All language subtitles for Ed s03e19 Babysitting

Previously on Ed. Frankie is cute and
funny and smart and sweet, and she's not

too screwed up to appreciate you.

Sounds like the perfect package to me.
Yes, I like you.

You do?

Very much.

Want to go to my place? Yeah.

Come on, Ed. You guys are so cute
together. When are you going to make

move? Yeah, act now while supplies last.

So Frankie and I slept together.

You would really think I would be better
at this by now.

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Well, Frankie's off.

In just four hours, she'll be back from
visiting her parents, telling them about

the great guy she's seen.

Hey, she and Leon are back together?

She left an opening. I had to take a
swing.

No, I understand.

Yeah.

It's official.

What's the matter?

Are we going to bed and breakfast our
first weekend without Sarah?

Get it. No dice on the babysitter? No,
apparently she signed an exclusive

contract with the Dorsky family from now
on. She wants their kids and their kids

alone. Ridiculous. I thought your
parents were coming out. He's got a blue

out loading the trunk.

He never lifts with his legs.

Carmella. Arts and crafts expo.

Well then, what about Eddie Poppins?

What? Come on. I believe Dionne Warwick
said it best when she said...

That's a principle.

Oh, yeah, I don't know.

Well, why not? Give me one good reason.

Well, one thing you quote, D .M.
Warwick, I want that around my kid. Come

I'm great with Sarah.

We know, but have you ever spent a lot
of time taking care of a child?

What?

What?

What?

What? The thought of you with a child is
just... Laughable? Yes. No, I didn't

say that.

Hey, a three -year -old is a handful.

Yeah, you've only seen Sarah's good
side. She's got a mean streak a mile

insist.

What do you think?

Well, he's no weirder than you are, and
you're her father.

Why not?

Yes! Eddie Poppins lives.

One condition.

What was that?

Don't ever call yourself Eddie Poppins
again.

I can keep by your side.

Okay, let's review. Her clothes. Clothes
are laid out on her dresser,

coordinated day and temperature. Hats,
coats, jackets in the hall closet. Her

favorite shoes are currently on her
feet. Her food.

Food on the bottom shelf of the fridge.
She will not eat anything that's white.

She's currently unaware that carrots are
a vegetable.

Eggplants are typically a fruit.

Good. Now, if she gets cranky. If she
gets cranky, Angelina Ballerina's in the

VCR. If she plays any games with me, she
gets the red pieces, and she gets to

win. And on Saturday. On Saturday, I
figure I'm going to sit her down on the

couch with a bag of sugar and a spoon.
We're going to watch some NASCAR.

Kidding.

Saturday we have a play date at 11 o
'clock, which I will attend with that

activity bag on that dining room table
right there. Okay, Nance, you got to go.

Ed, take good care of her. I will. If
you guys are running on vacation, it's

going to be fine. Honey, are there any
questions or anything we haven't

Yeah, well, there's one thing here. I
don't see anything here about wolf

attacks.

Okay, that's hilarious.

That's hilarious.

Goodbye, honey. Goodbye, sweetie. You
can be a good girl for Uncle Eddie, huh?

Will you?

Come on.

Come on, sweetie.

Daddy loves you. Mommy loves you even
more.

Eddie, I trust you, but just so we're
clear, if anything should happen to her,

will make my life's work to destroy
whatever it is you hold most dear.

Great. Great.

Bye. See you.

See you, brother. Have a good time.

Did you check out this week's true story
of inspiration? It is so lame. The

story about the guy who leads the blind
people? Come on, is that really the best

that they got?

Yeah, whatever.

I'm fired by the fact that I still put
up with your broken brain. Yeah, we

really do make an odd couple, don't we?
You're the odd one. No, but I mean, it

really is amazing when you think about
it. Yes, it is. Yeah, I mean, the

vanilla, the chocolate, the salt, and
the pepper, the chicken breast, and the

chicken leg. All right, easy.

Hey, you know what they should do?

What is that, Stubby? It should do a
story about us, you know, like white

black guy working together side by side
in harmony, loving and respecting one

another. I mean, it's unbelievable.

