What's this trouble?

Come on, back to bed.

This is our home.

Don't you know that?

There we go.

There you go, sweetie.

What's the matter,

having mean dreams?

Sleep tight.

It's not so easy, is it?

I guess people

have had to deal with this

ever since Adam and Eve

got kicked out of the Garden.

Just have to learn

to live with it.

Thank you.

You're one hell

of a watchdog, Harry.

Come on, boy.

Come on.

What do you say?

Looks okay, huh?

Don't ever do that.

Not to a man

with an ax in his hand.

I thought

I could get a little help.

- Look what you made me do.

- I made you do?

There's a week's worth of groceries

rolling down the walk.

- Wait till I finish this stuff.

- George, finish?

You have got enough wood here

to heat the whole South Shore.

You take this.

I'll get the rest.

I love you.

Broke a bulb.

Who drinks this

fancy kind of tea around here?

That's for Aunt Helena.

She's coming by around 2:00.

- Give me a break.

- Come on, be nice.

This is a big event

in my family.

We've always been

a bunch of renters.

This is the first time

anyone's bought a house.

Damn regimental inspection,

and we're not ready.

Sweetie pie, you scared me.

What do you want?

My friend Jody

wants to play upstairs.

Huh, Jody? See?

You and Jody go on up

and enjoy yourself.

Does your friend Jody

like sugar cookies, too?

- I don't think so.

- No?

Off you go.

This is Kathy Lutz.

Could I speak with Father Delarey?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Lutz.

The Father's not

feeling very well today.

He's asleep right now.

This is Father Bolen.

May I help you?

Father Bolen...

He was supposed to come by

and bless the house yesterday,

but it can wait

till he feels better.

I hope he's not too sick?

I think it's just

one of those flu things.

But, Mrs. Lutz, the Father

was at your house yesterday.

We were expecting him,

but he never showed up.

I know he left

to go there.

He didnt come.

We waited all day.

Must've been

some kind of mix-up.

No big deal.

Just tell him "hi" and...

and that we hope

he's feeling better.

I sure will.

Thank you for calling.

I'll check Amy's bathroom.

Oh, does it stink!

Mom, it stinks!

Go down and let Aunt Helena in

and don't tell her about this, okay?

Do we have to?

She's always pinching!

- Go now!

- Come on.

Go on!

And be polite.

Well, hello... Matthew!

And Gregory!

And Harry!

Where's your mother, dear?

She said she'd

be down in a minute.

Aunt Helena?

Kathleen! I'm sorry.

I must've set it

too near the edge.

- I have to go.

- I don't understand.

I don't feel well at all.

I bought your favorite tea,

and I'll make you a cup.

I have to go.

I really feel terrible.
