Well, well, well, Nicholas, I have an
extremely interesting hand, so I'm

you to be careful.

It is your bet. What do you do?

I bet one licorice. You're only opening
for one licorice?

You must have a very weak hand.

So, I will see that bet of one licorice,
and I will raise you

five lemon and lime.

I think...

live it alive, and raise you all these.

You're raising all of those?

Aha!

I get it. You must be bluffing. Well, I
am going to see that bet because

you cannot bluff a bluffer. So in the
future, young man, beware... Dad, can

beat a straight flush?

A straight flush?

Well, why did you only open for one
licorice with a straight flush?

You hate licorice.

I was bluffing.

No, no, no. Nobody bluffs on a good
hand.

But that's what makes a great bluffer.

There's a magic in the early morning we
found

when the sunrise smiles on everything

around.

Always spend our days like bright and
shiny new dawn.

If we're ever puzzled by the changing
time.

There's a plate of homemade wishes on
the kitchen window

sill.

And it is enough.

liverwurst and a slice of slightly aged
Wisconsin cheddar.

Hey, you're sure it's okay for me to
play in the poker game? Oh, yes, of

Max is bringing a new man, too. You will
be perfectly welcome.

Oh, boy, I cannot wait to see the guys'
faces when they see these things of

beauty that I have prepared.

You know, you have a very peculiar way,
Abby, of admiring my culinary expertise.

Oh, Tom, I'm sorry. It's not your
sandwiches.

Well, I've been doing this on and off
all day, and I just can't seem to shake

these hiccups.

Oh, well, then why didn't you say
something? What you need is the patented

Bradford family cure. A family cure.

Oh, yes. Now, what you do, watch me
closely.

First, you take a deep breath.

Then you... Tom, I've tried holding my
breath. Yeah, but have you tried

your fingers in your ears?

What? Like this.

You know, it may look funny, but it's
the only surefire method for hiccup

relief.

So, we've moved to the top of the fourth
with the Cyclones holding on to a 3 -0

lead over Modesto.

So far, Merle the Pearl has had the
meeting out of his hands, mixing his

well. I thought I heard the game.

How's Merle doing?

Oh, he's pitching shutout ball.

Why do you look so worried?

Oh, not worried.

Panicked. Oh, Mary, I've gone through
everything at my place. I was halfway

through these, and I still can't find
anything to wear.

Susan, where are you going? Oh, to meet
Linda May.

Linda who?

Stockwell, Merle's sister from Siloam
Springs.

Oh, right.

She's coming to spend a week with us,
and I really want to make the right

impression on her.

I was wondering when they were going to
send someone to check out the new in

-laws. Yeah, well, it's tonight, and
since Merle's pitching to Modesto, I

to meet her bus, take her back to our
place, and entertain her until Merle

home. Well, when do we get to meet her?
Not for a couple of days. I want her to

get used to me before I subject her to
the entire Bradford menagerie. Oh, come

on, Susan.

You know she's going to love you.

Oh, come on, Mary. What do I have in
common with a country girl from

A country boy named Merle.

Okay, hot shot.

What is it?

Queen of Diamonds.

Hey, that was pretty good. How'd you do
it?

Easy. The cards are marked.

Yeah? Where'd you get them?

Well, I traded Kenny P. Landers, my ice
case for the cards, and to the forest.

Yeah, he's pretty neat. Let's hear him
talk.

Well, I'm not good at it. My lips move.

Well, what do you expect?

It takes a long time and a lot of
practice to learn how to be a

It's like playing guitar.

Yeah, but I feel funny talking to
myself.

Well, I read once that the secret to
ventriloquism is to make believe that

dummy's a real person.

Like who?

Well, who does he remind you of?

Kenny P.

Landers. Then make him talk like Kenny
P.

Only, uh, don't do it around Dad.

Oh, here. These will be great.

Give you that extra little panache. Yep.
Take a look.

