l said, `"$150,000 sounds|like a good neighborhood to me.`"

You really said that?

This is a business.|What am l gonna do with $25,000?

Advertising, signs, but l`m optimistic.

Look behind the bathroom door.

-Daddy?|-What?

He wants you to scratch his head.

You know, l don`t wanna scratch his head.

But he wants you to.

Sometimes we don`t get what we want.|That`s not how it works.

Honey, don`t talk like that|in front of the kids.

lf l can just get them to smell the stuff.|Air fresheners are visceral products--

-l got a great idea.|-What?

Can l have karate lessons?

l didn`t get any bacon.|What do you want karate lessons for?

Brenda`s littler than me,|and she`s got a green belt.

Why don`t we skip the lessons|and get you the belt?

No! Come on!

He slimed me! He slobbed! Look at this!

Don`t worry about it.

l have to change my belt, shoes and socks.

Just change your pants, George.

l don`t need you to drool all over me,|for God sakes!

You`re so smart!|What am l telling you about?

Listen to me!

Bye, honey.

Sorry. Good luck.

A little Kleenex or something.

Hi, puppy.

Thirsty, huh?

Easy, buddy. Save some for the fishes.

Look at Tom. He`s wide open. Shoot it!

Put it up. Put it up!

-This guy`s all over me.|-Shoot it.

Yeah!

All right, that`s it. Hit the showers.

Give me 10. Let`s go, hustle.

Hi, Mark.

-You`re sweaty.|-You like it?

Air fresheners are the 12th fastest-growing|area in household hygiene.

Fascinating!

All of these use a two-dip process|that guarantees a longer smell life.

Smell this. That smell nice?

lf we get the right amount of capital,|we can take this place to the top.
