STOKER: Come on, Marco!
Straighten your wrist!

JOHNNY: Come on, Marco!
Hang in there!

Marco, I think you're definitely
in a little bit of trouble there.

Got any last words, pal?

That's it, chump.

[GRUNTING]

I could've told you it was
gonna end up like that.

Now, let's see, that's...

The next five times I get the dishes,
you do them for me, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe you ought to get
a pair of rubber gloves.

[LAUGHING]

Hey, what's wrong with you guys?

Hey, how come nobody was
rooting for the kid, anyway?

Well, we figured that if you won, you'd
be acting just like you're acting now.

How's that?

Arrogant. Arrogant.

I'm not arrogant. I'm trying
to get positive energy going

because I think I'm going up to Petaluma
for the Wrist Wrestling Championships.

Middleweight division.
I think I got a sh*t at it.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You at the
Petaluma Wrist Wrestling Championship?

Yeah, I think I could
put 51 on the map, pal.

[LAUGHS]

Chet, I think I'm gonna
have to teach you a lesson.

Right there's my office,
pal. Let's go. You wanna start us off?

Marco, can I use your chair?

Be my guest. All right.

Okay, pal, come on!
Get it up there.

Now, I gotta warn you. I've been
doing one-arm curls with 40 pounds,

three sets of 10 for two months.

You have?

Yeah.

Forty pounds?

That's okay.
Good guys always win.

Wait a minute.
Oh, wait a minute.

All right. Grip.

You guys ready?

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Go!

What's the matter, Chet?

What's wrong, Johnny?

[ALARM SOUNDING]

Could have had you
in 20 seconds.

What's your name?

Maximillian J. Laurents.
What's yours?

Pulse is 120 and regular.

Don't let that boy get away.
What are you doing to me?

Mike, draw arterial blood gases,
CBC, electrolytes, including BUN.

Okay.

BUN, CBC. What is
all this double talk?

BP is 180 over 100.

I have a little burn.
Put some butter on it.

Mr. Laurents, you have
more than a little burn.

Now, we're going to
have to get some x-rays

to see if you've suffered
any internal problems.

Such as?

Pulmonary edema for one.

Oh, more medical mumbo jumbo
designed to confuse the layman.

Yes, sir. But please
allow me to say it.

I spent most of my youth
learning the proper pronunciation.

All right, get on with it, then.

Breathe.

Calm down, just calm down.

He's not kidding, you guys. We sat
there and counted it. 80,000 bucks.

Man, to think we saved it.

"We"? What do you
mean, "we"? Me!

Oh, I admit it was an accident. You know,
we could have just left it there.

You know, I've heard about weirdoes stashing
money in cookie jars and everything,

but I never thought
I'd meet one firsthand.

You know, maybe
it's counterfeit.

Why would he stuff counterfeit
money inside of a mattress?

Well, why would he stuff real
money inside of a mattress?

Oh, Cheryl, will you please sit down?
You're making me a nervous wreck.

Well, then, leave the room.
I'm a nervous wreck already.

Honey, are you sure you want
to go through with this?

Mother, of course I do. I'm just nervous,
that's all. I'm excited.

And last week you fainted
before we even went to the church.

Listen to me.

Maybe subconsciously you
don't really want to marry him.

Mother, that's nonsense. I'm high-strung,
you know that.

This is a big day in
my life and I'm excited.

Well, at least let him go
on that awful trip first.

You can marry him
when he gets back.

Mother, the safari
is our honeymoon.

Now, Stuart made the
arrangements six months ago.

Another delay and
we'll lose our guide.

And what kind of
a honeymoon is that, hmm?

Tramping around in the jungle,
taking pictures of elephants?

Mother, will you please...

Look it's much more than that. Now,
this is a great opportunity for...

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Oh, no. Oh, no. Cheryl.

No...

I am going to go
get your father.

No, Mother. I know. It's
just warm in this room.

[BRIDESMAID HUMMING
WEDDING MARCH]

Cheryl, come on.
It's time. Come on...

Oh...

Cheryl, what's the matter?

Well, she almost fainted again.

I... No, I am going
to call this off.

No! No! I'm all right!

Okay. I'm ready. Let me see you.

Come on. Let's go.

All right.

