It's a walking tour of Boston and it's 30 degrees outside

and my feet are throbbing.

Paul Revere's house is nowhere near here. You wanna do this?

I gotta fit in five more sites before six o'clock.

I'll never make it.

We are also standing

The old corner bookstore and the old North church.

Well, let's get going. This is it from Boston.

That's the whole tour. Seemed to fly by, didn't it?

They fond of you to Boston, the hub of New England. Yeah.

I always thought Boston was a lot bigger.

It is in the summer.

- Hello everyone. Hey, - I'm in a

wonderful mood today. I,

- I spent the weekend at an Indian film festival

that left me euphoric.

Oh,

- I love Indian films.

I mean, I remember Ford Apache just thinking about it.

Makes the hair on my arms go up.

Whoop. Look. There they go. Whoop.

We're not talking about American Indian. Hey, hey,

- That's good. That's good. But I knew this guy once

Randy Evans first baseman,

he could make his eyeballs vibrate.

And I always wanted to be able to do that.

I think he spent most of his career with Cleveland Indians.

Just thinking of it.

- Whoa.

Evening everybody. Hello.

She left me the directions here.

She have no trouble finding a place

- Norman, - You know,

I haven't seen Christie since Woodstock.

- You were at Woodstock.

- Friend of mine told me to go down there.

It was a great place to pick up chicks.

- I should have known you weren't there for the music.

- There was music at Woodstock.

- Sammy, it's ringing. - Hello?

Is Christy there? She entered a convent.

- Oh, boys, it looks like your idol has fallen.

- So what's the number over there?

Okay, closing time. Everybody out. Harry.

Harry. How did you get in here?

- Came in the back door. - I don't have a back door, Harry.

- Well then it's my secret.

- I've been serving him all night,

- Diane.

You know I don't like this slim fla man

hanging around my bar.

- Oh, Sam. It's a bit unfair, isn't it?

Anyone with half a brain can see

through his petty little scams and tricks.

- You're too kind. Thanks.

- I hope he doesn't try to pull anything on you. That's all

- Me.

It is too loud,

- Diane.

You know I like you. You're a smart cookie.

Let me help you clean up. You gotta keep the cover on this

table, you know, when you're not using it.

'cause the keep from the lights will

crack the bell. You gotta take care of it.

- Table Harry. Harry,

- I'll, I'll take care of it. Okay? You

- Can leave.

Okay, well let me save you a couple of steps with a check.

Anyway. I'll pay Sam. Okay?

- Oh, oh, thanks.

- Take care of that table.

Now

- Men can't make - Beds either.

- Okay, Sam, thanks a lot. Goodnight.

- Harry. - Harry, the bill. Oh, that's okay. I paid Diane.

Harry, I don't trust you. Oh, Sam, Diane, will you tell Sam?

It's covered. It's covered.

- You know Sam, this is my favorite time of day.

- What's that coach? Closing time?

- No, 1 37. I don't know this. Just something about it.

- I - Know what you mean. I suppose we all got our favorite

1 37 story. What's

- Your favorite time of day, Sam?

- I think, I don't know, eight 15. Nice.

- Yeah, I used to like eight 15.

I think I kind of grew out of it.

- I think if nobody minds, I'll take my lunch

- Now.

Good coach. Would you mind right down there?

Yeah. Honey. Yeah.

- I got - Some lovely roast beef or sandwich.

Oh, Carla, if

- It bothers you, I could eat in the back.

- Oh, no, no.

I was a little nauseous before, but I'm fine now. Oh, great.

You know, I'm starting to feel a little hungry myself.

Would you mind handing me my lunch there, coach.

There you go. Thanks. Thank you.

Mind if I join you, Diane? Not at all.

You know, that's another thing about pregnancy.

You get cravings. Green,

olive, red, minto.

Nice juicy anchovy.

Now you open the little anchovies mouth

with pimento stuff it into the anchovies mouth.

Now sugar,

- I, I think I've just lost my appetite forever.

- Works every time.

- You're in a pretty good mood tonight.

- Why not? Last night I was up till two in the morning

finishing off Kiir guard.

- I hope he thanked you for it.

- See the coach and George is still at it.

- Yeah, it's kind of fun. They enjoy each other's company.

- Well, it's nice to have someone your own age

to spend time with.

Been through the same fads. You've seen the same films.

You don't have to explain things.

There's a real comfort in that.

- It's too bad we're not a closer in age,

- Isn't it?

- However, six or seven years really isn't that much.

- Gee, I would've thought eight or nine.

- I find older men stimulating.

- I hope you're not talking about me.

- Oh, certainly not. You're not in the least bit stimulator.

- Hey, listen, seriously, I would not worry about your age.

