Cuando el padre de Larry viene de visita, Larry intenta impresionarlo, pero lo único que hace su padre es criticarlo. Más tarde, ellos, junto con Mary Anne, Jennifer, Gorpley y Lydia, quedan atrapados en el sótano, que comienza a inundarse, pero el agua es lo último de lo que deben preocuparse, porque cuando llegue a la caja de fusibles, se electrocutarán.
04:30I'm nervous about my father's arrival. I want the visit to be perfect. It's my chance to show him how I've turned things around. He'll be so proud of me that he'll probably say, "Well done, son."
04:45When I was a kid, I was dying to hear him say it. He never did. Except once when I asked him how he wanted his steak. It must be him.
05:02It's here.
05:31Balky?
05:32Balky?
05:33Uncle Walter.
05:35Uncle Walter.
06:03Where do I put the snacks?
06:10Where do I put the snacks?
06:15At the dining room table.
06:17They are placed on the low table.
06:19They are placed on the low table.
06:20Good idea.
06:21Good idea.
06:22Jennifer.
06:23Sorry, Lorenz.
06:24Girls, I'm going to show you the Appleton method of folding napkins. First, the three-pointed star. Then there's the Appleton tulip. It's not easy, but really...
06:39I'm sure your dad will say so when he tastes your onion sauce.
06:42Say what?
06:43Say what?
06:44Well done, son!
06:47Okay.
06:48And he'll say it when I've earned it.
06:50He keeps saying it, "Well done, son," as if it were nothing.
06:54Well, cousin, I've noticed that he economizes his "well done, son," but that he wastes his "not like that, Lorenz."
07:07He just wants to help. He notices right away when I do something wrong and shows me how to do it his way.
07:14How, how are you teaching me?
07:17Exact.
07:20Come on, let's sit down.
07:21Yeah.
07:23You must be very proud of Larry, Mr. Appleton. The Chronicle doesn't just put anyone on his team of investigative journalists.
07:30Oh, I'm very impressed.
07:33Really?
07:34Of course. Although a journalist should work in television.
07:39On television, of course. Thanks for the advice.
07:44You're welcome. After all, what's a father for?
07:48My father was in favor of raising the price of lamb.
07:52Slight.
07:54I remember how much fun I had with my father.
07:56He took me everywhere. To the lake, to golf, to games...
08:01I did the same with Lorenz.
08:03Do you remember when the Yankees played against the White Sox and we came to Chicago?
08:07I got tickets next to the Yankees' dugout.
08:10How could I forget it?
08:11I still have the bat that Mickey Mantle autographed.
08:15We had so much fun that day...
08:17But it wasn't Mickey Mantle, it was Roger Maris.
08:21Do you remember the time I took you to the circus in Milwaukee?
08:23Oh, I love the circus!
08:25I see 50 clowns crammed into a Volkswagen and I'm a happy little idiot.
08:31No, Dad.
08:33It was Mickey Mantle.
08:36I can prove it. I have the bat stored in the closet.
08:42Cousin, cousin.
08:44The bat is in the basement.
08:45No, Valky, the bat is in the closet.
08:46The bat is in the basement.
08:47The bat is in the basement.
08:48The bat is in the closet.
08:49Is it in the basement?
08:50Is it in the closet?
08:51The bat is in the basement.
09:00Lorenz, it doesn't matter who signed the bat.
09:07Let's keep preparing for the party.
09:10But it was Roger Maris.
09:13Mickey Mantle.
09:15Dad, you taught me that being right is important, and I'm right in this case.
09:20Okay. Let's go down to the basement and you'll find out.
09:25Good idea.
09:26If someone arrives, say that we'll be right back.
09:29Come on, Valky.
09:30Apparently, you're the only one who knows where that bat is.
09:35I remember it perfectly.
09:37Roger Maris was on the bench.
09:39You didn't even notice.
09:40I had to tell you, ask Roger Maris to sign the bat for you.
09:44Mickey Mantle.
09:45Roger Maris.
09:46Mickey Mantle.