Oh. Joanie, so far I've stubbed two
toes, bruised an ankle, and skinned my

Listed face effects, huh?

I'm not cut out to be a stripper. Oh,
no, Nancy, I know it's hard, but gypsy

requires six chorus girls. The rep
company only has five. You don't want me

blow it as a choreographer, do you?
Well, then why don't you just get

to be number six? After all, she is the
dancer of the family. Believe me, I

would have if I could have. She's got a
cold.

Well, I can't learn these steps by
Sunday.

Sunday? You've got to learn them by
tonight.

Tonight? Yes, the rest of the girls are
coming over for dress rehearsal.

Dress rehearsal?

Well, you're right.

Maybe in this play it's undress
rehearsal.

Hi, Ab. Ready to go to the movies?

Sorry, I didn't get that.

I can't go. I've got hiccups.

I just can't seem to get rid of them.

Have you tried putting your head under
cold water?

My cards. I can't find my cards.

What? The poker game starts in one hour,
and I can't find a deck of cards.

Oh, well, the last time I looked,
there's a deck of cards in the armoire.

thanks.

Hi, Janet.

Hi. Abby, you're the last one I have to
ask my favor to.

What favor?

Well, I have a chance to raise my
polysigrate if everyone promises to stay

the phone tonight.

How will everybody staying off the phone
help your polysigrate?

Well, see, Kathy Milton and I are doing
a paper predicting results for the local

elections today. We are both supposed to
go down to voting headquarters tonight,

but I got this stupid cold, so poor
Kathy has to go down there by herself.

She's going to call every time a
precinct comes in, and I'm going to

real results to our predictions.

We pick some real dark horses.

Great. Well, you can count on us because
we're going to the movies.

We are?

As soon as we get rid of your hiccup.

Wait a minute.

Yes, Dad?

Am I having a nightmare, or are you
really dressed like that?

Oh, it's the new image for our band,
Dad. We dress like a motorcycle gang,

we're changing our name to the Wild
Rebels.

Wonderful. What are you rebelling
against?

Lack of gigs.

Later.

Nicholas. No consideration.

Okay, straight him.

Close his press.

Both tied.

Come on.

If I do say so myself, we put together a
pretty good outfit.

Well, it's not exactly Halston, but I
guess it'll do.

It helps. Great.

And there's a line drive back to the
mound. Look out!

Oh, Merle, Merle is down.

Can't tell where it hit him, but it
looks bad from up here.

Merle? Teammates gathered around him on
the mound. Manager Eddie Gravis is out

there. And the Cyclones trainer now is
hunched over Stockwell.

And wait, now Gravis is waving to the
dugout. Mary, I've got to get to him.

right, see if you can call first. It
might not be that serious.

Since he got stung by that lion's shot,
I've got the feeling he may be on...

Oh, Mary, I don't get this. No one's
answering at the stadium. Now, maybe

took him to a hospital.

Well, which hospital would they take him
to?

Probably Metropolitan.

Okay, I'll call you as soon as I find
anything out. Oh, Linda May.

Mary, could you get her for me?

Oh, Susan, I have a cardiopulmonary
study group in an hour. I mean, we get

issued our CPR dummies tonight.

Please, Mary, we've got to get to Merle.

Okay, look, I can do both, but I'm not
going to have time to guess it. Well,

just drop her off. There's plenty of
people here to keep her company.

Okay. Thanks a lot. Okay, go.

Oh, well, you better hurry. Your bus
arrives in about a half hour. Will you

worrying? I'll get her. Don't tell them
anything about Merle. I don't want to

get worried. I promise nobody knows
anything about Merle until you get back.

Okay, thanks, Mary. You're the greatest.
Bye.

No, Mama.

I'm not over at Merle's. I'm at the
Sacramento bus station.

Merle and his bride haven't come to pick
me up yet, and it's kind of scary.

