Cuidado.

- So what'd she say?

- She wasn't home.

- Yeah? Try work?

- She wasn't there either.

- Well, she's probably just out.

- Yeah? Where?

- Oh, shopping or something. How do I know?

- She's with another guy.

- How do you know that?

- You told me.

- Hello, I was kidding.

- I'm gonna find out.

Wait for Mommy, honey.

Good boy.

- You're acting like a madman.

- I'll be back.

- Look, we are on a job.

- I'm just gonna ask her if she's seeing somebody.

- I am telling you as a friend, don't do this.

- I'm gonna tell you as a friend,

don't do this.

No-no! No!

Wait, I need that car!

Wait a second!

Wait, wait! Wait! Wait!

Tell me about it later?

Hmm.

Sir, excuse me.

Tony, where ya goin'?

They, uh, couldn't

identify her body.

- What are you saying?

- I'm saying, without confirmation we're nervous.

- You want me to get confirmation?

- What we want is...

reassurance that the job

you were paid for... was done.

- You know she's alive?

- We don't know she isn't.

- You know the situation that puts us in.

- I'm gonna say it again.

- What are you saying? Do you want the money back?

- Tony, Tony.

You misunderstand me.

Money is not the issue here. Trust is.

That's why we came to you with this

very important piece of business.

And Tony, we have every confidence you'll

do the job that was entrusted to you.

Okay?

- Oh, makin' dinner?

- Yes, I am. Love cooking.

- Mmm, looks good.

- Thank you very much.

- It's late. Maria should be home by now.

- Maybe.

- Why don't you try calling her again?

- It's too late.

She's probably married by now.

I have to get her a gift.

Did you know she asked me

to be her maid of honor?

So... when are we gonna

invite them over for drinks?

- Ah, Bill?

- Yes, Chris?

Did I just hear you suggest that we

invite the neighbors over for drinks,

the very people that

we're here to stake out?

- Why, no, Chris. I would never do such a thing.

- Good to know, Bill!

The reason that I thought is because

it's simply a more expedient way...

of finding out whether or not

they've heard anything about Delano.

And how do you expect us

to go about doing that? I know!

Maybe we could just ask them if they

have any friends in protective custody.

It was not my idea. You happen to

be the one who invited them over.

- I did not!

- You certainly did invite them!

- Not! Not!

- You went, Yes!

- Not! Not!

- Yes! Yes! Yes, you did!

You said as clear as day, "Why

don't you come over for drinks?"

- Oh, now!

- "Maybe for dinner! Heck! Let's have a party!"

- That's what you said! Yes. Is that what he said?

- No, no, no.

- Technically yes.

- "Technically"?

You should have defended me

on the mustache thing.

I didn't mean it, okay?

I was lying!

You know, I had no intention of inviting

them over here for drinks or anything else.

Let's just put it down to the fact

that I'm a bad neighbor, all right?

As soon as they understand that,

everyone will get along fine.

- That's good. What is that?

- Hummus.

- What-us?

- Hummus.

Some sliced vegetables,

a side of hummus. A hummus-side!

Oh, that's funny.

Hello?

I can't believe you've never

seen the show before.

All right, now,

which one is "Stimpy"?

Stimpy's the cat

and Ren is the Chihuahua.

- You idiot!

- And which one is "Stinky"?

Stinky is not a regular on the show.

Stinky just appears every now and again...

Oh, so the bodily functions

don't appear every day?

No, it's like a guest-starring bodily

function. Sometimes it's rotting teeth.

- Sometimes it's farts.

- Where have I been?

You know this is the end of Western

civilization as we know it, don't you?

- I got the tap in.

- Good-bye.

Hey, I'm not just

a piece of meat, you know.

11.58 a.m.

Mrs. O'Hara goes peepee.

Do you have to go peepee?

Hmm? I bet you do.

Well, you should have thought about

that before we left for the island.

No! Chris! Don't take the car.

You'll kill

your... self!

- Nice steady stream.

No penile obstructions.

3.58 a.m.

Mr. O'Hara goes peepee.

Two peepees in one night. You people

are gonna give me high blood pressure.

What is it, Archie? What is it?

What is so important at...

Come on, Brian, Pam,

talk to me.

Is it Delano?

No, Bill,

it's not Delano.

It's diarrhea.

- You know all about diarrhea,

don't you, Arch?

I bet you get it when someone gives

you a nice big piece of chocolate.

Come here. Come here.

Oooh!

Oooh!

Get off Mommy's bed.

- Hurry up, hurry up. Come on, let's go!

- What, what?

- Do you want to be part of this stakeout or not?

- Okay.

Come on. You have got to follow him!

He might be going to meet Delano.

Let's go! And I'm injured!

Come on, take the dog!

Get the dog!

Archie!

Get up

or move over.

They had a lot to talk about

at 4:
00 in the morning.

I think we should

put in a bug.

Mr. O'Hara went for a jog.

I told her to follow him.

You told her to follow him?

Call 9-1-1.

Good, Archie.

Good boy.

All right, doin'okay.

Slow down for Mommy, Archie.

All right.

Oh. Oh, God. Oh.

Archie, no.

Mommy can't go, Archie.

Archie! Archie!

Okay, good boy.

Let Mommy rest.

No, Archie!

No, not the bunny,

Archie.

No, no, Archie. Archie!

Leave the bunny!

No! No!

Aaah!

Ah!

Ah! A little

gardening action, huh?

Love that gardening action.

What have we got, peas and carrots?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Just...

There you go. Get those weeds.

Get that... Turn around.

Turn around.

Yes, get that weed.

Yes!

Yeah.

Brian's home.

No, I'll do that for you.

Ah! Oh!

Feel better, huh?

Where's Gina?

- All right, slowly.

- Okay.

- You all right?

- Yes, thank you.

- I got you.

- Okay. Ow.

Come on, Archie.

- Okay, here we go. You all right?

- Oh, yes, thank you, Frank.

- No problem.

- This ended up being such a joy.

- What happened?

- Oh, I sprained my ankle. I'm fine.

Hi, I'm Frank Sutter.

You must be Gina's father.

Yep! Yep!

That's exactly who I am.

By cracky.

Pa, Pa Kettle!

Oh, oh, my God!

I've fallen and I can't get up!

- Daddy? Stop it!

- Oh, you broke my Depends.

- Take care of that ankle. I gotta go.

- How about some lemonade?

Frank, Frank! Don't go!

You can help me eat!

- No, no, no, Frank. Frank!

- You can hold the utensil...

You spineless, selfish maggot!

Telephone.

I heard it!

Geez!

- Police work!

- Yes, I'm not deaf!

- Oh, the pain must be excruciating.

- Just shut your trap!

- I ran my ass all over town for you!

- Shush, shush, quiet!

- Hello?

- Pam? It's Kate.

- Hi! How are ya?

- Oh, not too good.

- What's the matter?

- Larry and I are getting divorced.

- I needed to talk to someone.

- Oh, God, I'm sorry.

- Are you okay? Are you at the house?

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry, Pam.

- Hey, don't be sorry. Where's Larry?

He left. I don't know.

I think he went to Henry's.

- Are the kids with you?

- No, they're staying with my parents for the week.

- Kate, are you and Larry still seeing that counselor?

- No.

- Oh!

- Pam, I don't want to make it work anymore.
