06x07 - The Exam

[bunniefuu]

You know, Marco,
Henry is incredible.

No reflexes, no reactions.

Ah-ha, you baby.

You know, I mean,
there's something weird about him.

Yeah, I know what
you mean, Chet.

I've never seen a dog like him.

As a matter of fact,
even people.

Yeah.

Okay, buddy.

Hey, you know,
you guys oughta take Henry down to Rampart.

You know this guy could be
a medical milestone.

You know, he doesn't react
to any physical stimuli at all.

None whatsoever.

You can talk to him, he'll react,
but nothing physical.

JOHNNY: Chet! What?

Will you shut up?

Can't you see
we're trying to study?

[GRUNTS]

You know, I don't know why you guys are so
worried about a re-certification exam anyway.

All's they're gonna do is
ask you a bunch of questions

about things you do every day,
anyway. What's the big deal?

Yeah, well,
that's what we thought,

but a lot of guys we
know have blown the test.

An exam's an exam, and the
word is this is gonna be a tough one.

Yeah, but you guys have been in
tough circumstance before tough exams.

Chet. What?

"Shut up." Yeah, I know.

[PHONE RINGING]

Station 51, this is Roy DeSoto.

Oh, hi, Molly.

Yeah. Okay, look...

Get back to her, and we'll be
over as soon as we can, all right?

Okay. All right. Bye-bye.

Johnny, that was Molly.

It's Jeanine. She's got
her head stuck in a table.

She's got her head stuck in a
table? Now how did she do that?

I don't know,
but I guess we're going to find out.

[sums]

LA, Squad 51. We have a
still alarm. A child trapped.

The address is 11165 Beechwood,
the cross street is Merritt.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Squad 51,
do you need an engine?

Will advise in the scene.
Squad 51, KMG 365.

DISPATCHER: Squad 51, 1414...

Molly again? Yeah.

How bad is it?

Don't really know. With Molly,
it's all the Hindenburg.

Yeah, I know, but she's family.

[ENGINE STARTING]

[ALARM SOUNDING]

[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.

It's okay. Relax.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

It's them.

Oh, hi, Johnny.

Hi, how are you doing, Molly?

Hi, Roy. ROY: Hi, how are you?

Listen, I am really sorry to bother you,
but I can't do it alone.

Oh, I see.

Well, hello there.

What happened to you?

Looks like you got
your head stuck there.

There's a little girl who
thought it would be great fun

to put her head through the
table and found out it wasn't.

I was just trying
to reach my ball.

I thought the hole was bigger.

You were just trying
to reach your ball, huh?

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

Let's see if we can't
get you out of here.

JOHNNY: All right.

I want you to twist your head
back around and look down that way.

How's that?

No? No.

Okay, how's this?

JEANINE: No.

JOHNNY: Okay.

Well, looks like you got your
head stuck in there pretty tight.

Maybe we should go
with some baby oil, huh?

Do you have any baby oil?

Uh... Yeah, in the
medicine cabinet.

All righty.

Okay. Well, I don't think we're
gonna need an engine on this.

Nope.

All right. LA,
this is Squad 51 at scene.

We do not need an engine.

I mean, if you want to
saw it off, it's okay.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Squad 51...

Oh, I don't think we're
gonna have to saw it off.

Looks like an antique.

Sort of. It was d*ck's.
His mother kept it for him.

Mmm. Uh, listen, will this
glass top come off?

Yeah! Yeah.

Well, why don't we just do that?
We can get at her better that way.

All right, let's get
this stuff moved off.

Okay, we'll be ready
to help you, Jeanine.

Where do you want it?

You guys need a hand with that?

It doesn't matter.
No, thank you.

All right.

JOHNNY: Okay. Right here?

MOLLY: Yeah.

All right, you little monkey.
You know what this is?

It's just baby oil. ROY: Right.

JEANINE: Don't put
too much on me.

Jeanine.

Don't put a lot on?

JOHNNY: Okay.

I don't think you can afford
to be picky at this point.

Listen, I want you to pay
attention to what Roy is doing,

because you may have a little girl who
might get her head stuck in a coffee table

and you'll know
exactly what to do.

Okay. Well, we're gonna
put a little baby oil on you.

ROY: Okay, now we're gonna put a
little on the side of your head on one side

and some on the other,
all right?

