00:00:01,210 --> 00:00:04,254
Cheers <i>is filmed
before a live studio audience.</i>

2
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:16,225
<i>Hi, Sam, this is Carla.
I'll be in a little late today.</i>

3
00:00:16,391 --> 00:00:19,937
<i>Eddie's down about his losing streak,
and I want to cheer him up.</i>

4
00:00:20,103 --> 00:00:24,691
<i>It may take six or seven hours.
You know hockey players. Bye.</i>

5
00:00:26,276 --> 00:00:30,614
<i>Hi, Sam, it's me.
I'm on a little break from the trial.</i>

6
00:00:30,781 --> 00:00:34,660
<i>We had some of the most
fascinating testimony today.</i>

7
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:38,372
<i>Of course,
I'm not at liberty to discuss it.</i>

8
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:41,124
<i>Suffice to say...</i>

9
00:00:44,336 --> 00:00:47,422
<i>...and the defendant
had the unmitigated gall to get...</i>

10
00:00:48,632 --> 00:00:52,803
<i>They're calling us back in.
I have to go. Love you. Bye.</i>

11
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:55,764
<i>This is Woody.</i>

12
00:00:55,764 --> 00:00:59,184
<i>Sam, I got home tonight and
remembered Diane called after you left</i>

13
00:00:59,351 --> 00:01:03,146
<i>and wanted me to give you
a message. I love you. Bye.</i>

14
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:07,693
<i>Sam, this is Woody again.</i>

15
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:12,281
<i>That message I just left, you understand
it was Diane sayin' "I love you", not me.</i>

16
00:01:12,447 --> 00:01:14,199
<i>All right, bye.</i>

17
00:01:16,118 --> 00:01:18,078
<i>This is Woody again.</i>

18
00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:21,331
<i>Don't misunderstand me,
I really like you a lot.</i>

19
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:27,296
<i>This is Woody again.</i>

20
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:31,133
<i>I've been thinkin' it over, Sam.
I do love you.</i>

21
00:02:48,627 --> 00:02:52,130
Hey, Normie? Are you gonna
do my taxes again this year?

22
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:53,548
Sure thing, bud.

23
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:58,387
Yeah, boy, I'm gonna need some help
shufflin' through these new tax laws.

24
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:00,263
What new tax laws?

25
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:08,021
Maybe I'll just short-form it this year.

26
00:03:10,899 --> 00:03:14,277
There's a little more
Eddie LeBec trade talk here.

27
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:16,071
Oh, yeah?

28
00:03:16,238 --> 00:03:19,491
Terrific. Bruins are playin'
Gretzky at Edmonton tonight.

29
00:03:19,658 --> 00:03:23,787
Boy, another chance to see Eddie
"Come on in and bring your puck" LeBec.

30
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:27,332
That zuke is a disgrace
to his teammates and this fair city.

31
00:03:27,499 --> 00:03:30,669
- Give him a break.
- It's not like we're not for the guy,

32
00:03:30,836 --> 00:03:32,504
with Carla going out with him.

33
00:03:32,671 --> 00:03:34,923
But the guy's in a slump. Let's face it.

34
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:37,217
An interesting thing about slumps.

35
00:03:37,384 --> 00:03:40,512
Statistics show they
can be grouped into four categories.

36
00:03:40,679 --> 00:03:44,808
That's right. 65 per cent physical,
17 per cent emotional,

37
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:49,438
15 per cent psychological
and three per cent dental.

38
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:53,316
Know something?
You're a walking encyclopedia.

39
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:54,609
Thank you, Normie.

40
00:03:54,776 --> 00:03:57,446
Unfortunately,
you're a talking encyclopedia.

41
00:04:03,452 --> 00:04:07,831
Recess, motions, recess.
When is this thing gonna end?

42
00:04:07,998 --> 00:04:11,501
Two weeks and the wife
hasn't even taken the stand yet.

43
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:14,588
Sorry. I missed
a couple words of testimony.

44
00:04:14,755 --> 00:04:17,549
I wanted to double-check it
with the court reporter.

