(phone rings)
- Okay.
(phone rings)
All right, I'm coming.
All right, don't hang up now.
I'll kill you.
(phone rings)
Oh, thank you, Barbara,
the phone is ringing.
(phone rings)
(audience laughs)
How come you didn't answer it?
- Because it's Elliot.
(phone rings)
See, he asked me to go
to this New Year's Eve party
and I told him
to call back later
in case I get a better offer.
(audience laughs)
Well, I didn't quite
put it that way.
(phone rings)
- Could be somebody else?
- No, it's Elliot.
(phone rings)
(audience laughs)
- Ohhhh, I can't stand it.
Hello.
Elliot.
(audience laughs)
Uh, hi there, Elliot.
Well, I saw her here
just a few minutes ago
so why don't you let me give
another look around, okay?
Terrific.
No, well, gee whiz,
can't see her now.
(audience laughs)
Um, yeah, you're
gonna have to call again.
Thanks, Elliot.
Bye bye.
I'm sorry.
- Quite all right.
- Shh, shhhh.
- Why?
- You guys, if you don't have
any plans for New Year's Eve,
you're in a lot of trouble.
- What are you talking about?
- They're comin' to get us.
- Who's coming?
- Emily and Orville, that's who.
- Who?
- Those two sweet old folks
from that retirement hotel.
I seen 'em down in the lobby.
They're making a
beeline for this apartment.
They should be
here in a half an hour.
(audience laughs)
- Schneider, why
are we afraid of them?
- Because they're
bringing cookies.
- Pardon me?
- Because they're gonna ask us
to do another New
Year's Eve show for them.
- Ohhhh, yeah,
you're probably right.
That show was fun to do,
but, whew, a lot of work.
- Oh, I don't mind the work.
I got other problems.
Me and Beerbelly, we were
down at Bonnie's Cafe there.
We were fooling around
with these two waitresses.
We invited them up to my
cabin for New Year's Eve
and they both accepted (laughs).
(audience laughs)
- Well, what's the
problem, tiger?
- Getting rid of Beerbelly.
(audience laughs)
(doorbell rings)
- Oh, don't let them in.
You know how I
love those cookies.
Please don't let them in.
- Hi.
- Oh, hi.
I guess you don't remember me.
- Awww, get out of here.
- Oh, okay.
(audience laughs)
- Come, no.
Of course we remember you.
- Oh, that's very flattering.
Boy, you sure have grown
into a fine young woman.
Emily, you remember Barbara?
- No, I'm Ann.
I'm Barbara's mother.
- That's amazing.
Boy, time sure is
marching backwards for you.
(audience laughs)
- Orville, I don't think
she wants to listen
to that baloney.
- I really don't mind at all.
Come on in.
- Oh, come on in.
- You remember Barbara, right?
- Oh, sure.
- And this is Mr. Schneider.
- [Both] Hi.
- Can I take your coats?
- Oh, no, no, no, no, we
just stopped by to say hello.
We can't stay.
- Yes, we can.
- Okay.
(audience laughs)
- Brought you some Toll House
cookies, homemade, still warm.
- Thank you, Emily.
- I gotta go do some work.
- I left some by your door.
(Schneider groans)
(audience laughs)
- Why don't you sit down?
Emily, Orville, I'll put
these out on a plate.
- Sit right over there.
Hey, I seen in the paper
where Julie got married,
some airline fella.
- Oh, right.
In fact, she's in Colorado
with my dad skiing.
- Yeah, Max is stuck here
'cause the airline needs him
to handle the holiday crush.
- Oh.
- Well, so how are
things at the hotel?
- Oh, well, we've got a
few new wrinkles. (laughs)
(audience laughs)
- I'm so tired of that old joke.
(audience laughs)
- We keep busy, you know,
watching TV, watering the plants,
buying sympathy cards.
(audience laughs)
- Tell them about
the engagement.
- Who got engaged?
- We did.
(audience laughs)
- That was six months ago.
- Well, that's wonderful.
Congratulations.
- Yeah, when's the wedding?
- Oh, there's no hurry.
At our age, it's
more fun living in sin.
(audience laughs)
- More living than sinning.
(audience laughs)
- I'm tired of that joke.
- Can I get you anything?
- No, no, no, we just happened
to be in the neighborhood.
Wouldn't think of it.
- We didn't just happen
to be in the neighborhood.
Get to the point.
- Well, we want to
know if you'll come down
and do another New Year's
Eve show for us at the hotel.
