151 It's the cable guy. 152 He's three hours late. 153 Use the side entrance. 154 Gabrielle knew her vacation from the world had ended. 155 What she didn't know was 156 John had left behind a souvenir. 157 I'm telling you, dad didn't come home last night. 158 They had a fight -- a bad one. 159 How bad? 160 Like divorce court bad. 161 Listen to her. 162 She always overcompensates when she's worried. 163 If dad moves out and leaves us with her, 164 I'll lose my mind. 165 Ah. 166 Dinner is on the table. 167 Mom, where'd dad go last night? 168 He got a last-minute call to speak at a medical conference in Philadelphia. 169 Take your seats. 170 This marriage is so over. 171 Andrew? 172 Again, sorry I was late. The scheduler overbooked me. 173 How long are you going to be? 174 Almost done. 175 What is that scent? 176 Is that sage and citrus? It's amazing. 177 Try to hurry. I have stuff to do. 178 Come on. 179 Aah! 180 What's happening? 181 The cable guy fell. 182 He hit his head on the tub. He may have a concussion. 183 It's almost 8:00. 184 He was late. 185 Mrs. Huber. 186 Hello, Susan. I made you a pie. 187 Oh, wow. Why? 188 Do I need a motive to do something nice? 189 I can't wait for you to try this. It's mincemeat. 190 Actually, I just had dinner. 191 That's okay. You can save it for later. 192 What's so funny? 193 I was just thinking of that expression "I'll make mincemeat out of you." 194 Mincemeat -- used to be an entrap made up of mostly chopped meat, 195 so it was like saying "I'll chop you up into little bits." 196 But that was centuries ago. 197 Today, mincemeat is mostly made up of fruit, spices, and rum. 198 There's no meat in it, and still people say "I'll make mincemeat out of you." 199 I don't know that people really say that anymore. 200 I do. |