45
00:04:17,716 --> 00:04:22,137
Why do you keep your own record?
They write down everything that's said.

46
00:04:22,304 --> 00:04:24,973
They don't write down emotions...

47
00:04:26,391 --> 00:04:30,020
attitudes, telling facial glances.

48
00:04:30,187 --> 00:04:33,440
Study my face. What am I thinking?

49
00:04:38,236 --> 00:04:40,280
As the foreman of your jury,

50
00:04:40,447 --> 00:04:46,077
I feel that it is my duty
to record each shred of evidence

51
00:04:46,244 --> 00:04:48,705
to give us every kernel of information

52
00:04:48,872 --> 00:04:53,502
so that we can make the thoughtful
and correct decision.

53
00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:56,463
I've made my decision.
I think he's innocent.

54
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:58,840
- Yes.
- Why don't we just tell the judge that

55
00:04:59,007 --> 00:05:03,470
- and go home?
- Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

56
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:08,308
- How can you possibly think that?
- I believed his testimony.

57
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:12,312
- Seems like a good guy.
- And he was impeccably dressed.

58
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:17,984
I can't believe that I'm hearing this.
These are your grounds for acquittal?

59
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:22,280
Well, pardon me my objectivity,
but I don't happen to agree.

60
00:05:22,447 --> 00:05:24,115
He did it!

61
00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:27,994
I'm sure of it.
I can tell just by looking at him.

62
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:29,996
- Oh, yeah?
- Yes.

63
00:05:30,163 --> 00:05:32,999
I was in a very
similar situation to the wife

64
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:36,920
in that my fiancé
has the same disarming brand of charm.

65
00:05:37,087 --> 00:05:41,216
Are you saying that
you're about to marry a murderer?

66
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:45,262
No, don't stop her. Let her do it.

67
00:05:52,102 --> 00:05:53,728
Laugh if you will.

68
00:05:53,895 --> 00:05:57,148
I'm not fooled by Mr Grand
and neither should you be.

69
00:05:58,984 --> 00:06:01,570
Ladies and gentlemen, the judge
would like you back in the courtroom.

70
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:04,030
- What's going on?
- Well, just between us,

71
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:09,119
- Mrs Grand is dropping the charges.
- What? Dropping charges? Why?

72
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:11,413
She realized she still loves her husband.

73
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:15,208
Excuse me. Would it be possible
for me to talk with Mrs Grand?

74
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,961
Are you serious? It's over.

75
00:06:18,128 --> 00:06:23,466
- I am so happy for him.
- I'm happy for us. No more jury duty.

76
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:26,678
Where are you guys going afterward?

77
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:33,226
I tell ya, the guy's a bum.

78
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:37,397
Sammy, two drafts and a Manhattan.
And who's a bum?

79
00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:40,233
- Eddie.
- Fisher. Eddie Fisher.

80
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,486
The guy hasn't had
a hit record in years.

81
00:06:44,779 --> 00:06:47,490
You better be talkin' about him
and not my Eddie.

82
00:06:47,657 --> 00:06:50,660
- Worried about the game tonight?
- Of course I'm worried about it.

83
00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:54,748
I know Eddie's had
a couple of bad games. Seven.

84
00:06:54,915 --> 00:06:58,209
Nine. Seven.

85
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,962
I've never been very good with numbers.

86
00:07:01,963 --> 00:07:05,383
I got a really good feeling
about tonight's game, you know.

87
00:07:05,550 --> 00:07:07,969
The weather's cleared, it's a full moon,

88
00:07:08,136 --> 00:07:12,682
and it's an even-numbered day and month.
He'll turn it around. You'll see.

89
00:07:12,849 --> 00:07:16,311
- I think you're right.
- Absolutely, Carla.

90
00:07:16,478 --> 00:07:19,522
Hey, I don't know
if you guys have the same feelin' I do,

91
00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:21,900
but I think it is just more
than a coincidence

92
00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:25,528
that Eddie LeBec's bad run started
when he began datin' Carla.

