I'm calling from the trip.

I'd like to confirm a call. How much
money was it?

It was over $1 ,000.

Was it over $10 ,000?

It's hard to believe it was storming
like crazy only two days ago.

Oh, geez, the weather's beautiful.

Changeable this time of the year.

And in the rainwater, you're all cooking
in.

Can you get hit by lightning sitting in
a hot tub?

Who cares?

You all soft -boiled yet?

I'm going to hate to break this up, but
I've got to get to the airport at 7 to

get to Hawaii.

So this trip is really to find your
roots?

You bet.

I don't know anybody that was born in
YGT.

Why would I make that up?

Because it sounds a lot better than a
winter vacation in Buffalo.

Smart move by in this place.

Well, sooner or later a man starts
thinking of having a family.

Great. We're even up with the kids on a
vibrating lock bed.

What's that?

Pawback firing?

Sounds more like gunfire.

Maybe they're hunters.

hunting for lizards? This isn't exactly
big game country.

Who else lives around here?

Oh, that's the great thing about this
part of Topanga. There may be one or two

other houses set back on the road, but
nobody comes up here to socialize.

Everybody comes up here to relax, so
everything is very laid back here.

Charlie's coming at us, troops.

Fire when ready. Fire at will.

Missed his stomach, though.

Probably when they killed him. That's
okay. You've got the idea. You shoot him

five times, shoot him dead.

Right.

You gonna be okay?

Boy, if this is mellow, I can understand
why it gets so much publicity.

Well, just be careful, because the roads
are a little tricky around here.

Remember, don't go left on Sycamore. Go
right on Oak.

Oak. Okay.

Donovan, have a great trip.

And don't worry about anything Thank you
I won't

I'll see you in a couple of weeks

Hi. What are you doing here?

Why'd you stop?

What are you doing here?

Good thing loaded.

I'm securing a perimeter.

And always assume a gun is loaded.

Sounds reasonable.

It's subdued, sir.

Uh, wait a minute. You're on private
property, mister.

You aware of that fact?

I am now.

Did you see that sign?

The trespassers will be shot.

Uh, I'm not a trespasser. I'm lost.

No kidding. Turn your tail around.
Follow the road back to the fork.

Take a right at Oak.

Hey, no problem.

Something kind of fascinating on the
weather wire.

You walked all the way over here to tell
me that the sun's coming out at 12 o

'clock instead of 11?

Do you know what a Pacific high is?

Three kids on a surfboard smoking a
joint.

It's a high -pressure system. Lies about
300 miles off San Diego.

Now, as long as it's in place, storms
coming in from Alaska and Hawaii are

deflected north.

You really understand that stuff, Bill?

When you're piloting a hot air balloon
over Crete, you better understand the

weather.

Also, if you've flown bomber missions in
the South Pacific, like I did.

I thought you were with the OSS during
the war. Yeah, I did that, too.

Now, we've had flash flood alerts, but
it hasn't gone to warning yet. So what

are you telling me? Is that storm big
enough to go on the budget?

Well, I don't very much like the look of
this low -pressure system off Hawaii.

Poor Donovan. Don't tell me they're
getting bad weather in Hawaii.

Oh, no, no. Hey, Hawaii's pretty darn
nice. You see, the storms keep passing

the islands.

Anyway, if I were you, I'd batten down
the hatches weather -wise. You're

about this?

I once had to deliver a baby during a
tropical storm on Guadalcanal.

Sure wish someone had warned me it was
coming.

The baby or the storm?

Glad he was on our side.

Yeah.

I guess you better get over to the
county reservoir in Topanga. See what

doing about the overflow situation.

If we get these new storms, they're
really in trouble.

I was up near there yesterday at
Donovan's before he left.

You know, I either dreamed this or I saw
something very strange in the woods.

Some kind of military maneuvers
involving children.

I've seen some interesting things after
coming out of Donovan's hot tub, too.

into trouble during the building boom
after World War II.

That's when there was no control over
flood drainage.

I wouldn't say there was none, but we
didn't build flood systems that kept up

with the new housing.

The city grew up too fast.

Whose fault was that? Poor planning by
the city?

Nothing malicious about it.

I think it was done mostly out of
ignorance.

Ignorance?

About the water.

where it wants to go, where the mud
wants to go.

Pretty soon, we were building houses on
unsafe ground.

Lots of paving and rooftops.

Instead of allowing the water to meander
through the grass and soak up

naturally, it goes to a low spot.

