You could still keep her around of a little of things like cooking your meals or having your kids No, no, but squally. I'm a better offer not to sleep in the rest of my life All right, Luigi, you made you own a bed, but now you can't sleep in it Look on yourself in the mirror. How you look how many hours asleep did you get last night five? Some of times I'm asleep before sometimes there's only three sure then is it gonna be two then a one And then you're gonna sell you bad to grow a tail and start taking a catnapse under the table I'm not trying to scare you is it just that I can see a terrible a finisher for you Listen, I once I had a customer Joe Malone. He had the same trouble Once he couldn't asleep for for 28 days the doctors. I had a seventh Africa for a cure Africa that's so where he got bit by the terrible a tsu tsu fly But how's it that the cure to him the tsu tsu flies to give him a sleep in a sick That's pretty terrible, huh Luigi believe me marriage is your best bet. Well, thank you pick Rosa or the tsu tsu fly What's your answer? Well, I'm I don't know. I'm gonna never met the tsu tsu fly Oh Bye Please I'll call the roll mr. Vasco. I'm a here Mr.. Vasco, you will do your sleeping at night at home, please Well, I'm a mother either miss pulling but what is impossible what let him yawn miss budding It ain't often Luigi gets a chance to open up his mouth in the classroom That was terrible witty Well, anyway, it was terrible Please let's get on with the lesson. It's a little late today. We are studying irregular verbs Mr.. Horowitz named the three principal parts of all irregular verbs with pleasure the present tense the past tense and The past participle well, that's very good. Mr.. Horowitz this I won't argue with you All right, we'll study some birds now. Mr.. Olsen take the verb to drink present tense Hey, drink mr.. Vasco. Hi drink mr.. Schultz. I I have drunk. Oh, no never touch the stuff Please let's take the verb sleep now mr.. Schultz begin nicely mr. Olsen. Hey, Mr.. Vasco. I can't asleep Mr.. Vasco, what are you talking about just say I have slept maybe you but not to me Oh good heaven and I was quite a says I'm not gonna sleep unless I'm a letter Gina from the one I'm a go to Africa for the two to do fly Are you for shimmers? Oh, at all of you, please Mr.. Vasco, you do look pale and tired. Don't you feel well? I'm just a can is can to sleep a miss falling at solid that's just insomnia, Luigi. I Wouldn't lose any sleep about it Luigi take my advice tonight when you go home take a hot bath and a little hot tea with lemon before you go to You'll sleep like a baby and you know how a baby sleeps open screaming every ten minutes I Got the remedy. You take take half a dozen detective stories to bed with you and just keep on reading And then I'm gonna fall asleep. I guarantee by eight o'clock in the morning. You'll be dead to the world Luigi there is only one way to boo slumber Concentration you you close your eyes and let your mind become a total blank Then you just let yourself drift into the arms of Morpheus Unboxable. Luigi's got a single bed Luigi sleep sleep ain't so important look look at Napoleon. He only slept three hours a day Mama, is this a trauma spotting well according to history? It is Napoleon is only slept for three hours a day I'm a wonder why he's a did this Josephine used to hug the blank head Hey, wait, wait, didn't Thomas Edison sleep only two hours a day. That's what they tell us Mr Howard Edison only two hours a day Yeah, but with Edison it was different the electric light kept him away Stop going Luigi sleep ain't so important as long as you are happy Oh, oh Schultz medically speaking you are mistaken after today's activity the human body needs to recuperate Yeah, but still also consider the immortal words of Shakespeare to sleep Perchance to dream There's the robber Sounds like a Turkish bar If it bothers you so much, then you got to do something about it. That's all I suggest you go to see a doctor, Mr Basko slightly now. When did you have your last check up a veggie? How do it some I don't remember? What was the doctor's name? Well, he's an emu as a Salvadori de Lorenzo But go back and see him again. Go tomorrow. I can't the Schultz. No, I know his office is in Italy Well, that's one good reason Miss Barley you think I'm I'm sure gonna say the doctor Well, I should think so mr. Basko insomnia may be caused by some physical disturbance as well as mental and only a doctor can give you the fact Uh-huh. That's so what it is. Uh-huh. Then what the doctors are gonna do it to me. Stop worrying. Luigi is not gonna hurt you Of course, but what what can he do to you Luigi? Can he bang you on the knee with a hammer? Can he take out a few drops of blood to analyze? Can you stick a needle in your welly? Can he Schultz it was certainly? Believe me if you don't need a doctor when you walk in he makes sure you're gonna need him when you walk out If with Luigi here's a suggestion that may be a help to your success and popularity Make it a regular custom to chew wriggly spearmint gum at least a few sticks every day You see regular daily chewing is an easy pleasant way to help keep your teeth clean and bright your smile attractive Then to chewing wriggly spearmint gum freshens your mouth and helps keep your breath sweet So you naturally feel more sure of yourself at work and in your social activities Yes friends bright attractive teeth and mouth freshness are important to all of us So make it a point to chew refreshing delicious wriggly spearmint gum at least a few sticks every day It's a wise thing to do and besides you'll enjoy it Now let's turn to page two of the Ouija Basco's letter to his mother in Italy I'm gonna come home from school last night, and I'm with the side. I'm gonna try to sleep So right away. I'm gonna drink a hot cup of tea. What is it? No help. So I'm gonna start to drink in the coffee But that's no help for me to sleep. I need them Finally is a come of the morning and I'm gonna think maybe I'm sure to go see a doctor when suddenly my door is open up Well, how's the mr. Night Owl of this morning?
