Tell Morton our electric
shock victim's here.

He's breathing
on his own now, Doc.

Color's starting to come
back. How did it happen?

He was working on an old
TV set with a screwdriver

and got a severe electric shock.

Did you give him CPR?
Yeah, right off.

Sinus tachycardia.

Last time I checked his BP in
the ambulance, it was 110 over 60.

His cardiovascular
status is stable.

Mike, I'll do
a complete neuro exam.

You take care of those
burns on his hands. Right.

Miss John,
give me a burn tray, please.

Cinch.

Say, new,

what's with the boy's mother?

I mean,
she can't even fill out the admitting form.

She didn't drive
down here, did she?

No, no, she rode with us.

I kind of figure
she's on something.

Yeah, I guess.

Says she's on a
doctor's prescription.

I'd like a nickel for every
time I've heard that one.

Yeah.

Responding to pain.

You want to put an
endotracheal tube down him?

No, he seems to be
oxygenating pretty well on his own.

I think we can take
the airway out soon.

Well, I'll go talk to her.

Good luck. Thanks.

Mrs. Gibbs?

I didn't know he was
working on the TV.

I wouldn't have let him
if I'd known.

I haven't been well.

I had to give up my job.

Pete's all I've got

since his dad left.

It's my fault.
It's all my fault.

No. Now,
Pete's gonna be just fine.

What do you say we
get a cup of coffee?

I know I could sure use
one. How about you?

Dixie, we're going to move
him up to Intensive Care.

Oh, uh, Dr. Early,
this is Mrs. Gibbs.

Mrs. Gibbs.

I think your son has a very good
chance of complete recovery.

He's... He's gonna live?

Yes, Mrs. Gibbs,
he's going to live.

He's a strong little boy.

Okay, now, it's okay.

Hey, let's get that coffee. And
then we'll find you a place to lie down

and then you'll feel a lot better. Come on,
how's that, huh?

How are you feeling?

Much better.
Isn't he beautiful, Rab?

Isn't he the most perfect baby
you've ever seen?

April, there's something
we have to tell you.

Um...

There's a problem he's got.

Now, it can be fixed.

Dr. Brackett says there's
nothing really to worry about.

Mrs. Rawlins,
your baby was born with a cleft palate.

Now, that's a failure of the two
sides of the palate to unite properly

at an early stage
of prenatal development,

causing a split
in the roof of the mouth.

But Dr. Brackett says they can operate
when the baby's about 18 months.

Before he learns to talk.
He'll be as good as new.

There's every reason to believe
he'll be a healthy, normal child.

You'll have to learn some
special techniques for feeding him.

Mrs. Rawlins, it's a condition
that can be corrected, I assure you.

Take him away.

I beg your pardon?

[BABY CRYING] Take him away.

Honey, this is our baby.

This could happen to any baby.

Not any baby. Mine, mine.

It's deformed. It's deformed
because of what we did.

Take it out of here!

Nurse.

Take him to the nursery.

[BABY CRYING]

Honey.

You rest now,
and I'll come back and see you later, okay?

April?

I don't know what to tell you.
You'll think I'm crazy.

It's like something
out of the Dark Ages.

Well, if it'll help us to understand
your wife's mental state,

I'd like to hear about it.

I met April while our group
was playing Des Moines.

She'd come around every night.

Her parents were
super religious, super strict.

So at first, it was kind
of a defiance thing.

Then we really
started to hit it off.

She told her old man.
Oh, he hit the ceiling.

He told her he was ashamed she
was his daughter, the whole works.

She came with me anyway.

I know how guilty
they made her feel.

Like she had sinned or
something just for being in love.

Well, it happens.

Yeah, well, we did
get married, later.

But when she wrote home to tell them,
they wouldn't even answer.

And everything
started going wrong.

We got caught with grass
a couple of times.

Some of our bookings
fell through.

April started to blame herself,

figured she was being punished.

Now, the fire,

and our son deformed
has convinced her.

Rab, does she love you?

She was afraid to have our baby.

She wanted to have an abortion.

I talked her out of it.

She loved me yesterday,
before this.

Now, I don't know.

Maybe she's right.
Maybe we just can't win.

You can't win if you don't try.

So what should I do?

April needs you. Just
don't let her push you away.

DISPATCHER: Battalion 41,
call your office.


Well, how... How's
your shoulder?

It's fine.

What's with the book, John?

Nothing that would
interest you, Chet.

What is it?
A preteen sex manual?

Chet, this happens to be written by
the world's leading nutritional expert.

Dr. Morton really
got to you, didn't he?

Morton.

[SCOFFS]

Then what's with this book?

This book...

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER: Squad 51.
Man injured, g*nsh*t wound.

112, 59 Aurora Street.

Cross street, Larchmont.
Time, 0840.


