And now to today's story, starring me.

And NOT starring Nannete Manoir.

Today is a day that started out good.

Finally, my very own Astronaut Bob Astro-Disk!

It was a thing of plastic beauty.

And so versatile.

Too bad after such a good start,

everything went straight downhill.

Come on, Gordy. Throw it already.

It smells like spoiled milk, Angela.

This toy's not sanitary.

Would you please just throw it please??

Oh! Oh!

Heavens to betsy- another one of those

nasty novelty nuisances!

Well, off to the verboten drawer for you!

Gordy Rhinehart, look what you did!

Gee, I'm really sorry, Angela.

Want the Mr. Tofu Toy I got out of my box of Sugar-free

Soy Squares?

Thanks but no thanks.

But if you want, you could go into Brinks' desk when

she's not around and-

No way, Angela.

Great, it's Karlene.

Ninnie- wart must be sending her spies to spy on us.

Actually, she looks like she's lost.

Nanette... horrible... terrible...

I know Nanette's horrible and terrible.

Tell me something I don't know.

Hey Nanette, here is your missing

link that you are missing.

I'm not missing her at all.

Not after what she did yesterday.

I've never been so appalled.

I'm appalled, too!

I'm appalled even more.

I decided we should all have fur hats.

So I went out and bought a fur hat,

and January went out and bought a fur hat,

but what did Karlene do?

She bought herself a fake fur hat.

As if she thought I wouldn't spot a synthetic a mile off.

I haven't the words to express my feelings of

betrayal, not even in French.

Speaking of fake.

But I told you: it's not my fault, it's Daddy's!

He cut my allowance to several hundred dollars per

quarter when he found out I used his credit card to buy

those hand- painted ceramic kitty collectables for you.

Remember?

They weren't ceramic.

They were Limoge.

I've had to cut corners.

You don't cut corners on essentials.

Come on, January, let's go have fun the old fashioned way -

we'll buy it!

Hey Nanette! Could you buy me some fun, too?

Wait up!

I can't believe it.

Even when Karlene is in shock she's still got

amazing copy-catting skills.

I think we should let her sit with us.

She could be like the puppy I never had due to my

allergy to dog dander.

Sorry, Gordy Rhinehart, but I do not trust her on

account of she's still too Nanette-y.

Maybe after a year or two it will wear off.

Run along Karlene.

That's a girl - back to Nanette.

Maybe you should, Karlene.

I'm sure January and Nanette miss you already.

I almost feel sorry for her, but c'est la Vie,

which is French for "tough truffles".

[LAUGH]

We'll be better off without Karlene,

I'm sure of it.

I'm sure of it, too!

And I'm sure of it even more!

All right, all right. Have a seat.

You sure got an awful lot of food there.

And since lunch is only fifty minutes,

maybe I should start helping you now.

Gee Angela, I still feel horrible about what happened

to your Astro-Disk.

Maybe if I supplied you with all of my gold stars,

you could win it back at the end-of-the-month auction.

But the end-of-the-month auction is at the

end-of-the- month, Gordy Rhinehart.

True. I suppose you would need to supply a little patience.

A little?!

C'mon you guys - taking it back early isn't breaking

any rules.

It's more like "borrowing" something back that belongs

to me anyway.

Tell you what, whoever gets it for me gets treated to

samples from Mapperson's.

But Angela, Mapperson's samples are free anyways.

Yeah, but, I'm also offering free delivery.

Forget it, Angela.

Walking to Mapperson's is all the exercise I get.

Karlene: I'll do it.

You, Karlene? You would do that for me?

Sure.

Mrs. Brinks lets me and January and Nanette borrow

stuff from the "confiscated drawer" whenever we want.

So now I'm thinking maybe Karlene is not so bad to

have around after all.

Good catch, Angela!

I think it was a good catch even more!

Come on, Karlene. Join in.

Uh, why am I doing this again?

Because it's fun.

How can this be fun?

I mean we haven't spent any money at all yet.

