00:00:32,333 --> 00:00:35,267
LARRY: Never trust a maggot.
4
00:00:35,269 --> 00:00:37,302
How could I forget that rule?
5
00:00:37,304 --> 00:00:40,839
There was a whole cookie.
Right there and...
6
00:00:41,108 --> 00:00:44,209
Maurice, how did you take
a whole cookie?
7
00:00:44,211 --> 00:00:45,444
I had help.
8
00:00:45,446 --> 00:00:47,312
Who would help you? A maggot?
9
00:00:47,314 --> 00:00:49,114
Other maggots, of course.
10
00:00:49,417 --> 00:00:50,849
You mean... ?
11
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:52,351
That's right. My family.
12
00:00:52,353 --> 00:00:56,355
Oh it is great to have a
family. Right Larry?
13
00:00:56,357 --> 00:01:01,226
The only one I keep in touch
with is my cousin, Barry.
14
00:01:01,228 --> 00:01:05,864
Actually, Sir Barry.
He's English.
15
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:11,270
He is very debonair, very
suave, very sophisticated.
16
00:01:11,272 --> 00:01:12,905
Like me.
17
00:01:12,907 --> 00:01:14,440
[HE LAUGHS...]
18
00:01:14,442 --> 00:01:16,275
[and LAUGHS...]
19
00:01:16,277 --> 00:01:18,077
[and LAUGHS]
20
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:20,112
What? I don't have
to take this.
21
00:01:20,114 --> 00:01:22,081
Hey Larry! Come back!
22
00:01:22,083 --> 00:01:23,916
Who's going to
introduce the show?
23
00:01:23,918 --> 00:01:26,385
BARRY:
I say, old thing.
24
00:01:26,921 --> 00:01:29,988
What? What manner
of creature are you?
25
00:01:30,357 --> 00:01:33,525
You must be Larry's
cousin, Barry.
26
00:01:33,527 --> 00:01:35,794
Sir Barry.
27
00:01:35,996 --> 00:01:37,362
Sir! I never met a
real Sir before.
28
00:01:37,364 --> 00:01:39,231
Of course you haven't.
29
00:01:39,467 --> 00:01:41,200
Wow, are you snooty.
30
00:01:41,202 --> 00:01:45,104
And deservedly so. Now,
where is my cousin, Larry?
31
00:01:45,106 --> 00:01:47,172
I don't know. But I'll
help you find him.
32
00:01:47,174 --> 00:01:48,574
Watch this story...
we'll be back.
33
00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:53,912
STREET BOY: This is a true story.
34
00:01:53,914 --> 00:01:55,347
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
35
00:01:55,883 --> 00:01:57,950
We called him Bopper.
36
00:01:57,952 --> 00:02:00,552
Now first off, Bopper was a tennis champ.
37
00:02:00,554 --> 00:02:03,255
Honest, him and his sister, Maria, they won the
38
00:02:03,257 --> 00:02:06,091
All City Mixed Doubles a couple of years ago.
39
00:02:06,093 --> 00:02:09,128
They beat the kid of this big corporate honcho
40
00:02:09,130 --> 00:02:12,197
called Philip and his partner, squishy-face, Hillary.
41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,867
Yeah, they were winning the competition for years
42
00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:17,402
'til the City Rec Department started giving tennis lessons
43
00:02:17,404 --> 00:02:20,072
to us regular people.
44
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:24,843
Bopper had a secret weapon... his sister Maria.
45
00:02:25,146 --> 00:02:27,546
Philip had a really hard time keepin' his eye on the ball
46
00:02:27,548 --> 00:02:30,182
with Maria playing on the other side of the net.
47
00:02:32,153 --> 00:02:36,088
Ol' squishy-face Hillary, she was beside herself, man,
48
00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:38,357
but Philip was tripping over his sneaker laces
49
00:02:38,359 --> 00:02:40,159
to hop the net to pay homage to the victors.
50
00:02:40,161 --> 00:02:41,360
[CRASH!]
51
00:02:41,362 --> 00:02:43,562
That and to ask Maria if she would be interested in
52
00:02:43,564 --> 00:02:45,597
taking a turn in his Jag some night.
53
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:51,103
But Bopper stepped in. "Nobody takes my little sister
54
00:02:51,105 --> 00:02:54,406
for no turn without first he meets my grandmother
55
00:02:54,408 --> 00:02:56,074
and gets approval."
56
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:59,545
So, that's how come the next Saturday afternoon
57
00:02:59,547 --> 00:03:02,114
Philip was lost deep in our neighborhood,
58
00:03:04,451 --> 00:03:05,767
looking for Maria's place.
59
00:03:05,768 --> 00:03:07,084
He was driving up one alley and down the next,
60
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:08,620
and figuring he was gonna miss lunch.
