Gee, this is interesting country.

I didn't know there were so many farms in Ohio.

Oh, sure.

Are you sure this is Ohio?

Well, it better be. We just left Pennsylvania and we're headed for

Fifty miles!

to Aunt Sally's pecan praline.

Well, we're closing in on her.

The first sign we saw said 200 miles to Aunt Sally's pecan praline.

I'm surprised she has time to make pralines. She's so busy making signs.

You know, I've been thinking about those pralines for so many miles, I just

gotta have some.

How about something to eat? I'm hungry.

Oh, we gotta get more mileage today, Fred.

Gotta get more mileage today, Fred.

But honey, we're all hungry.

Well, there'll be plenty of good places to eat off ahead.

Forty -nine miles to Aunt Sally's Pecan Pralines.

Is there anything left in that lunch basket, Ethel?

A stale sandwich and a grape.

Let me have the grape.

Honey, when are you going to stop and get something to eat? We're hungry.

I'll stop at the next decent town we come to. Oh, you've been saying that for

the last hour.

Yeah. I don't think I'll make it. Me either.

Hey, we still got that stale sandwich.

Don't bother looking in the cupboard, Mother Hubbard. It's bare.

Fred, when did you eat that sandwich?

When you were taking that nap.

Oh, honestly, it's getting so it's not safe to shut your eyes around.

Wait a minute. One mile to Aunt Sally's Pecan Pralines.

That's where we're going to have dinner.

Oh, I can't make a meal out of pecan praline. Well, we can at least buy a bag

munch on until Mr.

Mileage here decides to stop for dinner.

Well, that's a thought.

Anyway, we just got to drop in on Aunt Sally. I feel like she's an old friend.

300 yards to Aunt Sally's.

200 yards.

100 yards.

Just around the bend.

You have just passed Aunt Sally.

Where was it? I didn't see a thing. Stop the car, Ricky. Back up.

Okay.

Must be that shed over there.

There's a sign on the door, but I can't see it from here.

Drive on.

What'd the sign say?

Out of business.

I knew Aunt Sally was spending too much money on those signs.

Hey, I think I see some lice.

Oh, I hope it's a cafe.

It is.

I hope it's a nice one.

Oh, we're going to stop there no matter what it's like. Really?

Yeah.

Boy,

this place doesn't look any too hot, does it?

Well, we're here now, so let's give it a try, huh? Oh, yeah. Food, food.

Oh, at least they got a great big selection of food.

Yeah.

Hey, I know what I want.

One of those steak sandwiches with some French fries and coleslaw. Oh, a steak

sandwich. Hi, folks.

Welcome to One Oak.

Welcome to One Oak.

Taverns and cafe.

Yes, sir. George Skinner at your service. Hello.

How you doing?

Want a beef?

Well, I think I'll have the steak sandwich rare with the French fries.

Steak sandwich, I'll have that, too.

I'll have the same.

Me, too.

We're all out of steak sandwiches.

Oh, yeah?

Gee, I have a mouth all set for one. Yeah.

Well?

Well, I think I'll have the roast beef rare with a baked potato, then.

Roast beef, that's for me.

I'll vote for that.

Make it four.

We're out of roast beef, too.

Well, let me see here.

Hey, that fried chicken with biscuits sounds good.

Any point in running that chicken around the table?

All out.

Well, look, we're going at this thing all wrong. Why don't you just tell us

you have and then we'll order?

All righty.

How about the specialty of the house?

What's that?

A cheese sandwich.

A cheese sandwich? Is that all you've got?

I don't feel like a cheese sandwich.

Oh, now, come on, Post. I can't wait all night.

What would you like?

The name of the nearest good restaurant.

Lucy, please.

In fact, there is a place ten miles up the highway called the Golden Drumstick.

The sign says turkey dinner with all the trimmings, dressing, cranberry sauce,

bean salad, and homemade peach shortcake.

One dollar.

One dollar?

And only ten miles from here, you said, just ten miles? Right on the highway.

Homemade peach shortcake. That's for me. Well, thanks for telling us about it.

How can they afford to serve all that for one dollar?

It's impossible.

That's why they went broke.

And it's not another thing clean Cincinnati.

Well, Groop, what do you say?

Well, I'm so hungry I can't go another mile.

