Gee, it's good to see you!
Hey, you'll catch your death of cold.
Go on, get in there.
- Gosh, you're looking well, Ma.
- Oh, so are you, George.
Well, I got a little cold, but I'm all right.
I think you look better
than you did five or six months ago.
You looked a little peaked then,
I thought.
- I see the others got here before me.
- Yes. Your pa's waitin' for you, though.
What do you mean, Ma?
Say, what is this gathering of the clan?
- Well, I'd rather Pa told you.
- Hm-hm.
- How's Anita and the baby?
- Oh, they're just fine.
Only Rhoda isn't a baby any more.
She's thinking of going to college.
Oh! Oh, Pa, here's George.
Well, there's a familiar sight,
Pa in the same old chair.
- Hello, George.
- Don't get up, don't get up.
Gee, it's good to see you, Pa.
Gosh, I haven't seen you since...
Well, it's been too long, anyway.
I don't know. We plan, we plan...
- Hello, Nellie.
- Hello, George.
As for you, you know,
I don't know when I saw you last.
Oh, I forgot. I can't kiss you, Cora.
I shouldn't have kissed you either.
M is for the million things
She gave me.
O means only that she's growing old.
Oh, yes, T is for the tears
She shed to save me
H is for her heart of purest gold...
Hello, folks.
E is for her eyes with love light shining
R means right, and right she'll always be
Always be
Put them all together
They spell Mother
A word that means the world to...
Rurr-bink-a-dam
Ba-dam-dam, bang-bang!
- Mother.
- Robert.
- Here you are, Mother.
- No, dear.
That don't go
with standing over a hot stove.
OK, it'll just be two for me.
How about you, George?
You're still the best-looking one
in the family, Robert.
Yeah? The day I was born,
Pop took one look at me and said,
"That did it. No more Coopers!"
Cora?
Here you are, Nellie.
Oh! I got somethin' on you, Nellie.
- Here ya are, Pa.
- Thanks.
Try that on your ulcer.
Wait a minute, now. Nobody drink.
I always make it a point
to drink to somethin'.
Let's see. Now, let me think.
Don't think too hard, Robert.
You might hurt yourself.
- Oh...
- Why, Pa!
Let's see now, uh...
Here's to our house,
through sunshine or showers,
be it ever so humble, by golly, it's ours.
- Good, huh, Pop?
- Yeah.
Ah, it's all right.
Only the last line don't make sense.
- Does it, Ma?
- No.
- You see, the house...
- Don't tell 'em now, Bark.
- Wait till after dinner.
- What is it?
Why not now?
That's why we got 'em down here.
You see, the house isn't ours any more.
- The bank is taking it over.
- The bank?
- You mean you've lost it?
- Oh, that's awful!
- Bank? Well, there's a bank for you!
- What happened, Father?
Well, as you know,
I haven't been working for, uh...
Well, it's almost four years now.
- That's right, ain't it, Ma? Four years?
- Four years, 5th June, Pa.
And with everything going out
I couldn't keep up the payments.
So long as I never sent them anything,
they sent for me.
The head of the bank, Randy Dunlap,
asked me to drop in to his house
for a little chat.
You remember him? Randy Dunlap?
He used to keep company with your mother
before I cut him out.
Bark!
So, I dropped in
and he asked me to sit down.
George, do you know what he was wearing?
A kimono.
- No!
- Yeah.
Oh, now, Bark.
It must have been a dressing gown.
I know a dressing gown when I see it.
It was a kimono, George.
Well, he asked me to sit down.
Then he offered me a cigar.
- Do dressing gowns have... flowers on 'em?
- Oh, Bark!
- Never mind that, Father. What did he say?
