I thought I heard you.

Man:

Mmmm! Smells good.

Woman:

Did you remember

to call the Irwins, dear?

Man:

Of course I did.

Dinner ready?

I'm starving.

Woman:

But Don't you want

to wait for Bobby?

Man:

What do you mean?

Isn't he home?

His car's here.

Younger woman:

It is? Bobby, you out there?

Coming.

Go wash your hands, daddy.

We can eat right away.

That's the best news

I've heard all day.

Hello, sir.

Hi, son.

How's it going?

Okay. Hi, mom.

Hello, dear.

Come on, sit right down.

Hi, Bobby.

Hi, honey.

Where have

you been?

Just washing my hands.

Oh, well, we were

worried about you.

You certainly

came in quietly.

We didn't hear

the car or anything.

Have you been

home long?

Just got in.

Ah, that looks good.

I didn't have time

for lunch today.

Where were you?

Oh, Robert.

Well, before...

( TV plays quietly )

We thank you for the food

we're about to receive,

In the lord's name, amen.

All:

Amen.

Working you hard,

Bobby, boy?

Not too bad, sir.

They certainly are

working him hard.

Pass Bobby the

rolls, Ilene.

Oh, did you order

those tables

For the bazaar,

dear?

Didn't I say I would,

Charlotte?

What took

you so long?

Give me your plate, Ilene.

What do you mean?

That bazaar is

all I hear about.

Well, you

were so late.

I'm sorry.

Oh, the boss made me stay late.

Give me your

plate, Bobby.

Got to give you

some potatoes.

Had to file some things.

Hey, guess who I saw

coming home?

Who?

Byron Orlok.

Oh!

Really?!

Yup.

Did he scare you?

Yeah. No.

I was driving

toward the freeway,

And I saw him standing

on the sidewalk talking.

Well, to the future.

Ed:

I'll drink to that.

Just get me a drink.

Oh, my God,

I forgot all about you.

How could you forget

about me?

Have a seat, ed.

We had a date, 6:00.

What?

I forgot to tell you.

What's the

problem, ed?

No problem at all.

I just wanted

to go over the arrangements

For tomorrow night.

What's tomorrow

night?

That personal appearance.

What?

At the drive-in.

Yup, now everything's

been taken care of.

We got one of the big l.A.

Disc jockeys

To introduce you, Kip Larkin,

And I think you should meet

with him

Tomorrow afternoon at 3:00,

if it's all right with you.

I'm not making that appearance,

ed.

What?

I'm not making

That appearance.

What do you mean, Byron?

It's all set.

It's all been taken care of,

the ads, everything.

Byron?

Now what am I going to do?

Would you please

bring me a phone?

Man:

Yes, sir.

Ed:

I Don't want

to get upset.

I'm not going to get upset.

Ed:

Thank you very much.

What are you trying to do,

get me fired?

Byron, you know, you do

Have an obligation here.

I have no more obligations,
