01:00The plot arrives in half an hour.
01:01Hold on.
01:02I got to do a color check.
01:04Let's see.
01:05Red, blue, green, white, red, blue, green, white, red.
01:10Hank, aren't you excited to see your mother?
01:12Of course I'm excited to see her.
01:14I haven't seen her in two years.
01:16It's the boyfriend I'm worried about.
01:19You know, it's about time you got used to this, Hank.
01:25Your mother told you almost a year ago that she had a boyfriend.
01:30She said gentleman friend.
01:32I didn't know it was the same thing.
01:34I thought they'd just sit and have tea and talk about how good the tea is.
01:40You know, not too hot, that kind of thing.
01:42Well, I've never heard your mother so happy.
01:46Come on, just give this guy a chance.
01:48Why, he's just going to use her like a footstool like Dad did.
01:53Dub-a-dub-dub.
01:54I think I'm in love.
01:57Oh, Hank, you're exaggerating.
02:00Not really.
02:00Oh, great.
02:03Look, she's carrying both of the bags and he's nowhere to be found.
02:07Well, hello, Tilly.
02:08How was your flight?
02:10Well, it was nice, except that we asked for no meat.
02:14And they served us meat.
02:15And we just can't eat meat since Gary's bypass.
02:19Oh, Hank, it's so good to see you.
02:26Mom, we're in public.
02:28One hand only, okay?
02:29But I've missed you.
02:31Thank you very much.
02:32Well, Hank and I cannot wait to meet your new man.
02:37We didn't know how to spell his name, so we don't have a stocking for him.
02:42Oh, don't worry.
02:44I'm sure he won't even notice he's Jewish.
02:47And they never did that in his family.
02:50Do they carry suitcases in his family, or does he think that's woman's work like Dad did?
02:55Oh, Hank, Gary's nothing like cotton.
02:59He's got a big heart.
03:01Of course, now, the doctors call it enlarged.
03:04You flush, and where does it go?
03:08Ah, you must be Peggy.
03:10That's right, Peggy.
03:11It is such a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kasner.
03:14Mr. Kasner's my father.
03:16Gary, it's Gary.
03:18Oh.
03:19Hank, I recognize this from your baby pictures.
03:23I'm glad to meet you at last, Boychick.
03:26Hey, hey, let go.
03:28Never, never.
03:30You'll never get away.
03:38Mom, I'll put your stuff in the den with Luann.
03:42Gary, I put a cot in Bobby's room for you.
03:45No, no, no.
03:47Why move everyone around?
03:49Tilly and I can sleep out here in the living room.
03:53No, I don't think so.
03:55Why, doesn't that couch open up?
03:57Uh, yeah, but no, uh...
04:00Hank, don't tell me you're uncomfortable with the thought of me and Gary sleeping in the same room.
04:06I didn't have that thought, Mom.
04:09You put that thought in my head.
04:12But now that it's there, you leave me no choice.
04:14I'm sorry.
04:17I gotta drive all the way to Houston to have Christmas lunch with my dad
04:22and then drive all the way back here to have Christmas dinner with my mom and him.
04:29Why do you keep calling him him?
04:32I just find that odd.
04:33I call him Mr. Kasner.
04:36Keeping it nice and formal.
04:38Kasner?
04:40Is that German?
04:41It's Jewish.
04:46So, he's Jewish.
04:50Yeah, Dale, he's Jewish.
04:52There's nothing wrong with that in and of itself.
04:56Is he funny?
04:57Well, he doesn't seem too funny.
04:59Seinfeld's funny.
05:01Seinfeld's funnier than Gary.
05:03I'll bet Gary.
05:05Kasner, is it?
05:06I'll bet he's funnier than Cotton.
05:08Cotton ain't no funny at all, man.
05:10He got a POW camp, man.
05:12He'll go bamboo shoots, talking about him putting him in on fingernails, man.
05:16Don't freak me out about that.
05:18You know, I thought my mom had learned her lesson when she had the good sense to dump my dad.
05:23But now she's gone and found another guy to treat her like a bellboy.
05:28Whoopi Goldberg's funny.
05:30Whoopi Goldberg's funny.
05:32You know, the man won't even eat steak.
05:34Now, what's that about?
05:36Hell, my boss has a bypass surgery every year, and he eats all the damn steak he wants.
05:41Well, that's not the reason Gary doesn't eat steak, Hank.
05:44It's because the cow is sacred to his people.
05:47Nope.
05:48You're thinking of the Hindus.
05:50The pig is sacred to the Jews.
05:53Well, I wouldn't myself never join a religion that restricted my diet.
05:58See, I don't want to get into heaven that way.
06:01Hey, we have the same build.
06:12Yeah, I guess so.
06:14But your skin is a little tighter.
