Meanwhile, Handy Harrison is a local hardware store owner with a girlfriend ready to throw in the towel on their relationship.

It's been a pleasure speaking with you,

Mrs. Cole.

- We'll call you back.

- Yeah, you too.

Try to talk some sense into him.

- Seven million.

- It's a negotiation.

You've handled dictators.

You've handled terrorists.

Terrorists were easier. I swear to God.

Breathe.

Let the lawyers handle it. Breathe.

Oh. I can...

Oh, Grace, you're a miracle.

Oh. Sorry.

No, no, no. Come on in.

Can I help you?

Yeah... Well, I don't mean to

disturb you. I'm all done in here.

I mean, I'm done fixing it.

That flushing you heard,

that's work-related, not personal.

Hey, we're done.

What...? Plunger!

Plunger! Plunger, stop it!

Come here!

What are you doing, huh?

Hey, you trying to get us both shot?

How many times do I got to tell you?

Keep that thing in your... body.

Bad dog.

You let him do that in front of you?

I don't have cable, man.

Come on, boy. Come on.

Get them, get them.

Sally?

Spit it up, froggy. Thank you.

Sally? You stay off her couch, Plunger.

Sally? Sally? Hey, you up here?

- Guess what?

- Downstairs.

Guess what came?

Jane Ellen's delivering.

- Already? Wow. How's she doing?

- Here comes another one.

She's up to sextuplets.

Sextuplets?

Seven, right? Six. Seven!

No, six, six.

Chester.

Aw, you did it, boy.

Oh, boy. Oh, look at those paws.

It's going to be giant.

I know.

Hey, so guess who I saw today?

- Who?

- Take a guess.

- Handy.

- Come on.

- Take one guess.

- The president.

Oh, that's right because everybody

knows he's here.

But not everybody gets a check

for 17,000 big ones.

- Really?

- Seventeen thousand.

Man, you know what? I just...

I think I'm finally ready.

Where were those towels?

You're ready?

Yeah. Yeah.

- Ready to...?

- To get the new truck.

The big one. No more three trips to

the lumberyard for me. It'll be great.

Dina, false alarm!

I'll take him.

I'm not sensing any enthusiasm.

I'm thrilled about your

new truck. Really.

You know what?

Tonight, after the party thing...

...let's do something to celebrate.

Let's just go out, me and you.

A little romantic dinner.

- Sure.

- Yeah, it'll be great.

Okay. All right.

Dina, say hi to Fred and the kids.

All right. See you later.

Plunger, let's go.

Well, he needs a new truck so he can

load all that crap that he's full of.

There he is!

You look great, sir!

Glad you're here, sir.

- Good to see you, sir.

- Over here.

Right here, Mr. President!

We're happy to have you here, sir!

- Here we are.

- Martha, those look good.

Morris! Morris!

- What?

- He's here.

Al, "Hail to the Chief".

"Hail to the Chief"!

- Fifteen minutes.

- An hour.

- Thirty.

- Forty-five and it's a deal.

Sorry.

Good evening.

I'd like to thank everybody for coming.
