Who's There?
Hey, Kenny, Chill, Man.
It's Just Me.
I Was Meditating.
Got To Stay Centered.
Oh, Sure. I Can See That.
You Got A Little Carrot
On The Center Of Your Forehead.
Thanks, Theo.
No Problem.
What Are You Doing Here?
I Had A Date
In The Neighborhood
And I Figured I'd Stop By.
Your Dad Called You, Didn't He?
Well, Kenny, I Understand
That Olivia Can Be A Handful.
But I Was Even Worse.
First I Blew My Whistle At Her,
Then I Yelled At Her.
I Was Drunk With Power.
Well, It Seems To Me
That You Were In Charge
And It Looks Like
Olivia Was Calling The sh*ts.
You're Telling Me?
She Had Me Doing The Cha-Cha.
I Just Don't Get It.
I Mean, You Work With Kids.
How Do You Keep Them In Line?
I Don't Blow My Whistle At Them
Or Yell
Although I Will Admit,
My First Day, I Tried That.
There I Was In Front
Of The Class
And I Was Yelling,
"Hey, Hey, Sit Down!
Chill Out. Knock It Off!"
By The End Of The Day,
They Had Me Saying
"I'm Going To Tell."
See...
I Realized
That The Only Way You Can
Lead People, Young And Old
Is By Earning Their Respect.
Yeah, That's Fine,
But How Do You Get Them
To Eat
Their Carrots?
You Totally Missed My Point.
If Dad Were
In This Position
He Would Tell The Story
Of The Foogrupa Family.
Is This A Long Story?
Well, If My Dad
Was Telling It, Yes
But You're Going To Get
The Condensed
Theo Version.
You See, Kenny
The Foogrupa Family
Was Very Large
And They Lived In All Parts
Of The Country.
There Was
Cousin Meatloaf Foogrupa
There Was Potato Foogrupa--
Uncle Spud, That Is.
There Was The Big Cheese
Of The Family
Cheddar Foogrupa
And The Little Cousins
Were Red-Headed Carrot-Top Kids.
Stay With Me
Because The Plot Thickens.
The Foogrupas, Right?
Yes, Yes.
Now...
The Foogrupas
Got Together
For A Reunion On A Big Plateau.
That's French For Plate.
The Carnival Was There
And They All Took Turns
Riding The Forklift
Into The Tunnel Of Yum.
Now, Suddenly
All The Foogrupas Were Gone
Except For The Carrot-Top Kids.
The Operator
Of The Forklift, See
He Didn't Want To Let Them
Into The Tunnel Of Yum.
Pretty Soon,
The Little Carrot-Top Kids
Started To Cry.
They Said, "Oh, Dear.
"We're Going To Be
Little Orphans.
"I Miss My Mommy And My Daddy,
And Uncle Spud Too.
"Is There Anyone Out There
That Could Help Us?
"Is There Any Little Boy
Or Little Girl
"That Can Lift Us
On Their Forklift
"And Put Us
Into The Tunnel Of Yum
So We Can Be With The Rest
Of Our Family?"
Don't Worry,
Little Carrot-Top Kids.
I'll Save You!
I'll Help You!
The Foogrupa Family
Will Never Separate.

But Mario And I
Have A Certain Repartee.

About It
Look, My Father Is A Musician
So Some Of It
Had To Be Inherited.
Yes, But See, Honey
Your Father Is A Real Musician.
He Practiced His Trombone
Eight Hours A Day For Years.
You, On The Other Hand
