Dad Page #5

You know what I think?

I think we owe

ourselves a reward.

What do you mean?

We should go out

and have a good time.

What do you say?

Okay.

Okay.

What do you and Mom

do around here for fun?

"I" 20.

"I" two-zero.

"0" 75.

Seven-five.

"B" 11.

"B" one-one.

Right there on top, okay?

"G" 58.

"G" five-eight.

Enjoying yourself, Johnny?

Having a good time?

You kidding me?

I love this.

I do it all the time at home.

Do they have air conditioning

in here, Dad?

Or a fan or something?

"I" 22...

Choo-choo!

I love when they do that.

They do that all the time?

"B" 4.

And after!

Boy, this really is too

much fun for one evening.

"I" 19.

Bingo!

Bingo!

Jake Tremont, is that you?

Hal McCarthy.

How are you?

You remember Gloria?

My son, John.

He's visiting from New York.

How do you do?

Bette here?

No, she's in the hospital.

No, it's okay.

She had a heart attack,

but she's doing fine.

Coming back strong.

That's the part

that's good to know.

Please give her our best.

We will.

Thank you.

You heard about

Nick Price, right?

He's dead.

Oh, yeah.

Nick, Robin, Dorothy, the twins.

That whole table.

Dead.

All of them.

All of them.

The whole table.

And Delores Patcher

from the table next to them.

Gone.

Dead.

Well, good seeing you again.

It's been a while.

A long time.

Nice to meet you.

Boy, they're

a breath of fresh air.

Don't mind them, John.

They're crepe-hangers.

Know their bingo, though.

You used to come

here a lot, huh, Dad?

Oh, at least once a week.

It was fun.

When was the last

time you played?

Must be three years.

You're kidding.

Why did you stop coming?

I don't know.

Your mother and I

used to enjoy having fun

as much as anybody, but...

We just stopped doing

the things we liked.

I don't know why.

Well, you should remember

the fun things

you used to do and you

should start doing them.

That's a good idea.

John, I'm going

to write that down.

I'll make a list of fun

things and I'll do them.

Yes, sir.

Bingo.

What?

I think you got bingo.

Hey, I got bingo!

Over here! I have bingo!

We were awesome tonight, Dad.

We won the "X," the "L"

and we were this

close to getting

the four corners. That would

have been the triple crown.

I'm worried about you, John.

I'm afraid you're

getting addicted.

You know, there's a bingo

game down in Palm Springs

somebody told me about.

Run by the Indians.

Big stakes.

We ought to check that out.

We should be able to win,

and win regularly at this game.

I got a computer guy in New

York I'm gonna put onto this.

Fabulous with numbers.

He'll come up with

a system for us.

You'll see.

We're gonna beat

these guys, Dad.
