Original subtitles

Hey, didn't I just pay bills last month?

Just the ones stamped "final notice."

This month we're doing the ones personally delivered by the sheriff.

- Where's your mother? - She said she couldn't watch this.

It depresses her.

So she took your wallet, and she went shopping.

But if that damn woman isn't here, who am I supposed to yell at?

She left this. Go ahead, Dad.

Who could run up a $260 phone bill?

I'm sorry, Al.

I made a mistake. It'll never happen again.

All right.

A hundred and sixty dollars for a haircut and a manicure?

I can explain that one.

You better!

It was just a one-time thing, and it'll never happen again.

All right.

Who spent $50 on a tape recorder?

Oh, Al, I'll never do that--

Hello?

Oh, hi, Mom.

No, I'm just putting a tape together for that idiot husband of mine.

Erase that, Kelly.

I will, Mom.

Don't forget, now.

I said I will.

What do I look like, an idiot?

Hey, I'm gonna do it.

Well, that's done.

Now, let's see what's left to go into the old savings account.

Hey, a big nickel.

See, kids, one day, all that will be yours.

I said one day!

Dad, I hate to be the fly in your Preparation H, but...

...You missed a bill.

Daddy, you should do what Mom says:

Marry somebody who's got a job. Didn't your mom ever tell you that?

No, honey. My mom told me to marry an anchor...

...And cling to it as it sinks to the bottom.

Chicko's Storage? What the hell is Chicko's Storage?

Our storage bin.

What the hell you mean? Nobody told me about a storage bin.

What could we possibly put in a storage bin?

Thanks, Adolfo. Just put the rest in the storage bin.

Hi, honey.

Hi, pookie.

What you got there?

It's a boar's head.

I know, but what do you have behind your back?

No, I saw it, Daddy. It is a boar's head.

Rest, honey.

Peg, why did you buy a boar's head?

Well, if you must know, it aroused me.

Glassy eyes, stuffing for brains, nothing below the neck.

Nail it to a toilet bowl, it could be you.

No, it couldn't, 'cause unlike me...

...Someone loved him enough to put a bullet in his head.

I can't live like this. I already got a dog and three leeches.

What am I gonna do with a boar's head?

All right. Kids, take that thing to the garage.

- All right. Let's go. - No, no, no, no!

The boar's head.

You gotta be a little bit more specific, Mom, because--

Yeah, I mean, usually when you say "that thing," you mean Dad.

- I know. - Peg, this has got to stop.

I'll do with that thing what I should've done to you after the wedding:

Strap it to the hood of my car, take it back to the woods.

You can't take it back. I got it at a yard sale.

Peg, don't you know the things you buy at a yard sale are just junk?

No, they're not.

That's where I got your reading glasses...

...And the brake linings for your car and antibiotics for the kids.

Besides, you buy a lot of worthless junk too, like your bowling ball.

Peg, I go bowling. You don't go boaring.

Well, once every couple of months I do.

It's me!

See, Peg, this is why I tell you lock the door.

Peggy, the most wonderful thing happened.

I have a date.

Al! Marcie has a date!

Gee, they must be selling parkas in hell right now.

Well, we can only hope your dad can afford one.

So, what's he like? Is he tall? Is he rich?

Is he sighted?

Al, pick a hole in your head and stick your finger in it.

Grownups are talking.

Peggy, my mistake was looking for a man to love...

...When all I really needed was a man to hurt.

- I think I found him. He's perfect. - Are you gonna have sex with him?

Well, you heard her say she wants to hurt him.

Anyway, this is not something I'd admit in front of a man...

...But I'm a little nervous about this sex thing.

It's been a long time. Three months.

I could do three months standing on my head.

I'm just so used to Steve. It was his one strength.

Well, that and show tune trivia.

But what if this guy's no good at all?

Well, you've come to the right place.

I'll tell you, the most important thing the first few times...

...Is to make them feel they're doing a good job...

...Even when they're not.

You know, I say things like, "Oh, honey, I wasn't laughing at you.

I was just thinking of a joke."

Or, "You know, when it's the real thing, it only has to take but a minute."

And you should always keep a little cup of water...

...By the side of the bed, sort of sprinkle your brow.

He'll really think you're into it.

I've gotten a few "suffer, baby's" from Al with that one.

Oh, and then...

...If you have a free hand, which I always do...

