- [ Lester ] You don't think
it's weird and kind of fascist?
- Possibly.

:06:03
- But you don't want to be unemployed.
- All right.

:06:05
Let's just all sell our souls
and work for Satan 'cause
it's more convenient that way.

:06:07
Oh, could you be a little bit
more dramatic, please, huh?

:06:10
So, we finally
got new neighbors.

:06:13
You know. If the Lomans
Had let me represent them
Instead of the Real Estate King.

:06:17
that house would never
have sat on the market for six months.

:06:20
Well, they were still mad at you
for cutting down their sycamore.

:06:22
Their sycamore?
Come on.

:06:25
A substantial portion of the root
structure was on our property.

:06:28
You know that.
How can you call it their sycamore?

:06:30
I wouldn't have the heart to just cut
down something if it wasn't partially
mine, which, of course, it was.

:06:35
......[Stereo: Instrumental]
:06:38
[Woman Singing]
...Bali Ha'I...

:06:41
... They call you......
:06:44
-......[Continues. Indistinct]
- Mom, do we always have to listen
to this elevator music?

:06:50
No. No, we don't.
:06:53
And as soon you've prepared a nutritious
yet savory meal that I'm about to eat,

:06:57
you can listen
to whatever you like.

:07:02
So, Janie, how was school?
:07:06
It was okay.
:07:08
Just okay?
:07:11
No, Dad.
It was spectacular.

:07:18
Well, you want to know
how things went in my job today?

:07:21
They've hired
this efficiency expert,

:07:23
this really friendly guy
named Brad--

:07:26
How perfect is that?
And he's basically there
to make it seem they're justified...

:07:30
in firing somebody,
because they couldn't just come
out and say that, could they?

:07:33
No, no. That would just be too honest.
So they've asked us--

:07:37
[ Chuckling ] You couldn't
possibly care less, could you?

:07:40
What do you expect?
:07:42
You can't all of a sudden be my best
friend just because you had a bad day.

:07:48
I mean, hello, you've barely even
spoken to me for months.

:07:57
Oh, what?
You're "Mother of the Year"?
