Armchair psychology's

not enough.

Look, Professor, I got friends

who've been going for years.

They still eat birdseed.

So you're not a talking doctor.

Eddie's got confidence in you.

And it's very important to me.

I don't know. All I know is,

you tell me what to do,

and when I do it,

I feel better.

If you were to tell me to jump off a

building, I'd take off like a jet job.

You remember what you told me

about physical therapy? Look.

I even got a sports catalog. It's got all

the stuff George and I need for our vacation.

Acapulco,

here we come!

See, here's the flippers down

here... and the underwater masks.

Sure, it's got everything for skin

diving. Boy, these snorkels look good.

Where's the, uh, harpoons?

Sharp prongs.

Gruesome.

Even on paper, it makes me sick

when I think of the poor fish.

Eddie, there you go again. Now

why did I recommend skin diving?

I told you,

the fish are cold-blooded.

This I want to hear straight

from the fish's mouth.

All right,

I'll arrange a meeting.

You know, these elastic-driven

harpoons are effective,

but the ones with the carbon

didioxide have more power.

"For big game fish-

Rust-proof, non-slip handles. "

Yeah, but look at

that crazy price.

What do they think we skin

divers are? Millionaires?

Relax, George. I met a sporting goods

salesman. Sold him a watch wholesale.

In return, he's showing his

appreciation by giving me his cost.

Pick it up.

That's for you, Ed.

Eddie, baby! Chickie!

How's the livin' doll?

Gee, I've missed you. How long

you gonna stay this time?

Till I get some business.

Oh, don't you work too hard.

You're lookin' real good.

How do you like that? I own

the joint. I pay the salaries.

Nothin' like that

ever happens to me.

That's because

you don't sell jewelry.

You better be careful, Eddie. Kotty

must have her eye on something.

Chickie can have

anything I got. Wholesale.

You extravagant boy! Eat your

hamburger before it gets cold.

I gotta get going, Kotty. I'll

walk you out. Be right back.

Take your time. You will anyway. Put the

coffee on my tab, George. See you soon.

Don't worry. I'll be around for

some more of those free treatments.

Attaboy, Eddie. Bye, Slob!

Good night, Professor.

What do ya say, Kot?

Hi, Artie.

Hey, how's the doll?

Floating, Pepe.

Va, va, va, voom!

Hey, you guys,

cut it out!

What's the matter with you?

We were only lookin'.

Well, for your information,

this ain't no museum.

Really? Then how do you explain those

antique French doughnuts you serve?

Oh, very funny.

Hiya, fellas.

How's the chicken business?

It's for the birds.

What do you say, Slob? What could

he say that would be interesting?