...You wanna just sort of reach over to the clock and move it forward.

It's a good confidence builder.

And always practice moaning to cover up your yawns.

You know, I guess what I'm saying is...

...You've just gotta leave the man with something.

Peg, you forgot about your best secret move:

You know, spitting Cracker Jacks while you shout instructions.

Oh, and the passionate:

"Remember, tomorrow's garbage day" at just that right moment.

See, I can't speak for all men, but that really turns me into a tiger.

Dad, there's no more room left in the garage.

I had to take this out to get the boar's head in.

Hey, look what else Mom bought.

A collection of Danish Dames magazines.

Hey, that's not mine.

How--? How the heck did those get in there?

Damn vandals must have left them.

I'll make sure they're put in the trash where they belong.

Idiot.

Peg, what's this?

That's an ashtray that teaches you geography.

That way you can smoke and learn.

- What a find. Where'd you get it? - Hampee's garage sale.

How could I have missed it? I was there when they opened.

- You see the three-legged chair? - Got it.

Damn.

The only thing better than going to a good garage sale...

...Is having your own.

- When I was a little girl-- - Oh, help me!

We'd have a garage sale every summer.

My mother would sell anything: old lamp shades, record albums...

- ...The training bra off my back. - What were you, about 25?

I was 13 and making more money than you.

Anyway, our garage sales were always a big success.

We made $500 once.

My personal stuff was the biggest seller.

I guess when you see a little girl cry...

...As strangers pry her cherished belongings out of her hands...

...People think they're getting a real bargain.

Why, the big 50 cents they got for my dog, Chester...

...Helped pay for that weekend in the mountains...

...My parents took without me.

But I guess I would have been a real downer, you know, screaming:

"Chester, Chester, please come home. I can't live without you."

I don't think about it much...

...Except for the times when I wake up screaming.

Five hundred dollars, you say?

Marcie just gave me a great idea.

Peg, scrape the dog doody off the grass.

The Bundys are having a yard sale.

BUNDY BURGERS $5

Al, I can't believe you're doing this.

- You're selling my life's work. - Not your whole life's work.

I'm keeping my knotted bowels.

- Dad, what's the price on this? - Ten cents.

- Winky? You can't sell Winky. - Pookie, Winky's dead.

Why would you buy a dead bird?

Well, they said he could speak over 100 words.

Okay, make it a quarter, son.

- How much, Dad? - Oh, no.

You can't sell this painting. It's unique.

It's Paris Seen Through the Eyes of a Dead Man.

Kids, tie your mommy up.

Al, I have spent ten years amassing these treasures...

...From the four corners of the block. How can you--?

How can you sell these things...

...When there's all that useless stuff in the house?

You know, there's a vacuum and a stove...

...And your side of the bed, your second pair of underwear--

Begone, woman.

You stink.

Kids, did you put the ad in the paper?

Signs around the neighborhood?

Thumbtacks in the street so cars will get a flat in front of the house?

Yup.

We're open for business.

Three Hours Later

Yep. Open for business.

Look, honey. A parrot!

Hi, pretty bird.

Take me home.

I wanna be part of your family.

I love you.

Excuse me. Isn't that you talking?

How dare you come into my own yard...

...And accuse me of passing myself off for a dead bird?

Look, we're sorry.

How much?

And I'll take this, and this, and this. Oh, my.

What can I do for you?

- How much for this wagon wheel? - Twenty-five cents.

That's ridiculous. I'll give you 50 cents.

No, my daddy says 25.

Bud, you notice anything unusual over there?

Which do you mean, Dad?

Mom dressed like an idiot...

...Or Kelly for the first time using the word "no."

And I'd like this, and this, and this.

Dad, I got a live one here. She'll buy anything.

Watch.

- Twenty dollars. - I'll take it.

What an idiot.

Kelly, go change the newspaper under the dead parrot's cage.

I'll handle this.

- Soak her, daddy. - Winky's waiting, honey.

- Hello, Peg. - Hi, Al--

I mean, hello, mister.

Peg...

...The cow bell.

You stink.

- Burger? - Yeah, I'll have a couple.

Son...

...Have I told you not to marry?

- Yeah, Dad. - Good. That's good.

Have I told you not to be a shoe salesman?

Yeah, Dad.

I guess I've told you everything I know then.