So that's why we have street flooding
every year.

Right.

So, Los Angeles was left with a very
expensive problem.

Drainage.

By 1970, we found the solution to that
problem with three bond issues.

Raised over a billion dollars.

It still seems to me that if anyone had
been thinking of the public welfare,

boom or no boom, we could have had a
system all along that worked.

You're living out west, my friend.

And the west was built on one great
motto.

Every man for himself.

The sound grew up on greed.

You know...

I saw a family living in the woods out
here. Little boy carries a gun. Father

thinks he's General Patton. You ever
hear of him?

We got plenty of weirdos up here.

Artists and actors, mostly.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

I've got the flood stuff, but I don't
know. It doesn't look like it's going to

rain.

Come back in. We've got something
cooking at the school board. Looks like

another bit bite.

Just a second, Lou. Hey!

Just go straight down there.

I'll talk to you later, Luke.

Rossi.

Rossi?

And I believe it's going to turn into a
full -scale depression.

I don't believe that the government can
stop it.

And the dollar is on a downward spiral.

My savings aren't worth anything.

I'm afraid of the future.

The sad truth is that the rest of the
world is no better off, and we don't

any control over it.

The fall of, say, the Finnish Varka
could create a domino effect in the

market that could devastate us. What can
we do?

First of all, get rid of all your paper.

Paper money.

Paper stocks and bonds. Paper notes.

Because when the time comes that
controls fail, banks close, and the

worth one -tenth of its face value, a
wheelbarrow full of paper money

might buy you a loaf of bread.

Today I'm going to show you how to buy
gold, diamonds, silver coins, farmland,

and dried foods.

Because I'm afraid, too.

I'm afraid that the only investment
that'll be worth anything is what we can

barter.

Sound primitive?

Well, it's gonna be.

And you'd better be ready for it if you
want to survive.

Although the Weather Service won't
commit itself to this new storm, but any

fool can see that it's coming.

You still need a quote. I could quote
myself.

What about that independent
meteorologist? What's her name? The one

over since her husband died. Yeah,
Henrietta Gordon. Very sharp gal.

You know, I think she's got a crush on
me.

Her and Greta Garbo.

These people call themselves
survivalists. Basically, they believe

going to end.

Oh, yeah? How?

They each have their own scenario.

It could be runaway inflation, nuclear
war, earthquakes, economic collapse,

communist takeover, or a general rolling
breakdown.

Fake turkey breast is the first sign.

They're into planning.

There's an obsession with some of them.
There's nothing wrong with planning for

an emergency.

You can't plan for the unexpected.

Well, I'm all in favor of keeping fresh
batteries in my flashlight.

Haven't you ever wondered what to do in
an earthquake or some other disaster?

Just use common sense if you have any.

The survivalist idea is more
sophisticated.

Some have elaborate plans to get out of
the city and go to their rural

hideaways. No kidding.

Oh, yeah.

They stockpile food and ammo and make
plans to protect themselves from the

ravaging hordes.

How do you know so much about them?

I'm one of them.

Kevin would say to check the statistics.

Yeah, well, that's why I'm calling you,
dear heart.

Hold on, Wild Bill.

Let's see if we can prove you right.

How are they treating you at the trip?

I'm not extreme about it.

We do spend 25 % of our food budget to
build stocks of storable food.

We keep ours in my son's closet.

Away from the tennis shoes, I hope. Are
a lot of people doing this kind of

thing? Sure seems like it.

Look at it this way.

In 73, we had a 4 % shortage of
gasoline, and people were getting into

fights at the pump.

What would it be like if it was a 40 %
shortage?

Well, you forget there were shortages
during World War II.

We had rationing and everybody
cooperated. Meatless Tuesdays, nobody

the market.

Lou? Yeah, Bill?

Just got a confirmed report from
Henrietta Gordon. That series of storms

its way.

Okay, let's go with it. More rain?

Lots of it.

Then I was right.

About what?

I almost got my car washed today.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment.

Year on A &E.

Boy, it is crazy out there. I must have
seen a dozen accidents on the way in.

L .A. people just don't know how to
drive in the rain. I kind of like the

Makes you think you're living in a place
that has weather.

Ever been in a flash flood?

No, have you?

Well, when I was a boy.

Don't encourage him.

You see, when I was growing up on a
ranch, my uncle and I, he was half

We had to pull about 100 head of cattle
out of the mud on horseback.

I thought you said you grew up in
Germany.