61
00:03:09,023 --> 00:03:12,124
But just then, he saw Bopper in front of a bungalow working
62
00:03:12,126 --> 00:03:13,358
on his motorcycle.
63
00:03:13,861 --> 00:03:16,028
He had the engine all over the driveway.
64
00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:17,963
Philip slid out of his Jag and said,
65
00:03:17,965 --> 00:03:20,065
"Yo, trouble with your wheels, man?"
66
00:03:20,534 --> 00:03:23,068
Bopper looked at him like he was a bug and said,
67
00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:24,937
"Giving her a carburetor job."
68
00:03:25,206 --> 00:03:27,406
Philip mumbled something about spark plugs and he
69
00:03:27,408 --> 00:03:30,042
rushed to the front door where Maria's dad stood
70
00:03:30,044 --> 00:03:31,643
with an ugly look on his face.
71
00:03:32,079 --> 00:03:35,280
He didn't even say, like, "You're late," he just said,
72
00:03:35,482 --> 00:03:37,649
"We started without you".
73
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:40,319
He pointed Philip at the dining room and kept
74
00:03:40,321 --> 00:03:42,321
fightin' with Bopper, who didn't want to stop
75
00:03:42,323 --> 00:03:43,589
workin' on his ride.
76
00:03:43,591 --> 00:03:46,325
Philip walked down the hall and into a dining room feelin'
77
00:03:47,461 --> 00:03:48,460
very out of place, especially when he saw the fifteen
78
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:50,662
family members around the table, hunched over huge
79
00:03:50,664 --> 00:03:53,298
steaming bowls of thick black bean soup.
80
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:57,169
Philip turned on all his charm as he apologized
81
00:03:57,171 --> 00:03:59,171
for bein' late and shoved a bouquet of flowers
82
00:03:59,173 --> 00:04:00,372
into Grandma's face.
83
00:04:01,375 --> 00:04:03,175
Then he played his trump card, saying,
84
00:04:03,310 --> 00:04:05,410
"As soon as I stepped in this house, my mouth started
85
00:04:05,412 --> 00:04:07,446
watering for that wonderful soup."
86
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:10,482
The grandmother, said Maria made the soup herself.
87
00:04:11,252 --> 00:04:13,418
Maria was about to head for the kitchen to serve Philip
88
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:14,586
a bowl when he said,
89
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:17,122
"Oh, don't get up, Maria. I already feel like
90
00:04:17,124 --> 00:04:18,357
a member of the family
91
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:20,292
so let me serve myself."
92
00:04:20,928 --> 00:04:22,527
Oh-oh!
93
00:04:22,529 --> 00:04:28,100
There on the stove were two potsfull of black bubbling liquid.
94
00:04:28,102 --> 00:04:32,170
So, he sniffed one pot and the stuff smelled terrible.
95
00:04:32,406 --> 00:04:35,040
And then he smelled the other and it stank too.
96
00:04:35,309 --> 00:04:37,042
See, that was the problem when you get brought up
97
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:39,344
a household where garlic is like some exotic thing.
98
00:04:40,514 --> 00:04:42,014
But Philip remembered his father's
99
00:04:42,016 --> 00:04:43,348
corporate-type advice;
100
00:04:43,584 --> 00:04:46,351
"It doesn't matter what decision you make,
101
00:04:46,353 --> 00:04:49,154
so long as you make it fast and pretend it's right
102
00:04:49,156 --> 00:04:50,289
no matter what."
103
00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:53,992
So, Philip, filled his bowl with the stuff from pot one
104
00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:56,128
and came back to the dining room just as Papa came in,
105
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,964
dragging Bopper by the lip and demanding that he eat.
106
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:01,967
Bopper picked up his bowl and headed for the kitchen.
107
00:05:02,436 --> 00:05:05,337
Philip sat down, smiled at Grandma and
108
00:05:05,339 --> 00:05:06,672
began to eat and say;
109
00:05:06,674 --> 00:05:12,144
"Mmmmmmm, this is so good Maria," or something like that
110
00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:14,479
and at the same time trying to keep from throwing up
111
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,448
'cause the soup tasted like something you'd lick off
112
00:05:16,450 --> 00:05:18,283
the end of a gas pump.
113
00:05:18,285 --> 00:05:22,220
Anyway, Philip kept on smiling and slurpin' and almost
114
00:05:22,222 --> 00:05:24,189
finished his bowl by the time Bopper came back,
115
00:05:24,191 --> 00:05:26,558
and man, he was burning'.
116
00:05:27,127 --> 00:05:30,295
"Hey", he yelled, "What happened to the cleaning fluid
117
00:05:30,297 --> 00:05:31,997
my carburetor was soaking in?
118
00:05:32,166 --> 00:05:33,532
[SCREAMS]
119
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:35,233
This is a true story.
