Punky Brewster (1984) s02e16 Episode Script

Maybe the world is blind or just a little unkind.
Don't know.
Seems you can't be sure of anything anymore.
No.
You may be lonely and then one day you're smiling again.
Every time I turn around, I see the girl who turns my world around.
Standing there.
Every time I turn around her spirit's lifting me right off the ground.
What's gonna be? Guess we'll just wait and see.
-What was that? -Excuse yourself, Brandon.
It's usually Brandon, but this time I think it's the refrigerator.
I just defrosted three days ago.
-You know Henry, this refrigerator's real old.
Maybe you should get a new one.
-Nonsense.
I love this machine.
It was built in the days when they made things to last.
Maybe we should get a new refrigerator? Come in.
-Good morning! Woo! What happened Henry? Were you trying to make French toast again? -My refrigerator just blew up.
-Well, I'm not surprised.
After all, it's almost as old as you.
And there are very few things on this earth that can make that claim.
-Too bad it's a refrigerator.
If it was a person, Cherie and I could give it first aid.
-Yea.
-Well, what do you two know about first aid? -We've been studying it all week in school.
-Yea, today Mike's gonna teach us CPR.
-Well, that's wonderful, girls.
Punky, you ready to go? - Yea, I just have to get my other things.
-Hey! I have a warranty for this refrigerator.
-Warranty? Who printed it? Gutenberg? -OK now, who can explain what cardiopulmonary resuscitation means? -Explain it? I can't even pronounce it.
-Alan, I bet you didn't read your CPR chapter last night.
- OK who told? I started to read it, but I figured this stuff was for grown ups.
-No no you see, kids can learn CPR too.
-From the pictures in the health book it looks like fun.
-Yea, I bet it would make a great party game.
-Excuse me, Cherie.
You see Punky, CPR is not a game.
You could break somebody's ribs while doing it.
Now, it should only be used if a person isn't breathing or their heart has stopped.
-But wouldn't that be too late? Wouldn't the person already be dead? - Not if you administer CPR within four to six minutes.
Now basically, what you're doing is you're breathing and pumping the heart for the person until the body can do it on it's own.
-Mike, it's getting close to lunch.
Do we have to study something so gross? Not only are we going to study it my friend, but we are going to learn how to do it.
And since you happen to have so much hot air this morning, you can be first.
Cherie, you can be his partner.
-What did I do? -This is Resusca Annie and we are going to practice CPR on her.
-No thanks Mike, she's not my type.
-That's enough, Alan.
OK CPR should always be administered on a hard surface.
So Alan, help me with this little gizmo and Cherie, help me with her legs.
help me with her legs.
All right.
All right.
-Right there.
-Like that? -First thing we have to do is find out if Annie needs CPR.
What she needs is a new hairdresser! -Alan, stop it.
OK? Just stop it.
Now class, how do we find out if Annie's unconscious? -You ask her.
-Right! Hey Annie! Are you all right? - Why don't you kiss me and find out? Alan? Alan! That's it.
That's it.
Get up and march yourself right to the principal's office.
Now! -But Mike, she said if she ever saw me in her office again, she'd put me on permanent eraser detail.
-Well, in that case, take this and beat it.
-I'm his partner.
Do I have to go with him? -I hereby dissolve your partnership.
Have a seat, Cherie.
Now I need two volunteers.
People who want to learn.
-Please pick me! Please! - Punky and -Please please puh-leese! -Margaux.
-He always picks me.
-OK you ready? -Yea.
-Here we go girls.
It's after school, you two are on your way home, you pass the bus stop, you see Annie clutch her chest and fall to the ground.
What you do? - Um, um-- um I'm not sure.
There would be no problem if-- if it was 15 years from now.
-What do you mean? -By then I'll be married to a doctor! -The first thing you do is ask somebody to call the paramedics.
-Mike,call the paramedics.
-I'm on my way! -Annie, are you all right? -No answer? -No.
-Then it's time to look, listen, and feel.
-Look first.
-Her chest isn't moving.
-Listen.
-I can't hear her breathing.
-Feel.
-I can't feel her breath.
-What do we do now? -She isn't conscious and she isn't breathing.