This isn't Montgomery's Summer of 55,
right? No, it isn't. This is Stuckyville

2003. And though we may have come a long
way from the days of Black Crowes laws,

we still have a long way to go.

Black Crowes laws?

That's Jim.

Dude, whatever.

Just leave me out of it, all right?

But you're the only black person I know.

Sarah, you might think of me as your
funny uncle who always brings joy and

sunshine and endless laughter, but right
now we have some business to take care

of because while I may not be a parent
nor have any direct parenting

I want you to know, Miss Burton, that
I'm more than prepared for a few days

together.

Because I have seen both, three men and
a baby, and three men and a little lady,

and I want you to know the lessons of
both these outstanding films did not

on deaf ears. The panic foot chases, the
breaking of lamps, the spilling of

food, and the baby or mishaps.

These are precisely the types of
behavior that we want to avoid. Because

successful completion of our time
together, it'll reflect very well on

us, Sarah.

So what do you say? Does that sound
good?

Oh, Mike.

Look at this place. It's adorable.

Of course. Only the best for my woman.

Hey, puppy.

Hey.

You must be the Buttons.

Yes, hi. Welcome to the Barringer House
B &B.

Hello, I'm Linda Barringer.

Pleasure. Hi. Hey, I see you've met
Pacino and De Niro.

Yeah, why'd you name them that? Because
when I got them, they were both in Heat.

I don't get it. Al Pacino and Robert De
Niro were both in the movie Heat,

remember? Oh, right, right. Remember?

Did you get it? Yeah, that's clever.

Oh, he doesn't get it.

You see, there was this motion picture
called Heat. I get it, Linda.

Oh, okay.

Looks like somebody could use a little B
&B style R &R ASAP. You know what I

mean?

Come on, you two. I'll show you to your
room.

Nuts.

Let me tell you something about John
Leguizamo.

Legs was still doing dinner theater in W
when I took him under my wing, and I

told him, I said, Legs, three words,
one, man, show, and the bastard did it,

he was back in.

Phil. Carol Besson, there you are. What
are you doing here? Hey, listen, you

still working for the Stuckyville
Program? I do on occasion, yes. Good,

I have got a story that's going to be
your bus ticket at this landfill.

A story? Let me guess, a story about
you. No, it's not about me. It's about

love, and it's about respect, and it's
about...

Okay, here's my pitch. Two men, Philip
W. Stubbs, Eli C. Goggins, from two

different worlds, kept apart by so much.
If you struggle day in and day out to

find common ground on which to stand,
together, united, one.

Right, so it's a story about you and Eli
working at the bowling alley. Working,

living, laughing, sharing, playing,
crying.

I'm sorry, no.

What, you're passing on it?

Yeah, I'm sorry. No, you know what? I'm
sorry. I feel sorry for you because when

this story is published, and it will be
published, you're going to be sorry.

This is it. Oh, Linda, it's beautiful.

You can put those over there.

And in the bathroom, you will find
complimentary toiletries, including a

moisturizer made especially for
Barringer House. Is that right?

It's wonderful.

Feel my hands.

Go ahead.

Pretty moist there, Linda. I know,
aren't they?

Linda, this room is perfect. Oh, good,
good, good. Okay.

So get yourself settled and come
downstairs if you like and help yourself

glass of Merlot and a little seat by the
fire.

Oh, we will. Thank you so much, Linda.
It's my pleasure.

Thanks. Hey.

Hey.

What do you think?

I think I'm scared of Linda. Oh, she's
sweet. Oh, Mike, I'm so happy. This is

nice.

Yeah. Nice and peaceful.

I think this is going to be good.

Mike, stop eating that. It's potpourri.

Oh.

Hey, Carol.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing
here? I mean, what's up? I mean, how's

going? I just stopped by to see how
things were going with Sarah. Is

okay? Yeah, everything's fine.

You okay?

Yeah, like I said, everything's fine.

You don't let me in?

Ed, let me in.

Wait.

Hi, Sarah.

You okay?

She's fine.

That's what I said.

