I... I really like

the advertising world.

And, uh, I was just wondering

if it was possible for you to...

to help me come up with

some advertising slogans

for the hospital for, you know,

next week or...

You deserve a break today.

Right.

OK.

Oh, hello.

Who's he?

Uh, Adan.

Adan, Meghan.

Meghan, Adan.

Hi.

Bye.

- You're being very rude,

Meghan.

You're right. I am.

Let me show you

to your room.

Some things from... things

from the lost and found

at the hospital, they donate.

This is a...

Um...

Really?

Adan.

- Surprise. You're on a mountain peak where I

play those sweet sha-la-las you love to hear.

Firework colours turn our world

upside down. I hope you like water,

because we're neck deep in the sweet

waters of friendship and trust.

You see...

- Oh.

- ...when you're a man who smells like the

fresh scents of Old Spice, you can go anywhere.

Unless, of course, you prefer

to stay in.

- Yeah, commercials are

really great, huh?

- The length you go to

for pleasure.

I brought you a shirt.

- ...it's like they know it's

only a matter of time.

Time...

the only thing between them

and opposable thumbs.

Imagine that. Cats...

with thumbs.

And what if they got together?

Gangs of cats with thumbs!

And organi...

Come on.

- # Eat this, eat that

# This one's good,

this one's bad #

- Knock. Knock.

- What?

- Are we really going to keep

doing this dance? Huh?

Because I don't

like it. It's not fun.

I beg to differ.

OK. Um, well,

it's, uh, totally cool

to treat me this way and to act

like that, but it's

not really cool

to behave like that

with other people.

And the thing is,

you know it.

- Who is he, anyway?

- He's an old friend.

He's waiting for a spot

at Garden Meadows.

What?!

And you brought him here?

Are you insane?!

Maybe.

Give me that!

- Get your own box.

- Give it to me!

- You can learn a lot

from a dummy. Buckle up.

Meghan. Meghan.

Hey. Meghan, stop it.

- Let it go!

- You know how men are about

holding the remote control.

Let him have it.

- It's our TV!

- What are you, four years old?

And if so, he was here first.

- Bizzario here is watching

commercials!

My show is on!

- He is a guest

in our home!

- I can't believe you'd bring

one of your charity cases

into our house without

telling me first! - He needed help.

- So what?

We're the neighbourhood

kennel for psychos?

- He's not a psycho. He just needs a place

to stay for a few days

until he finds a spot

at Garden Meadows.

- Mothers are supposed

to tell their daughters about

bringing home crazies

before actually doing it!

- Why let those strands of hair

turn grey?

- I started dyeing my hair

the day she turned 13.
