1
00:00:01,201 --> 00:00:02,725
When hanging a light fixture
or heavy mirror,
2
00:00:02,802 --> 00:00:04,793
what's the first thing we need to do, Al?
3
00:00:04,871 --> 00:00:06,133
Find a stud, Tim.
4
00:00:06,206 --> 00:00:10,370
And l think we've come
to the right place, haven't we?
5
00:00:10,443 --> 00:00:12,604
Al, do you recognize this?
6
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:13,976
Your razor, Tim?
7
00:00:14,047 --> 00:00:17,642
No, actually, it's your razor, Al.
l picked it up backstage.
8
00:00:17,717 --> 00:00:22,848
An electric razor can double as
a stud finder. (razor runs)
9
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:28,126
No stud there.
10
00:00:28,194 --> 00:00:30,560
Actually, Al's electric razor
can be a stud finder.
11
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:36,034
lf you listen, the sound of it changes
the closer it gets to a stud.
12
00:00:36,102 --> 00:00:38,093
(finds stud)
13
00:00:41,074 --> 00:00:43,599
My mother gave me that razor, Tim.
14
00:00:43,676 --> 00:00:47,043
Why? Did she go back to blades?
15
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:50,942
This razor can not only
keep Al's mother whisker-free,
16
00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:53,042
it's a handy way
to find studs around the house.
17
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,883
Well, Tim, l also have
a helpful household hint.
18
00:00:55,955 --> 00:00:59,857
l'm going to show the audience something
you don't ordinarily do with a potato.
19
00:00:59,926 --> 00:01:01,416
You might wanna keep the kids
away from the TV set.
20
00:01:01,494 --> 00:01:03,155
Tim.
21
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:07,965
Here's a safe way
to take a broken bulb from its socket.
22
00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:11,970
You simply take a cut potato,
jam it into the socket, twist...
23
00:01:12,038 --> 00:01:14,131
And in minutes
you have thousands of curly fries.
24
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:17,699
- A wonderful snack for TV time...
- Tim. Tim. Tim!
25
00:01:17,777 --> 00:01:23,374
l doubted the razor, but l gave it a chance.
Please do not mock my potato.
26
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:26,351
You say, ''potato,'' l say, ''stupid.''
27
00:01:27,153 --> 00:01:28,450
Tim, this'll work.
28
00:01:28,521 --> 00:01:32,457
You twist, and pull the broken bulb right
out of the socket. But first, you must...
29
00:01:32,525 --> 00:01:35,050
Jam it in the light.
30
00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:43,631
...unplug the lamp.
31
00:02:52,305 --> 00:02:54,296
(Jill) Well, what do you think?
Can we put the kids in the middle?
32
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,937
( Tim) Well, congratulations. You're now the
Ping-Pong champion in the Taylor house.
33
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:05,041
- You let me win.
- l didn't let you win.
34
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:07,552
You got that delicate high slow lob.
35
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:11,021
l lose concentration
before it hits the table. lt's brilliant.
36
00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:14,856
- Where are all the mugs?
- ln the sink with the dirty dishes.
37
00:03:14,928 --> 00:03:17,158
Shucks. l want a cup of coffee.
38
00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:19,698
Why don't you just wash one?
39
00:03:19,766 --> 00:03:25,102
Mark, a man never loads a dishwasher
till the sink is completely filled.
40
00:03:25,171 --> 00:03:28,538
And besides, l just want some coffee, and
all l need there is something with a handle.
41
00:03:28,608 --> 00:03:32,044
And l think
the moo-cow creamer's gonna work.
42
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:36,004
(moos)
43
00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:39,442
That's good. That's good.
44
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:41,812
- Hi, sweetie.
- Hi, honey.
45
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:45,221
Great news. Mr. Preston -
you know, the features editor -
46
00:03:45,291 --> 00:03:48,021
loved the research that l did
on the weekend-getaway story.
47
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:49,152
That's great.
48
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:52,357
He's gonna let me
research next month's cover story.
49
00:03:52,432 --> 00:03:55,560
l get to work for a whole nother week.
l am so excited.
50
00:03:55,635 --> 00:03:58,832
That's great. The cover? You've been
working a month, you're doing the cover?
51
00:03:58,905 --> 00:03:59,929
- Yes.
- What you gonna do?
52
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:02,998
Tiger Stadium moving?
The new riverfront project?