Oh, the ride was terrible, Mom. It was
even worse than that other bus trip I

had. You remember?

My senior class tripped a little rock,
and I was so nervous I got the hives.

Oh, Mama, I can't relax.

You know, I wasn't the person to send
out here to see what Merle got itself

into. I mean, I can tell already this
isn't the kind of life I'm used to.

I know, I know, I know.

I know it's a family obligation.

Yes, Mama.

Okay, I'll do my best.

I will, I'll really try.

Will Miss Linda Mae Stockwell please
report to the ticket counter for a

Oh, Mama, listen, they're calling for
me.

It must be Merlin's bride.

I'll call you back later, okay?

Okay. Bye -bye, Mama.

Excuse me.

Are you answering the page for Linda Mae
Stockwell?

Why, yes.

Yes, I'm Linda Mae.

I'm glad to meet you. I'm Mary Bradford,
Susan's sister.

Oh, yeah.

I remember you from the wedding pictures
Merle sent us. Well, welcome to

Sacramento. Thanks.

It's nice to be here finally.

Listen, Mary, how come Merle and Susan
didn't come out to meet me?

Oh, well, Merle's pitching in Modesto
tonight. Well,

they knew I was coming. I was coming,
didn't I?

Oh, yes, Linda. They knew you were
coming. It's just that Susan had to go

someplace. It was a very unexpected
someplace.

Oh, it was a real important someplace.

Well, see, she had to take care of a
sick friend.

Oh, that's good.

But anyway, you're just going to love
meeting all your new relatives.

Why don't we go?

Oh, God, you may.

Who are they?

Oh, them?

That's just the gang my brother plays
with.

Oh. Come on.

I don't believe it. I pulled an inside
straight.

Do you have to gloat over every hand you
win?

Oh, you don't understand, Mr. Harris. I
hardly ever win like this.

Well, I may be new to this game, but I'm
not new to poker.

The night is young and anything can
happen in a deal.

Well, welcome to home sweet home.

What

is going

on in there?

That's just a poker game.

mean gambling?

Not the way they play it.

Look, Linda, I'm really sorry, but I've
got to get my books and get to class.

I'm really running late.

Oh, okay.

Listen, would you mind if I borrowed
your telephone?

I promised my mom I'd keep in touch.

Sure, but if I were you, I'd grab it
while you still have a dial time. My

Elizabeth is going to keep it pretty
busy later checking on her dark horses.

Horses? Hello, you little lovelies.

Daddy must be having a pretty good
night.

Excuse me, Linda Mae, but I promise, as
soon as I can, I'll send someone right

down to introduce everybody.

Oh, Dad, I think I've had a little too
much. Down the hat.

Come on.

Oh,

Nicholas,

you're just the person I wanted to see.
I am?

This is my brother, Nicholas.

Oh, Hattie.

Nicholas, this is Merle's sister, Linda
May. Can you play baseball like Merle?

Oh, I'm afraid not, Nicholas.

Oh, that's okay.

Since you're Merle's sister and all,
we're glad to meet you.

Glad to meet you, too, Nicholas.

That's good. Now, look, Nicholas will
introduce you to everybody, right?

Okay, have a good time. Bye -bye.

And you can go both ways as long as you
declare first.

Right?

Hello,

Mama? It's me.

No, no, I'm not over at Merle's. I'm
over at the in -laws.

Well... Well, I have to tell you, Mama,
they're a little different.

Well, let's just... They're not exactly
the kind of people you could take to a

church social in Siloam Springs.

Oh, no, Mama, I don't mean that. I'm
sure they're real nice folks. You know,

just met the little fella, Nicholas, and
he seems real nice and normal.

Hello?

Mama, I gotta go.

But maybe you better stay by the phone
tonight.

Just in case.

How do you do, Boris?

It's nice to meet you.

Hey, Nicholas, was that you on the
phone? You know I've expected important

results. Oh, hey, that was my fault. I
was tying up the line. I'm sorry.

