[Gordon] Four or five hours.

There's nobody there.

- [Stuart] You say it's good, right?

- [Vern] Yeah. Is the fishing good?

- It's gorgeous.

- Oh, good.

You've never seen anything like it.

They want to be caught.

- [Chuckling]

- They're desperate to be caught.

What's that for?

I thought I might have to

examine you later on.

Where'd you get it?

Some doctor left it in my web.

- Better take it to the lost and found.

- Yeah.

What's the menu like, babe?

The Greek's watching.

Don't order anything you can't pay for.

Pow! Pow!

Quiet! Quiet!

- No. The dog did!

Mommy, Mommy, Daddy's home.!

Daddy's home.!

That's really exciting, sweetheart.

Please finish eating.

- Bang! Bang! I saw Dada!

- Please don't point that gun at me.

Who gave the dog my belt?

[Suzy Barking]

This is completely destroyed.

Completely ruined. It's a piece of trash.

- It's a $ belt.

- [Barking Continues]

Shut up!

- That dog has got to go.

- Wanna talk about where you were last night?

No, I don't.

Not in front of the kids, I don't.

I don't want them to hear about all the

"ain-pay"and "isery-may"I saw last night.

If you would like to hear

about kids on C-R-A-C-K...

you can come in the other room.

[Suzy Growls, Barks]

Whose crack

are we talking about, Gene?

[Harriet]

I got a list here.

Um, I canceled the Times.

I stopped the mail.

Just check up on the fish-

Harriet! Enough about the fish.

Let's go.

- Okay, okay.

- Which one takes the, um, goldfish?

These are the lionfish,

and these are the goldfish.

- Come on. I don't wanna miss that plane.

- Okay.

Just feed the other fish

regular food.

- Hey, sorry. You guys are running late, huh?

- Yeah. She keeps running her mouth.

Uh-huh.

You need a hand with those?

I gotta go. Jim's gonna have a fit,

and I gotta make sure I have the tickets.

- Have a good time in Memphis.

- Thank you. Have you got the keys?

- And, um, that's it.

- All right.

- Say happy birthday to your mom.

- You're not gonna smoke in my house.

- I'm sorry.

- Thanks. Bye.

- Bye-bye.

Bye-bye, Harriet.

- Come on.

- They are so full of sh*t.

They've been good to us.

Don't smoke, Bill.

They brought us to a jazz bar, gave us

a couple of drinks. And what do we do?

We're taking care of their apartment free

for a month. They're taking advantage of us.

- Don't you have some classes or something?

- I don't punch a time card. I'm not in high school.

So, what are you gonna order?

Uh, let's see, baby.

- I can't read this.

- Honey, put on your real glasses.

Let's see.

- Tuna melt.

- Tuna melt? It's breakfast.

- Have a steak and some eggs.

- Not if I have to pay for it, baby.

You're not drinkin', are you?

- Is that what's startin'?

- No.

some more butter, please?

Oh, yeah. Okay. Butter.

[Snickering]

Is that your face,

or your neck just threw up?

- We're out of butter.
