Thanks for the loan, Mr. Thompson.

This is a good boy.

There must be something I could do.

Ma'am...

rubbing my crotch under the desk

won't change my mind.

I'm not rubbing

your crotch.

I really need that car.

I don't see

how that's my problem.

This is a robbery! Nobody move!

Everybody stay down!

Stay down!

- Get down.

- Come on, Lady! Hurry it up!

- Oh.

- Come on, move it!

Oh, hey, I made the same mistake

before when I came in.

Thanks.

You idiot! You let him get away

with our money!

I don't see

how that's my problem.

- Oh, man!

- Wow.

Come over here!

You've got to see this.

Let me through.

Let me through.

Oh, thank God. I thought something

terrible had happened.

Well, an old guy did

get shot over there.

Uncle Albert! Just try to breathe.

I can't.

You're kneeling on my balls.

Oh, sorry.

Rick, listen.

With great power comes...

Great responsibility?

I was gonna stick

with b*tches,

but if you want to be a virgin

for the rest of your life...

Uncle Albert!

My balls!

Very good.

Oh, God.

Mr. Landers!

Oh no.

Okay.

Hide the body.

Hide the body. Yeah.

Get in!

Yah! Yah!

Okay, I come back.

Jill?

I came as soon

as I heard.

- Where's Aunt Lucille?

- She's at home under heavy sedation.

They made her watch three hours

of women's basketball.

- This is all my fault.

- Rick, it was an armed robbery.

There was nothing

you could've done.

I could've stopped that guy

before he shot my uncle.

Then there is blood

on your hands.

But that's not important. All that matters

is that you're here for him now.

- Rick Riker?

- Yes?

Dr. Whitby.

I've run some tests.

I'm afraid I have bad news.

What is it?

I have an impacted colon.

Whew.

What a night.

Now what brought you

here today?

- My uncle.

- Your uncle brought you?

- No, he's gravely injured.

- Well, then he shouldn't be driving.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I have to perform a breast exam.

Doctor, please.

Is my uncle gonna survive?

Well, I don't know.

We should probably have a look.

Hard to say.

Yup, pretty deep coma.

Is he gonna be okay?

Well, I'm not a betting man,

but if you want to put some money on it,

- I'll take "dead in a week."

- Oh my God!

No, it's all right.

It's a normal emotional reaction,

but this should take

the edge off of it.

Here we go.

Nice and easy.

- That's your vein.

- Yes, I know.

First my parents and now this?

I'm nothing

but a screw-up.

Yes, your life has been

a testament to that.

But your uncle believed

in you and so do I.

It's never too late to become the person

you're meant to be.

Rick.

Rick.

Rick.

Hello, Rick.

Who are you and how

do you know my name?

- I'm a psychic.

- Prove it.
