having children, you know.

there are methods,

there are devices.

they're not foolproof.

they are if you use them

all at the same time.

[screaming]

how now,

brown cow.

[groaning]

[panting]

it's a nightmare.

that's what it is, old buddy

a nightmare.

must be something you ate.

that's right,

something you ate.

[laughing]

put up your hands.

give me your

high school ring.

a nightmare

or too much sun lamp.

boy, what a great sun lamp.

[moaning]

althea.

i'm having a nightmare

about my sun lamp.

so don't wake up

and try and talk me

out of it.

it's just

a little nightmare

about a great sun lamp.

i'm going back to bed now.

i know that when i wake up

again in the morning,

my skin will be

lovely and white.

so just stay asleep, althea.

because as long

as you're asleep,

it's a nightmare.

but if you wake up

and begin screaming,

it won't be

a nightmare anymore.

and i don't want

that to happen.

so just stay asleep, althea.

as long as you're asleep,

it's a nightmare.

and all night long,

it'll be a nightmare.

it's a nightmare.

it's a nightmare.

it's not a nightmare.

but mommy said.

dad, the whole house

is getting steamed up.

so is your old man.

and then come in here.

you mean, you won't be

racing the bus today?

don't ever bring up

the race issue again.

[door closing]

(jeff)

oh, lord, i've never been

a religious man.

i won't try to

kid you about that.

i don't go to church,

and i only pray

when i'm feeling

scared or rotten.

i meant to pray last night.

perhaps you're angry

because i didn't.
