- [Janet] George, over here!

- [Bees Buzzing]

- Hey, George.

Have you ever, um...

Have you ever been on fire?

- On fire?

- Yeah.

Well, I'm near fire.

Trained to fight fire,

but have I ever been

on fire?

No, never. Thank God.

- I don't mean literally.

I mean emotionally.

- [Buzzing Continues]

Oh, you mean passion.

Well, yeah.

Sure. Sure.

I get fired up

when I listen to opera.

All the great human emotions

in three short hours, and all

I got to do is sit there.

I don't like opera much.

It's too...

- Too, too...

- too emotional.

You know,

all those endless feelings.

- Huh.

- [Janet] Hey, what's going on?

- Well, we're talking about opera.

- Oh, I love opera!

- You do not! No you don't.

- I do.

- I listen to it

when I vacuum all the time.

- Will you give me a hand here?

- I got it.

- All right. All right.

Uh, hand me my smoke.

- I'm ready.

- Oh, boy.

- Thanks, George. I'll buy ya dinner.

- Great. You're on!

- Be careful. Get it?

- You don't like opera.

- I do too.

- You don't even understand Italian.

Opera's in Italian?

[Whistle Blowing]

[Johnny] So old Loblolly

was once called Recklesstown?

[Scattergoods] My great aunt, Patricia

Scattergoods Randolph, raised hounds.

Before it was

Helen's bookstore,

they all lived

in that house together...

Aunt Batty Patty

and the dogs.

- [Whistle Blowing]

- A thinning gene pool

is a terrible thing to witness.

Ah.

Civilization's crowning achievement.

The cocktail hour.

So Helen's bookstore once housed

a madwoman and her dogs?

And your parent's house once housed

a speakeasy during Prohibition.

[Blowing Continues]

I like that name.

Recklesstown.

[Seagulls Cawing]

- So, you run.

- Yeah.

Hey, did you know your bookstore

used to house a madwoman and her dogs?

Still does.

[Panting]

Hey, uh, bet I can beat you

to that rock over there.

On your mark,

get set, go!

So, uh,

what if I win?

- [Grunts]

- Oh!

I'll cook you dinner!

- [Doorbell Rings]

- Oh, he's early.

- You're early.

- [Johnny] Yeah.

- Hi.

- I didn't use conditioner.

It really saves a lot

of time in the shower.

(music) I took my troubles

down to Madame Ruth (music)

- I hope you like spaghetti.

- Oh, yeah. Homemade sauce?

- Uh, uh-huh.

- Oh, that's great. My mom

would make it with bay leaves.

- One or two?

- (music) Love potion number nine (music)

- Two. That's how I make it.

- (music) I told her that

I was a flop with chicks (music)

- Hey, chaise lounge.

(music) I've been this way

since 1956 (music)

- (music) She looked at my palm

and she made a magic sign (music)

- It's very chaise.

(music) She said, What you need
