[bunniefuu]

Hey, Roy, you lose something?

No, I'm looking
for today's paper.

Comics section?

Ah. Sports section.

Hey,
did Hank Aaron hit any home runs yesterday?

I don't know.
Who does he play for?

[SCOFFS] How can a guy read
a sports section every single day

and not know
anything about baseball?

What are you reading?

The racing charts.

Racing chart?

Aha!

Roy's secret vice
finally emerges.

I don't bet,
I just like to try to pick the winners.

I've never even
been to the track.

Well, it's a good thing you
don't bet. You'd do lousy.

I do okay.

Beautiful, isn't she?

Yeah, she is.

Guess I never will quit being
nuts about these engines.

I know what you mean. It
sort of gets into your blood.

Yeah.

Oh, how did the Dodgers do?

[LAUGHS SHEEPISHLY]
I don't know.

Stay back, folks!

Thank God you're here!
It wasn't our fault!

Okay. What happened?

It just happened just like
this. But it wasn't our fault.

We did the best we could.
Okay, take it easy!

What happened?
Well, you see, this lady,

she climbed over the fence
to take a picture of the lion.

But she fell into the
pit and the lion bit her.

But it wasn't our fault.

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

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

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

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

Can't you get that
cat out of there?

I already hit him with
the tranquilizer g*n.

How long does it take to work?

I don't know. I don't know.

All animals are different. Yeah.

Cap, we gotta get her out.

Okay.

Look, help us out. Move all
these people back, will you?

Sure. Please,
stand back, folks. Marco,

bring lifelines and a Stokes
and pull us an inch and a half.

Give him a chance to work here,
will you?

Please stand back, folks.

Walk that way,
please. Stand back.

There you go. Come on,
move it. Thank you.

Move it!

[GROANS]

Rampart base to Squad 51.

Go ahead, 51.

We have a victim of a lion bite.

A female, about 30 years of age.

She has a bite on the
upper left portion of her leg.

She is bleeding.

Also looks like she has minor
abrasions and contusions.

We haven't been able
to reach the victim yet.

Standing by, 51.

Get me Dr. Brackett.

[GRUNTING]

There we are.

There we are.

[GROANS] Okay.

Marco, you better undo
that belt there.

Rampart, Squad 51.

Go ahead, 51.

The victim is stuporous,
her pupils are sluggish,

the skin is pale,
moist, cold and clammy.

Stand by for vitals.

Pulse is 110.
The BP's 100 over 60.

Respiration's 16.

Rampart.

Vital signs.

BP is 100 over 60.

Pulse is 110 and
respiration is 16.


stopped the bleeding?


Rampart. We've got a compress on it now.



Start an IV
with Ringer's lactate,

and transport
as soon as possible.





[SIRENS WAILING]

Folks, like to move to the
side for us here, please?

Over this way.

Thank you.

Okay. Come on down here.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Engine 18,
the squad is not available.

Do you need
any other assistance?

MAN ON RADIO:
Negative, Division Two.

Got it?

Okay.

I didn't know you could
climb a rope that fast.

Neither did I.

[SIRENS WAILING]

You guys did a good job.

She'll be up and
around in a few days.

Thanks, Doc. See you later, huh?

All right, talk to you later.

You know, Roy,
I've just been thinking.

Yeah?

Now when I go to the races,
I usually pick a couple of winners.

Uh-huh.

That's pretty good,
wouldn't you say?

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose so.

But I suppose you're
better at it than I am.

Oh, I don't know. Like I said,
I've never gone.

Well, what's the difference if
you pick them out of the paper

and you pick them at the track?

Maybe none.

Maybe a lot.

All right.

Okay. Say, for example,
how'd you do yesterday?

Well,

I picked six and five won.

DISPATCHER ON PA: Engine 18,
see the man at First and Cabin

regarding
the hazardous situation.

Everybody has a different
system for the track.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I suppose so.

I mean, you can't win,

say, five out of six races without
having some sort of a system.

Sometimes I only
win three or four.

Now, see, that's exactly
what I mean, Roy.

You've got to have
to have a system.

No, no, I don't have a system.
I keep telling you that.

You have to have a system.

Hey, where are you going?

Oh, I thought maybe you
needed some help in there.

If we need you,
I'll let you know.

Oh, but, Cap... Tell you what.

Wait with the rig, Chet,
just wait by the rig.

Oh, man.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Tables are all full up.

Standing room only at the bar.

It's the Fire Department!
We got a...

I don't care who you are,
we're full up!

We got a call. You got a
sick woman here. Right?

Stay right here.

Yeah, what do you want?

The sick woman!

Firemen?

All right. Come on, follow me.

Hi. How you feeling?

Not too well at the moment.

What seems to be the trouble?

I've had a cold,

but then I started getting
these chills and a stiff neck

and cramps.

Does this hurt? Mmm.

She's got abdominal cramps,

complaining of
a stiff neck and chills.

Rampart,
this is Squad 51. How do you read?

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER TELEPHONE]



We read you,
but there's a lot of interference.

Correct, Rampart,
we have a sick lady in a bar.

Stand by
for vital signs, Rampart.



