- Hey, hey!
- Hi!

- How'd it go at the airport?

- No problem, they
got here right on time.

- Now hear this, now hear this.

Here they are direct
from Houston, Texas,

let's hear it for America's
potentially newest family,

Max Horvath and
his wife Julie Horvath.



(clapping)

- [Ann] Yay!

- And a little something
in the oven Horvath.

(loud laughter)

- Thank you ladies and
gentleman, thank you, Schneider.

And thank you, Max.

- Believe me, it
was my pleasure.

(loud laughter)

- Come on you guys.

You get my room.

I get Alex's and
he gets the sofa.

- [Julie] Okay.

So Ma, what's for dinner?

- Oh, fried pickles
and whipped cream.

- It sounds delicious.

- I knew you'd like it.

- You know, Ms.
Romano, this is really

a nice compliment to you.

Max working with the airlines,

he could've had their
vacation anywhere,

any part of the world, but
they chose here instead.

They must be broke.

(loud laughter)

- You've got it.

(doorbell rings)

Oh, I wonder who that could be?

- Ms. Romano, I'm sorry,

I forgot to tell you.

While you were out,
these two people called.

They said they're coming by.

Orville and Emily.

- Oh no.

THey're the people
from the retirement hotel.

- They sounded nice.

- Yeah, well they are,
that's the trouble you see.

Every time they come
over, they try to get us

to put on a show in their hotel.

- A show?

(doorbell rings)

- Yeah, and it takes
hours and hours

and hours of work.

Schneider, do me a favor.

Would you answer the door
and make some excuse?

(Schneider laughs)

- Nah, the last time I
tried to get rid of them,

Emily, she put one of
them Tollhouse cookies

in my mouth and well, she
had a big bag of them, you know.

- [Katherine] Annie, it's me.

- It's Mom.

Thank goodness.

Hi Mom.

(loud laughter)

- Hi, honey.

Guess who I found in the hall?

- Yeah.

- You remember
Orville and Emily?

- I sure do, hi, hi.

- Told you she wouldn't
be glad to see us.

- Get out of here.

- Okay.

- No, no.

I didn't mean get out, I meant

Please come in Ma.

- Hi there, folks.

- Hi, Mr. Schneider.

I bet she's got some
cookies in the bag.

(loud laughter)

- Everybody, let's
sit down, sit down.

- What's in the bag, Emily?

(Ann clears throat)

- Oh Alex, I'm
sorry, I'm so rude.

Orville and Emily, I'd
like you to meet Alex.

- Hi, I talked to you
on the phone before.

- A kid.

Has it been that long
since they've done a show?

- A show, a show!

You mean we're
gonna do another show?

Oh Annie, where did
I put my tap shoes?

You know, I've been practicing.

I've been practicing...
- Mom, Mom, Mom!

- Alex, ask her
what's in the bag.

- Orville and Emily, it sure
is a pleasure seeing you,

it's nice of you to drop by

but you see, my daughter
is here from out of town

and the poor thing's expecting

and I have to take care of her.

- Boy, something sure smells
warm and chocolatey in here.

Everybody open their bag?

(loud laughter)

- Alright, a moment
of truth, okay?

I have gotten so very busy that

I just don't have time
to do a show for you.

- Wait just a minute,
you don't think

that we came over here to
ask you to do a show for us?

- Of course not.

We just dropped by to tell
you that Homer passed away.

- I'm sorry.

When's the funeral?

- Last December.

(loud laughter)

- He died December
23rd at 5:52 PM.

I won the pool.

(loud laughter)

- Poor soul, he departed
without getting to see

the New Year show
you put on for us.

- Emily, they didn't do
a show for us last year.

Come to think of
it, they didn't do one

the year before either.

- Orville, look, the reason...

- Well, maybe next year.

Hopefully we'll still
be around to enjoy it.

- Well if I'm not here,

I sure hope you
are here to enjoy it.

- Oh come on, Annie, we
can do a show this weekend.

- No, Mom, we can't.

- Yes, we can.

Let me see what's
in the bag will ya?

(loud laughter)

Alright, I'm sorry, I'm weak.

(bellows in joy)

- I'm very, very
sorry about Homer

but you see, I've got
my own company now

and I'm so busy,
I don't have time

to do a show for you.

- A show?

Emily, Orville, hi.

- Oh, hi.

- It's Barbara, Julie, and Max.

- Oh hi, hey Emily, look
Barbara's got herself pregnant.

- Oh no, no, I'm
not, this is Julie.

- Oh.

- Hi.

- Hi, Mark, how are ya?

- Fine.
[Ann] Hi, Mark.

- Who is this young fella?

- Emily and Orville,
this is Mark Royer,

Barbara's fiance.

- How do you do?

- Well I'm sure glad to meet you

and I'm sure glad
you're gonna marry her.

That's the
honorable thing to do.

(loud laughter)

- It's Julie that's
pregnant, you dope.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You used to kiss me like that.

- Right, let that
be a lesson to you.

(loud laughter)

- Hey, maybe Mark
can be in a show.

- Schneider...
- Show, what show?

- Hey, are we gonna do
a show again, that's great.

- Max...

- Oh hey, hey, I could
play the harmonica.

(makes harmonica
sound with mouth)

- Mom, Mom, that's terrific.
- Do what show?

- Hold it.

Everybody, just hold it.

Look I just don't
have the time, now

if you all want to
do a show, feel free.

- Mom, it wouldn't be
any fun without you.

(doorbell rings)

- Thank you.

- Now who, what's
the legal capacity

of this room anyway?

- Ms. Romano, what
kind of a show would it be

without a good-looking
woman like you in it?

Holy cow, who's that chick?

(loud laughter)

- That's Mom's business partner.

- Can she sing?

- Hi Francine,
how are you doing?

- I'm fine, Barbara.

Ann, I brought these by for you.

- Terrific.

- My goodness,
what's going on here?

- Well you see, it's
a little complicated.

This is Emily and
Orville and they live at

the retirement hotel
where we've put on shows.

- What shows?

- Oh yes, I heard about that.

That sounded like fun.

- Yeah, they are fun.

Would yo like to be in one?

- Well, I don't know.

- My Annie says she's too busy.

- Really?

Well, I suppose some
of us are more giving

of our time than others.

- Maybe you could
be in our show.

Do you have any talent?

- Well, there must
be something I can do.

I do most things well.

- You can just stand there
as far as I'm concerned.

(loud laughter)

- Since you put it that
way, how can I say no?

- Orville, sit.

(loud laughter)

- Max and I can do a duet.

- Hey, my folks made
me take a dance lesson.

- Hey listen, I know
a bunch of new jokes.

Maybe I could MC the thing.

- I can't just stand
there and do nothing.

Or can I?

(loud laughter)

- I could play the drums.

- I could find out
what's going on here.

- Oh sweetheart, you're
going to be the best, really.

- Oh Emily, we are
gonna have a great show.

Sure gonna miss you, Ms. Romano.

- It's gonna be fun.