You're obviously young enough to bring

that Ki Guard fellow home.

- You two think that you could put your glands on hold

- Long enough to get some work done here.

Huh?

- Excuse me. I've got to powder my nose in the men's salon.

- Hey, - You know you look a little like Tip O'Neill. Yeah.

- You know, a lot of people say that. Really?

I'm a better looking fellow than he is.

- Oh my God. You are Tip O'Neill. How do you do Ho?

I'm Sam Malone.

- You used to throw for the socks. Yeah,

- That's right.

What are you doing here in Cheers?

- Well, I'm walking down the street.

A lady stopped me, started to tell me about her philosophy

of life and philosophy of government.

And so I ducked in and thought I'd have equipment.

- Well, what can I get you? Here? There

- You are.

- Ha. Mr. Speaker,

- Forgive me for being so relentless,

but I really wanna talk just a

- Step into the office.

- What? I'll be right back. - What is it? No she won't.

- One more quick one coach. Then I really gotta run.

- Hey. Hey. Nah. What were you saying last week about that?

Do nothing. Congress down there in dc

- We're a bunch of clowns.

- Hey, you think so, huh? Yeah.

- You could take the average guy off the street

and you could do a better job.

Nah, sure. If Boza right here could probably be a

better congressman than them.

- You know I may run for office someday.

- You do that.

You're outta work too, huh?

- No, I'm a speaker of the House of Representatives.

- I'm be ridiculous.

Gotta make you Tip O'Neill and me horse's butt.

- You said it. Not me.

- Goodnight Danny. I'll be careful going home though, huh?

- Boy, that guy should chew your ear off there, coach. Yeah,

- But what a nice guy, Sam.

Hey, you know something?

That's the first person I ever met

that was actually on the Titanic. Sam.

- He survived the Titanic. I forgot to ask

- Coach.

- Why didn't you call me over?

I would've loved to have heard that story.

- What? He Sam, I figured. You heard it. You're a big boat.

It hit a nice bird bang down. It went.

- Listen, from now on,

when you hear an interesting story like that, call me over.

It's one of the joys of bartending. You want

- To hear interesting.

Forget the Titanic. Come over here. What? What? What?

Clan Clin. Tell 'em what you told me earlier. Go ahead.

- Yeah. What? What? - I know. All the words today.

Bonanza theme song.

- Go ahead, let 'em hear it. Then

- We got a right to pick a little fight bonanza on.

If anyone fights any one of us, he's gotta fight with me.

We're not a one to settle up and run Bonanza. Any one of us.

Starts a little fight. Knows you can trust on me.

- 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 1.

- We guarantee 1, 4, 4, 4, 4

- Oh oh sound.

Let me have the TV control.

- Oh, hey, - Whatcha gonna watch?

There's something extraordinary on television

- Right here. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's up?

- Game on, eh, what is it?

The Bruins. I didn't read anything

- In the,

- I think the lady singing the anthem is loaded.

- Diane, what the hell is this?

- Ners ring of the new lungs. The complete cycle. The Rold.

The Walky, Siegfried, and finally Guttered. Dumbo. Well,

- I hope they don't use that candle.

Laughter.

- Oh, coach, it's not comedy. This is opera.

Oh, I'll explain.

As we proceed now, this is the story of a golden ring

with magical powers that curses anyone

who owns it. Hey, hey, hey,

- Hey.

Wait, wait, wait. They had

that same story on Scooby-Doo Saturday morning.

Oh, yeah,

- Yeah, yeah.

But the, the dog sang a little better than that.

That's such a Come on,

- You guys not given a chance.

Now, the first three hours of your,

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- I put up with your squirting events.

It's time that you return the favor

after 10 minutes, if you aren't totally mesmerized

by its beauty, I will turn it off.

- 10 minutes.

- Very funny. - Culture's wasted on you.

Oxygen is wasted on you.

- There you - Go. You know,

that was not a very nice thing to do to Diane.

- Sam's got a point there. Well,

- She has watched a lot of sports. Yeah. All

- Right.

All right. Let's give it another shot.

- So, Chuck, how's the job search going? Huh?

- I got something, Sam, but I'm not too excited about it.

I'm a janitor at a biology lab,

but they do DNA experiments, you know,

making mutant viruses and stuff.

- Well, that sounds like a pretty good job.

- I don't know. It makes me nervous.

You know, that weird stuff floating around. I don't

- Worry about it.

I'm sure it's safe. Oh yeah, absolutely.

They keep all the right

- Precautions.

Yeah, no problem. I guess you're right.

Must be getting a little paranoid, huh?

You know, I, I'm feeling better

already. See you later. Yeah.

- Take care, Chuck.
