Fortunately, most are harmless.
But some are very serious.
- [TV:
Announcer Continues]- He's eight years old. I asked him.
Tomorrow's his birthday.
Such a close call.
Everything could have changed.
Our whole lives could have changed.
Yeah, well, I wish somethin'
would come along and change our life.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Oh, nothin'.
Look, maybe I'm just sick and tired
of watching you show off your ass at work.
Oh, you're drunk. And you lied to me.
Get the hell out ofhere.
You want me out of here?
You got it.
You told me you weren't gonna lie no more.
That was the deal - no more lies.
Okay. Watch me go, baby.
You know, a lot of guys don't like a big ass
in their face when they're trying to eat.
Oh, pick a fight. Go ahead.
Pick a fight with me.
[Doreen Sighs]
Tell you something -
I don't know who you think would wanna
look at your sad, middle-aged ass anyway.
Don't you talk to me like that.
And don't you come back here.
I'm not taking you back no more.
You understand? No more.!
- No more I'm not taking you back!
- I'm not coming back!
- Slobberin' all over Honey like that.
- I never touched Honey!
I didn't say you touched her!
I said you slobbered on her!
- How come you don't wear your wedding ring
to work anymore?
- Oh, you're such a bullshit artist.
You're the one chippin' away
at our mansion of love, baby, not me!
Why don't you go get drunk
and pee on Irmadine's drapes again!
I'm gonna go get drunk!
I'm gonna get drunk right now, goddamn it!
[Doreen]
Look how stupid you're acting.
[Engine Starts]
What if I'd killed him?
Then what?
Oh, Pat! What are you lookin' at?
It's nothin' new!
Have a nice day.
[Announcer]
And now back to Captain Planet.
[Laughs] It's as much fun poaching
Planeteers as it is poaching elephants!
- [Car Door Shuts]
- I have had enough of this!
[TV Continues:
Sci-Fi Score]- Betty.! Chad.! It's me.!
- Your dad's here.
- Come on. Let's go.
- [Knocking]
All right! I'm coming!
- Let's go.
- Give me that.
- Betty, the key doesn't work.!
- Yeah!
Listen, don't you have any fun.
Stay up really late. Okay?
- Give me a kiss.
- Okay.
[Knocking]
You changed the lock.
Happy birthday!
- Look at this helicopter I got.! Isn't it neat?
- Cool! Come on. Make a wish and blow.
[Chad] There's a net
to catch the Planeteers in it.
It's really neat.
And there's Verminous Skumm inside.
He's one of the Eco-villains. Not a good guy.
I don't really like him very much.
- But it's neat.
- You're not all blown out, are you?
Hey, how come there's only one candle?
Mommy's .
- Sure she is.
- Shut up.
- That's what she told me.
- I'm just trying to get Mommy used to
one big candle instead of a lot of little ones.
- Is that a joke?
- [TV:
Man] How are we goingto get out ofhere?
Come on. Blow!
[TV:
Man Laughing]Wait till you discover...
- the rest of my surprises.!
- Ohh!
- You got your wish!
- What'd you wish for?
That the two of you
would get the hell out of here.
Oh, Betty, you gotta keep this wound.
It's your clock, Stormy.
You take it and keep it wound.
I want you gone
when I'm out of the shower.
[TVContinues, Indistinct]
Oof.
[Children Shouting]
Suzy, come on, boy.
[Police Radio Squawks,
Dispatcher Speaking, Indistinct]
All right, now, you go run away.
We don't want you anymore.
Go ahead.
Hey, hey, hey. Sniff this.
[Sniffs] Mm-mmm!
Look at that. It's a bone. Mmm!
All right, go get it.
[Kickstand Retracts]
[Engine Starts]
[Monitor Beeping]
[Ralph] Make sure they do
the neuro checks every half hour.
And diligent suctioning.
Mr. Finnigan.
- Yeah?
- He's resting comfortably.
That's good. We'll let him sleep.
That's the best thing for him right now.
The medfly editorial.
Not too sure about that malathion.
Nurse, can you get me some aspirin?
- It's for me.
- Sure, Doctor.
He's got a small blood clot, a little brain
swelling, but it probably won't require surgery.
He's aspirated,
but we're not too concerned about that.
- Aspirated? What is that?
- He's got some fluid in his lungs.
Listen, we'll keep
a close eye on him. Okay?
[Howard] He knows what he's doing.
It's gonna be all right, honey.
- I, uh -
- Three more.
[Man] Damn shame you can't feel safe
driving in this city no more.
[Ralph] His vital signs are good.
