00:20How you feel depends on who you are
00:26Who you are depends on what you do
00:30What you do is mostly up to you
00:35It's true, you can make a better you
00:40Every day is a new world that I'm through to explore
00:46Every day opportunity knocks at my door

00:56And every day is better than
00:58Keep on saying yes I can
01:01And every day is better than before
01:04You must remember to fix that
01:12I'm good at your neck
01:19I'm good at your neck
01:21I'm good at your neck
01:24Well, good, you found some more seed packages, good.
01:45How much longer are we going to do inventory?
01:49We've been counting seeds for hours.
01:52So?
01:54One butternut squash.
01:58One butternut squash.
02:01Six Dapper Dan zucchinis.
02:03Six Dapper Dan zucchinis.
02:06Three Snappy Boy radishes.
02:09Three Snappy Boy radishes.
02:12Oh, Curtis, I can't count anymore.
02:13I close my eyes and all I see is vegetables.
02:15My whole head is full of vegetables.
02:17You're telling me?
02:21Mr. McGibbon, we need to order another lawnmower.
02:23All right, I'll make a note of it, Leonard.
02:26Why do we have to take inventory anyway?
02:29So we'll know what we have on the shelves.
02:31Then we will know what to reorder.
02:34All right.
02:35Have you counted this leaf blower yet?
02:38Uh, no, I'm fixing that for a customer.
02:40It has a bad switch.
02:41Mmm.
02:42All right, Lucille.
03:02Well, we'll have to count them all over again.
03:05Veggie time.
03:12One butternut squash.
03:14Look at this.
03:23There's water spots all over everything.
03:25I'm sorry, Ted.
03:27We'll just have to move to another town and change our names.
03:31That's cute.
03:32Cute.
03:33Hi.
03:34Hi.
03:34Hi, hi.
03:36Has two eyes.
03:37What's going on?
03:42And one, what's going on?
03:44Lucy is suffering from inventory burnout.
03:48Ow.
03:49Oh, two tomatoes.
03:51And six pieces of carrots.
03:53And one head of lettuce.
03:57And one snappy boy radish.
04:02What's in here?
04:03Oh, no, look.
04:04What is it?
04:04It's rice.
04:05Oh.
04:10Now your planet's gonna get it.
04:12Die, alien dogs.
04:16Okay.
04:17Dinner will be ready in ten minutes.
04:19Oh, good.
04:20How'd you finally get the inventory done?
04:22We would have, but we were hit by Hurricane Lucy.
04:27Come on, you two.
04:29Inventory's a dull, boring job no matter how you do it.
04:32Not to me.
04:34Oh.
04:34Well, and what kind of inventory do you keep, Becky?
04:37Well, I have all my Barbie doll clothes listed on the computer.
04:40Watch this.
04:46246 items.
04:47That includes a string bikini, designer jeans, and a shirt with a teeny little alligator on it.
04:52How does this thing work?
04:56It's easy.
04:58Say Barbie and Ken are going out for the evening, and Barbie's wearing her red taffeta evening gown with the off-the-shoulder top.
05:05Barbie isn't exactly playing hard to get.
05:10To figure out what shoes go with that outfit, I punch it up.
05:15And there's a list of 11 pairs of shoes that match.
05:21Well, that's wonderful.
05:24Curtis, you know what this means.
05:27Yes.
05:28If Ken marries Barbie, he'll have to have two jobs to keep her in pumps.
05:32No, it means we should use a computer in the store.
05:37Oh, they cost a fortune.
05:39Well, you could lease it.
05:40We don't need one.
05:42But if we don't get a computer, you're going to have to do inventory with me every year for the rest of your life.
05:48I wonder if that computer store is still open.
05:54360, 61, 62, 63.
06:01363 toggle bolts.
06:03Okay, and the good news is we finished.
06:06Bye-bye, old-fashioned inventory.
06:09What are you doing with my registers?
06:14Ah, well, we don't need them anymore, Curtis.
06:17You'll be glad to know that the entire store is right in here.
06:21Oh, now all we need are teensy-weensy little customers to go in there and buy things.
06:30How is this going to save us time?
06:32You have to enter the entire inventory into it.
06:36But we never have to do it again.
06:37The computer is hooked up to the cash register.
06:40Whenever somebody buys something, it automatically subtracts it from the inventory.
06:46It can do all that?
