Buddy's patronizing younger brother, Phil, convinces him to commit himself to a mental hospital for the rest of his life. Harry angrily objects. Meanwhile, Dan has accidentally destroyed Harry's entire collection of Mel Torme records, but tries to make up for it by shackling the man himself in Harry's office until Harry returns from Buddy's hearing.

Scene Exerpts[]
- Quotes:
- Harry: Dan, Al (Buddy's friend) doesn't talk to people.
- Dan: Oh.
[to Al]
- Dan: Nice blinking with you!
- Harry: [Al wants a noogie. Harry obliges followed by a blank expression from Al] It's worth it just to see your face light up like that.
- Judge Harrison Kemp: Just who are you restraining, Mister?
- Harry: It's not Mister, it's Judge Harold T. Stone.
- Judge Kemp: Do you expect me to believe a man who wears a tie like that?
- Dan: [after confessing he destroyed Harry's collection of Mel Torme albums] Harry, here it is in a nutshell. Mel Torme is in your office right now! He wanted to leave but I couldn't let him, so I locked him up with your trick shackles!
- Harry: I don't have any trick shackles. Those are real, and I don't have a key!
- Dan: Oh! Then I just managed to kidnap a well known jazz artist. Gotta go, bye!
- Bull: So, Mr. Torme, how did you like your tour of the morgue?
- Mel Torme: [emotional and wiping his brow] Very educational!
