Oh, my!

13
00:00:56,156 --> 00:00:59,658
I wonder if it's
the same Mervyn Jerome.

14
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:01,026
Who's Mervyn Jerome?

15
00:01:01,028 --> 00:01:03,895
He used to run
the animal hospital

16
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:07,132
where we used
to take Arthur, our cat.

17
00:01:07,134 --> 00:01:10,401
And Mr. Jerome
went to my high school too.

18
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:12,971
Oh, my.
He was such a nice man.

19
00:01:12,973 --> 00:01:15,473
He was very close
to his animals.

20
00:01:15,475 --> 00:01:20,244
Archie always said
you couldn't smell 'em apart.

21
00:01:20,246 --> 00:01:22,981
Of course, that was a joke.

22
00:01:22,983 --> 00:01:26,718
It made Mr. Jerome laugh...
sometimes.

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,519
What made you
think of him?

24
00:01:28,521 --> 00:01:30,521
Well, his name
is in the paper,

25
00:01:30,523 --> 00:01:32,991
if it's
the same Mervyn Jerome.

26
00:01:32,993 --> 00:01:34,559
Oh, what
did he do?

27
00:01:34,561 --> 00:01:36,427
He died.

28
00:01:38,497 --> 00:01:43,267
"Suddenly...
Beloved husband of Thelma Ruby.

29
00:01:43,269 --> 00:01:45,603
Services private. No flowers."

30
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:48,272
[GASPS] That could be him.

31
00:01:48,274 --> 00:01:50,508
He suffered from hay fever.

32
00:01:53,012 --> 00:01:55,080
If it's the same Mervyn Jerome,

33
00:01:55,082 --> 00:01:59,450
he's gonna miss
our class reunion next week...

34
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:02,087
if he's dead.

35
00:02:02,089 --> 00:02:03,454
Ma, I think
it's a shame

36
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:05,289
you're gonna miss
the class reunion.

37
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:06,490
Yeah,
just because Archie won't go,

38
00:02:06,492 --> 00:02:07,959
that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

39
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:12,430
Oh, no. I wouldn't
feel comfortable without Archie.

40
00:02:12,432 --> 00:02:16,167
ARCHIE: Edith!
We're out of toilet paper.

41
00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:21,206
No, we're not.
I bought some yesterday.

42
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:23,842
It's in the closet
in the kitchen.

43
00:02:30,082 --> 00:02:32,617
ARCHIE: I ain't in the kitchen.

44
00:02:33,986 --> 00:02:35,653
Oh...

45
00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:36,687
Oh!

46
00:02:40,292 --> 00:02:42,761
ARCHIE: Hurry up!

47
00:02:42,763 --> 00:02:45,096
Don't panic, Arch!
Help's on the way!

48
00:02:45,098 --> 00:02:47,198
Be right there!
I'll take it, Ma.

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,234
Oh, thanks, Mike.

50
00:02:49,236 --> 00:02:51,469
How come Daddy doesn't
check for paper first?

51
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:53,638
Because he's too busy reading.

52
00:02:55,607 --> 00:02:57,608
ARCHIE: All right, Meathead,
just leave it there.

53
00:02:57,610 --> 00:03:00,645
I'll put it on the roller
myself.

54
00:03:03,415 --> 00:03:06,184
Why do you have to look
for cough drops now?

55
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:08,052
Get out of here!

56
00:03:10,522 --> 00:03:11,722
I bet cousin
Amelia was angry

57
00:03:11,724 --> 00:03:12,891
when she found out

58
00:03:12,893 --> 00:03:14,292
you weren't going
to the reunion, Ma.

59
00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:15,526
Oh, yeah...

60
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:18,362
and it's the only reunion
we've ever had.

61
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:20,564
Thirty years.

62
00:03:20,566 --> 00:03:22,901
And now they're
tearing down the school.

"That's where I went to school,"
and pointing to the A&P.

66
00:03:38,383 --> 00:03:40,518
Now, can't we get
one thing clear

67
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,519
around here?

68
00:03:41,521 --> 00:03:42,753
Uh, Mrs. Stivic,

69
00:03:42,755 --> 00:03:43,955
would you get your
little keister

70
00:03:43,957 --> 00:03:45,456
out of my chair?

71
00:03:47,193 --> 00:03:49,194
The person who
uses up the paper

72
00:03:49,196 --> 00:03:50,661

up there

Can't youse none of youse
remember that rule?

75
00:03:55,735 --> 00:03:56,767
That's a rule?

76
00:03:58,337 --> 00:04:00,604
It's one of your main rules
of civilization, Meathead.

[DOORBELL RINGS]
Oh, no, no.