[WEDDING MARCH PLAYING]

Cheryl?

Cheryl...

Oh, Cheryl.

Will somebody please go
get an ambulance? Call one.

Stuart...

Squad 51. A woman down. St.
Martin's Church. 3480 Silver Spring Road.

Cross street, Marlboro.
Ambulance is responding.


Time out, 1344.

STANLEY: Squad 51, KMG 365.

[SIREN WAILING]

My daughter, she's fainted.
She's inside, please hurry.

All right, hang on there. We'll
be in there in just a second.

Thank you, please hurry.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right, folks, can you please
move aside here for a second?

ROY: Move out of
the way here, please.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Excuse me, please. Thank you.

Excuse me, can I trade
places with you?

Okay.

Hi, how are you doing?
All right. There you go.

How'd this happen?

She fainted.

The room is going
around in circles.

Has she ever fainted before?

Well, she's very emotional,
and a little while ago she almost fainted.

But a week ago, she did faint.

Well, why didn't you
say something?

Stuart, she wouldn't let me. She is
so determined to go through with this.

What's your name?

Cheryl.

Cheryl, can you move your arms?

Um...

Can you move your legs?

I think so.
I just feel so woozy.

Is she on any kind
of medication?

Tranquilizers.

How often?

Oh, it's just once...
I don't really know.

Uh-huh. Okay, is someone waiting outside,
just in case an ambulance comes by...

Bob, would you, please?

Have they got to
the "I do" part yet?

ROY ON RADIO: Rampart,
she is described as very emotional.


She had a syncopal episode
last week and then one today.


And she had a low-grade
fever for the last week.


JOE: 51, start an IV, D5W, Draw a red
top and transport as soon as possible.




Oh, Stuart, I'm so sorry. This
is just really stupid. I feel so...

[SHUSHING] Baby,
it's okay. I love you.

Don't worry.

Right in there.

MRS. MALONE: Bill, when she was back
in the waiting room, you know, she just...

JOHNNY: Meet you
at the hospital.

ROY: All right.

MRS. MALONE:
To Rampart Hospital?

Yes, ma'am. It is.

STUART: Can I ride with her?

Yeah, but you're gonna
have to ride up front, okay?

Stuart, we'll be
right behind you.

Okay.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Come on, Andy.
It's for your own good.

I don't know why
I have to get a sh*t.

Because you stepped on a rusty nail,
that's why.

I didn't mean to.
Doesn't that count?

Nope. You don't want
to get lockjaw, do you?

No. But I wouldn't mind
if my sister did.

Male chauvinist.

Ouch!

There. That didn't hurt
too much, did it?

Ouch!

It hurt that much.

He's all yours.

Pulse is now 96. BP 130
over 60. Respirations are 18.

Okay, we'll need
some blood work.

CBC, electrolytes, BUN,
and show an enzyme screen.

Yes, Doctor.

How many times have you
fainted before, Cheryl?

Twice.

And when I try to get up,
the room tips and I feel nauseated.

When was the last time
you had something to eat?

Last night.

Are you on any special kind of diet
that prohibits certain kinds of foods?

Yeah, desserts. I wanted to
look good on my wedding day. Ha!

Look, you look just fine.
Just relax, take it easy.

I'll be back
in a little while, okay?

Yeah.

Dr. Early, how is she?

Well, we have a few more tests to do. She
could be here four, possibly five more days.

Doctor, we're supposed to go to
Africa on a film safari in three days.

I'm afraid you're gonna have to settle for
the zoo, for the immediate future anyway.

Excuse me, please.

Thank you.

Dix, I want to do a brain scan,
an EEG and caloric tests on Cheryl Malone.

Schedule them for
tomorrow, okay?

Right. Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

You look much better
this morning.

I am.

Well,
we have the results of your tests.

Uh-huh.

Your brain scan
and EEG are normal,

but your caloric test
is positive.

I'm reasonably certain that you have
an att*ck of acute viral labyrinthitis.

Labyrinthitis? Is there a cure?

Absolutely. You see,
your inner ear has been affected.

That's why you've
been dizzy so often.

And like so many other viruses,

it takes a long time for the
body to build up proper defenses.

I would say two to
three weeks bed rest.

But...

