don't be offended, but being
a farmer is not too cool, you know.
Oh, yeah.
How cool...
...is this?
I'm really glad things
are going well for you.
I was laid off when they
closed that asbestos factory.
The Army cuts my disability pension.
They claimed the plate in my head
wasn't large enough.
Clark and Ellen don't want
to hear about problems.
No, no. It is very interesting.
Why don't you just ask him
for the money, Eddie?
He sure as hell can't take a hint!
Well, I didn't want to ask you, Clark.
Could you, maybe,
spare a little extra cash?
Sure, Eddie!
How much money do you need?
About $52,000.
Good-bye, baby!
You'll send those checks?
It's taken care of.
Okay, let's go. Come on, Edna.
Lay off, lay off!
Well, gotta be going.
What's this?
This is for you, Clark.
Oh, what is it?
A gift.
You didn't have to buy me a gift!
Go on and open it.
Eddie, you shouldn't have.
Those are great, Dad!
Be quiet, Russ.
Try them on.
No, no, I don't want to get them dirty.
I told you he wouldn't like them!
I love them.
I knew you did because
the last time I saw you, Clark...
...you remarked about
how much you liked mine.
I guess we better be going.
Here he is, Uncle Clark,
all walked and everything.
What is this? A dog?
He's Aunt Edna's dog, Dinky.
He watches "Family Feud."
How are you, little fellow?
You didn't get to meet Dinky last night.
He had the shits,
so he slept in the barn.
Great. I'll make some space
for him in the back.
No! Sit, sit!
Roll over! Heel!
Here. Have a good trip.
Thanks a lot.
"I found out long ago
"It's a long way down a Holiday Road
[Skipped item nr. 548]
"Holiday Road!
"Holiday Road! "
Look at these sandwiches.
Here, Aunt Edna.
Thank you.
Rusty, stop playing with the dog
and come and eat your lunch.
You're favorite, bologna and cheese.
"I've had some Ionely nights
"And I'll admit I cried sometimes
"Cause you were out of my life
"But then you called my name
"And you came back again
"I feel so inspired
"Kissing your lips of fire
"Little boy sweet, little boy sweet
"Sweet little boy of mine
"Come a little closer
"I want to show you
"What's on my mind
"Here in the night, here in the night
"Here in the night, together
"I want to show you
"Love so... warm and tender!"
Mom, my sandwich is wet!
They're all wet...
The dog went on the picnic basket!

Russ, look!
Excellent! They have a pool!
Aren't the woods beautiful?
Clark! Dinky needs
a long walk and a bath.
Rusty, take care of Dinky.
Dad, he bites!
Bite him back!
We would like three tents, please.
All right. That'll be $37.
$37 for three tents?!
They're very nice tents.
The price includes
scenery and wildlife fun.
This seems like a nice place,
and it has a pool.
All right.
Would you fill that out?
Clark W. Griswold.
Do you want my address?
Please.
What do you need my address for?
We like to send out mailers.
- I can't wait to get in!
- Me, too.
Let's go get our bathing suits.
Disgusting!
You're too cheap to pay
for a hotel room.
Oh, Clark, this tent smells.
Edna, this is your tent.
This isn't very romantic.
I don't think there's enough room
for two in this sleeping bag.
Right now, we're one.
One heart beating for two.
Sparky, there's a wild animal.
Yes.
I know, I'm going for it, honey.
Get off!
Down! Go!
I'm sorry, honey. It's Dinky.
I'll kill that dog!
What do you say, honey?
In spite of the problems,
it's fun isn't it?
No!
But with each new day there's new hope.
Kids, let's go!
We're losing daylight.
Did you walk him?
He took a big one
on Aunt Edna's blanket.
Good dog.
Help!
Go take care of Aunt Edna.
I'll take the leash.
Roll over, Dinky!
You're tearing my flesh!
Good morning, Edna.
Audrey, you're next.
No way, Josй!
What's the problem?
I had to sit next to Aunt Edna
last time. She
