Art Work

Die Taxi-Crew wettet gern auf Sportereignisse. Doch leider kommt dabei nie was raus. Elaine hat eine bessere Idee: Gemälde kaufen und warten, bis der Maler stirbt und die Bilder wertvoll werden. Ihre Kollegen sind begeistert und lassen sich von Elaine zur nächstehn Kunstauktion schleppen.

The cabbies are faring poorly at various gambling schemes, but Elaine alerts the gang about a moneymaking tip for an art auction. It seems a terminally ill artist's painting is up for auction, and when an artist dies, the value of his paintings goes up considerably. She estimates that they need to pool $2,000 to win the auction and the gang, including Louie, barely scrapes up enough. At the auction, Louie attempts various dirty tricks to ensure a successful bid, but the bidding quickly goes above $2,000 and another bidder snares the painting. It is then announced that the artist has passed away, which rubs salt in the wounds of the already dejected cabbies.
