[cheering]
Hey, who's winning over there?
I don't know, but
I'm just getting ready
to send a friend to
the bone yard here.
Whack-o. Uh-huh.
Well, you better hope
I don't draw a double 5.
Mm-hmm. Ah!
Don't waste your
energy or my time
because I got the
stomper right here!
Oh, man!
What are you gonna do about it?
Listen, don't eat
all of that dessert.
You know, your
mother's working late,
so save some, please.
Okay. Big game on
Sunday, huh, fellas?
Yes, and some of these
fools sitting at this table
think that the Giants are going
to stomp all over the Eagles.
Yes, these fools
believe that the Giants
are going all the way
to the Super Bowl.
So, Dad, when do you
want us to come over?
Come ever? What time?
I'm sorry. The Huxtable
Stadium is all sold out.
Oh.
Unless, um...
you all want to work
the refreshment stand.
I got it. I'll bring
the Hoagies.
And I will bring
the orange sodas.
It seems as though two
seats just opened up.
I thought they would.
But they're somewhere
behind the couch.
Behind the couch?
Okay, we'll bring
plenty of potato chips.
We're gonna bring bean dip.
You bring bean dip,
and you're gonna sit
where people sit who eat beans.
I'll tell you what.
In that case, two
seats just opened up
on the sofa beside me.
Well, I sure wish I could
be here with you guys.
Well, nobody's talking to you,
Mr. I Have Tickets
On The 40 Yard Line.
Hey, I can't help it. My
girl's dad got us comps.
I'm not gonna turn them down.
But, hey, I'll be here
with you in spirit.
[Sondra] Elvin! We're here!
That's the call to glory.
Yes. I shall return.
[Sondra] Thanks
for the ride, Nancy.
And don't worry.
Everything's gonna
work out great.
Oh, I hope so.
We'll see you on Sunday.
Okay. You guys are so sweet.
Hi, Elvin. Hi.
Bye.
Bye. Say hello to Walter for me.
Okay. Okay.
So, uh, muffin, what
are we doing Sunday?
Well, Nancy and
Walter found the only
affordable apartment in Soho,
and we're helping them move.
Sondra... Sondra, why did
you make a commitment like that
without checking with me first?
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Could you help Nancy and
Walter move on Sunday?
No.
Well, honey, I know you're
watching a football game.
No, no. It's not
any football game.
This is the clash of the titans.
Uh, didn't they clash last week?
Those were different titans.
Since when do they have
to move on a Sunday?
Walter's a man. I'm surprised
at him. He should know better.
Honey, they have to be out by
Sunday or pay an extra month's rent.
Okay. Don't they
have other friends?
Yes, they do, and
they will also be there.
Look, honey, I promise. It
won't take more than two hours.
But we have to be
out of there by 12:00.
We will be. And,
Elvin, remember,
they were kind
enough to help us move.
Yes, but we were
considerate enough
not to move during
football season.
[groans]
That has got to be the steepest
four flights in all of Brooklyn.
Elvin, it's not that bad.
Are you kidding? They should call
this building the Himalayan Arms.
Honey, just a minute.
Now listen, before
we go in there,
I just wanna say we're
not here to socialize, okay?
We're just going
to get them moved
so I can get back
and watch that game.
All right, but could you
try to not look so grim?
I am grim, Sondra.
You don't look so full
of chuckles yourself.
So who enjoys moving?
People who get paid for it.
[knock on door]
Come on in, it's open.
Honey, they're not even packed!
Thank goodness
you guys showed up.
Hi, guys. Hey, Walter.
It is so good to know
who your real friends are.
Oh? What happened
to Scott and Renee?
Yeah, where are they?
They were up all
night with the baby.
Yeah, my brother Joe bailed out.
Darn if they didn't call him
into work at the last minute.
So, Walter, who does that leave?
Us.
Us? As in the four of us?
That's it. [laughs]
We'll be with you
in just a minute.
Honey...
Honey, I told you this
was a playoff game!
I can't miss it! I
can't get stuck here!
Look, everyone else
bailed out of this project.
Why don't we?
Elvin, we are already here.
