Synopsis
Louie goes to the hospital when he experiences stomach pains. He becomes worried when he learns he needs surgery and makes a promise to God (in front of Alex) that if he makes it through the surgery, he'll be the best person he can be. Sure enough, the surgery is a complete success and when he next comes into the garage, he is a changed man. Bobby is not convinced that Louie has sincerly changed so he makes a bet with Alex that he can get Louie angry. Bobby tells Louie that he has been in an accident-- he has wrecked a cab and it was his fault. Louie is visibly bothered but doesn't get angry. Bobby, impressed at this point, admits to Louie that he was just joking. Only then does Louie lose it and he hangs Bobby up by an engine block hook and threatens to fire anyone who lets him down. Ironically, Bobby has won his bet. Louie later is worried that he's going to hell for going back on his word to God, but Alex reminds him that his promise was to be the best man he could be and perhaps be
