waiting for you to get it off your chest

Tony am I not an electronics genius sort of absolutely have I not deserved a

promotion and a raise at the office yes yes a thousand times yes and not to mention the authority that

goes along with it they'd be idiots not to recognize you for what you are thank you they're idiots you didn't get any of the

above no no no a thousand times no don't

rub it in Timnath too bad that's the good part Oh what's the bad part brindle got the

promotion brindle next door Brandon brindle that's

right and the worst is he yes yes he's

now my boss your boss oh no your boss Oh

No yes yes he got his new raise his new

office well look on the bright side he still has his old wife mom dad the smoke

coming out of the brindle's house you're kidding oh yeah we had a fire

yeah Jamie told us fortunately I was able to put it out keeping a cool head under fire no it's pretty bad well

that's my wife's cooking I thought it

was a canary in a Halloween costume how

the fire started it must have been with some faulty wiring you went crazy with that fire extinguisher there was just foam all

over the place Brandon you're supposed to squirt it on the fire now on your wife and child

there's anything we can do to help just let us know oh no no no no no I know

what you're both thinking and I won't hear of it what are we thinking that you

want us to spend the night here oh did dear neighbor wanna tell you the

truth Bonnie came one night but no more no absolutely not not any more than that

we'll just go get a few things I want to

be treated as an ordinary guest I don't want any special favors just because I'm now your boss and can fire you - have

you guys are yes I figured as much Lawson you're my kind of guy bye for now

we don't be or anything like to feed you

Harriet we'd love to have you as our

guest why why well look at it this way they're our neighbors and they're in

trouble look at it this way they're our neighbors and we're in trouble it's nail the door shut

if hearing is sleeping over here not want to sleep over there Jamie go get

cleaned up for dinner honey huh

let's go potatoes oh they won't roll off the plate of course

honey how could you do this to me and what if Brenda finds out about Vicki well she fooled him once and she can

fool him again what's more important is that he's just mean enough to get you fired if we turn them down and it's just

for one night yeah you're right as usual I'd sure be lost without you honey I'm

broke I get a good lawyer why am i laughing no no that couldn't be them not

so soon it's probably just a hungry dog who learned how to knock smoke in our

house is even worse than before oh they were all packed you'd give me access yes what took you so long so who

am I gonna sleep let me show you in

Jamie's review keep teaching calling any bad words I'll punch his lights now

well this says you can tell is the sofa

Brandon why don't you try it whoa it is

lumpy you like there's somebody in here already no I don't know convertible so

bizarre never firm enough for me we can always make up the kitchen table that's pretty firm the only other thing we have

to offer you is a sleeping bag thanks but I already have one and if he doesn't

look out I'm gonna put him in stitches now about supper we do not want to

impose no way are you going to be cooking for us no no no no no no no if you insist on going out no that's not

what she means Bonnie meets after you cook for your family then she'll cook for our family oh well if that's all

settled uh-uh I forgot my bathrobe and slippers I better go get him so I can be nice and

comfy tonight Oh would you see if you can find my chinstrap now I'm just gonna

need a few things Pat's and pans or maybe some food don't

know hey I am making this so complicated it's not fair to rush you with your

dinner so that I can cook thank you why don't you just cook for all of us

okay I can manage I think I'll just slip into a nice relaxing bubble bath I like

to sink in right up in here and let the bubbles tickle my nose I wish she'd sink

in right up to here just one night something about just one night well I

said how enjoyable it is have you folks here for a night oh they're gonna enjoy

it even more than there's too much smoke to even get into the house we're gonna be here for a couple of days what hey where's my beautiful little

bundle of chubby your bundle of chubby is taking a tubby well she better get

out cuz here comes hubby well you know

honey I think I've really learned something from all of this what's that what they mean by justifiable homicide

