uniform more elusive I should say what

uniform when you send him to military

to look like a tract house it's our

first home you know oh well the first

home can have sentimental value if

[Laughter]

Vicky is always trying to be so help yes

little girl well our daughter I thought

our own Mickey's adopted you adopted a

total strangers child how do you know

up with it how are you glad to meet you

well girls get quite a grip on it this

point now it seems to me the first place

supposed to have job opportunities

popping up all the time not for an idiot

we have a guest

hi I just came by to see Jamie sorry I

didn't know you had company

this is mr. and mrs. Marsh and their

arrogant pompous fools

[Laughter]

[Applause]

I read jamie's in his room and would you

take Vikki with you please I do not

believe what I just heard

can it matter where she picked up such

language I think it's obvious where she

learned it considering with whom she

just left the room I don't quite follow

you mister Marcia that boy isn't a

friend of your sons yes he is

oh not a good friend I hope at any rate

you won't have to worry about that shall

we say element in our little community

if you know what I mean I think I know

exactly what you mean and that goes for

this stupid buffoon too stupid mr. Marsh

shot you were right when you said that

Reggie is not a friend of Jamie's he

happens to be his best friend and

Brandon here is my friend too even if he

is a stupid buffoon but he's not an

insufferable bigoted snob like you too

and as for your job I wouldn't work for

you for all the money in the world

gladly my dear I have nothing more to

say

I do goodbye and to think how close I

almost came to selling out they were not

listen Teddy did you really mean all

those nice things you said about things

and of course not but I was on a roll

well thanks anyway someday I'll repay

the favor not right now yeah

football