Okay. Why don't I tell
them you have, like,
walking pneumonia or something?
Act like your lungs
are full of fluid.
Okay, I'll do it.
[coughs]
Elvin, we are not going
to desert our friends
for some stupid football game.
Hey, guys, I made
coffee. Is decaf okay?
Great.
Decaf.
I come here to do real work,
they give me fake coffee.
Shall we get started?
Walter, uh, am I mistaken,
or do we still have a wee
bit of packing to do here?
It's really not as
much as it looks.
We should be
finished by dinnertime.
Dinnertime.
Right. Okay. Let me see here.
Um, I think we need
a little more... tape,
a few more boxes, and
uh, a little more help.
I'll be right back.
Elvin! Wait!
Elvin, where do you
think you're going?
I'm going back to your
house to get reinforcements.
I'm gonna get your
dad, Theo, and Martin.
All right, but I expect you
guys back here in 20 minutes.
Yeah. Don't worry about me.
Just go back in there
and try to talk them
out of taking half that stuff.
[no audible dialogue]
Hey! Dr. Huxtable! All right!
Supplies for the game. Yes!
Listen, a buddy of mine
drove all way up
from Atlantic City
just to bring these Hoagies
from the White House.
My boy.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Not until the game.
Not till the game.
Hey, I'm on my way.
Dad, thank your for letting me
borrow your stadium blanket.
Okay.
[sniffs] Hey! Hoagies!
No! No, no, no, no!
You can't touch those.
There for the people
in this stadium.
The stadium you're at,
you go to the concession stand,
get the foot-long hot dogs,
and by the time you get to
your seat, they'll be frozen.
Ha ha ha ha!
[doorbell rings] That's cool.
That's cool. No problem.
My brothers.
How are you?
That was a fast move, Elvin.
Well, it could be.
Uh, listen, guys, this
is what happened.
Everybody who was supposed
to be in on this move dropped out.
Now normally, I'd be worried.
I'd be in a desperate
situation. But I'm not
because I know I
have my brothers.
Hey, man, this brother
sympathizes with you,
but I got some
seats on the 40...
Hey, Elvin, you
need me? I'm there.
Thanks, Martin. Come on, Theo.
All right.
But I'm warning you, Elvin.
11:30, I vaporize.
Come on, brothers!
Let's galvanize!
Dad, we're going over
to move. Wanna help?
Do I want to help
him move his friends?
No indeed.
I have friends of my own.
They're all moved in.
Ah! Not until the game.
Until the game.
He didn't say what game.
I'm back.
Hey. Hi, Elvin.
Tape, boxes, and my brothers.
Guys, come on.
[Nancy] Theo,
Martin, how are you?
Hey, fellas.
I think I just passed
a mountain goat.
Hey, Walt.
It is so wonderful
of you to come.
With your help, we
should be out of here by...
Noon. These guys are
fast. Come on, guys, let's go.
What do you want us to do first?
Pack those boxes with stuff
and let's get them out of here.
What are you doing?
Those have to be
wrapped in newspaper.
Oh. Sorry.
Theo, you know better than that.
They have to be
wrapped individually.
Now give me those.
Guys, let's take this
table down to the truck.
Wanna take this
box? Martin, let's go!
Lift this with me, all right?
Ahh!
Guys, come on!
Sorry, Nancy.
Everything's okay.
Nothing's broke.
All right. Come on. Let's
get this down to the truck.
Up. Up.
Watch the door.
Watch the door. I see it.
Uhh! I thought I saw it.
Oh, Theo, wait.
What, you wanna put these
towels in newspaper, too?
No. The towels go in
the box marked "LC,"
for linen closet.
And the clothes go in
the box marked "BR"
for bedroom.
Okay. Well, I'll do
whatever you say until 11:30.
Martin, you can't
put the toiletries
in with the kitchen utensils.
Why not? They're
going to the same place.
What are you doing? I'm packing.
No, no! You just can't
dump those in there.
They have to be sorted
and wrapped properly.
See how Walter's doing it?
Walter?
Could... Could I
see you for a minute?
Guys? Meeting.