Son, what do you wanna be when you grow up?

- Well, I was-- - Yeah, I wanted to be a football player.

Now I just wanna be like him.

Sure, you have to eat a bowl full of the private parts of horses...

...But then you go to the bathroom on the lawn...

...And somebody says you did good.

That's all I wanted:

To lie in the sun, to run in the grass...

...To see a good-looking bitch through a chain-link fence.

What's the use? It'll never happen, so...

A dog is an animal With big floppy ears

Oh, God.

- What's with Dad? - He's having the dog dream again.

Good boy.

You know, I can't understand why we can't sell any of this junk.

Honey, see, lawn sales are based on the Bigger Idiot theory.

Nothing's so dumb that some bigger idiot won't come along and buy .

But the flaw in that theory is that eventually you get to the head idiot.

And you call her "Mom."

So, what do we do, Dad?

Give up and become Sanford and Son?

No. I'll think of something.

Remember the Bundy credo:

"A Bundy never wins, but a Bundy never quits."

No, Dad. It's, "a Bundy never eats."

No, no, no. It's, "a Bundy never learns."

- Wait, isn't it "a Bundy never dies?" - No, "a Bundy never cares."

Shut up, the two of you. Shut up, the two of you.

Give me one minute to think about this...

...And I'll think of a brilliant way to get us out of this.

Welcome to BundyLand

Welcome to Bundyland, the happiest place on earth!

- Having fun? - This reeks.

Just pet the damn dog.

Bud, how we doing on the Wheel o' Fun?

WHEEL -O- FUN 25¢ A RIDE

Great, Dad.

Hold on tight.

ASK WINKY

THE PSYCHIC DEAD BIRD A QUESTION 25¢

Why do men treat me like I'm stupid?

Beats the hell out of me.

They treat me that way too.

Maybe it's because we're blond.

Hey, P.T. Barnum.

So you didn't think I could get a guy, huh?

Well, I did, and he can't wait to get his hands on me.

But I made him stop here first...

...So you could see what a real man looks like.

Check him out.

The best thing about him is that he's a one-woman man.

Then that must be her now.

Roland, get back here.

When I buy a guy dinner, I expect something for it.

Al...

...I'm so depressed.

Welcome to Bundyland, the depressingest place on earth.

I was just over at the Friedmans' garage sale down the block.

Know what they're saying?

"Why does your husband go on living?"

No, no one knows I'm married.

They're saying that all my stuff, my treasures are junk.

Peg, I've been telling you that.

Yeah, but these are strangers. I care what they think.

Oh, Al, I've failed me.

As usual, I can see that you're making it big.

All right, everybody, family meeting.

Kids, it is with a heavy heart that I have to report...

...That Bundyland is a complete and total failure.

A first for anything named Bundy.

Gee, I wish it could be like one of them big wanker hoedowns.

You know, where everybody gathers around the still...

...And they play spin-the-cousin.

Now, here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna take everything that's left--

That includes everything.

--And dump it in a stranger's yard.

What if someone sees us?

Mutter something in German. Blame it on the Schultzes.

Right, Dad.

Now, Peg...

...Have you learned anything this time?

No.

Then I'll explain it to you.

Peg, you have attended your last garage sale.

See, pookie, we're broke, and you're stupid...

...And the combination just doesn't work out for the family.

Peg, don't you realize that we don't need all this stuff to be miserable?

We've got each other.

Oh, Al, I know you're right.

I know I have to stop, but I can't.

It's like that stuff just beckons to me...

...And I feel like I have to buy.

And yet you never feel the need to cook a meal or wash a sock.

Hey, what am I, sick?

All right, Peg, let's start clean.

Clean garage, clean yard, separate beds.

I know! We'll even start eating.

Honey, I'm going to give you $10.

Now, I want you to buy...

...No animal heads or paintings...

...Or Hoss Cartwright ceramic memorial hats.

Just food.

Do you think you can do that, pookie?

I can do it, Al.

I've bought other things.

I can buy food!

Al, you're looking at a whole new Peggy!

Maybe this one won't be able to find her way home.

Must buy food. Must buy food.

I must buy food.

I'm gonna buy food.

I'm gonna buy food. I'm gonna buy food.

$5,000 ONLY $10 DOWN

Buy me.

No.

Buy me.

I have to buy food!

Buy me.

Well...

...Okay.