STANLEY: Squad 51.


He's loaded,
so he's not feeling much pain.

We've already radioed
for an ambulance.

What happened?

We haven't got that
straightened out yet.

He bashed up some
neighbor's car on the way home.

I guess the neighbor got irate.

Anyway, he shot him. Over there.

We don't know
where the suspect is.

His house is locked up tight.
He may be in there.

We're trying to keep everyone
off the street in case he is.

Well, don't ask me what
happened. I was in the house.

There's no exit wounds.

How is he?

We can't tell yet.

Well, he's not gonna die.

I mean,
he's got too much blubber and beer in him.

And don't try to con me.

Rampart, this is Rescue 51.

We have a male,
approximately 50 years old.

ANGIE: He's 47.

We have a male, 47 years old.

His name is... Dave Harper.

His name is Dave Harper.
He has two g*nsh*t wounds.

He's bleeding from
the left lower quadrant.

Also bleeding from the right arm,
above the elbow.

Vital signs are coming up.
Hold on, Rampart.

Pulse is 120. Respiration is 26.

Pulse is 120. Respiration
is 26. Hold on for BP.

DIXIE ON RADIO.' 10-4.

BP is 100 over 60.

Rampart, BP is 100 over 60.

He appears to be
intoxicated. He's also awake.

I think you know more
than you're telling us.

There's blood by
the cars over there

and your father's
not bleeding that badly.

Look, I told you.

I don't know anything. KELLY: 51,
start an IV with Ringer's lactate.


JOHNNY: 10-4, Rampart. ANGIE:
He was just shot over by the car.

Ringer's.

A few minutes ago, you said he
was shot here on the front lawn.

Well, then, I made a mistake.

Angie, look, if there's some nut
running around here with a g*n,

we've gotta know about it.

Well, it was just between
the two of them.

Sam and my dad.

Just got into an argument. I mean,
they're always arguing.

Everybody around here
knows that.

OFFICER: Who's that?

That's Tommy Wright, Sam's son.

Where's your father, Tommy?

In the house.

The suspect's in the house!

Better proceed with caution!

He's armed and should be
considered dangerous!

He's not dangerous, he's dying.

What's the matter with him?

Garbage Gut here cut him up
with a switchblade.

Well, he got what he deserved!

He's always baiting my dad!

You're a liar, Angie.

Your old man ran into our car
and then cut up my father.

You gotta help him, mister.

He's gonna die unless
you do something for him.

I've been watching you
work on him.

Can't you do the same for my
dad? He's bleeding something awful.

I'll get it. Hey, wait a minute.

If this guy's armed,
I'm going in there with you. Okay.

You better not try and go
in there. He's pretty uptight.

Now, look, Tommy.

If your dad is in bad shape,
then I'm going to need some help with him.

Okay. Let's go. All right,
let's go. Right. Do you have a phone?

Yeah.

I'll get Rampart on
the landline. Right.

You should have told me
about that stabbing, Angie.

What if that had been
your father?

We're gonna have
to keep him warm.

You wanna get me
some blankets there

out of the right rear
compartment of the truck, please?

Sure.

Rampart Base, this is Rescue 51.

We got a second victim here.

We're gonna contact you
via the landline.

Dad?

Dad,
it's Tommy. I brought someone to help you.

We're coming in now, okay?

Dad, I brought a fireman
to take care of you.

I had to bring a cop, too.

I'm sorry,
Dad. I didn't know what else to do.

That's all right, Tommy.

How's Harper?

He's alive. I'm gonna have to
get you on the floor to work on you.

Vince, can you grab his shoulders? Tommy,
just hold the chair.

Don't do any work now.
Don't do any work.

Okay. Easy does it.

There we go.

Vince, can you get
Rampart on the line?

The number is 555-4667.

JOHNNY: Brackett's gonna
monitor our calls. I'll talk to him.

KELLY: 51, can you give me another
set of Vitals on your sh**ting victim?


BP is 134 over 90.

The bleeding has stopped.

Rampart Emergency.
Miss McCall speaking.

ROY: Awaiting an ambulance.

Kel, it's the policeman with John Gage.
They're working on the stabbing victim.


landline. How soon do you expect transport?

Johnny, hang on,
he's right here.

It should be any minute now.

Stand by.

He's applied dressings.

Johnny,
have you started an IV? Negative.

What are his vitals?

The BP is 90 over 60. Respiration
is 24. He's cold and clammy.

Pulse is 140.

He's going into
hypovolemic shock.

He's confused, coherent
and he's somewhat agitated.

Suggest that we start IV D5W.

What are the extent
of his injuries?

Well, he has multiple s*ab
wounds inferior to the clavicle.


One wound in the fifth intercostal space,
left of the sternum.


I've applied bandages.

