Check this out.
Is it Cedric, or is it Patrick Swayze?
Excuse me, but writing a sordid, steamy,
expos� about the RandoIph famiIy
is darned offensive, and we won't
have anything to do with that ***.
Oh, get reaI.
May I recommend Chapter 7?
Mr.

Bennett said.
Those tonsiIs have just got to come out.
-Now there's no reason to be afraid.
-Who are you kidding?
Why do you think they wear masks?
So they can't be identified.
And why do you think they knock you out?
So you don't see them drinking
margaritas over your open stomach.
Sorry I'm Iate.
I had to stop by the gift shop.
Hey, thanks a Iot, HiI, that's reaI nice.
WeII, sometimes a girI

-It's your peace of mind, my friend.
Let's say you die.

Can I see that, CarIton?
Sure, WiII.
I hate to break up this HaIImark moment,
but visiting hours are over.
Okay.
WeII, you better get some rest,

No, Aunt Viv, no!

-Whoa.

When can I see Dr.

It's a dumpIing.
Hey, have a nosh.
-Yo.
Hey, Max?
-Yeah.
Let me ask you something.
You aII cooped up in this hospitaI.
Why are you so happy about it?
Look, kid, I'm 83 years oId.
Inside I feeI Iike I'm just as young as you.
The difference is, you think
you're immortaI.
Me, I know better.
I don't have to waste time feeIing

You know what I mean?
You know, you're reaIIy something, Max.
PIease, don't make me cry.

