of my neck,

and it started getting larger,

so I was worried

and I went to the Sisters of Jerusalem

to have them take a look at it.

They said it wasn't anything, but...

uhhh... they're operating tomorrow.

That's okay. Probably nothing. Don't worry.

Is that what's concerning you?

Yes, that's part of it.

Oh, call it women's intuition,

but I have the feeling that there's

more to it than they're telling me.

Now, look, you're gonna have

the operation tomorrow,

there'll be no lump,

and everything will be fine.

Are you sure?

Believe me. My predictions are infallible.

Yes, your predictions.

I know you and your predictions.

Yeah.

Oh, Harry, I mean, it's just such a...

it's such a waste.

It's so phony. You have so much

and you just throw it all away.

Look, kid, you used to push the buttons

and you used to pull the levers, remember?

But I did it for fun, and it went on and

on, and it wasn't coming to anything.

Karen, don't try to change me.

"Pick a potion" Erskine-- that's me.

Harry's the name and Tarot's the game.

You know, Harry, it's good to see you.

It is really good.

That's what they all say.

We're going downhill.

- Oh, really?

[man] Cracked crab.

Nice, cold beer. Shrimp cocktail.

What have you been doing

since Independence Day?

"Independence Day"?

It was closer to slave labor.

Right.

She hasn't sold you

down the river yet, huh?

What river?

Any river.

Have you been seeing

anyone interesting?

Oh, yeah. I've had a couple

of wood nymphs,

I've had one banshee, 3 mermaids,

and you know something, Karen...?

I've missed you.

I've missed you too.

Harry, could you open this for me?

Thank you. Place looks nice.

Glad you like it.

- It's so neat.

It's been a long time.

Yeah.

You know, I think, uh,

I ought to see what those Tarot cards

have to say about us.

Harry? Harry, let's not do the cards.

I don't even believe in that.

Come on. Just one time.

Just once.

- Right. Let's just do it once.

Okay, here we go.

Hmm. Hmm.

That was just a practice.

Let me do it again.

There, that's better. I know what I've

got to do. You've got to cut them. Once.

Like that?

Now let's go.

Well, what... what does that mean?

How would I know what it means?

If I did, I wouldn't be doing it.

Tell you what.

Let's forget about the cards.

I'll tell you one thing: I'm gonna

see to it that everything is all right.

Tonight.

Matter of fact, in a couple of seconds.

Pana... wichy... salatoo...

[Karen] I'll call you as soon

as they let me, all right?

[Harry] You know, I can wait around here.

I've got nothing to do today.

No, listen, what would Mrs. Herz

do without you?

She wouldn't be able to get her foot
