Why not empty the U-Haul tomorrow?

No, I'm putting all my suffering into

one day. I don't mind unloading bags.

- I just don't want to do it for a living.

- It's still early.

I'll go to the grocery store. When you've

finished, take the kids swimming.

Swimming?

Gee, I forgot my bathing suit!

Guess I can't go in the water all summer.

Jack, nobody cares what you look like

in a bathing suit.

That's just it.

- I'll pick one up.

- I won't wear it.

- Not until I lose three or four pounds.

- I love the way you look in a bathing suit.

My mother was right. You're twisted.

- What are you looking at?

- Nothing, Dad.

Me neither.

- We want to go in.

- Good idea.

- You guys go for a swim.

- Aren't you coming?

No, I'll watch.

I don't want to get too wet my first day.

- All right. Can you hold these for me?

- Yeah, sure.

There you go.

This thing must be pretty good for $80.

How do you shut it off? Equaliser...

Loud, eh?

Hi. Jack Chester, I'm your neighbour.

And you're?

Having lunch.

Looks good.

Just enjoy. I don't want to bother you.

I'll join you later for Martinis.

Kidding.

Just watching my kids.

I'll be here.

Enjoy.

- Don't worry, it's dead.

- Bobby, I told you not to do that.

Dad, she told me to do it!

- Enough! Just get it out of here.

- Dad, you're kind of red.

Good.

I wanted to get a little colour, you know.

That's a good base.

That's a good base.

You got to do these things in stages.

- Let me put this on.

- Does it look that bad?

Your nose would show up on satellite.

Want me to drive?

I'm OK, as long as

I don't have to make many turns.

Where are we going? I'm starving.

- A place called the Yachthouse.

- It has fresh seafood.

- Let's talk lobster.

- Lobster!

- Would that be a three pounder?

- Three pounds, one quarter.

- Perfect.

- Yours is the next table.

Sorry. Excuse me. You're next.

I'm not next. I was just...

I'm next way down the line. I was just

checking out my dinner... Sorry.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Pardon. Pardon. Sorry.

- Excuse me.

- How does it look?

- A while yet. I got mints and toothpicks.

- Can I take some home for Archie?

The same guy's in all the pictures.

Captain Al Pellet.

- He's won seven years straight.

- Guess he's good.

- Wow, they're big!

- Excuse me, sir, how much longer?

Yours should be the very next table.

- Great.

- I'm starving.

- So am I.

- It's been hours since we ate.

Excuse me, little lady.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Mr Pellet! How were your winds today?

- Blowing.

- Did you have a nice sail?

- Fine.

There'll be five of us tonight.

Would you part the waves

and let my party through, please?

It's OK, it's OK!

Excuse me, weren't we next?