Stuart and I are
going to Africa.

I know, but you won't
be able to for a while.

But, Doctor,
you don't understand.

See, Stuart makes
documentary movies,

and New World Educational
Films is financing this whole trip.

He needs me. I'm his light man.

Well, you can join him in a few weeks.
I'm afraid that's the best I could do.

Oh, honey.

Do you still want to marry me
even though I'm so messed up?

Cheryl, don't even ask.

I'll see if I can't get it postponed,
at least until we can have the wedding.

Oh, Doctor, how long will
I have to be in here?

I'd say about a week,
then you can rest at home.

A week! It might
as well be a year.

Look, will you stop worrying
and just relax? Take it easy.

Remember, the more rest you get,
the sooner you'll get better.

Yeah, I'm sorry, Doctor. It's just
that everything is going wrong.

Honey, it'll be all right.
We'll work it out somehow.

Okay, Dix, let's go.
We'll see you later.

All right.

It's okay.

You know, Dix, that girl certainly
has a lot of spirit, doesn't she?

Yeah, she sure does.

Just a shame that
had to happen to them.

Well,
they're young. A slight delay won't matter.

Joe, you just don't understand.

You know,
I'm being accused of that a lot lately.

Hey, that's okay, Chet,
maybe next year. Here, have a roll.

You know, I couldn't believe it.
This was like arm wrestling a derrick.

This guy wasn't even in
the semi-finals last year.

Oh, thanks.

Hey! Good morning, guys.
How you guys doing?

Not too good. Not too good.

Looks like Chefs not going
to be going to Petaluma.

Aww. Why not?

'Cause I got b*at, that's why.

Oh, really? Who was she?

Funny,
Gage. You want to go at me again?

Yeah, you want to
go again? Come on.

Ah, there you are, gentlemen.

Mr. Laurents. Glad
to see you're okay.

Well, I'm fine, thank you.

Would you like to
sit down and join us?

We're just having
a little breakfast.

No, thank you. I'm only here to
express to all of you my gratitude.

But as we all know,
talk is cheap.

Well, sir, you'll be glad to know that
we turned your money over to the police.

Ah, yes, yes, I've already been
there. It's all present and accounted for.

You carry it in a brown bag,
like groceries?

You mean that's all yours?

Young man, you express the
same skepticism as the police,

but I can assure you it is
all mine. Every last cent.

Why in the world don't you
put it in a bank?

Banks get robbed. And if they
don't get robbed, they go broke.

And if they don't go broke, some employee
on the inside embezzles your savings.

No, I hate banks.

Mr. Laurents...

Banks are insured for robbery, and they don't
go broke unless there's some major depression.

[CHUCKLES] I know all about depressions.
My brothers helped to create one in 1929.

They frittered away my father's
fortune on schemes and plans to triple it.

All except this. My
father left this to me,

his youngest son,
and I wouldn't let them touch it.

You mean you've been keeping
this all this time in a mattress?

What did you expect me
to do with it?

Put it in the stock market?

What is a stock? Can
you wear it? Can you eat it?

Does it serve any useful purpose
other than to let some fast-talking broker

swindle you out of your savings?

If it's such a great investment,
why does he tell you to buy it?

Why doesn't he buy it himself?

Just thought I'd ask, you know.

Perfectly all right, young man.

[CLEARING THROAT] Now,
back to my purpose in coming here.

All of you saving
my life like that

has rekindled the faint spark of hope that
there is still some good left in the world.

Well, Mr. Laurents, I mean, we're
all happy that you weren't badly hurt.

Well, and because
talk is meaningless,

I will give you proof
beyond doubt.

Enjoy yourselves,
gentlemen. On me.

[STAMMERING]
Mr. Laurents, I'm sorry,

but I don't think we're gonna
be able to accept this.

Of course you can.
Don't be silly.

Sir, we are not allowed
to accept gifts.

Who says so?

Well, the Fire Department.

Are you in charge here?

Yes, sir.

Well?

It's departmental policy. It's county
policy. It's certainly beyond my authority.

I begin to smell the strong
odor of bureaucracy.

What could it possibly matter?

Well, you see,
if we start accepting gifts,

then people would
expect something in return.

I mean, for instance,
a guy owns a store, you know,

and we go in
and do an inspection.