[Music]

thanks you've been practically living in there for two days

she makes faces out of stuff in the mirror

well it takes time for our women to look her best then in that case you'll have

to stay in the bathroom for the rest of your life don't be too sure buster I've

got everything any other woman ever had at my age we just don't know how it's gonna turn out that I'll say one thing

for you Harriet you got a smart parrot yeah he could remember and he can repeat

it that's what my father said when he

discovered the fire I can do that I'll

just stand there dummy

yeah oh I better some of your pair of food Jamie I wasn't born yesterday I

just look like I was it's been two whole

days with Harriet have mercy

two days seems more like two months even in my sleep I keep hearing no no no no

no Dan looks like he isn't getting any

sleep he walks around the house like a zombie saying why me why me poor father

mr. brindle got his newspaper again this morning morning awful but I feel great

what are you been doing house smelling mom he's cracking the house I didn't

smell smoke I feel like a pest control

termite Harriet and as we say goodbye to the Brendan's dead wait you're not gonna

throw them out yes I am I'll get my camera and take some pictures Oh Ted

wait maybe we should reconsider I think we're letting our emotions carry us away

yeah ain't it fun why do something foolish now I mean that will undoubtedly

leave anyway since the smokes gone so why'd you or does your job for nothing you know you got to stop that what

making sense all right all right I won't make any waves good and Jamie I'll go to

your room and play with Harriet do I have to yes [Music]

morning morning Jen you are up early this morning not as early as you well

the early bird catches the worm and the worm catches a Sunday paper little joke

very little how's my book Bonnie oh it's

quite dull actually I knew his mistress was the m*rder*r you see they found him dead with a smile

on his face thanks for telling me the ending oh why are you two standing we're

thinking of dancing Oh Bonnie looks so comfortable on the sofa I didn't want to

ask her to move oh it's no trouble you just sit yourself down here and I'll put

my feet in your lap listen you two I have really good news I

was just over at your house and guess what I think the smoke has cleared up no

kidding yeah good I guess you'll be real

anxious to get back to your own house and your bed well I do miss my electric

blanket and with Brandon you need one oh by the way kid did you know that the guy

that sells us our company insurance told me my fire policy well yeah he's a friend of mine I recommended him to you

remember I like him not too bright got our policy too special Rachel oh that's because Brandon was smart and got

a non-smokers clause in the policy I've been making up a list of the stuff we lost in the fire my golf clubs my

binoculars dragon you never had golf clubs or binoculars yeah yeah the

picture I do the picture is you sitting

in jail yes Brandon he's right and I

don't approve of it not one little bit no no no no no no no there's no possible

way they're ever gonna find out well in that case throwing the fur coat for me

listen uh why don't we be real good neighbors and help you folks get your

stuff together so you can title on back home I could even pack you a little picnic lunch to take along oh gee that's

awful but you know it might not look good to the insurance company we move back in to

Silla mother I guess you'll have the pleasure of our company another couple of days what why don't we go make some

coffee I don't want coffee oh nothing for us either Oh maybe a sandwich do you have any jambon that's a French for ham hold

the Mayo for me don't you ever lose I'm

not programmed to these are you that smart or my dad dumb Paulie we're gonna

have parents for Thanksgiving is that

all your parent knows to talk about you just repeating what my mother said I

thought your dad said the fire started with some faulty wiring that what he

said I guess I've got a big mouth I can keep that for your body should be in

proportion to your mouth you'd have to be 6 foot 2 inches

[Laughter]

all right I've had it I don't care if it does cost me my job and don't try to talk me out of it this time

the next sound you hear will be my foot against his seat I won't change my mind

I was just gonna say put on your spite golf Johnny that's pretty sadistic I am

so proud of you

Wow lunch soon you're quicker than chicken delight Brandon we have to talk

sure I finished the crossword puzzle anyway oh boy what fun Brandon I'll make this brief

this isn't working what isn't how about going to a hotel I wouldn't think of

having you in the family go to a hotel Brandon he means you and Barney are you

asking us to eat at least Landon are

they hinting that we have worn out our welcome I think he's hinting that he wants to get fired right after they make those

sandwiches no sandwiches well that's compassion for you certainly

use fine way to treat people who nearly

lost their lives in the fire well you're sorry Bonnie but it's just

impossible for the four of us to live together in the same house I don't know how the two of you can live in the same

home period we're leaving you and your

father have been insulted we're going Lawson but be it on your head if that

faulty wiring flares up again and barbecues us of our sleep mr. brindle that faulty wiring didn't cause your

fire it was you Oh what makes you say that daddy

Martin's nap that told him it was the parents stupid bird they shouldn't let

those feathered foreigners in the country well well well well well so you

told the fire insurance company you were a nonsmoker eh Brandon well I should be a good time

to tell them the happy news right mother I can hardly wait to hear it myself that

by my side but a man of ability judgment knows when to keep his mouth shut the crisis and we did sight in like all is a

crisis I'll tell you what I'll do I won't say a word if you don't hand in