53
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:04,737
Compost.
54
00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:08,841
You're not bringing
your work home, are you?
55
00:04:08,915 --> 00:04:12,043
No, it's industrial compost.
Hi, sweetie.
56
00:04:12,118 --> 00:04:15,144
Could be the answer
to the big garbage problem.
57
00:04:15,221 --> 00:04:17,849
Did you not notice
the dirty dishes in the sink?
58
00:04:17,924 --> 00:04:20,825
- l didn't even notice those there.
- But, Dad, you said...
59
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:23,521
- Eat a grape.
- l'm going downstairs.
60
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:27,428
What are you doing?
61
00:04:29,902 --> 00:04:31,893
(moos)
62
00:04:34,941 --> 00:04:36,966
Enjoying a cup of coffee.
63
00:04:37,043 --> 00:04:40,774
You're sucking coffee out of a cow.
64
00:04:41,347 --> 00:04:44,544
That way l don't have to add milk.
65
00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:46,551
You're so pathetic.
66
00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:50,419
Listen, listen, l gotta get this compost
research story done by Friday,
67
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:54,358
so l'm gonna need all the help l can get.
You need to run this house.
68
00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:56,418
(moos)
69
00:04:58,898 --> 00:05:00,388
Not a problem.
70
00:05:00,466 --> 00:05:04,664
l would feel a lot better if you would say,
''l'll do the best l can.''
71
00:05:04,737 --> 00:05:06,864
You want me to say
l'll do the best l can?
72
00:05:06,939 --> 00:05:09,203
Not a problem.
73
00:05:09,275 --> 00:05:12,642
This is a list of all the things
that you have to do tomorrow, see?
74
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:15,010
Now, this is the dry-cleaning slip,
you gotta pick that up.
75
00:05:15,081 --> 00:05:17,743
Then you go to the grocery store.
Here's the list for that.
76
00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:19,785
Then you gotta make the boys' lunches.
77
00:05:19,852 --> 00:05:23,253
Can you put in some celery sticks,
or carrot sticks?
78
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,655
Jill, they don't eat that stuff.
79
00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:29,491
They just turn into
vegetable missiles in a food fight.
80
00:05:29,562 --> 00:05:31,757
Honey, l'll be able to relax
and work a lot better
81
00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:35,858
if l know that you're back here,
doing everything the right way.
82
00:05:35,935 --> 00:05:37,425
You mean your way?
83
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:39,994
That's what l said - the right way.
84
00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:42,834
Mom, we need our pants
for football practice.
85
00:05:42,909 --> 00:05:45,776
Oh, no. l meant
to wash those this morning.
86
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:47,540
That's OK, l'll take care of it.
l'm running things now.
87
00:05:47,613 --> 00:05:50,104
- Guys, let's go wash those pants.
- Uh, Tim, you know,
88
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:52,708
this is really a complicated deal here.
89
00:05:52,785 --> 00:05:55,515
There's two loads, you know.
There's the dark load,
90
00:05:55,588 --> 00:05:58,523
that needs cold water
and this darker-blue bleach,
91
00:05:58,591 --> 00:06:00,957
and the white load
needs hot water and the white bleach.
92
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:03,393
And you can't forget
to add the fabric softener.
93
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:07,024
- What time is practice?
- 1 5 minutes.
94
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:12,466
- That load's done.
- Thanks, Dad.
95
00:06:12,538 --> 00:06:14,529
Thanks, Dad.
96
00:06:18,811 --> 00:06:20,403
Tim, where are the boys' lunches?
97
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,314
l only have two hands, OK? l'll load the
dishwasher, then l'll make their lunches.
98
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:27,615
No, no, no. Honey, you have to make
the lunches and then load the dishwasher.
99
00:06:27,687 --> 00:06:29,678
- What is the difference?
- (bus horn honks)
100
00:06:29,756 --> 00:06:31,951
- There's the bus.
- That's the difference.
101
00:06:32,024 --> 00:06:34,549
- Oh, no.
- Now they don't have any lunch.
102
00:06:34,627 --> 00:06:37,152
Hold on, guys, l got this covered.
103
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:40,529
- l'm buying lunch today. Here's two bucks.
- Buy something nutritious.
104
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,194
- Yeah, right.
- Yeah.
105
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:46,466
Go get some carrots
out of that vending machine they have.
106
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:49,770
Dad, can l have two dollars for Mark?
