two, three. Uh, um, you did it again, Pokey. You landed on Brandon's property.

St. Charles Place with a hotel and two houses.

I owe you $1 ,500.

Okay,

$1 ,800.

the way he always hides his money.

Six.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Reading Railroad.

I'll buy it.

Okay, but it's Reading Railroad.

No, it isn't. It's Reading.

But it's pronounced Reading.

Like the town of Pennsylvania?

The town of Pennsylvania is pronounced Pittsburgh.

Hold on, English. English just... in.

Monkey, did you take out the trash?

In a minute.

Monkey, I've asked you a hundred times to take out the trash, and every time

say, in a minute.

Now, I don't want to hear that anymore.

So take out this trash.

Capisce?

Go ahead, punky. I have homework anyway.

I have a lot of reading to do.

Here you go.

I trust you still remember the way to the chute?

It's burned in my memory.

Careful, the bag might... break.

I told you not to buy these cheap old bags.

You should have bought the Tom Bodley bags.

Oh, Walter Dennis.

Even a bossy bag would break if it's brutally abused. Now re -bag it, Bunky.

mean, Punky.

Yes, sir.

Henry?

What was in this medicine bottle?

Oh, that? Oh, sleeping pills. That reminds me. I have to get a refill.

Since when have you been taking sleeping pills?

Well, since that time I sprained my back and couldn't sleep, remember?

Henry, that was six months ago.

How often do you take these?

Well, I never thought about it. Not often.

Once a night.

For six months?

Henry, you're hooked.

I am not hooked.

I just take them to help me sleep.

And what happens if you don't take them? Well, I have trouble sleeping and...

You're hooked!

Funky, this is not a just -say -no meeting, and don't create a problem

none exists.

Yo, everybody deep? Hi, Betty.

Henry, I went by Food Giants and picked up that brown sugar you wanted. Thank

you, Betty.

You know, it's kind of ironical, because that was my nickname in high school.

Food Giant?

No.

Brown sugar.

as you used to call me.

Of course, these days a lot of that sugar is settled to the bottom of the

Sit down, Betty. You've come at the perfect moment.

I need your help to put Punky's mind at ease.

She's worried because I'm taking a few sleeping pills.

Well, how many is a few?

Just one a night for six months.

Punky, Mrs. Johnson is a registered nurse and a medical expert.

Will you accept her opinion?

Sure.

What do you think?

You're hooked.

Ignore her. She's a quack.

Henry, the manufacturer of this drug said you shouldn't take them longer than

four months.

And some doctors believe you shouldn't take them any longer than three or four

weeks. But it's very low dosage.

True. But over a long period of time, these pills can cause side effects.

Like what?

Sluggishness. Clouded thinking? Memory lapsing?

Have you had any trouble remembering things lately?

I don't recall.

This is nothing to kid around about, Henry.

You should stop taking these pills.

I'll think about it, okay?

Please, Henry.

Our teacher said that people can get hooked on sleeping pills without even

realizing it.

One last time.

I am not hooked.

Then why don't you stop?

I will.

When? Right now.

If it's so important to you, I won't take any more pills.

All right, Henry. Way to go.

It's no biggie.

Don't take it so lightly.

It may be tougher to quit than you think.

Oh, spittoonias. You're looking at Mr. Willpower.

I said I won't take any more pills.

That means I won't take any more pills.

Al's Discount Drugs?

Oh, God, it is still open.

Do you deliver this late?

Great. And what's the delivery charge?

What?

That's highway robbery.

Forget it.

drugs. I'd like a prescription refilled.

Yes, the number is 61504.

Oh, yes, I'm aware of the delivery charge.

It's most reasonable.

That's correct.

Henry Warnimont. Oh, I'm Mrs. Warnimont.

But you may call me Bernice.

I'll be back in two seconds.

Hi.

No time for a chat.

Waiting in the hall, huh?

Well, either you're a very friendly guy or you want these real bad.

Just hand it over.

Here you go.

Here's your money.

Plus a nice tip.

Ooh, a quarter.

Good night.

Good night, Bernice.

That can't be happening to me.

I'm going to try this door again, and it will open right up.

Brandon!

Brandon!

Open the door, boy.

What am I, an idiot?

The dog can't open the door.

I owe you one.

Frankie! You've got some more pills, haven't you?

Well, yes, but do you think... You said you were Mr.

Willpower.

Yes, but... Good night, Henry.

Frankie.

I honestly thought it would be easy to quit, but it's not.

It's hard.

Very hard.

Maybe I do have a problem.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

Do you want me to go and get you another nice glass of warm milk?

