[Willie, Buddy, and Annie are playing Monopoly as Doug walks
in] Annie (reading card): Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not
pass Go,
do not collect $200. Willie: Aaaaah.... I got you right where I want you, now. Doug: Now, uh, if I could have your attention for a minute? Annie: Well, since I'm behind bars, you've got mine. Doug: No, this will only take a second. Your mother and I were
talking
about going up to the farm... for Thanksgiving. Annie: Farm? Buddy: Oh, that's a good idea. You two haven't been away by
yourselves
in a long time. Doug: We were talking about all of us going. Willie: Oh! Fantastic! It's gorgeous up there now. Buddy: No way, I have heavy week-end schedule planned! Annie: Hey, wait a moment! Do we own a farm? Doug: Willie does. Annie (to Willie): Didn't know you were a man of property...
except for
Boardwalk and Park Place, of course.
[Kate is wiping dishes with a towel] Kate: I knew we forgot to pack something... Willie: What? Kate: The dishwasher. Willie: Awww... shame on you, Mom. Kate: Give yourself a coupla days. Willie: Oh, how would you like to have some fresh cornbread? Kate: We just finished lunch! Willie: I know, but I just found Hattie's recipe. I think I'll
give it
a whirl. Kate: Whirl away. Voice from upstairs: Ahhhh! Kate: That's Buddy! Annie: Don't panic! That shriek is only Buddy's way of telling
you that
there's no hot water in the shower. Kate: Oh, she's forgotten. This hot-water tank can only do one
job at a
time, and just now it's done the dishes. Annie: But -- but she's all soaped up! Willie: Tell her about the Pioneers. Annie:You tell her. She's already showing signs of
blowdryer withdrawal.
