Well, at least he keeps The couch dusted.

Cap: gather around.

I got a little present for us.

[scoffs] Yeah. I bet.

This is two weeks'’ worth of Computer-coded incident cards.

They were bounced back from The computer center for errors.

Chet: what are computer-coded Incident cards?

These. One of the joys Of being a captain

Is that I get to fill one Of these out for every incident.

Hey, captain, You'’re not telling us That you made an error?

No. No. But somebody did.

And we'’ve Gotta correct it.

That'’s the problem With firefighting today.

Too much paperwork.

Well, it comes with The territory, pal.

Yeah. Well, explain to me,

Cap, what good these Do for firefighting.

Don'’t pose Logical questions To me about this.

Look. Look, the best way To explain this to you

Is to let you do it.

See, I'’d do it myself,

But I think you'’d profit By the experience.

Yeah.

Cap, I don'’t understand.

These are a bunch Of check marks.

Well, that'’s because They'’re computer cards.

You gotta decode them With a code book

Which you'’ll find In my desk.

Oh, cap, there'’s gotta be 100 of these things.

No, no, no. Only 62. Won'’t take you Any time at all.

That sounds Really interesting.

I didn'’t know that They had specialists

For this sort of thing. Really interesting.

I'’d kind of like to Get together with you

Would you like to have A cup of coffee with us?

No, thanks. I don'’t drink coffee.

Here you go.

That'’s your Request voucher.

I know what you want.

This is your receipt.

Save it.

Uh, see, I asked for five...

Five bags of saline, And you'’ve given me three.

Oh, that'’s our New re-supply policy.

You see, Studies have shown us

That the average Paramedic unit

Uses 2.3 bags per day.[laughs]

Um, look, I don'’t know What studies are showing.

I know that we need five Or we wouldn'’t have Asked for five...

Roy....If we didn'’t need them.

Take it easy, will you? Just take it easy. Let me handle this.

Look, let me try to explain To you what we'’re doing here.

You do have to Consider that, you know.

Yeah, well, I don'’t Think she'’s going To improve with age.

Look, she is efficient.

I mean, she isefficient. I admire efficiency.

You wouldn'’t say That if she were 50 and overweight.

[chuckles] That has nothing to...

Roy.

Look, her physical appearance

Has absolutely nothing To do with it.

Roy: yeah, right.

Besides, a girl That looks that good Can'’t be all bad.

What girl?

Don'’t worry about A thing, chet.

You'’re definitely Not her type.

Roy: yeah? I wonder Who is her type.

Oh, roy, Don'’t be that way. She'’s a sweet girl.

Well, sir, We don'’t really know.

He'’s complaining Of stomach pain.

I'’ll be okay, dr. Mccrary.

Well, marty, I'’m sorry,

But is there anything I can do?

No, sir. I don'’t believe so.

We'’re on the phone Now to the hospital.

We may have to Take him in, however.

Marty, I surmise that You'’re in capable hands.

Just lie still and do what The paramedics tell you.

Yes, sir.

If you'’ll excuse me, I'’m in a hurry

To get a specimen ready For the biochemistry lab.

John: yes.

Rampart, This is squad 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have A male patient here

Age about 28.

Patient is complaining of pains

In the lower quadrant Of the abdomen.

The vital signs are, Bp is 160 over 100,

Pulse is 120, Respiration is 24.

Patient apparently ate A half chicken salad sandwich

And some wine About two hours ago.

No, I...I ate the sandwich At 9:00 this morning.

I drank the wine Just a little while ago.

Marty: Maybe 20 minutes.

Roy: that'’s a Correction, rampart.

Patient had the Chicken salad sandwich

At 9:00 this morning...

My specimen!

What happened To my specimen?

Oh, no!

Oh, marty!

Marty... You didn'’t...

You couldn'’t have...

John: I'’m afraid he did. Didn'’t you, marty?

I thought it was sangria.

That wine was sealed In a mesopotamian tomb

2,600 years ago.

I just arranged For a chemical analysis.

I'’m poisoned?

I needed that sample To prove my theory

Of cultural integration

Between assyria and mycenae, And you drank it?

Thirty years'’ work... All gone.

All gone.

I'’m really sorry, But it'’s killing me.

All right. Take it easy, will you?

Just try to breathe easy, All right?

Rampart, the wine That the patient had

Was apparently 2,600 years old.

2,600 years old?

That'’s hard to believe.

Why don'’t you bring In a sample for analysis?

Well, rampart, That'’s impossible

'’cause he drank All there was.

Well, in that case, bring in The container in the transport.