Look, Walter, we want to see
that football game today, right?
If we individually
gift-wrap every single item,
we'll be here till Christmas!
I see your point.
Uh, let me see
what I can do, okay?
Go, go, go, go!
Uh..
Uh, honey?
Do you think we can separate
this stuff later when we get there?
Oh, sweetie, if
we do it right now,
it'll be that much easier
when we get to the other end.
Well, I see your point.
Well, you heard what she said.
Don't you wanna see the game?
Yeah, I wanna see the game.
Why did you decide to move
on playoff Sunday anyway?
I didn't. I wanted to
move on Saturday,
but we had to go
and see her mother.
How come her mother
isn't here helping?
Because she's probably
at home watching the game.
Okay. Okay, guys,
look, I made my decision.
We're gonna get out of here,
and we're gonna get out
of here on time, all right?
Let's pack.
[all] Break!
Move! Move! Move!
What are you doing?
I wanna get out of here
in time for the game.
Oh, since when have you
been interested in football?
I've always liked football.
I have a feeling he's
been unduly influenced
by Martin and Elvin.
No, he hasn't.
He just wants to watch this game
like every other
male in America.
What is it about football?
It's like a religion
with you people.
It's the playoffs.
And that's more important
than your new home, Walter?
I've never seen
this side of you.
Honey, can we
talk about this later?
My buddies are
here to help us move,
and they've gotta be out
of here to see the game.
Come on. Let's hit it.
You know, that's men.
They want a nice home,
but they never give a
thought to how it gets that way.
That's women. Talking
when they should be packing.
Honey, you
packed this too light.
That's why this is
gonna take all day.
'Cause you don't
put enough stuff in it.
Put enough stuff in the box,
then it doesn't
take all day, right?
Makes sense.
Now you go a little faster.
[grunts]
Okay! All right!
[crash]
Hi, Mrs. Huxtable. Hi, sweetie.
Dr. Huxtable made me
chief of refreshments.
What does that mean?
That means whatever
he wants to drink or eat,
he has to get it from me.
Are you enjoying the football
game with Dr. Huxtable?
Yes. Did you play football?
No, I was a majorette.
What's a majorette?
Oh, a majorette is one
of those pretty girls
in the lovely skirt
who marches in front of the band
leading them onto the
field as she twirls her baton.
What's a baton?
That pretty shiny stick.
I've seen one of those.
You saw it? Here, I'll show you.
Start at the end of the field,
and the whistle would blow.
[imitates whistle blowing]
And we'd march on!
Knees up!
Come on, Olivia!
Knees up and throw that baton!
And throw that baton!
And throw that baton!
And stop!
Now you do your fanfare,
and the routine begins.
Leg wrap.
Toss and kick behind your back.
Toss it. Turn around.
Throw it under one leg,
catch it under the other leg.
Two-hand spin, toss it,
catch it behind your back,
and finish!
Look at all those
people, Mrs. Huxtable.
They love you!
They do.
Take it away, Olivia.
Toss it under one leg
and catch it under the other.
There you go!
Now toss it and catch
it behind your back.
There you go! There you go!
Olivia, you'd make
a terrific majorette.
No, I don't think so.
I already have a football job.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
Dr. Crusher, middle linebacker.
[grunts]
Aarrgghh!
Aarrgghh!
Aarrgghh!
All right, here we go.
Let's get the sofa. Okay.
Oh, wait, wait, wait. Martin,
five minutes till the game starts.
Oh, man. By the time we finish
moving this stuff over there,
we'll blow the entire game.
Walter, where's Sondra?
The girls went for some
boxes and newspapers.
We should have sent
them for some food.
I haven't had a bit to eat
since we had the decaf.
I'll be right back.
Where you going?
To get some food?
Who cares about food?
I'm going down to the
truck to get the television set.
Picture's full of snow.
Something's wrong
with your cable.
I forgot. I had the
service turned off.
Walter! What do
you want from me?
All right, let's not panic.
Have you got any
rabbit ears? No.
Do you have any wire? No.
Have you got a coat hanger?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, no. A little to the left.
Lift that foot again!
Lift that foot again!