Oh, yeah. Well, those are my early
years.

For God's sake, Bill, how many chowders
did you have?

You know, Burroughs, I've been thinking
about what you said about that

survivalist stuff you're into.

Want to learn more about it to protect
yourself?

Want to know more about it to do a
story? I think you guys are bananas.

Keep thinking it.

If you found yourself in a real survival
situation with a pack of wet matches

and a flashlight that won't work, you've
changed your tone. I did that once.

Did what?

Went into the wilderness by myself when
I was a kid in Maine. All I had was a

knife and a blanket.

Gee, Wild Bill, you've seen everything
but the tiger's body on top of

Kilimanjaro. It's a leopard.

What about it, Lou? As a story, the
survivalists.

Rossi, they're just a bunch of isolated
nuts.

Isolated? Isolated?

Morton Leonard's What If newsletter has
a circulation of over 100 ,000. I found

out these mail -order dry food
businesses did over a million bucks last

I'm telling you, fear of the future is
big business. Lou, did you see this?

White slides in Malibu. I guess it's the
official start of the rain season.

Who we got in Malibu?

Rosenthal's in Calabasas. Can we get
him? I'll try.

Donovan, I didn't recognize you without
a vest.

Who we got working Caltrain? Lou, I
think Ken Robbins is on. I'll give him a

call. All right.

Excuse me, Lou. What about the
survivalists?

Rossi, we got a big story here.

Bigger than the imminent collapse of
Western civilization as we know it?

When it collapses, Rossi, it's your
story.

The lecture the other day, Morton
Leonard, right?

I was there.

And up in Topanga, snooping around where
you shouldn't be. What's your game? Who

are you with?

Los Angeles Tribune. The Tribune?

My name's Joe Rossi. I'm a reporter.

Who'd you think I was? You could be
anybody.

One of the competitors.

Some loon.

Maybe a spy.

That's imaginative. I am 100 % serious.

I've got some valuable stuff here.

You don't think our enemies want to know
what they're up against?

I know you're in the dried food
business, but what are all these books?

What about them?

Chilling Made Easy Part One.

The World Atlas of Knife Fighting.

Build Your Own Mortars.

Professional Assassination Techniques.
It's a free country, isn't it? People

have a right to read what they want.

But these booklets are very specific.

and instruction manuals on how to kill
people.

I was a U .S. Army staff officer, okay?

Green beret, highly decorated, purple
heart, the whole bit, okay?

I've seen chaos in Cambodia and Laos.
There's no reason it can't happen here.

People have a right to protect
themselves.

You want to tell me how that's going to
happen?

There could be lots of ways.

I think the most likely is race riots.

Starting cities and spread violence,
looting.

Put those books down.

But I tell you, with Cummings, you
better do some hard thinking about what

would and would not do in a life -and
-death situation.

You carry a gun?

What for?

If I were you, your line of work, I'd
carry a Mini Derringer NAA -22LR.

It's not optimal as a primary defensive
weapon, of course. I understand.

But it's very effective on contact, up
against the ribs of the throat.

And that's all the range you need.

95 % of all the shooting in the United
States takes place within 25 feet.

Or is that 25 yards?

I'm for 25 yards.

Uh, uh, rosy dried food products?

Yeah.

We ship in unmarked cartons and unmarked
trucks.

People don't want their neighbors to
know what they've got.

One of these will feed a family of five
for three months.

Aren't you almost creating the
atmosphere for panic and violence by

for it like this?

See, people in this country used to
believe in a better tomorrow.

I don't think they believe in that
anymore.

But you're sending out books on how to
kill.

That's right, and I do it out of love.

Love? For people who think like I do.

Those who are prepared to survive
deserve to survive.

Updated weather. Boil it down for your
lead. You have an endearing sense of

humor. You got a map of last year's
blood fires?

The areas that were set by fire last
year are prime for mudflats now.

Hey, where's that chart of the Sea of
Cortez?

Ever do any spearfishing off Baja?

The brush fires?

Got it. Lou, this weather thing has me
worried. Are you sending crews out?

Working on it.

We're hitting San Bernardino, Mount
Baldy, Chajunda, and Tribuco Canyon.

And south -facing beaches.

Is this where the wind coming in? Oh,
the wind and surf will melt those

like cotton candy.

Hey, kind of a tasty image. Don't fall
in love with it.

All right.

Your mother dress you this morning?

