Hounded by hemorrhoids?

Then have a Relaxo fruit juice break.

And now back to

our regularly scheduled program.

I saved you some supper,

but you don't deserve it.

You're right. I don't deserve it.

Don't get smart with your mother.

- Sorry.

- What happened to you?

Nothing. I just had a little accident

in the lab. That's all.

I think this laboratory nonsense

has gotten out of hand.

You don't go out with girls.

When are you gonna ask

somebody to the prom?

When I find the right girl, Mom. Okay?

I have some homework to do.

- Should we?

- Let's leave it till tomorrow.

No. I think we should do it now.

Barney, your mother and I

are very concerned.

It's your attitude.

Not to mention your late hours

and loss of appetite.

Son, roll up your sleeves.

- Should we check between his toes?

- What's going on?

Your father and I went to a drug

education seminar at the school.

Are you a junkie, Son?

- Right, Dad.

- Don't talk to your father like that.

- What's the matter, Barney?

- Nothing's the matter.

All right.

We'll discuss it further in the morning.

And I expect a little more cooperation

around here.

You can start by cleaning up this pigpen.

- How dare you?

- I didn't do it.

Alvy did it.

And I suppose that dummy

taught him how to do it.

- Hey, Barn.

- Hi.

- How you doing?

- Okay.

- How's the hooch?

- The hooch?

- Yeah, you know...

- It's...

Hey, Barney, how about that interview?

Bernadette, we're on our way

to class now.

You should be, too.

Barney, how responsible

do you think scientists are

for the mess the world is in today?

And do you think they can get us out of it?

Yeah.

Well, scientists have to bear

some responsibility for the mess.

But I also think they're our best hope

for cleaning it up.

A pat answer, but I'll take it.

What are you planning on doing

with those orchids?

Well, I really don't know yet.

What do you plan to specialize in

at college?

Botany. Research, that is.

There's a lot of money to be made there.

Is that your goal, Barney?

To make money?

- I guess that'd be part of it.

- That's enough for now, Bernadette.

I'm not interviewing you.

I agree. I think that's enough for now.

You gotta watch her, Barn. She's nosey.

She sure is pushy.

- Hi, Bernadette.

- Hi, Jane. How you doing?

- Did you do your homework?

- Yeah.

- Can I copy?

- Again?

Sure.

Good afternoon, class.

I'm so happy to inform you

that we have a very special visitor today.

Our esteemed principal,

Mr. Walter Coolidge.

Hey, Coolidge, you shave with an ax?

Yes, sir. You can sit here at my desk, sir.

Thank you, Miss Burnhart.

It's a pleasure to be here.

And...

And now we'll continue
