Real tomato ketchup, Eddie?

Nothing but the best!

Aunt Edna!

Helper's getting cold.

Is that your Aunt Edna?

Aunt Edna! After all these years!

And you look so good!

Hi, Edna! Nice to see you again!

You remember Clark, don't you?

You were the ones who sent me

the fruitcake for Christmas.

It made me so sick!

I'm sorry. We thought

you enjoyed fruitcake.

Do you enjoy throwing up

every five minutes, Claud?

Clark.

Well, am I going to eat

or starve to death?

Catherine?

Did you tell Clark and Ellen

the good news.

No. I was just about to.

What's the good news?

You are driving me to Phoenix!

"Junior Pig Competition"?

You won this trophy for racing a pig?

Yeah. First Place.

Does anyone know about it?

Everyone knows.

Vicki, don't be offended, but being

a farmer is not too cool, you know.

Oh, yeah.

How cool...

...is this?

I'm really glad things

are going well for you.

I was laid off when they

closed that asbestos factory.

The Army cuts my disability pension.

They claimed the plate in my head

wasn't large enough.

Clark and Ellen don't want

to hear about problems.

No, no. It is very interesting.

Why don't you just ask him

for the money, Eddie?

He sure as hell can't take a hint!

Well, I didn't want to ask you, Clark.

Could you, maybe,

spare a little extra cash?

Sure, Eddie!

How much money do you need?

About $52,000.

Good-bye, baby!

You'll send those checks?

It's taken care of.

Okay, let's go. Come on, Edna.

Lay off, lay off!

Well, gotta be going.

What's this?

This is for you, Clark.

Oh, what is it?

A gift.

You didn't have to buy me a gift!

Go on and open it.

Eddie, you shouldn't have.

Those are great, Dad!

Be quiet, Russ.

Try them on.

No, no, I don't want to get them dirty.

I told you he wouldn't like them!

I love them.

I knew you did because

the last time I saw you, Clark...

...you remarked about

how much you liked mine.

I guess we better be going.

Here he is, Uncle Clark,

all walked and everything.

What is this? A dog?

He's Aunt Edna's dog, Dinky.

He watches "Family Feud. "

How are you, little fellow?

You didn't get to meet Dinky last night.

He had the shits,

so he slept in the barn.

Great. I'll make some space

for him in the back.

No! Sit, sit!

Roll over! Heel!

Here. Have a good trip.

Thanks a lot.

"I found out long ago

"It's a long way down a Holiday Road

"Holiday Road!

"Holiday Road! "

Look at these sandwiches.

Here, Aunt Edna.

Thank you.

Rusty, stop playing with the dog

and come and eat your lunch.

You're favorite, bologna and cheese.

"I've had some lonely nights

"And I'll admit I cried sometimes

"Cause you were out of my life

"But then you called my name