Sounds like one heck of a party.

Okay, BP is 122 over 80.

Rampart.

BP is 122 over 80.

Her pulse is 80,
the respiration's 21.

Hey!

Hey!

Down in front!

Oh, sorry.

The skin feels warm.

Have you had anything to drink?

[CHUCKLES] No. Believe it or not,
I don't drink at all.

Victim is too weak to stand.

She also has abdominal pains.


as soon as possible.



Yeah?

Hey, how was it?

How was what?

Oh, come on,
you know. How... How was it?

Oh.

You know, you're lucky the
captain made you wait out here.

How come?

It would have been
too much for you.

Are you comfortable?
Yes. Thank you.

Good. The doctor
will be right in.

Dr. Brackett,
this is Suzy Clark.

Hi, Suzy Clark. Hi.

So you're a dancer? Yeah.

How long have you
had that swelling?

A few days.

I thought it was
from the sore throat.

Her temperature is 102.

[GASPS]

Is the pain severe?

Not really, but I feel it.

Do you dance full-time?

No, just three days a week.

My class load is too
heavy for a full-time job.

Class load?

At the university.

I'm working on
my master's in sociology.

That's quite a combination.

Yeah, I guess
it does sound weird.

But the money pays
for school and besides,

I'm doing my thesis
on the sociological impact

of go-go dancing
on middle-class America.

Well, Suzy,
we're going to run some tests on you.

Hopefully, it won't take too
long to find out what's wrong.

Well, you're the doctor.

Dix, I want a CBC,
an SMA-12, a UA,

and a chest x-ray.

Also, let's get
a heterophile antibody.

Let me know as soon as you
get the reports on that blood count.

[sum-nus]

ROY»

you just have to have a system.

Nope.

I can't explain it,
I just get a feeling.

Well, what causes the feeling?

I don't know. Well, think!

I don't want to think. I
just do it for enjoyment.

That's pretty inconsiderate of you,
if you ask me.

The guys back at the station

could be getting rich if you'd
just tell them how you do it.

I keep telling you,
I don't know exactly how I do it.

All right. Okay. Fine. Fine.

The least you could do is

pick a horse
so we could bet on it.

I don't want
that responsibility.

What if you lost?

Roy, our friendship runs a heck
of a lot deeper than just money.

Good.

Then we can
forget the whole idea.

BOY: Watch out!

Okay, we got Yo"-

Hi!

Hi. Okay, is someone
hurt up there?

Oh, you mean Dad.
He's up by the garage.

All right. Thanks.

Go get your skateboard. Okay.

WOMAN: Thank God you're
here! He won't listen to me.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Please go away.

I told him he needed
medical attention,

but, oh no, he thinks
he knows everything!

I told her not to call.

Yeah. Not call?

And listen to you
moan and groan all day

just because you
wanted to show everybody

how young you think you are?

I beg your pardon?

Martha, will you please shut up?

No. I will not!

Can you imagine this?

A grown man
riding on a skateboard.

Oh, you fell off, huh?

Yeah, but I'm okay.

You are not okay!

It's not that he fell off,
it's what he fell into.

Oh, you mean, he...

That's right.
Right into the cactus.

You fell on your, uh...

Yeah, landed right on it.

Look, I'm not going
to any hospital.

I'll see my own doctor.

Oh, that's fine,
but I would get that looked at.

You might need a tetanus sh*t.

Tetanus?

They...

They give you that
in the arm, don't they?

Yeah.

All right, I'll go.

Soon as I can sit in the car.

Well, sir,

I really think
you should go sooner.

I mean, you can lie down on
your stomach in your station wagon.

Which is exactly
what I told him!

Which is exactly
what she told me.

Okay, Martha, I'll go.

Look, fellas,
thanks a million for your trouble.

No problem.

Look. If you could
sign this form here?

It just shows that
you refused treatment.

There you go.

And again,
thanks for your trouble.

Yeah, it's quite all right.

Yeah. You take it easy
next time, okay?

I hope you're feeling better.

Me too.

If you'd spend more time fixing up
the house instead of playing around,

you wouldn't be
in this condition.

Looky here. A skateboard.

Here, hold onto this.

That's not a good idea.

Oh, don't worry about it.

I've been
on these things before.

It's just a thing of getting
the knack of it, that's all.

It's balance. Pure balance.

Whoa!

[CRASHING]

[JOHNNY GROANING]

There. Now,
that didn't hurt, did it?

No, not at all.

Well, I think
we got them all out.

And how did this happen?

[EXCLAIMS] He was riding...

If you want to tell
the story, why don't you

come outside here

and help me write it up
on the report?

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. Hoffman, 64, please.

JOE: Johnny.

Hey, Doc. Hello. Roy.

Kel, how's our dancer?

Take a look.

Hmm.

You were right.

Atypical lymphs.

Looks like mononucleosis.

Yeah, it does.

It's a good thing she
collapsed when she did.

It gave us a chance
to diagnose it early.

Hi. Hi.

Well, what's the verdict?
Am I going to live?

Oh, yeah. For a long time.

Suzy, it...

It's not serious, but we did discover
that you have mononucleosis.

The kissing disease?