78
00:04:03,609 --> 00:04:05,009
Who could that be,
on a Sunday

79
00:04:05,011 --> 00:04:06,010
ringing the bell?

80
00:04:06,012 --> 00:04:07,011
It's a day of rest.

81
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:08,012
Jeez, don't
people stay home

82
00:04:08,014 --> 00:04:10,248
and read their
bibles no more?

83
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,383
What happened
to Christianity anyhow?

Oh, hiya, Archie.
Hi, Amelia.

Ooh, you're getting
a little thin up here.

Don't fool with it, huh!

94

Sit down,
Amelia.

95
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:42,080
Make yourself comfortable.

96
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:44,082
Would you like a cup of coffee?

97
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:46,150

there's one Twinkie left.

Edith, I want to know
why you sent back

107

this invitation
to our class reunion.

108
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:08,273
Oh, I'm sorry, Amelia,
but I can't go.

109
00:05:08,275 --> 00:05:09,274
But you got to go.

110
00:05:09,276 --> 00:05:11,075
It's going to be
a marvelous party.

111
00:05:11,077 --> 00:05:12,810
Remember Mavis Pike?

112
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:14,279
Yeah!

113
00:05:14,281 --> 00:05:15,880
Well, Mavis is making us
a special banner.

114
00:05:15,882 --> 00:05:18,049
It's gonna say "30th reunion."

115
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:22,287
Oh, Mavis was always
good with words.

116
00:05:24,623 --> 00:05:26,724
Her father
was a butcher.

117
00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:28,592
She used to write
his windows.

118
00:05:28,594 --> 00:05:30,461
What did she do?

119
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:33,898
You know, "Special today:
chuck steak."

120
00:05:35,901 --> 00:05:38,436
Coffee and cookies,
everybody.

Hey, Cousin Amelia.
Yeah?

122
00:05:39,605 --> 00:05:41,705
Did you talk Ma into going
to the reunion yet?

123
00:05:41,707 --> 00:05:42,706
Not yet.

124
00:05:42,708 --> 00:05:43,908
What's the matter
with you, Arch?

125
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:45,043
Why don't you take her?

to you whatever--

you're eating there.

130
00:05:56,990 --> 00:05:59,324
Jeez, ain't nothing
sacred to you at all?

131
00:05:59,326 --> 00:06:00,325
Sorry. I forgot.

132
00:06:00,327 --> 00:06:01,725
They ought to make
a horror movie

133
00:06:01,727 --> 00:06:03,394
out of your stomach.

134
00:06:05,197 --> 00:06:06,197
Want the rest?

135
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:07,731
I don't want it now!

136
00:06:07,733 --> 00:06:09,667
Daddy,
you're just evading the issue.

137
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:11,836
Why won't you take Ma
to her class reunion?

138
00:06:11,838 --> 00:06:13,271
I promised Barney Hefner

139
00:06:13,273 --> 00:06:15,673
that I'm gonna go bowling
with him on Saturday.

140
00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:17,275
That's a promise.
That's a point of honor.

141
00:06:17,277 --> 00:06:18,776
"Point of honor"?

142
00:06:18,778 --> 00:06:20,411
Yeah, which you
wouldn't understand,

00:06:20,413 --> 00:06:22,146
being a Twinkie thief.

144
00:06:25,017 --> 00:06:26,917
Daddy, remember how
you used to love

145
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:28,786
going to your old
Air Corps reunions?

146
00:06:28,788 --> 00:06:30,121
Oh, now, come on.

147
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:32,823
Are you comparing this
high school stupid stuff

148
00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:34,859
to my Air Corps reunions?

149
00:06:34,861 --> 00:06:37,362
Our Air Corps reunions
was held to "re-memorate"

150
00:06:37,364 --> 00:06:38,762
the great things we had done.

151
00:06:38,764 --> 00:06:41,699
Yeah, like bombing,
strafing, k*lling...

152
00:06:41,701 --> 00:06:43,934
Get away from me, huh?

153
00:06:43,936 --> 00:06:45,936
If your mother wants to go
to that class reunion,

154
00:06:45,938 --> 00:06:47,372
she can go
without me.

155
00:06:47,374 --> 00:06:50,074
Oh, Daddy, you know Ma
never goes anywhere without you.

156
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:51,309
Russell's taking me.

157
00:06:51,311 --> 00:06:53,378
Well, I ain't going,
and that's final.

158
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:55,713
Maybe this'll
change your mind, Edith.

159
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:58,582
I brought you a copy
of the old school paper.

161
00:07:00,753 --> 00:07:02,153

for everybody
in the class.

163
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:04,522
Here.

164
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:07,791
Oh, look. Here's a picture
of the whole class.

165
00:07:07,793 --> 00:07:09,994
Let me see, Ma.
Which one is you?