No pulsus paradoxus,
neck veins are not distended.

Will watch for
pericardial tamponade.

All right, go ahead with the
IV. He's going to need blood.

Get a type and cross-match specimen
and transport as soon as possible.



Vince, it'll help
if he has some oxygen.

Can you get the O2
out of the squad?

Sure thing.

What's the matter with him?

Has he been sick, Tommy?

No.

Has he had any kind of dr*gs?
Any kind of medication of any kind?

He's got heart trouble.
He's taking something.

It starts with a

Warfarin? Yeah, that's it.

Rampart, on the s*ab victim,

just found out that the
victim is on warfarin.

Kel, he's on warfarin.

Bring him in stat, Johnny.



What's the matter with him?
Why is he still bleeding so bad?

It's the drug he's taking. Prevents
his blood from clotting easily.

He may bleed to death.

No way, Tommy. The ambulance
is gonna be here any second now.

Tommy, Tommy!
Your father's gonna live!

[ANGIE SCREAMS]

No!

Everyone take cover.
Come here. Come here.

Stop right there, Tommy.

He's gonna k*ll my father.
Stop him, stop him.

That's far enough, Tommy. Stop.

ANGIE: You jerk, you leave my father alone.
I'll k*ll you if you touch him. I'll k*ll you!

Come on now, keep quiet. He
doesn't know what he's doing.

He knows what he's doing,
all right, the creep.

Come on.

You guys stay back. We got
a kid with a loaded r*fle here.

Tommy, you're making
a big mistake.

You're not gonna do your
father any good this way.

Tommy, your dad's still alive.

I heard that over the phone. My
partner's taking good care of him.

Now, we got an ambulance here.
We're 10 minutes away from the hospital.

But you're holding us up.

Now, it's gonna be your
responsibility if your father dies.

We're... We're saving him,
Tommy.

But you're keeping us
from saving him.

All right, let's move in that gurney.
We got another victim over here.

That was a stupid idea, Tommy.

You could've got yourself shot.

He hurt my dad.

I'm sorry.

He'll be all right. The
firemen will take care of him.

What happened with the kid?

We talked him out of it. Man,
I couldn't stop him.

That's okay. How's he doing?

He's getting a little shocky.

Rampart, we're preparing
to transport.

KELLY ON RADIO.' 10-4, 51.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Jackson
to Treatment Room number 1.


That your stabbing victim,
Roy? Yeah.

The blood sample.
I'll take this to the lab.

Rab?

What's the matter?

[sums]

It's April,
again. Her head's still in the wrong place.

What do you mean?

It's no good. She can't
seem to get it together.

She still thinks our
son's problem is her fault.

She can't stand
the sight of him.

Listen, Rab.

Now, that's gonna pass.

You know, the...

The maternal instinct
is very strong.

Now, you just wait till she
gets her hands on that baby,

starts taking care
of him herself. It's...

She doesn't want him.

She wants to give
him up for adoption.

I can't do it.

I'll keep him myself
if I have to, without her.

See, April says she wants
to go back home

by herself.

You told me not to let go.

How do you hold on to
someone you can't reach?

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Cantor,
go to the emergency entrance.


Hi, there.

You look a little down.

Dr. Cantor,
go to the emergency entrance.


Well, yeah, I am,
a little, I guess.

It's that Rawlins girl you
brought in the other night.

Well, she delivered okay?

Yeah.

She wants to give
the baby up for adoption.

He was born with a cleft palate,
and she thinks they're all doomed.

Just isn't being fair
to anybody.

Her husband, her baby, herself.

What does her husband say?

You know, you're breaking
rule number one.

Yeah, I know.

Don't get emotionally
involved with the patient.

Well, that kind of goes
with the territory.

For all of us.

Well, you don't have
to worry about me.

There is insulation built
right inside this uniform.

Oh, yeah, sure.

How's Sam doing?

Oh, he's holding his own.

Brackett says that there's
probably no danger to the heart.

They're taking x-rays now.

What's, uh... What's happening?

Oh,
I'll tell you about it on the way.

You about ready to go?
Yeah, I'm ready.

We'll see you later.

Yeah.

Hey, that smells pretty good
for a change. What is it?

Gage, what you smell is something I've
been saving for a very special occasion.

What? Lasagna.

With a very special
homemade sauce.

Recipe given to me by that chef whose
restaurant we saved a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, yeah, that's right.
I remember.

Well, don't give me a whole lot,

because in my book,
it says too much starch is bad for you.

Well, don't you worry about that,
Gage, because what you don't smell

is what I'm preparing
especially for you.

Right out of your own book.

Where is it?

"Rutabaga Delight,"

"featuring soy bean gravy."

Let's see that.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER:

Canyon Road one half
mile north of Alameda.


Time out, 1614.