No, you said it in a way that you were
hiding something, like I thought she

wasn't fine.

I know. That's what I was going for.

Beginning of time, man, has harbored a
great fascination for fire.

It sustains us, and it can destroy us at
its whim.

I'm using on fire.

No, it's good.

I mean, this is bad, isn't it?

Lay, lady, lay.

Lay across my big grass bed.

Come on! Come on over and join us for
the famous Barringer Inn sing -along!

We're comfortable back here, thanks. Ah,
boo!

I guess we have to come over there then,
huh?

Come on over here.

Let me see you

make him

smile. Let me see me make you smile, Dr.
Burton.

Everybody now.

After Princess Sarah saved Coco and Bobo
and their dog Spot from that terrible

tornado, everyone in the entire country
sent Princess Sarah flowers. In fact,

there were so many flowers that Princess
Sarah's magic castle was filled to the

very top with flowers.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Oh,

okay. You want to listen to music? No.

Okay, you don't want to listen to bomb.

There's a... There's a... No.

No. Magical sleep powder.

Watch this, watch this.

Hi!

Mrs. Messinger.

I thought our little wild time had just
begun.

Great stuff.

I guess you kind of scared yourself. You
turn and run.

And if you could have a change of heart.

Rikido is a number you don't want to...

It's the only one you own. You?

Hello? Carol, hey.

Hey, Ed. What are you doing? Well, I,
uh... I've got a little problem over

with Sarah.

What's wrong? Nothing. No, I'm just
trying to get her to go to bed.

And she misses Mike and Nancy, so she...
So I'm... Here.

I'll be there in five minutes. Thank
you.

Hey,

Carol. Hi.

Thank God.

Is that a... Yeah, honeydew helmet. I
know, honey. Seems to be really doing

trick.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm going to lay it on my rope.

Give me the child.

Good girl.

No way.

How'd you do that?

Demon's touch.

Call me if you need me.

Need you.

Sarah, I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry.

Yeah,

I wanted to get a picture.

Picture a picture of mommy and... Hey,
this would be even better. Hey, look,

honey. We're going to bring Mommy and
Daddy right to you on a home video.

Great. Put it in. Put it in.

Pop it in. I am.

Okay.

Okay. One day, and this day may never
come,

I'll call on you to perform a service
for me.

But until that day, accept this justice
as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.

That's great, honey.

Here's your pesty.

Oh.

I'm funny? I'm funny to you? I'm funny
how? Funny like a clown? I amuse you?

Is that it? I'm here to amuse you? To
amuse me?

Daddy?

Well, isn't that special?

Awesome!

Shirley,

have you noticed what a delightful
addition Eli has been to our Stucky Bowl

family? I mean, when Jimmy left.

I believe you mean Kenny.

Kenny, right. The big guy. I thought he
would never be replaceable, but then

along comes Eli, and I feel a real
connection to him.

I know what you mean. Before he came,
you were a cold, narcissistic cypher.

you seem almost human.

Uh -huh. Yeah. Well, I want to take that
message of friendship, friendship that

sees beyond color, and show it to the
world. But I need your help.

How so? Okay, well, I'm putting together
this multimedia collage for the editor

of The Progress.

You know, music, slides, poster band.
Trouble is, I need some photos of me and

Eli. I heard him say he hated the idea.

What?

Sure. Now, if he asks, just say you're
updating your photo album, okay?

What's in it for me?

Disposable camera.

So is this going to be one of those
group breakfasts? I can tell you right

I'm not going to talk to anybody.

Let's make a run for it.

between the Messinger and Mike.

I've got you right here between the
Jesperson.

Uh, Linda, if it's all the same, I'd
like to sit next to my wife.

Oh, honey, it's okay. It's okay. It's
fine, Linda. This is fine.

Spirit. Okay. Now, I noticed that you
two were the only ones that didn't sign

for our little snowshoeing expedition.

Didn't you see the activity sheet?

Uh, no.

Actually, we didn't.

It's in the foyer.

Shall I sign you two up for it?

Sure. Yeah.

