- Gene.!

- Get the dog out.!

- Leave the dog alone.!

- Stupid -

The dog stays out.

The dog drives me out of my mind.

- Where you going, Gene?

- Out of here.

This is the third night this week, Gene!

Why don't you start smoking again?

[Marian Whispering]

How about Friday?

Are you free this weekend?

I don't get back till Saturday, but if you

make it Sunday, I'll bring fresh trout.

[Scoffs]

[Whispering]

Marian, why did you do that?

- What?

- Invite them to our house for supper?

I didn't. You did.

- No, I didn't.

- You said, "Let's set a date."

I had to say "Let's set a date"

because you invited 'em to our house.

That was just a comment, Ralph.

What's his name again?

He's some kind of a doctor.

I think he's a dentist.

Her name is Marian.

- Marian, we don't even know them.

- Just relax.

Okay? Just... relax.

Any of those medflies

get on you today?

Ow! I got one.

Do you want me

to describe myself for you?

- I'm a blonde.

- [Baby Whines]

- - .

[Boy]

You don't do that.

- What do you do?

- [Woman] Oh, yeah?

[TV:
Commentator Continues]

These countries ship their food -

Oh, yeah?

But I'm not gonna suck it yet.

[Man]

Let's go play in your room.

Let's go.

[Commentator]

What if all this is telling us...

that every expert-

before every expert-

[Woman] Can you speak up, honey?

I can barely hear you.

- Yeah, baby. Ooh.

- [Baby Whines]

My panties are getting a little wet.

Well, I'm on my bed,

and I'm on my hands and knees...

and my mouth

is so close to your balls.

[Sighs]
