The nurse had finished handing out the pills and sank into her high-backed leather chair in the nursing station.
She rubbed her face and exhaled wearily.
Glancing at the clock, she sighed inwardly at the thought of another 4hrs on her shift before she could go home and finish that pot-roast she started last night.
"This is no life for a woman in her prime" she thought as she returned to filling out the forms needed for that morning.
In the day room, several old men sat around playing cards and laughing as they passed the hours in their twilight years, avoiding the studious creeping of the Grim Reaper.
"That's a royal flush" smirked Mario, brushing his grey-yet-still-YMCA moustache.
"Gah" cried Max Payne and threw his hand in. In his head, a monologue began:
"Throwing the cards down merely indicated that his intention was bad, I knew that before long I'd be-"
His thoughts interrupted by Solid Snake sipping his tea and cleaning his teeth in a jar by his side,
"Payne, stop with the interior monologue you old fart. That used to be good, but it's hackneyed tosh now"
Payne looked annoyed, "Button it Snake, I'll have you know that in my heyday, I had slo-mo and I ruled. They even ported my game across to your shoddy console"
Snake chuckled, "Everything you do these days is in slo-mo, big deal."
Payne pouted before staring out of the window.
"Hey Nukem" said Mario, "You a-gonna play this hand or what?"
"Hail to the king baby" shouted Nukem in his paper-thin voice, eyes flickering to life momentarily.
"Oh jesus, he's awake again" came the sigh from Payne.
The men all leaned back and remembered previous glory.
"In-a my day" began Mario, "I was-a the best character in-a video games"
"Yeah for retards" sneered Payne.
Snake chuckled and poked Nukem in the ribs "Hail to the king baby!" wheezed Nukem, before farting softly and falling into a slumber again.
"No, Is-a true. I was-a da king of jumping...but now I need help to get in the bath" Mario said with a gentle sob and a shaking of his head.
Snake looked at him ,"Pull yourself together old man, I was the primo-hero and now look at me. I still have my mullet, but it's not even mine anymore".
Snake ripped his hairpiece off and threw it to the floor, Payne pointed at the rug and laughed at the balding Snake, who looked out of the window with tears in his eyes.
"You bunch of women, I was a tough cop on the edge of society. And now I'm a tough old man on the edge of society. My kids don't visit me anymore and I don't care."
"Oh yeah Payne, you're so tought" sobbed Snake, "I remember last year at Xmas dinner. You attempted a shoot-dodge through the door and had to be helped to your chair by Otocan and Revolver Ocelot."
Payne ignored him and chose to live in his fantasy world, "Let's face it gents, we used to rock but now we are dusty relics of a bygone age. Left on the heap as kids today play those plug-in games with themselves as the hero. Nobody has time for us now,it's all immersive 3D reality. We're finished"
Nukem shuddered to life, "Hail to the king bab..." he flatlined and his chest ceased to rise and fall eventually.
The other 3 stared out of the window and awaited their final, forgotten days.

Yes
"Drop the kids off at the pool" = Pinch a stink-loaf. Curl one out etc.
I was being polite.
But I'm at work, so no way am I doing that.
Just thought I'd share that with you all.
*grimaces and walks like John Wayne*

Was that 'kids at pool' thing a goat joke?
Me too.
But the old man home passed a lunchtime at work, now I must smoke and spend the afternoon posting here as well.
I am tired, my face aches from smashing it with a drumstick and I need to drop the kids off at the pool.

But my brain has gone to sleep now.
Write it out dude.

Payne looked at him and shrugged, "Nukem finally popped it"
Mario stood up "Is-a crying shame, and now I'm-a gonna whip yo monkey-ass Payne, someone should've done it ages ago. Lording it around-a here like you-a some kind of hero."
Payne looked at the doddery Mario and pushed himself to his feet, "Ok punk,you gonna get yours."
They both shambled to the middle of the day room and circled each other shakily, each throwing weak and ineffectual air-punches at each other and making faces.
"I'm-a open a can-a a whoopass on you Payne"
Payne feinted left and sunk his arthritic fist into Mario's pudgy frame.
"Ooof!", Mario went down like a sack of spuds.
Payne dusted his pajamas off and sat back down, "I've still got it plumber, don't ever forget that"
Snake looked at them both with a disgusted look on his face, "You two both pack it in. Disgraceful, fighting at your age."
Payne pushed himself slowly to his feet, "You want some baldy?"
Snake stood and pressed himself against the wall of the dayroom, sliding towards the exit.
"Where are you going Snake? I can see you, y'know." Payne said incredulously.
"No you can't, I'm sneaking" whispered Snake.
"There you are, right there you old fool" said Payne and proceeded to throw his bedpan at the shaky Snake.
It bounced off Snake's shiny pate and drenched him in two-day-old pee.
"Oh jesus" wheezed Snake, "There was no need for that."
Payne sat back down and smiled, "Showed both of you who's the daddy. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark"
"What gunshot? You soaked me in pee, you stupid old man"
Payne looked confused, "Did I? Sorry"
"Gah" said Snake and called for the nurse to come and give him a bath.
Payne looked over at the now-grey Nukem, "Well Duky, just me and you know...Duke?...damn"
Nukem shuddered to life, "Hail to the king