06:17Are you a war hero like my biological grandfather?
06:22A hero?
06:23No.
06:23No, no.
06:24I spent most of Korea in a submarine deep in the Pacific.
06:28I didn't see much action.
06:30Hey, when you flush on a submarine, where does it go?
06:36You I like.
06:38You said you I like instead of I like you.
06:43That's funny.
06:44I like that.
06:45Wait.
06:46That I like.
07:00Hey, good.
07:05Good.
07:05You're up.
07:06What is this I'm eating?
07:09It's some kind of delicious cutlet.
07:11Chicken fried steak.
07:13Oh, well.
07:14I'm going to count this on to chicken.
07:17I'm allowed to have chicken.
07:20Sit down.
07:21Let's talk.
07:22Hank, your mother means a great deal to me.
07:31It's been a long time since I've had these feelings.
07:34Uh, sorry, but now is a bad time.
07:39Uh, this is my program.
07:42And I just asked you, Father, to take this man's hiccups to heal him.
07:48Oh, I, I, you believe in this stuff?
07:53Yep, that's right.
07:55Uh, it's my favorite thing.
07:56So please don't talk to me about anything else right now.
08:00Here comes big all.
08:03Well, I guess there's nothing we can.
08:05Big all.
08:06I was thinking of picking up a menorah so we can celebrate Hanukkah and make Gary feel at home.
08:14What?
08:15I just think it'd be nice to honor his traditions, too.
08:19Bobby could blow out all the candles on Hanukkah Eve and make a wish.
08:23No, he's the new guy.
08:25Why should we change anything for him?
08:27He hasn't made any offers to change for me.
08:30Bobby, are you going to the game with us?
08:34Basketball?
08:34I can take or leave.
08:36Excuse me?
08:37Honey, don't you mean to say I can take or leave basketball?
08:41No, Mom.
08:42Gary taught me this.
08:43It's the cool new way people from Arizona talk.
08:47You want I should teach you?
08:49Bobby, get your butt in the car.
08:51Let's go!
08:51Let's go!
08:52If I miss the tip-off, I don't know which team is going for which basket.
08:59Mom, you're not dressed.
09:00Didn't somebody tell you four of Arlen's players made regionals?
09:04I think I'll pass.
09:05Fine, whatever.
09:07I'm just saying an eighth grade like this comes along once in a decade.
09:12Hey, it's been a long night without you, puppy.
09:20Mister, it's certainly been a long, hot night.
09:25I got your mistletoe right here.
09:32Did you remember to bring the styrofoam finger?
09:35Yes, Hank.
09:36Does it say number one on it?
09:38Yes, Hank.
09:39The basketball one?
09:40Huh.
09:41Huh.
09:57That's my mother's robe.
10:00Soon as I'm out of sight, he makes her do the laundry.
10:03This is weird.
10:07Sounds like the dryer's on, but all their clothes are on the floor.
10:10Oh.
10:36Oh.
10:36Oh, my eyes, I've gone blind.
11:06Hike, is something wrong?
11:17You look very strange.
11:20Well, I guess I'll have to take your word for it.
11:24I can't see a thing.
11:26I've gone blind.
11:28Oh, good Lord.
11:30Blind? He's gone now.
11:34I'm really stumped.
11:35Your eyes respond to light, the retina's in place, and there's no sign of a stroke.
11:41Mr. Hill, I know I've asked you this before, but you didn't poke yourself, did you?
11:44No, I just went blind for no reason.
11:48Why is that so hard for you to understand?
11:51What kind of a doctor are you anyway?
11:53Will you do something?
11:54What are all these machines for?
11:56What about that laser right there?
11:58Use that laser on my husband right now.
12:00All right.
12:01Whoa, whoa, I don't need a laser.
12:03Look, what if somebody saw something really, really wrong?
12:10Could that affect someone's vision?
12:12Was something out of place, something where it shouldn't be?
12:14Did you open the microwave door before the ding?
12:18Just tell me if it's possible.
12:20Well, there is a temporary disorder called hysterical blindness.
12:26Someone can see something so horrific, like, say, a brutal murder, that sort of thing, that they actually lose their sight.
12:34Yeah, I got a couple of books on it.
12:37You take them.
12:38I don't need them.
12:38This condition could last a few days or a few weeks.
12:44The key to getting better will be to confront what you saw and deal with it.
12:49Unless, of course, you poked yourself, in which case, when you're ready to admit it, you can come back, and I'll fix you right up.
12:54Hank, when are you planning on telling me what you saw?
13:03I can't say.
13:05You want me to lose my voice, too?
13:08How can I help you get better if you don't tell me what caused this?
13:11So don't help me.
13:13I'll just be blind.
13:14I don't care.
13:15Is it a thing, or a person, or a vegetable?
13:19Hank, just tell me.
