1. Herman's home.
Copy !req
2. Lily, either hang those things
so they don't fall down...
Copy !req
3. or have them tuned.
Copy !req
4. Lily? Lily!
Copy !req
5. I have some wonderful news for you,
and I can't keep it in any longer.
Copy !req
6. I'm busting at the seams.
Copy !req
7. Well, don't do it in here, dear.
I'm getting supper.
Copy !req
8. I have to tell you
what happened today.
Copy !req
9. Mr. Gateman down at the parlor
asked me into his private office,
Copy !req
10. and he gave me
a great compliment.
Copy !req
11. He said I'm one of the few people there
who never lies down on the job.
Copy !req
12. Oh, Herman, you've really stuck
to the job down there.
Copy !req
13. You've seen a lot of people
come and go.
Copy !req
14. Well, don't keep us in midair.
What did your boss say?
Copy !req
15. He gave me a promotion.
Copy !req
16. He's making me manager
of one of our branch offices.
Copy !req
17. Oh, manager!
Copy !req
18. Oh, wait till Grandpa's relatives
in the Old Country hear about this!
Copy !req
19. They'll really sit up on
their hind legs and take notice.
Copy !req
20. There's only one thing.
Copy !req
21. For me to take the job, we have
to sell the house and move to Buffalo.
Copy !req
22. - Sell the house?
- Sell the house?
Copy !req
23. That's right.
Copy !req
24. And then all we Munsters
will just shuffle off to Buffalo.
Copy !req
25. Uh, Spot? Spot! Go fetch!
Copy !req
26. Bring back Daddy.
Copy !req
27. And,
Copy !req
28. uh, inasmuch as this new job
touches all our futures,
Copy !req
29. I thought it very important
to convene the entire family.
Copy !req
30. Big deal.
We were all sitting here, anyway.
Copy !req
31. All you had to do
was start talking.
Copy !req
32. By the way, where's Eddie?
Copy !req
33. He's spending the weekend with
one of his little friends from school.
Copy !req
34. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
35. Well, uh, now,
Copy !req
36. on the pro side of this thing,
Copy !req
37. this promotion will mean
a sizable increase in salary, plus...
Copy !req
38. a lot of other benefits,
which will accrue.
Copy !req
39. But, on the other hand,
Copy !req
40. it is also gonna mean that we...
Copy !req
41. Lily? Grandpa?
Copy !req
42. Oh, where did everyone go?
Copy !req
43. Herman, we're all here.
Copy !req
44. Oh. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
45. Uh, of course.
As I was saying, now...
Copy !req
46. Uh, but, on the other hand,
Copy !req
47. it will also mean selling
this beautiful home,
Copy !req
48. with all its charm and graciousness
and exquisite furniture.
Copy !req
49. And I thought that,
in a matter so vital to all of us,
Copy !req
50. we should put it to a family vote.
Copy !req
51. Uh, Lily?
Herman,
Copy !req
52. a wife's place is with her husband.
Copy !req
53. Whither thou goest, I shall go.
Copy !req
54. Good.
Copy !req
55. Lily has decided to "whither"
with me. Marilyn?
Copy !req
56. Oh, I'd be happy to move to Buffalo.
Copy !req
57. Maybe I'll meet some boys
who won't think I'm so plain.
Copy !req
58. Good. Grandpa?
Copy !req
59. It's all right with me.
I'm as free as a bat.
Copy !req
60. I can pull up stakes anytime.
Copy !req
61. Fine. Then it's all settled.
Copy !req
62. I'll call Mr. Gateman,
tell him I'll take the new job,
Copy !req
63. and we'll put an ad in the newspaper
and sell this house.
Copy !req
64. There's one person we haven't
consulted yet... little Eddie.
Copy !req
65. Oh, well, I'm sure he'll go for it.
Copy !req
66. Children always adjust very easily
to any new environment.
Copy !req
67. It was neat, Eddie,
the way Coach
made you catcher...
Copy !req
68. and picked you for the captain
of the baseball team.
Copy !req
69. There's a lot of guys
better than me.
Copy !req
70. What I think sold the coach
was the way you snagged up
those foul tips with your teeth.
Copy !req
71. You know, Eddie,
now that you're on our team,
Copy !req
72. we'll probably win
the city championship.