We don't have much time, so you tilt her head back to open the airway.
Good.
She still isn't breathing.
So you give her four quick breaths.
-Go ahead, Margaux.
-No thanks.
I'll let you do it.
-I really don't mind if you do it.
-I better not.
I feel a cold sore coming on, see? -Girls, we don't have much time.
This woman needs your help.
-OK here goes.
-One two three four terrific.
Now check for pulse and breathing.
-She still isn't breathing.
Of course, it's a dummy.
If she was I'd be really freaked out.
-OK now we have to pump her heart.
Now this is where teamwork comes in.
-I'll be the breather and you can be the pumper.
- OK.
-Well - Margaux.
Margaux.
You don't press there.
The heart is up here.
-OK all right.
-All right.
I'm gonna count it off.
-All right.
-Ready? -Yea.
-One one thousand.
Two one thousand.
Three one thousand.
Four one thousand.
Breathe.
Again.
One one thousand.
Two one thousand.
Three one thousand.
Four one thousand.
Breathe.
All right! The yellow and green light went on! That means that you both did the procedure correctly! Annie has a pulse, and her heart is beating! -We did it! -Congratulations girls, because you just saved a life! - Hey! Hi.
I'm Cheapo Chester and you are? -Browsing Henry.
-Good.
So, looking for a refrigerator? -Perhaps.
-Ha! Well, what can I say to get you to take this little baby home today? -It's free.
Love your sense of humor, Hank! -No, come on.
Seriously.
I'm looking for the model that you advertised in the paper today? - Yea.
And it's a honey.
A real honey.
14 cubic feet, six cubic feet of freezer? -That's the one.
-Automatic ice maker, water dispenser? -That's the one! Where is it? -Gone.
-Gone? -Gone.
--No hold it! Hank! Hank! Hank! Hank! We got plenty more to choose from! I mean we're talking top freezer, bottom freezer, built ins, built outs, left handed, right handed, one cubic foot to infinity! So why don't we just take a look at this little side by side charmer? -I'm not charmed.
Forget that price.
Ignore that price.
On that price.
Hank, to get your business, I'm willing to knock off $200 and throw in a 40 piece container set.
Genuine plastic.
-Really? -Really.
And here's the piece of resistance.
A free digital alarm clock.
What do you say Hank? - Easy lifetime payments? Hey! Don't worry about it.
For you, it's not that long.
I don't know.
It's still a large amount of money.
-Ooooowee! This one's a beaut! Look at the size of this sucker! That must be a mistake.
It can't be that cheap! -That's the price.
-Well, I'll take it! -Well you're in luck friend, because that's the last one we have.
-Excuse me, but I was looking at this model first! -Well, looking ain't buying.
I'm willing to put cash on the barrelhead! -Well, I'm sorry Hank.
This man is ready to buy, and you did say you wanted to talk it over, so-- -I've thought about it.
I want it.
-Shoot! -Better luck next time.
Congratulations, Hank.
Look, why don't you step right on into the credit department and finalize the deal? My pleasure, Chester.
- All right, Hey! Maybe you can get the seal of approval.
-Hi there.
Interested in this little side by side charmer, ma'am? -Well, I don't know.
The price seems a little high.
-Oooowee! This is a beaut! And I can't believe that price! I'll take it! -Hey! I was looking at this first.
-Well, looking ain't buying.
I'm willing to put cash on the barrelhead! -Well, you're just in time friend, because this is the last one we have.
-I'll take it! -9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 -Hi there! -Shhhh! We're playing hide and seek.
-Sorry.
-Ready or not, here I come! -Home free, home free! -Well, Alan, looks like you're gonna be it again.
-No way! I can still find Cherie.
-Henry, what are you doing? -I'm going to take the door off the refrigerator.
The Salvation Army's going to pick it up this afternoon.
In the meantime, I don't want any of you playing near it.
-OK.
-Sure.
-Hey, it's snowing! -Ewww! I'm going in before my hair frizzes.
-We better all go in.
I'll take the door off after it stops snowing.
-We can't go in yet, Henry.
We haven't found Cherie.
-I saw her go inside.
You'll find her there.
Come on.