I think they'd be great.

Okay.

Now, for breakfast this morning, we will
be serving a wonderful pan -fried brook

trout caught fresh this morning by yours
truly.

Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank
you, gang.

Have you got any special K?

I'm sorry, what?

I'm sure the trout is just delightful,
but I'd rather have a little special K.

Oh, you're funny, Mike. Looks like we
have a real comedian here, you guys.

Pass me that adjustable wristband. Yeah,
sure.

Here. Here.

Did you pass me the wristband? Yeah,
yeah, yeah.

What are you doing? Well, you know what?
Let me just get behind there for a

second. Okay, thanks.

Boo, what's the camera about?

Updating my photo album.

Please shake hands.

What?

Please shake hands. I love pictures of
people shaking hands.

Whatever you want, Boo.

Please continue to shake hands.

We good?

Lovingly embrace each other, please.

Oh, come on. For Shirley.

For Shirley.

Get over here. You know you love this.

Hey.

Carol. Wake up. You gotta see this.

What is it?

Wonderful. There we go.

I feel ridiculous.

Why? Giant shoes.

Oh, come on. This isn't so bad.

The woman made me eat trout for
breakfast.

Okay, eyes up.

Head up.

Let's take a little roll call to make
sure I haven't lost any of my ducks.

Okay, when I call your name, I'd like
you to please sound off.

Mrs. Jesperson.

Here. Yes.

Mr. Jesperson. Here. Right -o.

Mrs. Messinger.

Here.

I'd really prefer you to just say here.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Here. I was just kidding. That was just
a little joke.

It's my thing.

Oh, good.

Mr. Messinger.

Here. Oh, good.

Mrs. Burton.

Here. And Dr.

Burton.

Hey, sound off.

Not sounding off.

Please sound off. I will not sound off.
Dr. Burton.

I am begging you to sound off.

The woman can see me. There's no reason
to sound off.

Okay, then off we shall go.

Into the woods!

So

Mike

and Nancy failed to explain that Sarah
here turns into the screaming skull at

the stroke of 9 p .m.

How are you holding up?

I need a shower and about 17 hours of
sleep can't fix.

Wait, you got a busy, crazy weekend
planned?

Do you want me to stay?

Do you want to stay?

If you want me to stay, ask me to stay.

If I ask you to stay, will you stay?

I'm leaving.

Will you stay?

Okay. Thank you.

That's fine.

It's kind of fun.

Yeah.

When's Frankie come back?

A couple of days.

How's that going? She still good? Yeah.

I had a few rough patches there with the
whole working together thing, but I

think we're past that.

It's great.

She's a good girl.

Funny, pretty, smart, down to earth, the
whole package.

What's up?

What? Every time Frankie's name comes
up, you launch into this whole monologue

praising her virtues.

So I think she's great.

Yeah, I got that.

So? So? So that's all.

Come on, Carol.

Do you remember how you felt when I
started dating Dennis?

It's just weird, that's all.

Now, Missy, who's going to be all
dressed up for her play date? Who is

look so pretty for a play date?

There he is. Yes, she is.

How are we doing?

Good. Good.

Especially considering she wanted to
wear her ballet tutu over her pants and

shoes on her hands.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

There you go.

All dressed.

Only 25 minutes later.

Burton's house. You've reached, Ed. Hey,

Mrs. Moriarty. How... Huh?

Ready? One, two, three.

Gosh.

No, no, listen. No, I understand.

Yes, the fever of 102 is nothing to
disregard.

Well, I bet she does feel like a baked
potato.

Okay. Yeah, no, no, fine. Listen, we'll
do it another time. Okay, sure. Fine.

Bye.

So, play date's off. Mary's sick.

No.

Honey, I'm sorry. Your girlfriend is
sick.

What are we going to do?

I don't know, but I can tell you one
thing. She's staying in those clothes.

Then I guess we better go outside.

So be it.

One, two, three.

Oh, yes. There goes the girl.

Okay, I'm going to go first, and you
will be left to spot that way.

Name's Burton. I know that, Silly Billy.
I was just trying to think of a little

nickname for you.

