And Now a Word from Our Sponsor Page #2

I'll help, but, you know, it's

just part of the conversation.

I didn't mean it, you know?

- OK.

I know you didn't mean that.

- OK.

- You don't have to take him in.

- OK.

- Unless... well,

unless you want to.

- Only you can prevent

forest fires.

- Look, you know what,

if you don't want to do this...

uh, something else will

work out.

- It's just for a few days,

right?

- Yeah, it's just

for a few days.

- Or your money back.

- You mean you'll pay me?

- And we'll include

a Ginsu knife.

- Well, I already have one.

OK, twist my arm. I'll help. I'll help.

- Oh, my god, Karen,

you're a saint!

Saint Karen.

I like that.

I like that a lot.

OK.

I'll get my things.

- Only you can prevent

wild fires.

Mr. Foster? Hi.

I am at the hospital.

Yeah, I'm sorry, sir,

but he's gone.

No, he's not dead,

he's just been discharged.

Yes, sir, I'm on it.

Listen, I will get back to you.

Ah.

- Now, Adan, um, I have

a confession to make.

I have actually followed

your career over the years.

I'm kind of a groupie.

Some people are

into comic books.

I... I really like

the advertising world.

And, uh, I was just wondering

if it was possible for you to...

to help me come up with

some advertising slogans

for the hospital for, you know,

next week or...

You deserve a break today.

Right.

OK.

Oh, hello.

Who's he?

Uh, Adan.

Adan, Meghan.

Meghan, Adan.

Hi.

Bye.

- You're being very rude,

Meghan.

You're right. I am.

Let me show you

to your room.

Some things from... things

from the lost and found

at the hospital, they donate.

This is a...

Um...

Really?

Adan.

- Surprise. You're on a mountain peak where I

play those sweet sha-la-las you love to hear.

Firework colours turn our world

upside down. I hope you like water,

because we're neck deep in the sweet

waters of friendship and trust.

You see...

- Oh.

- ...when you're a man who smells like the

fresh scents of Old Spice, you can go anywhere.

Unless, of course, you prefer

to stay in.

- Yeah, commercials are

really great, huh?

- The length you go to

for pleasure.

I brought you a shirt.

- ...it's like they know it's

only a matter of time.

Time...

the only thing between them

and opposable thumbs.

Imagine that. Cats...

with thumbs.

And what if they got together?

Gangs of cats with thumbs!

And organi...

Come on.

- # Eat this, eat that

# This one's good,

this one's bad #

- Knock. Knock.

- What?

- Are we really going to keep

doing this dance? Huh?

Because I don't

like it. It's not fun.

I beg to differ.

OK. Um, well,

it's, uh, totally cool

to treat me this way and to act

like that, but it's

not really cool

to behave like that

with other people.

And the thing is,

you know it.

- Who is he, anyway?

- He's an old friend.

He's waiting for a spot

at Garden Meadows.

What?!

And you brought him here?

Are you insane?!

Maybe.

Give me that!

- Get your own box.

- Give it to me!

- You can learn a lot

from a dummy. Buckle up.

Meghan. Meghan.

Hey. Meghan, stop it.

- Let it go!

- You know how men are about

holding the remote control.

Let him have it.

- It's our TV!

- What are you, four years old?

And if so, he was here first.

- Bizzario here is watching

commercials!

My show is on!

- He is a guest

in our home!

- I can't believe you'd bring

one of your charity cases

into our house without

telling me first! - He needed help.

- So what?

We're the neighbourhood

kennel for psychos?

- He's not a psycho. He just needs a place

to stay for a few days

until he finds a spot

at Garden Meadows.

- Mothers are supposed

to tell their daughters about

bringing home crazies

before actually doing it!

- Why let those strands of hair

turn grey?

- I started dyeing my hair

the day she turned 13.

You know, I try my best

to be...

...the cool, open mom to her so that

I don't end up like my mother.

But no matter how hard I try

I just end up being a clich.

I've got this cool job

in the hospital,

and then I come home,

and...

I'm at the bottom

of the food chain of life.

I don't even want

to come home sometimes.

I don't know why I'm telling you

this. I'm sorry. I...

you know, maybe I need to go

to Garden Meadows. I think

I would really benefit.

- Nothing sucks like

an Electrolux.

Yeah, it sucks big time.

Ah.

Thank you, Adan.

Have a seat on the...

on the couch.

In my home.

I want you to have this,

because I know you want it.

- You could learn a lot from a dummy.

Buckle your safety belt...

- ...apologize, I'll...

I'll correct it myself.

It's... it's just that I work

with a bunch of monkeys here...

- Why are you not talking yet?

- It's like I said on the phone:

he was discharged before I got there.

He left with a woman named Karen Hillridge.

She works at the hospital

as the head of the charity...

- That's really boring.

What else?

- OK. Well, I got her full

background check,

including credit reports and

even her school transcripts.

- That's rubbish. Is that it?

- It's the best I could do in 10 minutes.

Give me 24 hours and I'll go as far back as

her ancestors' country of origin.

- See, that's why I like you,

Jenny. You remind me of me.

- Thank you, Mr. Foster.

- That wasn't a compliment.

Look, I really

don't care if you spent

too much time in Vietnam

or your daddy left you

when you were only a stem cell.

Just don't even think about

coming near me or my stuff.

Got it, serial killer?

- Sometimes you feel like a nut,

sometimes you don't. - Wow.

You're like some crazy

whacked-out

sideshow attraction

from an amusement park

or something, aren't you?

- I'm going to Disneyland.

- Oh, good. Let me buy you your ticket.

- My life. My car.

- No. I insist.

- Thanks for your support.

- I'm sorry,

I don't speak crazy. Hey!

Oh, my god, I'm so sorry.

Are you OK?

- What's going on in there?

- Nothing! Right?

Relax, it's FedEx.

He's here.

Coming.

Jason.

Hey. Is she, uh, ready to go?

- Oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure

she heard the doorbell ring

when you were down the street.

And, uh, who's he?

He's a friend. It's Adan.

- His name's what?

- Adan. - Adam?

Adan. Adan.

Choosing the right

life insurance doesn't guarantee

you'll live to retirement age.

- He's fine.

- Heh.

Meghan, Jason's...

That's romantic.

You don't have a curfew,

but if you're not home

at a reasonable hour,

you will, young lady!

I heard that.

What is it they say?

That the ones that are... are

closest to you are the ones that

end up hurting you the most?

I just hope that one day

she'll stop pretending

that she hates me.

- It takes a tough man

to make a tender chicken.

- A teenager is

a whole other story.

Crispy. Not fried.

Yeah.

So, Adan, uh...

...what happened?

I mean, the last time

I saw you, you weren't,

well, you know, consumed

with talking in advertising

slogans. And now... yeah, well,

now you... you do it

all the time.

- You play like Betty White.

- Thanks. I'm a big Betty White fan.
