You have a sweet bacon?
I got it, I got it.
Warren, my vacation was fine. Thank you.
How's everything at the house?
Great.
Plants watered, mail ordered.
Newspaper stacked so neatly, it just might blow your mind.
Terrific.
Warren, what's at the tell?
I couldn't find a red carpet.
I see. Here.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Thank you so much. Oh, no, I got it, I got it.
Come in.
Thanks, man.
Hey, uh, need me to stay overnight and help you reorient yourself to your
surroundings where I can run out, grab a bottle of Malone, whip up some sizzling
fajitas, or... Why is it so cold in here, Warren?
I turned off the heat.
It's the middle of the winter. You can't shut off the heat.
Why not?
Because, Warren, if you turn off the heat, the pipes may freeze.
Hmm.
I wonder if that's what happened here.
Hey, who do you think would win in a fight, a strong, tall guy?
Or an invisible fat guy.
Strong and tall guy.
What if the invisible fat guy had a whip?
Is it an invisible whip? This is the worst episode of the McLaughlin Group
Hey, check this out. You know the guy that runs the deli down on Grove Street?
I am, Mr. Schaefer. I love that guy. He always gives me an extra pickle.
You're a simple, simple man.
It turns out Mr. Schaefer's being sued by the city.
Why? Apparently he's been feeding quarters in other people's parking
That's kind of ridiculous, isn't it?
They let him fry.
Why would you sue someone for being a good Samaritan?
Eddie, you should help him. See if he needs a good lawyer.
I should.
Yeah.
Oh, hang on a sec.
I always like Mr. Schaefer.
Ambulance chaser.
Carol! Hi, Dad.
Hey, how are you? Come on in. Well, I have problems.
What's the matter? The plumber can't make it today, and I need to borrow your
handyman husband once again.
Hi, Ed. Hi, Carol.
Mike. Hey. Would you come by and look at a busted pipe in my basement?
Yeah, sure, Carol. I'd be glad to see what I could do.
Good. Because you know I haven't got a clue.
Um, excuse me.
What? Yeah, I'm sitting right here.
Yeah, I know.
I said hi. Hi.
I don't know. You got plumbing problems, ma 'am? Why don't you go for the rest
when you can have the best?
You know how to fix pipes?
Yeah. Really?
Yeah. Now, why is that so surprising to you?
I mean, I'm a guy.
I have a toolbox. Matter of fact, I have a couple of toolboxes. I like beer and
I drink it. I like sports and I play them. I own a bowling eye.
Okay, Ed, would you mind coming over to my house and taking a look at my pipes?
You know, I've had dreams about you saying that to me.
It's a very cheap joke.
I know.
Sometimes it was the very best.
Bill, I gotta get to Carol's. You finish opening up for me?
Oh, and don't forget, we got Norwegian League coming up.
Bosco, you can sack my potatoes.
Hmm? No, no, no, that's no good.
Sack my potatoes, what's that?
I'm trying to come up with a catchphrase for myself.
Catchphrase? Yeah, you know, like Fonzie had, hey, and Flo had, kiss my grits. I
just think it'd be really cool if I had my own catchphrase. Okay, Bill, you
understand that both Fonzie and Flo are fictional characters, right?
Yes, Bosco, I know that, but nowhere is it written that a catchphrase can't work
in real life.
You know, I just figure if I keep saying the same thing over and over, soon
everyone in town will know it. And we could put it on T -shirts, coffee mugs,
back -to -school items.
How about this one?
What be happening, my brother?
You know, like every time I walk into a room, I say, What be happening, my
brother?
Okay, I'm gonna go.
Shave my poodle!
All right, here's the source of your leak, ma 'am.
Ma 'am? Part of a little plumber house I fancy I got cooked up for myself.
Good job.
So, uh... You
have no idea what you're doing, can you? How hard can it be to fix a pipe?
I'm calling a plumber. I can fix this.
Ed, there's no shame in not knowing how to fix a pipe. I... Did you hear
something? I really can fix it, okay?
Ed, I can't let you touch that pipe.
I'll tell you what.
If I cannot fix this pipe, all right, then I will run through the streets of
Stockville in only my underwear screaming, Ed Stevens is a loser.