93
00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:30,116
- I say she's a jinx.
- Oh, come on. Hey, don't say that.

94
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:32,953
Carla's finally
found someone she really likes.

95
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:36,122
- What else could it possibly be?
- It's ridiculous.

96
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:39,626
I don't believe in that...
Frasier, come here. Listen.

97
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:42,963
Tell these guys, will ya,
that there's nothin' to the idea

98
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:45,090
that Carla might be jinxing Eddie.

99
00:07:45,256 --> 00:07:47,801
Well, Sam, technically,
there is no such thing as a jinx,

100
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:51,304
unless someone thinks there is.

101
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:52,847
Eddie's very superstitious.

102
00:07:53,014 --> 00:07:56,518
If he believes that Carla's a jinx,
it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

103
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,688
All right, so Carla's a jinx.

104
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:02,482
What are we gonna do about it?

105
00:08:02,649 --> 00:08:06,778
I don't know about the rest of you guys,
but I'm not gonna let that woman kiss me.

106
00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:10,573
Like there's a real danger
of that happening.

107
00:08:12,117 --> 00:08:14,494
- Hello, everyone.
- Oh, hello.

108
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:19,374
Well, Sam, you'll be happy to know
that you have me back full time now.

109
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,836
- The trial is over.
- Well, good. Who won?

110
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:24,963
Certainly not justice.

111
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:29,050
I'm afraid the wife decided
to drop all charges,

112
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:32,095
but I say the husband is a con artist

113
00:08:32,262 --> 00:08:36,266
who somehow managed to convince
that naive woman that he loves her.

114
00:08:37,475 --> 00:08:42,480
How can a man tell a woman that
he loves her and yet try to kill her?

115
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:45,191
I can see it.

116
00:08:46,985 --> 00:08:50,071
Sammy, could you step down
to my office for one second?

117
00:08:51,656 --> 00:08:55,744
We were thinkin' maybe someone's
gotta tell Carla she's jinxin' Eddie.

118
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:58,913
And what suicidal idiot
did you have in mind to do that?

119
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,083
- Your name kept comin'...
- No, no, no, no...

120
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:06,463
Come on, Sammy. Look, it's just for all
us guys whose lives are so damn shallow

121
00:09:06,629 --> 00:09:08,298
that we depend upon the success

122
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:10,341
of our local sports teams
to give us identity.

123
00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:13,094
- Am I right?
- No, no, no, no way.

124
00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:15,805
If you wanna do this,
then we'll do it fair and square.

125
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:18,016
We'll draw straws. Don't look.

126
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:19,559
That's fair, Normie.

127
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:22,395
Now I want the person
who has to tell Carla to know

128
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:26,483
that there's a choir job
waiting for them in Vienna.

129
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:29,819
Sorry, Norm.

130
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:33,823
Well, on the upside, Normie,
you're in for some great strudel.

131
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:37,911
Oh, damn. I've never been to Europe.

132
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,874
Listen, Carla.

133
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:46,503
A few of the guys
and I have been thinking...

134
00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:51,049
Now this probably has like absolutely
nothing to do with anything, but...

135
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:55,512
Yeah, Norm,
I've been thinkin' about Eddie

136
00:09:55,678 --> 00:09:57,931
and what's happened
to his game and all that.

137
00:09:59,140 --> 00:10:03,019
Do you think it's possible
that I could be jinxin' him?

138
00:10:05,396 --> 00:10:07,148
You? Jinxing Eddie?

139
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:11,486
That's silly. No way! No.

140
00:10:11,653 --> 00:10:13,029
Thank you, God.

141
00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:17,826
- Sam?
- Yeah?

142
00:10:17,992 --> 00:10:20,829
You don't think it's possible
that I'm jinxin' Eddie?

143
00:10:20,995 --> 00:10:23,123
- No.
- Me either.

144
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:25,166
It's gotta be somethin' else.

145
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:28,503
And when he comes here,
we're gonna figure it out together.

146
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:30,255
You really like the guy?