Might even put
some on your nose.

JOHNNY: Yeah, we don't want
to get any in your ear.

[JOHNNY CHUCKLES]

Well, we can't let any
get any, in this ear, either.

[CHUCKLING]

Okay.

All right. Now, we're gonna
try to get you out, okay?

JOHNNY: Now,
let's see if we can't get you out this way.

Now, turn your head
around this way.

How about that? JEANINE: No.

JOHNNY: No? Okay, well,
then turn your head...

There.

JOHNNY: There we go!

[sums]

[CHUCKLES] What do you say?

Thank you.

Well, you're certainly welcome.

It's always a pleasure
to help a young lady.

Yeah. I bet he says that
to all the girls.

You mean he hasn't changed?

[LAUGHING] No.

Listen, I just made some fresh
coffee. Would you like some?

Oh, no thanks.

We're gonna have to make
ourselves available.

LA, this is Squad 51, available.

DISPATCHER: Squad 51. Johnny,
wanna give me a hand with this?

Okay.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Say, Dix told me you dropped
by the hospital the other day.

Uh-huh. Six months check-up.

Uh-huh.

You know, I was thinking, next year,
when Jeanine's in school,

maybe I'll go back,
do some volunteer work.

Read for the patients
or something.

Yeah, sounds like a
good idea, doesn't it?

I guess it might be.
Anyway, thank you so much.

Oh, you're welcome.
You're welcome.

JOHNNY: It's okay, any time.

Bye!

Bye! All right,
see you later, Jeanine.

Take care of yourself.

We certainly will try.

All right. Here you go.

Thanks.

MOLLY: Thanks, Johnny.

JOHNNY: It's all right.
It's okay.

Bye-bye, Jeanine.

JOHNNY: Hey, what was
that bit with the baby oil?

Well, I just didn't want
to make it look too easy.

It might have embarrassed
her. You know what I mean?

Was she always as
disaster-prone as she is now?

I mean before d*ck d*ed.

Well, he used to do everything
for her. Even go shopping.

And now she's had to hack it out,
alone, you know, for the last year.

Well, she's not doing
a very good job of it.

I mean,
she could have gotten Jeanine out of there.

Yeah, I guess so.

Look, I don't mind and I'm sure
the rest of the guys don't mind, either.

I mean, I liked d*ck. d*ck
was a very good fireman, too.

Well, you know,
if anything happens,

the first thing she thinks
of is call the station.

Yeah, I know, but don't you think we
should try to do something about that?

Like what? I mean, that's Molly.

Yeah, I suppose so.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Station 51,
difficulty breathing, 416 Haney,

apartment 23.416 Haney,

cross street Turner.
Time out, 1502.

JOHNNY ON RADIO: Squad 51.

STANLEY ON RADIO:
Engine 51, KMG 365.

How'd it go at Molly's?

Oh, she's fine.

Okay.

You know what it is?

No.

Where is he?

Upstairs on the left. Okay.

Pardon me.

COMMENTATOR ON TV:
Anderson to the right. There's a snap.

He was watching football.
I was in the other room,

and I heard him
breathing kinda funny.

What have we got? Don't know.

Kind of funny like he was
coughing... Chet. What have we got?

CHET: Possible heart att*ck.

He refused O2,
but we got him patched up for you.

What's his name?

Cooper. Sam Cooper. He
didn't want me to call you.

[COMMENTATOR ON TV CHATTERING]

All right, Sam,
take it easy, okay?

We're just gonna check you out
and see if you're all right, okay?

I'm all right. I told her,
it's just gas.

Oh, you know, he likes his hot dog
and beer when he watches that football.

Okay, is it easier for you to breathe when
you're sitting up or when you're lying down?

Sitting.

ROY: And when you're lying down,
do you have any pain?

Yeah, it's gas.

Cap, we're gonna
need an ambulance.

JOHNNY: 110...

All right. How old is he?

Fifty.

ROY: Uh-huh, how long
has he been like this?

MRS. COOPER: Oh,
about a half hour, this time.

ROY: "This time." So,
this has happened before?

Yeah, sometimes, when he watches
football. But it's never been this bad.

[CHATTERING ON TV CONTINUES]



Mmm-hmm.

I'm gonna check his lungs out.

Move!

Oh, he's in one of those football pools.
You know, where you pick ten winners?