We find he's in violation
of fire regulations...

Well, he's given us some
gifts, maybe some money,

you know, a little bit
of presents, and...

He's expecting us to
do a good turn for him.

Perfectly understandable,
young man.

But I do not own a store
and I expect nothing in return.

Mr. Laurents, please understand,
we cannot accept the money.

You, sir, impugn my integrity.

Oh, I'm sorry,
I don't mean to do that.

It's just that there
aren't any exceptions.

Besides, Mr. Laurents,
we get paid for what we do.

Not enough.

I'll go along with that.

Yeah, that's...

All right.

Who is in charge of
establishing departmental policy?

Well, sir, you'd have
to talk to Headquarters.

And where is that?

It's on Eastern Avenue.

I'll be back.

You think he will be back?

[HORN BLARING]

Hi. How are you feeling?

Better.

Good. Were you able
to postpone your trip?

No. The way things have been set up,
it's impossible.

I assume you two still
want to get married?

Well, of course we do.

Well, I've got an idea.

How would you feel about
getting married here?

Oh, could we?

Sure. I've checked.
No objections.

Oh! I'll have to
call my parents.

After that, we'll call yours.

We'll have to get a hold of
Reverend Jacobsen and Gail.

Thank you. And you'll come,
too, and Dr. Early if he can.

We'd love to.

Oh, well, a Wedding's a wedding.

Give me the phone,
I'll get started.

Oh, yeah. Here.

Simba? Simba.

Simba?

LA Station 51's
available at scene.

DISPATCHER: Engine 51, 0835.

Well, you seem to be okay,
Mrs. Evans,

but you're gonna have to stop
calling us every time Simba gets loose.

Oh, I just brought him out for
some fresh air, and he scooted away.

I get so frightened
and I get short of breath.

Yeah, well, I understand that,
Mrs. Evans,

but, you see, you're either going
to have to keep Simba inside

or you're gonna have to stop
worrying about him so much.

It's gonna make you
hyperventilate.

JOHNNY: Simba.

I don't want him to
think I don't trust him.

JOHNNY: Simba?

Oh, ma'am, maybe you could
have a higher fence put up.

Oh, would you?

No, I didn't mean we would...

You'll have to hire somebody.

Oh, I see.

Simba? Simba?

Come here, Simba,
nobody's gonna hurt you.

Simba. Simba. Come on, Simba.

Simba.

[meows]

Simba. Johnny,
I got him, over here.

Easy.

Take it easy now,
don't scare the little critter.

Ah, there you are. Yeah. Watch,
he may run in between us here.

Here we go.
Hi there, kiddo, okay.

Yeah, nice kitty, nice kitty.
That's good. Ah, here we go.

Okay, I got him now.
I got him now.

All right.

Here he is. Just sitting
over there looking at us.

Oh, Simba.

Oh. Oh, you bad, bad boy.

Why don't you... Why don't
you get him a parakeet?

He might stay at home
more often.

Oh. You shouldn't
run away, you...

Oh, Simba. You were a naughty boy,
Simba.

You ran away and you made
Mama sick again.

Oh, Simba,
don't run away anymore.

Oh, Simba.

By the authority committed to me as a
minister, I declare that Cheryl and Stuart

are now husband and wife

according to the ordinance of
God and the laws of this state.

Whom therefore God has joined together,
let no one put asunder.

You may kiss the bride.
Congratulations.

MRS. MALONE: Congratulations!

MAN: Wonderful, wonderful.
Doesn't she look pretty?

Daughter, I'm so happy.
Stuart...

[CLEARING THROAT]

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Aren't we forgetting something?

Cheryl, wrong arm.

Oh.

[ALL LAUGHING]

That was some throw, Cheryl.

Here, first bounce.

Thank you.

Oh,
I'm sorry. I can't throw left-handed.

Congratulations, both of you.

Now, I think you've had enough
excitement for one day. So rest, okay?

Yes, sir.

Bye-bye, darling.
We'll see you later.

Bye, Mom. Bye-bye.

Bye, Mom.

Goodbye, cookie.

Bye, talk to you later. Yeah.

Bye, Cheryl.

Bye-bye.

Oh, Dixie, thank you so much.