- Yeah, please.
- Oh, well, we would
love to do a show.
- Oh, I knew it.
I told ya they wouldn't
let us down, Emily.
- Orville, Emily, it was
a lot of fun doing a show
that one time.
But, see, well, it was a
tremendous amount of work
and it's the holiday season
and, well, we just
have other plans.
- I told ya she'd
give us the brush.
- Oh, now come on,
Emily, that's not fair.
You know, these
are important people.
They've gone and
made some plans.
Look, we can always have
another canasta tournament.
- They're giving
us both barrels.
- Hang tough.
- We'll see you around sometime.
- Well, of course, Orville.
Maybe next year?
- Oh, yeah, sure, yeah, yeah.
If there is a next year.
- Hi!
- [All] Hi!
- What a surprise.
You know, Mom, I wish
you'd call sometimes.
I really wish you...
This is Emily and Orville.
This is my mother.
- How do you do?
- Nice to meet you.
- We're from the
retirement hotel.
You know, they did a show
for us a couple of years ago.
- Oh, yeah.
Hey, Annie told me
how much fun that was.
Oh, hey, you're gonna
do another show this year?
Could I be in it?
- Uh, no, Mom, as a
matter of fact, we're not...
- You know something?
I was Tinkerbell
in the PTA musical.
Oh, I just loved
dancing and (whistles).
(audience laughs)
- You sure got the
legs for it. (laughs)
- Aw, you're putting me on.
- Oh no, I've always
gone for them
tall, long-legged beauties.
- Orville?
- And the petite,
short-legged ones, too.
(audience laughs)
- Well, thank you for coming by.
- Hey, what's the hurry?
Come on, let's
talk about the show.
- Mom, we have
other plans, okay?
- Plans, what...
- Name me one petite,
short-legged dancer.
- The little French
guy on Fantasy Island.
(audience laughs)
- What plans have you
got for New Year's Eve?
You told me you were just
gonna curl up with a good book.
- Well, Mom, that's a plan.
Look, we just don't have
time to do the show, okay?
- Boy, that sure gives
me a look into my future.
You're already phoning
me less and less, you know.
- Oh, Mom.
- Uh oh, Orville
forgot his muffler.
- I bet he didn't forget it.
I bet it's just another excuse
to give us another chance
to do the show.
- Barbara, would you
take that back tomorrow
on your way to school?
- Oh no, no, no,
Mom, please, please.
I'm not gonna go into that den
of sweet, smiling,
friendly old people.
- Okay, I'll drop it by.
- No, Mom, that wouldn't work.
What we need is a tough,
mean, ornery Scrooge.
- I've had it.
(audience laughs)
That's it, I quit.
That was the worst
flight I've ever worked
in my entire life.
Geriatric special to Florida?
Rowdy, ho ho!
Singing, dancing,
jumping, pinching,
running around in the aisles.
Those old people
ran my butt off.
(audience laughs)
- Uh, Max.
We have a little errand for you.
(audience laughs)
(audience laughs)
- Mother, would you stop that?
(audience laughs)
Mother, would please just
put that rocking chair back
in my room?
(audience laughs)
Mom, we are not going
over there to do the show
for those people and I
do not feel guilty about it.
(sighs)
(audience laughs)
- All right, all right, I do
feel a little guilty about it.
Yeah, all right, but we
can't do the show ourselves
and Julie's not here
and Barbara's got a date.
- Only if I go with Elliot.
Besides, I've been
thinking, Mom,
it was an awful lot of
fun to put on that show.
- See, see, Annie, that was fun.
It was a fun show.
- It was fun.
Mom, would you, yeah, Mom.
(audience laughs)
It was fun.
You were right,
but oh, I don't know.
I mean, we'd have
to think of what to do.
- Hi, girls.
- Hi, Schneider.
- Hello.
- I need comfort.
I need hand-holding.
I need solace.
- What's the matter?
- Uh, the trip to
the cabin is off.
Beerbelly got the flu
and I can't go up there
with those two women.
- Well, I thought that's
what you wanted, tiger.
- Well, I did, but I
found out they're related.
And that's borderline kinky.
(audience laughs)
- Well, that leaves only Max.
- Oh, now come on, Mom.
Max is certainly not gonna...
(knocking on door)
- I'll get that.
- Hey, Dwayne.
(audience laughs)
- Hi, come in.
- You know, those old
people are so sweet.
(audience applauds)
- Emily, dear, this is my chair.
