:27:01
Vern, what a guy.
:27:04
Yeah, me and Vern
go back a long way.
:27:07
We spend the holidays together.
:27:09
I help him work on his house
and stuff like that.
:27:13
Me and old Vern are tighter
than stretched duct tape.
:27:16
I guess you could say
we're cut from the same bark.
:27:20
Old Vern's done pretty good
for himself, though.
:27:22
If it weren't for me,
he wouldn't be where he is today.
:27:25
I taught him all he knows
about nuclear physics.
:27:29
Know what I mean?
:27:30
Yeah, Vern's always happy to see me.
:27:33
He's my best buddy,
and he throws the greatest parties.
:27:37
Course, we're a little early,
so we can help him decorate,
:27:40
and maybe put out the food.
:27:42
Those little finger sandwiches,
:27:44
and cheeseballs, and bean dip!
:27:47
I hope he's got
something I can eat,
:27:49
not just lots of things
made of white sugar and red meat.
:27:53
I think eating red meat
makes people overly aggressive.
:27:57
They kill people and stuff.
:28:00
Know what I mean?
:28:01
You're as right as rain, puddin'.
:28:05
Pork's my meat.
:28:11
Ho, ho, ho, Vern!
Merry Christm...
:28:15
I thought you said this Vern
was a friend of yours.
:28:18
Vern's just like that.
:28:19
He'll do anything for a laugh.
:28:22
Come on.
:28:23
- It's Santa's little party helper!
- Hi!
:28:27
This is Harmony.
:28:30
She's been having a tough time,
so I'm helping her out.
:28:33
You know,
kind of a "father image" thing.
:28:36
"As the twig is bent,
so grows the tree. "
:28:39
Know what I mean?
:28:41
It'll look good right over here.
:28:44
Nice place. It's really you.
:28:47
Yep, I'll just set it right in there.
:28:51
Umph!
:28:52
Ugh!
:28:54
Don't worry, Vern,
I'll make it fit.