147
00:10:30,421 --> 00:10:33,007
I am this close to fallin' hard for him.

148
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:34,759
Oh, boy.

149
00:10:36,886 --> 00:10:39,347
- Hey, Eddie!
- Hey, Eddie!

150
00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:41,057
- Hi.
- How's it goin'?

151
00:10:41,224 --> 00:10:44,269
Well, after my last game,

152
00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:47,230
a fan sent me some new equipment.

153
00:10:47,397 --> 00:10:49,482
Dark glasses and a white cane.

154
00:10:50,692 --> 00:10:53,069
You're just havin' a slump.
You'll get out of it.

155
00:10:53,236 --> 00:10:55,697
I don't know, Sam.
I've tried everything.

156
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:59,617
I've been watching game films,
taking extra practice.

157
00:10:59,784 --> 00:11:01,327
I don't know what to do.

158
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:04,164
What did you used to do to break out
of slumps when you were pitching?

159
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:07,292
Me? Well, I drank myself into a coma.

160
00:11:08,585 --> 00:11:09,419
Did it work?

161
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,425
- Hey, Eddie.
- Hey, hey, Carla.

162
00:11:15,592 --> 00:11:17,552
Tonight's your night, I know it.

163
00:11:17,719 --> 00:11:21,181
- Yeah, well, facing Gretzky?
- Hey, forget him.

164
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:24,017
You carryin' that lucky
clove of garlic I gave ya?

165
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:26,186
Yes, he is.

166
00:11:27,645 --> 00:11:30,982
I don't know, Carla.
I'm startin' to get that choking feeling

167
00:11:31,149 --> 00:11:34,068
I get a day or two before
they send me down to the minors.

168
00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:38,448
Come on. I don't wanna hear that.
There's gotta be an explanation for this,

169
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:42,535
and we're gonna figure it out right now.
Let's take it from the beginning, okay?

170
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:46,331
- When was the last time you won?
- Well, let's see.

171
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:48,666
I think that would
be the Canadiens game.

172
00:11:48,833 --> 00:11:53,171
That's right, because I remember
that's the night we met.

173
00:11:53,338 --> 00:11:56,007
Yeah, it could have
been somewhere around then.

174
00:11:56,174 --> 00:11:59,969
Yeah, so,
when did things start goin' bad?

175
00:12:00,136 --> 00:12:02,430
Well, I guess
that would be the next game.

176
00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:06,726
Right. All right, now,
think really hard.

177
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:10,939
Have you been doing
anything different during that time?

178
00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:14,651
Eating different foods,
taking a different route to the Garden,

179
00:12:14,817 --> 00:12:17,612
buying different magazines.
Anything at all...

180
00:12:17,779 --> 00:12:22,700
No! No, nothing at all! I've been
living my life the same way as always.

181
00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:24,911
Except for one thing.

182
00:12:34,045 --> 00:12:36,464
- Eddie, do me a favor.
- Yeah, Carla.

183
00:12:36,631 --> 00:12:39,509
- Beat it!
- What's the problem?

184
00:12:39,676 --> 00:12:43,680
The problem
is we just don't work anymore.

185
00:12:43,846 --> 00:12:47,350
It's been a lot of grins, but we both knew
it wasn't gonna last forever.

186
00:12:47,517 --> 00:12:49,227
It's time to hit the pavement.

187
00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:52,438
I don't get it. I thought things
were goin' great for us.

188
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:54,148
They were, but they're not anymore.

189
00:12:54,315 --> 00:12:57,443
And I just don't wanna talk
about it, so shove off!

190
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:02,115
Okay. Whatever you say.

191
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:07,578
I'll see you around, I guess.

192
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:17,171
- Pretty gutsy thing to do.
- Gutsy, nothing.

193
00:13:17,338 --> 00:13:22,260
I'm gonna prove to all you yutzes,
and to myself, that I'm no jinx.

194
00:13:22,427 --> 00:13:26,723
If Eddie loses tonight,
it's not my fault. You'll see.

195
00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:31,227
He can stink just as bad without me
as he stunk with me.