Are you serious?
But if I can fix this here pipe, then you have to go to the center of town,
stand on a soapbox, and read a statement proclaiming Edward J. Stevens to be the
best plumber in the world.
Okay, 24 hours, but you get no help.
You got a bet?
There's chili out there this time of year.
Wow. Look at you, Nance. You're multitasking.
Nanny's late again.
That's okay. You go to work. I'll wait.
Thanks.
Nance, what's the matter?
I'm starting to have second thoughts about going for this promotion.
I mean, it's so much extra work.
Like, do you think I'm making a mistake?
With a baby and all? No, Nancy, I don't think you're making a mistake. I think
if you want the promotion, you should go for it. We'll figure it out.
Damn it.
It's all right. Come here.
I don't know, Nancy. I think formula is okay every now and then, but most
doctors recommend breastfeeding your laptop.
Hi.
Hey, Mr. Schaefer.
Who are you?
I'm Ed Stephens. I'm a lawyer.
You here to give me another one of them summonses? Because I'll tell you right
now, I need another summons like I need a rusty bear trap on my ass. Is that
right? Look, I don't work for the court. I read about your problem in the paper,
and I'm on your side.
I'm also a big fan of your court law.
That's very nice of you to say.
But, Mr. Schaefer, I'd like to be your lawyer, and I'd like to offer my
free of charge.
Free of charge? Why?
Because I don't like what they're doing to you.
They keep sending me threatening letters, telling me I have to go to
Yeah. Mr. Schaefer, I can ask, why are you doing this?
A few months ago, I got a parking ticket.
30 bucks.
Ruined a perfectly good day.
I figure it's only a dime to me.
But it'd be $30 if the guy's gonna get the ticket.
Come on, Hal. You're making me look bad.
Hey, it's a tough world out there. And if I choose to make it a little better
for people, there's not a whole hell of a lot that you or those goons down at
City Hall can do about it. It's a tough world? You think I don't know it's a
tough world?
I'm a 53 -year -old meter mate for crying out loud.
You wanna know about a tough world?
You know, back in the 70s?
I used to caddy for Chi -Chi Rodriguez.
Yes, Hal, I know. I helped him win the Denver Open.
Is that right? Yeah, I was in for 10 % of $27 ,000.
That's none too shabby for a day's work.
Am I right?
No, sir. It's none too shabby at all.
None too... What does that mean, it is shabby? I mean for it not to be shabby.
Look, Hal, all I want to say... Hey, you got anything to say to me, you talk to
my lawyer.
You know, there's nothing wrong with being a meter maid.
How very PC of you.
Excuse me.
Sure.
Good afternoon. Livestream greeting cards. Nancy Burton speaking.
Hi, Linda. Is the baby okay?
Hold on just a second.
I'm sorry. Margaret, it's my nanny.
Bad news.
They're moving the presentation up to Friday.
Friday. As in this Friday? Yes.
Wow.
Well, um, the artists are almost through with the designs, but we're still
waiting on the copies, so... I'll give the writers the new deadline, and we'll
hope for the best.
Great.
I'm sorry, Linda. So, um, what's going on?
Your husband sprained his... Can a nose technically be sprained?
No, okay.
Okay, yeah. I'll be home in ten minutes.
Case number SRB 624, the people versus Hal Schaefer. Your Honor, if you please.
Yes, Mr. Stevens.
This case... This case is the textbook definition of frivolous. My client, Mr.
Schaefer, is being charged with putting dimes in parking meters. Has it really
come to this? There's killers running around out there. We're going to waste
court's time on a guy feeding parking meters?
I move this case be dismissed immediately.
Your Honor.
First of all, the last time there was a killer in Stuckyville was in 1862.
I doubt very much he's still running around, as Mr. Stevens suggests. Second,
for this case being frivolous, I must say, as the district attorney
the people of Stuckyville, I don't find any criminal act.
to be frivolous. Criminal act? This is not a criminal act. There's no law on
books of either state or town that prohibits the feeding of other people's
parking meters, Your Honor. There doesn't have to be. Mr. Schaefer
law by helping those other people get away with parking illegally.
