Bernie: Good news, champ! It's clearing up! Let's get going! Zonker: Actually, Bernie, I wouldn't mind a day off. Bernie: What do you mean, a day off? Stop talking like a crazy person. You have commitments. Zonker: I'm also sore. And tired. Bernie: Zonker! You start your exhibition season in exactly ten days! You have eight bookings in L.A. alone! And what about your benefit appearance at the Special Olympics tan fest? You want to peel in front of 1,000 kinds who idolize you? Zonker: Okay, okay, let me just get some fluids in me.
