It was such

a revolutionary machine.

Ooh.

Can you feel it, baby?

Oh, yeah. You got me

doing all the work.

What I didn't know

is that doctors and hospitals

would consider them

unnecessary luxuries.

I even asked the landlord

to take a picture.

So if I lost one, it was like

losing a month's groceries.

Hey, hey! Wait! Wait!

Hey! Get back here!

Hey, man, uh...

Uh, I... Uh...

Who's he?

He's that guy.

Did you forget?

Forget what?

You're not supposed to

have any of those.

seen me out there today. Uh...

Somebody, uh, stole a scanner.

I had to run the old girl down...

Whatever.

Whatever, Chris.

What the hell

"Whatever" what?

Every day's

got some damn story.

Hey, hey, Roy.

when nobody's out here?

There's dust and sh*t all over.

I'm trying to keep

a clean house.

Hey, wait a second.

Wait a second.

Listen.

Look, Linda. Relax.

We're gonna come out of this.
