[Louise]
Dad why are you massaging the turkey now?
[Gene]
Maybe it's tense I'll make it some tea.
[Bob]
I'm doing a 3-day salt rub I call it father of the brine... huh? Thank you it's
special since we're having Teddy, Mort, and your Aunt Gayle over. I don't see why Gail and her cats have to stay with us all week.
[Linda]
She had to vacate her place because of the fire, Bob. She put her dental dams in the dryer.
[Louise]
What are dental dams?
[Linda]
Nothing...
[Bob]
Forget it.
[Linda]
Don't say it at school!
[Bob]
Didn't she used to only have one cat?
[Linda]
Uh she adopted one last week and then she found one on her way over here. She's a cat magnet.
[Gayle]
Oh, it was so sad. He was just sitting on someone's porch. Poor little guy.
[Louise]
Just sitting there.
[Gayle]
Just sitting there in the sun.
[Bob]
Cat hair.
[Linda]
Take one of the allergy pills I got you.
[Gene]
Well, Dad, I hope you're not allergic to melody and rhythm and sexy lyrics cuz our guests are going to love my Thanksgiving song!
[Bob]
Look, every year I try and tell you guys that no one really sings Thanksgiving songs.
[Linda]
You bite your tongue!
[Gene]
Think about it! Why aren't there any Thanksgiving carols? I'm going to write a classic and make a million dollars and then I'm going to buy a car.
[Linda]
I believe in you Gene! I'll be in your song.
[Gene]
Great, but you don't get any of the profits and I'm going to be very critical.
[Linda]
I love it.
[Bob]
Well good luck with your song and don't be offended if everyone's talking about how great my turkey is while you're trying to sing.
[Gene]
Sounds like someone's afraid of being upstaged.
[Bob]
You are.
[Gene]
You are.
[Bob]
Oh, God. Get out of here!
[Gayle]
Bob, stop hitting my cats! And God bless you.