Beautiful wedding.

Thank you, Dixie.

[PHONE RINGING]

That must be Headquarters.

Yeah, Mr. Laurents had plenty
of time to get there by now.

LA County Fire Department,
Captain Stanley.

No, no, he's on B shift. He'll be in
tomorrow. Yeah, you're welcome.

Anybody want anything to eat?

[SIGHING] I don't believe it.

What is this?

Anybody know what this is?

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

Would you look at this?

Look at this.

Oh, wow.

Hey, listen, listen.

"I've spent 50 years
avoiding the establishment.

"At this late date,

I can see no point
in resuming contact with it.

"You boys do with this
what you will."

"I shall pretend you spent it
on a worthy cause, yourselves."

"Don't waste your time
trying to find me."

"My brothers have been
looking since 1933."

"Sincerely,
Maximillian J. Laurents."

He never even went
near Headquarters.

We're gonna have to
contact them ourselves.

Well, let's count it first, Cap.

There's nothing
but fifties here. Wow!



Sixteen, seventeen.







Okay, packets of $2,000.

So we got one,
two, three, four...

Five. And there's five here.

Okay, that's 10, 20... $20,000.

ALL: $20,000.

Twenty...

What a mess. I'm going
to call Headquarters.

This is incredible.

Are you sure you
want to do that, Cap?

Hey, can I just hold it
for a little bit? Huh?

Come on. Let me just...

JOHNNY: Yeah, well,
who's gonna stop you?

MARCO: Maybe they'll
let us keep it, huh?

Yeah, well, I hope so.

Let's see.
$20,000 divided by six...

Six and there's three.

Three, eighteen...

[ALARM SOUNDING]

All right, Cap.
What do we do with it?

Put it in the squad.

Mind his torso up here.

Got him?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Johnny, we've got
some wires sparking here.

Let's get out of here. Come on.

Let's go. Hurry up!

[SIRENS WAILING]

He has no internal
injuries, Johnny,

just a nasty bump on the head.

Yeah, and what does
this look like?

That's a nasty bump on the head.

Yeah, thanks to the flying
jet ace over there.

Honey, I'm sorry.

Sorry? You know you almost
got us k*lled with that stunt?

You know, last month,
he bought a sports car.

He took me out to demonstrate
the fine art of speed-shifting.

Okay.

He dropped the transmission
in Culver City,

and by the time
we stopped moving,

we were in Santa Monica.

Hey, just... Please, okay?

I'm never getting in another moving
vehicle with you as long as I live,

be it airplane, automobile
or little red wagon.

All right, just... Ma'am, please,
you're gonna have to...

You may be hurt.
You don't know. Okay?

I don't suppose there's
anything left of my plane, is there?

Morning.

Morning. Morning.

What are you doing?

He's figuring out
the split of the money.

Okay. Here it is.

$3,333.33 apiece
with two cents left over.

All right. That
sounds pretty good.

It's nice to dream, Chet.

Well, I'm an optimist,
I'll admit that.

Hey, you know
what we ought to do?

What?

We gotta call Headquarters.

Find out what they're
doing with the money.

They've had it two days.

That's exactly what
the Cap's doing right now.

We got to wait on him.

Yeah. You know what we
ought to do in the meantime?

Form a committee.

What for?

Well,
to decide what to do with the money.

I don't need a committee to tell
me what I want to do with my money.

Well, what's the word?

The word is that Headquarters,

never having been confronted
with a situation quite like this,

has decided to let us do what
we want to with the money...

Well, all right!
That's what I'm saying.

All right. Right!

As long as we don't
spend it on ourselves.

That's not so incredible.

Well... You know how it is.

I guess we could give it to
charity or something like that.

Yeah, we could give it to
the Welfare and Benefit Fund.

I mean, some of us might be
able to use it someday, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, we also should
remember Rampart General.

We should give them
some of that money.

Hey, there's a lot of organizations
that could use some of this money.

Hey, now, wait a minute. It's
getting spread out right now,

and that's why we should
have a committee right now.

Right. You're right. I officially
form us all into a committee.

Okay-Okay-

[ALL CHATTERING]

I think we should
do Rampart General.

Yeah, we could put
Rampart General down...

We can't... We can't...