He's just being a nice guy. You don't know what court in the free world would
try a case like this, really.
I believe I can answer that question, Your Honor.
Diamond v. the city of Pittsburgh, Burrell v. the township of North
Christensen v. San Francisco, Albaneseus and Schnaufer v. the Knights of
Columbus. These are all cases involving the illegal filling of parking meters.
I would be happy to continue if the court finds it necessary.
No, no, Miss Hayne, that'll do.
Well, we'll start Wednesday.
Ed? Yeah?
Am I wrong, or did I just witness a good old -fashioned butt -whooping? No, that
was a butt -whooping.
Thirteen and a half. Here you go, sir. Shave my poodle.
And twelve's for you.
Shave my poodle. And eleven's.
Shave my poodle.
No, this is the fifth time I have tried to... When she gets in, then you tell
the district attorney that Ed Stevens called again and tell her I find her
behavior to be totally unacceptable. Goodbye.
Wow. Hey, Carol. You know what you were just there? What?
Hot under the collar.
I've never seen you like that before. It's good.
Yeah, well, this ridiculous district attorney is making me crazy.
Huh.
Oh, my God.
What? What is that?
Oh, yes.
Before court, I went to the hardware store and I picked up all the necessary
accoutrements to fix your pipe.
Something kind of sad about that. Do not underestimate my ingenuity, my friend.
When I was 12 years old, I took one sled, six roller skates, two rolls of
tape, and invented what is still lovingly referred to as the Stuckyville
Luge. Don't touch that.
Ed, you want out of this bet?
I'm going to let you out of this bet.
Seriously? No.
Fine.
The bet is on.
Okay.
So you'll come by around 7?
7 it is.
Should I cook dinner?
Yeah, that'd be great.
Okay.
I'll see you.
Miss Hayne. Oh, hello, Mr. Stevens.
Hey, did you get... I called you five times.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but whereas you are dealing with one case at
time, I, on the other hand, am dealing with many cases at a time. All right,
fine. Good for you. Let's cut to the chase. You and I both know the
house safe of putting a quarter in a parking meter is nuts. Well, perhaps you
know that, Mr. Stevens, but I certainly know nothing about that. Why? What is
with you?
Why? Because I believe his actions are harmful to the common good of the people
of Stuckyville.
And what is with me?
A sense of duty to represent the people of Stuckyville whenever and however a
law has been violated. I don't care whether that law is murder or
The people have entrusted me with a responsibility, and I intend to honor
trust by living up to that responsibility.
And if that puts a crimp in your day, Mr. Stevens, so be it.
Are you and I really going to go to court to argue over parking meters?
Yes, we are. And frankly, from what I saw today, I'm not expecting much of an
argument.
Mike, if I ever win another case as long as I live, I'll be fine as long as I
beat this woman tomorrow.
Is she hot?
What is wrong with you?
What? I'm a married guy. We live vicariously.
Mike, I'm not about to date this woman. I'm about to have a broken bottle back
alley brawl with her in a court of law. All right. I was just trying to get a
mental picture.
I'm sorry.
She's kind of hot.
Yeah.
Mike, ten bucks if you go out there. Come on. I got the baby. I can't.
I can hold the baby.
Sir? Yeah?
Tonight, I celebrate my love for you.
Seems the natural thing to do.
Tonight...
lovely carol is on hold for you oh oh my god oh here tell her tell her on my way
can you oh grab the kid yeah hey mike i'll see you later there'll be no
between uh
hot
roast is so good it really brings an important question to mind what's that
you marry me
I'm not sure if you really like the pot roast that much, or you just keep eating
so you don't face the pipes. A little of both.
I increased my homeowner's insurance yesterday so
that I could fully enjoy your work.
You know, if I wasn't so cold of meat, I'd have a witty comeback for that.
Boy, this pipe's a little more damaged than I thought.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's in pretty bad shape.
Yeah.
Tell you what I'm going to do.
I will let you out of the bet right now. I will. No questions asked, but this is
your last chance. Think about it.
You really want to stand on a soapbox in the center of town and tell everyone
what a great plumber I am?
Am I going to have to videotape you running through the streets in your
underwear?