13:20A person.
13:21Ha, ha.
13:22Stop it.
13:23Stop asking me.
13:25When we get home, you can show me on a dog.
13:28No.
13:29All right.
13:30I'll tell you, but you can't say anything about it to anyone.
13:35I saw Mom and Gary, uh, in the throes of, uh, activity.
13:44That's it?
13:45I can't believe you dragged me to a medical doctor for that.
13:50Well, you get your sight back right now, you big baby.
13:53Come on, Peggy.
13:55It's not that easy.
13:56How would you feel if you saw your mother on the kitchen table in the arms of a 65-year-old man wearing nothing but a submarine tattoo?
14:07Oh, I eat breakfast on that table.
14:15What did the doctor say, honey?
14:20I poked myself in the eye.
14:23It's the darndest thing.
14:24But what about the other eye?
14:26Well, it seems the other eye compensates by shutting itself down.
14:31It's one of nature's wonders.
14:33My entire life I've been reading psychology today.
14:36I never heard of an eye sympathetically shutting down.
14:40I've got a magazine you ought to read.
14:43It's called The Ten Commandments.
14:45Who's he talking to?
14:47Hank?
14:47You want I should come over there?
14:49You want I should come over there?
14:52That is so Arizona.
14:54I know what your problem is, Hank.
15:01Your finger's too big.
15:03That's why you poked your eye out.
15:08Ha, ha, ha, ha.
15:10Hey, Hank.
15:12What am I thinking?
15:14You can't see.
15:17You can't see what I'm thinking.
15:20I'm not going to be blind forever, you know.
15:22And the second I see some ass, I'm kicking it.
15:25Now, no more making fun of my blindness.
15:28Oh, dope.
15:30Bring, bring.
15:32Hold for you, Hank.
15:35The joke's on you, funny man.
15:38I like them flat.
15:42Press harder.
15:48Peggy.
15:48So, okay.
15:53Who wants to make cookies?
15:54Who wants to make cookies?
16:08Jesus, if you're up there, what I'd really like for Christmas is my sight back.
16:16And, uh, wrench set.
16:20Maybe I should be talking to Santa about that.
16:23What?
16:38What's going on?
16:40Did somebody drop a dish?
16:41Okay.
16:42Now we will open the presents.
16:45I'll pass them out, like usual.
16:46Oh, we got something square.
16:50Uh, did somebody ask Santa for something square?
16:55Uh, here you go, Bobby.
17:02Hey, that's from me.
17:05He said Bobby.
17:09Cool.
17:10A nightgown.
17:12I'm going to wear this when I get older.
17:14All right, who's next?
17:17Oh, I got a heavy one here.
17:26Okay, and here's something for Peggy from Tilly and Me.
17:33A book.
17:34I love books.
17:35The Clown Did It.
17:37Movie Comics from Buster Keaton to Robin Williams.
17:40Look, Hank!
17:41Oh, I'm awake.
17:42Oh, and what do we have here?
17:46Oh, my goodness.
17:48Another mink coat for Hank.
17:51Sorry, Hank.
17:53I know that's getting old.
17:55That's great there, Gary.
17:57Thanks for turning my holiday into a Woody Allen special.
18:02I'm going to sit in the truck until it's time to go to my dad's.
18:06Where's my finger?
18:07Gary, he didn't mean that.
18:16Please excuse me.
18:22Hank, stop.
18:24Hank, if you won't come back in for Gary or your mother, at least do it for yourself.
18:30Now, the doctor told you it was psychological.
18:33If you run away from your problem, you will never get your sight back.
18:38Are you going to drive me to my dad's or not?
18:46Honey, I feel better already.
18:48Every block we put between me and the kitchen table is a load off my mind.
18:53I'm into that.
18:55Now, where am I going?
18:57Uh, what?
19:00Peggy?
19:01Where's Peggy?
19:06Turn this thing around.
19:08Peggy asked me to take you.
19:11And my policy is give a woman what she wants.
19:16Stop the truck.
19:17Let me ride back in the bed.
19:20Don't be silly.
19:21You'll be much more comfortable inside.
19:23Here, I'll, um, I'll tell you what you're passing.
19:27There's one of those big trucks.
19:29You know, the ones you find on the road?
19:31A semi, a demi.
19:33A couple of dozen wheelers.
19:36Here we got a billboard.
19:38They want us to buy some filing cabinets.
19:40Shut up.
19:41You're driving me insane.
19:43Oh, look, a hitchhiker.
19:45With a beard, a gun, and a dog.
19:47I think we'll pick him up.
19:48It made me take you out of this mood you're in.
19:51He looks like a nice guy.
19:52No, no.
19:53We can take the dog?
19:55No.
19:56You'll lick your face.
19:57You'll feel better.