And for the first time in his life, he's
picked nine, and this is his last game.

And if he wins, it'll mean a
lot of money. I'm awfully sorry.

It's okay. That's all right.

All right, Sam,
I'm not gonna get in your way,

but I am gonna have to listen,
all right?

Ma'am, is he on any
kind of medication?

No. No medication at all.

Has he ever had a heart att*ck?

No! Do you think it's his heart?

No, no, I was just asking. Oh.

Ambulance on the way, Roy.

Okay, thanks, Cap.

Rampart? Rampart,
this is Squad 51.

Unit calling in, repeat.

Rampart,
this is Squad 51. Can you turn that down?

Yeah, got it.

Don't turn it off!

Sir, we're not turning it off, we're just
turning the sound down, so I can hear.

Rampart, we have a male
patient here. Age approximately 50.

The patient has difficulty
breathing. He's orthopneic.

The difficulty occurred
about a half an hour ago.

Stand by for vital signs.

Okay, he's got bilateral rates.



Okay. Pulse is 110?



And 24 and regular
on respiration.

Rampart,

BP is 160
over 100, pulse is 110,

respirations are 24 and regular,

and we're picking up
bilateral rates.

[BEEPING]

We're getting a
sinus tach here, Rampart.

I'm gonna switch over
to a lead two.

[SIREN WAILING]

Rampart, the ambulance
has just arrived.

We request permission
to start an IV.

What've you got, Joe?


reading a sinus tach.

That's a sinus tach, all right.


your sinus tach.

JOE: Start an IV of D5W,
TKO. Transport as soon as possible.



Are you sure
he's not going to die?

Yes, ma'am. Just don't
worry. He's gonna be fine.

Okay. Hand me over the
administration kit and that tape.

Let's get him over
there. Put this table up.

That's good.

Okay, let's get an EKG.

I have a lot of money riding on
this football game. I wanna go home.

I don't care how much money
you've got bet on that game.

Just lie there
and let us examine you.

You're not going home until
we're sure you're all right.

I'm all right.

I think your team can win
without you watching.

Now just take it easy.

[PANTING]

Okay, take a deep breath.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

Another.

Okay, can you sit up?

His lungs are still wet.

Pupils are responsive.

He's still in sinus tach.

SAM: I don't feel so good now.

KELLY: Now, you just lie there
and relax and you'll be all right.

Let's get a chest x-ray, CBC, BUN,
electrolytes, cardiac enzymes,

creatinin, and blood gases.

Just relax, now.

Well, Mr. Cooper's stable now.

Well, that's good.

Yeah, I hope somebody's
got a television set.

He's going to want
to know the scores.

Oh, well, I'll find out.
I sure hope he wins.

[CHUCKLES] Me too,
or he may have a heart att*ck on you.

Yeah. Oh, tomorrow's
the big day, huh?

Yeah. Eight hours of paperwork.

Yeah. It's as if five years of rescues
aren't going to count for much now.

Oh, come on,
you're gonna do fine.

Yeah, well, that's what
I keep trying to tell him.

Yeah, well, that's what
I keep trying to believe, too,

but I keep thinking about Ernie
Brown and couple of others.

Yeah, I heard.

You know, you can have days like
that sometimes. You just kinda go blank.

[GROANS] I hope tomorrow
isn't one of those days.

DIXIE: No, it won't be.

You know, we couldn't run
this place without you.

Well, that's true.

We'll see you a little later.

Okay.

All right, see you later, Dix.

Uh, you guys wanna eat?

Huh?

Sorry. It's okay.

Hey, Gage, when's your birthday?

What?

When is your birthday?

Why?

Well, I'll read you your
horoscope for tomorrow.

I don't believe in that stuff.

Okay. If you don't want to know.

Roy, yours is in November. I
think it's sometime near mine.

November 7th.

CHET: Right. Scorpio.

Let's see here.

Hey, you got it made.
Listen to this.

"The competition may be keen,
but you have the know-how."

"Don't be afraid to
get into the race."

"You will win laurels
from your superiors."

Not bad.

August 28th.

Huh?

August 28th.
That's when I was born.

Oh, okay. Let's see here.

We got us a Virgo. Let's see.

Uh-huh.

Well, what's the matter?
Read it!

Ah, forget it. You're
probably right. Ifs just dumb.

Why does he...
Why do you do that?

