"and stuff a whistle

up his butt."

Ernest is right.

This patrol is a dumb idea.

Oh, Elvira!

No.

It's time we stuck together.

Mom, Dad,

I got to go to the show...

but she's right.

We can't win.

Don't upset your father.

Ernest, I need you to help me

here, man.

Listen, what about the kids

in this neighborhood, huh?

Damn.

They took my radio and my bass.

What's going on?

Dre.

Squirrel?

Lords!

This is your initiation.

You want to be a Golden Lord?

Then get him.

Lords!

What's up, fellas?

Where's he at?

What, y'all just gonna stand

around here looking stupid?

Split up.

Come on, Dre, he ain't stupid

enough to hide in there.

You see something over there,

Squirrel?

Nobody.

All right, Golden Lords,

move out.

Come on, move out

and check every corner.

Move out, Golden Lords!

Watch it. Watch it.

I got you. I got you, OK?

All right. Let's...

Easy. OK.

OK, let's go.

Clear a path, please.

People, please,

move out of the way, please.

Keep this door open.

Come on, open the door.

- Bring him in. Is he conscious?

- No, ma'am.

- Oh, my God.

- Calm down.

He's going to be all right.

He's going to be all right.

We'll cut him right here.

Gauze.

- That's good.

- On your left.

Thank you, nurse.

Dr. Simmons,

take a look at this.

Heavenly father...

I know everything happens

for a reason...

so I'll just leave it

in your hands.

Amen.

Excuse me.

I need somebody to talk to

about my friend.

I'm worried about his condition.

What time you get off work?

I just want to discuss

his condition.

Visiting hours are over.

Good night.

You're doing much better,

Mr. Reed.

Don't try to talk.

You need your rest.

My name is Vanessa, and I'm

going to take great care of you.

Understand?

Just push the button

on the side of the bed...

and I'll be there.

Are these the same X-rays?

Jefferson, Jefferson Reed.

Mary, would you give me

the blood vial on this patient?

"Jefferson Reed."

The patient's name

is Jefferson Reed.

Dr. Jones,

you're needed immediately...

in patient

Jefferson Reed's room.

Cut the bandages away.

Oh, my God.

Let me have a mirror.

This is how I always look.

What we have here

is another case...

of a patient

being diagnosed improperly.

He was suffering

from third-degree burns...

but there isn't

any scar tissue anywhere.

Any real doctor

might assume that this is...

a rare case

of the Stromburg theory...

where badly burned tissue

has an adverse reaction...

causing the tissue to heal.

- Wrong! Wrong.

- I beg your pardon?

Wrong.

The Stromburg theory states...

that minor burns could heal

under stress, not third-degree.

Look in the book...