We're getting it.
Hold it. That's it.
Oh, yeah.
Look at the size of that crowd.
Look at this guy
with four hot dogs.
It's probably Theo.
It is Theo. Theo!
Theo! Come back!
Oh, there we go. Here we go.
Interception!
Giants' ball. Whoa.
Walter, hold your leg up.
There's gonna be a replay.
You okay up there, Walt?
Oh, great, guys. Good.
[Sondra and Nancy
laughing] Uh-oh. Wife alert.
Let's wrap something.
You want me to help? Don't move.
Elvin, what are you doing?
Uh, what do you mean,
what am I doing? I'm packing.
You're wrapping paper plates?
Yeah, they're
kinda delicate, see?
And what are you doing?
I'm the antenna.
Look, will you guys
move the sofa?
We're gonna move it, honey,
just as soon as
we finish packing.
What happened?
Walter! I didn't move!
The power must have gone out.
Oh, great. They were two
days late in turning it on
and two hours
early in turning it off.
Come on. Would you
guys move the sofa, please?
Yeah. We'll move it.
No hurry now.
Hold it. Hold it.
Refreshment stand.
Yeah. Reserved seats.
Hoagies. Hoagies.
[grunts]
[Announcer on TV] The Eagles
have kept the Giants off guard all day.
Hey, what's the score?
Tied, 17 all.
How'd the moving go?
Great! We got all the stuff
out of the old apartment.
We got the truck
parked right outside.
Ha ha ha!
What did you do with the women?
Well, we got separated on
the way to the new apartment.
Yeah, and it wasn't easy.
Yeah, that Sondra is a
very aggressive driver.
Who are you?
Walter.
So you ditched the women?
No, no. We just said
we'd meet them over there.
We just didn't say when.
Yeah, and we'll just tell them
we had to stop for
gas, which we will.
Yeah. And then we'll tell
them we got stuck in traffic.
Which we'll find.
That should take care of
the second half pretty easy.
These guys are
pretty slick, aren't they?
I think you better
tell your friend
that unless he's ready to
cash in his insurance policy,
leave my food alone.
That's Walter, Dad. He's nice.
It's a reverse.
[Elvin] There he goes!
Go! Go! First down!
All right! All right!
Uh, hey! Martin, you see?
I told you the moment
we got separated,
they'd know to look for us here.
Peach blossom, I had
nothing to do with this.
She told me you would
be here, but I said, "No.
My husband's driving.
He knows his duty."
And I told her that anytime you
have more than two men in a car,
you have a car full of children,
and I happen to be
married to the ringleader.
Since we're here, we might as
well watch the rest of the game.
If we keep the truck any longer,
we'll have to pay a penalty.
We have to unload it now.
All right, muffin,
um, how about this?
Why don't you guys
go ahead in the truck,
and... and we'll follow
behind in the car?
Nice try, Elvin, but
I'm driving the truck.
And I am driving the children.
Guys, come on. Let's go.
Let's do this. I'm sorry.
Let's just do it.
I'll make a tape of
this for you guys, okay?
Walter.
What?
My name. It's Walter.
Who cares?
What's the score?
It's tied 17 all.
The Eagles have the
ball, third and seven.
They're gonna pass.
No, they're gonna
run with the ball.
It's third and seven, honey.
They're gonna pass.
No, he's gonna run.
[Announcer] It's a draw play
right up the middle.
Told ya.
Dad, got it?
Yeah. It's all set ready to run.
Can you believe these people?
They didn't want
to hear the score,
so they wouldn't let
us listen to the radio.
Well, they did
work awfully hard.
You're right. They do
deserve a nice snack.
Dad, do you have any
Hoagies left in the kitchen?
Plenty, plenty.
How about it, guys?
Thanks. Yeah. Right.
Say, listen, I gotta tell
you about the third quarter.
The guy throws...
[all] No! No! No!
Yo! Was that a game or
what? Did you see when...
[all] No! No! No!
Don't say anything till
they watch. Come on.
This guy... This
Unger is incredible.
He's 6'2", 220.
Something like that. He's huge.
They can't take him out.
