- We shouldn't stare like this.

- [Chuckles]

Why don't we both go say

hello, or are you chicken?

Go for it, Mr Peterson! Yes!

- [Ricky Laughing] Whoo!

- Now everybody's watching us.

- [Ricky Shouting] Good going, man!

- Yeah, okay, yeah.

I'll go in with you. Sure. No problem.

[Throws Down Gum] Let's go.

[Art] There's bars on

the basement windows.

[Groans]

- They got holes in their porch too.

- That was a booby trap.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- I'm not gonna pay for that.

- We shouldn't pay for that. We should sue them.

[Sighs] Well, um,

let's... Let's say hello.

Hey.

[Both Yelling]

- [Screams]

- Get the hose. Hang on, men!

[Ray, Art Screaming]

- Run to me! Run to water!

- [Screaming Continues]

- [Wife Screams]

- [Ricky Laughing]

- [Both Screaming]

- Ray, over here! Run to water!

- [Continue Screaming]

- Run to me! Come on!

[Sighs]

[Ray] I think they're gone,

Mark. I think they're gone!

- You men hit?

- I cannot believe you did that.

- Neither can I.

- I cannot believe it! That was great.

The same thing happened to me

last week. I was over there.

It wasn't bees though.

It was a foaming squirrel.

In Southeast Asia, we'd call

this type of thing "bad karma."

[Carol] Honey, bee stings don't

heal if you keep playing with them.

[Ray] If we had gone to the lake,

I'd have twice as many of these.

- It isn't like anything you said is coming true.

- Where are you going?

I can't walk away without

you asking where I'm going?

I'm going to Paris, France. I'm

going to Banff, Canada, all right?

- That's where I'm going.

- [Carol] Are you taking the dog?

Yeah, yeah. I'm taking

the dog for a walk.

No, wait, wait, wait.

Hey, Vince, let's go over here, huh?

Let's not go that way tonight.

Here's a nice yard. It's a good yard.

[Art Yells] Hey, you with the dog!

[Art, Ricky Laughing]

[Art] Hey, keep that

mutt off my lawn, will ya?

All right. Have a field day.

[Barking]

He comes here to smoke cigars. His wife

won't let him. He doesn't know I know that.

Hi, Ray. How ya doin', bud?

- Hey, there, Mr Peterson.

- Good to see you.

- Wouldn't need a lighter, would you?

- Thanks.

- It is a lovely night, isn't it?

- Yeah, green sky tonight.

Green sky at morning:

Neighbour take warning.

Green sky at night?

Neighbour take flight.

Did you ever see the movie

The Sentinel, Mr Peterson?

It's about the old guy

who owned the apartment...

which is kind of like

the gateway to hell.

No, I didn't see that.

Oh, well, I was doing some thinking.

And, you know, being that their

last house burned down and all...

it's like, maybe, somebody

left the gate open.

[Rumbling, Whirring]

It's them. They're movin' around again.
