What?

The opening of the new subway spur.

I am flying south to terrorize

the bass population.

So you represent the department.

You don't actually expect me

to apologize to him for that?

I'm on your side dear

but after 15 years of

running this department,

you develop an instinct of

when to keep your mouth shut.

I can't believe you're eating

three hamburgers before practice.

It's a perfect motivational food.

C'mon, let's go.

Here hold this for me.

Okay, sure.

What's the matter?

My hand.

Something bit my hand.

Are you okay?

Let's get the hell out of here.

Okay, let's do it again

and this time...

We're not talking to each other.

- All right.

- Five, six, seven, eight.

Okay, that's it for tonight.

Well?

Well, what?

How'd it go with Harris.

Oh, he gave me a list of books

to read because he thought I

was so interested in the lecture.

Well, you did lay it on pretty thick.

I'm just going to have to

try a more direct approach.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know.

Hi Mr. Harris, mind if we watch.

Not at all. We could use

a little encouragement.

All right. Set up a 2-1-2 zone

and let's see a little defense.

And I want to see you hustle, Matt.

All right gentlemen. 20 laps.

Hey, "Teach," his hand.

What happened.

Kind of had an accident.

Something bit me.

That's going to need some stitches.

You two guys take him

to the emergency room

The rest of you clowns

hit the showers.

That's it for tonight.

Did you see that?

Right down to the bone.

Hey.

Hi Matt.

I'll see you guys later, okay.

Was it something I did?

What?

Come on, this cold shoulder

routine the last couple of days.

If I did something wrong...

- You didn't do anything wrong.

- Then what's your problem?

My problem?

Why is everything always my problem.

Look, I just want to

know what's the matter?

You are my girlfriend.

Oh, you make it sound

like some goddamn honor.

You don't own me you know.

Sometimes I wish you'd

just leave me alone.

You want to be alone? Huh?

Okay, that suites me fine then.

Goodnight coach.

Goodnight Steve.

Good coverage out there.

Mr. Harris?

I have to talk to you.

I gather it's something that

can't wait until third period?

No, it can't.

Mr. Harris

I think I'm falling in love with you.

Trudy, I'm flattered but

I'm not entirely sure you know

what you're talking about.

I do, I do. I think about you a lot.

Just because you think

about somebody a lot

doesn't necessarily

mean you love them.

It's the way I think about you.

The things I imagine

us doing together,

like sometimes late at night

Trudy, sometimes when you

want someone very badly

and you can't have them,

you want them even more

but that's not love.

What do you call it then?

A crush.

Can't that turn into love?

Yes, if two people want it to.

But you don't?

Trudy, you're very young.

You have your whole

life in front of you.

What about you?

Call me in about 10 years, all right?

Good night Trudy.

Trudy, good night.

Good night Mr. Harris.

Will power Harris.

- Hello Bill.

- Hi Paul.

How's Logan?

Well, anytime you're dealing with

an animal bite you've

got a tricky situation

because of the threat

of secondary infection.

Now, since we don't

know what bit David,

I've started him on

the Pasteur vaccine

as a precaution against rabies.

You have no idea at

what got hold of him?

Well, the close set punctures

would indicates some kind of rodent.

But the bite itself is much larger

than anything I'm familiar with.

Now, if I had to guess,

I'd say something

in the order of a Great Dane,

except that dogs don't

have the jaw pressure

to snap through those

metacarpels that cleanly.

He's in here.

Hey, Hose.

Hey coach.

I can see you're being very

well taken care of here.

- We were just talking about you.

- You were?

How are you doing? I'm Paul Harris.

- Hi, Kelly Leonard.

- Nice to meet you.

I hear our patient here is

quite the basketball star.

Yeah, he is when he

shows up to practice.

That's from the guys.

Hey, thanks.

Kelly's from the health department.

She's trying to answer

that burning question,

"Just what bit David Hoserman?"

So far we're not having much luck.

A lot of laughs, though.

Well, I'm sure you two have a little

strategy you'd like to talk over,

so I'll leave you to it.

If either you or your friend think

of anything that might help,

- just give me a call at the office.

- Okay.

It's nice to meet you.

Yes, you too. Take care.

Hey, Kelly.

It's been real.

Good night Henry.

Good night, Catharine.

George.

You're a half an hour late.

Aww, come on Kelly.

The boss has been gone

for a long weekend

and when the cats away,

the mice are supposed to play.

You understand what I mean?

I understand what you mean.

Since you're such

an authority on life,

I have a job for you.

Come look at this.

The phone's been ringing

off the hook all morning

with reports of rodent damage

all through this area.

18th Street sewer line.

That's right, and it

empties right there.

The grill.

Exactly.

So you think they're coming

uptown through the sewer

and you want me to go down

there and check 'em out?

Right.

Wrong.

I'm tired of crawling underground.

That's your job.

You're a field inspector.

Well, maybe I should find

me some other kind of work

because it ain't like the old days

when I started in pest control.

It's gettin' bad, and dangerous,

and ugly down there Kelly.

Would you believe that other

day I saw a rat this big?

Are you through?

Naw, I mean it. He was this big.

Well, while your checking into

other career opportunities,

perhaps you could go and check

out the drain for me please.

That sucker was this big!

Okay, buddy.

Oh, c'mon dad.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hope you're not

stopping on my account.

No, we've reached the end

of the line, thank God.

Can I go and play hide and seek?

All right. But don't go too far.

Do you come here a lot?

Well, this is our turf,

you might say.

Timmy lives with his mother,

but I get him on weekends.

He knows a lot of the kids here,

so this is where we come to play.

How old is he?

Well, if you ask him,

he's about five and three quarters.

But he's really about

five and a half.

He's pretty tall for his age,

It won't be long before

you have him out in the courts

trying out for the pros.

Oh, I don't think so.

He has his heart set on

being a railroad engineer.

He knows just about everything

there is to know about trains.

Really?

You a jogger?

A runner, please.

A runner.

No, actually,

I'm an ice cream addict.

This is my penance.

Mississippi one, Mississippi two,

Mississippi three, Mississippi five,

Mississippi six, Mississippi eight,

Mississippi 10.

See you around. Take care.

Nice to see you again.

Tim!

You in for it now.

Because I got some sh*t in my truck

that's going to get

rid of all you asses.

When I get through using this sh*t,

you're going to wish you never

ran into the George Foskins.