He's outside, waiting for us.
107
00:06:49,842 --> 00:06:52,868
- Make sure he gets it.
- He will.
108
00:06:53,846 --> 00:06:57,509
Well, at least Mark
won't spend the money on junk food.
109
00:06:57,583 --> 00:07:00,416
Dad, can l have a peanut butter sandwich
for my lunch today?
110
00:07:00,486 --> 00:07:02,351
What are you doing here? l just gave
your brothers your lunch money.
111
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:04,890
Well, at least
they didn't beat him up for it.
112
00:07:04,957 --> 00:07:08,449
- You're gonna miss the bus.
- lt's OK, honey. Don't worry about it.
113
00:07:08,528 --> 00:07:12,396
l will just give you a ride to school
on my way to the compost heap.
114
00:07:12,465 --> 00:07:14,797
Try not to confuse those two, hon.
115
00:07:14,867 --> 00:07:17,768
Are we gonna make
the gingerbread house tonight?
116
00:07:17,837 --> 00:07:21,273
Oh, right. The PTA bake sale.
117
00:07:21,340 --> 00:07:27,074
Um, honey, l think we may have
to buy that at the bakery this year.
118
00:07:27,146 --> 00:07:28,807
You said you were
gonna make one with me.
119
00:07:28,881 --> 00:07:32,783
l know l did. l'm really sorry.
lt's just that l'm so busy this week.
120
00:07:32,852 --> 00:07:36,151
- Hey. l'll make you a gingerbread house.
- Really?
121
00:07:36,222 --> 00:07:38,281
Yeah. And not just
some dinky little house.
122
00:07:38,357 --> 00:07:43,385
We'll get a gingerbread
full-service truck-and-auto service centre.
123
00:07:43,463 --> 00:07:46,193
- Wow!
- Darn right, wow. Oh, yeah!
124
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,896
Go get your coat.
125
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:52,529
Tim, honey, don't use
the blue sponge on the counter.
126
00:07:52,605 --> 00:07:53,594
Huh?
127
00:07:53,673 --> 00:07:55,231
The blue sponge is for the dishes.
128
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:59,074
- The green sponge is for the counter.
- What's the difference?
129
00:07:59,145 --> 00:08:02,308
Well, you're not supposed to use the same
sponge on the counter as the dishes.
130
00:08:02,381 --> 00:08:05,782
- So, the blue sponge is just for the sink.
- No, not always.
131
00:08:05,852 --> 00:08:10,118
When the blue sponge gets dirty, it gets
demoted from the dishes to the counter.
132
00:08:10,189 --> 00:08:12,919
The green sponge gets demoted
from the counter to the floor.
133
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:16,792
Then l pull a new one out from here.
lt might be blue, it might be yellow.
134
00:08:16,863 --> 00:08:19,058
(barks)
135
00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:23,535
Tim, are you gonna
be able to handle all the...
136
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:25,161
- l'll be able to handle it.
- lf you can't, l could just...
137
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:28,173
Look, let me do this my way, OK?
138
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:33,178
You know, Jill, l think it's just about time
you saw how effective my way can be.
139
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:35,407
Mark, shall we show her
what's in the garage?
140
00:08:35,481 --> 00:08:37,506
- Why?
- Dad fixed the washer.
141
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:39,608
Oh, no.
142
00:08:43,389 --> 00:08:47,086
What did you do to my washing machine?
143
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:49,855
Why is it on life support?
144
00:08:51,998 --> 00:08:54,330
- l improved it.
- Unimprove it.
145
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,368
- Come on, honey.
- lt has lights?
146
00:08:56,435 --> 00:08:58,835
Just for effect, OK?
147
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:04,070
l have revolutionized the laundry-care
system. Now, stay with me on this, OK?
148
00:09:04,143 --> 00:09:06,737
You're watching TV,
watching a little football game out there...
149
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:08,439
- l don't like football.
- All right, all right.
150
00:09:08,514 --> 00:09:14,282
You're watching the... opera, and it's 30
to go, all right? You hear the buzzer. Beep!
151
00:09:14,353 --> 00:09:17,550
Time to add the fabric softener.
You go, ''Oh.'' You don't wanna leave.
152
00:09:17,623 --> 00:09:21,218
You'll miss that fat broad with the horns
and the high notes, spiking the ball, right?
153
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:23,592
You see what l've got here?
Bleach, detergent, fabric softener.
