about some kids our age who fun to ride

Ruth they made millions with the hit

record if they can do it we can do it

yeah we've got the looks the talent the

personality and Jamie must have

something he can contribute to guys look

it's not that easy to make it in show

business it takes lots of hard work and

determination besides you can't sing I

never stopped the Beastie Boys

none of those rock stars can sing like

that throat we saw on TV right Vicki

right they just yelled a lot and then

set the stage on fire right on man

come on Vicki you could be her friend

clubbin I just said Martinez right on

hockey puck it's nice to see the kids so

enthusiastic I don't know honey the last

time Jamie tried to saying his goldfish

drowned the vet called it suicide

favorite pains in the neck it's funny my

can we do for you Brandon as a matter of

fact we came over to invite you to

with my good friend Shirley MacLaine but

she had a previous engagement in the

18th century and then Ronnie and Nancy

phoned and canceled out to Ronnie and

Nancy you mean who else he's sweet but

he keeps nodding off in his food

terrific

no absolutely everybody I don't like to

brag it's just that it comes so

naturally anyway since we can't have

ask you now jeez thanks anyway Brandon

but but Joan already has a big juicy leg

of lamb in the oven oh good then we'll

have dinner with you

anytime's okay make it seven go he's

never garlic clogs my finest why do we

keep letting ourselves get sucked into

these things because we don't want to

tell them off and hurt their feelings
