Mixed Nuts Page #5

come over, please. I can't.

Please, Stanley? She can't spend

Christmas in an elevator.

In a couple of hours. Thank you.

Hello. Lifesavers.

Catherine. Oh, hi, Gracie.

Finally, you're off the phone.

Don't you ever stop yakking?

We're supposed to talk on the phone.

That's why we're here.

Yes. Right. Is something wrong?

You've got to let me spend

the night at your place.

Felix is acting

totally irrational.

He ran off in my Santa suit,

which I could have sold today.

What?

It's not the fuse box. Of

course it's not the fuse box!

It is a short inside.

I saw an electrician

fix it last week.

All you need is a screwdriver,

and I will tell you what to do.

I think there's one

in the earthquake kit.

Catherine!

Hold on a second, Gracie!

What is it, Philip?

Would you get the screwdriver

out of the earthquake kit? Oh.

Wait, wait, wait! Do you really

think we ought to use it?

Suppose we take it out and forget to put

it back and then the big one comes?

There's a law that all

businesses, even nonprofit,

have to have complete earthquake kits.

Get it!

I'll get it!

Come here first, and I'll

take you over to Mother's.

She'll be terrified

if you ring the bell.

Why? Is she gonna think

I'm the Seaside Strangler?

She is a little nervous. Does she

fit the descriptions of the victims?

Uh, not really. For me?

Then why is she carrying on?

Uh-oh. There he is. Gracie?

I'm never speaking to him

again, even if he begs me.

- Gracie? Gracie?

- Gracie! Yoo-hoo!

Gracie!

Honey, come on! Come home.

Come back to me.

I'll get a regular job. You had a regular

job making pizza and you messed it up.

The manager hated me. You

never showed up on time!

I'm a wall artist!

You're a wall artist with no

wall, which makes you a nothing!

Yeah, you tell him, lady.

You ruined our tree.

Shut up! You're both

materialistic idiots!

Yeah! Hey!

Hold on.

It's pajamas. Ah.

I knitted them.

Thank you. Everyone's always giving

the bride things to wear to bed,

but no one ever gives

the groom anything.

The thing is, I'm never

getting married.

Of course you are. You're

getting married in four months.

Be patient. Everything

comes to him who waits.

I don't really believe that.

I've been saying things like that for

so long, they just pop out of my mouth.

But the truth is nothing

comes to him who waits.

Merry Christmas. Lifesavers.

Hello. I'm so upset.

I'm listening.

I was in the supermarket and

everyone was buying big turkeys,

and I was standing in the ten-items-and-under

line with a boneless chicken breast.

I know.

I suddenly realized

I was going to be

in the ten-items-and-under

line the rest of my life.

I know.

Are you all right?