Copy !req
73. I hope so.
I sure like going to this school
and all the guys I met.
Copy !req
74. You know, I'd rather live here than
any other place in the whole world.
Copy !req
75. Last year, our best shortstop's family
moved him to another school district,
Copy !req
76. and we lost the finals.
Copy !req
77. So all us guys took an oath
never to speak to him again.
Copy !req
78. You don't have to worry about that.
Copy !req
79. Once, my mother told me we
were gonna live where we are...
Copy !req
80. for the rest of our lives,
and maybe even longer.
Copy !req
81. Oh, boy, somebody's stopping.
Copy !req
82. Naturally.
Copy !req
83. This is the kind of house that would
stand out in any neighborhood.
Copy !req
84. This must be it, Mother.
Copy !req
85. "1313 Mockingbird Lane."
Copy !req
86. Oh, my! That's the kind of a house
in those Alfred Hitchcock pictures...
Copy !req
87. that always gets hit by lightning.
Copy !req
88. Oh, my goodness!
Copy !req
89. Don't sit there, Daddy.
Let's burn rubber!
Copy !req
90. Look at the way they took off.
Copy !req
91. Well, we wouldn't want to sell it
to any hot-rodders, anyway.
Copy !req
92. My, what a setup, eh, Momma?
Copy !req
93. First, we run the séances.
Copy !req
94. Then we make with the phony ghosts.
Then we rake in the dough.
Copy !req
95. Yeah, Poppa.
Copy !req
96. Eh, it's a little clean, but it'll do.
Copy !req
97. Now listen, kids. Don't steal
nothing till we make the deal, eh?
Copy !req
98. Yes?
Copy !req
99. Poppa, what do you think?
Copy !req
100. I think the gypsies got here first
and spook the place already.
Copy !req
101. Uh, excuse the intrude.
Uh, good luck, brother.
Copy !req
102. Grandpa, get inside, quick.
Copy !req
103. Herman, what's the matter?
You look as black as a sheet.
Those were gypsies.
Copy !req
104. They cast spells, practice sorcery
and give people the evil eye.
Copy !req
105. Oh, I'm glad they
didn't buy our house.
Me too.
Copy !req
106. I can't stand competition.
Copy !req
107. Oh, Herman, we've had
open house all day.
Copy !req
108. And the few people who did
show up didn't even come in.
Copy !req
109. I just can't understand it.
Copy !req
110. This house offers everything
a family could want.
Copy !req
111. And we're close-in,
and we have a beautiful yard
with a kidney-shaped swamp.
Copy !req
112. Oh! Susie, if this place is for sale,
Copy !req
113. there must be some
wonderful old relics inside.
Copy !req
114. Perhaps we can
pick them up for a song.
Copy !req
115. Oh!
Copy !req
116. Oh. D-Do you think
we should knock?
Copy !req
117. I think we should go right in.
The sign says "open house."
Copy !req
118. Susan, what a quaint old house.
Copy !req
119. And just look at this antique hat rack.
Copy !req
120. Oh! The wormholes
are already in it.
Copy !req
121. Isn't that fine!
Copy !req
122. We won't have to drill our own.
Copy !req
123. Ooh! And just look
at that newel post.
Copy !req
124. I bet they don't realize its value.
Copy !req
125. We'll tell 'em it's a lot of junk
and then practically steal it.
Copy !req
126. Uh, did you hear something, Lily?
Oh, that's just Spot, dear.
Copy !req
127. He's had indigestion all morning.
Copy !req
128. Oh. I guess he got out again and got
ahold of some bad telephone poles.
Copy !req
129. Grandpa, we want you
to sit on the house for a while.
Copy !req
130. Marilyn and I have to go
downtown shopping,
and Herman has to go out too.
Copy !req
131. Yes. If we're gonna move, we're
gonna have to pack a lot of things.
Copy !req
132. I'm gonna stop by the parlor
and pick up some empty boxes.
Copy !req
133. I'll have the house sold
before you get back.
Copy !req
134. Don't worry about a thing, Lily.
I won't let anyone get away.
Copy !req
135. Oh, how could you, Grandpa?
Copy !req
136. What's the matter?
If someone goes for the chicken
sandwich, we got a deal.
Copy !req
137. Grandpa? We'll have none of that.
Copy !req
138. What we want is someone who loves
the house for its charm alone.