196
00:13:34,522 --> 00:13:39,610
It's not <i>Romeo and Juliet,</i>
but it has a certain charm.

197
00:13:46,576 --> 00:13:49,912
<i>Time running out in the third period.
Still 1-0 in favor of the Boston Bruins.</i>

198
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:54,208
<i>Gretzky across the Boston line, pass
in front, rolling save by Eddie LeBec!</i>

199
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:56,419
<i>Sprawling to the front
and kicked it with his right.</i>

200
00:13:56,586 --> 00:13:59,922
- Two beers and a vodka rocks.
- Yeah, yeah.

201
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:03,384
- Is my order up yet?
- What? Carla, give me a sec.

202
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:05,386
There's people here, Sammy.

203
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:08,681
You runnin' a bar or you
watchin' some stupid hockey game?

204
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:11,934
All right, all right.
Wanna know what the score is?

205
00:14:12,101 --> 00:14:14,812
- Is Boston leading?
- Yeah.

206
00:14:14,979 --> 00:14:17,398
- Did the Otters score on Eddie?
- No.

207
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:18,775
I'm not interested.

208
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:22,653
Penalty! He calls that slashing?

209
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:25,239
Frasier,
he nearly cut Curry in half there.

210
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:28,910
Oh, Ticky-tack. It's a wussy call.
Let the guys play the game!

211
00:14:32,497 --> 00:14:33,873
Good evening...

212
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:39,796
Aren't you... Bill and Sherry Grand?

213
00:14:39,962 --> 00:14:41,297
That's right.

214
00:14:44,842 --> 00:14:46,719
What an incredible coincidence.

215
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:49,472
I was the foreman
of the jury at your trial.

216
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:51,724
Oh, yeah! The one with the notebook.

217
00:14:51,891 --> 00:14:54,143
- Oh, you noticed?
- It was hard not to.

218
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:57,688
I was keeping track of the testimony.
Diane Chambers.

219
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:01,275
Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Why weren't you at the party?

220
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,488
- Party? What party?
- The party the jury threw for me.

221
00:15:05,655 --> 00:15:07,448
I'm surprised
they would have had it without you.

222
00:15:07,657 --> 00:15:10,660
You seem so attractive and intelligent.

223
00:15:10,827 --> 00:15:14,247
Yes, well,
those qualities confuse some people.

224
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:17,583
Besides, I had to work.
But who cares about me?

225
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,294
The important thing
is you are back together again.

226
00:15:20,461 --> 00:15:23,464
Thank you. Could we maybe order?

227
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:27,009
- I'd like a glass of white wine.
- Wine.

228
00:15:27,176 --> 00:15:29,470
- What would you like?
- A Bloody Mary.

229
00:15:36,811 --> 00:15:40,314
Excuse me.
I know this is very forward of me,

230
00:15:40,481 --> 00:15:43,860
but the last time I saw you in court,
you were ranting and raving,

231
00:15:44,026 --> 00:15:46,112
calling this man a wife murderer.

232
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:51,117
It's very shocking for me
to see you with him now so blissful.

233
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:54,579
I guess I just realized
how much I love him.

234
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:57,748
I really admire you.
Your trust, your conviction.

235
00:15:57,915 --> 00:15:59,709
If you don't mind
a little friendly advice,

236
00:15:59,709 --> 00:16:01,377
I'd sleep with one eye open.

237
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:04,547
I'll get the drinks.

238
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:07,884
It's a good thing
you dropped the charges.

239
00:16:08,050 --> 00:16:10,970
I'd hate to have my fate in her hands.

240
00:16:11,137 --> 00:16:15,808
Bill, why did you have
the power saw in the kitchen?

241
00:16:20,271 --> 00:16:21,522
- Sam...
- Hit 'em!

242
00:16:21,689 --> 00:16:25,193
A white wine and a Bloody Mary.

243
00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:28,446
- Human nature.
- What?

244
00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:32,700
That couple over there.
They're the Grands.

245
00:16:32,867 --> 00:16:37,705
You remember. The case
on which I was foreman of the jury?

