I'm Theo... Whoa!
Oh, Ouch, Man!
What's The Matter?
Hey, You All Right?
Dad, I Was Taking A Shower
And This Tile Fell Off The Wall Into The Tub.
It Probably Heard You Rap And Wanted To Drown Itself.
Where's Your Toolbox?
I'll Glue It Back On.
There's A Right Way And A Wrong Way To Do That.
I Know The Right Way.
I'll Do It.
Hi, Theo.
Mom, We're In Trouble.
This Tile Fell Into The Tub.
Dad's Going To Get His Toolbox To Fix It.
Is It Just This One Tile?
Yeah.
It's Not A Problem Then.
That's The Kind Of Job He Can Handle.
We Let Him Do The Small Jobs.
He's Happy And Doesn't Tear Up The House.
Mom, This Is Why You're Mom.
So...
I Hear You're Going
To Fix A Tile.
That's Right.
You're Looking Mighty Cute In That Tool Belt.
I've Got One In Suede, Too.
Not Much Of A Challenge, But I'm Up To It.
Theo, I Want You To Pay Attention.
Sometime, You May Get Married
And Have To Do Something Like This.
Grab A Little Of The Glue.
Give It A Little Tap Here.
Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap.
Just Like They Do On Tv.
Make It Look Smooth Like That?
Put This In Like This.
And You Place This In Like So... Gently.
Give It A Little Firm Uhh.
Now Comes The Big One.
Pull Him On Out.
Look Out.
You Just Work It Nicely.
Don't Worry About Anything.
Just Like They Do On Tv.
Wait A Minute, Just Push That Back Up.
And We Don't Panic.
If Something Falls Out, We Just Go Ahead And Do That.
Come Over This Way And Put That Back Like That.
You See How Smooth That Is, Son?
We Reach Over And We Grab This.
Smooth It Right On Out.
Don't Worry About Anything.
Just Like They Do On Tv.
Just Don't Worry.
And You Knock It In, See?
It's All Set.
You Know What The Problem Is Here?
I'm Going To Tell You Exactly What The Problem Is.
There Is A Leaky Pipe Back Here.
That's What's Causing All Of This.
What I'm Going To Have To Do Is Bust Through Here
To Get Back To The Leaky Pipe.
You're Not Thinking Of Doing That By Yourself?
No, I'll Get Theo To Help Me.
All I Have...
I Need Theo's Help In The Kitchen.
I'll Do It Myself.
All Right.
I May Have To Get My Suede Belt For This One.
Did You Hear What He Said?
He's Going Into The Wall.
He's Never Gone Into A Wall Before.
We Must Stop Him Before He Tears This House Down.
You Never Know, Mom.
Maybe Dad Can Do The Job.
We Better Stop Him.
Thank You.
This Is What We're Going To Do.
We'll Get The Plumbers.
Go Down To Your Father's Office.
Call Everybody On The List.
How Do I Know Who's Any Good?
Call Everybody On The List.
Hello, Apex Plumbers?
Could You Please Come Over And Stop My Husband?
This Is An Emergency.
How Much Are They Paying You?
I'll Pay You Double.
This Is Taking Too Much Time.
I'll Call You Back.
Hey.
How's It Going?
Everything's Going Fine.
I'm Just Trying To Remember Where I Put My Sledgehammer.
Sledgehammer?
Yeah.
It's At Jeffrey Engels' House.
Jeffrey Engels Went On Vacation.
No, He Didn't.
I Saw Him Picking Up A Newspaper Today.
I'll Be Back.
And Then, Whammo!
Yes, Plumber?
Oh, Sondra.
Honey, I'm Sorry.
I Can't Talk Now.
We Have A Family Crisis.
Your Father Is Getting Ready To Go Into The Wall.
It's A Plumbing Problem, Sondra.
It's A Leak.
Yes, Dear, I...
I Know That, Sondra.
Darlin', This Is Not The Time For Wilderness Psychology.
What I Need Is A Plumber.
Friends Of Yours?
Are They Reliable?
Give Me The Number.
I'm Sorry, Sondra.
I'm Warning You.
My Dad May Not Be Too Receptive To You.
But For The Rest Of Us, Thank You.
We Haven't Done Anything Yet.
Yes, You Have.
You're Here.
These Are The Three Professionals
Who Have Come To Do The Work.
Hi, I'm Jennifer.
Andy.
I'm Ted.
We're "The Home Healers."
You're Professionals?
That's Right.
We're Friends Of Sondra And Elvin's.
We Graduated With Them.
From Princeton?
Yes.
I Didn't Know
Princeton Had A Plumbing Major.
What Was Your Major?
Art History.
And What Do You Do?
Welding And Fixture Installation.
What Was Your Major?
I Majored In Psychology, Minored In Anthropology.
I Do The Plumbing.
I Have A Masters Degree In Electrical Engineering.
At Least You Do The Electrical Work?
No, I Do The Plastering.
I Guess You'd Like To Get Started.
I'll Show You.
Okay, Great.
I Like These People, Cliff.
Let's Tell Them To Get Started Right Away.
Okay, But If They Mess Up, I Want You To Give Me
The Opportunity To Go Behind Them And Do It Right.
Okay.
May I Have My Sledgehammer Back?
No, This Stays With Me.
Hi.
Hi.
Do You Mind If I Watch?
No, Not At All.
All Right.
I Cut Out That Bad Pipe.
I'm Replacing It.
Couldn't You Stop The Leak With A Clamp?
That Would Stop It Temporarily.
This New Pipe Is Much Better.
Yeah, That's What I Would Have Done.
I Just Have To Put This Elbow On The Pipe.
That Doesn't Look Easy.
It Looks Like A Two-Man Job To Me.
It Could Be A Two-Man Job
But It Also Could Be A One-Woman Job.
I Hear You.
You Know, I Could Use An Assistant.
Really, Well I Can Go Get My Stuff Right Away.
Great.
Be Right Back.
Rudy... Please.
Thank You.
Stop!
Stop What?
I'm Just Drinking My Milk.
No, You're Not.
You're Trying To Bother Me.
No, I'm Not.
It's Your Imagination.
Rudy, You Have Been Pestering Me All Day.
Now I Want You To Stop.
But I'm Bored.
Of Course You're Bored.
You're A Boring Person.
Why Don't You Try To Develop Some Interests?
Read A Good Book.
Do Artwork.
Go To A Museum.
