the son of a wealthy string magnate!
Not now, when I am married to the
owner...of a worthless death-trap!
I thought you'd be happy!
April, I've got new ideas.
You know, I've got big plans!
Don't you see, Lars?
That's all you've ever had are plans.
But my life is passing me by,
and l...l need more!
There's no air in the middle class,
Lars. I can't breathe here.
Please, April, don't go.
I'm not going anywhere.
(TV) 'ln a few moments, the joy
of the holidays was shattered...
'and the world changed
for many people.
'Mayor McKrinkle died at 4:30pm,
'at Our Lady of Sorrows Hospital.
'Doctors say
'heart failure due to
the mayor's culinary disaster.
'And once the hottest restaurant...
'Chez Ernie is scheduled
for demolition.'
I-l don't think I ordered
my cheese sandwich with capers.
- 'We go live to Leslie Reinhart.'
- Sorry.
'lf this tragedy has a villain
it is Ernie Smuntz.
- 'Once a local...'
- Ernie, you're on TV!
What? Oh.
You know what this is? I'll tell ya.
- Guilt by accusation.
- No capers.
But that's just grilled cheese.
What's the point?
Why don't they eat out of a trough?
Which one of you palateless sheep
sent my sandwich back?
Hi, Ernie!
Lars?
(Ernie) When I'm in the kitchen,
I cook.
I can't control everything in there.
(Lars) You know,
it isn't fair to blame you.
- You didn't do anything wrong.
- But society likes to persecute.
A scapegoat, someone to demonise.
The same thing happened to Galileo.
Really? That's unbelievable.
With a cockroach and everything?
No. The point is, I put everything
into that restaurant.
It was my livelihood and my home.
In one fatal bite,
it was all taken away from me.
If only we could sell the factory.
I'd let you stay with me, you know,
- Oh, that's too bad.
- Yeah, well, don't worry about me.
April's been like this
since high school.
- She'll be back. I...
- Would you look at them?
Sleeping in the street. Pitiful.
If I had a house, I'd sleep in it!
- Remember how close we were as kids?
- No.
Hey! Merry Christmas!
Yeah, I was on top once too.
But there's only one way to go from
there, and that's down, baby, down!
Oh!
Ernie.
Ernie! Ernie, there was
a quarter in there.
A quarter? You think so small, Lars.
Look at the bigger picture.
You have no home, no wife, no money.
You have no discernible talents.
How can you ignore that?
Ernie, it's Christmas.
Instead of dwelling on what we lack,
let's be thankful for what we have.
# lf only in my dreams #
(Ernie) What a dump.
Wow! I can't believe Pops

It's huge.
(Ernie) This is
