Operation Barney

Feigning illness so that he and Fred can go to a ball game, Barney finds himself in the hospital and scheduled for an operation.

Teaser Sequence: Fred asks a woman at the hospital is she the desk nurse? She sarcastically says to Fred "No, I'm Lady Godiva and this is the kissing booth." Fred asks her "Where is Mr. Rubble's (Barney's) room?" She tells Fred "He's in room 102. Who are you fatso, a deceased relative or something?" Fred says "No, I'm a deceased pal and I got to see him" as he tries to run past her. She says "Sorry, Buster" and she shoves Fred way over to the waiting room which he says what's the big idea? The desk nurse says "No visitors!" Fred tells her "You know what this means don't ya, we'll (him and Barney) miss the ballgame." She says to Fred "I'm not much for ballgames, but maybe if you behave yourself, maybe we can take in a movie tonight." Fred comments with "Oh, boy." Next, he tries sneakily crawling past the nurse, but she catches him and drags him back over to the waiting room telling him "Now look, buddy, rules are rules and it's only fair to warn you that I know Judo. If you pull that again, I'll have to bounce you out of here, you understand?" Fred glumly says "Yes Ma'am." Two paramedics bringing in a man on a stretcher come in taking the man to the operating room as Fred sneaks past the nurse hiding to the side of the stretcher.