What is it, Lou? The San Diego Freeway?
The El Cap Reservoir? You sure you want

to go out there without risk?

The pros play hurt, Lou.

Okay. Marina Del Rey. We've got a report
that a lot of boats sing at their

births. I'll need a boat to get there.

Is this a real camera?

It's like a toy. It's for underwater.

Yeah? Really? Like you can take pictures
of fish and stuff? We may get a chance.

Uh, Mark, this is the map book. We'll
call in the coordinates and you come out

and meet us, okay? Okay, uh, where will
it be? We won't know until we get there.

But when we do, it won't be any further
dry and we'll have to wait in the car

for you to show up.

Probably some abandoned gas station or
somewhere.

All right, that sounds neat.

It won't be neat.

Now don't keep us waiting, okay? Stay by
the phone, we'll call.

Don't get too wet.

It flows in the East Valley. Two grades
of strand. It can't get out because of

the water. Okay, tell Sweeney to stay on
it.

Also, in San Bernardino, a grave got
wiped out and a corpse was ended up in

people's back yard. One inch of rain per
hour on the nose.

Nuts. What did I say?

1 .1.

Do you guys know there's a flood out
there?

I mean it, a real one. All canyon roads
to the valley are closed except for

Benedict and Sepulveda.

I'll check with CHP.

Hey, there's a man in Brentwood who was
electrocuted when he stepped into a

puddle of water that was charged by
downed electric lines.

Lightning storms, cars floating down
Laurel Canyon.

Floating? The good news is the storm
will be over in about an hour.

Oh, okay.

The bad news is there's another one
right behind it on the way.

City room.

Oh, yeah, it's right here. Hold on,
Luke.

Hello.

Well, hello, City Desk.

Geez, I heard about the terrible weather
you're having there. I thought I'd call

and send a little Hawaiian sunshine your
way.

We appreciate it.

The mud must be moving up in Topanga. I
was getting a little concerned about the

hill behind my house.

Anything I can do?

Well, now that you mention it, there's
some big rolls of plastic on the port

that might throw up on the hill to keep
the mud from... Coming down into the

house. I had to ask.

No, I didn't mean that you should do it,
but maybe you could get somebody.

Like who?

Never mind, I'll do it. I appreciate it,
Lou.

The key's under the flower pot.

Okay.

Donovan, you don't have to call again.

Yeah.

Aloha.

Lou,

I just remembered. You might have
trouble starting your car.

What makes you say that?

Well, when I came back just now, I
started to pull into the garage, but I

how fast the water was rising, so I
didn't park there.

What about the rest of us?

Did it occur to you to come up here and
tell the rest of us?

I guess not.

Maybe it's lucky that your car's okay.

You're gonna need it.

You smell something?

Yes.

Hey, shut it off.

How?

There.

How do we get it back on?

We won't.

There's a leak in the line.

Rossi, we're here now. Let's put the
plastic on the hill and then go.

Go get the car. We can use the
headlights.

Right.

Whoa!

It's dead. It won't die.

Maybe we can send up a flight watch on
the house.

We can try calling a tow truck.

Do you believe this? He just bought the
place.

I'll get some.

Probably be hours before we get a tow.

They still do a lot of good.

What's the matter?

All dead.

Lines must be down.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

of a cozy fire like I wish I were?

My woods are all neatly stacked outside
in three feet of water.

I heard on the radio the National
Guardsman called out Palm Springs.

Yeah, I gotta sandbag those tennis
courts.

There's already been some rooting there
and some spectacular rescues.

Sheriff's deputies wearing snorkeling
equipment. This is no ordinary storm.

You want me to call in additional help?

Every available reporter I call the
stringers into.

Find something to keep you warm.

Must be a psychiatrist.

Darwin goes to a psychiatrist?

No, he goes out with one.

Oh.

I'm starving.

Think there's any danger from that hill
behind us?

You mean a mudslide?

I don't know. We'll check the stream out
back as soon as it's light.

If the water's running clear, we should
be okay. If it's muddy... Mud can move

pretty fast, you know.

I know.

It'll wipe out a whole house in about 20
seconds.

Without warning.

What have we got here? Let's see.
Gherkins.

Pellets.

Ah, anchovies.

Condensed cream of mushroom soup.

Terrific.

I think we're going to make it.

I don't drink much, you know.

What the hell? I'm not driving.

This is frustrating.

A big story like this breaking, and
where are we?

Right in the middle of it.

Yeah.

Where's Mark?

We got a full bag of film and an
exclusive.

