I just want a chance

to be part of a family.

You are part of a family, think about it.

Oh, my God, Walter.

Okay, do me a favor, would you?

Keep an eye on this.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

-Light a match.

-See you when I get back.

Oh, Walter.

-What--?

-This is the line?

Oh, wait, you--

-I just--

-Oh, good morning.

-Do you smell something?

-Yeah, your--

No, something else.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

-Henry!

-Hold on, I'm in the zone.

Henry!

Oh, no.

-Fire!

-What? Fire?

Oh, Henry, quick.

Okay. Did anything happen?

That's grease!

Oh, my God. Quick.

See, we just didn't have enough money

to pay all our bills this month...

...so, you know, our property insurance

was one of those...

...and, you know, it's just--

It was one of those things.

-lt was a gamble.

-Do you think?

Okay, just let us know

when we have to have this thing done.

Yesterday, because

I'm shutting you down today.

-What?

-You-- There are at 30 city ordinances...

...which make it illegal to operate a

children's home without a working kitchen.

We don't need a kitchen. I mean,

you know? We could order takeout.

-The kids would love that, right?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Look, I'm sorry.

There's really nothing I can do.

If you have a problem with this,

you can take it up with my boss.

You know who my boss is, don't you?

I don't think you wanna mess with him.

Excuse me, Mum.

I understand you have a job to do...

...but this has been the first

and only real home I've ever had in my life.

Please, sir,

just give us one more chance.

Okay.

I'm gonna give you 10 days

to start reconstruction.

If you haven't started by then, they're

all going to be assigned to foster homes.

-Oh, my God. Thank you so much.

-Yes, thank you kindly, Mum.

And, kid, that is the worst accent

I have ever heard in my entire life.

-Gotcha.

-That is great. Good job. Good job.

Big place. Nice.

This is-- No.

I can do this.

What's up, big guy?

So, you know, long-time listener,

first-time caller.

Okay, so, you know, huge fan.

Love your work.

You know, all the planets and trees,

clouds, stars.

Great stuff.

Doughnut holes.

You probably also know...

...that it's been a long time

since I caught a break.

A really long time.

And....

Look, I know I've done some

questionable things in the past, yeah...

...and I don't deserve it...

...but I was just wondering

if you could do me a solid right now.

We are royally screwed.

And by royally, I mean full-on

Buckingham Palace, tea and crumpets...

...bad skin and crooked teeth screwed.

I'll do anything I can

to make this right, Sister.

How? How, Walter?

What? With a bake sale? A car wash?

You think you can raise 25 grand