120
00:05:35,235 --> 00:05:37,302
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
121
00:05:37,304 --> 00:05:39,004
They rushed Philip to the hospital and Maria
122
00:05:39,006 --> 00:05:40,672
came everyday to visit.
123
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:43,275
And the marriage was a big hit even though Maria
124
00:05:44,278 --> 00:05:48,146
had to swear to never make black bean soup.
125
00:05:51,085 --> 00:05:53,385
I can't find Larry.
126
00:05:53,587 --> 00:05:54,619
I wonder where he could be.
127
00:05:54,621 --> 00:05:56,321
What the devil
is that... that...
128
00:05:56,757 --> 00:05:58,056
Slime?
129
00:05:58,058 --> 00:05:59,124
If you will. Yes.
130
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:00,158
Ah, it's slime.
131
00:06:00,561 --> 00:06:02,527
Where can I find
my dear cousin?
132
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:03,595
He wouldn't go far...
133
00:06:03,597 --> 00:06:06,064
You see, I've
got this cookie...
134
00:06:06,066 --> 00:06:07,399
[LAUGHS]
135
00:06:07,401 --> 00:06:09,368
It is urgent that I find him.
136
00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:12,371
You see, there is a
family secret we share.
137
00:06:12,539 --> 00:06:15,407
One which we must address
immediately.
138
00:06:15,409 --> 00:06:17,309
A family secret!
139
00:06:17,311 --> 00:06:19,544
I'll look for him myself.
140
00:06:22,249 --> 00:06:26,084
Can you believe that sweet,
polite, sophisticated roach
141
00:06:26,086 --> 00:06:27,319
is related to...
142
00:06:27,321 --> 00:06:29,321
LARRY: Hey, let's keep
this show moving.
143
00:06:29,323 --> 00:06:32,190
Let's roll another
Freaky Story.
144
00:06:33,761 --> 00:06:35,694
HAM HARRISON: This is a true story.
145
00:06:36,196 --> 00:06:38,597
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine...
146
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:41,600
actually two friends, Charlton and Belinda.
147
00:06:42,136 --> 00:06:44,403
They were affectionately known at Harvard as
148
00:06:44,405 --> 00:06:46,538
Chip and Bunny.
149
00:06:47,074 --> 00:06:49,741
When Chip and Bunny tied the knot, they searched
150
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:51,510
to find the perfect home.
151
00:06:51,512 --> 00:06:52,778
In the perfect neighborhood.
152
00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:54,479
With the perfect neighbours.
153
00:06:55,182 --> 00:06:57,482
Something perhaps in Kennebunkport --
154
00:06:57,484 --> 00:06:59,551
lots of tradition and history.
155
00:06:59,553 --> 00:07:01,787
And they found just what they were looking for,
156
00:07:02,189 --> 00:07:07,259
a charming old house with tons and tons of character.
157
00:07:07,461 --> 00:07:09,628
On the rocky cliffs overlooking the sea,
158
00:07:09,630 --> 00:07:12,597
the house displayed its old world Victorian charm by day,
159
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,736
yet appeared strangelyeerie by the light of the moon.
160
00:07:18,172 --> 00:07:19,738
Chip and Bunny were told the house was once owned
161
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:23,809
by a whaling boat captain, a cantankerous old salt who,
162
00:07:23,811 --> 00:07:26,912
after one of many rousing spats with his wife,
163
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:31,616
set sail in 1902... and never returned.
164
00:07:32,119 --> 00:07:33,552
It was said that the house was haunted
165
00:07:33,554 --> 00:07:35,554
by the ghost of the old captain.
166
00:07:35,556 --> 00:07:37,756
But Chip and Bunny scoffed.
167
00:07:37,758 --> 00:07:40,492
Perhaps folks with less sophistication than they had,
168
00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:42,394
would be alarmed by such ghost stories,
169
00:07:42,396 --> 00:07:44,863
but Chip and Bunny would have no part of that.
170
00:07:45,499 --> 00:07:48,767
However, on their first night in the house...
171
00:07:48,769 --> 00:07:50,769
[A HUGE CRASH!]
172
00:07:51,305 --> 00:07:54,306
Chip, with trusty squash racket in hand,
173
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:57,409
made his way downstairs to investigate.
174
00:07:57,411 --> 00:08:00,946
He found one of the old basement walls had collapsed,
175
00:08:00,948 --> 00:08:03,882
revealing several weathered, oak wine casks,
176
00:08:03,884 --> 00:08:05,784
with wine still inside them.
177
00:08:06,687 --> 00:08:09,788
Chip ventured to taste the contents of one of the casks.
178
00:08:10,257 --> 00:08:13,358
Awful stuff it was but being thorough,
179
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,860
Chip tried them all.