Copy !req
139. Spoilsport.
Copy !req
140. Pops? Pops?
Uh, please.
Copy !req
141. Come on. Wake up!
Let me sleep
another hundred years.
Copy !req
142. Pops.
Oh.
Copy !req
143. I'm sorry.
Yeah, tell me something.
This your ad in the paper?
Copy !req
144. Yes.
This the price?
Copy !req
145. That's right.
I'll take it.
Copy !req
146. You'll take it?
But you haven't seen it yet.
Copy !req
147. Do you wanna argue
or sell the house?
Copy !req
148. Yeah, but...
Here's a check
for the down payment.
Copy !req
149. Just sign this contract
for the temporary bill of sale.
Ooh!
Copy !req
150. Well, thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
151. Yeah, thank you.
Forget it.
Copy !req
152. Oh, and, uh, Pops,
Copy !req
153. if I were you,
I'd get back in the house.
Copy !req
154. You look like you've been out
in the sun too long.
Copy !req
155. Grandpa, that's wonderful.
You sold the house.
Copy !req
156. Well, it did take all my charm
and powers of salesmanship,
Copy !req
157. but I really put on the pressure
and closed that deal.
Copy !req
158. Now we can move to Buffalo,
and Uncle Herman can take his new job.
Copy !req
159. Oh, boy, old Hermie's got it made.
Copy !req
160. ? Ooh, ooh, ooh?
Copy !req
161. Hey, what's all the excitement?
Did Grandpa win
the Transylvanian sweepstakes?
Copy !req
162. No, Eddie, but we have some
wonderful, wonderful news for you.
Copy !req
163. Yeah? Well, I've got some good news too.
It's about the school baseball team.
Copy !req
164. Eddie, uh, just a minute.
Copy !req
165. Your father has a new job.
We just sold the house.
Copy !req
166. And we're all moving to Buffalo.
Copy !req
167. - Isn't that wonderful, Eddie?
- I won't go!
Copy !req
168. I won't! I won't! I won't!
Copy !req
169. You can't make me!
You can't! You can't!
Copy !req
170. I'm not gonna leave my friends!
I'm not! I'm not! I'm not!
Copy !req
171. You can kill me a million,
million times, and I still won't go.!
Copy !req
172. [Door Creaking, Closing]
You know, Lily, I don't think
he exactly cares for the idea.
Copy !req
173. Grandpa, I wonder how Herman's
making out with Eddie.
Copy !req
174. He's upstairs now,
trying to calm him down.
Copy !req
175. I had no idea he'd be so upset
about moving and leaving his friends.
Copy !req
176. I know how it is.
Copy !req
177. In the Old Country,
I was always getting attached
to my friends and neighbors,
Copy !req
178. especially at night.
Copy !req
179. Well, one thing about Herman...
he has a way of getting
to the heart of a matter.
Copy !req
180. And so the little rabbit
said to the prairie dog,
Copy !req
181. "Listen, prairie dog,
why do you take your family...
Copy !req
182. and move out of a perfectly good
burrow to someplace far away?"
Copy !req
183. What's a burrow?
Burrow?
Copy !req
184. Well, it's sort of like
a home, sort of.
Copy !req
185. But what the little rabbit was trying
to tell the prairie dog was...
Copy !req
186. that he shouldn't move
just because he thought the food
was better somewhere else.
Copy !req
187. I think it's dumb for a rabbit
to tell a prairie dog what to do.
Exactly.
Copy !req
188. And you know what happened?
What?
Copy !req
189. The prairie dog did move
with his whole family,
Copy !req
190. and he found out the food was better
and the new burrow was better,
Copy !req
191. and he made lots of new friends
and everything was... neato!
Copy !req
192. And the stupid rabbit stayed
where he was and ate the dumb food...
Copy !req
193. and stayed with his dumb friends.
Right.
Copy !req
194. And somebody probably caught
the rabbit and painted him pink
for Easter or something.
Copy !req
195. Exactly.
That's what the rabbit got...
Copy !req
196. for not grasping at an opportunity
and moving to a new place.
Copy !req
197. So, you see what a good idea it
would be for us all to move to Buffalo?
