Well, we're moving on up, moving on up,
to the...

But that's the beauty of candy. You
never really need it. You just want it.

Hold it.

Do you realize there are 300 calories in
that one little piece of chocolate?

Yep. Hold it.

Do you know what that could do to your
body?

No. Hold it.

First of all, the sugar will rot your
teeth.

Your skin will break out.

Your cholesterol will jump.

And the chemicals and preservatives will
probably... Eat out the lining of your

stomach. Enjoy.

I think I'll just go in the kitchen and
have a nice piece of celery.

Oh, good for you, Florence.

That's right.

Oh, no appointments? No meetings? That's
right.

Oh, great.

Now, for the first time in three weeks,
we'll be able to spend a lot of time

together. That's wrong.

I'm going down to Charlie's Bar and
unwind with the guys. We're having an

wrestling tournament. They're great.

Oh, really?

Well, if that's what you want, I'll arm
wrestle you.

Oh, please, I don't think so.

I'll let you win.

Well...

a piece of my candy.

What difference does it make? It wasn't
good for you anyway.

Lawrence, have you got any suggestions
how I could get George to spend more

with me?

Sure. Just watch what I do and do the
opposite.

I'm serious. He is my husband.

And deal. You go on.

He doesn't seem to have time for me
anymore.

We are hardly ever together.

Well, now, Mr. Jefferson, I think
there's three things you're not

Number one, you've been married a long
time.

Number two, he's a very busy man.

And number three, what a break for you.

Maybe I should ask someone else.

Maybe I should talk to someone who's
married.

Sure, rub it in.

Oh, uh, Florence.

No, no, that's okay.

Don't apologize.

The damage is done. I'll just go in the
kitchen and see if I can bounce back.

Hey, wait, you see my arm wrestling
shoes?

They're right next to your jogging
gloves.

Thanks.

Louise, guess what Helen and I have been
doing together?

Cooking.

Helen must have called you.

Well, anyway, we're cooking up this big
romantic dinner tonight, and I was

wondering if I could borrow your
Polaroid camera.

Oh, Polaroid, huh?

Oh, you got a big night plan?

Oh, you bet.

I just love taking a picture of a good
meal.

Tom, will you come in, please?

Oh, sure.

I want to ask you a question.

Why, of course. I'm making Chateaubriand
for two, and Helen's having chicken.

Tom, I'm a little confused.

Oh, you're confused?

I don't know whether to serve red or
white wine.

Actually, I'm... having a little
problem, and I was hoping you could help

with it. Oh, why, Louise, by all means.
Well, let's stop talking about food.

Hey, Candy.

What's your problem?

Well, I have a problem with George, and
I thought I could talk to you about it.

Since you're my friend, I know you would
keep it just between us. Oh, Louise,

you can count on me.

I'm no gossip.

If I were, I could tell you about Ed
Swartz's mistress.

And his wife's drinking problem.

Oh, she drinks like a fish. Oh, Tom,
I... Please, please, Louise, stop

me.

Now, go on. Tell me, what is your
problem?

Well, he just doesn't seem to have time
for me lately.

Oh, that's rough.

You know, the Rappaports on the 11th
floor are going through exactly the same

thing.

Rappaport. Well, they stopped doing
things together. Now they both want a

divorce. And they've been sleeping in
separate bedrooms since Christmas.

Tom. No, no, no. But please, Louise,
don't ask me. I've been sworn to

I'd better get you that camera.

Oh. Well, you know, Louise, when a
husband and wife don't make a special

in doing things together, well, before
you know it, they're doing things apart.

Here's the camera, Tom.

Oh, thanks.

You know, there was a time when Helen
and I were so busy with our own

that we started drifting apart.

So we made a bargain.

We decided that we were going to spend
at least one night a week doing

together. Well, the first night was
easy.

So, what did you come up with?

Jenny.

Then, after that, we had to use some
imagination.

Well, I suggested a lot of things to
George, but he just seems to resist it

Now, Louise, this situation demands that
you take a stand.

I mean, you've got to be firm. You've
got to assert yourself.

You've got to show some backbone.

Just don't mention my name.

Did I just hear Willis leave?

Yes. Good, then I timed it perfect.

Well, Wheeze, I'm off to the tournament.
What do you think?

I think... that arm would look good
around me.

Now, can I ask you again?

Please stay home. But, Wheeze, I'm doing
this for you.

How do you figure that? Well, if I stay
here, we'll both be bored. If I go down

there, I won't.

with me lately. Now, I want you to sit
down and let's talk about this. All

right. You're really fighting for your
rights, ain't you?

Knock it off, okay?

Now, Mr. Jefferson, I know you don't
want to hear my opinion. Never did,

will.

And that's exactly why I'm going to give
it to you.

Now, if I had a husband, I'd make sure
I'd spend some time with him. Yeah, I

see it now, all three of you.

Three of us? Yeah.

You, him, and his CNI doll.

This is what you want to spend some time
with?

Yes, I do.

Well, then, child, I'm afraid you need
much more help than I can give you.

Look, this is ridiculous.

I mean, what's the problem?

Correct me if I'm wrong. I do love you,
don't I?

Love has nothing to do with this. We are
talking about marriage.

Well, you know what I mean.

Okay, okay, look.

Now I'm going to stick my neck out.
Good.

Then your E .T. invitation will be
complete.

Except for one thing. Go home.

I'm going to let that pass.

Well, I'm not. George, will you be quiet
for a minute? Now, what were you going

to say, Florence?

Well, it's obvious that you're a sweet,
kind, and loving person.

And you, well, I'm a church -going
woman, so I'm going to say it.

Anyway, what y 'all should do is just
pick a day and spend it together.

That's just what Tom said.

And that's two good reasons to ignore
it.