Hey I can't get out! Guys, open the door! It's dark in here! Hey, can you hear me? I need help! Punky! Help me! Anybody! Please! Grandma! -Care for some ice, Betty? -Henry, I'm drinking hot chocolate.
I swear you're just like a kid with a new toy.
-I can't help it.
This machine is amazing! And the price! Ha! I practically stole it from Cheapo Chester! -You brought that from Cheapo Chester? -Yes, indeedy! -Ooooh, I don't trust that man! He hoodwinked my cousin Giselda.
-How? -Well, she was eyeballing this stove.
Then this big old country boy came in and said he wanted to buy it.
-Really? Then Cheapo said it was the only one left, so rather than pass up a good deal-- -Your cousin said she saw it first and she bought it.
-Exactly! How did you know? -Lucky guess.
-Cherie! -Come out come out wherever you are! -Ollie ollie oxen free! Cherie, come on! The game's over.
-Cherie! -Cherie! -What's all the noise about? -We're looking for Cherie.
-You still haven't found her? -No.
-I thought she was outside with you kids.
-I saw her come inside.
She must be in the building.
-But we've looked everywhere.
-I hope she's not out in that snow.
She only had on her light jacket.
-Relax, Betty.
I saw her couple of minutes ago.
She probably just found a good hiding place.
-That doesn't sound like Cherie.
Yea, unlike me, Cherie's the worst hider on the North American continent.
Well, come on.
We'll all look again.
-Yea, I'll check our place.
-I sure wish we could find Cherie.
-Yea, me too.
I don't wanna be it again.
-Any luck? -No, the treehouse is empty.
I thought she might have crawled up my body while I was counting.
Of course, if you think about it, I'd have known if she was crawling up my body because I would've felt it.
Probably-- -Alan! Be quiet! -Yes, sir.
-Cherie! -Cherie! - My god! Alan, give me a hand! -She's all white! -Cherie? Cherie! Cherie! I don't think she's breathing.
-What! -Alan, do you learn CPR in school? - Well, I-- -Give her CPR now! I can't! I didn't pay attention.
I got sent to the principal's office! -Dear God, I don't know the procedure either.
-What do we do? We can't just let her die! -Alan, keep calm! I need your help.
First, run up to my apartment and call the paramedics.
You know how to do that? -9-1-1? -Right! After you do that, find Mrs.
Johnson.
Go! -Cherie got trapped in the refrigerator and she's not breathing! -Alan, go call the paramedics! -OK Margaux look, listen, feel.
-Her chest isn't moving! -Listen! -I can't hear anything.
-Feel! -I can't feel her breath.
-Cherie, can you answer me? -OK open the airway.
Good Punky.
Is she breathing now? -Not yet.
OK.
-No pulse, Punky! -She's still not breathing! You have to do that heart thing.
-Do you girls know what you're doing? -I sure hope so, Henry! Ready? Go! -One one thousand.
Two one thousand.
Three one thousand.
Four one thousand.
Breathe! -Again! One one thousand.
Two one thousand.
Three one thousand.
Four one thousand.
Breathe! She's got a pulse, Punky! Her heart is beating! -She's breathing! -Where am I? What happened? -It's all right, honey.
You're fine! Remember you were playing hide and seek? And you got locked in the refrigerator! -You passed out, but we revived you.
-We did CPR.
Does that mean I'm it? -Cherie! -It's all right, Betty! She's fine! Don't you worry, honey.
The paramedics will be here any minute.
-Grandma, aren't you cold? -No, honey.
Just lie still.
-Betty, the girls saved her.
They did CPR.
You should have seen them.
They knew exactly what they were doing! -God bless your hearts.
If it hadn't been for you two, I-- I might have lost my baby.
Thank you, girls.
Thank you.
-Cherie, I'm really sorry.
I blew it.
You could've died and it would've been all my fault.
I'm not good enough to be.
- Alan, don't be so hard on yourself.
I didn't know CPR, either.
I see its value.
What do you say you and I go learn it together? And if we're pointing the finger of blame, I should have taken the door off the refrigerator, snow or no snow.
-Mrs.
Johnson? Is Cherie going to be all right? -Cherie? How do you feel? -I'm hungry.
-Something tells me she's gonna be just fine.
