Start: Eddie: Decided to jump off the wagon, huh?
May: What’re you doing?
Eddie: Little practice. Gotta’ stay in practice these days. There’s kids out there ropin’ calves in six seconds dead.
End: Eddie: Yeah? Well I’m gonna turn him into a fig. (He starts laughing so hard at his own joke that he rolls off the bed and crashes to the floor. He goes into a fit of laughter, pounding his fists into the floor. May makes a move toward the door then stops and turns to Eddie)