06:47Oh, yeah.
06:48You've got to see that baby in action, Chief.
06:50Oh.
06:50Yeah, look.
06:51A customer comes in, makes a purchase, and then beep, beep, beep, and it's all done.
06:58Really?
06:59Yeah.
07:00Watch your register.
07:05Lucille, really?
07:09Lucille, will you?
07:10All right, I got it.
07:15I got it.
07:20I'm sorry.
07:21I'm sorry.
07:21I just couldn't help that.
07:22Yeah, good morning, everybody.
07:24Oh, hi, Stanley.
07:27How are you?
07:27Hello, Stanley.
07:29Well, now, what have we here?
07:33M&B hardware has entered the computer age.
07:36Oh, smooth move, Curtis.
07:38That's the way to get the jump on the competition.
07:40Well, you know me, always keeping up with the times.
07:44Yeah, he's almost up to 1956.
07:50All right, Stanley, I'll give you our order, then we'll get down to the real business, our
07:57chess game.
07:58Oh, Curtis, you are a glutton for punishment.
08:02Here we are.
08:03All right, now, what can I do for you?
08:07Well, I need one of those Chadwick lawnmowers.
08:10All right?
08:11No, we don't.
08:12It's on its way.
08:13It is?
08:15Yeah, we ordered it directly from the warehouse, you know, on the new computer.
08:19You're ordering by computer, too?
08:22Curtis, I'll lose my commission.
08:24I'm sorry, Stanley, but computers are more efficient.
08:27They don't make mistakes like people do, you know, nothing personal.
08:31I'm not taking it personally.
08:35Why should I take it personally?
08:37I don't have to eat.
08:39Oh, Lucille, this is a fine way to treat someone I've done business with for 30 years.
08:48No, no, don't blame her, Curtis.
08:50You're not the first store to computerize.
08:53It's been happening more and more.
08:55Oh, but I hate it, Stanley.
08:57The day of the human being is over.
09:00It's disappearing.
09:01We're on the brink of extinction, like the black-footed ferret.
09:08I never thought of myself exactly like that.
09:12Well, you should.
09:13Gone is gone, no matter whether you're killed off by a computer or a gopher snake.
09:20Oh, Curtis, you've been watching Wild Kingdom too much.
09:26Well, I guess this is goodbye, Curtis.
09:29Well, I'm going to miss you, Stanley.
09:32You were a good chess partner.
09:35Well, we've been through a lot together.
09:38From the pot-bellied stove to the microwave.
09:42Then back to the pot-belly.
09:46I'm going to miss you, Curtis.
09:47I'm sorry, Stanley.
09:54I loathe this thing.
09:58Now, look, Curtis, change his heart on everybody.
10:00Just relax and let Mr. Computer become your friend.
10:04I don't want to relax.
10:06I'm happy being rigid.
10:13Come on, you really should get to know him better.
10:15The man at the computer store wrote down some instructions on these cards.
10:20And I'm going to put them right up here where you can see them.
10:24Now, would you use these little refrigerator magnets?
10:29What do you want, the tiny broccolis or the little weenies?
10:31The term weenie seems to fit this situation.
10:41Okay.
10:42Now, the first one says, press power switch on.
10:46See?
10:48This says, wait for your program to appear.
10:50And this is, never place a magnet within a foot of the computer.
11:09Lucille, Lucille.
11:10Well, why can't you stick a magnet to the computer?
11:17Well, uh, I don't, uh, maybe it says on the card, maybe it said something I didn't.
11:23Oh, yeah, there's a little, yeah.
11:27Magnets will erase all the data you have entered.
11:30And just what does that mean?
11:39Well, it means that, uh, that it would wipe out all the information in the computer.
11:45But I'm sure they don't mean weenie magnets.
11:49They mean grown-up magnets, you know.
11:52Wipe out everything?
11:57You have lost our entire inventory!
12:01No, everything's fine.
12:03I'll print it out and you'll see.
12:05Oh?
12:05Oh, God.
12:12All right, all right.
12:14Print out what?
12:15These pages are blank!
12:17Blank!
12:19Oh, don't tell me if I thought I could...
12:22There ain't nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing!
12:24Oh, my God!
12:26Lucille, Lucille, give me back my inventory!
12:31What's going on?
12:33The inventory's gone.
12:36I can't believe three little weenies did all this.
12:41This infernal machine is ruining my life.