Hey, I saw this game.
The Eagles won 31-30.
Olivia, honey, Daddy
and the other guys,
we tried all day not
to hear the score.
Sorry.
Well, that was fun.
That's all right.
Daddy loves you anyway.
Let's go get
something to eat, guys.
Aren't you guys
watching the game?
Nah, the game's not important.
You know what's
important, honey?
You're important.
You, too.
So is Denise, even
if she is at the library.
Having dinner with family and
friends, that's what's important.
Don't you guys want
to watch the tape?
No, Olivia kinda
ruined it for us.
She told us that the
Eagles won 31-30.
31-30?
[mumbles gibberish]
What? What? What?
I told her to tell
you a phony score.
Come on!
His name is Walter,
and he belongs to me.
You poor woman.

you go to the concession stand,
get the foot-long hot dogs,
and by the time you get to
your seat, they'll be frozen.
Ha ha ha ha!
[doorbell rings] That's cool.
That's cool. No problem.
My brothers.
How are you?
That was a fast move, Elvin.
Well, it could be.
Uh, listen, guys, this
is what happened.
Everybody who was supposed
to be in on this move dropped out.
Now normally, I'd be worried.
I'd be in a desperate
situation. But I'm not
because I know I
have my brothers.
Hey, man, this brother
sympathizes with you,
but I got some
seats on the 40...
Hey, Elvin, you
need me? I'm there.
Thanks, Martin. Come on, Theo.
All right.
But I'm warning you, Elvin.
11:30, I vaporize.
Come on, brothers!
Let's galvanize!
Dad, we're going over
to move. Wanna help?
Do I want to help
him move his friends?
No indeed.
I have friends of my own.
They're all moved in.
Ah! Not until the game.
Until the game.
He didn't say what game.
I'm back.
Hey. Hi, Elvin.
Tape, boxes, and my brothers.
Guys, come on.
[Nancy] Theo,
Martin, how are you?
Hey, fellas.
I think I just passed
a mountain goat.
Hey, Walt.
It is so wonderful
of you to come.
With your help, we
should be out of here by...
Noon. These guys are
fast. Come on, guys, let's go.
What do you want us to do first?
Pack those boxes with stuff
and let's get them out of here.
What are you doing?
Those have to be
wrapped in newspaper.
Oh. Sorry.
Theo, you know better than that.
They have to be
wrapped individually.
Now give me those.
Guys, let's take this
table down to the truck.
Wanna take this
box? Martin, let's go!
Lift this with me, all right?
Ahh!
Guys, come on!
Sorry, Nancy.
Everything's okay.
Nothing's broke.
All right. Come on. Let's
get this down to the truck.
Up. Up.
Watch the door.
Watch the door. I see it.
Uhh! I thought I saw it.
Oh, Theo, wait.
What, you wanna put these
towels in newspaper, too?
No. The towels go in
the box marked "LC,"
for linen closet.
And the clothes go in
the box marked "BR"
for bedroom.
Okay. Well, I'll do
whatever you say until 11:30.
Martin, you can't
put the toiletries
in with the kitchen utensils.
Why not? They're
going to the same place.
What are you doing? I'm packing.
No, no! You just can't
dump those in there.
They have to be sorted
and wrapped properly.
See how Walter's doing it?
Walter?
Could... Could I
see you for a minute?
Guys? Meeting.
Look, Walter, we want to see
that football game today, right?
If we individually
gift-wrap every single item,
we'll be here till Christmas!
I see your point.
Uh, let me see
what I can do, okay?
Go, go, go, go!
Uh..
Uh, honey?
Do you think we can separate
this stuff later when we get there?
Oh, sweetie, if
we do it right now,
it'll be that much easier
when we get to the other end.
Well, I see your point.
Well, you heard what she said.
Don't you wanna see the game?
Yeah, I wanna see the game.
Why did you decide to move
on playoff Sunday anyway?
I didn't. I wanted to
move on Saturday,
but we had to go
and see her mother.
How come her mother
isn't here helping?
Because she's probably
at home watching the game.
Okay. Okay, guys,
look, I made my decision.