Get out the appointment book. We are
making a date. Okay, let's get this over

with, all right? Now, good.

Now we're beginning to make some
progress.

Now, how about tomorrow evening?

No, I got the store manager's meeting
tomorrow night.

How about Monday?

Oh, no.

That's when the help center's newsletter
goes out.

Uh, Tuesday.

Nope. Hang a demonstration.

That's right. Would you think the coach
would just climb up there by himself?

How about Wednesday?

No, Wednesday's no good for me.

Oh,

I'm sorry.

No, Wednesday is when we have the
banquet for unwed mothers.

And Thursday?

Oh, that's our birth control seminar.

Check Friday.

No, week's Friday, I got to go to the
starch convention up in Rochester.

I got to spend the whole weekend up
there.

Yeah, I know how you were looking
forward to that.

Well, we made an honest attempt to find
some time to spend together, but

obviously there is none, so what else
can I say except catch you in bed.

Now, listen, George, we are going to do
something together, and we are going to

do it right now. Okay, we'll do it. What
do you want to do?

Well, I think we should do something
that's healthy and fun and give us a

to talk.

I know.

Why don't y 'all wax the floors, take
the garbage out, and wash the windows?

And how's that going to help us?

I don't know, but it sure would help me,
Chad.

Hey, I got it.

Let's do what Tom and Helen do. No, no,
no, no. I refuse to go shopping for

wicker furniture, Weaves.

No, no, no, no. I mean, let's go bicycle
riding in the park. Maybe a wicker lamp

wouldn't be too bad.

No, come on, George.

Come on, let's go. You'll love it.

I mean, here's your jacket, and we are
going bicycling. Now, George, George,

George, trust me.

This is going to be the greatest time of
your life.

Now you want to jump off the balcony?

With any luck, we'll land on somebody.
They could have some fun, too, we.

Well, you have to admit, we were having
a good time for a while there.

Right, until you had to swerve to miss
that basketball from hitting you in the

head. You should let it hit you in the
head like a man.

But this would never have happened if
you weren't ogling that girl in a short

skirt. I wasn't ogling.

Then how come when you plowed into me,
you were muttering mamma jamma?

Look, Weaves, it doesn't matter whose
fault it was. The point is we're both

with broken legs, and it's all because
of you.

Well, George, there's a good side to
everything.

Now we'll be able to spend even more
time together.

Oh, come on, George. Let's make the best
of it. It could be worse, you know.

Thank goodness we've got Florence to
help us out. Oh, yeah, that's right,

Go get her, Wiz.

Spend more time with Mr. Jefferson.

Sincerely, Florence.

P .S. I still say, why?

Oh.

Well, George, we can still have fun.

How?

Oh, well.

Oh, I just thought of something
interesting.

Want to know what I read in this
magazine the other day? Oh, tell me,

tell me, please.

Average American married couple
converses for two minutes a day.

Let's make a concerted effort to just
sit here and talk to each other.

to something, and we'll talk about that,
all right?

Just thinking about it gives me
goosebumps.

Good. Now, the paper is... Oh, the
paper's over there on the desk, which is

nearer to you.

stand on that, George?

Thanks to you, I can't stand at all.

George, we used to have fun.

Remember all the things we used to do?

Yeah, like walk.

No, I mean like playing games.

Why don't we play a nice game now?

Now, see, that's the first decent idea
you came up with since you told the cop

to take the bicycle off my leg.

Now, the game is over there in the
cabinet, which is near you.

13 triple word gives me 39.

Okay. Oh, wait a minute, George.

What kind of word is phlebnos?

It's an insect.

A poisonous bug.

You mean to tell me you never heard of
the South American vampire phlebnos?

it up in the dictionary.

There's no sense in looking it up,
Weezer. Just discovered them last year.

Wait a minute. Then how do you know they
lived for a hundred years?

Uh, dental records.

Take it off the board, George. Oh, come
on, Weezer. I said nothing about your

old stupid word, patenting.

That's yours.

What'd I say it was?

A South American duck who lived...

of those animals, George? Of course not,
we. And I'm sure there's a married

couple in South America playing the same
game right now arguing over cat.

Now it's your turn.

Oh, wait a minute. I gotta get me some
lettuce.

Oh, a Z!

I need it, I need it!

Oh, I feel it. It fell inside my cat.

Oh, come on, we said it was my Z.

Well, so it was yours.

Well, it's too bad now because it's
gone.

No, it's not, because I'm going to get
it out. Stay on your head.

No.

Okay, we'll get a garden hose, see if we
can flush it out.

Look, if you want it that bad, why don't
you just cut my leg off?

We'll see if the garden hose works
first.

Listen, I know what to do. Where is that
hanger you use to scratch your leg? Oh,

good idea.

Here, it is.

All right, now be careful.

Okay. Be careful.

All right.

Take your hand off the hanger.

Oh, now you see that? It's stuck.

Well, that's okay. The cast will be off
in a few weeks. I got plenty of hangers.

How am I going to get this out?

Easy. Just lean back, hold your leg up,
and shake it.

I can't.

Look, you can't. I'll help you out here.

Now, be careful, George. My leg is
broke.

Well, so is mine, George. Don't hear me
crying about it.

through this agony for a letter Z that
you are not using?

I use it. You see the N?

It's a Z turned sideways.

Forget it, George. That's cheating. Oh,
come on. We should just make it because

you lost the game.

No, I'm mad because ever since we were
put in the ambulance, you've been doing

nothing but complaining, and I'm sick of
it. Well, how about you and your big

idea?

Let's play games.

Let's see who can make a snowman.

We used to cap off our evenings when we
were young. Yeah, we're kind of messy

for that, don't you think?

No, no, no. I mean like this.

What?

Shall we?
