:07:01
Then there was my uncle Abe.
:07:03
He kept bringing home fish...
:07:04
from his friends who worked
at Sheepshead Bay.

:07:06
Ceil, I'm home!
:07:09
Ceil, I got fish!
:07:11
I got great fish today.
:07:13
What do we need rawfish for?
:07:15
And of course my aunt Ceil...
:07:17
who dreamed
of a more exciting life...

:07:18
than always having
to filet his flounder.

:07:20
They're fresh fish!
:07:22
He has friends
at Oscar's dock...

:07:23
so he can't spend
a single afternoon there...

:07:26
where they don't load him up
with fish.

:07:27
You don't like it,
take the gas pipe.

:07:29
Next, there was
Grandpa and Grandma.

:07:31
Every single morning...
:07:33
he spent a half-hour
packing her into her corset.

:07:35
I'm pulling, I'm pulling!
:07:37
A woman in her 70s,
and her bosom is still growing.

:07:41
Nathan!
:07:42
Abe and Ceil's daughter
was cousin Ruthie...

:07:44
who entertained herself
by sitting and listening to...

:07:46
the next-door neighbors
on the party line.

:07:48
Mrs. Waldbaum's
having her ovaries out.

:07:50
Both or one?
:07:52
Get off the line, OK?
:07:54
Stop listening in on my phone!
:07:56
Stop snooping on us!
:07:58
All right, all right.
:07:59
Don't get your bowels
in an uproar.

:08:00
Nobody's snooping.
:08:02
Oh, yeah? My wife
hears her breathing!

:08:04
And she giggles!
:08:05
Hey, Waldbaum. Waldbaum...
:08:08
you think we care
what goes on in your house?

:08:10
Let them take her ovaries out.
What's it our business?

:08:14
Mrs. Waldbaum had
a steel plate in her head...

:08:17
and it was said she couldn't
walk near magnets.

:08:21
Finally, there was Aunt Bea,
who only wanted to get married.

:08:26
This is a Lindy.
:08:27
My dancing teacher gave me
this great new step for it.

:08:31
Hey, Tess?
:08:33
Tess, I can't decide...
:08:34
if I should take
my vacation on a cruise...

:08:36
or go to the mountains.
:08:38
I mean, the men
are richer on a cruise...

:08:41
but there's more of them
in the resorts.

:08:43
What do you think, Tess?
:08:44
Well, I met my husband
at a mountain resort...

:08:47
so I'd advise you
to go on a cruise.

:08:48
That's very funny.
:08:50
Can we get back to my idea?
:08:52
We buy cultured pearls.
We box 'em here in velvet...

:08:55
and we sell 'em mail order.
:08:56
I can get a good price.
:08:57
You were in jewelry.
It didn't work.

:08:59
We got stuck with
the rhinestone earrings.