We're gonna get out of here,
and we're gonna get out
of here on time, all right?
Let's pack.
[all] Break!
Move! Move! Move!
What are you doing?
I wanna get out of here
in time for the game.
Oh, since when have you
been interested in football?
I've always liked football.
I have a feeling he's
been unduly influenced
by Martin and Elvin.
No, he hasn't.
He just wants to watch this game
like every other
male in America.
What is it about football?
It's like a religion
with you people.
It's the playoffs.
And that's more important
than your new home, Walter?
I've never seen
this side of you.
Honey, can we
talk about this later?
My buddies are
here to help us move,
and they've gotta be out
of here to see the game.
Come on. Let's hit it.
You know, that's men.
They want a nice home,
but they never give a
thought to how it gets that way.
That's women. Talking
when they should be packing.
Honey, you
packed this too light.
That's why this is
gonna take all day.
'Cause you don't
put enough stuff in it.
Put enough stuff in the box,
then it doesn't
take all day, right?
Makes sense.
Now you go a little faster.
[grunts]
Okay! All right!
[crash]
Hi, Mrs. Huxtable. Hi, sweetie.
Dr. Huxtable made me
chief of refreshments.
What does that mean?
That means whatever
he wants to drink or eat,
he has to get it from me.
Are you enjoying the football
game with Dr. Huxtable?
Yes. Did you play football?
No, I was a majorette.
What's a majorette?
Oh, a majorette is one
of those pretty girls
in the lovely skirt
who marches in front of the band
leading them onto the
field as she twirls her baton.
What's a baton?
That pretty shiny stick.
I've seen one of those.
You saw it? Here, I'll show you.
Start at the end of the field,
and the whistle would blow.
[imitates whistle blowing]
And we'd march on!
Knees up!
Come on, Olivia!
Knees up and throw that baton!
And throw that baton!
And throw that baton!
And stop!
Now you do your fanfare,
and the routine begins.
Leg wrap.
Toss and kick behind your back.
Toss it. Turn around.
Throw it under one leg,
catch it under the other leg.
Two-hand spin, toss it,
catch it behind your back,
and finish!
Look at all those
people, Mrs. Huxtable.
They love you!
They do.
Take it away, Olivia.
Toss it under one leg
and catch it under the other.
There you go!
Now toss it and catch
it behind your back.
There you go! There you go!
Olivia, you'd make
a terrific majorette.
No, I don't think so.
I already have a football job.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
Dr. Crusher, middle linebacker.
[grunts]
Aarrgghh!
Aarrgghh!
Aarrgghh!
All right, here we go.
Let's get the sofa. Okay.
Oh, wait, wait, wait. Martin,
five minutes till the game starts.
Oh, man. By the time we finish
moving this stuff over there,
we'll blow the entire game.
Walter, where's Sondra?
The girls went for some
boxes and newspapers.
We should have sent
them for some food.
I haven't had a bit to eat
since we had the decaf.
I'll be right back.
Where you going?
To get some food?
Who cares about food?
I'm going down to the
truck to get the television set.
Picture's full of snow.
Something's wrong
with your cable.
I forgot. I had the
service turned off.
Walter! What do
you want from me?
All right, let's not panic.
Have you got any
rabbit ears? No.
Do you have any wire? No.
Have you got a coat hanger?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, no. A little to the left.
Lift that foot again!
Lift that foot again!
We're getting it.
Hold it. That's it.
Oh, yeah.
Look at the size of that crowd.
Look at this guy
with four hot dogs.
It's probably Theo.
It is Theo. Theo!
Theo! Come back!
Oh, there we go. Here we go.
Interception!
Giants' ball. Whoa.
Walter, hold your leg up.
There's gonna be a replay.
You okay up there, Walt?
Oh, great, guys. Good.
[Sondra and Nancy
laughing] Uh-oh. Wife alert.
Let's wrap something.
You want me to help? Don't move.
Elvin, what are you doing?
Uh, what do you mean,
what am I doing? I'm packing.
You're wrapping paper plates?
Yeah, they're
kinda delicate, see?
And what are you doing?
I'm the antenna.