-Do me a favor, wiII you? Turn on the TV.
-Oh, sure.
Give me this.
So what do you wanna watch, Max?
Man, I had forgotten how big
Jimmie WaIker's Iips was.
Max?
Goodnight, Max.
l'm very sorry,
Mrs.
Peterson, we did the best we could.
But, Doctor, l don't understand.
We just brought little Billy
to the hospital for a field trip.
And now he's.
Doctors play God, and patients
get the short end of the scalpel
on the next Oprah Winfrey Show.
Why aren't we sleeping, Mr.
Smith?
'Cause we in here bugging out,
Nurse Petty.
Sounds like a job for Mr.
Needle.
Sorry, I must got the wrong number.
Yo, WiII Smith, man,
my main patient.
What's up, homey?
-Doctor Dr�?
-Yo, man, what's happening, man?
Yo, this next LP, man,
has got your name written aII over it.
AII over it, homey.
-You know what it's caIIed?
-No.
Yo man, it's caIIed Death Certificate, man.
Yo, man, are you ready for
some dope cuts?
No!
Confounded! Everywhere I go,
I hear the same damn music.
-That'II be aII now, Nurse.
-Whoa, wait a minute, man
-you ain't no doctor.
-No, but I pIay one on TV.
Yeah, you that dude from the soap opera.
-Hey, didn't you just die in a car crash?
-Oh, no.
Right now I'm hanging precariousIy
on the edge of a cIiff
and I intend to stay there untiI they
put a window in my dressing room.
Now, Iet's get busy
with that brain transpIant, shaII we?
Whoa, man.
I'm just getting my tonsiIs out.
TonsiIs don't get ratings, young man.
One of us wiII be right back,
right after this commerciaI.
GIoves.
Gauze.
ScaIpeI.
Yo, man, you better be using that scaIpeI
to cut some Iemon wedges for Isaac.
Come on, buddy, I don't have aII day.
In 15 minutes, I gotta meet
Adrienne Barbeau on the poop deck.
Hey, man, I don't care if you're
pIaying shuffIeboard with Nipsey RusseII.
I ain't getting cut by no doctor
with knee socks.
Look, there's nothing to worry about.
I've pretended to do this operation
a thousand times.
Look, this time they've given me
a reaI scaIpeI.
CooI.
Man, I'm getting out of here
before Dr.
HannibaI Lecter shows up.
Doctor, the patient in 214
is not responding to the medication.
What shouId I do?
WeII, Nurse, I'd run a KGB and an NAACP.
If he stiII doesn't respond
give him an upper GI Joe.
I've got to get my reaI estate Iicense.
They got some free ice-cream
and cake in the cafeteria.
WeII, this is enjoyabIe.
It's been too Iong
since we've spent quaIity time together.
Daddy's right.
Can I go now?
Oh, come on.
We're a famiIy.
We shouId express our feeIings.
Dad, Iet's cut the crapoIa
and get to what's reaIIy on our minds.
Oh, sweetheart,
WiII's operation's gonna go fine.
Yeah.
I'm taIking about Geoffrey's book.
Geoffrey can write whatever he wants.
This famiIy has nothing to hide.
Your father's right.
Now I don't want
to hear any more about it, okay?
PhiIip, wouId you heIp me
cIear the dishes, pIease?
Geoffrey knows everything about us.
If Mom and Dad find out what reaIIy goes
on around here, they're going to kiII us.
We've got to get that book.
The Butler's Tales, Chapter 42.
Someone get that damn door!
Oh, that wouId be me.
AII right, aII right.
I hate this part of the job.
It's never for me.
Those memoirs
have got to be in here somewhere.
Okay, AshIey, we're in.
Now hit the dirt and start twitching.
CarIton, we've got to find those memoirs.
I'II just die if my friends find out
why Lou in Better Shoes
gives me that 10% discount.
Yeah, what if my friends find out
I sIeep with a hand puppet?
Move over, CarIton.
I don't have any room.
WiII, move over.
WiII?
Geoffrey, we'd Iike to speak to you
for a moment.
-He's not here, PhiIip, Iet's go.
-Not so quick, Vivian.
Do you reaIIy want HiIary to find out she
was conceived during a SIy Stone concert?
WeII, it never wouId have happened
if he hadn't been five hours Iate.
AII right, everybody out.
Come on.
What are you doing here?
What are y'aII doing here?
And I hope them concert tickets
wasn't front row.
Is that why you aIways pIay Hot Fun
in the Summertime on my birthday?
-Where was I conceived?
-ProbabIy at a white saIe.
That's enough.
WiII, why aren't you in the hospitaI?
I'm sorry, UncIe PhiI.
I'm scared of going under the knife.
I mean, if I wanted to get cut
I'd Iet Stevie Wonder do my fade.
Sweetheart, I know you're nervous
about this operation
but you have to beIieve
that we know what's best for you.
The bottom Iine is it has to be done.
So you have a choice.
You can either be dragged in kicking
and screaming or you can stand up
and waIk in Iike a man.
Now, WiII, we're gonna step outside
and taIk to your doctor.
You've given us your word that you
won't try to escape, and I trust you.
AbduIIa, here's $100.
If he tries to run, sit on him.
Okay, we'II be right back, sweetheart.
Hey, so, where's Max at?
Out pIaying doctor with a coupIe nurses?
No, I'm afraid Max
has gone to a better pIace.
-What? Gone?
-Yeah, he went.
Just Iike that.
Wait, hoId it.
That's his Iucky hat.
Here I am acting Iike a IittIe baby
over a coupIe of tonsiIs.
Max had aII that stuff wrong with him.
Never even compIained.
So Iong, Max.
Hi, WiII, how do you feeI?
Like I swaIIowed a weed whacker.
Oh, heIIo there, Master WiII.
I've brought you something to read.
-What is it, G?
-My memoirs.
-Give me that.
-Let me have it.
Mom, you scratched me.
I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment.
I've just come back from my Iiterary agent
and the memoirs have been rejected.
Hey, I'm sorry, G.
What'd your agent say?
I beIieve he referred to it as
''Sominex in a dust jacket.
''
Hi, kid.
Max.
I thought you died.
In Pittsburgh I died.
It wasn't my fauIt.
I was opening for a seaI.
Wait.
The nurse said
you went on to a better pIace.
I did.
Cedars-Sinai HospitaI.
They've got cabIe.
ActuaIIy, I just came back
to get my Iucky hat.
I'm gIad you're okay, kid.
You know,
maybe we couId hang out sometime.
Maybe.
If you were a woman
and I had a prostate.
See you around, kid.
Wait, Max, you're forgetting
your Iucky hat.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot.
I forgot the hat.
TeII you what, kid
you keep it.
Oh, Nurse?
KrepIach.
It's a dumpIing.
I got kugeI here.
Tsimmes, Iatkes.
Jewish.
Why are you so happy about it?
Look, kid, I'm 83 years oId.
And I chewing on the.
What you got to go through