- Evidently you didn't
read the bulletin board.
There are no reserved seats.
- But I was here first.
- Orville, throw
her out of my chair.
- What difference does it make?
Will you please sit down?
- Well, this one doesn't
have any padding on it.
- Well, that's hardly any
problem for you, dear.
(audience laughs)
- Will you stop it,
the both of you?
I gotta start the show.
Okay.
(piano music)
Okay, come on,
everybody, sit down.
Come on, everybody sit
down and get comfortable.
Okay.
Now it's my very great
pleasure to introduce to you
a man who was voted
Entertainer of the Year
by the Greater Indianapolis
Janitorial Association.
(audience laughs)
The one, the only Dwayne
"Crazy Lips" Schneider.
(everyone applauds)
- Hey, how are ya?
How are my old fans and friends?
Happy new year, everybody, okay?
I wanna tell you
that my troupe and I,
we're really happy to be back
playing the Park Utopia Hotel.
Of course, last time I was
here, I got a parking ticket.
(laughs) Left my Jaguar outside
and it tried to make
it with a Cougar.
(everyone laughs)
There, that's the way.
Yesiree, well, they had a little
Volkswagen Rabbit together,
but talking about pets,
I used to have a dog.
We called him Carpenter (laughs)
'cause he kept doing
odd jobs around the house.
(rimshot, everyone laughs)
Anyway, course we finally
got him housebroken, you know,
and then we had
to change his name.
We changed his name to Tinsmith
'cause he kept making
a bolt for the door.
(everyone laughs)
You know, bolt right
out, that's an old joke.
Anyway, I wanna tell you,
just hold your knuckles,
'cause I'm cracking 'em tonight.
(everyone laughs)
I tell you what, if you're
really a good audience,
really a good
audience, after the show,
I'll take you down to the
henhouse, we'll feel a warm egg.
Huh, what do you say?
(rimshot, everyone laughs)
There's a yolk in there!
(everyone laughs)
But talking about
fiddling around,
I'm very happy at this point
in the show to bring on now
a great international artist,
the famous
international cellist.
Please join me in
welcoming Madam Ossini.
(everyone applauds)
There you go,
Madam, there you go.
Put the ol' Ossini on that one.

- One more, let me do one more.
- I think that's enough for now.
- How 'bout one more?
- That's okay.
Just go outside there
and tell your bow.
(audience laughs)
Don't worry, Madam
Ossini'll be back a little later
and she's gonna play
our national anthem
O Say Can You Saw.
(everyone laughs)
Hey, I tell ya, I
just love doing this.
Now we're gonna bring
out for you a great act.
In the tradition of Sally

sultry Miss Cuddles Cooper.

You know, Mom, I wish
you'd call sometimes.
I really wish you...
This is Emily and Orville.
This is my mother.
- How do you do?
- Nice to meet you.
- We're from the
retirement hotel.
You know, they did a show
for us a couple of years ago.
- Oh, yeah.
Hey, Annie told me
how much fun that was.
Oh, hey, you're gonna
do another show this year?
Could I be in it?
- Uh, no, Mom, as a
matter of fact, we're not...
- You know something?
I was Tinkerbell
in the PTA musical.
Oh, I just loved
dancing and (whistles).
(audience laughs)
- You sure got the
legs for it. (laughs)
- Aw, you're putting me on.
- Oh no, I've always
gone for them
tall, long-legged beauties.
- Orville?
- And the petite,
short-legged ones, too.
(audience laughs)
- Well, thank you for coming by.
- Hey, what's the hurry?
Come on, let's
talk about the show.
- Mom, we have
other plans, okay?
- Plans, what...
- Name me one petite,
short-legged dancer.
- The little French
guy on Fantasy Island.
(audience laughs)
- What plans have you
got for New Year's Eve?
You told me you were just
gonna curl up with a good book.
- Well, Mom, that's a plan.
Look, we just don't have
time to do the show, okay?
- Boy, that sure gives
me a look into my future.
You're already phoning
me less and less, you know.
- Oh, Mom.
- Uh oh, Orville
forgot his muffler.
- I bet he didn't forget it.
I bet it's just another excuse
to give us another chance
to do the show.
- Barbara, would you
take that back tomorrow
on your way to school?
- Oh no, no, no,
Mom, please, please.
I'm not gonna go into that den
of sweet, smiling,
friendly old people.
- Okay, I'll drop it by.
- No, Mom, that wouldn't work.
What we need is a tough,
mean, ornery Scrooge.
