the '50s?
No, honey.
It was before that.
No, I-I really need something
about the '50s.
Oh. '50s. Hmm.
Oh, how about this?
john Foster Dulles,
The Soviet Threat to Western Europe-
Strategy and Tactics of Containment.
That sounds good.
Uh, there're a couple pages missing
in the second chapter.
I had a little leak in the roof last spring,
and, uh, there was some water damage.
Oh, well, that's okay.
Here is The U.S. Department of Agriculture
Grain Report for 1957.
Abstract Expressionism.
Here's Baseball's Greatest-
The Story of Mickey Mantle.
- What?
- Your hair.
- What about my hair?
- How'd you get it that color?
I didn't. It-It's natural.
You are so lucky.
I'm just old, Shelly.
Yeah. That's what I mean.
All right.
I get five feet one inch.
Maurice, hi.
All right. The deal's off. Get.
Maurice.
What're you talking about?
We didn't sign anything.
I've changed my mind.
Now, get off my property.
Why? What happened?
I don't owe you
any explanation.
- I think you do.
- Yeah?
- Yeah!
- All right.
I'll lay my cards on the table.
I've got a vision for Cicely.
That vision does not include Fire Island.
It does not include San Francisco.
It also does not include hairdressers,
interior designers, florists or dog groomers.
You two get my drift?
Spare us the theatrics, Maurice.
- Look, I'm serious here. I'm not joking.
- Hey, I'm not above using...
the "no fairies allowed''
routine myself, you know.
- How much do you want?
- That's not it!
We agreed on 46,500.
- How 'bout 48?
- I'm talking morality here, not money!
Fifty.
You fellas aren't listening
to me, are you?
What do you think, Erick?
Oh, I don't know.
- All right. If you think so.
- What?
We'll go the asking price- 55.
- Fifty-five?
- And not a penny more, Maurice.
- Fifty-five?
- That's carved in stone. I mean it.
Here's a deposit.
We want your answer
before noon tomorrow,
or we're out of here.
Fifty-five?
? Is that all there is?
?If that's all there is my friends?
? Then let's keep dancing?
?Let's break out the booze?
?And have a ball?
?If that's all?
? There is?
Hi, everybody.
You know, that was one
of Rick's favorite songs.
- Yeah. Uh, Ed, any word yet?
- I'll check.
Uh, sorry about the delay,
but Rick's coffin needed
a little customizing.
But I guess I don't really mind
starting without him,
because a funeral is really more
for the survivors than anybody else.
And, uh, in this case that's Maggie,
who's been a survivor more
times than she'd like to count.
I know you all remember
Rick's predecessor, Dave.
He fell asleep on a glacier
and froze to death.
But before Dave, there was Glen.
And Glen, in his Volvo, took a wrong turn...
and ended up on a missile test range.
And then there was Bruce,
victim of a terrible fishing accident.
And then there was Harry.
Remember Harry?
He died when he was out,
uh, at the, uh-
Umm- How was it?
- Picnic.
- I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you.
- At a picnic.
- Picnic. Right. Potato salad.
Folks, a lot of people would look
at this string of five deaths and say,
"This is weird.
Something really strange is going on here.''
But I just want to say,
Maggie, on behalf of all of us,
that we don't think it's your fault,
and we don't believe in any curse.
Right, everybody?
Hey, come on. You can do better than that.
Right, everybody?
He's here.
Watch yourself.
Watch yourself.
Watch out. Easy.
Hold it.
Holy cow.
Well, uh, here's Rick.
Hey, cut it out!
A man has died!
Chris!
The man is dead!
Uh!
Shelly?
- Shelly!
- Hello, dear.
Well, you-
Would you like an onion
or an olive in your martini?
Olive, I guess. You look different.
I borrowed a few things
from Ruth-Anne.
So, what's your opinion about
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg?
Who?
The atom bomb spies.
Oh, dinner's ready.
Hot dog and cheese casserole.
Shelly, it's midnight.
So?
Well, I thought maybe
you might like to cuddle a little.
I mean, you didn't feel like it
