Melvin 'Mel' Cooley : [Rob is on the phone saying he has a problem] Problem? Problem? What kind of a problem? What happened? What's the matter with the show? Couldn't you finish the sketch? What? What? What?
Rob Petrie : Mel, I need some tickets for this week's show.
Melvin 'Mel' Cooley : Tickets? Is that all? Rob, I'm surprised at you. Do you realize that I almost took an aspirin?
Rob Petrie : Gee, Mel, I'm sorry. That would've been awful.
Laura Petrie : What's awful?
Rob Petrie : He almost took an aspirin.
Melvin 'Mel' Cooley : How many tickets do you need? Two? Three? Four?
Rob Petrie : Heh. Mel, as a matter of fact, I need 44.
[Mel doesn't respond]
Rob Petrie : Mel? Mel?
Laura Petrie : What'd he say?
Rob Petrie : I think he took the aspirin.
[turns back to Mel on the phone]
Rob Petrie : Mel, now, look, what's the most I can have?
Melvin 'Mel' Cooley : Four.
[pause]
Melvin 'Mel' Cooley : Now, Rob, if you wanted that many tickets, you should've spoken to me weeks ago. Now, you know how popular our show is, how people are constantly clamoring for tickets.
Rob Petrie : I know, Mel. I heard the clamoring. All right. Thanks a lot, Mel. Bye.
[hangs up]
Rob Petrie : That's four. Now all we need are 40 more tickets.
Laura Petrie : And if we don't get them?
Rob Petrie : [sarcastically] Oh, no problem. We'll change our names, sell the house, and move to a new neighborhood.
