Where's dinner?
I'm finished.
Hi, Jerry.
Just cleaning the house before the gala tonight.
Can't leave it a mess.
You do remember the gala, right?
Oh, of course I did.
I saw a couple of snowflakes fall outside.
I thought that was peculiar.
Oh, one second.
Can you get that?
I'll get started on dinner.
Oh, Elise.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Surprise.
What's happening here?
Jerry, I just couldn't help myself.
Frank is getting ready for the gala.
I just thought I'd stop by.
Honey, look.
Elise is here.
Maybe you two can catch up while I do something else.
Hi, Hallie.
Hi, Elise.
How are you?
I'm great.
Frank, the old brute, is back at the house getting ready.
As you can see, I'm already dressed and ready to go.
What do you think?
Oh, it's great, Elise.
Well, I just wanted to see if you were getting ready.
You might wanna hurry.
There's supposed to be a big snowstorm coming.
Snowstorm?
Oh, yeah.
Frank wouldn't shut up about it all day.
Although he won't pick up a shovel to save his life.
If only I had a man like Jerry to take care of the house when I needed a break.
Anyway, gotta go.
Good luck.
Have to make sure Frank is ready to go so we can leave on time.
Frank.
I didn't know there was gonna be a snowstorm.
Jerry, we have to get ready.
What about dinner?
Looks like it's up to me.
You know honey, your coffee is the dream.
Well thank you, I know how much you love it.
But honey, none of those Russians come with their dirty bombs and ruin its delicious flavor.
Oh no, hon.
It's the only coffee on the market that has that lead lined tin to help keep out those perky radiation waves.
Will it still have that great flavor?
Absolutely.
No matter war or peace, Spangler coffee has that great flavor that you love.
Jerry, what do you think?
Where did he go?
Oh.
Honey, I think I turned on the stove.
Can you come check?
The potatoes.
What'd you say?
One sec.
What do you think of this one?
Jerry?
Oh, is this too much?
Oh, I don't know.
One second.
I'm coming, Jerry.
This is the one.
Oh, one second.
Jerry?
Where did he go this time?
I think I burned the potatoes.
Jerry, I told you to stay out of the kitchen.
And your hand I don't know how you do it, honey.
That kitchen is a monster.
It almost killed me.
Oh lord.
What was that?
Oh, it's really coming down out there.
The car.
He was right about the potatoes.
Jerry?
Oh, where is that man?
At this point, Elise can take him.
So I worked out what Elise meant about the snowstorm earlier.
Jerry, first kitchen and now this.
What was I supposed to do?
It wasn't my fault.
It was the snows.
Oh no.
The gallop.
Hey pal, what's got you down?
Oh, shucks, Ron.
I've been a little down.
No matter what I do, I just can't get gals to like me.
Have you tried chiseling?
Chiseling.
Chisel, Chew, like any other gum but with a rizzy kick.
One stick and you'll be chiseled for love.
Wowee.
With a soft minty flavor and enough uppers to kill a squirrel, Chisel Chew is the gum for the budding tea.
Hey, handsome.
Watchy whiz.
Chisel your jawline with Chisel chew.
Jer, we missed the gala.
It's okay, honey.
There's other galas.
Right?
We couldn't even get the car out of the driveway.
What a hunk of junk.
Who could that be?
I'll get it.
Elise, what are you doing here?
Oh, just coming to check-in.
Snow is pretty bad out there, Old Frank is out cold at the house.
Just gives me more time to come say hi to Cherry.
Why aren't you at the gala?
Oh, it was canceled.
Didn't you hear?
Anyways, I'll be going.
Frank has to take his meds, so I have to go wake him up.
Hey.
We didn't miss the gala after all.
That's right.
It would have been difficult getting there anyhow, given the snow.
You know, a night snowed in with you sounds like a dream come true.
What do you say?
Wanna sit on the couch and watch some TV?
Oh, Jera, I thought you'd never ask.
