Besides, chet Said this was the best Chili dog in town.

Yeah. Well, Chet isn'’t exactly

A cordon bleu gourmet.

These are really good.

Fantastic.

Man!

Chet was right For a change.

These are incredible.

Man, whoever buys this Is gonna have a gold mine.

I think I just figured out what Idiot we were talking about.

Oh, come on. I'’m serious.

Look, properly run, This place could be a gold mine.

Yeah. A very unsanitary gold mine.

But they do have Good hot dogs.

They sure are.

I wonder who'’s on the 10.

Grant?

Mccall...Yeah.

Where can I put him? He'’s here from the jail Detention.

What'’s wrong?Gunshot wound.

I fell on some broken glass. There was this dude shoot...

Save it. This is a hospital Not a court room.

Come on, I'’ll show you.

Let'’s go.

Doctor in treatment 1.

Listen, lady, You'’re wasting your time.

I wanna go back To detention.

Don'’t give the lady Any problems.

Because nobody'’s Gonna open up my leg.

And nobody'’s gonna take Anything out of it.

Tell him not to touch me. Nobody'’s gonna look at this.

What'’s the problem?

He was burglarizing An auto parts yard.

The owner surprised him And shot him when he ran.

We caught him after He climbed over the fence

And collapsed In the alley.

I wasn'’t in that yard.

I was headed down the alley When I heard the shooting

On the other side Of the fence.

[ sighs ]

And I cut myself When I hit the ground.

All right, un-cuff him And wait outside.

No, doctor...Look, he'’s not gonna Go anyplace.

I'’ll show you Where you can wait.

All right, lie down.I'’m not lying down.

Look, I'’m your doctor. Everything you say to me Is confidential.

Nobody can force me To testify against you.

Now, lie down and let me Take a look at that.

So, we can see What you'’re facing.

Gunshot wound.

Looks like a .22 caliber.

What happened?

I needed a new clutch

And the old man Wouldn'’t give me credit.

I gotta keep my truck Running for my business.

Have you ever been In jail before?

But they can'’t get me On this one without the bullet.

Looks like they Got a pretty good case

Against you even Without the bullet.

It'’s the only Evidence they have.

Without it, it'’s just my word Against the old man'’s.

In couple of days, I'’ll be fine. Out on detention.

You go back to detention With this bullet in your leg

And the only way you'’ll Come out is on a slab.

What are you talking about?

That bullet'’s in the vicinity

Of the femoral artery.

That'’s the one that carries Most of the blood to that leg.

I'’m surprised you didn't rupture It just walking in here.

You go back to detention, I'’m willing to bet

That bullet will Sever the artery.

Fine. Then you can treat me If that happens.

I'’ll take my chances now.

If that artery severs It will be a gusher.

Chances are you'’ll bleed To death before

Anyone could get to you.

You'’re trying to scare me.

No, I'’m trying to help you.

That'’s raw exposed tissue With a foreign substance in it.

Even if the artery Doesn'’t sever

Chances are It will get infected.

And a few days later You'’ll lose consciousness.

And then we don'’t need Your permission to treat you.

Only trouble is we'’ll probably Be taking your leg off

Instead of taking The bullet out.

[ sighs ] All right, dix.

I'’ll send him up To observation.

Possible surgery.

And tell them To immobilize that leg.

There'’s a foreign substance Positioned to sever A main artery.

I'’ll send for security And take care of the Paper work with the police.

Thanks.

Hey, wait. Wait.

I would'’ve paid the old man

For his parts. Honest.

Yeah, well, tell him that. Tell the court that.

It'’s about time you started Becoming responsible For your own actions.

Will you wait?

Would you think They'’d listen to me?

I mean, believe me?

Well, you could try. It'’ll be a start.

How soon...

How soon can you Take the bullet out?

I could take it out This afternoon.

Thanks, doctor.

I mean that.

I got a plan here

That will wipe that smug look Right off your face.

No, that'’s not smug. That'’s mustard.

Look,

We have 18 guys At the station, right?

They all pool Their money together...

[ clearing throat ]

We can have it and call it "Station 51 enterprises."

How much are they gonna Have to put into this Station 51 enterprises?

Well, as near as I can figure out...

With your money and mine, Two or three thousand dollars.

You figured two Or three thousand dollars

Is gonna buy that place, eh?

Look...

All we have to do is get A second mortgage on it.

Then that way we can come up With the initial down payment.

Pretty smart, huh?

Mm-hmm.

You know what the interest Is on a second mortgage?

Who'’s gonna run the place, If you can buy it?

I'’m coming to that.

We have 18 guys At the station right?

Right.

Twelve guys are always off.

Right.

Okay.

What we do is we figure out A work schedule.

We look at All the guys'’ days off,
