I'm the one they

still want around.

I guess that means they

love me more than you.

That must be a great

consolation to you.

Dad, that's bleach

for laundry.

It kills the germs.

What's the difference?

Elli? What? What are you

doing with those sheets?

They're dirty.

Let me see. Nothing.

Those two, they didn't do nothing

in there. Shake them, put them back.

But, Ma...

Electricity, detergent,

who's paying

for all that?

And you, theater girl,

get back in the barn!

All of you!

Lazy people.

Let's call to order.

Come on, everyone.

Last meeting, we all said we'd each

bring some new ideas to the table.

Well, okay.

We got a lot of dairy farms

around here, right?

And a fair number of bulls.

Okay, you've all

heard of the running

of the bulls in

that town in Spain,

Pampoona.

Pamplona.

Well, no one's doing

one in the Catskills.

Seems to be a big

draw over there.

It would be very amusing

to see all those Jews

from Levitsky's

summer colony,

you know, the ones with the

black top hats and the curls,

running for their lives

chased by our local livestock.

Wouldn't that be

a wonderful sight!

We're writing it all down.

Any other ideas?

What about the monorail?

Marge, you can't bring

that up in every meeting.

I've written

to the Governor,

but I think a letter from

the entire Chamber of Commerce

would be much

more effective.

A monorail linking downtown

New York to White Lake

would be a tremendous spur

to the local economy.

Jesus. Look, people, I said I

would come back to these meetings

if you could stay out of

cuckoo land, just once.

We have some serious local

issues, serious business to do.

Such as?

For starters,

I need a permit

for the town landing

for a fish-toss

tournament next month.

I knew it. I knew it. You're just

back here for your own purposes.

Now, come on, Marge. All right,

let's see the application.

I got it here.

Yeah, that's all

in order. $1.

Here you go.

And I've got my

application for our annual

El Monaco summer

music and art event,

which will also inaugurate

the first season

of the tourist

information kiosk.

Annie, if your grandson and his

friends want to play again this year,

tell them to

give me a call.

Okay.

Do I hear a motion to

approve these permits?

I so move.

Okay. Seconded?

Seconded?

Oh, for crying

out loud, seconded.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night, Annie.

Night, Elliot.

See you, Elliot.

Bye, everyone.

Night, Elliot.

Good night, Carol. F***! F***!

Take him down, motherfuckers!

Jesus! Billy, get back in the car.

What?

Back in the car.

Hey, Billy, you're back.

That's great.

Yeah.

Staying with big brother Dan