Can't you see, I'm
trying to concentrate!

Well, what for? You can't miss.

Now, remember,
I've seen you in action.

Well, I don't know, Chet.
I used to think so, too.

But not since Tim Williams
didn't make it.

Tim Williams didn't make it?

What?

I thought you heard. Ernie
Brown didn't make it either.

Well, we knew about Ernie Brown.
We didn't know about Tim Williams.

Well, what's the worst that could
happen? I mean, so you flunk.

You know, so you quit playing doctor,
and you come back and haul a hose.

Big deal.

Worry about it later. Right now,
you better worry about my chili.

You know, I read some place that you
learn a lot more on an empty stomach.

Oh, why bother?

If you don't know it now, you're not
going to learn it in the next 12 hours.

You're a great help,
Kelly. You're a great inspiration, you are.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Squad 51,
Engine 127, person not breathing.

Cross street, Lexington,

STANLEY: Squad 51, KMG 365.

Well, our football fan
seems to be doing a lot better.

You can tell Mrs. Cooper
she can see her husband now.

I'll do it, Kel.
I'm going that way.

Okay. Oh, thanks, Joe.

How'd he like the final score?

Well, I think he liked it fine. He's
already spent half his winnings.

[CHUCKLES] I bet he did.

Kel? The exam the boys
are taking tomorrow,

you helped put it
together, didn't you?

Mmm-hmm. Some of it.

You don't think they could fail?

[SIGHS] It's possible,
but I don't think it's likely.

Well, you've said, yourself,

they're two of the best paramedics
that ever went through training.

It'd be a shame to lose them just
because they got uptight or something.

Yeah, but we've set
standards, Dix.

If the program's going to work,
we got to maintain them.

Uh-huh. Well, I'll tell
you something, Kel,

I'm glad I don't have to
take that exam.

I guess I'd pass,
but I'd hate to go through it.

Yeah, well, so would I.

Come on, look at it
this way, Dix,

if they don't pass the test tomorrow,
they can take it the next time.

Sure, but if they can't
pass it the first time,

what do you think the chances
are they could pass it the next time?

[CLICKS TONGUE] Well,
it depends on how hard they study.

I don't know if I like what it'll do
to their self-confidence in the field,

but that's the way it is.

Yeah, that's the way it is.

I'll see you later.

DIXIE: Yeah.

And your pillow. Thank you.

[PHONE RINGING]

Don't go away. I'll be right
back to put you into bed.

MOLLY: Hello, Oh, hi, Kay.

Yeah. No, no...

STANLEY: Well, that was quick.

Yeah. Somebody's idea
of a real sick joke.

A movie theatre,
injured people all over the screen.

CHET: That is sick.

Why do people do that?

STANLEY: Who knows? Maybe
the sirens turn them on.

[PHONE RINGING]

STANLEY: I got it.

LA County Fire Department,
Captain Stanley.

Hello, Molly.

Okay, now listen to me,
don't move her, we're on our way.

It's for real. Jeanine's
down and unconscious.

STANLEY: LA, Station 51. We
have a still alarm, a child down.


cross street, Merritt.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:
Station 51, time out, 1921.

STANLEY: KMG 365.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Molly, what's wrong?

I was on the phone. She must
have fallen from the ladder.

JOHNNY: Jeanine!

MOLLY: I didn't move her.
STANLEY: Good, good.

I never leave the ladder up.
Just this one time.

Molly, it's okay. Now,
we got an ambulance coming.

Chet, go down there and make sure
they got a backboard and sand bags

with them when they come up.

Respirations are 16.

Pulse is 100.

I'm gonna check
the back of her head.

There's a bump.

I'm gonna check her ears.

JOHNNY: No blood in her ears.

Roy, no reaction to pain.

We planned on two kids.
That's why we got the bunk beds.

When Jeanine saw it she,
she wanted to sleep on top.

I just thought
it would be all right.

Yeah.

Eyes are equal and reactive.

I'm gonna get a BPR.

Rampart, this is Squad 51.

Unit calling in, go ahead.

Rampart,
we have a female patient here. Age five.

Patient has taken a five-foot
fall from a bunk bed to the floor.

There is a bump on
the back of her head.

There's no evident bleeding
from the ears.

The pupils are equal
and reactive.

The pulse is 100,
respirations are 16, stand by for BP.