180
00:08:15,329 --> 00:08:18,830
To his surprise one of the casks seemed to hold
181
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:23,335
a rich red wine, robust, with a haughty bouquet
182
00:08:23,337 --> 00:08:24,836
and piquant character...
183
00:08:25,239 --> 00:08:28,306
the most delicious wine Chip had ever tasted.
184
00:08:28,575 --> 00:08:31,209
Since the supply of this wondrous wine was limited,
185
00:08:31,211 --> 00:08:33,612
Chip and Bunny decided to keep it for themselves.
186
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:36,581
On their subsequent wedding anniversaries,
187
00:08:36,583 --> 00:08:39,584
they would each savor one glass from their secret cache.
188
00:08:40,387 --> 00:08:42,687
Chip and Bunny went about having their basement
189
00:08:42,689 --> 00:08:44,956
converted into a proper wine cellar.
190
00:08:45,826 --> 00:08:48,360
The precious wine in that big old cask,
191
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:50,195
would only improve with age.
192
00:08:50,564 --> 00:08:52,430
Every year, on their anniversary,
193
00:08:52,432 --> 00:08:54,866
whether they were off to a soiree at the club
194
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:58,637
or a "do" at mumzie's country home, Chip and Bunny
195
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:02,274
would toast their good fortune with the delicious claret.
196
00:09:02,576 --> 00:09:04,242
On their seventh anniversary,
197
00:09:05,479 --> 00:09:06,511
they picnicked in the basement and shared their wine
198
00:09:06,513 --> 00:09:09,648
on a blanket spread over the cement floor.
199
00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:13,618
For their twelfth anniversary, Chip and Bunny took
200
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:15,921
a small decanter of the wine on a cruise
201
00:09:15,923 --> 00:09:19,224
and sipped it in the privacy of their state room.
202
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:21,660
And on their seventeenth anniversary,
203
00:09:21,662 --> 00:09:24,696
the couple enjoyed their private wine in the gondola
204
00:09:24,698 --> 00:09:28,833
of a hot air balloon wafting over the majestic Alps...
205
00:09:28,835 --> 00:09:32,370
for by now, Chip was a successful attorney and
206
00:09:32,372 --> 00:09:33,838
Bunny ran a noted magazine.
207
00:09:34,741 --> 00:09:37,742
It was their twenty second anniversary
208
00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:39,744
when the cask ran dry.
209
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,949
Chip turned the tap and only three drops trickled out.
210
00:09:44,484 --> 00:09:46,384
Taking this disappointment in stride,
211
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:49,588
they bid a fond adieu and moved on with their lives.
212
00:09:50,290 --> 00:09:53,491
The next day, Chip went about the task of removing
213
00:09:53,493 --> 00:09:56,294
the old, empty cask from the basement.
214
00:09:56,296 --> 00:09:58,430
But he couldn't lift it off its trestle.
215
00:09:58,899 --> 00:10:01,766
Could there be something in the cask?
216
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:05,370
He pried off the lid and looked inside.
217
00:10:05,739 --> 00:10:10,508
Staring back at him was the old sea captain...
218
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:13,545
who had either gone to sea and returned in a wine cask,
219
00:10:13,547 --> 00:10:16,381
or had not made it out to sea after the last
220
00:10:16,383 --> 00:10:18,483
spat with his wife.
221
00:10:18,485 --> 00:10:20,385
This is a true story.
222
00:10:20,387 --> 00:10:22,721
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
223
00:10:22,723 --> 00:10:26,324
And these days, on their anniversary, Chip and Bunny,
224
00:10:26,326 --> 00:10:29,828
now devout teetotalers, toast each other with
225
00:10:29,830 --> 00:10:32,297
strawberry milk-shakes.
226
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:35,367
What? What?
227
00:10:35,369 --> 00:10:36,635
It's just that your cousin...
228
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:38,536
he's so nice
and you're, well...
229
00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:41,706
My cousin? Here? No way.
230
00:10:41,908 --> 00:10:43,608
Way -- I was just
talking to him.
231
00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:44,709
What does this guy look like?
232
00:10:44,711 --> 00:10:45,910
This guy who says
he's my cousin?
233
00:10:45,912 --> 00:10:48,380
Oh, well he's about uhh...
234
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:51,316
Oh, and he's got, uh...
Uh....
235
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:56,354
He looks
exactly like you.
236
00:10:56,356 --> 00:10:59,124
That's Barry all right.
What's he doing here?
237
00:10:59,126 --> 00:11:01,593
He said something about
a family secret.
238
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:05,697
Oh no! Not the secret! Oh no!
239
00:11:05,699 --> 00:11:06,965
I gotta find him.
240
00:11:09,469 --> 00:11:11,736
I can't seem to
locate my cousin.
241
00:11:11,738 --> 00:11:14,939
Oh yeah, he got pretty upset
when I told him about...
242
00:11:15,709 --> 00:11:16,975
... the secret.