10-4, rampart.

I think I'’m gonna be sick.

All right. Take it easy.

All right. Just take it easy, All right?

Just try to lay back. Take a lot of deep breaths.

Take some deep breaths.

Roy: sir. Sir!John: sir.

I'’ve got to Get my sample!

John: Well, sir, you'’re...

You can'’t suffocate Him in the process.

All right now. Just try to calm yourself, All right?

I'’ll contact the ambulance.

John: all right.

Take some deep breaths.

All right. You'’re gonna feel better.

You'’re gonna feel better.

Professor: Try to remember, marty.

Did it taste like honey?

Professor, please. I'’m dying.

Well, listen, did it Taste of camphor?

That would definitely Tie it in with mycenae.

It tasted vile And bitter.

Hold it. Hold it.

Just thinking about it Makes me want to...

Sir. Sir.

In the bag, marty.

Sir, will you please Let him breathe?

But I'’ve got to Get my specimen.

Fine. We'’ll see what we Can do at the hospital.

Right now, we gotta Get him in there.

Let'’s go. Let's go.

John: watch it, roy.

Professor: I'’m going in with him.

Roy: no. I'’ll tell you what.

You better follow us in, All right?

You can follow me In the squad.

Marty, what did It taste like?

Um, was it bitter?

Was it viscous?

Okay, come on.

We'’re taking him to Rampart general hospital, okay?

[sniffing]

Hmm.

2,600 years old?

That'’s what they say.

[whistles]

I just don'’t see How these symptoms Could be caused by wine.

I don'’t care How old it is.

Well, unless the liquid Leached something

From the container... But this thing'’s terracotta.

It'’s unpainted.

Joe: well, his presentation Looks suspiciously

Like gastroenteritis to me.

But I guess we can'’t rule out Some form of food poisoning.

So, give him 30 ccs of ipecac

And take a sample Of the emesis for analysis.

Okay, joe.Okay.

Marty, we'’re not certain

It'’s the wine that's Making you sick.

So we'’re going to Give you something To make you throw up.

Oh, no!

Now, look, we'’ve gotta Send it to the lab.

I know it'’s not fun, But it'’s not going To be that bad, okay?

I'’m going to have a talk With the professor.

Fine.

Professor mccrary?Professor: yes?

I'’m dr. Early.

Oh, how'’s marty?

Well, his cramps seem To be less severe.

We'’re giving him ipecac To induce vomiting.

Oh, please, doctor, I need a specimen Of that wine

To substantiate My theory of its origin.

Are you sure It was wine that he...

Oh, absolutely.

It was put in the tomb To refresh the spirits

Of the deceased In the nether world. And they always...

[groaning]What'’s wrong?

I don'’t know. It'’s my stomach.

Orderly, Get a gurney, stat.

[grunts]

Blood pressure is 140 over 90. Pulse is 90.

Respirations are 16. And temperature is 100.6.

Okay, thank you.

Did you drink Any of the wine?

Certainly not.

What did you have To eat today?

I missed breakfast.

All I had time for Was half a sandwich.

A chicken salad sandwich?

Yes, matter of fact.

Hmm. You know, The paramedics reported That marty said

That he had half A chicken salad sandwich He'’d found in the lab.

It was mine.

I assure you, doctor, I didn'’t drink any of the wine.

Well, where did you Get the sandwich?

My wife made it yesterday.

Was it unrefrigerated?

Yes. She puts it in my briefcase So I don'’t forget it.

You know, your symptoms And marty'’s indicate to me

That you'’re suffering From some mild form Of food poisoning.

You see, chicken salad, Especially unrefrigerated Chicken salad,

Can become contaminated By a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus.

And I think that'’s Exactly what'’s causing These abdominal pains.

Give him 30 ccs of ipecac.

It wasn'’t the wine?

No, I really Don'’t think so.

We'’re gonna make some tests

And we'’ll keep Both of you here

Under observation For a few hours.

What about my specimen?

Well, I'’ll have our lab make A complete analysis of it

And I'’ll send you A copy of the result.

Oh, thank you, doctor.

You don'’t know how much That means to me.

[groaning]

Take it easy.

I'’m just sorry All the wine'’s gone.

[sighs] 2,600 years old.

You know, I wouldn'’t have minded Having a taste of that myself.

[laughing]

[groaning]

Wrong. Your signature Belongs here.

Now fill it out properly.

I don'’t believe this.

Here we are standing in line. I'’ll tell you something.

I'’d rather borrow the d5w Than face her again.

I'’ve had it with her.