154
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:27,064
On timers and tubes.
This adds it by itself, on a time cycle.
155
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:29,499
lt's about ready to go, right about...
156
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:31,434
(timer goes off)
157
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,579
l can't believe it.
lt worked. lt actually worked.
158
00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:48,752
As you see, honey,
l've got things under control.
159
00:09:48,821 --> 00:09:51,187
- So have a nice day.
- lt actually worked!
160
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:53,248
Have a nice day, honey.
161
00:09:53,326 --> 00:09:57,490
And don't sound so shocked.
Mark, Mark! (whistles)
162
00:09:57,563 --> 00:09:59,963
This morning l improved the washer,
163
00:10:00,032 --> 00:10:02,967
this afternoon, l improve the dryer.
164
00:10:03,035 --> 00:10:05,868
- How?
- Oh-ho-ho-ho...
165
00:10:07,373 --> 00:10:11,969
See this? Binford's 20-amp
high-density electric motor.
166
00:10:12,812 --> 00:10:17,647
Once l attach that to the dryer,
it'll spin so fast...
167
00:10:17,717 --> 00:10:23,246
You know those cowboys on your p.j.'s?
They'll be throwing up in their saddlebags.
168
00:10:23,322 --> 00:10:26,018
- Wow.
- Arr-arr-arr-arr!
169
00:10:31,397 --> 00:10:34,332
l just think
that we have done sheet rock to death.
170
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,493
''Sheet rock to death.''
171
00:10:36,569 --> 00:10:40,232
Doesn't sound like you talking, Al.
That sounds like Maureen Binford.
172
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:44,766
Well, she is the producer. And l don't think
she wants to do a show on sheet rock.
173
00:10:44,844 --> 00:10:48,075
l don't give a sheet rock
what she wants to do. lt's my...
174
00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:51,082
People, people. Let's gather.
175
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,880
Maureen, there's only two of us out here.
l think we're gathered.
176
00:10:53,953 --> 00:10:55,853
Good. OK...
177
00:10:55,921 --> 00:10:58,185
Let's confab about tomorrow's show.
178
00:10:58,257 --> 00:11:00,748
All set. Tomorrow we're gonna do
sheet rock installation.
179
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:03,693
Oh, Tim.
We've done sheet rock to death.
180
00:11:03,763 --> 00:11:07,460
- l was just telling Tim that...
- Shut up, Al.
181
00:11:07,533 --> 00:11:09,831
What do you want? To electrocute me
in a lamp again with a potato?
182
00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:11,870
No, silly. We already did that.
183
00:11:11,937 --> 00:11:15,634
But l do think we should devote the show
to more clever household hints.
184
00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:17,767
l'm thinking...
185
00:11:17,843 --> 00:11:20,835
''The Bachelor Corner, with Al.''
186
00:11:20,913 --> 00:11:22,312
Al?
187
00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:24,307
Yeah, you know...
188
00:11:24,383 --> 00:11:26,578
How to get spots out with club soda...
189
00:11:26,652 --> 00:11:29,280
Oh, yeah. Or using vinegar
and water to clean windows.
190
00:11:29,355 --> 00:11:32,324
That's a good one, yes.
Or how to iron with wax paper.
191
00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:33,949
Maureen.
192
00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:37,018
This is a man's show.
We give man advice.
193
00:11:37,096 --> 00:11:40,463
How to pull a nail out of your foot.
194
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:43,661
What to do with a severed finger.
195
00:11:43,736 --> 00:11:45,829
Men don't wanna know about ironing.
196
00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:48,100
Well, Tim, a lot of men are single.
197
00:11:48,174 --> 00:11:51,610
Yes, they are. And wax paper
between the folds when you're ironing
198
00:11:51,677 --> 00:11:54,441
really does give you a nice pleat.
199
00:11:56,315 --> 00:12:00,411
Thank you, Al. l'll remember that
next time we do cross-dressing day.
200
00:12:01,487 --> 00:12:05,389
OK, well, l get the feeling we're simpatico.
Yes, no, maybe?
201
00:12:05,458 --> 00:12:07,653
We'll do the sheet rock installation.
202
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,787
No, we won't, Tim. Need l remind you?
203
00:12:11,263 --> 00:12:13,254
Producer! (laughs)
204
00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:15,862
(mocking her) Annoying!
205
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,627
- He is such a card.
- Yes, he is.