STANLEY: Squad 51. KMG 365.

KELLY: April.

You can't see Des Moines
from here, April.

It's a long way off.

It's not that far.

Back to the nest, because you can't
cope with what life is dishing out here?

That's not true, Dr. Brackett.

Isn't it?

You made a big decision
when you left your parents,

and the outside world is proving
tougher than you expected, right?

I guess so.

Now you're trying to make it all go away,
including your own guilt.

And you want to do it by returning to
a place where you felt safe in the past.

The trouble is,
you're a different person now.

Des Moines won't
be the same either.

You're alive and healthy, April,
with a husband and son who need you.

What would you have had
if you had stayed at home?

What does home have to offer that's more
important than what you have here and now?

You really don't think
I'm being punished?

Only by yourself.

You know, I was trying to picture
Des Moines when you came in.

And all I could see was Rab.

You're a very lucky girl.

We'll talk again later
if you want to.

JOHNNY: What do we got?

Well, take a look.

It's a human glider. There's
a guy under that thing.

He jumped from here, huh?

Guess so.

What kind of shape is he in?

He doesn't look too good.

We figured we better not try and
move him until you checked him out first.

All right. Well,
we'll go get our gear.

All right.

Fool, where'd he think
he was gonna land?

I don't know. You can ask
when we get down there. Let's go.

I guess you better
send our gear down.

Will do.

It's kind of a long way
down there, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

JOHNNY: It's gonna be hard
getting him down out of there.

That's for sure.

The tree doesn't
look too stable.

He must have hit pretty hard.

You guys want to get our gear,
and we'll stay here and check him out, huh?

Right.

I think I better go. The less
weight up there, the better.

Right. I'll take the radio.

All right.

Engine 85, this is Squad 51.

We're gonna need a Stokes down
here and a way of getting it back up.


Right, 51.

And better send us down
some rope and a tree saw.



How you doing?

Not so good. I think
I'm kind of busted up.

Well, we're gonna try to get you
down out of here as fast as we can.

Where do you hurt? My leg.

Which one? The right.

How is he, Johnny?

He's got a broken leg.

I can't splint him up here.

We're gonna have to
get him down first.

But first, we're gonna
have to secure this tree.

I think this limb's
about ready to go.

Need any help up there?

No, no.

Any more weight up here, and this whole
thing's gonna go. Me, him and the tree.

All right, well,
let's use the lines.

All right, anything, just hurry.

Right.

Okay, take up the slack.

Okay, give me the saw.

Okay. Thanks.

All right, give it a little
slack and let it ease down.

Easy now.

Let it ease down.
A little more slack.

Okay.

Watch his leg.

Got it?

Keep it straight. There we go.

Watch his leg. Okay.

All right, easy does it.
Easy does it. Okay.

All right.

I guess there's times when being a skinny,
out-of-condition type

comes in handy.

Okay, Larson.

April.

Dr. Brackett said
you wanted to see me.

I want to see you, hold you,
and spend the rest of my life with you.

And the baby?

And the baby.

I tried to picture my life without you,
and it was so lonely.

It was worse than anything
we've gone through together.

Honey.

I'll try to believe that whatever happens,
the good and the bad,

is just a part of living.

But I can't change all at once.

We've got all the
time in the world.

That was Dix. That guy
we saved is gonna be okay.

What are you doing?

I'm eating.

No way you're gonna keep in
shape eating that stuff, Johnny.

Ah.

It says so
right in this book here.

Oh, hush, I know what it says.

Okay, but if you keep eating
that kind of junk...

Junk?

Chet, do you think this
is a normal-type sandwich

like some of the junk that
you eat? You're wrong.

As usual, you're 100% wrong.

You know, Chet,
I'm gonna tell you.

This sandwich is made
with secret ingredients.

Secret ingredients?
Come on, John.

I'm not kidding you. I'm
being very serious with you.

The recipe to this sandwich was
given to me by an old Winnebago Indian.

It was an ancient tribal secret
handed down from father to son.

They used to eat this stuff
all winter long.

They were in fantastic shape.

Well, you know. You know how
they used to outrun deer

and run around in the snow
half-naked.

It was because of
this stuff right here.

They also lived to be
fantastic old ages, too.

Get out of there. In fact...

In fact, the guy who gave me
the recipe to this sandwich,

lived to be


And he'd still be alive today
if he wasn't hit by a bus

coming home from his girlfriend's
house at 3:00 in the morning.

You know, I'm gonna tell you something.
Now, you're not gonna believe this.

But I had the hospital analyze
the ingredients to this sandwich.

And you know what they told me?

They said this could very well
be a breakthrough

in the care and feeding of the
old people all over the world today.

There's a lot of money
to be made in this sandwich.

I wonder if we have
any more mayonnaise.
