Stupid dog! You made me look bad!
Darn quilt dust!
Giving me allergies.
Muriel!
Ow'.!
'(CHOM PS) "(LAUG HS)
I'm waiting in the truck!
Oh, my!
Would you look at that!
May I help you?
Yes, thank you. I...
May I help you?
Why, yes, but...
May we help you?
Oh. Oh, my! Hello. I'm Muriel.
Aleeza Stitch.
Eliza Stitch.
The Stitch sisters!
How do you do? I was wondering about your quilt club.
Yes. Our quilt club.
Oh, so many different designs.
Did your quilt club do this?
There's a little bit of everyone in it, yes.
Oh, it's lovely.
I love my quilting.
But it's such a lonely hobby to do all by myself.
It would be so nice to belong.
We are very particular about who may join.
Why don't you bring in samples of your work?
I know just the thing.
See these old swatches?
They're from Eustace's old things.
I've been making a memory quilt for him out of—
We prefer to make new memories here.
I see.
Oh, well, I suppose I could try quilting something else.
Yes, you must.
And we'll see if you're quilt material.
Quilt-club material.
(LAUGHING) Yes.
(WHINING) Muriel!
Stupid quilts.
Stupid dust.
No, these won't do at all.
(WHINING) Muriel?
Muriel?
Let me see. What would impress them?
Something bright and colorful.
I know.
Hmm. Hmm.
How badly do you want to belong to the club?
Well, I've always enjoyed belonging to clubs.
And I'd be happy to make tea for everybody.
(GROWLING) No!
This rag is not special at all. You'll have to try again.
- You call this tea? - (CUP SMASHING)
- (TRAY CLATTERING) - Muriel!
wens)
How badly do you want to belong?
Very badly.
How does your husband feel about it?
You mean Eustace? I'll guess I'll ask him.
(GROWLING) No!
You'll have to do better than that trifle.
Muriel, throw out all this junk and make me some...
Huh?
Oh, what the...
I'm getting into that club. I'm getting in.
How badly do you want to belong?
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
More than you belong with Eustace?
Who?
Welcome to the quilt club.
And tonight will be your initiation.
Come in. Come in.
But where are the other members?
- Muriel, dear. - (DOOR CLOSING)
For your initiation,
all you have to do is quilt this symbol...
Into this fabric.
Yes! Anything! Anything! Right away!
The symbol is a universal sign of everlasting life
dating back to prehistoric man.
Descended from Abyssinia,
through Babylonia,
past Constantinople,
and all the way to Broadway and 42nd Street.
(LAUGHS) Just joking.
Humph!
Excellent.
You're ready to join us at last.
Oh, goody-goody!
Now, let's all sew your patch to the quilt.
And you'll never be lonely again.
- Are the other members coming? - You'll be meeting them all very soon.
Just as soon as we've added your block to the quilt.
It's so good to belong.
It's good to belong.
No!
Forget it, mutt! She doesn't want you anymore.
In another minute, she won't remember you or anything.
And there'll be nothing to ever remind her again.
- (GASPS) Courage!
- Help! - (BOTH LAUGHING)
(CHANTING) Be, believe, belong.
Leave the circle never. Weave the quilt forever.
(CHANTING) Be, believe, belong.
Be, believe, belong.
She won't be needing that anymore.
Let's throw it away!
No! No!
Eh?
Eustace?
Eustace!
(GROWLING) No!
COURAGE". Muriel, H! save you!
Courage!
(GROWLING) No!
Oh, my, Courage!
(GROWLING) No! - (BOTH SCREAMING)
My very own quilt club!
Ladies, would you like some tea?
Muriel, I'm all out of tissues.
Oh, my!
No!
EW!
They've got everything at this bazaar, Courage.
I know I'll find Eustace the perfect anniversary gift.
Isn't this grand, Courage?
I'm so excited,
I can hardly feel that wood tick stuck on my toe.
Ooh, I take that back.
If you wouldn't mind, Courage...
'(CHOM PS) "(LAUG HS)
Thank you, Courage. That feels much better.
I can walk just fine now.
That'll look just perfect on her.
Man's gotta take good care of his truck.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Oh, Eustace, I found the perfect anniversary gift.
