Hoffman and Puscas are bombed, watching the St. Patrick's Day Parade, when one of them drops his lit cigarette into a damp mattress that's been left out on the sidewalk.

The mattress starts to smoulder just as the blue-hair brigade, the Ladies' Auxiliary, is passing by.

Hoffman takes a whiff, turns to Puscas, and says, "Man...you think maybe they're marching these ladies too fast?"
