- What am I gonna do? What? What?

- What sayest thou?

- What wilt thou do?

- Oh!

- Come on.

- All right. Let's go. Come on.

- Where dost thou go?

- Let's go.

F***in' knave.

[ Man ] # Years ago I lost my guard

Ever since it's been hard #

#Standing up like a man #

#Like a father

Understand #

# That all I do is not enough #

- #For myself I am tough #

- Dude, where is this place?

- It's coming up.

- # On myself I need to freeze #

- Here.

- #I need direction, ah, please #

#Show me all the rules, girl #

- #I just wanna get 'em wrong ##

- Thank you.

##[ Speakers:
Muzak ]

Can't we just this once enjoy

a nice meal like normal people?

- No.

- [ Sighs ]

- You can't fool people into loving you.

- Wanna bet?

[ Victor Narrating ]

Somebody saves your life...

- [ Gasps ]

- they'll love you forever.

- [ Choking ]

- It's like the old Chinese custom.

They feel responsible.

They'll write.

They'll send birthday cards.

Play it right, even cash.

Unless you let yourself get rescued by

some busboy who brings down 350 a week.

Hey.! That's mine.

So, who's it gonna be tonight?

How 'bout you, honey?

You feeling heroic?

Uh-oh. Swatch.

[ Man ]

Okay. Come on.!

There he is. You and me,

we're about to be friends for life.

- Come on. Come on, come on.

- Who knows? This might be

the greatest day of their lives.

- [ Gags ]

- One heroic deed thatjustifies

their entire existence.

- [ Gasping ]

- They grab you and hold you.

They rock you softly in their arms.

All right. It's gonna be all right.

And before you know it,

you're their child.

- [ Sobs ] You're okay.

- You belong to them.

- Yeah.

- [ Applause ]

- Okay.

- You see this? This is my favorite part.

- Hey, Kim.

- Hi, Victor.

- How art thou?

- That's funny.

- That's very funny.

- Proceed.

[ Buzzer Buzzing ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Victor Narrating ]

Mrs. Novak is an undresser.

That's why she gets the special pantsuit.

Other patients express themselves

through art...

which can also be disturbing.

Eva here is what you call a squirrel.

Colin? Oh, Colin, is that you?

What do we have tonight, Eva?

Hmm. Roast beef.

That's not doing you any good

in there, now, is it?

You hurt me, Colin.

You hurt me, and I'm telling Mother.

- That might prove challenging.

- You touched my woo-woo.

I definitely did not touch

your woo-woo.

[ Victor ] If it wasn't for that chip in her

bracelet, she'd follow me around all night...

- squawking about her poor woo-woo.

- [ Beeping ]

St. Anthony's is what you call

a constant care facility.

It's for loony broads of all ages.

But mostly,

it's where grannies get dumped.

You see that look shejust gave me?
