of this conversation.

I want you to stop spying on

the Klopeks with Ricky Butler.

And I'd like you to stop filling his

head with such half-cocked theories.

- Where you goin'?

- I'm gonna change into my vacation togs.

Are you done with your eggs?

I'm gonna mix the zinnias in

with the rest of the flowers.

The man at the nursery said...

- Boy, that really burns my ass.

- What?

[Rumsfield] That old fart. He's

got the best lawn on the block.

And you know why?

Because he trains his

dog to crap in my yard.

- [Rock Blaring]

- Hey, Mrs Rumsfield.

No tan lines this morning.

Looks nice.

- [Continues]

- That kid next door is a meatball.

[Rumsfield Sighs] Peterson.

He came out in his robe last night when

the foreigners were making that racket.

He didn't do one thing.

- [Continues]

- So, what are you gonna do first?

I don't know.

- Hey, did I show you my new tools?

- No.

These are great. [Clears Throat]

Carol's father gave

them to me for Christmas.

[Grunts] Huh?

- Look.

- Oh, those are beauties.

- You gonna build something with those?

- I think so.

Probably.

Hey, what time does the ball game go on?

I think it's at about 1:00.

You want to go down to the deli and

get one of those beef sandwiches?

No. I'm thinking of getting one of

those electric garage door openers...

- [Door Creaking]

- And installing it.

[Creaking Continues]

- [Crow Cawing, Insects Buzzing]

- [Door Shuts]

[Softly] Ray. Ray!

Ray, come here.

What is it?

It's my neighbour.

Hey, one of the Huns

came out of the cave.

Why don't you go say hi?

Well, yeah, I guess I could.

This would be the perfect time.

If you go talk to him, we

could see what he's like. Go.

[Ray] You could say hi to him too.

- But he's your neighbour.

- No, he's your neighbour as well.

But you share a property line with him.

We're all on the same

block, so you could go too.

We're all in the same town,

but you're next to him.

If he was gonna borrow anything,

he'd come over to your place.

Well, he's busy now.

He's not busy. Now he's

goin' in. Go now because if...

He's going back in. If you were

gonna say hi, you should probably...

He's going into the house.

You're gonna lose him.

He's gonna go in...

- Now you've blown it, haven't you?

- No, I didn't blow it.

- Chicken. Chicken. [Clucking]

- He went into his house.

I'm not chicken because

he went into his house.

You look like a chicken in front of

your son and everything. Your son.

- [Engine Revving]

- Come on.

- If it's suddenly a big deal, let's just go say hello.

- Hey, hey, it's a joke!

- Let's say hello.

- Why so edgy?

- Come on, come on.

- Try decaf.

They're daring each other

to ring the doorbell.
