Gene.! Gene, the helicopters are here.!

Shut the windows.!

Watch your brother. Okay?

Watch your brother.

Suzy! Come here,

my good little boy. Yes!

Sandy, shut the windows

for me, please.

- What are you doing?

The dog stays outside.

I've told you a hundred times!

Don't put Suzy outside.

The spraying - It's gonna give him cancer!

It's not gonna give it cancer!

Don't you get environmental on me, Sherri.

Have you listened to the news lately?

It's dangerous!

They wouldn't be doing it

if it was dangerous!

[Gene] Come on, kids.!

It's all right.! Come on outside.!

It's all right.! It's safe.! Come on.!

Oh! Oh, yeah! Yeah, go on!

Get cancer!

[Suzy Continues Barking]

- Gene.!

- Get the dog out.!

- Leave the dog alone.!

- Stupid -

The dog stays out.

The dog drives me out of my mind.

- Where you going, Gene?

- Out of here.

This is the third night this week, Gene!

Why don't you start smoking again?

[Marian Whispering]

How about Friday?

Are you free this weekend?

I don't get back till Saturday, but if you

make it Sunday, I'll bring fresh trout.

[Scoffs]

[Whispering]

Marian, why did you do that?

- What?

- Invite them to our house for supper?

I didn't. You did.

- No, I didn't.

- You said, "Let's set a date."

I had to say "Let's set a date"

because you invited 'em to our house.

That was just a comment, Ralph.

What's his name again?

He's some kind of a doctor.

I think he's a dentist.

Her name is Marian.

- Marian, we don't even know them.

- Just relax.

Okay? Just... relax.

Any of those medflies

get on you today?

Ow! I got one.

Do you want me

to describe myself for you?

- I'm a blonde.

- [Baby Whines]

- - .

[Boy]

You don't do that.

- What do you do?

- [Woman] Oh, yeah?

[TV:
Commentator Continues]

These countries ship their food -

Oh, yeah?

But I'm not gonna suck it yet.

[Man]

Let's go play in your room.

Let's go.

[Commentator]

What if all this is telling us...

that every expert-

before every expert-

[Woman] Can you speak up, honey?

I can barely hear you.

- Yeah, baby. Ooh.

- [Baby Whines]

My panties are getting a little wet.

Well, I'm on my bed,

and I'm on my hands and knees...

and my mouth

is so close to your balls.

[Sighs]

Can you hear that?

Can you feel it?

Don't you want me

to lick your balls first?

Mmm. Mmm. You taste so good.

Ooh, your cock

is getting so big in my mouth.

So big.

Oh, yeah, baby,

I'm just gonna lick it-

Life's good, life's bad

- You don't like the music? You wanna go?

- We've got an early flight to catch.

- Oh, then let's go. Come on.

- And the uncertainty that keeps us goin'

You know what I mean

Yesterday you owned the world

And the next day

the world owns you

- One day everything's a lie

- You wanna drive?

And the next day

you'd swear it's all true

When you're a prisoner

- And I'm a prisoner

- [Applause, Whistling]

Yeah, I'm a prisoner of life

- [TV:
Commentator] The medfly

is already established in Los Angeles.

- Mom?

- Baby?

- Mom?

Sh*t.

Honey, what's the matter?

Did you have a bad dream?

Come on, sweetie.

Let's watch Daddy on TV.

[Grunts]

- We'll all snuggle.

- What happened?

- The helicopters scare you?

- I thought it was an earthquake.

- This is Howard Finnigan...

- [Woman] He was just frightened.

With thoughts to make you think.

Go ahead, shut it down.

I gotta go make a phone call.

It's my wife's birthday.

Okay, guys, gather 'round.

Get in line. Specimen time.

That time of the month, guys.

Fill it up.

- Yvonne!

- Hey, sweetheart.

- Cheers!

- You need some help?

- There you go.

- We just spray the stuff. We don't drink it.

You need a magnifying glass

and a tweezers to help you out?

[Yvonne]

Hey, sweetheart. Okay, you two.

Y'all haven't been taking anything,

I hope.

Don't let anything run on the sides, okay?

'Cause that gets real nasty.

[Ringing]

- Hello?

- Chad! What are you doing up so early?

- It's Mommy's birthday.

- Hey, that's right!

- Did Mom ask you to remind me?

- No.

- I'll bet she did.

- No, she didn't.!

- I'll bet she did. You can tell Daddy.

- Give me that.

- She did not!

- Go back to bed, young man.
