- A painting party is going on at the Willis' apartment and George is not too happy about being part of it. Ralph the doorman knocks on the door and Mr Jefferson answers it. Ralph tells George That he has a message from Leroy Jefferson delivery Man, that says that he needs Mr Jefferson to do his deliveries that night because Leroy has to drive to his best friends wedding, George checks the delivery list and sees that the State mental Hospital is on the list. George sees this as the perfect way to get out of the painting party. At the " Funny Farm" as George calls it we meet some of the residents, all who seem pretty nice even if they are nutty. George arrives with a sack of laundry, the attendant who brought him in leaves, but he tells george;" These people wouldn't hurt a fly." George decides to play ping pong with one of the inmates, meanwhile, an inmate that had just checked in that night, steals Georges Coat and his sack of laundry and escapes. there is a shift change in the middle of all this, the attendants of the next shift arrive and think George is Mr Davis, the inmate who has just escaped with his Coat which had his Car Keys in it, and since George left the house with no identification, a very bad thing to do when visiting a Mental Hospital, it seems he is there for the night.
