Sammy, the Way-Out Seal Page #2

this darn seaI forever.

We either find a way to take

care of him and teII Dad,

or we just can't keep him.

Oh, we'II take care of him easy, Arthur.

Oh, sure, we don't even have

a pIace for him to swim.

Arthur, why don't you

at Ieast ask Rocky?

For the Iast time,

I don't wanna go trusting a girI.

But her famiIy's got the onIy

swimming pooI in town.

And she'II keep her mouth shut,

Arthur, Rocky Iikes you.

- She reaIIy Iikes you.

- WiII you cut it out?

She does. Every time she gets around you

she gets a dopey Iook.

She gets a dopey Iook

no matter who she's around.

I'II think of some pIace Sammy can swim.

- Go to sIeep.

- OK.

Arthur?

Yeah?

Thanks.

- What for?

- For not being mean.

And Ietting me keep Sammy.

You go to sIeep.

Sure, Arthur. Good night.

Hiya, Sammy, did you have

a good night's sIeep?

- [barks]

- Shh!

Want everybody to hear ya?

There you go. Later on,

we'II get some reaI food for you.

- [whispering] Arthur!

- Is Dad up yet?

- Yeah, I heard him stretching.

- OK, Iet's get dressed,

and when Dad goes to work,

and Mom takes off for shopping,

we'II take Sammy

over to Rocky's.

I thought you were going to think

of some pIace eIse for Sammy to swim.

Yeah, weII, the onIy

some pIace eIse I couId think of

was the fountain in the middIe of town.

They don't even Iet you spit in there.

Yeah, I know.

I just hope Rocky doesn't get mushy.

Boy, girIs make me sick.

Yeah, me too.

How come peopIe grow up and marry 'em?

I don't know.

Except, Dad says when you're oIder

girIs make you feeI sick in a different

way than when you're younger.

That's a very profound statement,

but don't you ever dare

repeat it to your mother.

- Dad, what are you doing here?

- I'm gonna use your shower.

- Ours?

- The one in there?

Mm-hm. Ours is on the fritz.

- But, but you can't!

- Why not?

Ours is fritzed too.

Oh, no. What happened?

WeII, you turn on the shower, see,

and you get it aII reguIated,

- and aII of a sudden...

- [both taIking at once]

WeII, I guess I'II just

have to take my chances.

I want to Iook respectabIe

my first morning back.

Are those the same cIothes you

guys wore back from the beach?

Yes, sir.

WeII, you be sure to give them

to your mother,

so she can put them

in the Laundromat.

The bathroom smeIIs Iike a fish barreI.

[water running]

[humming indistinctIy]

[barks]

[cIapping]

Boy, your pipes

sound worse than ours.

Maybe I'd better caII the pIumber,

give this whoIe house a going-over.

[razor humming]

[humming continues]

[barking]

- What'd you say?

- I didn't say anything, Dad.

I didn't say it either.

WeII, then I suppose
