We're in this together, OK?

I appreciate that. Thanks.

Absolutely.

Imagine how hard

things would be...

if the job got shaky.

What do you mean?

Did someone say something?

- Absolutely not.

- Sid, tell me.

Once. Maybe a couple times.

It's always said

very affectionately...

at least to me.

I say the old Manny Singer's

going to be back.

They say when?

And I say any day now.

They say great.

It'll be your job, too.

It's all very positive feedback.

Sunglasses

Yeah, we bought some sunglasses

'Cause sunglasses

Protect our eyes from the sun

You look good.

Sunglasses

Anybody want some more?

Anybody want any?

No, no, no. It's good.

Just a little more spice

than we're used to.

It was just

to bring out the flavor.

It's good.

It's just, you know, a little...

Spicy. Yeah.

Ya-da da da da da

You can make him funny

Or you can make him sunny

He's Mr. Potato Head

Oh, yes, it's true he's lumpy

OK, he's kind of dumpy

He's not a French fry

He's the potato to buy

Did you like it?

You think my boss

is going to like it?

Maybe the iambic pentameter's

off just a bit.

Yes, it's true he's lumpy

OK, he's kind of dumpy

Now, you thought

that was clunky, didn't you?

Just knew we were in sync.

lambic pentameter.

Where do you want it?

Sorry. I think you have

the wrong address.

Why don't I just talk

to Mrs. Singer?

She's, um...

She's in the bathtub right now.

I bet if you're on

the inside of a maraca...

that's what it would sound like.

Excuse me, but I'm ticklish.

Stop that!

Oh, wait.

I hate to impose...

but could you give me

a little help?

I can't do this last one

on my own.

Ah! You know,

the first time I saw you...

I knew you had this magic.

Here's another one.

Give me a hand.

Well done.

I think your dad's

really going to like...

this present you picked out.

We have to emphasize

that you picked it out yourself.

Hey, Molly, it's time to eat.

Come on, and bring Lois.

Would you like to be

queen for a day?

What do you listen

to this garbage for?

Why are you watching this?

Queen for a day.

I knew a guy in my neighborhood,

wanted to be queen for a day.

You know what happened to him?

Her husband was killed

in the Air Force.

She has three children.

She'd like a trained dog

to ease her mind.

My husband's gone, too.

That doesn't make me a queen,

does it?

Ladies and gentlemen...

we've heard

from all of our contestants.

Is it going to be Lois?

Numberfive! Queen for a day!

Yes! Yes, Lois! Queen Lois!

All I askedfor was a dog...

and look what I'm getting.

I want to thank

everyone out there...

everyone

who made this possible...

Lois made a sissy on the couch.

You know what I think, Molly?
