little something for you honey it's a

little souvenir pen for my company can

handle portable potties your outhouse in

the suitcase don't leave home without it

[Music]

hey Fred this is a right nice little

Casa but the furniture makes you want to

check your chili oh it's a terrific

house and at a great location here

school for the kids too is this the

place mrs. Lawson was gonna show us must

be my guess she's selling her own hands

[Music]

oh you happen to know just how much is

too much money Fred Freda don't be a

penny pincher it's furnished you can

look for loose change in the couch

well now that is a Stalin point but

that's still a lot of dinero

confidentially my mom want you to get

the best deal possible I think she can

get it for you a little bit cheaper much

cheaper Oh what would you say to a

hundred and twenty-nine thousand

I'd say cheaper how about fifty thousand

big ones now wait a minute wait hold

your horses Freda what are we doing

she's a kid she can't sell us his house

she said her mom wanted us to get the

best deal possible and this contract

looks like the real McCoy to me

I see it's even signed by the owner Ted

Lawson where I come from that's a legal

document you got a point there we're

buying it Fred don't look a gift house

in the mouth

you got yourself a deal honeybunch sign

it Fred but shouldn't we see the rest of

this house first

at this price I don't care if there is a

rest of a house give that to your mom

sweetheart

and this here check come on now let's

hightail it over to the motel and get

our luggage maybe we can check out for

those cheap skins Linds towards us for a

whole day

[Music]

the flu haven't arrived yet

the foods fit around yet what do you

mean Vicki the helper told me to give

them all this contract the house I sold

it this house and there's mr. Foote

signature and a buyer she really took

our house Vicki how could you do such a

thing with my great sales pitch and

incredible legs

[Music]

[Music]

I wear this compact over a dozen times

it could be a legal document with both

your signature mr. flug Zhaan it since I

think you really didn't tell them our

house don't worry honey I've got Jamie

phoning every motel in town when he

finds him I'll explain it was all a

mistake what if they don't think so they

did give us a check

Johnny Johnny look I'm sure the flukes

are reasonable people they'll probably

get a great big laugh out of this order

I'm up to W keep trying okay

by the way what does it mean when the

answer the phone is a adult hotel

does it have anything to do with sex

nevermind I know it had something to do

with sex

I'll get it

how that burger you gotta be the flukes

no I'm Roy Rogers and this year's

trigger

you're gonna be looking for a home where

the buffalo roam

well hi I'm Ted Lawson this is my wife

Joan and boy are we glad to see you out

of there have a fan

we're all set to move in yeah yeah about

this house just point us up to the

bedroom we'd like to go unpack okay no

no no you don't understand you see if it

was all a mistake this house isn't for

sale right I have another house in mind

whew a very nice one I'm sure you

understand of course Fred I think I'll

put red flop wallpaper on that wall

good idea that'll go nice with our

rattlesnake rug excuse me but the the

bottom line is that this contract you

sign just won't hold up well that's your

opinion and you can just move right on

out well why would we move right on out

because I told trigger they can move

right on in

I'm sorry but forget it this is our

house and we're staying in it fine

make yourself to home just so long as

you're gone by the time we get back go

on darling I got to get back to that

portable potty convention we'll be back

later

her good what are we gonna do now I

don't know like I throw that clown out

right on his portable potty

but I guess the sensible thing to do is

call the lawyer dad

I finally found the flues but they just

moved out of the Vans a bar Motel did it

have anything to do with sex

well let me put it to you this way Tom

this is our house and if you can't get

rid of them legally I'm gonna throw them

out what did the lawyer say stay calm

and that'll be $200

I'm afraid not honey I mean they'd sue

us we'd be in and out of court for years

Tom's advice is make the best of it for

the moment okay it looks like we're

stuck with these jerks for a day or two

so so don't let him get to you huh just

stay loose stay loose let's make the key

word call party people party

[Music]

I'd like you to clean out that garage

just as soon as possible darn near

ruined one of my tires when I drove over

your golf clubs uncle I call you look a

little flushed

he's got a toilet honest

what I bought now that deserves a place

on or darling right there over the

living room mantel instead of that ugly

eyesore that's hanging there now I

painted that eyesore are you packed yet

Lawson I want you out of here pronto

oh no maybe they go if they thought this

house wasn't such a good deal what are

you gonna do well we were gonna remodel

anyway right why don't we just start our

remodeling a little sooner than we

planned and with a little help from

Vicky's muscles my muscles what am I

chopped liver

joined the black velvet painting of the

Month Club