Oh, me either.

All right, Mr. Skinner. Four specialties of the house. Coming up.

They're good.

Well, what can you do to a cheese sandwich?

I, uh, hope you didn't go to too much trouble.

Oh, no trouble. I just buy them from the salesman when he comes around.

I think.

Let's get out of here, huh? Yes. How much we owe you?

Well, let's see.

That's four specialties of the house.

Here you are.

$4 .80?

Oh. Sandwiches are a dollar apiece.

Eighty cents is the entertainment tax.

Entertainment tax?

Yep.

There's your change.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Happy hunting.

Oh, dear. What a character.

Baby, dear.

Yes.

Oh, I sure hate to drive all the way to Cincinnati now.

Well, I'd take the wheel, Rick, but I'm too sleepy. Well, let me drive, Ricky.

Well, I don't know, honey. Oh, go on. There's no traffic now.

Okay, I'll keep an eye on you. Okay.

Bye.

of these across the country.

Oh, no.

Lucy! Well, I was only trying to help. I saw a sign that said, good

accommodations, good food, and an arrow saying, take this road. And somehow I

wound up back here.

Well, as long as we're here, we're in no condition to continue. We'll stay right

here. Here?

In Lower Slobovia?

Look, Fred, there's one good thing about this place.

It's here.

Let's make the best of it. Come on.

I'm afraid to go.

I'm afraid to go. I'm afraid to go.

Welcome back, folks.

I've been waiting for you.

What? That sign I put up really works, don't it?

It takes you right around the circle.

I'm excited to stay here for the night. Would you like a couple of cabins,

please? Well, I've only got one.

Price is $8.

You only got one left?

I've only got one. That's all I ever had.

Well, sleep four.

Well, let's take it. I'm tired.

Well, it's only $8. Well, I'll be 16.

$8 a couple.

$8, $16, who cares?

Oh, he is tired.

Well, back in the car, everybody.

Just a minute, just a minute, honey. As long as we're here, we might as well

stay here.

Sleep tight.

Thanks.

Who wants to sleep where?

Doesn't matter to me.

Me either.

All right, all right. We'll take the bunk.

Okay.

Okay, I'll take the bunk.

It's changing in that room, huh? Yeah.

I'll go first.

I forgot my toothpaste.

Hey,

honey, this bed doesn't look too bad. Hope it isn't hard.

This is a bed.

This isn't a bed, it's a canoe.

sleep up here.

Why not?

You know very well that high altitudes make my nose bleed.

Oh, why didn't you say so before?

Well, I wanted you to warm the bunk up for me.

What a sneaky character I'm, Mary. Come on. All right, all right. Get in there.

You don't like it being so tricky.

laughter laughter

your own side of the bed.

Well, that's easier said than done.

Push the bed back.

in Chicago.

Let's try to get some sleep. Maybe that was the last one.

Where's my pillow?

Right here.

Okay.

I can't sleep in this hole.

Rick. What?

Our mattress is just like that at home. We'll trade with you.

Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, I know. Come on. Come on. We'll trade.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Oh! What's going on? Get up, Fred.

What? Get up. We're going to trade with them. Get up for what? Come on. Come on.

Come on. Oh, what?

Go. Hey.

Yeah, but it took years of practice.

The baby's crying. See what's going on.

$16 for this. I'm going to sue him for renting it to us. Yeah. You mean we're

going to sneak out of here? Damn right we're going to sneak out of here.

Fred, wake up!

Wake up!

into the car. What's the matter? I don't know. Somebody tied a string there.

Busted! Yeah.

It's all right.

But he had a burglar alarm hooked up in there.

I feel like I'm breaking out of prison.

Let's get out of here. Come on, Jack. Come on. Jump in, honey.

Oh, no.

What's the matter?

Our steering wheel is missing.

It's gone. Our steering wheel is gone.

You folks lose something.

You give us back our steering wheel.

Your steering wheel? I don't know what you're talking about. You do, too. You

took it off just to keep us here.

Well, you got an awful suspicious mind to think that we'd try to get away in

middle of the night. What?

Well, everybody does.

You know, if you don't like that cabin, you don't have to pay me the $16.

Really?

That's a rotten shame.

Your steering wheel being stolen.

You know, I just happen to have an X1 here.
