Cocoon: The Return Page #2

Well, aren't you glad to see me?

Isn't it a custom here to hug a friend

when you haven't seen her in a long time?

Yeah... Yeah, of course.

Hey, Romeo!

D'you think you could tear yourself away long

enough to ring up my clamshell castanets?

"O my luve is like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June:"

"O my luve is like a melodie

That is sweetly play'd in tune."

Oh, Arthur, darling, it's perfect.

- D'you want me to fix us breakfast?

- No time. Gotta meet the boys and get Bernie.

- Poor Bernie.

- Oh, nonsense.

We'll get him out of that hospital

and get his blood pumping again.

- That's Joe.

- Will you miss me?

- I already do.

Goodbye, Mrs Selwyn.

- How'd ya sleep?

- Best night's sleep I've had in years.

- How about Bess?

- She slept like a baby.

- What about you two?

- Alma didn't sleep a wink.

- You're kidding?

- No.

Neither did I.

Oh, you dog, you!

You smell that?

Yeah, incense.

Maybe a Hindu runs the place.

Back here.

Come on back, whoever you are.

Believe it or not, I'm open for business!

Hiya, fellas. What can I do for you?

- Mrs Feinberg?

- Call me Ruby.

Ever try this? It delivers oxygen-enriched

blood to the pleasure centres of the brain.

It's terrific. Will you give me a hand? I'm new

at this. It's tough getting out of this cookie.

Here we go, OK? Come on, don't be shy.

Now, put me right side up. Right side up.

Easy! Take it easy, fellas. Easy. Easy.

That is great. That's it. That's it.

OK, now, you grab an ankle

and you grab an ankle.

There's the left one. Terrific.

That is it.

Great.

Oh, boy, that's terrific.

I feel sensational. Thanks a lot.

Nice little place you got here... uh, Ruby.

D'you hear that, Sidney?

It's a nice little place I got here.

Sidney was my husband.

This dump was his dream.

Unfortunately, the son of a b*tch died

and left me to live it.

- That's tough.

- Nah, it's not so bad. I just like to yak.

Now, tell me. You two on vacation or what?

- We, uh...

- Well...

...came down to see old friends.

- Oh.

Your night clerk told us to talk to you

about staying the week.

Sure thing. No problem.

This is not exactly my busy season.

- Great.

There's Ben. We better get cracking.

- See you round, Ruby.

- Count on it.

Oh, hey! Will you get a load of this sunshine?

I feel like a teenager.

- You do, huh?

- Yeah.

- Last one to the car buys dinner.

- Hey, yeah!

- Come on, slowpoke!

- You got a head start.

Where are you, boy?

Yahoo!

Hey, not bad, Superman!

We'll have to stop at a pharmacy.

If I don't have zinc oxide, I'll burn to a crisp.

So we'll stop at a pharmacy.

- Did you bring juice? I'll get dehydrated.

- We'll getjuice.

- Bernie, where you going?
