Hyah! take that, man. Take that!

Yes! yes!

Hey.

Hey, you feeling all right, Al?

Oh, yeah. I feel fine.

I just figured something out.

This whole backward

phenomenon of mine

started the day I noticed

my first gray hair.

You see that?

It's me. I am doing it.

I am trying to stop time!

Whoa, man, that's heavy!

Ha ha ha!

Wow! Hey, man,

you don't like Floatie?

What?

Floatie. She thinks you don't like her

'cause of that mark on her face.

That's ridiculous. Where is she?

She's over there at the dinner table.

All right.

I'm gonna go talk to her, kid,

let her know everything's fine here.

Ok?

Thanks.

You're all right, kid.

I mean it. You really are.

So don't worry.

I'm gonna go over there now,

and I'm gonna get

everything squared away.

Where were you working, Floatie?

Uh, I was in phone sales.

Oh, really.

Office supplies or clothing catalogs?

Sex.

Excuse me?

Phone sex?

Company called, um...

Love Phone.

You ever heard of it?

No. I'm, uh, I'm afraid I haven't.

It was the perfect job for me.

I'm kind of a quiet person, Al.

I like to just sit around and...

think up things...

you know, fantasies...

Not all of them about sex.

I got a whole bunch

of stories in my mind

about a princess

who can kill people

just by looking at them.

But she only does it

to guys who are mean to her,

because there are a lot

of nice guys out there.

I know. I talked to a lot of them

on the phone.

What the hell are you trying to do?

Why were you fired?

They tried me for a week,

but, um, guys kept hanging up on me.

I guess I'm just one of those people

who aren't sexy...

even if it is just over the phone.

Now, hold on a second, Floatie.

I think you're exaggerating

a little bit there.

What do you mean?

Well, I think you're...

Sexy.

Oh! Turn that tape over.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Here we go.

Hey, wow, man.

All right, Al!

Huh!

Hey, hey!

Right on.

Righteous, man.

All right.

Ha ha ha!

Come on.

Shake that thing.

Over here. Come on.

You idiot. Put that down!

Whoo!

Whoa!

Yeah! there you go.

Take it off, girl.

Looking good.

Whoo! Oh, yeah!

Sexy, sexy, sexy!

Ha ha ha!

Whoo!

Yeah!

Hey, check it out!

Al's getting naked!

Get her, Al!

Whoo!

Go, kid!

Whoa! Ha ha ha!

Mr. Fountain?

Good morning, Doris. How are you?

I brought your extra set of car keys,

Mr. Fountain.

Thank you very much

for bringing them out. I...

won't get up

because I'm not dressed.

You could just leave them

on the bed, please.

Thank you.

Thank you, Doris. I appreciate it.

Did you want to buy

something, ma'am?

I got some birds there. Giraffe?

A beautiful rubber snake.

Where are you going?

Oh! careful.

Oh!

I'm letting that go for about 25.

Oh, shut up!

What's going on?

I got the circle substitute

set number 1225-a.

Oh, was that the rent-a-car chick?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, man, I thought

she was a customer.

Yeah. Doris.

To hell with both of you!

Well, it was nice

to meet you, Al.

Me, too, Floatie.

Jesus, let me get a breath!

Sorry.

I just wanted something

to remember you by.

What, are you leaving

the country?

No. why? you wanna

come over tonight?

I don't know.

I tell you one thing, though.

I ain't sleeping

in no goddamn chair.

Well, I got some beds.

Bye, Bucky.

Bye, baby.

Hey, get away from the car, man.

- I mean it.

- I'm hanging on!

- Whoa!

- Oh, be careful!

I'm all right.

Bye-bye, baby!

Whoo!

There you go, Al.

You're out of here.

I guess so, kid.

Hey, listen,

you ever down this way again,

You just drop in, ok?

I mean, anytime. I mean it.

Will do, kid,

and you've got my number.

If you ever get to Chicago,

Give me a call.

All right. Sure. Hey...

I might get out there one day.

Well, good-bye, kid.

So long, Al.

Oh, wait a second.

Just a little momentum

from your stay here.

Thanks, kid.

Ha ha ha!

Thank you very much.

You take care of yourself.

Hey, you know me, Al.

Ha ha ha!

- 9 times 8 is...72.

- Hey, there.

How's it going, Bob?

Good.

I have them memorized, Dad.

I only need about

I'll tell you what.

Why don't we just put these

on hold for a moment?

There's no rush here.

I'll help you,

and we'll do them

together sometime, ok?

Have a seat.

So, you had a good 4th?

Yes, sir.

Good.

Here's a little something for you, Bob.

What is it?

You'll find out.

Ok. I'll see you in a bit, all right?

How's he doing?

We didn't get into it, Deb.

I figured, you know,

what the hell?

I just got home.

I'll deal with it tomorrow.

Great. soon as you're

unpacked, we can eat.

It's a little early, isn't it?

Early?

It's 7:
00.

You always eat at 7:00.

Oh, that's right. I forgot. I'm...

Mr. Clockwork.

Yeah, mister, uh...

I'm glad you're home, Al.

Well, Deb, I'm glad to be home.

I missed you.

I found this in the woods.

I thought you could use it

to put your jewelry in it.

Just caught my eye.

Thanks, Al. It's beautiful.

I think so, too.

Oh, what is this?

Now, whose are these?
