and everything we got belongs

to him. But we ain't got nothin'.

That's the way pals work.

Yeah?

Sure. Come here.

Hey! What a funny way

to wash his teeth.

He's drowning himself again!

- Now you gotta stop this nonsense.!

- I wanna go home.

Y- You can't.

Your clothes are all wet.

Then I'll go home and get

some dry ones. Wait a minute.

Now, you stay here

and get a good night's sleep.

I'll go over and fetch your things

in the morning.

Well, I'm too tired

to try anything else tonight.

That's right.

I'll get a fresh start in the morning.

What's the matter with you?

Aw, stop!

You're always complaining!

Come on! Get your things.

Come on in here.

Come on, come on.

Stop this nonsense.

Oh. Would you do me a favor? What's that?

Could I have a drink of water? Water?

No, no, no.

You go to sleep.

Hey. He's sleeping on my side of

the bed. Where am I gonna sleep?

You won't be needing it. We'll

have to sleep in two-hour shifts.

I don't trust this guy. You

mean, you're afraid he, uh...

Mm. We'd better

keep our eye open.

Come here.

It's pretty near 11:00.

Wake me up at 1:
00.

You're on the first shift.

On the first shift. Mm.

You kidding? Ohhh!

Shh.

Psst, psst, psst. Psst, psst. Mm.

It's 1:
00. My turn.

Come on. It's 3:
00.

Yeah?

3:
00. Yeah.

Boy, I sure needed that sleep.

Sure. That first two

hours is always the best.

Shh. Shh. Shh.

It's 5:
00. You know, I'm a

little tired and I don't know why.

Come on. Get some sleep.

You'll feel better.

Okay.

7:
00.

Already?

Yeah.

You have a good sleep?

Just wonderful.

Clock says 8:
00.

Get some fresh air.

Psst. Hey. Hey, you.

What do you want now? The clock

says 8:
00 and it's dark out.

It shouldn't be dark when

it's 8:
00. How would you know?

You've never been up

at this hour.

That's only four times.

Hey! Hey, you.

Huh?

The clock says 8:00... Listen, I don't

get up until 9:
00. Now leave me alone.

I know, but the clock says 8:00

and the church steeple rang four times.

So in another hour, it'll

ring five times more. Yeah.

Five and four is nine,

so I've got another hour so sleep.

Now, go away from me.

Psst, psst.

You were right before.

The clock just struck 9:00.

My turn.

I tried to tell you that.

I gotta go over toJoe's place

and get his things. Uh-huh.

Ahh.

Whew.

Where's his key?

There we are.

Now, you watch out

forJoe there. I...

Get up outta there.

Get up!

Get up and don't wake upJoe.

My shift comes awful fast.

Never mind that. I can't even trust you. As soon as my

back is turned, all you wanna do is sleep, sleep, sleep!

Don't you get enough sleep?

Come here. Take that key. You go over

toJoe's place and get his things for him.
