hey how'd you like me to stick that

vacuum up your

nose

hi well I guess there's no need to ask

how your day was I can sum it up in two

words should I cover my ears brand

brindle I should have covered my ears

what did Brandon do at the office this

time well for the last 3 months I've

been working on a project for a food

company I finally figured out a way for

a robotic arm to Stu a Pomo inside an

olive without bruising the olive

see Dad I hope you don't mind if I don't

brag about this at

school so as soon as Brandon found out

about it he ran right into the

president's office took full credit I'm

not

surprised the man is a

worm how' you like me to stick that

vacuum up his

nose well Brandon's wife is no Prize

Package either she came over here this

afternoon with that usual irritating

greeting of hers

H right Vicky oh and then she asked me

if I had gone off my diet she said my

cheeks were starting to look like a

chipmunk storing nuts for the

decade I mean can you imagine Bonnie

calling me chubby I mean if you hung a

cabin under her stomach she make a

wonderful goodye

blimp yeah what a team they make Tweedle

poison my dad wants to borrow your dad's

paint sprayer he's going to paint our

garage your dad is a

[Music]

to say I didn't say it my father said

it Harriet she's just kidding I mean you

know what my parents think of your dad

and mom if they hung a cabin under your

mom's stomach she make a wonderful good

play did your father say that too no my

mother said

that well I'm going right home to tell

my parents your parents what a couple

Dumber well I can't believe it after

what Vicki told Harry we said about her

parents I thought they'd be banging our

door down well maybe we lock out and

we'll never see them again don't count

on it honey the brindle always come back

like moldy

grout The Moldy Grouch his back

uh Jamie why don't you take Vicky to

your room okay come on Vicki they don't

want us to hear the kind of language we

hear every day on the

playground Brandon we were just talking

about you I'll bet you were and I have a

pretty good idea what you were saying

Harriet told us everything that you said

about being Bonnie and I have never been

so insulted Bonnie has but I

haven't Brandon we can explain forget it

Bonnie is so upset she's home lying in

bed eating her Hideout not to mention a

corn beef sandwich listen Brandon would

an apology make any difference are you

apologizing no I just want to know if it

make any

difference BR it's all just a big

misunderstanding now Vicki just took

some things out of context do you mean

you did not say my wife looked like the

Goodyear

blimp well uh I deeply resent that I

happen to love that blimp

[Music]

all right Brandon look no you look you

think you are so special just because

you have a perfect little family and a

perfect little house and perfect little

teeth how dare you march in here and

call us perfect you think it's tough

living next door to us how do you think

we feel living next door to Mr and Mrs

white bread well no more I've had it No

More Mr Nice Guy this is the end this

neighborhood is no longer big enough for

both of us it's time to move you mean

you're going to move not me

you maybe he's right honey maybe the

only answer is to move I love this house

I I love this neighborhood it's perfect

I don't want to move not us honey the

brindle they would never move it would

take an act of God to get them out of

here

yeah yeah yeah you do have perfect

little teeth I

[Music]

worth a try to get rid of the brindle

yeah you know I'll be sorry Harriet's

leaving it's like having a huge Ward all

your life and when it's gone you kind of

miss

it so far so good Brandon was sneaking a

peek out the window saw me putting up

the for sale sign he's on his way over

you I saw you posting a for sale sign

little heart out it's true how sad

be moving even before we find a buyer

because they okay now stop you promised

department Brandon forget you heard that

heard what come on don't play innocent

with us we know how sharp your little

mind is we know that you probably

already caught on of course I've already

caught on but just to confirm it what

have I caught on

him in spite of the way that we feel

about one another we wouldn't want him

to lose his home lose my home Joanie

Joanie that report was stamped

confidential well then tell me

confidentially no You' never believe it

I'll believe it I'll believe it okay

Brandon we were thinking about uh adding

a room to our house h so I went to the

city building department to get

information on codes and stuff uhhuh and

that's when I accidentally saw the

report on the inspector's desk uh what

report well about the new earthquake

fault they've just discovered earthquake

fault where you're standing on

it it runs under both of our houses in

fact under the whole neighborhood now

wait a minute wait a minute why should I

panic they're always predicting

earthquakes might not happen for another

100 years sure and it could also happen

tomorrow yeah and they say when this one

hits it's going to be the big

one okay Vicki now

now oh

No this must be the big

one we're all going to die

hope she doesn't shake the house

down it's the big

[Music]

one please pay attention to this

important

[Music]

message this must be it the big one

I'm a dead man and what makes it worse

is I W be able to take my wife with

me okay you can stop now

[Music]

Vicki oh it stopped well I I guess that

wasn't the big one just sort of the

warmup for the big one

that was

horrible my entire life flashed before

my eyes that would be

horrible I've got to get out of this

neighborhood I'm going to put my house

up for sale too right away Brandon

Brandon Brandon you can't do that if the

neighbors get suspicious and start

asking questions everybody will want to

put their house up for sale and property

values are dropping a rock you're right

you're right we have to keep it a secret

yet so just stay cool after we sell our

house then you can put your house up for

sale

I'm to afraid please let me sell my

house first please

[Music]

please Brandon let go of me how can you

stoop so low this is nothing i' stoop

much

lower okay Brandon I guess if you're

pulling rank on me because you're my

boss at work I guess I have no choice

huh right right uh that's what I'm doing

I I'm pulling

rank I'll put your for saale sign in

front of my

house we did it honey it's byebye

Brendle honey you're a

genius you know honey only brand and

Brendle would be dumb enough to believe

that that was really the big one

thanks a lot

[Music]