You're putting me on.

I don't have time
for any social life.

Kissing is only one way
to catch the virus.

Eating and
drinking utensils, crowds,

any one of them
could be the cause.

Crowds I've been in!

Yeah. You've also been
pushing yourself too hard.

Going to school full-time,
dancing at night,

it's just too much exertion,
and it contributes greatly to the disease.

So what's the remedy?

We're going to keep you here for
a few days, run some more tests,

just to make sure that jaundice
or hepatitis doesn't appear.

After that,
lots of sleep and rest.

The end of a promising career!

Oh, well, I've got enough
material to finish my thesis.

You know, the one on the
sociological impact of go-go dancing...

On middle-class America.

Hey, Roy,
reading the old sports section again, huh?

Uh-huh. Who looks good to you?

Well, Bill Buckner's
hitting over 300.

And what about the horses?

I've given that up.

MARCO: How come, Roy?

It stopped being fun,
so I switched to baseball.

Baseball's boring.

Oh, it's a drag.

Hey, now, look, we've all
decided to pitch in 10 bucks apiece

and bet in the
feature race tomorrow,

and we thought, you know,
maybe you could give us an idea.

How could I help?

Come on, Roy. Anybody who
can pick five out of six winners

has got to have found a system.

MARCO: That's right.

It kind of slipped out...

Look. I'll tell you just like
I told my trusted partner.

I do not have a system.

Yeah. But the winners...
That's luck.

That's just plain luck.

We'll take it.

Roy, come on, listen.

For the guys.

Just once isn't gonna hurt.

What if you lose?

Then we all
lose together, right?

That's right.

Okay.

Over The Rainbow.

Look, Roy?

That's kind of rushing it,
wasn't it?

Okay. Over The Rainbow.

Wasn't that kind of fast?

Yeah, it was a little fast.

That's what I thought.

Look...

I...

I really want to thank you.

Let's go.

What's the BP?

Eighty, systolic.

Pulse 120.

Watch your back.

Substitute plasma IV.

Call X-Ray,
tell them we need a portable chest x-ray.

It looks like a hemothorax.

Mike, get me a chest tube.

What are the vitals?

Respiration's 10.

He's not getting any air.

Endotracheal tube.
We've got to ventilate.

Pull that down,

Let's slide him down

Here we go. Pull.

JOE: Replace the second liter
of Ringer's with plasma.

Start hand pumping.

We've got to get
that blood pressure up.

All right, I want this
sent to the lab, stat.

Give me a type to cross match,

and a CBC
and differential, stat.

Blood pressure 60 by palpation.

He's not getting any.
He's bleeding to death.

I think we have
a better chance at surgery.

He'll never make it. We've
got to do a thoracotomy. Now.

Okay, let's go.

Carol,
get me some gloves and a scalpel.

All I can tell you
is I was scared to death.

You weren't alone.

Sounds like a close call.

Close call? Are you kidding?

I never want to see
another g*n as long as I live.

I'll take landslides
and fires and...

Doc...

Hey, Doc, how's he doing?

Well, I think
he's going to make it.

I wasn't sure for a while,

but I think
he's going to make it.

All right.

Dix,
I'm gonna get some coffee. You want some?

Yeah, sure.

I guess we should be going.
See you guys later.

Now, don't get this wrong.

Now, I'm just curious.

Roy, why did you pick
Over The Rainbow

so fast?

The name.

Guess I just like the name.

I've been thinking about it,

and I decided that's
the way I always do it.

Because of the name?

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, that's good, that's good.

That's fast thinking.

There are some other things to consider,
though.

You know, like the breeding.

The bloodline of the horse.
The speed of the track.

The workouts.

Just think about it. That's
all. Just think about it.

I don't want to.

I'm betting on Over The Rainbow.

Cap! It's in!

Hey. Guys, it's in.

All right. How'd we do?

I don't know,
let's find out. Are we rich?

Okay.

Here we go. Here it is.

We lost.

Whistle Stop came in first.

Over The Rainbow came in fourth.

I didn't bet
on Over The Rainbow.

You didn't?

No. Track's an amazing place.

There's so many things going on,

and I made bets in my mind for
the first six races and I lost them all.

Lot of distractions.

Well, what happened
in the seventh?

Well, I had a feeling
about Whistle Stop.

It's a good name.

It sure is. It's a good name.

And so I'm going to the window,

Whistle Stop
or Over The Rainbow.

It's going through my mind. Whistle Stop,
Over the Rainbow.

And I got to thinking
about what you told me,

you know,
that you have to analyze everything,

you got to find a system.
You have to find a system.

If I told him that once,
I told him a thousand times.

We're walking down
the hallway, and I...

So I looked at all the breeding,
and I looked at the charts

and I made my bet.

Whistle Stop. Pandora's Pride.

Who?

Why?

Well, she had the best breeding.

She had the best track record.

Well, you know,
being there and betting for real

is a lot tougher than I thought.

I guess I just got carried away.

ROY»

that sounds exactly

like something I'd do.

Or me.

Or me.

Or me.

Or me.

Don't worry about it.

[sum-nus]

Pandora's Pride?

Oh, boy.
