to watch Star Journey.

- Steve, he's not a creep.

- Well, he sure acts like one.

He did it again.

Jen, will you do something?

Steve, just let him have

his own way tonight, okay?

You mean we can't watch Star Journey

on account of that crummy chimp?

Just tonight. Please?

All right.

With all the pets in the world,

you gotta end up with a chimp

that likes bad TV!

Mother Carey's Chickens

and The Maxwell Family?

Well, who would ever figure

that those two shows

would end up on top?

Nobody in this town, that's for sure.

- Oh, hi, Rog.

- Keep moving.

Mother Carey's Chickens

and The Maxwell Family?

Huh. Hmm.

- Look, aren't these cute?

- Yeah, they're real cute.

- Steve, show some interest.

- I said, they're real cute.

I think I'll get them all.

Why don't you guys beat it, huh?

We like the chimp, mister.

Now don't do that.

Come on.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,

for watching The Fastest Gun.

It is your loyal viewing

that has made our program

one of America's

top-rated shows.

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd spend a

little time with your roommate.

- Well, how'd you get in?

- The landlady.

- She's real nice.

- She sure is.

- Can you beat that?

- Beat what?

Oh, nothing.

- Hey, Jen?

- What?

I know we're gonna go out for supper

tonight, but let's just skip it.

Well, how come?

Why should we?

Well, there's some shows

I wanted to see tonight.

We'll call Chicken Lickin',

it'll be just as much fun, honest.

Why, that little son of a gun.

He picked them all!

7:
30 to 12:00.

Holy smoke, he knows!

Jen?

- He knows.

- Who knows?

Animals.

Just like in the westerns.

Nobody sees the rattlesnake because

he's hidden behind the sagebrush.

It's the horse who rears

and saves the cowboy's life.

- He knows!

- I hope so.

Oh, you're gonna thank

your lucky stars I came along.

You'll kiss the ground I walk on.

I will?

He knows. He knows!

If it happened once,

it might be an accident.

But he picks the number one show

every single night! He knows!

Hey. He knows.

- I'm gonna be rich.

- Well, that's just wonderful.

- Now may I see your driver's license?

- Sure.

Thank you. Okay.

You look just like

a friend of mine.

- Steve!

- For you!

Oh, Steve, they're beautiful!

But you really shouldn't

have spent the money.

Don't worry. There'll be a lot

more where that came from.

You know, it's a funny thing. Everything

seems to be going wrong for you.

One day you turn a corner

and your whole life changes.

All of a sudden you got the world

in your hip pocket.

- It's amazing, isn't it?

- Yeah.

Raffles?

Hey, uh, where is he, Jen?

- Oh, he's with Roger.

- Roger?

Yeah, they left

about ten minutes ago.
