Once Luca's body was removed, Carlo looked at his watch and cried, "Oh no! I was supposed to be at the Opera an hour ago for my costume fitting!"

Francesca winked and said, "I've got a costume you can fit into," intending innuendo, but making no sense and baffling Carlo, who answered, "No you don't."

Carlo kissed his patroness on the cheek and quickly left for the Opera, barely missing Cesare, who had come to the hospital in a rage to confront his unfaithful wife.

" watch where you are going you bumbling idiot!" Cesare cried out when Carlo almost plowed him down running out the door.

Cesare suffered a sudden paralysis down the left side, soit was very lucky he was in a hospital.

In a hospital, they could work it out so that the right side would match the left.

"Cesare!" Francesca exclaimed nervously, "W-w-what are you doing here...and why are you walking so funny?"

Cesare looked down and realized that he had a hypodermic syringe sticking out of his left butt cheek--must have happened when he'd run over that fragile nurse to get up here--and he plucked it out, wondering what exactly it was that he had inadvertently injected himself with.

After having been lost at sea for 13 years and returning to find his beloved wife squandering his fortune on his arch-enemy Carlo, Cesare had not intended to surprise Francesca with his return in quite this way...this was most undignified, he thought as he slowly slid to the floor and lost consciousness.

A short stocky nurse walked in, looked at him, and picked up the syringe, saying, "Oh, the gardener will be so happy that I found his "Miracle-Gro" plant feeder!"

Cesare lay there twitching unconsciously, without menace aforethought, but with an increasingly mellow aura of golden yellow light.

And as they looked at him, something very frightening began to happen to the left side of his body--in violent bursts, his limbs appeared to plump up, like those ballpark franks that Carlo used to eat when he was a child--at first just the left side, but then his whole body began to plump up, to grow, and within minutes his twitching body had plumped up to three times his normal size, and he was now muscular and huge, about the size of a grizzly bear...and he was regaining consciousness.

Francesca, at first amazed to see her long-lost husband and now equally amazed to see his transformation, sat on the edge of her hospital bed, transfixed at the sight of his enlarging crotch.

Cesare noticed that Francesca was licking her lips, drooling, and rubbing her hands together anxiously as she stared at the thermos-sized bulge he had somehow acquired in his pants.

In delusions from her illness, as she was, she thought that Bill Cosby had told her to cut fifty... organs... and put them in the middle of Lentil-spoon Avenue before sunset; or else.

With this in mind, she advanced, scalpel in hand, towards the luckless Cesare, who had now sprouted a few leaf buds from the top of his head.

She launched toward him to remove them, but he was too vigilant: so, she started reading out 'Measure for Measure' from memory, in the hope that it would daze him.

But Cesare was too powerful; he shouted something gutteral, gathered her up in his huge arms like a small puppy, and ran, enraged, out of the room and through the hospital corridors.

Out, though, came the legions of pig-men from suite 177, who started kicking Cesare; he ended up as a bloody mess, and Francesca ran away with the pigmen, delusionally shouting 'viva la revoluciĆ³n Reagan.'