Uh, me, too.
Uh, I got you...
- A hat! - (METAL CLANGING)
- It suits you. - (SHIRLEY WHISTLES)
Look, Eustace.
Oh. Oh.
What are you making them weird sounds for?
She sighs because she burns to possess the beautiful amulet.
Mmm-hmm.
You may have the precious treasure for a mere $5.
$5 for that? You're crazy!
$5.
Okay, uh...
- I'll give you the dog. - (GASPS)
Stupid dog! Get back here!
Fine. Take this.
The deed to my oil well.
An oil well? Yes.
That is a price worthy of so fine a gift.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Eustace.
- (WHINES) - What?
This is not oil well!
This is Oil bill!
I have been swindled!
(CHANTING) Swindling man and swindling wife,
bear this curse upon your life.
Instead of swindling for your lover,
you shall swindle one another!
Oh, Eustace, I'm all in a tizzy about the new necklace.
I really gotta get that exhaust pipe fixed.
Look how it sparkles.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's for dessert?
Your favorite. Creme brulee!
(SALIVATING) Ooh!
Huh?
Come and get it.
What?
Hey!
You swindled me out of my dessert!
I'll play you for your piece, double or nothing.
I already ate mine.
Loser!
Why don't you wash that dessert down with some tea?
There's a fine idea. (SLURPS)
You do look thirsty.
Have some more.
Gotta get you some more tea.
Oh, my! All that tea.
Nature's calling.
Huh?
Ooh!
Can't get through without a token.
But I've got to go!
Three bucks!
Loads me up with tea! Then makes me pay!
There!
And your rocking chair!
What?
Every time a winner! Who is next?
Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
Step up! Step up! Step up!
Who's next?
Come on. Come on. Come on.
The dog puts up a peanut.
Lady luck rules.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Dog goes home with six peanuts!
Stupid dog!
Playing for peanuts!
Man puts up a telly!
Lady luck rules!
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Oh!
Man goes home without a telly.
Hey, wait...
- The cops! Beat it! - Argh!
What?
Gonna be rain. (BLEATING)
Heel it in my wool.
40 days, 40 nights. Lots of rain! (BLEATING)
Oh, my!
Better use your refrigerator like a big boat.
Save yourself.
And two of every kind of fancy kitchenware you got.
So, get that fridge out front now.
Heed the sheep! (BLEATING)
wens)
You might need an umbrella.
Oh!
Where's the rain? Where's my stuff? Where's my fridge?
(CHANTING) Well, Nowhere needs a band with a capital B,
and that rhymes with T that shares an alphabet with P,
and that stands for "Please, join up and pay me!"
- (XYLOPHONE PLAYING) - You're making me deaf!
Come on, join up! Don't just sit there!
And whatever you do, don't throw your chair!
Argh!
Or your grandfather clock!
Or your floors! - (COURAGE SCREAMS)
Or your...
Those two swindlers get what they deserve.
Let's see how those teenagers who don't share food are doing.
They give me rotten bananas.
So I give them rotten bananas!
Swindling begets only swindling, just as selfishness begets banana heads.
Giving back what your friends have swindled would not undo the curse.
They must suffer. (LAUGHING)
It is too bad.
But what is this?
That is so sweet.
He brings her comfort.
He cares about the suffering of another.
Eh, I undo their curse.
Aw.
Hmm.
- What do you got left? - What do you got?
- I asked you first. - Cheeky, aren't you?
- (CHOMPING) What?
How'd she keep that from me?
- Hey, look over there! - (MICROSCOPE SMASHING)
Oh, moving is always a hassle.
But it does have more space.
"(LAUG HS) '(CHOM PS)
Oh, my! I feel so much better!
The stupid one has taken on the pain of his wife.
He has learned to give relief and share pain.
Uh, I take away curse.
- (CHAIR SQUEAKING) - You see, Courage,
when you go around swindling people, sooner or later you get swindled yourself.
That's why honesty is always best. Isn't that right, Eustace?
So, if I win you get packing. If you win, you can move to my earlobe.
Five aces! What do you say to that, tick?
Six aces! I'm moving up!