Looks like the bet is on.
One fixed pipe.
How did you do that?
I worked as a plumber's apprentice in law school.
You tricked me?
You're a plumbing hustler?
And I believe this is yours.
One prepared statement.
Soapbox in the car.
All right.
All right, this is it.
You get it over with.
Yeah, I hate to break this to you. What?
This right here?
Not the center of town.
What are you talking about?
It's Main Street.
You can't get much more central than that.
You remember that little orienteering project we all had to do when we were in
sixth grade? You remember that?
Kind of. Well, as you may recall, the actual geographical center of
it's not right here where you think it would be.
Oh, my God, you're right.
Oh, but I can't. Oh, you can't.
No, I can't. No, you can't. No, really, I can't. I don't think you have a
choice.
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.
I think you've got to go a little louder.
I'm sorry to disturb your dinner, but I have an announcement to make.
Edward J. Stevens is the best plumber on the face of the
earth.
I was completely wrong.
He was completely right.
And besides being the world's greatest plumber, he's also the...
There's no way I'm reading this.
Oh, hey, you lost a bet, sister.
He's also the world's greatest lover.
I love him dearly, and I pray that one day
he will make me his wife.
Thank you, and God bless America.
I think he wants to kiss. I think he wants to kiss. For
that, you're going to have to put in an in -ground swimming pool.
Thank you.
You're very kind. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you all.
Hey, Mr. Schaefer, how are you?
You're in jail?
Hang on. Hang on. I'll be right down.
Hey, Bosco, check this out.
Bill, I'm in a hurry. No, I got my website up and running, www
.com.
What's the next sketch?
It's version 1 .0.
Excuse me, Chief, I'm looking for Hal Schaefer.
Don't you be calling me Chief.
You're not the Chief, please.
Yeah, I'm the Chief of Police.
But you didn't call me Chief like the Chief of Police. You called me Chief
like... Would you mind supersizing that order for me, Chief?
I didn't mean to offend you, sir. I'm just looking to get House Safer out of
here.
A hundred bucks bail.
Take the Discover card.
Wait here.
Hey,
Miss Haynes. I'll talk to you later.
Mr. Stevens.
What happened?
Trouble at the bowling alley? Somebody steal one of those little scorekeeping
pencils? That's cute. What the hell's my client doing here?
He was feeding the meters again.
She had him thrown in jail like a common criminal.
Mr. Schaefer is a criminal. He ignored a dozen court orders and disobeyed direct
commands from an officer of the law.
Miss Hayden, are you familiar with a little concept called going too far?
Relax. This isn't Oz.
He's not in the hole.
The guy just needed to be taught a lesson, that's all.
See? He's fine.
Mr. Schaefer, you okay?
Yeah, I'm good. They got a PlayStation in the holding cell.
Let's go.
So, there's everybody in the middle of their French onion soup or whatever, and
I'm up on a soapbox proclaiming my love for Edward Chastain.
You were standing on an actual soapbox? Yeah.
I thought that was just an expression. I didn't even know they still made
soapboxes. Well, leave it to Ed to go out and find one.
Wow, it sounds like quite a night. It was.
It was. It was...
Goofy and stupid and... I don't know, it was fun.
What?
Oh, my God.
What?
Carol Bessie wants Ed Stevens.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Mr. Schaefer, when do you begin this innocent little practice of feeding the
Grove Street parking meters?
Objection. Fine, same question, minus the part she objected to.
I've been doing it since the holiday season, a couple months or so. In that
time, how much money would you say you've put into these meters?
I ain't keeping count.
Probably a couple hundred dollars, more or less. Why, Mr. Schaefer? What makes
you want to spend a couple hundred dollars of your own hard -earned money
other people's parking?
Mr. Stevens, life is just one pain in the ass after another.
Paper cuts, soup on your pants, those little pieces of tape that make it so
hard to open a new compact disc.
You know, they ought to have a Sniglet for those.
Hey, is that guy still doing the Sniglets? You know, I don't know.
But the worst pain in the ass I know is getting a $30 ticket...
Just because you're a minute too late.
Look, I'm just trying to make a tiny little dent in the world's accumulated
pain.