243
00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:20,545
Oh, dear. Oh dear,
oh dear, oh dear...
244
00:11:20,547 --> 00:11:22,013
[LARRY PANTING]
245
00:11:22,416 --> 00:11:23,982
Your cousin was just here.
246
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:25,984
I better find him, quick.
247
00:11:26,553 --> 00:11:27,752
Uhhh.... You know what to do!
248
00:11:27,988 --> 00:11:30,055
No really, I don't
know what to do ...
249
00:11:31,124 --> 00:11:33,758
Oh, uh . . . here's
another Freaky Story.
250
00:11:36,096 --> 00:11:37,796
NICE OLD LADY: This is a true story.
251
00:11:37,964 --> 00:11:41,533
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine, Gertrude.
252
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:45,003
Like the rest of us, she was getting on a bit.
253
00:11:45,005 --> 00:11:46,971
Still spry, but with hubby gone
254
00:11:46,973 --> 00:11:48,873
and the kids with kids of their own...
255
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:52,010
Let's just say Gertrude had seen better years.
256
00:11:52,546 --> 00:11:54,512
But the best was yet to come...
257
00:11:54,915 --> 00:11:56,848
One day Gertrude had just hopped off
258
00:11:56,850 --> 00:11:58,550
the cross-town bus and was waiting
259
00:11:58,552 --> 00:11:59,951
for another one to take her home
260
00:11:59,953 --> 00:12:03,722
when nature called, if you know what I mean.
261
00:12:03,724 --> 00:12:06,024
She'd been at a tea social most of the afternoon.
262
00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:08,526
She was not in the more fashionable part of town
263
00:12:08,528 --> 00:12:11,496
and there wasn't a gas station in sight.
264
00:12:11,765 --> 00:12:14,632
Gertrude slipped into one ofthose snooty little dress shops
265
00:12:14,634 --> 00:12:17,769
to see if she could find an understanding sales clerk.
266
00:12:18,004 --> 00:12:20,638
The place was filled with the uppercrust,
267
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,208
the kind of place where if you have to ask how much,
268
00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:24,776
you can't afford it.
269
00:12:25,979 --> 00:12:27,912
Gertrude discretely whispered to the wealthiest looking
270
00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:30,648
sales girl she'd ever seen, asking if she
271
00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:32,050
might use the facilities.
272
00:12:32,052 --> 00:12:34,986
The woman noticed Gertrude's discount shoes
273
00:12:34,988 --> 00:12:38,890
and announced the washrooms were reserved for customers only.
274
00:12:38,892 --> 00:12:41,025
All the rich ladies stared at her and Gertrude
275
00:12:41,027 --> 00:12:42,560
high-tailed it out of there.
276
00:12:42,763 --> 00:12:45,597
She felt like the biggest loser in the world
277
00:12:45,599 --> 00:12:47,732
and would have liked to have crawled on home,
278
00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:49,000
but when you have to go...
279
00:12:49,436 --> 00:12:51,469
So she kept on looking.
280
00:12:52,038 --> 00:12:54,606
She tried the big video store across the street
281
00:12:54,608 --> 00:12:56,474
and things looked good at first.
282
00:12:56,610 --> 00:12:58,643
But when Gertrude mentioned her problem, the teenage
283
00:12:58,645 --> 00:13:02,580
clerks just spouted a long list of rules and regulations.
284
00:13:02,582 --> 00:13:05,216
And she had no more luck at the cafe next door
285
00:13:05,218 --> 00:13:08,520
or the variety store on the corner or the laundromat.
286
00:13:09,022 --> 00:13:12,056
By this time things were getting pretty desperate.
287
00:13:12,058 --> 00:13:15,560
A terrible accident was a distinct possibility.
288
00:13:15,562 --> 00:13:17,262
But suddenly, across the street,
289
00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:19,731
Gertrude spotted a funeral parlour.
290
00:13:19,733 --> 00:13:22,967
She knew it was terrible, but she was forced to pose as
291
00:13:22,969 --> 00:13:25,503
friend or family and get to the lady's room
292
00:13:25,505 --> 00:13:26,938
before it was too late.
293
00:13:27,741 --> 00:13:30,608
Instead of robotic teenagers, there was a pair
294
00:13:30,610 --> 00:13:32,944
of creepy funeral directors waiting right inside
295
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:36,681
the front door.
296
00:13:36,682 --> 00:13:38,215
They smiled solemn I'm-so-sad-for-you smiles
297
00:13:38,218 --> 00:13:41,052
and Gertrude nodded her thanks for their sympathy.
298
00:13:41,488 --> 00:13:43,688
And just when she thought the worst was over,
299
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:46,024
the creepier of the two pulled out a guest book
300
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:47,959
and insisted that she sign.
301
00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:49,928
So Gertrude signed.
