Doesn't seem that fast, honey?

Slow down!

I don't know why,

we're making good time.

"Love for sale

"Appetizing, yummy love... "

They're here! Eddie, come on!

I can't believe it's been so long!

Eddie, you look terrific.

Come and meet your cousins!

Look how they've grown!

You have lost weight, Catherine!

She's added a few more mouths

to the litter.

Rusty and Audrey,

cousins Vicki and Dale.

And this is Eddie Junior and Junior.

The little one hanging onto

my skirt is Daisy-Mabel.

How old are you, little one.

She was born without a tongue, Clark.

But don't worry about her. She whistles

like a bird and eats like a horse.

Take your cousins out back

and show them your worm farm.

Come in the house, Ellen.

I've so much to tell you.

Look at that car!

That's the Family Truckster.

Boy, she's a beaut!

I like those "green walls. "

We had some trouble in St. Louis.

Well, you're looking really...

...fit.

This is your homestead, huh?

Yeah, I don't know for how long, though.

The bank's been after me like

flies on a rib roast.

I know the feeling.

Oh, f*** it!

I bet you could use a cool one?

Now you're talking.

I'm going steady.

And I French kiss.

So? Everyone does that.

Yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best.

Want a worm?

No, thanks.

Do you have Pac-Man?

No.

Space Invaders?

No.

Do you have Asteroids?

No, but my dad does.

He can't even sit on the toilet

some days.

What do you do here, Dale?

Well, I have a stack of

nudie books this high.

She's beautiful!

Would you sell me any of them?

Sh*t, no! I cherish them!

And I use them a lot!

How do you use a magazine?

I'll tell you how.

A guy taught me something

really neat, last year.

Have you ever bopped your bologna?

I guess we are 11, right?

No, we are 12 with Aunt Edna.

Aunt Edna? Is she still alive?

You bet!

I can't wait to see the look

on Clark's face when he hears that.

She came to help when

Eddie ruptured his spleen...

...and she's been here ever since.

She wanted to go back

to Phoenix last year...

...but Eddie wouldn't let her.

Without her Social Security,

we'd never be able to live like this.

It looks as though you've really

got your hands full.

Oh, it's not so bad!

Eddie says after the baby comes,

I can quit one of my night jobs.

How do you like yours, Clark?

Oh, medium rare, a little pink inside.

No! Your bun! Light or dark?

Either way, it doesn't matter.

Vicki, can I help you

stir that? Please?

I don't know why they call this

Hamburger Helper!

It's just fine by itself.

I like it better than Tuna Helper,

don't you, Clark?

You're the gourmet, Ed.

No meat in this?

You get plenty of meat at home.

Be polite. Have some ketchup.
