- (Forman driveway, Red comes out of the kitchen, walks by the Vista Cruiser to pick up the morning paper)
- RED: Morning, Bob!
- BOB (sticks his head out of the back of the cruiser): Mornin’ Red! Probably wondering why I’m in your car eh?
- RED: No. Just get out and have a nice day.
- BOB: Midgy and I got into a fight Red, and I walked out! Guess that’ll teach her right?
- RED: Well, you’re the one sleeping in the car, Bob.
- BOB: Right, well, that’s cause when I stormed out, I sort of forgot some stuff. You know, keys, wallet, blowdryer. All I need now is a place to stay...maybe with some friends...?
- RED: Well uhhh...we don’t uhh have a blowdryer Bob.
- BOB: Laurie’s got a blowdryer, I know! Cause she’s had that Farrah Fawcett hairdo. That’s not natural! You know, I wouldn’t even need my own room, just a little corner to sleep in!
- RED: Bob I really... I mean, would you...ahh cripes. Okay.
- BOB: Ah thanks Red! You're my best friend.
- RED (pats Bob on his back): No, I’m not!
- (Forman kitchen, Red is reading his paper, Kitty walks in)
- KITTY: Why is Bob in my bathtub? You told me you sent him home, that’s what you said, he went home!
- RED: He did go home. And then Midge kicked him out.
- KITTY: But he went home!
- RED: Well, now he’s back!
- KITTY: Red, he is IN my bathtub! I can’t have him in my bathtub! His afro-gel is gonna leave a ring!
- RED: This isn’t easy on me either Kitty! He tried to talk to me about his feelings! He almost started to cry! I really wanted to punch him!
- KITTY: Bob can’t stay here Red. I know that makes me a bad person, I don’t care. I’m bad so just let’s get him out of here!
- RED: Well then, go talk to Midge and fix it up.
- KITTY: Ahahahahhh! NO! You let the stray in, you find him a home!
- RED: It’s not that simple Kitty.
- KITTY: Do you want me to go to my unhappy place Red?
- RED: I’ll talk to Midge first thing in the morning...
- KITTY: Thank you Red, you wonderful husband. Now, when you’re done with the paper you get upstairs and scrub my tub! Okay (grabs paper out of his hand) you’re done!
- RED: I won’t do it!
- KITTY: Well I won’t either.
- RED: Well I don’t know what the hell we’re gonna do!
- (Red knocks on the Pinciotti’s backdoor, Midge answers)
- MIDGE: Oh, hi Red! Sorry I can’t open the door, but I don’t want Bob sneaking back into the house again.
- RED: That’s okay, I just came by to see how you’re doing.
- MIDGE: Oh I’m working through some things. Gotten past denial and I’m well on my way to acceptance...
- RED: Yeah well couldn’t agree with you more, well anyway... Take Bob back!