C'mon!

You're holding up the game!

Ah, I broke a nail!

Sorry, but I can't keep playing if this is going to happen.

My manicure cost me five dollars a nail.

Well, at least the game finally cost you something.

Maybe you would sound better if you bought a better

quality comb.

Say, tortoise- shell or elephant tusk?

But that's the beauty of comb harmonicas, Karlene.

They sound the same no matter what they're made of.

Here, try it.

You're a natural.

How much did you say this cost?

[LAUGH]

Wow, this is free and it's fun!

I can't believe how much money I've been saving

playing with you guys.

That's nice, but we've still got lots more neighbors

left to annoy.

So now I am thinking it is hard to believe that I,

Angela Anaconda, am in the middle of the kitchen of my

sworn-arch- enemy-Nanette's-fo ormer r-kiss-up,

Karlene.

We were all going to go to Abatti's for pizza,

but Karlene said we could all go to her house instead

to eat for free.

I think she is getting the hang of this.

Wow, you really don't need to spend money to have fun.

Do you realize that in the time I've spent with you

I've saved over $?

Ninnie-Wart probably spends that much on a single hat

in a single day.

Hey, you're right!

Why are you making a face, Karlene?

Have you ever actually tried a baloney

and ketchup sandwich? ' I love em.

I love them even- I'd love them even more if,

you know, they had mayonnaise and pickles!

Hey Karlene, look what I found in your bathroom

a woodchuck!

And he's dead.

No, that's just the awful fake fur hat I bought.

I told the maid to use it to scrub the bidet.

If you don't want it, I'll take it.

Fake fur's my favorite kind of fur.

Thanks, Karlene.

Someday maybe I will do the same sort of thing for you someday.

Password?

Brinks stinks!

Come on in.

You know, Angela, I wonder if it was a good idea to

share the password with Karlene.

Relax.

Now that she is no longer clinging to Nanette like

static cling, I say we can trust her.

Besides, she's bringing the snacks.

You think it's possible to eat bark?

I think my blood sugar just dropped to below zero.

I'm heading to Mapperson's.

Right about now they should be putting out

the fruitcake samples.

Wait for me, fair Gina!

I'm telling you guys, Karlene'll be here any

minute with food bags full of food.

She's probably loading her wagon with baloney right now.

Nope, can't eat bark.

I'm going for pizza.

Not you, too.

No Johnny, wait.

I'm telling you, any minute.

What if something happened to her?

Oh, there she is.

She must've gone back to get a hat.

Hey, that's the hat she already gave me!

I know it looked like I was having fun with Angela,

and maybe I was by mistake, but it didn't take me long

to come to my senses.

I mean, their idea of fun is so cheap.

But at least it allowed me to save up enough money

to buy my real fur hat!

So Kar-LEAN, who has LEANED on me for days.

You were just using us for your own cheap fun, huh?

Well maybe now it is time we started using you!

First on account of you are so "flighty",

maybe we should use you for our new "Dunce-O- Disk".

Help me, help me, you will cry.

Fear not, Oh Flying Foe, here comes dog King to the rescue.

Stop it! Stop it! you will holler.

Save me from the doggie slobber,

oh great Angela who knows so much more

about having fun that I!

Sorry, Kar-loser.

But dogs do not like cats - especially copy cats like you!

Poor Karlenie-Weenie, looks like you could use some fresh

Moo-juice to wash off King's interstellar doggie slobber.

No use crying over spilled milk, my fallen friend.

But I am sure you will find plenty of friends in your

new home.

[CHEEP CHEEP]

And even though you still call me cheap,

I am too pig to let it bother me.

Enjoy these nice pig worms, I will say.

My treat!

Eewww!

Hey! Open up in there!

Ew, Angela Anaconda.

What is that thing on your head?

A fur hat.

Like yours, Nanette Manoir.

Oh s'il Vous plait, Angela Anaconda.

That hat isn't at all like any of ours.

Nanette is so right.