Hey, what about Silly Billy?

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, we can do better. Hey, there's
Nan.

How are you doing? Perfect.

I need both of you outside on the front
lawn in five minutes. Why? For what? For

a little surprise activity.

Nope. Pardon? Mike and I were on our way
out back to sit on that bench and just

look at the woods together.

Okay, that's
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but

the surprise activity.

Uh, Linda, we, uh... You can call me
Elle.

I prefer not to.

Mike and I just kind of want to be alone
together.

Snowball fight!

What? That's a surprise activity.
Snowball fight!

And let me make a pledge to both of you.

I, Linda, Boots of Topopolis, promise
you that you two will have the time

of your life!

I thought your last name was Barringer.

That's a stage name.

So are you ready to have the time of
your life?

No, we're going to go sit on that bench.

All right.

Well, if you change your mind, we're
going to be the ones out there having

time of our lives.

So this is where the kids come to play
in the winter.

Look at all Sarah is at the tunnels. I
bet she'd make a great spelunker.

Oh, so true. There are not enough
children interested in a future in cave

exploration these days.

Hi, Mary.

You're not supposed to ask Mary more
RTG.

Hmm. Oh, you're doing so good.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey. Oh, hi. Excuse me. Are you Ms.
Moriarty, Mary's mom?

That's me. Yes, I'm Ed Stevens, and I'm
taking care of Sarah this weekend.

Oh, hello. Hello, yes. I thought Mary
was sick, I thought.

Yeah.

She's feeling better.

Is she? She's feeling better. Who's the
little girl playing with Mary? Who's

that little tyke?

Oh, that's Kathy Yu, Mary's best friend.

Oh.

We were under the impression that Sarah
was Mary's best friend. No, she spends

more time with Kathy.

Well, why not include Sarah, though? I
mean, why not include Sarah?

Mary just wanted to play with Kathy.

That doesn't make much sense to me.
Doesn't make much sense to us. You see,

Sarah? You see how great she's doing
with the tunnel?

And what does Kathy do? She's just sort
of rolling around on the mat. How

exciting is that? Easy, easy there,
Supermom. I'm sorry. I don't know what

tell you. I mean, Mary was insistent.

You know how kids are.

Mr. Dobbs, how you doing? Phil Stubbs.
Can I get you coffee, tea, liqueur? I

know how you newspaper. I'm in love with
the journey. I'm fine.

Listen, you said on the phone something
about a prostitution ring being run on

air? Yeah.

That's pretty much been taken care of,
actually. But I have got a story that is

going to knock the paint off your walls.
Wait a minute. There isn't a

prostitution ring? Well, uh... Whoa,
whoa, whoa. Just give me five minutes.

won't regret it.

Beneath its shiny veneer lies a country
still dealing with a deeply troubled

past.

A country, in many ways, that remains
divided, torn, hewn.

But in a small corner of this fractured
nation, this fractured America, two

men have begun the healing process.

Two men who have refused to live by
society's rules.

To abide by the racism, the hatred, the
ignorance to men who have learned to

live, work, laugh, cry,

and love together.

Now, I'm not saying we need to be above
the fold on this.

I don't think you need a thermometer to
know how hot this property is.

What the hell are you doing? There he
is, Eli.

Meet Mr. Raymond Dobbs. Mr. Dobbs will
be doing the piece on us. Phil, didn't I

tell you I didn't want nothing to do
with this, man? I was serious, man. I

want no part of this. No disrespect to
you. Yeah, I understand completely.

You were the guy in that accident over
off Joppa Road, right?

Yeah, that was me.

Yeah, we did a story on it.

If you don't mind me asking, how's the
recovery been going?

Going pretty good. Thanks for asking.

Mr. Dobbs, don't get distracted by the
wheelchair. Focus on our differing skin

colors. Yeah, look, I got a three o
'clock. I gotta run.

We should talk sometime.

No problem.

Buzz myself. Let's get this deal done.

This is nice, isn't it?

Yeah. A couple of kids in love.