Rampart, patient is unconscious.

[AIR HISSING]



BP is 100 over 70, Rampart.


Administer six liters of oxygen

and transport as
soon as possible.



ROY: Ambulance here?
JOHNNY: Yeah.

All right.

She's got a bump on her head,
so take it easy. She's special.

Her vitals are normal,
she should be okay.

I wanna believe that, Roy.

Oh, howl wanna believe it.

Okay. Ready?

Okay. UP-

Now, hold her still.

There, okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Treatment 2.

Two.

Don't worry.

[WOMAN CHATTERING ON PA]

You better wait out here, Molly.

All right, let's start
an IV with D5W.

Draw blood for CBC
type cross match.

I also want a urinalysis.

What have we got, Mike?

Joe, she has an
occipital hematoma.

There's no papilledema.
No reaction to pain.

Reflexes are normal, though.

No localizing signs. Mmm-hmm.

Oscar, I want a cervical spine
and a skull series right away, please.

Hi, Joe. Hi, Molly.

Vital signs are pretty good.

Uh-huh.

Look, Molly,
it could be nothing more than a concussion.

She could come out
of it at any time.

Or she could never
come out of it.

Better go, okay?

Yeah.

Thanks, Johnny, Roy.

Yeah. It's okay. We'll
check back with you.

Yeah. Okay.

Bye-bye.

[sums]

You know, every time
we get a run

and it involves a child,

I get the same feeling.

It's kind of like a...

It's a knot inside my stomach.

The past five years,
it's the same thing.

I just get that same
feeling all the time.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Man, I really want to pass
that exam tomorrow.

I don't want to go back
to the engine.

That's why I joined the
paramedics in the first place.

Yeah.

Squad 51 available.

DISPATCHER: Squad 51.

Negative for fracture.

Hmm. Still no
response to stimuli?

No. It could be subdural.

Maybe.

Okay, Mike. Let's do
an echoencephalogram.

JOE: No evidence of
any shift in the mid-line.

Yeah, want to do a brain scan?

Let's do it. Mmm-hmm.

Hi. Get any rest?

Oh!

You know,
so far all the tests are negative.

Everything's negative,
but no improvement.

No, not yet.

Thanks, Dix. Molly?

No, thanks, Dix.

Right now, her vital signs remain stable,
and that's important.

She's so small.

Well, is there anything
you can do now?

Joe's doing a brain scan
right now.

Look, Molly, why don't you let Dix take
you home? See if you can get some sleep.

If there's any change,
I'll let you know.

It could be an awful long wait.

Okay.

Either way, good
or bad, promise?

Sure, I promise.

Thanks.

Okay, take it easy, huh?

Thanks, Dix.

Come on.

Everything's negative.

Hmm, looks normal. That's good.

Good morning, Cap.
Good morning, Cap.

Morning to you.
Coffee's fresh and hot.

Is there any juice here?

I don't think so. C shift must have
finished it, they were here all night.

Yeah, that's what I heard.
Must have been a full moon.

It was.

Thanks for the cup. Well...

How'd it go yesterday?

Well, the exam was long.

Besides long?

Well, I must admit,
it was easier than I thought it would be.

Well, you think you passed?

We passed. I don't know how good we did,
but we passed. I guess.

Well, that's great.

Not something you want to do
on your day off all the time.

But it's okay, I guess.

STANLEY: When do you
know for sure?

I don't really know.
Pretty soon, I guess.

They put them in computers
these days, you know.

We checked at Rampart when
we were finished about Jeanine,

they said there was no change.
Have you heard anything?

Yeah, I was talking to them a few
minutes ago, she's still in a coma.

That's 36 hours.

Just about.

[SIGHS] That's a long time.

It's too long.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Hoffman,
administrator's office.

Dr. Hoffman,
administrator's office.

Well, good morning.

Good morning.

Have you seen the results
of the exam, yet?

No, I haven't, Dix.
They're being graded now.

Who's doing it?

A computer.
It's the electronics age.

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. Brackett call Dr. Comanche.

This is Dr. Brackett.

All right, I'll be right there.

It's Jeanine.
She's had a convulsion.

Respirations are 30.
Pulse is 140.

BP is 70 over 40.

Michelle, tell radiology to set up for
an emergency cerebral angiogram.

Yes, Doctor.

