What's got into Mrs. Rowe?

I never heard

such a caterwaulin'.

Thank God I don't have to work

for that crazy old thing.

There's one of

my sunshine boys now.

Hi, Aunt Vee.

Why don't you boys set up the card table

in the parlor, where it's cool...

and play mah-jongg?

Christ, Valeria,

kids don't wanna play mah-jongg.

It's summertime.

They wanna go ride old lady Rowe's cow.

Or is that udder nonsense?

Hey, kiddo.

I'll bet we didn't.

We saw it- Naughty Marietta

and Murder in the Blue Room.

- [UNCLE GEORGE] Come on, Rider!

- Comin'!

You take care

of the son and heir.

It's not gonna be a boy.

It's gonna be a girl. I told ya!

I know you told me,

but you don't say how you know.

He knows. Last year, on Mother's birthday,

he predicted a storm.

- And what did we get?

- Hail!

Hail Columbia is what somebody's gonna get

if they don't eat.

Eat!

- Rider!

- Oh, honey, bring home some sarsaparilla.

- I have a craving.

- God. Pregnant women.

Can I tune in?

Sure.

Yowsah. It's gonna be a girl.

You witch.

[GIGGLES]

What's in the oven?

Ah! Them is

your grandmother's surprise.

Eat!

[SIGHS]

Alexandra is ready for lunch.

Yes, ma'am. I know.

Let me take it up.

You're gonna have to sit

with Mrs. Alexander.

Make her eat.

Otherwise she won't touch a thing.

Niles, put the paper

under my arm.

Mmm!

That'll only upset her.

- Tell Mother I'll read to her later.

- All right.

Ouch! Oh!

Did ya eat?

Did ya eat?

[RING RATTLING IN CAN]

Holland.

Holland. You in here?

Damn you. What are you doing

in the dark anyway?

I'm thinking.

Close the door.

[NILES]

Thinking? About what?

Old lady Rowe.

Damned old b*tch!

What is it?

A snowman.

Ada made it.

People always call it a hawk.

It's really a peregrine falcon.

Peregrine for Perry.

It is my ring, isn't it?

You gave it to me, didn't you?

Cripe's sake, yes.

I gave it to ya.

Now, will you forget

about the ring.

Just wanted to make sure.

Look, the ring

was granddaddy's.

When he died, it went to Father,

'cause he was the oldest.

Then when Father got killed

I got it...

because I was the oldest.

Only by 20 minutes.

I'm still the oldest.

So I can do anything

I want to do with it. Can't I?

I told you you can have it.

It's yours, and I don't ever want it back.

What about this?

Shut up about that.

If you ever tell anybody on me-

- [SLAM]

- Shh! Listen!

[KNOCKING]

I thought so.

You are playing in here.

You know we're not supposed to.

What's that?

That's Grandpa Perry's ring...

and it's supposed

to be buried.

I'm gonna tell. You just wait until

my daddy gets home.

You just see if I don't tell.

[GRUNTING]

[FOOTSTEPS RUNNING AWAY]

Holland.

H-He saw the ring.

I know.

Don't worry, little brother.

- He's gonna tell Uncle George.

- No, he's not.

You can have the ring back.

This too.

Take 'em.

I don't want 'em, Niles.

I gave 'em to you.

Come on, little brother.

Let's get outta here.

[HOLLAND WHISTLING]

[NILES WHISPERS]

Father.

- Father.

- Hey, Niles! What you doin'? Now, come on!

[DOOR SLAMS]

I'm gonna tell!

[WHISTLING]

Only Piggy Lookadoo

would have rats for pets.

Rats for a rat.

[SQUEAKING]

Come on, Holland.

Let's get outta here.

[SQUEAKING CONTINUES]

You killed it, Holland.

You killed it.

Mother!

Mother!

Niles.