206
00:12:19,705 --> 00:12:22,333
And he needs to be dealt with.
207
00:12:26,712 --> 00:12:28,703
Are you two through?
208
00:12:28,781 --> 00:12:32,342
Ooh, l almost forgot. Jill called.
She needs you to pick up Randy.
209
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:35,353
She said something about
being up to her ears in compost. Toodles.
210
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:38,288
Oh! l never see that.
211
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,727
Now l gotta pick up Randy.
Jill was supposed to pick up Randy.
212
00:12:44,797 --> 00:12:48,563
l'm doing a lot more than my share
around the house these days.
213
00:12:48,634 --> 00:12:50,261
Well, Tim...
214
00:12:50,336 --> 00:12:53,499
marriage is all about compromise.
215
00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:57,838
Give and take.
Understanding each other and sharing.
216
00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:59,969
That was beautiful, Al.
217
00:13:00,045 --> 00:13:02,980
Wanna hold hands and sing ''Feelings''?
218
00:13:05,217 --> 00:13:08,050
l was just... l was just trying to help.
219
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,216
l don't need help on my marriage
from a guy who hasn't been married.
220
00:13:12,291 --> 00:13:14,486
You think l don't know
what it feels like to be married to you?
221
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,221
Huh?
222
00:13:17,263 --> 00:13:19,527
Sharing a workbench
for three long years,
223
00:13:19,598 --> 00:13:23,329
and never having you once
put the cap back on the epoxy.
224
00:13:24,436 --> 00:13:25,698
And don't think that
l haven't noticed
225
00:13:25,771 --> 00:13:29,298
that you squeeze the tube
from the middle instead of the end.
226
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:35,314
These are just some of the things
l have to take home with me every night.
227
00:13:35,381 --> 00:13:37,406
l don't think we should call your segment
''Bachelor Corner.''
228
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:41,146
We should call it
''The Alone and Desperate Corner.''
229
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:48,924
- l really appreciate this, Wilson.
- (Wilson) My pleasure, good neighbor.
230
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:52,691
Always happy to help out
with a molasses emergency.
231
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:55,666
Jill's working some extra hours,
l didn't have a chance to get to the store.
232
00:13:55,734 --> 00:13:58,294
(Wilson) Hm.
So you're running the house tonight, huh?
233
00:13:58,370 --> 00:14:00,201
l'm trying to,
but she's not making it any easier.
234
00:14:00,272 --> 00:14:03,105
Mm-hm. Mm-hm. (chuckles)
235
00:14:03,175 --> 00:14:07,168
She just can't stand to let me do things
the way l want to do them, all right?
236
00:14:07,246 --> 00:14:10,875
Because she just won't deal with the fact
that my ways may be different,
237
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:12,577
but they get the job done.
238
00:14:12,651 --> 00:14:17,145
Well, Tim, sometimes it's hard
for people to accept new ideas.
239
00:14:17,223 --> 00:14:18,850
Well, not me. Thank you.
240
00:14:18,924 --> 00:14:22,451
Well, you're a very special man,
quite like Galileo.
241
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:25,429
Yeah. Had his wine.
242
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:27,959
No, no, no, Tim.
243
00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:31,366
l'm talking about
the 1 7th-century ltalian astronomer.
244
00:14:31,437 --> 00:14:35,806
He was ridiculed for teaching
that the earth revolves around the sun.
245
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,708
And he believed that?
246
00:14:38,777 --> 00:14:42,008
Tim, the earth
does revolve around the sun.
247
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:47,679
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure, yeah, it does.
lt's just we're spinning so we don't notice it.
248
00:14:47,753 --> 00:14:50,051
- There you go, good neighbor.
- What happened to him?
249
00:14:50,122 --> 00:14:54,559
Well, he was threatened with torture
and forced to confess that he was wrong.
250
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:56,618
That's what Jill would like to do to me.
251
00:14:56,695 --> 00:14:59,027
But l'm not confessing anything
'cause l'm not doing anything wrong.
252
00:14:59,098 --> 00:15:01,225
- Tim, that's not the point of the story.
- l don't care.
253
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:03,461
l'm gonna keep doing things my way
because we're getting things done.
254
00:15:03,535 --> 00:15:05,594
- Thanks a lot, Wilson.
- Tim.
255
00:15:05,671 --> 00:15:07,161
Tim?