I'm so full of milk, I'm getting an urge to moo.

Well, maybe that'll be the glass that gets you to sleep.

Punky, it's been 48 hours.

Owls sleep more than I do.

Bats sleep more than I do.

Electricity sleeps more than I do.

Well, maybe you should go back to bed.

No. I read somewhere that if you have trouble going to sleep, the best thing

do is to get out of bed and do something else.

Uh, why don't you do your taxes?

I want to get sleepy, not suicidal.

Actually, if anybody should go to bed, it's you.

No, I want to stay up and keep you company, okay?

Absolutely not. You cannot stay up on a school night. That's that.

Henry. Tomorrow's Saturday.

Oh, right.

Is losing your mind a withdrawal symptom?

I don't think so.

Wonderful. Then I'm cracking up on my own.

hallucination.

You know, is everybody decent?

Everybody except you.

Well, it's obvious you haven't gotten any sleep. Not a wink.

Well, don't you worry. I got the answer right here. A relaxation tape.

What?

It's one of my old nursing tricks.

I use it for patients who get violent.

If you were my nurse, I'd get violent, too.

Careful, Henry.

Another old nursing trick is to drop this on your head.

All right.

What do you want me to do?

Sit down on the couch and put a pillow behind your head.

Put your feet up on the couch, Jake.

Now, close your eyes.

Do I have to?

It's either that or stare straight at my face.

Now, relax your feet and say, feet go to sleep, feet go to sleep.

Just do it, Henry.

It's important that your whole body be relaxed.

Oh, you can skip that part. I'm a speed relaxer.

Now, make believe you're on the beach.

Sun is shining.

You're real happy.

Oh, look at the waves.

Do you see the beautiful ocean?

Yes.

I have to admit, this is really relaxing.

I told you.

The sounds are so real.

I think this might do the trick if I listen to it long enough.

Thanks, Betty.

I really appreciate this.

Betty? Betty?

Are

you

cooling off any?

A little.

Why can't I sleep?

Look, Henry, I have an idea.

You used to tell me bedtime stories to get me to go to sleep. I'll tell you

I'm not in the mood for mother goose.

No, I'll tell you something a little more grown up.

Come on, close your eyes. Oh, okay.

Once upon a time, there was a photographer named Happy Henry.

And Happy Henry was loved by everyone in the village.

When we get to the grown up part.

was having lunch with Bubbles, the gorgeous model.

Better.

All of a sudden, they were attacked by aliens from outer space.

This story would give me nightmares for a month.

Too grown up, huh?

Much.

Now what?

Now, I think the time has come to throw in the towel.

What do you mean?

I've got to get some sleep.

I'm going to take a sleeping pill.

Wait, you're giving up.

Oh, only for tonight.

Honey. I have to shoot a wedding tomorrow.

It's not easy to photograph a cake when your face is in it.

But you don't have to take a sleeping pill.

Come on, we'll watch some TV.

It'll take your mind off how exhausted you are.

Come on, I bet something's real good on it.

Welcome to Lapland, home of the Laps.

Our ice fishing expedition takes place during the winter months.

Then the Nordic sun goes bye -bye.

And since television lights scare the fishes, our guides, Swinger and Norm,

be fishing in complete darkness.

There is no need to adjust your sets.

Swingo. Beat it, Norm.

It's over.

Let's turn the chair a lemon.

Night of the living dead is on.

If I want to see that, I'll look in the mirror.

Uh -oh.

Sounds like Appian Regis turning the gloomy gas.

Not for long, because...

I'm going to take a pill and turn into sleepy Sam.

No, Henry, wait.

I'm through discussing this with you.

You've expressed your opinions. I've considered them. Now I'm ignoring them.

it's been over 50 hours. If you take a pill now, you'll have to start all over

again. Don't worry about that after I've had a good night's sleep. Oh, these

stupid, child -proof cats.

hand it over.

No.

I'm warning you.

No!

Why are you being so difficult about this?

Mrs. Johnson says you've been taking...

I can't sleep, but I want you to.

And don't worry about my health.

I may creak, but I'm a long way from broke.

Frankie? Morning, Henry.

Did I actually sleep?

Uh -huh.

How long?

Six hours and ten minutes.

You've been sitting like that for six hours? Why didn't you move?

I didn't want to wake you.

Frankie.

Thank you.

Forget it, Henry. We're a team.

Six hours sleep with no pill?

Wonderful. I think I'll shower and go to work.

Uh, Henry?

Yes? Can you help me up? My whole body's asleep.