So sue me.
They already have.
Thank you, Mr. Schaefer.
Mr. Schaefer, you're an awfully generous guy, aren't you? Laying out a couple
hundred dollars just to help your fellow man.
Yeah, I'm a regular Mother Teresa.
You couldn't...
to possibly be doing this to boost your business.
No, I'm not.
No, no. It never would have crossed your mind that if people could park for
free, they're more likely to stop in for a sandwich. I'm just trying to be
friendly. I don't mind giving away a little money.
Giving it away? I bet you're actually making money off of this scam.
Objection. Mr. Schaefer's not running a scam.
You're actually making money off of this racket.
Objection. Flynn Flann.
Objection. Am I going to have to separate the two of you?
No, sir.
Nancy. Yeah. They're ready for you in the boardroom.
What?
I thought we were doing this at 6 o 'clock.
I haven't had time to review the copy. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Okay, guys, this is it. I need the copy.
What copy?
You know, the words that go inside the card.
Nancy, it's not due for another week.
The presentation was moved up to today.
Didn't I tell you? No.
I didn't tell you. I didn't tell you. Okay.
You guys, do you have anything ready? Anything at all?
Come on.
I'm completely screwed.
Chief Curry, before Mr.
Schaefer started feeding the meters, how much money did the town of Stuckyville
take in from them?
$1 ,100 a month.
And since Mr.
Schaefer has been feeding the meters?
Dropped down to a couple of hundred.
Why have the meters been yielding so much less money than usual?
Because he only puts money in them when he sees the meter maid coming.
So Mr. Schaefer is actively helping people commit a crime by cheating the
meters. Yes, he is.
Thank you.
You're allowed to ask questions now.
It's called cross -examination.
Chief Curry, let me get this straight.
You say the Grove Street parking meters...
It used to take in $1 ,100 a month. Is that right?
That's right. I'm confused. I am so confused.
Because I know the meters take a dime an hour. I multiply that by the number of
meters in the street, the number of hours in a day. Well, I don't get
near $1 ,100 a month. Why is that? Is it me? Is my math bad? Is it the new math?
It's not only the dimes. Some of that comes from parking tickets.
Oh.
Well, I am so dumb.
Okay, so it's parking tickets. That explains it. Parking tickets. And when
say some of the $1 ,100, how much?
A third? A quarter? How much exactly?
You have to check the figures.
Well, you know what, Chief? You do not, for I have already taken care of it for
you. I have here an official report detailing all the tickets written to the
Grove Street parking meters. Now, how much of the $1 ,100 was for parking
tickets?
$980. What?
$980 was for parking tickets? So then this was never about the meters.
It's about you meeting some kind of ticket quota, isn't it, Chief?
Wow. It's funny.
I used to think...
Police are supposed to want less crime, not more.
Objection. Nothing further.
Good afternoon, everybody.
I am very pleased to present the fruits of several months of labor, the newest
line of Lifestream greeting cards.
I have the artwork on slide, and I'll be reading the text from my notebook.
Here we have a lovely birthday card for Grandma, and it will read, Happy
Birthday, Grandma.
And inside the card will say, You're my grandma, and it's your
birthday. And I love you, and I wish you all the best on this special day.
Way to stay alive, Grandma.
And this card will say, congratulations, son, on catching your first fish.
I was under the impression that this was a Father's Day card.
Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry, my notes are out of order. Actually, it should say,
happy Father's Day to my father, with whom
I fish on a regular basis.
And, of course, this card will read... I'm sorry to
hear that you have become homeless.
Tough break.
Tough... tough break.
We're just seconds away from a 20 -minute music marathon. But first,
trivia question.
The song Can't Fight This Feeling was recorded by the band REO Speed Blank.
First one to call with the correct answer wins 20 % off the waterbed of
choice at Waterbed World.
All right, Godfrey from Stuckyville, let's hear it. Hey, how you doing? First
time caller, long -time listener. Just want to say a big fan of the show.
Thanks, Godfrey. REO Speed blank.
Okay, I want to say shave my poodle. Is it REO Speed shave my poodle?
No, I'm sorry.
Okay, just one more thing.