I tried to track him down. What do you
have?

Four kids tried rafting in a flood
control channel and were drowned.

We were there when they pulled out over
the body.

Okay, what else do you have? Hey,
where's Billy?

Talking to the rescue team. Also, the
roof collapsed on one of those half

-million -dollar condos on the beach.
Boy, the way they build those houses.

hold it a second. Mark.

Mark is here. Listen, let me have your
coordinates.

E7D4.

headquarters of the flood control
district. Got it?

Mark, what happened?

I was supposed to meet him at a
laundromat, but when I got there, it was

station and nobody was waiting.

I was supposed to meet him at
coordinates E7, D4 on Washington

Mark, you have to check the page.

See, D7, E4, Washington Boulevard in the
marina, not Culver City.

long street, huh?

You think you can find him now?

Yeah.

Then do it.

Yes, sir.

Look, Lou.

I know I'm a good reporter because I'm
very objective about my own work.

But, well, you don't throw compliments
around and, uh... Oh.

What do you really think of me as a
writer?

Oh, it's a dumb question. You don't have
to answer that.

Good.

What do you mean by that?

Find your...

You're a good writer.

Hey, that's great.

Thanks.

That's good to hear.

You want me to tell you what I think of
you as an editor?

Not particularly.

Some young fellow from the National
Weather Service told me we're going to

a hurricane.

A hurricane?

What'd you tell him?

I asked him what his name was so I could
quote him. We've never had a hurricane

in Southern California.

They always blow themselves out into
tropical storms before they get here.

Of course they do.

So, uh, what are you looking at tonight?

Well, you've got a system of storms
stacked up to the international date

like planes at an airport.

When one blows itself out, another blows
itself in. How long do you figure it'll

last? Could go on a week.

Henrietta, I was wondering, you know, we
talk on the telephone all the time and

so forth.

Do you think we could meet someday for a
coffee?

Well, Wild Bill, I don't see why not.

That'd be swell.

See, I kind of have a mental picture of
you.

I have one of you, too.

Stuck, Bill.

Bald. Pushy eyebrows.

Big hands used to out the work.

And smoke a pipe.

Am I right?

Close.

How soon did Lou say he can get in?

No answer at his house.

Keep trying.

Always wondered, how come you left
Minneapolis?

Lost my job. My wife and I split up.

The kids were grown and left.

Now they keep me there.

How come your wife left you?

Honestly, I'd rather not talk about
that.

Just thought I'd get it off your chest.

I mean, here we are. It's a rainy night.

It's a good time to really relate.

I don't want to relate.

I just want to drink until we can get
out of here.

We never print phone numbers. This is an
exception.

I said I would authorize it.

I think you're overstepping your
authority.

That's why I want to get Charlie's
judgment on this. I said that I would

the responsibility.

I don't think you can do that. Charlie,
can we print the number of the friends

of trees so people can volunteer to
sandbag?

No.

Look, if printing screws up and prints
the wrong number, some poor slob could

deluged with hundreds of phone calls.
And we'll be sued.

But just say, for more information, find
your nearest chapter of Friends of

Trees in your local directory. That's
what I was going to suggest, if she'd

given me the chance. I think it would be
more useful if we made an exception and

we printed the phone number. This is an
emergency.

You want to take responsibility for
checking the proofs. Go ahead.

No problem, Charlie.

I'm always glad to accept
responsibility.

You know, I was reading last night
about...

The survival stopped before I went to
sleep.

And I started thinking about starving
people running through my neighborhood.

And me shooting at them from windows.

Crazy.

True.

I remember that story last year about a
woman that was

chilled in her bedroom by a wall of mud.

He swept right in.

Husband was standing five feet from her.

Couldn't save her.

She suffocated.

Lexus asked to remind me to bring
somebody else. You're a real pain, you

that?

I thought we were beginning to get a
little closer.

I'm not close to anybody.

I don't want to rub people the wrong
way.

It's part of my reputation.

I'm proud of them.

People can think what they want. It
doesn't bother me.

Southern California is better prepared
for disasters than most places.

I bet.

We have them all the time.

Fire cycles and flood cycles,
earthquakes, stretches beyond what

To me, like, you're pretty well
stretched out here.

Sure. You got every highway in the
county flooded, 12 -foot surf on the

and houses sliding into canyons left and
right. Can you handle it? Well, we

mobilized a lot of heavy equipment from
the private vendors. You know, I can't

think of one time when there was a death
due to a failure by a government agency

during a disaster cycle.