302
00:13:50,163 --> 00:13:51,963
She felt awful about it,
303
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:53,932
but she put her whole name down even though she
304
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:56,501
never heard of the dearly departed.
305
00:13:56,770 --> 00:13:58,903
And finally, after all her troubles and
306
00:13:58,905 --> 00:14:02,974
all her humiliation, the lady was free to go.
307
00:14:03,577 --> 00:14:06,244
She slipped down the corridor to the powder room and
308
00:14:06,246 --> 00:14:07,345
the problem was solved.
309
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:10,748
But on her way out of the little-girl's room,
310
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:14,219
she saw the undertakers spyingon her and thought she'd better
311
00:14:14,221 --> 00:14:17,055
pay her last respects before making her get-away.
312
00:14:17,591 --> 00:14:19,591
So she went into the parlour.
313
00:14:19,593 --> 00:14:23,161
There was no one there besides the poor dead soul himself.
314
00:14:23,163 --> 00:14:25,830
There were all these empty chairs and the biggest,
315
00:14:25,832 --> 00:14:28,700
most expensive casket you ever saw.
316
00:14:28,702 --> 00:14:30,201
But not one mourner.
317
00:14:31,137 --> 00:14:34,205
So Gertrude made her way up to the coffin and peered in.
318
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:38,276
The man inside was old, really old, and he looked
319
00:14:38,278 --> 00:14:40,178
as stern as could be.
320
00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:42,580
But Gertrude could see a mischievous crinkle
321
00:14:42,582 --> 00:14:43,781
around his eyes.
322
00:14:43,783 --> 00:14:46,284
And she felt sorry for him all alone there with
323
00:14:46,286 --> 00:14:48,152
no one to say good-bye.
324
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:50,321
So she just whispered,
325
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:53,691
"Thanks a lot. You really saved my life."
326
00:14:54,194 --> 00:14:56,327
And she caught the next bus home.
327
00:14:56,730 --> 00:14:58,830
A week or so later, Gertrude was just dusting
328
00:14:58,832 --> 00:15:00,599
round her tiny apartment,
329
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,367
when the mail came and there was a letter from
330
00:15:02,369 --> 00:15:04,269
some lawyer she had never heard of.
331
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:06,604
Seems the old man at the funeral home had been
332
00:15:06,606 --> 00:15:09,240
stinking rich but had fought with every single member
333
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:10,608
of his family.
334
00:15:11,678 --> 00:15:12,877
So he made up this will leaving all his money to
335
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:15,580
anybody who bothered to show up at his funeral.
336
00:15:15,782 --> 00:15:17,382
They checked the guest book,
337
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:19,784
and Gertrude's was the only name there.
338
00:15:19,986 --> 00:15:22,053
This is a true story.
339
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:24,289
It happened to a friend of a friend of mine.
340
00:15:24,791 --> 00:15:27,258
And the first thing Gertrude did with all that loot
341
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:29,661
was buy that fancy boutique and
342
00:15:29,663 --> 00:15:33,031
boot the snooty sales lady right out the door.
343
00:15:35,368 --> 00:15:37,035
How about that?
344
00:15:37,037 --> 00:15:40,171
Barry and Larry shares
a deep, dark secret.
345
00:15:40,173 --> 00:15:44,008
I have to find out what it is.
But I'll have to be clever!
346
00:15:44,010 --> 00:15:45,777
So did you see him?
347
00:15:45,979 --> 00:15:47,045
Oh, yes.
348
00:15:47,914 --> 00:15:50,715
And uh . . . did he...
tell you anything?
349
00:15:51,084 --> 00:15:52,250
You know.
350
00:15:52,252 --> 00:15:55,653
The secret? He told
you the secret?
351
00:15:55,789 --> 00:15:56,955
Uh-huh.
352
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:59,057
We shouldn't have done it.
353
00:15:59,059 --> 00:16:00,224
[deep sigh]
354
00:16:00,226 --> 00:16:01,993
It was terrible how...
355
00:16:01,995 --> 00:16:03,728
Just thinking about it --
356
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:05,430
Yeah?
357
00:16:05,432 --> 00:16:06,931
I can't...
358
00:16:06,933 --> 00:16:08,166
Yeah?
359
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:09,934
I can't go on...
360
00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:12,370
Drats!
I came so close!
361
00:16:12,739 --> 00:16:13,938
[FART]
362
00:16:14,107 --> 00:16:16,307
Oh hi! You just missed Larry.
363
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:18,843
He told me the family secret.
364
00:16:18,845 --> 00:16:20,078
Did he now.
365
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,747
Yup. The whole thing.
Beginning to end.
366
00:16:22,749 --> 00:16:25,883
But he did leave
out a few things.
367
00:16:25,885 --> 00:16:28,119
Very well, old chap.