09:47Roger Maris mentle.
09:48Roger Maris, tablecloth.
09:49Oh, two, hep, ring.
09:52I've caught the rhythm.
09:58Well, here it is.
10:00Roger Maris, right?
10:01No.
10:05Joey Dolan.
10:07Who is Joey Dolan?
10:08Look, he autographed the ball too. Joey Dolan, batter.
10:15Did you mistake that guy for Roger Maris?
10:19No, I thought the batter was Mickey Mantle.
10:23I thought the batter was Batman's son.
10:28It's normal that you made a mistake. Baseball was never your strong suit.
10:32Oh, I wouldn't say that! Cousin Larry knows everything about baseball.
10:38He showed me how to swing this walnut stick so that the ball goes all the way to the next state.
10:48You have genuine natural talent, Valky.
10:50Oh, thank you, Uncle Walter.
10:53But whoever taught you that position had no idea what they were doing.
10:58I taught it to her and you taught it to me.
11:00Crouch down like Stan Musial, look like Ted Williams, and open up like Mickey Mantle.
11:10And swing like Grandma Moses.
11:15Well, Dad, I always knew how to balance myself pretty well.
11:18The trophy I won in Mantle style proves it.
11:21Maris, Mantle, Maris.
11:23Mantle, will you shut up?
11:24Don't be offended, son.
11:29But with you swinging like that, even I could throw you the ball.
11:34Well, the ball is in your court.
11:36If you feel strong, show what you're made of.
11:40Made.
11:40You know, cousin, Dario?
11:51And I think you should...
11:52Valky, Valky, Valky, Valky.
11:53Then it's your turn to bat.
11:54No, cousin, that's not it, that's not it.
11:56Valky, Valky, Valky.
11:57Valky.
11:57Cousin, cousin, get out of the way.
12:00Get out of the way.
12:06OK.
12:08Here it goes.
12:09I'll pull it easy.
12:09Don't worry.
12:12Cousin, listen to me, listen to me.
12:13Valky, Valky.
12:14Cousin, cousin, I just want, I just want...
12:15Then.
12:16Alright.
12:17Let's see how you behave.
12:39What did you mean, Valky?
12:45Well, I wanted to tell you, Cousin Lari, you're very close to the water pipe, but now it's quite obvious.
12:53No, I don't think it's anything serious.
13:00Repairing it is simple.
13:01Oh, God.
13:04Anyway, it's best to warn the goalkeeper.
13:06Valky opens the door.
13:18Valky opens the door.
13:32Cousin, I'd love to, but there's a problem.
13:36It's closed from the outside.
13:38We can't go out.
13:39Valky opens the door.
13:41Valky opens the door.
13:43Valky opens the door.
14:13It's useless, it's thick, they can't hear us.
14:18Don't worry, Larry, you've gotten us into bigger trouble than this.
14:23Seeing that we are taking a long time, Jennifer and Mary Ann will come forward and open the door for us.
14:26No problem.
14:27Well, I think we can expect some imperfections.
14:31It's not a problem.
14:33All we have to do is turn off the valve and that's it, the leak is over.
14:38I will do it.
14:43No, it doesn't turn, Dad.
14:53It's normal, it's rusty.
14:55And how do we solve that, son?
14:58He hits it with a hammer.
14:59Exact.
15:00I'll look for one.
15:03Cousin, cousin.
15:04Uncle Walter, should I hit it with a hammer?
15:08It seems like a rather violent way to fix a rusty key.
15:13Do you think so?
15:14Yes, I believe so.
15:16Tell me, Valky, how many water leaks have you fixed in your entire life?
15:20Oh, how many?
15:24So, how many?
15:25Well, I...
15:26How many water leaks have you fixed in your entire life?
15:31Hey...
15:32None.
15:36None.
15:36In other words, zero.
15:38So, you've never, ever fixed a water leak in your entire life.
15:44Correct.
15:45You see, I've always worked with an Appleton by my side.
15:50Excuse my father, Valky.