Oh, uh, that's okay.

I'm Linda Mae Stockwell, Merle's sister.

Oh, hi.

I'm Elizabeth.

Hello.

Stay away from her. She's full of gum.

Excuse me, Nicholas.

Elizabeth. Is he normal?

Oh, for Bradford, yeah.

Excuse me.

Kathy.

Okay.

What? A Ted DeWood shot and we picked
it?

That's... Hold on a second, okay?

Nicholas, why don't you take Linda Bay
upstairs so she can freshen up?

Oh, no, no. That's okay.

I can find my way just... Fine, thank
you.

Okay, um, how did they finish to the
fourth?

Wow, that's great. He would?

I'm glad. He'll make a great councilman.

Oh, give to me straight, Doc.

Ah, you're fine.

But in the future, I would advise you to
stay out of the way of those line

drives.

Will do, Doc.

But for now, there's nothing keeping you
from getting dressed and out of here.

You mean I can go back to Sacramento
tonight?

The team bus will be here in a couple of
minutes.

Thank you.

Oh, Doc, one more thing.

Who won?

Well, you did.

Five zip.

There is your watch. Do you realize we
worked right through dinner? I'll faint

if I don't get any nourishment.

Nourishment is for later. Now it is
work, work, work, okay?

All right.

Come on, Nancy. You'd be dynamite if you
just relaxed.

If I were any more relaxed, I'd be
asleep.

Oh, no, come on. Have fun with it.

Hey, that's great!

Right. Now, really sell yourself.

What's wrong?

Well, can't you hear it, man? My amp's
screaming again.

So? It's just the sound we need. Ernie,
you don't understand. With each scream,

it could be its last.

Man, this is a drag.

What we really need is some new
equipment. But we can't afford new

until we get some gigs.

Well, I guarantee that with these new
threads, we'll get the gigs.

Ernie, I don't know, man. It's a toss
-up.

I mean, we may end up with some extra
nights at some nightclubs or something,

but we're leaving ourselves totally out
of the market for weddings and

retirement parties and bar mitzvahs.

Trust me, Bradford.

This is definitely our ideal look.

Yeah, well, a look isn't anything
without a sound.

Why don't you guys take five? I'll see
if I can't think.

your little white, and two more little
white.

I'm out. Anybody want anything from the
kitchen?

Yeah, I'll have a beer.

Might as well get something for my
money.

All right.

Read them and weep.

Hey,

I thought you guys were going to the
movies.

We were.

I'm afraid Abby still has her hiccup.

I'm sorry.

How are you doing?

Well, not as well as Dad.

Hey, Janet, can I talk to you for a
second?

Look, go upstairs and tell Joanie that
Abby needs her sparrow hiccup cured.

But, David, she's had so many already.

Trust me, this won't work.

Are you sure we need to do this? You
heard what Janet said. There's no other

answer. Yes, but this is insane. It's
better than letting her go on suffering.

Now, you just go up and lie down, and
I'm sure you'll be fine in no time.

Did I just hear a scream?

Probably.

You gonna do something about it?

If you insist.

Nicholas, stop screaming!

Oh, see?

There's nothing like a good scare to
cure you of the... Cups.

Am I going to get out of here?

I could swear there was a screwdriver in
there.

Bradford, you're working too hard.

Let me fix the amp.

Are you kidding? You can't even hang up
the phone without two tries.

Huh?

Could anybody help a damsel in distress?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Hey, she's kind of cute.

Yeah, what's she for?

Practicing cardiopulmonary
resuscitation.

Sorry I asked.

You know, mouth to mouth.

Sounds like fun.

Yeah. Where's she going?

Upstairs. I have to practice my chest
pounding.

Now that really sounds like fun. Really?
Come on, dummy.

Ernie, grab the legs.

Thanks, Ernie.

Man, she sure is heavy.