246
00:16:37,872 --> 00:16:40,416
Oh, right, right, right. The power saw.

247
00:16:40,583 --> 00:16:44,921
Yeah. Oh, I tell ya,
it never ceases to amaze me

248
00:16:45,087 --> 00:16:49,592
how some people can be so ignorant of
what is obvious to the rest of the world.

249
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:52,553
There's something
to be said for forgiveness.

250
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,474
In fact,
in this rather jaded day and age,

251
00:16:56,641 --> 00:17:00,811
it's nice to know
that <i>amor vincit omnia.</i>

252
00:17:01,437 --> 00:17:03,856
Love conquers all.

253
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:06,442
And I, for one,
shall not stand in its way.

254
00:17:06,609 --> 00:17:09,362
- I'm going to pay for this round.
- You better hurry.

255
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:12,990
It looks like he's about to fire up
the old Black and Decker there.

256
00:17:16,452 --> 00:17:20,206
Don't touch me! Stay away from me!
Just stay away from me!

257
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:23,334
- What happened?
- What happened?

258
00:17:23,501 --> 00:17:26,629
Why don't you check
your stupid little notebook!

259
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:31,300
So the system works after all.

260
00:17:34,095 --> 00:17:37,139
<i>Back behind Mark Messier
starting out at the center ice.</i>

261
00:17:37,306 --> 00:17:39,850
<i>Otters trail one-nothing.
They fool the goal tender.</i>

262
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:41,769
<i>Pressure really on Eddie LeBec right now.</i>

263
00:17:41,936 --> 00:17:44,772
Please, screw up. Please screw up.

264
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:49,610
Sam, I don't understand.
Why does Carla want Eddie to screw up?

265
00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:52,613
Well, you see,
if Eddie loses, then Carla wins

266
00:17:52,780 --> 00:17:55,032
because it proves
she's no longer a jinx.

267
00:17:55,199 --> 00:17:59,120
But if he wins, then Carla loses
'cause it reinforces the jinx theory.

268
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:03,040
The old boy loses, girl wins, boy wins,

269
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:05,585
girl loses, jinx reinforcement theory.

270
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:08,129
If I've seen it once, I've seen it...

271
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:14,468
<i>Still 1-0. Boston Bruins lead.
Time running out.</i>

272
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:18,014
<i>Otters bring it out to center ice.
Mark Messier across the red line</i>

273
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:20,850
<i>into the Bruins' zone.
Gives it to Glenn Anderson,</i>

274
00:18:21,017 --> 00:18:25,021
<i>cutting in front. He shoots. It is saved
by Eddie LeBec! Point blank range.</i>

275
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:27,690
<i>- Eddie LeBec with a great save...</i>
- Damn!

276
00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:30,151
<i>...wins this game for the Boston Bruins.</i>

277
00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:38,659
- Hey, Sam!
- Hey.

278
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:41,454
- See the game?
- Sure did. Congratulations!

279
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:43,331
- Thanks. It felt great.
- Yeah.

280
00:18:43,497 --> 00:18:46,000
Ever have one of those nights
you just knew you could do no wrong?

281
00:18:46,167 --> 00:18:48,002
Yeah, all the time.

282
00:18:48,878 --> 00:18:50,588
Well, twice.

283
00:18:53,049 --> 00:18:55,009
- There you go.
- Thanks.

284
00:19:00,056 --> 00:19:01,599
What are you doin' here?

285
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:05,603
Just came by for a drink. Is that okay?

286
00:19:05,770 --> 00:19:07,563
Free country.

287
00:19:10,858 --> 00:19:13,361
You know, Carla, after the game tonight,

288
00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:17,657
I figured out why you dumped me.

289
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:22,578
I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake
since I've taken so many on the melon.

290
00:19:26,624 --> 00:19:29,752
I guess you wanted to see
if you were causin' my slump?

291
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:31,962
Yeah. And guess what?

292
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:37,176
Well, it doesn't seem fair
that the girl that means more to me

293
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:41,639
than anybody else ever has,
you know, turns out to be a...