256
00:15:07,239 --> 00:15:09,764
Can we talk about compromise?
257
00:15:12,044 --> 00:15:14,069
What is the paint pan for?
258
00:15:14,146 --> 00:15:17,946
Well, l wanna make sure that the walls
of the truck-and-auto service centre
259
00:15:18,017 --> 00:15:20,679
are big enough to handle the big rigs.
260
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:25,122
- Mom never uses paint pans.
- Do l look like Mom?
261
00:15:25,557 --> 00:15:27,024
On occasion.
262
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:32,220
- ls the paint pan clean?
- Course it's clean.
263
00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:35,290
l scrubbed it out with turpentine.
264
00:15:36,535 --> 00:15:41,370
- Dad, that's never gonna fit in the oven.
- lt'll fit right in the oven. l already...
265
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,932
Just tip it a little bit
and it goes right in there.
266
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:48,345
Mom's gonna freak
when she sees the mess you're making.
267
00:15:48,414 --> 00:15:51,713
Don't worry about it.
This is a self-cleaning oven.
268
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,843
Dad, these walls won't stay up.
269
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:56,183
Would you guys cowork with me on this?
270
00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:59,816
That's why l got
the caulking compound over here.
271
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:02,156
You can't use caulk,
you have to be able to eat it.
272
00:16:02,227 --> 00:16:04,855
So? We don't have to worry about that.
We're just selling it.
273
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:06,955
Somebody else is eating it.
274
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:14,406
Maybe caulk would be a last resort.
Let's try to make the icing work.
275
00:16:14,473 --> 00:16:18,637
Go out to the garage.
Get me some ''C'' clamps and duct tape.
276
00:16:19,545 --> 00:16:21,137
You wrecked it. You wrecked it!
277
00:16:21,213 --> 00:16:22,976
That's what you get
fiddling around with the thing now.
278
00:16:23,048 --> 00:16:25,414
- lt was an accident.
- You did it on purpose.
279
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:28,282
- Get off me, you little flea.
- Come on, get up. Let him up.
280
00:16:28,354 --> 00:16:30,618
Dad, l can't find the ''C'' clamps.
281
00:16:30,689 --> 00:16:32,782
Whoa, something's burning.
282
00:16:35,561 --> 00:16:38,052
- Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!
- (Mark) Get off me!
283
00:16:38,130 --> 00:16:40,621
- Are you OK?
- Yeah. ''C'' clamps...
284
00:16:40,699 --> 00:16:43,827
- Help!
- What's going on in here?
285
00:16:43,902 --> 00:16:46,962
- Hey, hey, hey! Get off of him right now.
- He started it.
286
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:48,768
- He wrecked my gingerbread house.
- (Brad) Did not.
287
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:50,832
- Boys, just go upstairs.
- (Brad) Come on, Mom.
288
00:16:50,909 --> 00:16:52,308
Now!
289
00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:54,710
Boy, you're home early.
290
00:16:56,815 --> 00:16:59,784
- What is happening here?
- Oh, l spilled a little batter.
291
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:01,717
The oven was too hot,
l think, when l put it in there.
292
00:17:01,787 --> 00:17:03,618
- You used a paint pan?
- Yeah.
293
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:05,680
Trying to make those walls
big enough for the big rig to get in.
294
00:17:05,758 --> 00:17:06,816
Don't explain. Don't explain.
295
00:17:06,892 --> 00:17:09,793
We'll just scrape it out.
Maybe we can save some of the batter.
296
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:11,762
- Good, that's it, we'll save...
- Where's my old spatula?
297
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:14,390
- lt's right over here.
- lt doesn't go over here, it goes over here.
298
00:17:14,466 --> 00:17:16,366
Well, not when l'm doing the cooking.
That's where it goes.
299
00:17:16,435 --> 00:17:18,995
When you're home doing the cooking
you put it where you want it.
300
00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:21,733
When l'm home?
301
00:17:21,807 --> 00:17:24,275
- ls that what all this is about?
- What?
302
00:17:24,343 --> 00:17:27,073
So finally it comes out.
303
00:17:27,146 --> 00:17:30,240
- You don't want me to work.
- Because l moved the spatula?
304
00:17:30,315 --> 00:17:35,582
- You resent the fact that l am working.
- l do not.
305
00:17:35,654 --> 00:17:38,145
Then why don't you do one thing
the way that l ask you to do it?