15:52He taught me what I know about plumbing.
15:53That's what worries me.
15:54We're lucky.
16:02Use the tools like a surgeon.
16:16It seems the surgeon has lost the patient.
16:24And when Larry's father finished sorting the cookies by size, flavor, and shape...
16:30He counted the toothpicks...
16:33And he separated the round ones from the plans.
16:36Then Larry and they got into an argument about a baseball bat and went down to the basement to look for it.
16:40Where have they gone? It can't take this long to find a bat.
16:44Downstairs there are two cretins and an idiot.
16:46They might be digging a tunnel all the way to the chila.
16:48I think I'll go downstairs to see why they're taking so long.
16:56Tell them not to rush me.
17:03Let's analyze the problem.
17:05What is causing the flood?
17:08Valky?
17:11I would say that the...
17:13Water.
17:15Good, Valky, good.
17:16Okay, let's think.
17:23All basements have a drain.
17:25Exact.
17:27But the water doesn't run off through him.
17:29That means...
17:31The drain is clogged.
17:34Exact.
17:35Listen to the teacher.
17:40All you have to do is find it, unclog it, and the flooding will be over.
17:45Lorenz is looking over there, Valky over there, and I'll look over there.
17:49Valky!
17:51Valky!
17:55Valky!
17:56Valky!
17:57Valky!
17:58Valky!
17:59Valky!
18:00Can you play later?
18:01But, Pemo...
18:02Then!
18:03After unclogging the drain.
18:04Valky!
18:05Valky!
18:06Valky!
18:07Valky!
18:08Can you play later?
18:09But, Pemo...
18:10Then!
18:11After unclogging the drain.
18:12Can you play later?
18:13But, Pemo...
18:14Then!
18:15After unclogging the drain.
18:16Then!
18:17Then!
18:18Then!
18:19Then!
18:20Then!
18:21Then!
18:22Then!
18:24No.
18:38Hmm...
18:39Then!
18:42Oh!
18:43Take it away!
18:44Valley outside!
18:45Take it away!
18:46It hurts a lot!
18:47Take it away!
18:49Well, we know he's not around here.
19:07Larry, why are you laughing?
19:08Don't let the door close!
19:09It just closes from the outside!
19:17Let's go out.
19:20Larry, what happened here?
19:23Dad hit the stopcock with a hammer, after Larry broke the pipe with the bat.
19:29Were you playing a game?
19:31Yes, Appleton-style baseball.
19:41Wow! I didn't know there was a swimming pool here.
19:44It is dangerous to place the fire extinguisher here.
19:49No, no, no!
19:54Miriam, the fire extinguisher was holding the door shut.
19:58We can't go out now.
19:59Wow, what a way to put it.
20:04Don't worry.
20:06If we don't return, Lidia and Mr. Goreplay will come down and get us out of here.
20:11Meanwhile, let's keep working.
20:25I think I've found it!
20:26Does it usually measure about 30 centimeters?
20:30Yeah.
20:30And does it usually have a grille on top?
20:33Yeah.
20:33Yeah.
20:34So here it is!
20:36It's my grill!
20:41Why are you looking for a grill?
20:44We don't do it.
20:45We looked for the drain.
20:47Well, forget it, Larry.
20:48It was covered up when Mr. Winslow dropped a wheelbarrow of cement.
20:54Valky, Larry, you are...
20:56But...
20:57Well...
20:57If you want to say something, do it one at a time.
21:09It's left us speechless.
21:15Very good.
21:18Alright.
21:19Okay, okay, okay.
21:21Everyone, everyone.
21:22Don't worry, I've done it.
21:24It is done.
21:24I don't know if the rest of you have noticed, but the water is rising fast.
21:31Larry, we couldn't drown, could we?
21:34Nobody is going to drown.
21:36When the other guests wonder where we are, they will come down and open the door for us.
21:40That would be true, Appleton, if other guests had arrived.
21:46You invite people at seven o'clock and it doesn't occur to them to have the courtesy to arrive at the time we tell them.