294
00:19:41,806 --> 00:19:43,057
- Turns out...
- Say it!

295
00:19:43,224 --> 00:19:46,894
A jinx! A hex, a whammy,
a voodoo, a curse!

296
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:50,481
What am I gonna do?

297
00:19:52,983 --> 00:19:54,652
You're not gonna do anything.

298
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:58,989
I'm not gonna be responsible
for the Bruins missin' the playoffs,

299
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:02,326
or for your career
going down the toilet.

300
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:14,296
Hey, Eddie.

301
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:20,010
- Knock 'em dead.
- Yeah.

302
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:24,306
And watch out for those wrist shots
low in the corner on your stick side.

303
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:26,183
Okay, you got it.

304
00:20:26,350 --> 00:20:31,272
Oh, I wanted you to have this.

305
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:34,734
- What is it?
- It's a recording of our song.

306
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,112
I thought, you know,
maybe sometime you would,

307
00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:41,031
I don't know, maybe play it,

308
00:20:41,198 --> 00:20:45,828
and think of me,
you know, think good stuff.

309
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:49,373
I will.

310
00:20:52,543 --> 00:20:54,545
Okay.

311
00:20:54,712 --> 00:20:56,422
All right, I'll see ya, Carla.

312
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:58,799
- Yeah. See ya.
- You too, Sam.

313
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:12,313
Well, for a refreshing change,

314
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,317
Carla Tortelli ends up without the guy.

315
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:20,112
This shirt's drip-dry
if you wanna give it a...

316
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:24,408
No, no, come on. It's happened so many
times my tear ducts are all dried up.

317
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:28,162
Why don't you go on home, Sam?
Come on, I'll clean up here.

318
00:21:28,329 --> 00:21:30,247
- Is that what you want?
- Yeah.

319
00:21:30,414 --> 00:21:32,666
I think I wanna be alone for...

320
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:37,129
Okay, but if you want someone
to talk to, I'll be over at Diane's.

321
00:21:38,756 --> 00:21:41,008
So, if you wanna call, just go ahead.

322
00:21:42,510 --> 00:21:44,386
Please call.

323
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:47,681
Thanks, Sam. Good night.

324
00:22:46,115 --> 00:22:50,077
- Hey, Wood, what ya workin' on?
- Cheers newsletter.

325
00:22:50,244 --> 00:22:52,413
Wood, Cheers doesn't have a newsletter.

326
00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:57,751
Well, there's a scoop.
I'll make that my lead story.

327
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:02,673
- Night, Wood.
- Good night.

328
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,509
Say, Carla, you sure you don't wanna go
to the game with me tonight?

329
00:23:05,676 --> 00:23:08,387
- I'm really on a hot streak.
- You're tellin' me.

330
00:23:08,554 --> 00:23:11,140
For the past few weeks,
you've been fantastic.

331
00:23:11,307 --> 00:23:13,767
Not bad on the ice, either.

332
00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:17,688
- Do me a favor and beat it!
- What's the problem?

333
00:23:17,855 --> 00:23:19,440
We just don't work anymore.

334
00:23:19,607 --> 00:23:22,693
It's been a lot of grins,
but we knew it wasn't gonna last.

335
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:25,195
I don't get it. I thought
things were great between us.

336
00:23:25,362 --> 00:23:27,907
They were, but they're not,
so hit the bricks.

337
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:31,452
- Whatever you say.
- I was in here a couple of weeks ago.

338
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:34,330
Didn't Carla
and her boyfriend break up then?

339
00:23:34,496 --> 00:23:38,751
Yeah. They do that before every game.
It's kind of a ritual.

340
00:23:38,918 --> 00:23:41,462
Hey, Carla, that's it! We're finished!

341
00:23:41,629 --> 00:23:44,256
- Through! Goodbye!
- Goodbye!

342
00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:49,845
Red Wings Thursday night.
See ya then.

343
00:23:53,057 --> 00:23:56,352
Superstitious little guy, but he's mine.