Vicki I win again Vicki that's three

straight shutouts in a row you're no fun

to play with the only one who's good

enough to play against you is

yourself play against myself

Vicky what was that noise my automatic

timer it's time to put the laundry in

the

washer oh well this time don't search my

shorts the last time you did that I

couldn't bend down to tie my

shoes hi Jamie oh hi Harriet I really

feel bad about you having to

move why are you smiling oh I'm just

trying to hide my real

feelings we need moving I don't know

when I don't care I'm going to hate

moving no you love it I mean think of

all the new keyholes you'll be able to

peep through all the new doors you'll be

able to listen at you'll be in snoopers

heaven it won't be heaven without you

Jamie oh I know it's going to be tough

but sooner or later you'll find someone

else who's handsome and

Macho I don't want someone who's

handsome in Macho I want

you besides I've invested 3 years in

this

relationship Harriet there is no

relationship that's what hurts I made

such a bad investment

[Music]

have you seen my blue party I'm on get

honey

thanks hi there just thought I'd return

these I won't be needing them anymore

but don't tell me you decide not to

move don't be silly the house is

salt well congratulations and uh believe

me Brandon when I say I couldn't be

happier well how did you sell it so fast

it was only on the market for 3 days

well I happened to run into a real

estate lb and I gave her an incentive to

sell it fast what kind of incentive I

bribed her it turns out we have

something in common

greed by the way here's the key at the

front door the new owner said he might

want to come by and check a few things

out and I'm not going to be home so I

said I leave with you okay oh sure all

right I better get over to the real

estate office and sign those contracts

before the big one hits well I guess

this is it the time for good friends to

say

goodbye plus too bad we're not good

friends

[Music]

well he's gone it's party time break out

the

bubbly oh but honey aren't you just a

wee bit guilty about driving the brindle

away with that phony earthquake

story oh yeah I guess I do have some

lingering guilt okay that passed let's

get this celebration on the road here

come on yeah B

Vicki this water isn't very cold may I

have an ice

[Music]

cube an ice

cube

[Music]

thanks what is that

noise sounds like somebody's tumble

drying a cat

[Music]

hey man what's

Shing my stomach what can I do for

you I don't think you can hear you can

you do something about the

music Sorry man this is as loud as it

can I may turn it

off are you sure you have the right

house where the Lo I mean who are

you dad do

verman Jamie That is

rude might be true but it's rude no I

mean he's that's rock star you know

verman in the slee

ba*ls he you recognize me huh I'm not

even in

costume to what do we owe this honor Mr

verman why I just came to pick up the

key neighbor

[Music]

food

neighbor well yeah we just bought the

brindle pad next door oh

no how do you think I feel you think

it's going to be a lot of laughs living

next door to Azie and

Harriet man this is great I'm going to

be living next to a rock star hey verman

you got any kids uh two chich and Sean

they're out in the van oh come on Vicki

let's go meet them Dave Rick don't be

thanks

man you know we just want to make a few

measurements make sure the place has got

enough space to uh sleep the whole band

the whole band

[Music]

oh D what are we going to do I mean the

brindle were unbearable but these people

are unspeakable oh honey I don't know

well you better think of something

because if they're moving in I'm moving

out well the only thing I can think of

is to convince the brindle to stay how

are you going to do that you've got them

convinced that their house is going to

be demolished by an

earthquake well there's one thing that

motivates Brandon even more than fear

what's that greed

[Music]

[Laughter]

hi guys I came to pick up the key uh we

don't have it Brandon the creature who

bought your house didn't return it ah

nice guy isn't he I'm not sure the

purple lips go with the green eyes

Shadow right but I bet he's going to be

a lot of fun to live next door too yeah

what what what are you talking about I

thought you guys were moving oh no no

brand and then we uh we changed our

minds are you crazy what about the big

one well if it knocks our house down I

guess we'll we'll just build a a bigger

more expensive one with what you can't

afford that I know I k*lled your last

raise well money's no problem now I mean

what with royalties and oops there I go

again I sense that you two are keeping

something from me oh Ted I knew we

couldn't hide something from a shrewd

fellow like Brandon yeah you're right

honey you're right okay

branded well come clean I was wrong I

found out the reason they did that

geological report wasn't because of

earthquakes oh

no it was because of

oil oil barrels of it right under our

feet no

yeah they're going to tap the main pool

by slant drilling under both of our

houses well he means our house and the

new owners boy did they buy at the right

time they're going to be millionaires oh

no oh yeah do they know about this no we

just found out oh good that gives me

time to sneak back into the real estate

place and burn the

contracts maybe I can figure a way to

keep their

deposit I don't know whether to laugh or

to cry well honey just be happy that it

worked and we're rid of vermin and the

SAS ba*ls

yeah I was really worried about the

influence they might have on Jamie and

Vicky no I wasn't honey I mean Jamie is

too much of a levelheaded kid to let

himself or Vicki get influenced by a

bunch of

[Music]

[Applause]

weirdos oh no hey CH and TR he gave us

new threads and new name yeah he's d

Moon
