Episode 12: The Restaurant


Margarita has a lot of money from her husband's insurance claims and from selling her last house before moving in with Whitnee's family. But she doesn't let the rest of the family know that, which is why they are confused when she suggests she take them out to dinner in a fancy restaurant in Ariapita Avenue. They are even more confused when she shows up with Buddy, the local vagrant, who has not showered in a month. He still smells of yesterday's urine 'accident'.


Buddy is not impressed by the restaurant. Ricky and Whitnee suddenly want to go home to spare themselves the embarrassment that Margarita has gotten them into. They walk far behind and pretend not to know them.

Buddy hurries into the toilet. He strips naked, takes out a sponge and begins washing himself immediately.


Ricky accidentally walks in. He is going to have nightmares later.


Whitnee orders for the entire family. As the food arrives, Buddy begins ramming all of the food into his mouth. Whitnee and Ricky feel sickened. They feel even more sickened and disturbed when Margarita says she wants to try for a baby with Buddy, despite both of them being over 60 years old. Buddy does not seem to care about anything Margarita is talking about. He does not seem aware of anything that is going on.


After they eat and pay the bill, Buddy begins complaining about stomach pains. He is convinced the waiters poisoned the food and begins rambling about how the Government is trying to kill him.


He storms into the workers' kitchen, demanding to know who poisoned his food. The female staff shiver in fright. The chef holds up a frying pan, ready to whack Buddy over the head.



They call Margarita to escort him out and they kindly ask them to leave. Margarita is angry and cancels her baby plans with Buddy. Whitnee has never been more embarrassed and begins thinking about good retirement homes.


Buddy's rage has still not calmed, though, and he takes a glass of water and throws it in the head waiter's face.


Shortly after, the police arrive. They calm Buddy down. The restaurant decides not to press charges. But Buddy, Margarita, Ricky and Whitnee have been banned there for life.