You take it easy. This is a valuable
piece of merchandise.

What's the big deal? She can't feel any
pain anyway. Just take it easy. Put her

down on the bed, okay?

Okay, poor woman.

Thanks a lot, guys. Really.

Don't mention it. If you need any more
help, I'm your willing servant.

Nicholas, don't slam the door.

It might be Tommy. Well, whoever it is,
they're spoiling my concentration.

Can I take five?

Mama, they're gamblers.

Yes, and they're drinkers, Mama.

They're ladies of the evening, Mama.

I even think they committed a murder.

Yes.

I am telling the truth, Mama. I swear I
am. I saw the body.

willing to take that chance what do you
think they've done to merle by now no

all right okay okay okay all

right it's what i gotta do all right
i'll do it okay

Operator, could you get me the police,
please?

Excuse me. Yes.

I'm Mrs. Merle Stockwell. Is my husband
brought here?

I'll see if we have him registered.

Okay.

Yes, there was a Merle Stockwell.

But according to this, he was released
30 minutes ago.

He's gone?

Does that mean he's okay?

I'm sorry. I just came on duty. You'd
have to talk to his attending physician.

Oh, where's he?

In surgery.

Oh, isn't there anything you can tell
me, please?

Well, it says here that it was a
possible concussion.

But since he was discharged, he's either
fine or... Or what?

Or he's been sent back to Sacramento for
more tests.

Sacramento? If you'd like to wait, I'm
sure the doctor will be out of surgery

an hour.

Gentlemen. I love the feel of chips
between my fingers.

That is your fourth pot in a row. I
can't believe your luck, Dad.

Neither can I.

Well, I guess Dr.

Max is still consulting Abby on her
hiccups. It's your deal, Dad. All right.

This will be draw poker.

Nothing wild but the dealer.

What?

Yes,

indeed.

Is it that bad?

It is a... Very serious case of
singultus.

What?

Hiccups.

Oh, thanks a lot. I figured that one out
by myself.

Excuse me.

Oh, hey, maybe this will help you.

Dr. Max, when did you start carrying a
flask?

It's only cough medicine.

Then why do you carry it in a flask?

Cough syrup at a poker game. I do have
an image to maintain.

Oh, no, thanks. I think I'll pass.

But if my hiccups suddenly turn into a
cough, I'll let you know.

Keep it in case you change your mind.

I've got to get back down to the game
before your husband wipes everybody out.

You mean he's winning?

It's amazing, isn't it? If I didn't know
him better, I'd swear he was cheating.

Right. I'll see you later.

Oh, Nicholas, where's Linda May?

She's asking you a question, Tommy.

Put that thing down and talk to me. Now,
where is Linda May?

I don't know. She's got to be around
here somewhere.

seducer, I ran out of the house and I
called the police.

There were motorcyclists in the driveway
and there were fancy women and there

was gambling and all kinds of carrying
on in that house.

Are you positive about this?

Across my heart.

Okay, ma 'am.

Let's go check out your complaint.

Okay.

Are you feeling better?

Oh, yeah. I really appreciate you
keeping me company.

Janet, it's just that, well, all these
cures have made me so sleepy.

That's okay. David will be finished
soon. I'll just go see what Joni and

are up to.

Okay.

Thank you for helping me with the
hiccups.

Well, I am sure that a good night's
sleep will rid you of them once and for

I hope so.

Good night.

Night.

Nancy, would you please try to remember
the count? I am trying.

Come on, we have to start from the
beginning.

Oh, no.

How's it going?

Oh, not too well. The other girls are
going to be here any minute, and she's

two left feet.

Well, the room's too small, my dress is
too tight. What do you expect?

Coordination.

Okay, Ginger Rogers, get yourself
another girl.

Oh, Nancy.

Oh, no, no, no, Nancy, please, come
back.

Oh, no.

Shannon, yes.