12:45I lost my chest partner.
12:47I've lost my inventory.
12:49All right, I...
12:50Is there any way I could stick you in there?
12:55Oh, Curtis, look, I understand you're upset, but not, not everything's gone wrong.
12:59I, I, I, I, I, I did use the computer to, to order a lawnmower.
13:05It'll be delivered tomorrow.
13:07Oh, wonderful!
13:09Yeah.
13:10Besides, we, we, we, we can put the inventory in the computer again.
13:14Oh?
13:14Oh, yeah, Leonard, go get the old inventory sheets out of the trash.
13:18Yeah.
13:19It's too late.
13:20What do you mean it's too late?
13:21Well, I got out back, the truck was there, and they took it away.
13:24You gave our trash to the trash man!
13:33Seem like the thing to do?
13:35Well, Lucille, I hope you are happy.
13:41Thanks to you, we have to count everything all over again.
13:46Leonard!
13:52One toggle ball.
13:54Two toggle balls.
13:56Two toggle balls.
13:58Two toggle balls.
13:58Two toggle balls.
13:58Two toggle balls.
14:05Two toggle balls.
14:05Oh!
14:20Lucille!
14:22Is it possible they breed?
14:28Leonard!
14:29Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
14:30Good morning.
14:32They delivered the lawnmowers.
14:34No kidding!
14:36The rest of them are out back and in the parking lot.
14:40But I only ordered one.
14:42I tried to stop them, but they said that you ordered 111.
14:47Lucille, could this have anything to do with our friend, Mr. Computer?
14:52No way, no way.
14:53No way.
14:54When Mr. Computer asked me how many lawnmowers I wanted,
14:58I pressed the one button once.
15:01Just like that.
15:03And right here on the screen, it says one.
15:09111.
15:10See, that's what you did.
15:12You pressed the key too long, and it typed out three ones instead of one one.
15:16Oh.
15:17But they gave us a discount for ordering so many.
15:21Well, that's good news, isn't it?
15:25I didn't think so.
15:27No, that's not good news.
15:28All right, let me see that.
15:30This is obviously a mistake.
15:31I'm sure the company will take them all back.
15:33No, I'm afraid not, boss.
15:34It says right here, all sales final.
15:37That's ridiculous.
15:38Four thousand one hundred ninety-two dollars and sixty-seven cents.
15:45I'm not going to pay this bill.
15:47You already did.
15:48What?
15:50See, chief, your computer's floppy disk has an automatic payment module
15:54that wires an immediate cash transfer when you modem in the order.
15:58Speak English!
15:59You stopped for it!
16:04Well, Lucille, you and this motley bag of microchips have really screwed up!
16:13Now, look, Curtis, I got an idea.
16:16I'll notify the bank and tell them to stop payment.
16:19Mr. Computer will straighten it all out.
16:22Well, he'd better.
16:24Or his disk is going to be a lot floppier than it is now!
16:28Uh, uh, oh!
16:43What is it?
16:44What is it?
16:45Oh, look, look, look!
16:47Oh, big sale at Niedermeyers.
16:49I know about that.
16:50Not that, not that.
16:52I'm dead.
16:55You're not dead, you're just not a lot of fun.
17:00Will you see for yourself I'm in the obituary?
17:07Oh.
17:09Curtis McGibbon, Pasadena merchant.
17:12Beloved and devoted father and grandfather.
17:15It's a nice write-up, Curtis.
17:17I don't know what to say.
17:19Well, it's obviously a mistake.
17:22You're standing right here. I can pinch you.
17:25Some people have no respect for the departed.
17:31No.
17:35Yep.
17:36Flowers for the McGibbon family?
17:39Wonder who these are from?
17:41The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce.
17:43Sorry to hear about old man McGibbon.
17:46I'm old man McGibbon.
17:49Gee, and you look so lifelike.
17:55Well, I am going down to that newspaper, and when I am through talking, they will know who's dead and who is alive.
18:04Ah, George.
18:06Hey, don't you think you should get dressed first?
18:09I guess so, man.
18:15I'll get it.
18:19Oh, Leonard.
18:23I came here the minute I read about Mr. McGibbon.
18:25Oh, Leonard.
18:26He had so much to live for.
18:29Leonard, listen.
18:30He was like a father to me.
18:32I'm going to miss that old goat.
18:34Yeah.