368
00:16:28,121 --> 00:16:32,423
I suspect I can supply you with
all the dirty little details.
369
00:16:32,859 --> 00:16:35,860
Dirty little details.
I love it!
370
00:16:36,096 --> 00:16:39,364
But I must have a moment to
gather my thoughts.
371
00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:40,665
No problem.
372
00:16:41,368 --> 00:16:43,001
After this story
we'll be back...
373
00:16:43,436 --> 00:16:46,104
With Larry's family secret.
[LAUGHS]
374
00:16:47,807 --> 00:16:49,440
FAMILY HISTORIAN: This is a true story.
375
00:16:49,442 --> 00:16:53,344
It happened to friends of a friend of mine. Yan and Stosh.
376
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:55,413
Two cousins from the old country.
377
00:16:55,415 --> 00:16:57,915
They came to America in a boat.
378
00:16:57,917 --> 00:17:00,084
Hiding in a hold full of pigs.
379
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,153
When the boat docked, Yan and Stosh were met by their
380
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:06,124
Uncle Blatz who had made it big in the fertilizer business.
381
00:17:06,126 --> 00:17:08,793
Which is why he barely noticed that Yan and Stosh
382
00:17:08,795 --> 00:17:11,329
had spent two weeks with pigs.
383
00:17:11,331 --> 00:17:13,898
He told them they were like a breath of fresh air
384
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:14,866
from back home.
385
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:18,803
Now, Yan could fix just about anything.
386
00:17:18,805 --> 00:17:21,939
So Uncle Blatz loaned him money to start a small
387
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:23,441
shoe repair business.
388
00:17:23,443 --> 00:17:26,010
And Stosh was good with his hands too.
389
00:17:26,012 --> 00:17:27,979
He could break anything.
390
00:17:28,815 --> 00:17:32,150
So Uncle Blatz gave him a job collecting bad debts.
391
00:17:32,352 --> 00:17:36,120
After Stosh's reputation got around, people would pay and
392
00:17:36,122 --> 00:17:39,724
not even insist on delivery of fertilizer.
393
00:17:39,926 --> 00:17:43,261
Unfortunately, Yan often spent too long fixing
394
00:17:43,263 --> 00:17:44,796
one pair of shoes.
395
00:17:45,899 --> 00:17:48,366
And before long he was in deep financial trouble.
396
00:17:48,368 --> 00:17:51,102
Uncle Blatz wanted his loan back and sent
397
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,040
Stosh to see him.
398
00:17:55,041 --> 00:17:56,441
Yan offered to make Uncle Blatz a new pair of shoes.
399
00:17:56,443 --> 00:17:59,277
But Stosh said that wouldn't be enough.
400
00:17:59,479 --> 00:18:03,781
So Yan graciously told Stosh to go ahead and do his job,
401
00:18:03,783 --> 00:18:05,750
because that's what he was supposed to do.
402
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:08,352
So... [CRACK!]
403
00:18:08,354 --> 00:18:09,454
While he was recovering,
404
00:18:10,323 --> 00:18:13,224
Yan whittled a beautiful wooden cane.
405
00:18:13,226 --> 00:18:16,127
His skill caught the eye of his Uncle's business partner's
406
00:18:16,129 --> 00:18:18,096
daughter Drindle.
407
00:18:18,098 --> 00:18:22,333
Pretty soon Yan and Drindle became an item.
408
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:26,003
It was only a matter of time until they planned to wed.
409
00:18:26,005 --> 00:18:30,208
Yan was already practicing the Glitzmar Leap,
410
00:18:30,210 --> 00:18:32,510
the centerpiece of the wedding ceremony.
411
00:18:32,512 --> 00:18:35,413
Because only a perfect execution of the intricate
412
00:18:35,415 --> 00:18:38,182
dance step could consummate the marriage,
413
00:18:38,184 --> 00:18:41,352
and Yan was worried about how his bad leg would hold up.
414
00:18:42,355 --> 00:18:46,257
Unfortunately, Uncle Blatz could not allow the wedding
415
00:18:46,259 --> 00:18:47,992
to take place.
416
00:18:47,994 --> 00:18:49,594
He and his partner had an agreement,
417
00:18:49,596 --> 00:18:52,930
that family and business were like cow poop and sheep poop.
418
00:18:52,932 --> 00:18:54,532
They could never mix.
419
00:18:54,534 --> 00:18:58,536
So, Uncle Blatz decided to send Stosh to talk some sense
420
00:18:58,538 --> 00:19:00,104
to his fool cousin.
421
00:19:00,106 --> 00:19:02,607
And Stosh broke Yan's good leg this time.
422
00:19:02,609 --> 00:19:03,941
[CRACK!]
423
00:19:05,011 --> 00:19:07,612
Yan busied himself whittling another fine cane.