Yes. No, no, no. You can. I teach you
everything. Please.

Well, it isn't often a lawyer gets to
strut her stuff.

Yeah.

Bradford. We're going to hit Frankie's
Fish and Chips. You want to come?

No, I'm going to take this thing
upstairs and try and get it fixed.

Okay. I'll catch you later. Yeah, later.

See you later.

Tommy, have you seen Linda Mae?

Linda Mae who?

Stockwell, Merle's sister.

I didn't even know he had one.

No, he's got one, all right.

But I can't figure out where.

Oh.

the place.

You wouldn't believe all the unspeakable
things going on in that house.

Yes, ma 'am. We can't enter the premises
without a search warrant.

Only if we're certain something illegal
is happening.

But there's somebody being murdered in
there.

I saw it with my own two eyes.

We need some more solid evidence.

Max, will you open? Don't rush me. I'm
thinking.

Okay.

I will open for one little bluesy.

I'll see your little bluesy and raise
you two little bluesies.

All right.

I will see that bet and I will raise

it. Two more blues.

He's got four eights.

No, he's got three fours.

What'd you say?

I said he's got three fours. And you got
two kings and two sixes.

How did you know that?

Easy. The cards are marked.

Nicholas, don't have a joke about a
thing like that.

Who's joking?

Tom, I would never have believed it.

Oh, no, wait a minute, please. There
must be some mistake.

I'd say there was.

And I made it. Playing in a fixed game.

Winning streak.

Huh? Mr. Harris, wait.

Let me at least give you back your
money.

Please wait. I'm sure there's an
explanation.

For playing with marked cards?

I doubt it, Mr.

Bradford.

What did I tell you?

Look at those hussies. That must be Big
Daddy.

We gotta do something before it's too
late.

Who knows what they could have been
doing to my baby brother.

Get on the radio. I think we got a 647B.

What's a 647B?

Vice raid.

We're moving in five minutes.

You'll have to stay in the car, ma 'am.

I don't understand how Merle could have
got messed up with people like this.

He never should have left Siloam
Springs.

Yes, ma 'am.

From now on, ask who it is before you
open the door.

Oh, come on.

Why do you think Dad got so upset?

He always said to be honest.

Look, Nicholas, I don't know, but why
don't you go down and tell him the whole

thing was a mistake? Blame the whole
thing on Kenny P. Landers.

What do you think Dad will do to me? I
don't know what Dad's going to do to

but why don't you just go down and tell
him so I can fix my app in peace?

I thought you were asleep.

How could I be with the Joanie Bradford
dancers performing live outside my

bedroom? Okay, you guys, good, but it's
going to come again. Get ready.

How did she get you to do this?

That was 572.

Elizabeth?

Hold on. What, Mary? This is important.

Okay, I'm back.

Elizabeth, I cannot find Linda Mae.

Well, maybe she's with Nancy or
something. I don't know. Why don't you

screen porch?

Okay, I'm sorry, Kathy. What was that
again?

You two go in from the back.

You two take the sides, and Calloway and
I will take the front.

Now, is there any questions?

Okay, let's go.

Kid.

It's a kid. What are you doing here?

He lives here. What are you doing here?

I'm Officer Calloway. This is Officer
Dillnick.

Come on, now, Max, please. How was I
supposed to know that Nicholas's cards

marked? Marked cards. That's very
interesting.

Who are you?

Vice squad.

Vice squad? What? You mean that Harris
called the vice squad over a little

game? Will everybody please hold it
down? I can't hear the results of the

Results of the ninth.

Everybody, please, there we are.

Don't move.

I'll take that, too.

Okay, miss, you have the right to remain
silent. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What are you doing?

Making book in this state is illegal.

Oh, no. Please, I can assure you nothing
like that is going on in this house.

Max, you're a doctor. Do something.

Tom, I heard you made a killing tonight.

Oh, Max, don't forget your flask.

Hold it.