306
00:17:38,223 --> 00:17:42,057
One?! l've done everything
on your stupid little list over here.
307
00:17:42,127 --> 00:17:44,994
You screwed up everything
on my stupid little list over there.
308
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:50,900
- l haven't screwed up everything.
- Name one thing you didn't screw up.
309
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:54,505
Well?
310
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:55,665
Laundry?
311
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:58,642
(Randy) Dad! The dryer's going crazy!
312
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:01,440
Hold on a minute, l'll handle this.
You just...
313
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:05,008
- Wow! This is great.
- Come on, get off of there, Randy.
314
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:08,349
- Get him off!
- Unplug it over there.
315
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:10,479
- You do it.
- Honey, it's just 220.
316
00:18:10,556 --> 00:18:12,615
Be careful. Aargh!
317
00:18:12,691 --> 00:18:14,886
Here, just stop the thing.
318
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,552
- Stop it.
- All right. All right. l got it.
319
00:18:16,628 --> 00:18:19,096
- OK, look. l'll get this rubber glove.
- All right. All right.
320
00:18:19,164 --> 00:18:21,029
- All right, l'm going...
- Please, honey...
321
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:23,295
- All right, all right.
- Honey, honey...
322
00:18:23,368 --> 00:18:25,427
l got it!
323
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:28,836
Wow!
324
00:18:28,907 --> 00:18:29,896
Cool!
325
00:18:29,975 --> 00:18:33,467
l have friends
who'd pay good money to ride this.
326
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:35,274
- Out.
- Oh, man.
327
00:18:35,347 --> 00:18:38,578
Everybody gets
to make money except for me.
328
00:18:40,219 --> 00:18:42,915
Look there, everything's all dry.
329
00:18:44,556 --> 00:18:48,219
Maybe this is just a sign
that l'm not supposed to be working.
330
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:51,228
- What do you mean by that?
- Well, we're fighting about spatulas,
331
00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:53,890
you're riding the dryer...
332
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:57,926
- l don't know that it's worth it.
- But you wanna work.
333
00:18:58,003 --> 00:19:01,404
Yeah, l wanna work, Tim.
But l also don't want the house to fall apart.
334
00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:03,236
l see.
335
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:08,041
lt's always like that.
l ride one appliance in the garage,
336
00:19:09,081 --> 00:19:12,414
and you get all bent out of shape.
337
00:19:12,484 --> 00:19:16,614
The house isn't gonna fall apart
if you're not here and l'm here.
338
00:19:16,688 --> 00:19:19,987
And, don't take this wrong,
but you don't have to work.
339
00:19:20,058 --> 00:19:22,754
l want to work. We got three kids
we gotta get through college.
340
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:26,855
- Or a good trade school.
- l like working.
341
00:19:26,932 --> 00:19:31,369
You know, and l'm good at it. l think that
l could move up. l might even be an editor.
342
00:19:31,436 --> 00:19:33,768
But the whole time that l'm working
l worry about what's going on at the house.
343
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,831
And when l'm at the house, l worry about
work. l just wish there were two of me.
344
00:19:36,909 --> 00:19:39,503
Can l sleep in the middle?
345
00:19:40,412 --> 00:19:44,348
Morning, Jill.
Hello there, Jill. Hey.
346
00:19:46,118 --> 00:19:50,782
Fine. lf you don't wanna talk about it,
then l'm just gonna figure it out by myself.
347
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:53,324
And that, my dear, is the problem.
348
00:19:53,392 --> 00:19:56,623
You wanna do everything by yourself.
There are two people.
349
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:58,219
The other person here is me.
350
00:19:58,297 --> 00:20:01,266
And you gotta learn how to let me
do some of the stuff the way l wanna do it.
351
00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:05,463
Like giving the boys lunch money?
Burning down the kitchen?
352
00:20:05,537 --> 00:20:09,200
- Riding the thing around the garage?
- Hold on. Back the truck up.
353
00:20:09,274 --> 00:20:11,242
Some of the things
went well today, you know.
354
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:15,246
Tim, look around you.
You practically wrecked the house.
355
00:20:15,314 --> 00:20:19,944
l'll have you know l wrecked this house
long before you ever got a job.
356
00:20:20,018 --> 00:20:22,543
And l'll be wrecking this house
long after you got a job.