- I've had it.
(audience laughs)
That's it, I quit.
That was the worst
flight I've ever worked
in my entire life.
Geriatric special to Florida?
Rowdy, ho ho!
Singing, dancing,
jumping, pinching,
running around in the aisles.
Those old people
ran my butt off.
(audience laughs)
- Uh, Max.
We have a little errand for you.
(audience laughs)
(audience laughs)
- Mother, would you stop that?
(audience laughs)
Mother, would please just
put that rocking chair back
in my room?
(audience laughs)
Mom, we are not going
over there to do the show
for those people and I
do not feel guilty about it.
(sighs)
(audience laughs)
- All right, all right, I do
feel a little guilty about it.
Yeah, all right, but we
can't do the show ourselves
and Julie's not here
and Barbara's got a date.
- Only if I go with Elliot.
Besides, I've been
thinking, Mom,
it was an awful lot of
fun to put on that show.
- See, see, Annie, that was fun.
It was a fun show.
- It was fun.
Mom, would you, yeah, Mom.
(audience laughs)
It was fun.
You were right,
but oh, I don't know.
I mean, we'd have
to think of what to do.
- Hi, girls.
- Hi, Schneider.
- Hello.
- I need comfort.
I need hand-holding.
I need solace.
- What's the matter?
- Uh, the trip to
the cabin is off.
Beerbelly got the flu
and I can't go up there
with those two women.
- Well, I thought that's
what you wanted, tiger.
- Well, I did, but I
found out they're related.
And that's borderline kinky.
(audience laughs)
- Well, that leaves only Max.
- Oh, now come on, Mom.
Max is certainly not gonna...
(knocking on door)
- I'll get that.
- Hey, Dwayne.
(audience laughs)
- Hi, come in.
- You know, those old
people are so sweet.
(audience applauds)
- Emily, dear, this is my chair.
- Evidently you didn't
read the bulletin board.
There are no reserved seats.
- But I was here first.
- Orville, throw
her out of my chair.
- What difference does it make?
Will you please sit down?
- Well, this one doesn't
have any padding on it.
- Well, that's hardly any
problem for you, dear.
(audience laughs)
- Will you stop it,
the both of you?
I gotta start the show.
Okay.
(piano music)
Okay, come on,
everybody, sit down.
Come on, everybody sit
down and get comfortable.
Okay.
Now it's my very great
pleasure to introduce to you
a man who was voted
Entertainer of the Year
by the Greater Indianapolis
Janitorial Association.
(audience laughs)
The one, the only Dwayne
"Crazy Lips" Schneider.
(everyone applauds)
- Hey, how are ya?
How are my old fans and friends?
Happy new year, everybody, okay?
I wanna tell you
that my troupe and I,
we're really happy to be back
playing the Park Utopia Hotel.
Of course, last time I was
here, I got a parking ticket.
(laughs) Left my Jaguar outside
and it tried to make
it with a Cougar.
(everyone laughs)
There, that's the way.
Yesiree, well, they had a little
Volkswagen Rabbit together,
but talking about pets,
I used to have a dog.
We called him Carpenter (laughs)
'cause he kept doing
odd jobs around the house.
(rimshot, everyone laughs)
Anyway, course we finally
got him housebroken, you know,
and then we had
to change his name.
We changed his name to Tinsmith
'cause he kept making
a bolt for the door.
(everyone laughs)
You know, bolt right
out, that's an old joke.
Anyway, I wanna tell you,
just hold your knuckles,
'cause I'm cracking 'em tonight.
(everyone laughs)
I tell you what, if you're
really a good audience,
really a good
audience, after the show,
I'll take you down to the
henhouse, we'll feel a warm egg.
Huh, what do you say?
(rimshot, everyone laughs)
There's a yolk in there!
(everyone laughs)
But talking about
fiddling around,
I'm very happy at this point
in the show to bring on now
a great international artist,
the famous
international cellist.
Please join me in
welcoming Madam Ossini.
(everyone applauds)
There you go,
Madam, there you go.
Put the ol' Ossini on that one.

- I think that's enough for now.
- How 'bout one more?
- That's okay.
Just go outside there
and tell your bow.
(audience laughs)
Don't worry, Madam
Ossini'll be back a little later
and she's gonna play
our national anthem
O Say Can You Saw.
(everyone laughs)
Hey, I tell ya, I
just love doing this.
Now we're gonna bring
out for you a great act.
In the tradition of Sally
