Planning a Bed-and-Breakfast in Town
Mrs. Thomas:
I think a bed-and-breakfast is just what this town needs.
Aunt Nora:
Well, it's pretty hard to pass up, especially full of furniture. Oh, boy! I keep forgetting how big this place is. Judy, Peter, come look at this. I'm gonna put a reception area over here. And a bar over here in the parlor.
Mrs. Thomas:
That sounds lovely. I'm sure you and your kids are gonna be very happy here.
Aunt Nora:
Oh. Well, actually, they're my late brother's. He and his wife passed away just last winter. Is this something, or what?
Judy Shepherd:
It sure is.
Mrs. Thomas:
So, what do you think, young man? Is it big enough for you?
Judy Shepherd:
Peter hasn't spoken a word since it happened.
Mrs. Thomas:
Oh, my. I'm so sorry. How terribly awful.
Judy Shepherd: [laughing, shaking her head and walking away as she knowingly told Mrs. Thomas a lie]
It's okay. We barely even knew our parents. They were always away-- skiing in Saint Moritz, gambling in Monte Carlo, safariing in darkest Africa. We didn't even know if they loved us. But when the sheik's yacht went down, well, they managed to write us a really beautiful good-bye note that was found floating in a champagne bottle amongst the debris. Excuse me.
Aunt Nora:
They were very devoted parents. It was a car crash in Canada. So you'll send me those escrow papers?
Mrs. Thomas:
First thing tomorrow.
Aunt Nora: [trying to unlock Alan’s room]
I'll have to get a locksmith out for this one. Peter, pick up your toys, please. Peter, take this suitcase up to the attic. Then we can all have ice cream…and bourbon.
Aunt Nora:
What? What is it?
Judy Shepherd:
I'm going to Motel 6.
Aunt Nora:
Oh, for heaven's sake.
