Part 2 PLEASE NOTE: Questions 4, 5 and 6 below deal with this fact pattern in Part 2 Burning mad that his machinery hasn't been returned yet, Moe happens upon four employees in the employee lounge one afternoon. Vera, Chuck and Dave are eating lunch. Another employee, one "Sticky Fingers' Malone, who Moe personally has suspected from the beginning, is sitting by himself drinking coffee. Moc sces his chance and takes it. He slams the door shut on all four of them, and locks it with the only key, shouting through the door, "I am not letting you out until you confess what you've done, Sticky." Vera, who is extremely claustrophobic begins to plead with Moe to open the door. Moc pays no heed but concentrates on Malone, saying "I'll only let you out if you confess that you stole my lathe, Sticky Fingers. You thief, you." Malone is as cool as a cucumber making Moe more certain he is the one. Meanwhile Vera is becoming extremely dizzy and then suddenly becomes violently sick. Chuck is shouting, "Let her out, man. I'm her husband. I've seen this before. This is killing me. Vera'll only get worse." Moe is too upset at the fact that Sticky Fingers is now laughing at him to pay much attention to Vera, Chuck and Dave. Besides Moc thinks they are all just hamming it up so he'll let them out, and tells them to "pipe down and finish your lunch, while I think about it." Chuck yells through the door and waves an angry fist in Moe's direction, "I'll beat your brains out when I get out. You have no idea what you are putting Vera through."