18:36The grouchy way he used to say good morning, and the way he used to yell at me.
18:40Remember?
18:40Yeah.
18:40Yeah.
18:41Leonard.
18:41It's like I can hear him now.
18:52I feel like I can hear him.
18:53You idiot.
18:54Ah!
18:54Yeah!
18:56Look.
18:56You're alive.
18:57You're alive.
18:58He's alive.
18:59You're alive.
19:01You're alive.
19:01You're me.
19:02Oh, oh, oh.
19:03I've got to go to Torrance and tell my mother.
19:05Oh.
19:06She's going to be disappointed, you know.
19:07She was hoping I could have your blue serge suit.
19:19Well, I'm going.
19:21Curtis, I have a friend down at the newspaper, and I'm going to call her and straighten this
19:25whole thing out.
19:26This is silly.
19:27The nerve of Leonard's mother.
19:29Yeah.
19:31I was planning on being buried in that blue serge suit.
19:35Oh, hello.
19:37Carol?
19:38Uh, Lucy.
19:39Yeah, listen.
19:40About Curtis.
19:42No, you don't understand.
19:44He's not dead.
19:47I am facing up to reality.
19:49I'm telling you, he's still with us.
19:52No, not just in spirit.
19:54He's here in the grumpy flesh.
19:58All right.
19:59Carol, where did you get your information?
20:01Well, they'll just have to straighten it out.
20:06All right.
20:07I'll talk to you later.
20:08Well?
20:10Somebody at the bank told them that you passed away.
20:13Where could they get an idea like that?
20:16Don't look at me.
20:17Only contact I've had with the bank is by computer.
20:21I told them to stop payment for all those lawnmowers.
20:24I have the printout sheet right here.
20:26Oh?
20:27Yeah, see?
20:28Stop payment order on check number 2057, payable to CM.
20:33C-M?
20:34Yeah, Chadwick Mowers.
20:36See, that's computer talk.
20:37They abbreviate everything, you know?
20:38Oh.
20:39Reason for cancellation of order, CM decreased.
20:43Chadwick Mowers decreased.
20:44This doesn't say decreased.
20:49You typed deceased.
20:55CM deceased.
20:57And the bank thought CM stood for Curtis McGibb.
21:03You're the one who said I was deceased.
21:05You're the one who said I was dead.
21:07I think I'll eat some breakfast.
21:09Please, listen to me.
21:11I don't have to.
21:12You're dead.
21:13I want to thank you, Stanley, for convincing your company to take back all those lawnmowers.
21:25I didn't want to get written out of your will.
21:29You know, it's an eerie feeling reading your name in the obituary column.
21:35You know, there were moments when I began to miss me.
21:39Hi.
21:44Oh.
21:45Hello, Lucy.
21:46Well, I returned it, Curtis.
21:49Oh.
21:50M&B hardware is no longer computerized.
21:53Oh, thank goodness.
21:55And I straightened it out with a bag.
21:58You should be alive by next Wednesday.
22:00And, uh, the newspaper, are they going to print a retraction?
22:06Oh, better than that.
22:07They're going to put you in the birth announcements.
22:11Yeah, 205-pound bouncing baby boy.
22:17Stanley, I owe you an apology.
22:20I was wrong to think that we could do business without people like you.
22:23That's okay, Mrs. Barker.
22:25Are you sure you're not going to miss your computer?
22:28Oh, no, no.
22:29Computers are all wrong for us.
22:31M&B is a small personal business.
22:34But I did find what this store really needs.
22:39Wait right there.
22:42Come in, Rupert.
22:43He can carry boxes, stock shelves.
22:57He can even dust.
22:59Hey, wait a minute.
23:00That's my job.
23:01Nothing personal, Leonard.
23:03Nothing personal.
23:04Curtis, meet Rupert.
23:07How do you do, Curtis?
23:11Shake hands with him.
23:13Oh, I'm fine.
23:15Thank you very much.
23:22Get him out of here.
23:24But, why, Curtis.
23:27Rupert, get out.
23:29Okay.
23:32Rupert, Rupert, don't listen to him.
23:35For the last time, get out.
23:39Oh, yeah?
23:41Meet me.
23:42Oh, yeah?
23:43Oh, yeah?
23:44Oh, well, now, now, hold on.
23:46Come in, man.
23:47I don't know.
24:17I don't know.
24:47I don't know.
