[Balki pulls up Larry's eyelids. After a second Larry lets out a scream and they both jump a mile]
Larry Appleton: Don't you ever... EVER... do that again!
Balki Bartokomous: [clutching his chest] Don't worry!
Larry Appleton: What were you doing?
Balki Bartokomous: Trying to see if you were alive!
Larry Appleton: Well, obviously, I am!
Balki Bartokomous: And that makes me happier than a tick on a sheepdog!
Larry Appleton: Well, that makes it a red letter day for me, too!
[He gets up and starts to walk around the couch, not noticing the rope tied to his ankle, which is pulling taut]
Balki Bartokomous: Are you going to stay mad at me long?
[Larry stops just short of the rope pulling tight and walks back to Balki to answer]
Larry Appleton: No, I am not going to stay mad at you. It's just that you... you... you scared me!
[Once again Larry walks away]
Balki Bartokomous: A hero can be scared?
[Larry stops just short again and doubles back]
Larry Appleton: Oh... not... not scared... but uh... uh... surprised. Look, Balki, I know you're only trying to take care of me and I appreciate the thought, but this has got to come to an end.
[He walks away and the rope pulls taut, yanking him off his feet]