Did I not make it perfectly clear that
we wanted no part in this snowball

Come on, scamper! Throw snowballs!

You two are being so static over there.
Look, my wife and I are trying to have a

simple weekend here, and you're ruining
it!

Okay, you're frightening me. Good!

Good! If that's what it takes for us to
be left alone, be frightened!

Okay, sir, I'm going to ask you to take
a step back. And if you don't, I'm going

to blow the safety whistle.

Blow the damn whistle, Linda!

Blow the whistle!

Mike, you're screaming. That's right,
I'm screaming! because Linda

Stephanopoulos here has ruined our
weekend!

Oh, I ruined your weekend? Yeah!

No, you know what? You ruined your
weekend, okay? I have been doing this

years, and I know what people want more
than they themselves do.

That's ridiculous.

Oh, is it? You're a doctor? What do you
do? Do you let your patients pick their

own treatments?

Do you?

That's different.

No, it's not different. Because you know
better than them.

So forgive me for trying to give you the
benefit of my 17 years of experience in

the in -business.

Forgive me for waking up at 5 o 'clock
in the morning to catch you a trout so

that you could have something memorable
for breakfast.

Forgive me for pressuring you to go
snowshoeing when I happen to know that

everybody that takes that trip ends up
loving it.

In short, forgive me for caring about
your weekend, okay?

Come on, people, let's go back to the
front lawn.

I don't like trout for breakfast.

Oh. Can you believe that woman? She's so
rude. Oh, my gosh. It doesn't get a

choice in the matter, you know what I
mean? It's a whole crazy thing. Why

someone do something like that? I know,
especially to Sarah, queen of bubble

world. That's a snub.

Don't snub a throat.

No.

Oh, my God, I'm evil.

Well, what is it?

Well, if Mary's mom doesn't want Aerith,
say, in her little play group, we'll

just have to make it so that every other
kid would kill to play with her.

I'm not hearing the evil part. The evil
part is we throw Sarah the best kids

party. We dress up in crazy costumes and
we play crazy games and we give boys

big bags of candy.

But it's an evil party?

We invite every kid that Sarah knows
except for Mary.

Mary's mom didn't want them to play
together.

You are a horrible person.

I love it.

I did it in high school. Cora Wilson
tried to snub me, so I threw a toga

and I invited absolutely everyone but
Cora.

Everyone.

Huh.

Well, I guess you must have a different
definition of everyone than I do.

Because I don't recall me inviting any
toga party in high school.

I think you may be right, Mr. Stevens.

Please accept my sincerest apologies.

Apology accepted.

Come on, man. Just let it go.

I can't let it go. I've never been so
embarrassed in my life. I lost my cool,

okay? You screamed at the top of your
lungs at the nicest woman in the world.

know.

Sorry.

This argument's been the most fun I've
had since we're here.

What?

Yeah, because it's just us.

Never dreamed to go on a vacation with
the Jespersons.

I came here to be with you.

I'm your big moose.

Check out my smile, Shirley. Check out
that million -dollar smile.

I'd put it closer to three or four
hundred thousand dollars.

But the hat is spectacular.

Oh, thank you. I appreciate that.

Listen to this.

Eli Goggins' hard -working, positive
attitude makes him the linchpin that

Stucky Bowl together.

It's true.

You are the linchpin. Yeah, but I
couldn't do it without you.

You the glue. You my Shirley glue.

Come on, Phil.

Come on, man, check it out.

I'm trying to eat here, thank you. Dude,
come on, man. It's not that serious,

man.

No, it's not.

You want me to look at it? Fine.

I can handle that.

Okay, that stings a little.

Here, chillin'. Have some fiddles. Ed,
what are you supposed to be?

I'm a space cowboy.

Space cowboy? You'd be in a Wild West
theme.

No, you'd be in a Wild West theme. I
want another space. Hence, the

There's no such thing as a space cowboy.

Oh, really?

I'll show you. Watch this.

Hey, kid.

Who wants to ride the space cowboy?

I'm aboard his piggyback car.

Come on, now. Who wants to jump on
there?

Okay.

Look what I made you.
