That is the name
of this community, yes.
I'm trying to find 21 carvers Lane.
They phoned for a cab.
Oh.
Someone going away?
How would I know?
They want a cab, that's all.
You know where it is?
I do.
You continue on and turn left into the first
street. It is the fourth house on the right.
Thanks, buddy.
You're entirely welcome.
Say, you mind telling me what
you're doing with that feather?
I am cross-pollinating a specimen
of the family iridaceae.
Come again?

The principle, believe

Uh, yes, mother?
What did that taxi man want?
He's looking for
21 carvers Lane, mother.
What on earth do the Harry
kings need a cab for?
I don't know, mother!
- Well, why didn't you ask him?
- I did!
But he doesn't know
either, mother! Oh!
You never find out anything.
[ Sighs ]
Better drink it now
before it gets cold.
Never mind the milk. Wheel me over

Careful, now.
Hurry. Hurry.

Henry!
Come back here!
Hey! Get this dog off of me!
Get him off!
He's a watchdog!
He's supposed to bite strangers!
It's all right. He won't hurt ya.
Come on, Henry.
What's the matter?
don't you like dogs?
- [ Door opens ]
Yes? Oh, Roddy, will you
please stop crying.
You sent for a cab, lady.
You've come to the wrong house.
I didn't phone for a cab...
[ shrieks ]
Roddy, please stop!
This is number 21. Somebody
from here phoned for a cab.
I'm sorry, but there
must be some mistake.
There's no mistake, Mrs. King!
I phoned for a cab.
Really, Mrs. Maypole,
I-I don't quite understand.
There's nothing to understand.
I'm quittin', that's
all, and right now!
But you can't... you just can't
walk out... that's what you think.
Want I should
put 'em in the cab?
Yes, if you can get by them kids and that
awful dog without gettin' 'em smashed.
I don't know
what's upset you, but...
oh, you don't, huh?
Well, I'll tell ya.
It's them three kids of yours that's
upset me, and that horrible dog.
Upset me?
They've driven me nuts!
I'll never take another job anywhere
where they have kids or pets, so help me!
We had three children and a dog,
Mrs. Maypole, when you came.
We didn't spring them on you
unexpectedly.
I know. I should have
my head examined.
Good day, Mrs. King!
And mail me them two days
I got comin'.
[ Cab door closes ]
[ Sighs ]
don't worry, mom.
She was a pain in the neck.
She couldn't cook good either.
You're a much better cook, mom.
Hello.
Oh, good morning, Mrs. King.
Just a moment, please.
- Yes?
- Your wife, Mr. King, on two.
Right.
Oh.
Hello, honey.
Say, Mr. Hammond wants us to...
what?
She didn't.
Why, the old bag!
The maid quit. Uh, it's just bill.
You can talk.
What?
I said, in a way
I'm glad to get rid of her.
All she did
was guzzle beer all day.
What? Tonight?
