I want all you monkeys to be on time

'cause I'm not missing

that f***ing flight.

You got that right.

I'd like for us to take

a moment to thank our chief

for getting us out

of this shithole early...

with a bonus on top of it!

Let's hear it for Al Fountain.

Let's hear it!

Come on.

All right.

I'd like to make a suggestion

based on experience,

some of you guys might...

Hyah!

Take that!

Hello.

Hi, Deb. It's Al.

Hey. Mr. Clockwork.

- What?

- Hyah!

Well, it's 9:
00 on the button.

I could almost set my watch by you.

Well, didn't we say

I would call at 9:00?

It's a joke, Al.

Oh ho ho!

I see.

Yeah, now I get it.

Listen, deb, I can't talk too long,

But I just wanted to let you know

that we're still on schedule,

and I'll be seeing you

in exactly 6 days.

Hyah!

What are you doing this weekend?

Oh, I don't know.

Some of the guys

asked me to go fishing.

I might go with them.

That's great!

See, I told you they liked you.

Did you play poker last night?

Yes, and it was a lot of fun.

So... that's it, really.

I'll call you the day after tomorrow.

Wait. don't you want

to speak to Bobby?

No.

I mean, yes.

I'm practically out the door here.

Did you get him the flashcards?

I did, Al.

Good. very good.

Well, good-bye, Deb.

Your father says good night.

Listen, uh, Doris,

I'm looking for a lake

called Splashy Lake.

Never heard of it.

Really?

Well, I went there as a kid.

It was more of

an amusement type of lake.

Paddle boats,

picnic tables, big slide.

Slide?

Yeah. This big slide

that you had to swim out to.

You'd go down this thing,

and it would send

you flying 10, 15 feet

out into the middle of the lake.

It was incredible... really.

There's a swimming pool

over in Neeterboro.

They've got a slide.

Oh. Ok.

Well, thank you, Doris.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

What the hell is this?

"Eddie's mix."

Mix of what?

Just a little drive, that's all.

I'm taking a drive down the road.

Life is a drive...

down the road.

Al Fountain...

Saturday,

June 30th...

Here I come!

I'm gonna get you!

Mom! Mom!

Jackie's trying to spit on me!

Jackie, stop it right now.

Leave your sister alone.

Ok, mom.

I'm just gonna tickle her.

Come here, Candy.

No! Stop! Mom, he's still doing it.

Jackie,

If I have to get your father,

You won't eat tonight.

Come on!

Jackie!

Jackie, I'm going

to wake up your father.

Is that what you want?

Have you ever heard of a place

called splashy lake?

No, but there's a Splatchee Lake

Oh, how do you spell that?

S-p-l-a-t-c-h- double e.

C-h-double e.

Splatchee, not splashy.

Is there paddle boats,

picnic tables... A big slide?

Oh, yeah. Lots of amusements.
