[sum-nus]

You know, I don't think it's going to work,

Why don't you just come

You don't want to
sleep on the sofa.

I don't want to
sleep on the sofa.

Okay, fine, you don't have to.

I've got an armchair.
That's even worse.

No. I'm gonna go to a motel.

No, listen, it converts.

Converts?

Yeah, converts into a bed.

Bigger than the ones we've got
back at the station, I can tell you.

Plus nobody
has ever slept in it.

Okay. I can't let Joanne know.

I need to get away
from the family for a while.

All the little problems and
chores have been getting me down.

Yeah, I know. I can't blame you.

Oh, we're gonna have a ball.

Hey, look now,
I need some peace and quiet. Relaxation.

Right. I guarantee it.
All right.

Hey, good morning. Hey,
how did you guys make out last night?

Did you have some fun
for yourselves?

That much fun, huh?

Look, you didn't have to
move out to a motel, you know.

Yes, I did. Things started to
quiet down. I told you it would.

I didn't mind so much
the first girl

pounding on the door
at 1:30 in the morning...

Oh, for heaven's sakes,
it was Laverne. Who is she?

She lives down the hall from me. She
always likes to drop in every now and then.

Drop in and cry.

She has these fights
with her boyfriend.

At 1:30 in the morning.

Can I help it? I mean,
they keep odd hours.

And the other girl comes barreling in,
right? That was about...

That's Laverne's
boyfriend's sister.

She comes in,
tries to straighten everything out.

You could've fooled me.

And then he comes in
at 2:30 in the morning.

Yeah, that was a bit unusual.

Edgar usually doesn't do
stuff like that.

And so, what?
A big fight occurred?

Big. Not really.

And I'm lying
right in the middle of it,

stuck in this convertible
armchair in my underwear.

Look, I was trying
to do you a favor, pally.

I appreciate that.

But, you know, your private life
is a little too uproarious for me.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah? All right,
okay, all right.

Laverne's boyfriend's sister...

[JOHNNY MUTTERING]

I can even forgive the fact that
you didn't really go to sleep at 10:00.

I like to lie in bed
and read. And eat.

Well, that relaxes me.
Relaxes you?

Six times
to the refrigerator you went.

Six times. Bang, clatter,
clash. It was incredible.

I like something to nibble
on when... Nibble on?

Nibble on? For an hour and a half,
you nibble?

[SIGHING] I don't know
how Joanne stands it.

Oh, she does it, too.

Okay, he's ready. Let's go.

Hey, what are you doing?

We're taking you
to the hospital.

Oh, no, no.
Wait till I finish this hand.

Oh, Barry, for crying out loud.

Look-it, I feel fine.

'Course you feel fine. That's the
medication. You're still a very sick man.

And that's why we're going
to take you to the hospital.

Listen, I know my rights.

Nobody's taking me anyplace
without my say-so.

Now, look, it's very important.

Wait until I finish the hand.

He's got to be moved.

The game's over, Barry.
Now look-it.

Just keep your hands off there.

Not till I get my last card.

Anybody lays a hand
on me, I'll sue.

Rampart, we have a delay.

What's the problem, 51?

[SIGHING] The patient is playing
poker. He's extremely agitated.

Says he won't go anywhere
without playing his hand.

Roy, PVCs.

Additional 5 milligrams MS IV.

You play poker?

Yeah, sometimes.

You finish this hand
for me and I'll go.

Don't be stupid, Barry.

You heard what they said, Barry.

And you heard what I said.

If he finishes
the hand for me, I'll go.

What do I do?

Play the hand.

Rampart, patient says he'll
go if I play his hand for him.

I don't care what it takes,




Okay, I'll finish your hand.

Okay, then, I'll go.

Okay, he's ready. Let's go.

Hey.

Whatever you do, don't fold.

Ahem. Now...

[SIREN BLARING]

Well,
the game's seven card stud. Nothing wild.

You're sitting on a possible
straight flush, queen high.

The chips are 5s, 10s and 20s.

Dollars?

Dollars.

Dollars.

Last card. Down and dirty.

Nine's bet.

A hundred.

You fold?

Well, let's keep
the game honest.

I'll call that
and bump it a hundred.

It's up to you.

Yes.

Two hundred to play.

[MUMBLING]

How much are these?

Twenties.

[sum-nus]

Two, four...

Well, your poker playing
friend is doing just fine.

Then he won both ways, then.

Oh?

You're not going
to believe this,

but when I looked at
that man's hole cards,

I almost had
a heart att*ck myself.

He was bluffing.

He was bluffing.

There was nothing in comparison
of when you came in and said...

Now wait a second,
wait a minute. It's my turn.

You know, that convertible
armchair of yours

isn't one of the great things...

All right. What's wrong with
the convertible armchair?

I mean, it's brand new.
Nobody's ever slept in it.

That's right, nobody has.

Let me know if someday
somebody manages to do so.

Oh, and another thing.

Every time you roll around in that thing,
it snaps back at you.

Oh, it didn't.