Dix? Yeah, we're gonna have
to do a cerebral angiogram.

Do you have Molly's
home phone number?

Sure.

Kel, if you want,
I'll call her for you.

No, thank you. I'll do it.

You know I would have called
her if it had been good news,

I'll handle this one, too.

What is it?

All right. Thanks, Dix.

Hi, Molly.

Hello, Molly.

Hi.

Your little girlfriend's
not very good.

Yeah, I know. I heard.

They're gonna take
her up any minute.

They said I could go with her.

[SOBBING] I couldn't do it.

Well, it doesn't matter.

I suppose not.

Molly, is there
anything that we can do?

No, Johnny, thanks.

Look, we can stick
around for a while,

I mean, keep you company.
We can do that, can't we, Roy?

Sure, we're just
as available here.

Thanks, I really appreciate it,

but I'll manage.

You're sure?

The people here are
real good at what they do.

I know. I know.

Well, we'll keep checking
at the desk, okay?

Thanks.

So long.

See you later.

There is one thing.

Say a prayer for her.

Sure.

Sure.

She's all right?

She woke up yelling
her head off.

How? [DIXIE LAUGHING]

We don't know,
honey. We don't know. It just happened.

But she was out for so long.

Well, others have been, too,
for a lot longer and came around.

People don't believe it,
but medicine is not an exact science.

Oh, I believe it. Can I see her?

Yeah. Give us a few minutes
to finish checking her, huh?

Kel.

Thank you for giving
her back to me.

It was her own body that did it.

I know, but you were ready to.

I let you know, huh?

[SOBBING]

You know, it's funny when
d*ck was first assigned to the 51,

he used to come home all the
time and talk about all of you here.

I was jealous of you
for a while.

[LAUGHS]

You know, I knew I'd like Joe Early,
but I wasn't so sure about Kel.

The way that d*ck described him,
he sounded so efficient,

cold almost.

I expected him to be an ogre.

Well, there some nurses here
who might just agree with that.

No.

No, no, d*ck said
I was wrong. I was.

You know,

I used to be jealous of his
friends at the station, too.

They were so important to him,

such a big part of his life.

Now they're such
a big part of mine.

They're more than
just friends, they're...

Well...

Crutches.

That's what they are, you know.

They're your crutches.

I don't think of them like that.

Well, you treat them like that.

Like friends, too, sure,

but you've let yourself get as
dependent upon them as you did on d*ck.

But they're so much like him.

They can do so much. I can't.

Maybe when d*ck was around,
I didn't have to.

And because they're there,
you still don't try.

I guess.

You know, I used to ask d*ck
how he did something.

He'd say, "A
you have to do
is read the instructions."

Maybe I ought to start
reading again.

Why don't you, Molly?

It'd be good for Jeanine, too.

You wouldn't always have to
depend upon the guys at the station.

But what if something happens
that I really can't do?

Then call the boys or any of us.

We would be mad if you didn't.

But you'll find you can get along
a lot better than you think you can.

We'll see.

Okay, school's out.

Now let's go and see if
that daughter of yours

has completely
disrupted pediatrics.

Will you call Johnny and Roy for
me? I know that they wanna hear.

Sure, that's one favor
I'll be happy to do.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[sun f*ring]

[sun f*ring]

Hang on.

[CAR CRASHES]

All right, we'll have
you out in a minute.

Good. Good.

What's the matter with you guys?

Yeah, is there something wrong?

You could say that.

You found out about the test?

Yeah, he just talked to them.

We failed?

How could we have failed?
You didn't fail.

Well, if we didn't...

But you didn't pass, either.

Well, if we didn't fail,
we passed.

We'll never know.

STANLEY: You know they were
feeding the test into a computer?

Yeah.

Well, whatever happened, some twit
punched the wrong button. I don't know.

Anyway, it ate them up.

It ate them up?

Yup, the tests are gone,
all of them.

Oh, no. Oh, no, they're not.

We passed it.

You guys are just putting us on.

They didn't eat them up.

And I bet it's all your idea.

Well, I wish it was his idea.

Well, what do we do now?

Well, they've rescheduled
the exam for Tuesday.

Tuesday? Why so soon?

They thought it was only fair.

Let you take it while everything
was still fresh in your mind.

Oh, that's nice of them.

Oh, that's real nice of them.