Copy !req
198. And the prairie dog probably
got eaten by a kangaroo,
Copy !req
199. 'cause he never saw kangaroos before,
and because they didn't have kangaroos
where he used to live.
Copy !req
200. Right. Uh, uh, no.
Copy !req
201. No. No, wrong. Wrong, wrong.
Copy !req
202. Uh, Eddie, kangaroos
don't eat prairie dogs.
Copy !req
203. Uh, they're allergic to them.
Copy !req
204. And the stupid rabbit
stayed where he was...
Copy !req
205. and got fat and had pink kids!
Copy !req
206. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
207. The prairie dog is the hero
of this story, not the rabbit.
Copy !req
208. And the rabbit sent letters to the prairie
dog, but they came back unanswered.
Copy !req
209. So the rabbit knew it was smarter
to stay in his own burrow...
Copy !req
210. than moving away and getting
eaten up by a kangaroo.
Copy !req
211. Wait a minute...
Boy, Dad, thanks for
telling me the neat story.
Copy !req
212. Now I can sleep tonight without
worrying about moving to Buffalo.
Copy !req
213. Gee, Dad, I'm glad you came up here
and explained it to me.
Copy !req
214. Yeah.
Copy !req
215. Sure, Eddie. So am I.
Copy !req
216. Bye, Mom.
Copy !req
217. Bye, Dad.
Bye, son.
Copy !req
218. Now I can go to school and tell
all the guys that I don't have to move...
Copy !req
219. and that I can be the captain
of the school baseball team.
Copy !req
220. Boy, this is the neatest thing
that's happened since
Grandpa dug up Spot for me.
Copy !req
221. Bye, Spot.
Copy !req
222. That happy little skip
in that happy little boy...
Copy !req
223. is worth a fortune
to his dear, old dad.
Copy !req
224. Herman, what happened?
Copy !req
225. Last night, you went up to explain
to Eddie why we had to move to Buffalo.
Copy !req
226. Suddenly, this morning,
it's all off.
Copy !req
227. Well, I tried to explain it to him,
but it just didn't work out.
Copy !req
228. I guess I should've used
the Three Little Pigs.
Copy !req
229. You know, I've always been
rotten with prairie dogs.
Copy !req
230. Well, I'm glad it happened.
Copy !req
231. It just proves to all of us
how much we love this place.
Copy !req
232. I agree, Marilyn.
Copy !req
233. Grandpa, you go call that
gentleman and tell him we
want out of the house deal.
Copy !req
234. I'm gonna go down to the parlor
and tell Mr. Gateman...
Copy !req
235. that I just can't take the new job.
Copy !req
236. Herman, he'll be disappointed,
so let him down gently.
Copy !req
237. Lily, have no fear.
Copy !req
238. In my business, we always
let people down gently.
Copy !req
239. But, Mr. Dennison,
we changed our minds.
Copy !req
240. What do you mean we can't?
A sales contract?
Copy !req
241. Bulldozers, wreckers
on their way over now?
Copy !req
242. Uh, Mr. Dennison, just a minute.
Copy !req
243. You can't talk to me that way.
Copy !req
244. I guess he can.
Copy !req
245. - Can we get our house back, Grandpa?
- I guess not, Eddie.
Copy !req
246. They're on their way over now
with bulldozers to tear it down.
Copy !req
247. Grandpa, what'll we do?
Copy !req
248. Herman's down at the parlor,
and those men will be here any minute.
Copy !req
249. What'll we do? We'll do
what men have done for centuries.
Copy !req
250. We'll stand firm and defend our homes.
Copy !req
251. We'll man the battlements, flood the moat
and pull in the drawbridge.
Copy !req
252. But, Grandpa, we don't have
any battlements or any moat.
Copy !req
253. Marilyn, will you please...
Don't be so technical.
Copy !req
254. I haven't had so much fun since
I started the French Revolution.
Copy !req
255. The chains, Eddie!
Copy !req
256. Right, Grandpa.
Copy !req
257. ?
Copy !req
258. Here's Grandma's best silver.
Copy !req
259. Grandma's best silver.
Copy !req
260. Twenty pounds of bobby pins.
Copy !req
261. That oughta curl their hair.
Copy !req
262. Uh, here's one of Eddie's skates.
Copy !req
263. Oh, Eddie's skates.
Copy !req
264. ?