Look, will you guys
move the sofa?
We're gonna move it, honey,
just as soon as
we finish packing.
What happened?
Walter! I didn't move!
The power must have gone out.
Oh, great. They were two
days late in turning it on
and two hours
early in turning it off.
Come on. Would you
guys move the sofa, please?
Yeah. We'll move it.
No hurry now.
Hold it. Hold it.
Refreshment stand.
Yeah. Reserved seats.
Hoagies. Hoagies.
[grunts]
[Announcer on TV] The Eagles
have kept the Giants off guard all day.
Hey, what's the score?
Tied, 17 all.
How'd the moving go?
Great! We got all the stuff
out of the old apartment.
We got the truck
parked right outside.
Ha ha ha!
What did you do with the women?
Well, we got separated on
the way to the new apartment.
Yeah, and it wasn't easy.
Yeah, that Sondra is a
very aggressive driver.
Who are you?
Walter.
So you ditched the women?
No, no. We just said
we'd meet them over there.
We just didn't say when.
Yeah, and we'll just tell them
we had to stop for
gas, which we will.
Yeah. And then we'll tell
them we got stuck in traffic.
Which we'll find.
That should take care of
the second half pretty easy.
These guys are
pretty slick, aren't they?
I think you better
tell your friend
that unless he's ready to
cash in his insurance policy,
leave my food alone.
That's Walter, Dad. He's nice.
It's a reverse.
[Elvin] There he goes!
Go! Go! First down!
All right! All right!
Uh, hey! Martin, you see?
I told you the moment
we got separated,
they'd know to look for us here.
Peach blossom, I had
nothing to do with this.
She told me you would
be here, but I said, "No.
My husband's driving.
He knows his duty."
And I told her that anytime you
have more than two men in a car,
you have a car full of children,
and I happen to be
married to the ringleader.
Since we're here, we might as
well watch the rest of the game.
If we keep the truck any longer,
we'll have to pay a penalty.
We have to unload it now.
All right, muffin,
um, how about this?
Why don't you guys
go ahead in the truck,
and... and we'll follow
behind in the car?
Nice try, Elvin, but
I'm driving the truck.
And I am driving the children.
Guys, come on. Let's go.
Let's do this. I'm sorry.
Let's just do it.
I'll make a tape of
this for you guys, okay?
Walter.
What?
My name. It's Walter.
Who cares?
What's the score?
It's tied 17 all.
The Eagles have the
ball, third and seven.
They're gonna pass.
No, they're gonna
run with the ball.
It's third and seven, honey.
They're gonna pass.
No, he's gonna run.
[Announcer] It's a draw play
right up the middle.
Told ya.
Dad, got it?
Yeah. It's all set ready to run.
Can you believe these people?
They didn't want
to hear the score,
so they wouldn't let
us listen to the radio.
Well, they did
work awfully hard.
You're right. They do
deserve a nice snack.
Dad, do you have any
Hoagies left in the kitchen?
Plenty, plenty.
How about it, guys?
Thanks. Yeah. Right.
Say, listen, I gotta tell
you about the third quarter.
The guy throws...
[all] No! No! No!
Yo! Was that a game or
what? Did you see when...
[all] No! No! No!
Don't say anything till
they watch. Come on.
This guy... This
Unger is incredible.
He's 6'2", 220.
Something like that. He's huge.
They can't take him out.
Hey, I saw this game.
The Eagles won 31-30.
Olivia, honey, Daddy
and the other guys,
we tried all day not
to hear the score.
Sorry.
Well, that was fun.
That's all right.
Daddy loves you anyway.
Let's go get
something to eat, guys.
Aren't you guys
watching the game?
Nah, the game's not important.
You know what's
important, honey?
You're important.
You, too.
So is Denise, even
if she is at the library.
Having dinner with family and
friends, that's what's important.
Don't you guys want
to watch the tape?
No, Olivia kinda
ruined it for us.
She told us that the
Eagles won 31-30.
31-30?
[mumbles gibberish]
What? What? What?
I told her to tell
you a phony score.
Come on!
His name is Walter,
and he belongs to me.
You poor woman.