Card sharks, bookies, and now drunks.

Oh, uh, no, sir. This is just cough
syrup. Sure, sister.

One hundred proof?

Officers, please, believe me, there is
absolutely nothing out of the ordinary

going on here.

You mean to tell me that nobody but
Nicholas and Elizabeth have even met

May? Who's Linda May? What's going on
around here? What's all that racket out

there? All right, hold it right there!

Oh, no, no, no, no, you don't
understand. We're just practicing.

Yeah, for the world's oldest profession.

Officer, I'm an attorney.

Sure, and I'm Lieutenant Columbo.

What do you want?

Find these three out back. I think this
one here was soliciting these two.

What? They're my sisters.

And that's my wife.

This is getting ridiculous.

This is getting disgusting.

Officer, if you would just let us... All
right, everybody freeze.

blazes are you talking about? Now, don't
you worry about anything, baby brother.

Everything's gonna be all right. I'm
gonna take you back to Siloam Springs

Reverend Morton will straighten you
right out. Linda Mae, will you talk

Now, where's Susan? I don't know,
Merlin. Never even met her.

What?

I gotta find out what's going on here.
No, no, wait, Merlin. No, Merlin, don't

risk it. So, the noise was Tommy's amp,
the girls were rehearsing their dance

for the repertory theater, and of
course, this must be... The corpus

The what? The dead body, Nicholas.

Merle! Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, this
is Linda May.

Will somebody please tell me what...
What's going on here?

I think I can.

You see, this is a... Merle, where is
Susan?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

Well, she heard on the radio that you
got hit, so she drove to Modesto.

Oh, no.

Look, why don't you call the Modesto
Metropolitan Hospital? That's where she

went.

Operator, could you put me through to
Modesto Metropolitan Hospital?

Please.

Well, I guess that about wraps it up.

Sorry to inconvenience you, folks.

Oh, no, we're sorry. I mean, it's easy
to jump to conclusions around this

Yeah.

Okay, we'll be on our way.

Metropolitan Hospital?

Yeah, my name's... Merle!

Never mind.

Oh, are you okay?

I am.

Now that I know who you are. Oh,
darling, I was so worried about you.

on the radio that you were out cold.

I'm okay.

The ball got more damage.

I'm just glad you're safe and sound,
sweetheart.

I want you to meet someone.

My sister, Linda May.

Hi. This is so humiliating.

I don't know how you folks can ever
forgive me.

Well, forgive you for what?

It's a long story.

I'm afraid I owe you folks all a long
apology.

You see?

I just worry about my little brother
here, and Mama made me come, and I don't

do very well when I'm away from home.

Oh, Linda Mae, it's all right.

This is your home now.

This is your new family.

Marlon?

Yes, sis?

I think she really means it.

I sure do.

Linda Mae, we all do.

Hey, sure we do. I'm sorry we scared
you. Hey, let's get to know Linda May

the last few remaining Bradford Full
House sandwiches.

Oh, boy.

It's been quite an evening.

Tom! My hiccups are gone!

They're gone! Oh, Tom, what a relief!
Oh, really?

Well, in that case... Why don't we skip
the midnight snack and go right

upstairs? Okay.

Dad!

Who was it? Oh.

That was Mr. Harris.

Max called and explained everything, so
he just called to apologize for

overreacting. That's good. Oh, yes. And
guess what? He's coming to the game next

week. Only this time, he's bringing his
own cards.

Okay, that's it.

Nicholas, whatever happened to Boris?
Did you trade him back to Kenny P.

Landers? Not exactly.

Oh, then you still have him? No. See,
Freddy took him and ran. A kid ran away

with your dummy?

Freddy's no kid. He's Kenny St. Bernard.

And now, for your entertainment,

the ladies of the evening.

Featuring all the way from Siloam
Springs, Miss Linda May. Show

them what you've got.

Stockwell.

Oh, no.