19:58No, no, no.
19:59Don't you like dogs?
20:10You're late.
20:12Dad, it's good to hear your voice.
20:14Still blind, huh?
20:16Or are you faking?
20:19Oh.
20:20And either you're blind or you're slow.
20:22I'd believe both.
20:24What's he selling?
20:25Oh, uh, that's just the guy who drove me here.
20:30Gary Kasner.
20:31Kasner?
20:33Happy Hanukkah.
20:35I served with one of your tribe in the Pacific.
20:38Name of Brooklyn.
20:39You know him?
20:40I know a Joe Brookstein.
20:43That's him.
20:44Well, let's go get a tree, boy.
20:46Uh, Dad, I gotta take your shoulder here.
20:50Hands off, girlie.
20:52I didn't fight off a bunker full of horny privates to let you cop a field.
20:56You know, Dad, it's like old times being here on the holidays.
21:09I gotta say, I really like seeing...
21:11Have you been a chauffeur all your life, Kasner?
21:13I've been visiting with Tilly.
21:15Just thought I'd help out.
21:17Tilly?
21:18My old Tilly?
21:19Uh, Dad?
21:21My sweet God!
21:23Is she still around?
21:25She was too old for me 20 years ago.
21:29I don't know what year she told you she was, mister, but...
21:32Addo Dominer's done rolled over.
21:35Dad, it's Christmas.
21:37It doesn't matter what day it is.
21:39You don't talk about her like that.
21:41Tilly's a great woman.
21:43A wonderful woman.
21:44And all you did was dump on her.
21:46Shame on you.
21:48If I catch you talking like that again, I'll kick your ass.
21:53All right, I'm backing down.
21:56One man's trash is another man's treasure.
21:58Hank, I'll wait outside for you.
22:13Uh, a little to your left.
22:17Thanks, Gary.
22:19Oh, you didn't have to leave early on my account.
22:24Where's my eggnog?
22:26Bring me my eggnog.
22:29No problem.
22:35Where are we?
22:36We're not home yet.
22:39I'm taking you to a place that might help you to get your sight back.
22:44I've already seen the doctors.
22:46No, no.
22:47Not medicine.
22:49Faith.
22:49No, that's really nice of you to offer to share your Jewishness with me, but I really don't walk that way.
22:58Hank, trust me.
23:00Hank, I wouldn't take you to a temple without telling you.
23:13Then where are we?
23:13Then where are we?
23:14What's going on?
23:15I know you didn't poke yourself in the eye.
23:18It's not hard to figure out what happened.
23:21You saw me and your mother in the kitchen.
23:25I'm not flattered that it made you go blind, but obviously it's something psychological with you.
23:31That's why we're here.
23:33Welcome, brothers and sisters and all you prayer partners tuning in at home.
23:38Welcome to the Canvas Cathedral.
23:41Canvas Cathedral?
23:43The big TV church on the highway?
23:46You said it was your favorite.
23:48You brought me here?
23:50We're celebrating a special birthday today.
23:53Does anyone know his name?
23:56He's almost 2,000 years old, but he's still going strong.
24:02I think we should give him a round of applause because he's working on his birthday.
24:08I don't really believe in this faith healing stuff, but it's a really nice gesture.
24:13I don't get it.
24:14I haven't been that nice to you.
24:16Enough, enough.
24:18I do it because I love your mom.
24:21Well, she's very fond of you, too.
24:26And it's not such a bad thing, I'm beginning to think.
24:35Hey, hey, no fair.
24:37I didn't see you coming.
24:39Okay.
24:41Got your jollies by now?
24:44He's healing the crippled today on his birthday.
24:51He's healing the blind today on his birthday.
24:57I got a blind man right here.
25:00Is this man your son?
25:02I'd like to think maybe one day.
25:06Yeah, well, I guess that would be an all right way to be thinking.
25:12Blindness, leave this man.
25:25I can see.
25:27Well, boy, I knew you could.
25:29Amazing grace.
25:31He was blind and now he's seen.
25:34We'll be right back after these messages.
25:38Hey, Hank.
25:39How's the weather?
25:41Oh, right.
25:42You're blind.
25:45Now me.
25:46Now me.
25:47Hey, Hank.
25:48You're not wearing any pants.
25:52Man, Hank's good with that damn old stick, man.
25:56He's walking like he can see again, man.
25:58Like, Hank, kind of looking old pookie, man.
26:00Hey, Hank's got his sights, man.
26:01Run!
26:02Get out of here!
26:03Oh, oh, oh.
26:05Now.
26:05Now.
26:06Now.
26:06Now.
26:15Hey, you want to taste something good?
26:18Put the mashed potatoes with the cremage together.
26:21Make a motion around.
26:28This is the best Christmas ever.
26:30It's very good.