357
00:20:22,621 --> 00:20:26,421
And the kids were dressed,
they had their breakfast, they got to school,
358
00:20:26,491 --> 00:20:28,721
they had their lunch
and they came home and they were safe.
359
00:20:28,794 --> 00:20:30,853
So maybe my way
wasn't that dangerous after all,
360
00:20:30,929 --> 00:20:34,524
and some of the things
did work, didn't they?
361
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,062
- Well, that washing machine...
- What about the washing machine?
362
00:20:38,136 --> 00:20:42,004
- That was pretty cool.
- (grunts) You liked that, huh?
363
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:45,134
- Yeah.
- (makes monkey noises)
364
00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:51,315
So, if this is gonna work,
365
00:20:51,383 --> 00:20:54,147
then l'm gonna have to
let go of some things.
366
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:58,212
And make sure
that the smoke detector is working.
367
00:20:59,758 --> 00:21:02,921
- We gotta put a battery in that thing.
- l think so.
368
00:21:02,995 --> 00:21:07,728
And if you're gonna come home early,
give me a phone call first.
369
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:09,767
Yeah, right.
370
00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:13,134
All right, well, as long as we're both here
together, why don't you help me clean up?
371
00:21:13,205 --> 00:21:18,643
Honey, l think this is the first time
that l'm going to let go of something.
372
00:21:22,547 --> 00:21:23,741
Whoa!
373
00:21:23,815 --> 00:21:26,010
That icing is really bad.
374
00:21:26,084 --> 00:21:28,814
- That's 'cause it's not icing.
- Huh?
375
00:21:28,887 --> 00:21:32,550
lt's polyvinyl acetate caulking compound.
376
00:21:34,393 --> 00:21:38,124
You just weatherproofed
your tongue, honey.
377
00:21:43,535 --> 00:21:45,594
( Tim) l'll sue!
378
00:21:47,172 --> 00:21:49,504
(makes engine sounds)
379
00:21:49,574 --> 00:21:52,407
No, no, no, no, no, no.
We got a piece of artwork here.
380
00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:53,671
lt's crooked.
381
00:21:53,745 --> 00:21:55,804
l designed it this way.
382
00:21:55,881 --> 00:22:01,148
This is a gingerbread truck-and-auto
service centre, after a major earthquake.
383
00:22:01,219 --> 00:22:03,983
Do you actually think
anybody's gonna buy this?
384
00:22:04,056 --> 00:22:06,524
Yes, l actually think
somebody's going to buy this.
385
00:22:06,591 --> 00:22:09,560
Tim, you can't charge $1 56.
386
00:22:09,628 --> 00:22:12,153
Why? That's what it cost.
387
00:22:12,664 --> 00:22:15,462
Boys, put on your coats
and mittens and stuff.
388
00:22:15,534 --> 00:22:17,468
Mark, are you ready?
389
00:22:17,536 --> 00:22:20,130
Has anybody seen
my good blue sweater?
390
00:22:20,205 --> 00:22:22,332
l did, it's in the...
391
00:22:22,407 --> 00:22:24,705
- What?
- l don't know.
392
00:22:24,776 --> 00:22:27,404
- Brad?
- Gee, l don't know.
393
00:22:27,479 --> 00:22:28,673
l'm ready.
394
00:22:28,747 --> 00:22:30,612
Mark, have you seen
my good blue sweater?
395
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:32,240
lt's in the dryer.
396
00:22:32,317 --> 00:22:34,410
Thanks, bigmouth.
397
00:22:35,287 --> 00:22:36,811
(Jill) Oh!
398
00:22:36,888 --> 00:22:39,220
Honey, are you OK?
399
00:22:42,594 --> 00:22:44,926
What is this?
400
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:53,065
Boys, put on your coats
and mittens and stuff.
401
00:22:53,138 --> 00:22:56,130
Randy? l mean...
What is your name?
402
00:22:59,010 --> 00:23:00,978
lt's Randy, Mom.
403
00:23:01,780 --> 00:23:05,648
Well, you are a very special man,
quite like Galileo.
404
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:06,877
Yeah.
405
00:23:06,952 --> 00:23:09,819
l love his wine.
406
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:11,185
No, no. No, Tim. No, no, no.
407
00:23:11,256 --> 00:23:15,454
No, l'm talking about
the 1 7th century ltalian astronomer.
408
00:23:15,527 --> 00:23:17,427
He was...
409
00:23:17,496 --> 00:23:19,896
a very fat man.