424
00:19:07,614 --> 00:19:09,547
His skill at making canes was beginning
425
00:19:09,549 --> 00:19:11,582
to develop a reputation.
426
00:19:11,584 --> 00:19:14,252
And Stosh, began leaving Yan's business card
427
00:19:14,254 --> 00:19:16,053
when he broke a customer's leg.
428
00:19:16,289 --> 00:19:20,024
So, all and all the cousins were doing okay by each other.
429
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:22,426
They were closer than ever,
430
00:19:22,428 --> 00:19:25,596
which is why Stosh insisted that Yan be his best man
431
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:27,365
at his wedding.
432
00:19:27,367 --> 00:19:31,068
Stosh had fallen in love with Drindle, and after breaking
433
00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:34,272
Drindle's father's legs, the silly rule about family not
434
00:19:34,274 --> 00:19:37,508
marrying into the business was set aside.
435
00:19:38,011 --> 00:19:39,911
The day of the ceremony,
436
00:19:39,913 --> 00:19:42,647
Yan selected his two finest canes to help him
437
00:19:42,649 --> 00:19:44,448
hobble down the aisle.
438
00:19:44,951 --> 00:19:48,286
He stood proudly at the alter watching first his own
439
00:19:48,288 --> 00:19:51,522
beloved Drindle stroll down the aisle in a dress
440
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:54,258
she made herself out of fertilizer bags.
441
00:19:54,494 --> 00:19:57,962
Then came his cousin Stosh, resplendent in
442
00:19:57,964 --> 00:19:59,430
satin and burlap.
443
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:03,134
Yan lay his canes on the floor and sat,
444
00:20:03,136 --> 00:20:05,903
as the priest invoked the sacred vows
445
00:20:05,905 --> 00:20:09,440
and called on Stosh to execute the Glitzmar Leap.
446
00:20:09,442 --> 00:20:12,343
But his feet got caught in Yan's canes.
447
00:20:12,345 --> 00:20:16,380
Stosh fell down the steps, crying in agony as both legs,
448
00:20:16,382 --> 00:20:18,649
tangled in Yan's canes, snapped.
449
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:23,287
Yan stood up, and to everybody's surprise,
450
00:20:23,289 --> 00:20:26,224
executed a perfect Glitzmar Leap,
451
00:20:26,226 --> 00:20:28,459
and the priest, having no other choice,
452
00:20:28,461 --> 00:20:32,063
pronounced Yan and Drindle man and wife.
453
00:20:32,298 --> 00:20:34,265
This is a true story.
454
00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:36,968
It happened to friends of a friend of mine. Yan and Stosh.
455
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:41,539
You know, the ones who can't agree on anything.
456
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:43,441
And who could blame them.
457
00:20:43,443 --> 00:20:46,444
Neither one has a leg to stand on.
458
00:20:48,181 --> 00:20:49,981
Okay, Sir Barry,
let's have it.
459
00:20:49,983 --> 00:20:51,482
What's your family secret?
460
00:20:51,484 --> 00:20:55,152
Ah, we live in such a
mercenary age.
461
00:20:55,321 --> 00:20:56,387
Huh?
462
00:20:57,323 --> 00:20:59,357
Everything today seems
to be worth something.
463
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,425
Well, your family secret
is worth... what?
464
00:21:01,427 --> 00:21:02,727
What do you have?
465
00:21:02,729 --> 00:21:04,428
A whole cookie.
466
00:21:04,631 --> 00:21:06,297
Oh?
467
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:09,467
Ooh? Haha!
468
00:21:12,205 --> 00:21:16,507
Okay. Let's have it.
What's your family secret?
469
00:21:16,509 --> 00:21:19,410
You see, my dear
boy, the secret is...
470
00:21:19,412 --> 00:21:22,446
I GOT NO FAMILY SECRET!
471
00:21:22,715 --> 00:21:24,382
Huh?
472
00:21:24,384 --> 00:21:26,384
It's me, you dodo!
473
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,253
Where's Sir Barry?
474
00:21:29,255 --> 00:21:30,388
I'm Sir Barry.
475
00:21:30,690 --> 00:21:33,524
Hahaha --
Uh-uh. You're Larry.
476
00:21:33,526 --> 00:21:35,426
That's the secret.
477
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:39,297
The secret is,
there is no secret.
478
00:21:39,299 --> 00:21:42,433
Bahahaha! You get it?
Hahaha!
479
00:21:44,971 --> 00:21:46,587
No.
480
00:21:46,588 --> 00:21:48,204
Excuse me. I got a
date with a cookie.
481
00:21:48,207 --> 00:21:49,307
See ya soon.
482
00:21:49,475 --> 00:21:51,208
Hahaha...
483
00:21:51,411 --> 00:21:56,013
Some day I'll find out what
that family secret is.
484
00:21:56,015 --> 00:21:57,181
[SIGH]
