251 I just wanted to tell you that the boys are now 252 uh -- lice-free. - Good to hear. 253 I just can't figure out how it happened. They get a bath every night. Trust me. 254 It's the ugliest 15 minutes of the day. - I believe you. 255 I keep thinking maybe it was the petting zoo I took them to last week. 256 That llama was really iffy. - Mrs Scavo, it doesn't work that way. 257 Lice only spread from human to human. Even the cleanest kid can get it 258 if he gets too close to the wrong kid. - Really? 259 Yes. So don't be so hard on yourself, uh? - I guess. Still I feel a little guilty. 260 After all, my kids started an entire lice outbreak. 261 Look, your kids didn't start it. - They didn't? 262 No! I know that Patient Zero was another little boy. It's his 4th time with this problem. 263 Oh! There's a load off my mind. 264 Well, thank you. 265 So which kid is it? - I can't tell you. You know we have a "no blame" policy. 266 We have to protect the children. You'll understand. - Of course. 267 No, I don't. You have to give me a name. - Mrs Scavo... 268 Here's the thing: acting like parents won't assign blame is like 269 pretending they don't keep score at PW League games. It's human nature. 270 If you don't give the mob someone to blame, they pick a scapegoat. 271 I can't let my boys be the scapegoats. - Please don't put me in this position. 272 I'm begging you. We've already been uninvited from a birthday party, a really big one 273 with a bouncy house and a hot dog stand and a clown... 274 I wish I could help you. 275 For god's sake, and a magician! Tammy Brandon went all out. 276 Tammy Brandon? Topher's mother? - Yes. 277 Now isn't that interesting? 278 Have a seat. 279 Meanwhile at the Fairview County prison, Maisy Gibbons was delighted to hear she had a visitor. 280 But she was soon reminden one should always be aware of visitors... 281 bearing gift baskets. 282 You gotta be kidding me. 283 Hello Maisy. 284 Stuff like this is why I love you. 285 What brings you here? 286 I need a favor. - I thought as much. 287 I heard there is a little black book with the name of your clients in it. 288 There is. 289 I was wondering if perhaps you could remove Rex's name. 290 Wow, that's a big favor. Those muffins better be really good. 291 I have some money I have been putting aside for emergencies. It can be yours if you just... 292 Keep my mouth shut? 293 Continue to be discreet. 294 Gosh. I don't know. 295 I don't think it's asking much. Just remove one little name. 296 But if I do it for you, I have to do it for all the other wives. 297 That wouldn't be fair, now would it? 298 Maisy! Please! We used to be good friends! 299 Where were you when Harold lost his job a year ago? Did you stop by to offer your help? 300 Did you bring a big basket of baked goods when we couldn't even pay our bills? |