Ba -ba -booey, ba -ba -booey.
Hey.
Well, what are you doing here?
I just had to see this for myself.
Bowling alley, law practice.
You know, I'm pretty sure I've heard every bowling alley insult, but feel
Look, Ed, I'm not trying to ruin your life. I'm just trying to do my job.
Then drop the case.
I can't do that. Why not?
Because I didn't come to Stuckyville to drop cases. I came here to win cases.
Please have a seat.
So, um, you're not from Stuckyville originally?
Oh, God, no. I'm from Detroit.
And you're here because?
I think we just covered that. I'm here to win cases.
All right. In a big city, I would be just another lawyer.
Here, I'm the district attorney, and I'm racking up as many convictions as I can
before I go. You know, Bonnie, maybe after you've done this for a while,
see that it's not all about winning.
That's a good philosophy for a guy who's about to lose.
Okay. All right. And how about this?
You drop the charges, put my client on probation. That way, if he does it
again... No, no way. No can do. Don't you want to hear what I'm offering?
Actually, I'm afraid I'll be bored.
You'll be... You know, you've got some... All right, all right. Go ahead.
Drop the charges. If my client doesn't... I knew it. I'm bored. I'm
see you in court.
Yeah, you know what?
I'll see you in court.
Is that the best you can do?
Kind of sad.
Whoa.
What was that?
Nothing.
Hey, I brought you some pot roast.
Leftovers from last night.
Oh, hey.
Thanks. Thank you.
I had a really good time, by the way.
Last night.
Good. Yeah. What? Yeah.
It was great.
Yeah.
I guess I should probably be going.
Yeah. I mean, I'd love to hang out, but I really better hammer out these closing
statements.
Can't let her win this one.
No. No.
Okay, well, I'll see you around then.
Uh, yeah. Bye, Cal.
Bye.
You have to see me?
Yes, Nancy.
Look, before you say anything, I just really want to apologize for yesterday.
The last few months have been kind of tough for me, and... Nancy, I didn't
you in to chastise you.
I'm giving you the promotion.
I want you to create your own line of cards.
Really? That's great, but I don't get it, Margaret. I just blew my entire
presentation. Nancy, you have to make a choice.
I'm giving you more responsibility because I want a bigger commitment.
Gee, thank you, Margaret. It's just... You're welcome, Nancy.
I'm just really happy.
Thank you.
Ed said anything to you about Bonnie Hayne?
Uh, no.
Who's that?
District attorney.
Just a hot little number.
I saw her last night at the bowling alley.
I see.
Uh, what were you doing at the bowling alley?
What do you mean? I go there all the time.
And last night you went there to... Oh, I brought Ed some pot roasts.
Carol, what are you doing?
What? Look, I didn't want to say anything when you were all...
giggly about your standing on a soapbox night but i think you got to be a little
bit careful here careful about what about ed okay after everything that you
put him through i have put him through what are we talking about here come on
carol the guy practically set himself on fire to get your attention you said no
thanks not interested and now here you are a little bit lonely and you're
bringing the guy a pot roast
The pressure's finally got to the poor son of a bitch. So I'm rehearsing. Can I
help you with something?
Shave my poodle.
You have a laugh track. Can't do comedy without one. People have to be told one
to laugh.
Right. Do you recognize it?
What? The laugh.
I taped it off all in the family, the one where Sammy Davis Jr. kisses Archie
Bunker. Good choice, Phil.
Shave my poodle.
Mr. Stevens is going to get up here and say, if Mr.
Schaefer decides, out of the goodness of his heart, to put a dime in a parking
meter so that someone doesn't get a ticket, what's the big crime?
Well, the crime is this.
Mr. Schaefer is helping that someone break the law. Mr. Schaefer is operating
a lookout.
The town of Stuckyville decided that the price to park on Grove Street is a dime
for an hour. Mr. Schaefer decided that it's free unless the meter maid comes.
And that decision is not his to make.
Thank you.
In our country, law enforcement has rules.
Get a ticket if you're caught speeding on a highway? Yes.
Do you get a ticket if you flash your lights at oncoming traffic to warn them
a speed trap? No. Do you get a ticket if you park illegally? Yes. Do you get a
ticket if you warn someone their meter's about to expire?
