01x02 - Thanksgiving Day

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

and the world becomes more complicated

it seems that many of the things that

were once special to it and somehow lost

what made them special sometimes we

don't realize what we value the most

today they very well wind up in a closet

tomorrow

adding machines you to take up half a

desk and now I have a calculator that I

use in my first I wouldn't even bother

recalling hemlines and hairdos

but one thing that always manages to

keep its head above water is tradition a

glue that holds the family together

it's a goo that's only as strong as the

commitment given to it and toughest

tests with someone feels the need to

find their own way and that's what our

stories about in this episode of still a

beaver

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

are you alright hi sweetheart

yeah I'll be okay which is it I don't

think you'd understand anyway try mom

says I'm too smart sound good

well a woman-to-woman of thinking about

your grandpa ward yes especially around

the holiday time you know there was

nothing you like better than an old

family together

I like my future that's why I like her

too

I wish she hadn't moved so far away I'll

never move away

[Music]

Thanks

I hate to break this to you ollie but

just because you put on your good suit

doesn't mean you're gonna get out taking

a bath no need Dillons house they don't

care what you wear to dinner get this

we're gonna watch the football game

while we eat

Wow and it gets even better we're gonna

have to serve in the hot tub I'm not

just baiting like a little kid you saw

my proposal I covered every objection

you could possibly add don't worry I'm

sure I got the gist of it oh my god

today boy do you look terrific why don't

you go down to show your grandmother how

good you look no word yes

did you read my proposal well I

certainly did you know now it was a

little hard to read because of the ease

but I have to admit that your grammar

taken have gotten a lot better thanks

then I can go well let me just say that

I really appreciate that the font and

the maturity that went into this effort

no words I'm stuck here oh let's not get

that attitude you know this is supposed

to be a special day

yeah I'm not trying to be fresh or

anything but I don't think it's special

I have to listen to lumpy rutherford's

rest cuz you're sitting at the little

table well listen to it that always

makes me laugh that's cuz he's your boss

I know it's important to you to be with

your friends but I think it's more

important for you to be with us that's

what you really want you got it

Thanks

[Music]

they really need dessert the hot tub huh

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

good idea Gloria probably has other

plans and I'm sure the airlines are all

booked junk okay I guess we'll have to

think of another way to make my mom

happy okay well give it a try

[Music]

Thanksgiving dinner with your parents

then you can have to marry somebody else

wait

Frederick if your mom has sent you out

here to beg me to stay and she doesn't

realize what a proud person your father

really is actually sir she just wanted

me to give you your jacket

fifteen years all I've heard from fatso

in the old crone is how I'm not

supporting their daughter in a way that

she's accustomed to he's a warden what

am I supposed to do put bars on the

windows get her arsonist to cook for us

to make up

he says he'll give you more time to pay

back the loan whoa that money was a gift

if I give in to this one the next thing

the w*r don't want is the money back on

a crummy vacuum he gave us a wedding

gift only she did

Oh every cat you got a couple of extra

bucks on you

you'll want to receive for this no doubt

that's alright dad

it's a holiday

[Music]

[Music]

not to tell anybody okay don't worry all

the time

cleaver any listen I know this is kind

of late notice but how would you like to

fly out and have Thanksgiving dinner

the holidays but I was really inviting

my aunt Gloria you know with my family

Happy Thanksgiving

to do with your life the sooner I make

these only phone calls all day now

no more phone calls no more delivering

pizzas or we'll call the police if you

don't go to jail and you'll never get

into a good college

can't anything look good yeah that was

shown what was I supposed to do

Thanks me your mother anything already

rub it in why don't you okay they tell

you my old man rented the Rocky Horror

Picture Show for after dinner don't want

to see one come on Mouse come again

noise I'm gonna push over he is yeah the

kind of pushover cries every time he

sees the wizard of oz something like

this dance are still gonna be no you got

nothing to lose by trying unless you're

afraid even ask

you're not afraid your old man are you

[Music]

yeah I know we talked about this before

but I really feel me gonna be missing

something if I don't mean it do them if

you feel that strongly about it

you can have your dessert in the bathtub

don't look at me this time I have a new

agree with your father I really don't

understand I spend every holiday with

your friends you know one time one of my

friends invites me over and you won't

even consider I did consider it and I

told you how I felt

look I'm not the kind of kid who gets in

trouble I try hard in school they

haven't beat up all of our months you

know a couple of times is really asking

for it why are you making me stay here

Kip

you act like spending Thanksgiving with

your family some kind of punishment it's

not that just like you know I'm old

enough to make some choices of my own

especially something like spending a few

hours at a friend's house KITT I'm

afraid as long as you're living in this

house you're gonna have to abide by your

father's decisions that's right when you

get to Dillon's house I want you to

thank his parents for having invited you

over wash your hands before you sit down

and wait a half hour after you eat

before you get in the hot tub or you'll

get cramps that's what you want isn't it

yeah fever I don't understand

it's Thanksgiving I think family should

be together

so do I I think that's something Kip's

gonna have to learn for himself

[Music]

okay fine bookie why don't you get some

new material who are you Rex Reed or

something

no I'm sorry I'm just mad at myself for

letting Kip go two killings

hey no Theodore you did the right thing

you're a terrific father do you really

think so sure my dad never let me do

anything I wanted and I resented for it

come on that was a long time ago oh yeah

cleaned up and you better be getting

him I am sure you look very handsome to

me I guess I owe you an explanation

all I care about it that you're here

meet it

[Music]

no oh don't let me interrupt I was just

passing by and no actually I'm here to

straighten things out about the money

because I sure never wanted to screw up

on you sir

you see warden the only time my old man

had any use for me as if he needed a

target for hollering practice and you

you've never been anything but great to

me I remember when we were first married

me living with you guys up in

Leavenworth that whole summer we just

sat out on a porch listening at the dogs

bark talking the night away I've missed

you warden I swear I'll pay back some

date but until then I'd just like us all

to be together again

I could never say that I just like to

say how happy I am that we're all here

today and you know I think it would be a

nice idea if we all joined hands to give

things because at the time when people

seem to be drifting apart our family and

our friends keep growing closer Wally

would you do the honor ah I'd love to

hey Holly baby the front half they talk

one cling to that lips through the gums

look out stomach here it comes