There I am. Edith Baines.

167
00:07:12,999 --> 00:07:15,466
Oh, you look
so young.

168
00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:17,768
That's because
I was younger then.

169
00:07:22,474 --> 00:07:24,808
Archie, look, here's Amelia.

170
00:07:24,810 --> 00:07:28,046
Oh, look at Amelia
with all the braces.

171
00:07:28,048 --> 00:07:30,648
Jeez, what a face full of wire
you had.

172
00:07:32,351 --> 00:07:34,785
1943... Ma, can Michael
and I look at this?

173
00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:35,786
Sure.

174
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:38,156
We were kids then, Archie.

00:22:20,605 --> 00:22:22,639
[LAUGHS]
That's right.

528
00:22:22,641 --> 00:22:24,041
What the hell
happened to you?

529
00:22:27,111 --> 00:22:29,412
I married
a gourmet cook.

530
00:22:29,414 --> 00:22:30,280
[LAUGHS]

531
00:22:31,449 --> 00:22:33,450
Looks like
she's in there with you.

532
00:22:40,124 --> 00:22:43,727
Listen, I know someone
who's waiting here all night

533
00:22:43,729 --> 00:22:44,995
to meet you again.

534
00:22:44,997 --> 00:22:46,230
Yeah? Who?

535
00:22:46,232 --> 00:22:48,398
My wife.
She used to be Edith Baines.

536
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,833
Edith Baines.

537
00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:51,835
That's right. I'm gonna get her
and bring her over.

538
00:22:51,837 --> 00:22:53,403
You stay right here, see?

539
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:54,637
Don't let nobody move you.

540
00:22:57,775 --> 00:22:58,976
Hey, Edith! Edith?

541
00:22:58,978 --> 00:23:00,377
Hey, get away
from me here, huh.

542
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:02,479
Will you get
out of the way?

543
00:23:02,481 --> 00:23:05,682
Edith... Edith,
there's somebody over here

544
00:23:05,684 --> 00:23:08,551
that you're gonna
be very happy to see.

545
00:23:08,553 --> 00:23:10,287
Step this way.

546
00:23:10,289 --> 00:23:11,788
I'll bet you'll never
recognize him.

547
00:23:14,025 --> 00:23:15,292
Buck Evans.

548
00:23:17,228 --> 00:23:19,963
Edith Baines.

549
00:23:19,965 --> 00:23:22,766
Oh, Buck!

550
00:23:22,768 --> 00:23:24,434
How'd you recognize me?

551
00:23:24,436 --> 00:23:26,904
I'd know you anywhere.

552
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:30,173
Your eyes.
Your eyes are just the same.

553
00:23:30,175 --> 00:23:33,310
I can still see
right inside you.

554
00:23:33,312 --> 00:23:36,579
See, Archie?
Ain't he beautiful?

555
00:23:38,783 --> 00:23:41,318
Uh, nice to meet
your acquaintanceship there.

556
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,653
Can I just take my wife
over here for a minute?

557
00:23:43,655 --> 00:23:45,022
We'll see you, huh?

558
00:23:45,024 --> 00:23:46,823
Edith, Edith.

559
00:23:46,825 --> 00:23:49,759
I will never be able
to figure you out.

560
00:23:49,761 --> 00:23:53,696
You and me,
we look at the same guy,

561
00:23:53,698 --> 00:23:55,865
and you see a beautiful person.

562
00:23:55,867 --> 00:23:57,500
I see a blimp.

563
00:23:59,971 --> 00:24:04,241
Yeah.
Ain't that too bad?

564
00:24:04,243 --> 00:24:07,110
But, then,
you're beautiful too.

565
00:24:15,586 --> 00:24:18,488
Here we are.
We're home!

566
00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:21,491
They can see
that, Edith.

567
00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:22,759
Did you have
a good time?

568
00:24:22,761 --> 00:24:25,095
Oh, it was
wonderful.

569
00:24:25,097 --> 00:24:27,497
And Amelia says
it was so much fun

570
00:24:27,499 --> 00:24:28,698
we're gonna
have a reunion

571
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:31,601
every 30 years
from now on.

572
00:24:33,471 --> 00:24:34,871
What'd you think
of the reunion, Arch?

573
00:24:34,873 --> 00:24:36,706
Well, I'll tell
you one thing.

574
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:38,008
Your mother-in-law

575
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:39,776
was the prettiest lady
in the whole crowd.

576
00:24:39,778 --> 00:24:41,845
Oh, Archie.

577
00:24:41,847 --> 00:24:43,413
Aw, don't lose
your head, Edith.

578
00:24:43,415 --> 00:24:45,849
There was an awful
lot of losers there.

579
00:25:01,732 --> 00:25:04,667
[♪]

580
