[Music] Where are they? The eggs will get cold. Call them for me, will you, Joe? Bread. Dad, breakfast. Fred. Dad. All right. All right. What's all that yelling about? I told him to call you. The eggs are getting cold. Saturday morning I have to worry about eggs getting cold. It's time you were up. Anyway, you have the back steps to fix and paint. 5 days a week I get up at 6:00 to get to the factory. And seven days a week I get up early looking after this whole family. You think I have time to fix the steps? Don't worry, they'll get fixed. A couple of extra hours sleep is going to make that much difference. Huh? That's what you said last Saturday and the one before that. Okay. Okay. I said I'll fix them. So, I'll fix and paint them. And paint them today. Today. Hey, don't rush off. You got work to do. What? The steps. I want you to paint them. But I have to meet the guys. You can meet the guys later after you paint the steps. What about Joe? What about Joe? Well, why can't he do it instead of me? How come I have to do everything? Because I said so and I don't want to hear any more about it. You understand? Now go get the paint over. Nice catch. I almost dropped it, too. See, you catch one like that. You're the loudest throw around here. Hey, I thought you were painting the step. I was painting the steps. Give it back. We're playing ball. Tough luck. This is my stuff. Now, what are we going to do? I don't know. My dopey brother gives me a pain. He thinks he can get away with anything just because he's bigger than me. One of these days, I'm going to punch him in the mouth. Come on. George, garbage truck is coming. I take out already. There is one more thing to take out. What? That radio. Today is going to be the day when I am going to get rid of that old piece of junk. It hasn't been working since it fell off the table last year. George, it cost more to fix these days than to buy a new one. Hi, Ed. What's happening? What's happening with you guys? Nothing. You see what I see? Where? In the garbage can. Yeah. Yeah. Radio. Come on. I got it. I got it. Let's see. Think it works? I don't know. I'm going to take it right home and try it. Come on, Ed. That's my radio. I saw it first. I got it first. It's mine. You have just seen something happen that has caused a problem. To solve it, different people might do different things. Here's one that some people might do. Nobody pushes me around. Would you say that that is the thing to do? [Applause] Ah, keep it. Everybody knows the only way you're going to get a radio is to steal one. Do you think that was a good thing to do to solve the problem? Ah, you're crazy if you want that old radio. Think it'll work, huh? Take it. I don't want it. Someday you'll want something from me. Just wait and see. Just you wait and see. Some people would solve the problem that way. Would you? Wait, you can have the radio. Good. Hand it over. Not until I fix it for you. Hey. Do you think that is what should be done? Come on, Ed. I saw it. I got it. First is mine. Well, anyway, if it was thrown out, it means it doesn't work. Maybe we can take it to your place or my place and take a look at it. Maybe we can fix it. Know anything about radios? A little. Well, let's go house and fix it. Okay. You have seen several different things that people would do. If it were your problem, what would you do? Why would you do [Music] [Applause] it? [Applause] Heat. Heat.