No. No. What Mr. Schaefer's been doing, it's not illegal.
It's charitable.
And in a world where most people are just looking out for themselves, do we
really want to punish a guy who's just trying to be generous?
Well, this is a tough one.
In the immortal words of my Uncle Frank, I need to sleep on it.
So I'll be back here tomorrow.
Hey, she's asleep.
How you doing, honey? Honey, I'm exhausted.
I bet.
I love this line.
I'll brought you, man.
By the way, I have something for you.
That was a big day here, too.
Go ahead, pop it in. Honey. Go ahead.
All right, Sarah, enough screwing around. You're old enough to roll over
yourself. We're tired of waiting. Now you go ahead and you do it. You just
over, Sarah, all right? Here you go, honey.
Let's see you roll over here. Go ahead and help her out, Ed.
Ed. Yeah. You want to take... Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
You get it. All right. Show her the technique.
Show her that burning roll.
You turn the shoulders and you get all into it. You roll.
That's weak. This is weak.
This is weak. Let me show you how it's done, Mike.
All right.
You got to roll, Sarah. It's all like...
You see the crazy man? Roll the crazy man. You can roll the crazy man. Oh!
Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Mr. Schaefer, I do believe that your intentions are charitable rather than
-interested. However, by feeding the meters only when you see the meter maid
coming, you both encourage and assist illegal parking.
Now, this has got to stop.
Since you refuse to heed previous warnings, I'm going to fine you $500.
Do it again, and I'll be more than happy to double it.
Sorry, Mr. Schaefer.
I'm hungry for soup.
You want to get some soup?
No, thanks.
Not right now. Thank you. I'm going for soup.
So what now? You stensing my silhouette onto your nose cone?
I would, but it's not over yet.
What do you mean it's not over? You won.
I'm going to file an appeal.
$500 isn't enough. The town is entitled to recoup its lost funds in their
entirety. What?
That... You... That... Shave my poodle.
Margaret, do you have a second? Sure, Nancy. Come in.
I've given it a lot of thought, and I've decided I don't want the promotion.
Why not?
You know, my daughter rolled over for the first time the other day.
Why don't you have a seat?
Margaret, you have three children.
How do you find time for everything?
Nancy, I don't.
I've missed out on a lot.
I'd stay home with the kids.
I wouldn't have this career.
Do you ever regret your choice?
Nope.
It was the right one for me.
Nancy, are you sure you want to pass this up?
Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
Hi, it's me.
Hey, Carol.
What's happening?
My pipe's burst again.
Oh, no.
It's like Old Faithful down here. There's water all over the floor, and I
you need to come over right now.
Yeah, okay, don't worry. Look, I'll be right over. But, hey, listen, in the
meantime, though, try to clamp it the way we did yesterday, okay?
Okay. You remember that, right? Right.
I'll see you soon.
Yeah, bye.
Thank God you're here.
Come on in.
Hurry.
Where's the leak?
Wow.
It's a good question. I don't know.
It must have stopped when I was letting you in.
That's so weird, because a few minutes ago it was like... You just...
Everywhere. Where's the water coming from? Is it coming from the same place?
You know, I'm not sure.
Maybe we should just hang out and see if it happens again.
Okay. Hey, in the meantime, you know what we can do?
What? We can split the floor in half and each take a mop.
And then whoever finishes last has to go back to that restaurant and run up to
the maitre d' and kiss him right on the lip.
You're on. Where's my mop?
Hello. Hey, Mr. Schaefer, how's your suit?
Where?
That's ridiculous. Hang tight. I'm on my way. And listen, hey, tell Bonnie Hane
to wait for me. I want to talk to her about this.
You know what, Carol?
I hate to leave you in a lurch like this, but I really got to go.
What happened?
Bonnie Hane again. Mr. Schaefer's thrown in jail.
You can't help but get the thing. She's just doing this to goad me. Oh.
It's like she...
Do you ever have someone who just gets under your skin?
Uh -huh.
Yeah.
Anyway, look, if that pipe goes again, you better call a plumber. I obviously
didn't fix it right. No, you... Okay.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
