This will be the high point of my day.
It's all downhill from here.

:02:11
That's my wife, Carolyn.
:02:14
See the way the handle on those pruning
shears matches her gardening clogs?

:02:19
- That's not an accident.

:02:22
[Man]
Hush. Bitsy!

:02:25
- Hush. What is wrong with you?
- That's our next-door neighbor, Jim.

:02:28
-And that's his lover, Jim.
- [Both Arguing]

:02:32
- You spoil her.
Bitsy, no bark. Come inside now.
- Me?

:02:36
- Come on. Yes. Inside.
- [Carolyn] Good morning, Jim!

:02:39
Good morning, Carolyn.
:02:41
I love your tie!
That colour!

[Horn Honking]
:03:29
Jane, honey, are you trying
to look unattractive?

:03:33
- Yes.
- Congratulations.
You've succeeded admirably.

:03:37
Lester, could you make me
a little later, please,
because I'm not quite late enough.

:03:41
[ Mutters, Indistinct ]
:03:44
Nice going, Dad.
:03:46
[Lester Narrating] Both my wife and
daughter think I'm this gigantic loser.

:03:51
And they're right.
:03:54
I have lost something.
:03:57
I'm not exactly sure
what it is.
