hell it was talking about.

The schlizzle is

in the hunschdizzle.

And then I realized

hunschdizzle meant dog dish.

So I looked down

in the dog dish

and there was the key.

So I figured it out.

The schlizzle is in the

hunschdizzle is the key

is in the dog dish.

Dad?

So I understand you

put in a new oil tank.

It's in the basement.

The old one was outside.

I'm amazed they were able to

get the thing down the stairs.

What did it cost you?

Too much.

You have to

do it, right?

By the way, I noticed

while we were driving up

looks like it can really

use some new paint.

I got a guy who's

cheaper than the Mexicans

and he cuts the lawn.

Wow, cheaper

than the Mexicans.

I'm not being racist,

I'm being realistic.

So how's the

movie business?

That's, uh,

not so realistic.

It's very different than

I thought it was going to be.

I mean, it's all about

the small screen now,

you know, downloads and

all that kind of thing.

Well, how did the movie

about the clown do?

Not so well.

People didn't find it funny.

I thought that

was the point.

You're right,

that was the point,

but when people download

something about a clown,

they have a

certain expectation

it's going to

be hilarious.

It was during

prohibition

and my father was making

wine in the cellar.

So a cop

was walking by

and he saw this large

amount of grapes.

Walked to my

father and said,

hey, Bub, what are

all those grapes for?

My father pointed to me

and my brother and he said,

my kids love them.

And he believed it.

Because it was true.

I mean, you still do

love the grapes, right?

But I guess it was also

a lie at the same time.

So what?

That's show business.

Bob, sometimes you remind

me of Yogi Berra, you know.

Someone once asked him

what time it was and he said,

you mean now?

You know, I saw your

old tennis playing buddy

Steven the other day.

Still plays very well.

F*** him.

Dad, don't you think

it would be better

if you got some kind

of regular exercise?

I mean, you know,

therapeutic exercise?

All that stuff would be...

would be so easy.

Oh, is it time

for our vodka?

Vodka!

Not yet.

Put her on the couch.

Okay.

Okay, Susan.

She can stand.

Hold me.

Okay.

Stand Susan.

Susan, stand.

Okay.

Let her walk.

Okay.

- One step.

- She can walk.

No Fred, she cannot.

I got her.

I got her.

- Put her on the couch.

- Okay.

I got you mom.

Slow.

Okay, okay, great.

You look good mom.

Oh yes.

Yeah.

I'm alive.

Well, that's...

that's good!

Listen, umm,

do you remember when you

went to Goucher College,

remember how you used to

live in a dorm there?

Well, that's what it's

going to be like again.

You're going to be