Feel the difference.

It's so obvious.

What difference?

Uch! Please!

Forget this riff-raff, Karlene.

[CACKLE]

Well, I guess I should have known.

Once a Clone Clubber, always a Clone Clubber.

% Real Fur Not the Tacky Fake Stuff.

Ew, Real fur??

But that means Karlene's got my fake hat!

Eeek! Synthetics!

Angela!

Oh Angela, um, heh- heh, it seems I made a little boo-boo.

Don't worry, Karlene.

I wouldn't dream of insulting you by giving your

hat back for free!

[LAUGHTER]

But I think we can work things out.

Hey, hey, hey, steady now!

Whoa!

Go right!

A little to the left!

Watch out for the hot dog guy!

When it comes to acting like a kid,

nobody acts better then Johnny Abatti's Uncle Nicky.

Right now we are on the streets trying to get a shot

of some exciting true crimes and car accidents to sell to

the 'True Crimes and Car Accidents' show.

LOOK OUT!

[SCREAM]

Nicky!

What's the matter with you?

Taking pictures out the window with the Bambinos in the car!

You coulda damaged the camera!

I was doing a new business!

Abatti's pizza - that's our business!

There's a way to make big money with this camera!

I can feel it in my bones.

Ahh, I'll give you something to feel in your bones!

Hunh? New business!

Ma Fie!

♪Where do you go when you need fresh air?♪

♪To the county fair! To the county fair!♪

Not again with thata commercial!

Nicky!

You make me buy that big TV to get more customers and

the only ones who ever come are Johnny and his friends,

and they don't even pay.

Hey, it's an investment Ma.

We just need some way we could tell everybody how

snazzy it is at Abatti's.

Ya know, something that people would pay attention to.

♪Where do you go to eat delicious pears?♪

♪To the County Fair! To the county fair!♪

Something that would stick in people's heads so as to

make'em remember us.

♪ Where do you go to sample the wares? ♪

♪ The County Fair! It's the County Fair! ♪

♪ It's the county fair.

Eh, I got nothing.

I know we made a sacred oath never to go to the

County Fair again, Gina Lash.

But for some reason I just feel like going!

I know what you mean.

Pears have never been my favorite,

but for some reason I'm craving them.

And I got a sudden urge to wrestle a bear.

That's it!

The power of advertising!

Who woulda thunk?

We'll use our video camera to make a big time

TV commercial!

I dunno, Nicky.

I bought that camera to take pictures of the family.

So, we'll put Johnny and a coulple of his little

friends in it!

Hey, that's us!

We're going to be in a real live TV commercial on TV!

It's a sure thing!

Ok.

But a nice, family commercial,

to show what a nice, family place this is.

No cheap women or poker games.

Of course, Ma!

You get final cut.

And all it'll cost you is a couple of free pizzas!

Did he say free pizzas?

Well that settles it!

Johnny! I want all your friends down here three o'clock

tomorrow afternoon for a big screen test!

Did somebody say screen-test?

Can we make it four o'clock?

I'll need an hour for hair and make up.

So now our sure thing is not so sure,

on account of we have competition.

And since Gordy loves the theatre,

he has volunteered as our acting coach.

If you really want this role,

you must be willing to suffer for your art and work for it.

Take a deep breath, and feel your hunger.

Imagine if you will, the world's most

delicious pizza.

Now to really emote you must picture yourself in your

most desperate situations.

Angela, you are sad, alone, looking for your lost dog

and you are very hungry.

Gina you are very hungry.

You will fight for this pizza with everything you have!

But don't hurt yourselves!

[WEEPING]

Oh the pain!

You love this pizza, you need it,

you are starving.

We are starving, Gordy Rhinehart.

Perfect!

And I want you to stay that way!

No food until after the audition.

Nonna must sense your hunger.

But why can't we just ACT like we're hungry?

Forget it! I can't work with you people.

It is the day of the screen test,

and we are still starving and not even acting hungry

because we are so really truly hungry.