Now, we'll never admit we're 100 %
prepared, but we don't cause many deaths

either. It's amazing.

This is a decision I made a long time
ago.

If you're going to be good, good.

I mean, if the story is what comes
first, you're going to make

enemies.

I guess so.

Sure.

Hey, I'm not out to win any popularity
contests.

You're reading too hard on yourself.

A reporter with my kind drive just isn't
likely to make many friends.

If it means anything to you, I don't
think you're such a bad guy.

I forgot to bring some home.

Isn't that poor planning?

Mistakes are all right if you learn from
them.

Where are you going to get it?

That guy down the road. The guy with the
hot tub. I saw some on his porch.

I'll pick it up at first light.

I don't think he's home.

That's okay.

I'll just borrow it from him.

And Jesse, if anybody comes snooping
around here, remember what I told you.

Don't let anybody trick you into letting
him in.

We'll continue in a moment here on A &E.

How's the water coming down the hill
look? Pretty muddy.

We should get that plastic up and get
out of here.

I found some wooden pegs out there.

Want some breakfast?

You gotta be kidding.

No. You sit here, Lou. You'll need your
strength.

The first rule of survival, be patient
and help will come.

You know who that is?

Cooper, the guy I interviewed.

Excuse me, sir.

What are you doing?

Hey, Rodney.

Did Art Donovan say you could have that?

Let's put them around.

Much obliged, gentlemen.

Any time.

We may be hurt.

We can only hope.

Yeah, I know, but... You held a gun on
us, Rossi.

God damn it.

Wherever he is, he would have called.

He would have known we needed everybody
last time. Even if he was stuck, he

would have called.

Maybe his phone's out. He could send a
coffee boy over to his house.

I already did. There's nobody there.

Now I've really got the creeps.

Maybe he's out on a date.

You know, overnight somewhere.

He called.

I've really got a bad feeling about
this. I think we should call the police.

Charlie, I was really looking for Lou.

So are we.

Well, here I am all the way out here in
Hawaii and worrying about my house and I

can't get through to him. What are you
talking about?

Well, I talked to him yesterday about
four o 'clock your time. I asked him to

up to my place and throw some plastic on
the hill because of the rain. He said

he'd do it. Well, nobody's heard from
Lou since.

That doesn't sound good.

If you're looking for Lou, why don't you
ask Rossi?

Second, Donovan, why?

I saw them leave together when I was
coming on last night.

Rossi? Anybody seen Rossi? No.

What? Maybe Rossi drove Lou up to my
place.

If you hear something, will you please
call me? It's awful being out here and

not knowing.

Okay, we will.

Have fun.

Lou and Rossi marooned in the same house
together.

Yeah. Out of that will either come a six
-part story or a murder -suicide.

Topanga's one of the areas that was
hardest hit.

The only way in is by helicopter.

Bud Warner over at Channel 10 is a good
friend.

They have a news watch, copter.

Okay, it's loaded. I believe you.

Better get out of here.

Listen to me. Your father's hurt.

The jeep turned over down the road.

Yeah? I'm sorry.

You should be.

I just didn't know if you were mad at me
or not.

Relax, Rossi.

We'll get a roadster to pick us up.

General Kent, I hate to be saved by
television.

What a scorecard.

23 killed, 35 homes destroyed, 751
damaged.

I love this stuff about the survivors.

Yeah, you ask them why they don't move
someplace safer, they say, because I

the view. This is wonderful.

This old couple refused to evacuate
because the last time they evacuated

house in Czechoslovakia, they lost it to
the Russians.

I'll put their number on your desk, the
disaster office.

That'll help get you a loan.

Why do I need a loan?

To cover mud seepage in the living room.

Kitchen, garage, and four jars of
olives.

Also, you better give me a new address.

What are you talking about?

The hill has shifted just the slightest
bit.

Your house, which used to be at 1000
Eagle Ridge, has now slipped down to

Approximately. Have a good time. I'll
see you on Monday.

I hope nobody has a lot invested in
Finland.

The market is just falling against the
dollar.

The market? You're kidding.

Everybody's watching the Dutch Gilders.

The gilder slips, the Deutschmark gets a
little wobbly, and people lose faith in

the end.

If that happens, American stocks would
take a nosedive.

Food prices would go up.

You know what that does to the cost of
living, isn't it?

We may start to see some shortages.

You know, meat, gasoline.