Copy !req
265. Wait till they get a taste
of this cast-iron fruit salad.
Here they come!
Copy !req
266. Oh, I won't fire unless I have to.
Copy !req
267. I sure hope I have to.
Copy !req
268. They think they can scare us off.
Copy !req
269. Listen, you people, I bought this house
to wreck it, and I'm gonna wreck it.
Copy !req
270. Hold off, sir!
Copy !req
271. Our home is our castle,
and we shall defend it,
Copy !req
272. down to the last man,
woman and child.
Copy !req
273. How do you like them apples, mister?
Copy !req
274. What is this?
Copy !req
275. We've run into trouble
like this before.
Copy !req
276. When we built those freeways,
the little old ladies...
Copy !req
277. tried to throw themselves down
in front of the bulldozers.
Copy !req
278. How come those weird getups?
Copy !req
279. You know these radicals.
They'll do anything to get
their picture in the paper.
Copy !req
280. All right, fellas. Get movin'.
Copy !req
281. Okay, stand back, people.
We're comin' through.
Copy !req
282. Okay, they're asking for it.
Copy !req
283. C'est la vie. That's the way
I goofed at Waterloo.
Copy !req
284. All right, folks.
You had your little joke.
Come on now. Break it up.
Copy !req
285. Yeah, Pops, knock it off.
Copy !req
286. What's going on here?
Copy !req
287. Are they kidding with him?
Copy !req
288. It's just another one
of those Halloween makeups
to try to get us off their backs.
Copy !req
289. Oh, Herman!
It's been a nightmare.
Copy !req
290. These men are gonna tear down
our house, and Mr. Dennison
won't listen to reason.
Copy !req
291. So we've been
protecting ourselves.
Copy !req
292. Lily, please. We'll have
to think this thing over.
Copy !req
293. After all, we did
sign that paper.
Copy !req
294. I knew it! I knew it!
Little Goody Two-shoes
had to show up.
Copy !req
295. Grandpa, right is right.
Copy !req
296. If they bought the house,
they have a right to tear it down.
Copy !req
297. And you can't just go around
aiming a cannon at everybody
without having anarchy.
Copy !req
298. And anarchy is violence.
Copy !req
299. And violence is... very naughty.
Copy !req
300. What are you going to do, Uncle Herman,
just let them take the house from us?
Copy !req
301. Marilyn, we shouldn't have signed
that piece of paper without reading it.
Copy !req
302. No, I'm going to ask them
if they'll allow us a few weeks
to find a place to live.
Copy !req
303. Aw, Pop, let's smash 'em now
and talk later.
Copy !req
304. Eddie, please!
Copy !req
305. Uh, good afternoon, gentlemen.
Copy !req
306. Uh, I think there's something
we should discuss.
Copy !req
307. Listen, jack. I bought this house
to tear it down and put in a parking lot.
Copy !req
308. So why don't you just get out.
Copy !req
309. But, sir, uh, uh...
Copy !req
310. Uh, we... Uh...
Copy !req
311. Gentlemen, gentlemen, I think
we should talk this thing over.
Copy !req
312. Uh, now, look.
Copy !req
313. You seem to be reasonable types.
Copy !req
314. Uh, if you look
at the thing my... Oh.
Copy !req
315. If you look at the thing my way,
you'll just go back to your office...
Copy !req
316. and tear up that contract.
Copy !req
317. You see, Lily?
If you reason with people,
they'll see the light.
Copy !req
318. They were in such a hurry to get
back and tear up the contract,
they left their machinery behind.
Copy !req
319. Herman, you saved our home.
Copy !req
320. Pop, you're a hero.
Copy !req
321. Oh, shucks, it... it was nothing.
Copy !req
322. Herman. Herman, we don't
want the neighbors to think
we keep an untidy place.
Copy !req
323. Go out and pick up the street.
Copy !req
324. Yes, dear.
Copy !req
325. "And the property, therefore, reverts
to the original owner, Herman Munster."
Copy !req
326. That's wonderful!
That's great!
We have our house back.
Copy !req
327. Signed R. Dennison.
Copy !req
328. Hmm. Poor man writes
with a shaky hand.
Copy !req
329. What did they say
down at the parlor, dear?
Copy !req
330. Oh, well, Mr. Gateman decided