Is that grape flavored?

Hey Nicky, these girls seem like the real thing, eh!

Hey! Ma, Ma, go back and start again.

Don't talk to the camera.

Slow, slower, that's good.

Hey, you eat when I tell you!

Great drama, people!

Does that mean we get the part?

Nicky: Yeah, sure, okay.

Bonjour, which is French for Bonjourno,

which is Italian for 'I'm ready for my close up,

Mr. Abatti.'

Oh! Like three bombolone!

Beautiful big dolls!

Thanks for trying to help us, Gordy Rhinehart.

We almost had it until the three big ugly dolls showed up.

And don't forget kids, be here to sh**t as soon as

school ends tomorrow, hunh!

You mean we're still in the commercial?

Hey! Is the pope Italian?

Actually no.

Oh. Forget about it!

You're in the commercial.

Yes! We did it!

Then you throw it in the air and catch it,

you know, like they do on the TV.

We need action Ma!

It's a good gimmick!

This is Abatti's, we don't make gimmicks,

we make pizza!

Nicky: Ma! Baby! Sweetheart! Act happy!

You look mean!

No, no, no, all the way in the back.

We need you to make the place look like it's full of

waiting customers, hunh.

Pardoné moi, but just who do you think you are?

The stars?

And, take one!

And, take one-oh-six!

Hey Uncle Nicky, how long we got to spend making believe

we're waiting for a pizza?

Ok, Ok, I guess I got enough star footage here.

You on the end, go up to the counter and say

"I'm here to pick up order number ."

You mean, 'you on the end' as in me on the end?

Nicky: Yeah, yeah, you go.

Finally it is finally time for my big acting break

where I, Angela Anaconda, will show the world what

I am made of!

Hello, I am here to-

Is that order number ?

Oh, merci beaucoup which is French for this is the best

Italian food this side of Sicily!

Improvisation!

Ha, I love it!

But, I was, and then she, that's not fair!

Nobody ever said that show business was fair.

FAIR?

DID SOMEBODY SAY FAIR?

So, today we are sh**ting a commercial for the county FAIR,

starring the latest, the greatest,

Ninnywort Manoir!

And, take one!

♪ Where do you go when you need fresh air? ♪

♪ To the county fair! To the county fair! ♪

♪ Where do you go to wrestle a bear? ♪

♪ To the county fair! It's the county fair! ♪

"Work with me people," the director will say,

"You want to be famous? You'll do things MY way!"

♪ Where do you go for delicious pears? ♪

♪ To the county fair! It's the county fair! ♪

Don't worry Nin, you'll be safe and sound,

filming an ad for the merry go round!

Round and round and round you'll go,

where she stops, the director knows!

"I quit" you will tell me, "because this isn't fair!"

"But it is!" I will say, "As the cows cut your hair!"

♪ At the County fair

Okay, take two!

Nicky: Cut! That's a wrap!

That's all?

The commercial is finished?

Nice work people.

See you at the premiere.

Someday that girl is going to be famous.

Yeah.

Famous for making me sick.

If Abatti's pizza was not giving away free pizza free,

no way would Gina, Gordy or I set foot in that place for

the big TV commercial premiere.

Welcome to Abatti's!

We are proud to present the premiere of our new

TV commercial.

Now, Ma got final say on this commercial,

and she might've snipped a little here and there but I

think we can all agree that we got the picture

we set out to make.

Hit it Ma!

This is Abatti's.

We don't make gimmicks, we make pizza!

Hey! You eat when I tell you to!

'Abatti's pizza', where we treat you like family. Oysh!

We've ended up on the cutting room floor!?!

How dare they!

How double dare they!

How double double dog dare-

Oh, will you two just be quiet five seconds please?

Who knew I was so beautiful?

I didn't say it was time to eat yet!

Uhm Nonna, can we see you in your commercial again?

That's my girl, uh, weesh!

Now that's what I call improvisation, Gina Lash!
