It ain't that bad a job.
Oh, it ain't that.
It's just that,
well, I'm happier than
I've got any right to be.
You're a funny kid.
Come on. Let's go out
and feed them gulls.
You mean you ain't heard
nothing from Ellie May at all?
She just up and left.
And she had on my best pair
Well, I hope nothing's happened to her.
I've looked through the death notices
every day, and she ain't in them.
Did you call
the cops?
She ain't in the clink.
We'd have heard.
Ho ho. You still worried over Ellie May?
It must be a fella.
Well, she's old enough
to have a fella.
Maybe she's run off with a
hobo, like you tried to do once.
Ellie May can take care
of herself.
It's a wonder she wouldn't
let us see him.
It's about time that
somebody in this family
landed something
beside a mini-fish.
Oh, say, mame, how about stepping on it?
We don't own that taxicab, you know.
I know, but, honey, I've misplaced
my best hat with the plumes on it.
Where'd you put it?
Well, now, the last time
I had it was in there.
Maybe Homer traded
it for a bottle of gin.
Now, look at that.
Oh, look at that,
now, will you?
Now, ain't she a scream?
She's a riot.
You can't stop her.
Come here
and give me that.
I want to go with you
and Thelma.
Oh, ho ho!
Come here.
You've been at
my perfumery again.
I ain't been at it.
That ain't
your natural smell.
Oh, there's the mailman!
If Ellie May was
like her,
we wouldn't have much
to worry about.
Oh, quit fretting
about Ellie May.
Say, mame, you better keep
your eye on that waistline.
It's beginning
to spread.
I ain't 16 no more.
Oh, well,
with the new corsets,
you ain't got nothing
to worry about.
You said it.
Where'd you get that?
From the mailbox.
What's that?
You're sure it wasn't
in mrs. Espinoza's mailbox?
Now, what is it?
Why, it's for me.
Wonder what's here.
Maybe it's a bomb.
Hurry up and open it.
Maybe it's presents.
Now, stop it. That's all you're
thinking about is presents.
Oh...
it's my fox fur.
It's from Ellie May.
Where is she?
Doesn't say.
She's doing all right.
Don't take it
so hard, Pete.
married life's the worst.
Now, I'm telling you.
You're telling me.
Fresh out of cherry pie. You
think you can stand huckleberry?
It don't make
no difference.
All our pies taste
just the same. Hi, al.
Hello, Ellie. Hello, Pete. Hello, Ed.
Didn't think you'd be coming
back here after eating here once.
I'm gonna see how long I can
eat here without throwing up.
Here, let me take a look at
You ain't gonna last
long, brother.
Here, let me see. Oh, i
know what's good for that-
some nice irish stew,
made out of some old
inner tubes.
Oh, you can't tell,
'cause it's hid under gravy.
I'll take it and a side dish of arsenic.
While you're waiting, you
can be chewing on some celery.
Oh.
One stew.
Delicious!
What will you have? Some
coffee and a sandwich?
Want some pie?
Best food I had
in here yet.
How about
a little stretch?
Well, we
certainly made some time.
Well, you're in fast company, dearie.
Say, big boy, how about
some of that snappy service?
Yes, ma'am.
Fill 'er up?
No, just look at the
oil and water. All right.
What's the matter with elmer?
Aw, he's passed out again.
Hee hee hee!
Wake up, elmer.
You're slipping,
big boy.
Oh, let him
sleep it off.
Oh, say,
I want to help.
What's this for?
Oh, that's the water.
Where do you put it?
Oh, right in there.
Here, I'll do it.
No, no, I want to do it.
Ooh, boy!
I always wanted to work
around a gas station.
The old gal's feeling
pretty high.
Ain't we got fun?
work around a gas station...
poor old Ed's got
his hands full.
You'll
get us all wet!
Aw, look, honey!
You got me all wet!
You sure get a lot of
entertainment around here, boy.
Let's wake elmer up.
Come on.
If you get anything on my
new dress, I'll slaughter you!
Ah, come on. We only live once.
That guy in the backseat
sure got a shower he didn't expect.
Stop it!
Aw, quit, mame,
will you?
Listen, you know
who she is, don't you?
I never saw her
before.
That's Mamie Adams, from
over primrose hill way.
And who is she?
It ain't so much who she
is, if you know what I mean.
What right have you got
to talk about people
when you don't know
nothing about them?
I didn't say anything
about you.
Can't people have
a little fun out of life
without some mealy-mouthed guy like
you saying mean things about them?
Listen, lady, I was only telling him-
she may be good and kind
and wonderful
for all you know.
What's the matter?
I'm sorry, grampy. I didn't
know what I was saying.
Did he say something
you didn't like?
No, he didn't mean
nothing.
Because if he did-
I didn't say anything-
hey, what did he do?
What is this? I didn't
say anything to her.
I was just telling him
about who Mamie Adams-
listen, mister, this is
no place for wisecracks.
Take off your glasses!
Why should I take off
my glasses?
I simply came in here
to get a cup of coffee!
Now, there you are! I don't
have to eat in a joint like this.
I make an innocent remark,
and I get in a great big
argument with a bunch of country...
did you hear what he said? No.
A lot of action going around
here today. Who was that guy?
Oh, I don't know.
Some fresh guy.
I was going
to let him have one.
He made a crack about
Ellie. Oh, he did, did he?
Now, wait a minute. Nobody
said anything about Ellie May.
Well, he made her
sore, didn't he?
The whole thing's
a mistake.
Ain't nobody gonna say nothing
about Ellie May while I'm around.
It was a mistake.
It better be.
Well, it was.
You know al-
how he always gets
balled-up about everything.
Why don't you let me
do the dishes?
Oh, I don't mind
doing them, grampy.
Aw, don't let a thing
like that upset you.
I'm all right now.
Chico, you'd better go out
and look after the customers.
Si.
Ooh, gosh.
Ain't there a lot, huh? A lot
more than there was yesterday.
wash, that's the time to complain.
I still don't know what happened
between Ellie May and that guy.
Ask benny. He knows
more about it than I do.
How about it, benny?
What happened?
Well, when that old girl was
squirting water out there,
this guy says to me,
"do you know who she is?"
And I say,
"i don't know her."
And he said, uh... what'd
he say her name was?
Oh, I don't know.
A Mamie something
from primrose hill.
Wherever that is.
Yeah, I think I know.
It's the other side
of town.
You ever seen this one?
That's an old guy
taking a bath.
Oh!
Ha!
That's what my schoolteacher
did when I showed it to her.
Well, she should have. Come
on, now. I'm way ahead of you.
Oh, you can't work
all the time.
People's got to laugh.
Ho ho ho ho!
How about letting me in on the joke?
Oh, you wouldn't know one
if you heard one.
Oh,
