Video summary
The video presents the opening and closing segments of a high school theater production titled "Maid to Order," a comedic play set in an Upper East Side household preparing for a dinner party with a wealthy guest. The narrative centers on the chaotic efforts of the Malager family, specifically the demanding mother, Mrs. Malager, who insists that every detail of her home and appearance be flawless before the arrival of Mr. Charleston. Her two maids, Sarah and Janice, struggle to maintain order while dealing with various interruptions, including a persistent suitor named Gerald who constantly tries to impress his mother, and a clumsy maid named Bethany who frequently makes mistakes under pressure. The atmosphere is one of frantic preparation where even minor issues, such as misplaced clothes or a single fly, are treated with extreme seriousness by the matriarch.
Complicating the evening further is the unexpected arrival of James, Sarah's brother, who has been hiding in the house to avoid his own troubles and owes money to the guest. When Mr. Charleston arrives for dinner, the situation descends into confusion as James attempts to sneak out unnoticed but is discovered by Mrs. Malager. The misunderstanding escalates when the police are called due to a reported home invasion, leading to a frantic search within the house where everyone becomes a suspect. As the authorities investigate and the family hides in various rooms, the plot thickens with revelations about past relationships, financial debts, and the true identities of the characters, all while the dinner party remains in jeopardy.
The climax of the story resolves the chaos through a series of comedic misunderstandings that are finally cleared up once the police arrive and realize there is no actual intruder. It is revealed that James was merely hiding to avoid his sister's disapproval and his own financial issues, rather than being a criminal, while the "home invader" was simply a door-to-door salesman who had been mistaken for a threat. The mother's obsession with perfection leads her to confront her maid Janice, who finally snaps and demands justice against the man she believes is responsible for ruining her perfect evening. Ultimately, the family reconciles their differences, James agrees to pay back his debts, and the mother accepts that her rigid standards are causing unnecessary trouble, leading to a heartwarming conclusion where everyone celebrates a happy ending despite the day's disasters.
The play concludes with the cast taking their bows and the director expressing immense pride in the freshman and sophomore students who have worked hard to bring this production to life. The speaker highlights the dedication of the young actors, noting that many are performing on stage for the first time yet delivering a professional-quality show thanks to the support of generous donors and community members who helped build the set and manage technical aspects. The video ends with an invitation for the audience to return in the spring for the next play, "Too Many Ghosts," which promises to be even larger and funnier, reinforcing the theater program's commitment to fostering talent and joy through the arts.

tonight. Um the kids have worked really
really hard on this play and I think
it's I think it's pretty good. Um I
remember the very first time that I
stood on this stage. It was a very long
time ago and I won't say exactly how
long, but I was a freshman in high
school. I had about 10 lines. I don't
remember them, but what I do remember is
that feeling that I had the first time I
heard the audience laugh and I never got
over it. I have a whole pack of freshman
up here tonight. Kids that have never
been on the stage before. Um, most of
them are freshman. I have two sophomore
boys. One of them has been on the stage
before. We have one veteran. That's it
tonight. And I want you to keep that in
mind when you watch the play tonight
because I don't think I don't think they
look too much like noviceses. I think
they've done a really good job. I'm so
proud of them and I can't imagine what
they're going to be like in a few years
if they stay with it. I also have a
whole bunch of people that I need to
thank like our families that donated
things. Um, I had a very generous donor.
I had people help build the set. I had
people help with the sound system. I
could not have done this without all of
those people. And we would not be up
here giving this presentation tonight if
we hadn't had all that help. And so,
thank you. OUT [applause]
in the spring. If you if you enjoy it
tonight, please come back in the spring
because our spring play will be bigger,
lots more kids in it. And it's uh what's
it called, guys?
>> OH, TOO MANY GHOSTS. TOO MANY GHOSTS.
And it's hilarious. So, we're really
looking forward to that one, too. Um,
we're going to spend as long as I stay
up here working hard to bring this
program as high as we can because the
kids really love it and I really love it
and I think it's going to do great
things. So, without further ado, we'll
get going.
[applause]
Oh, Sarah, I believe you missed a spot.
>> Oh, did I?
>> Down further. Further? That's the spot
of business.
>> Gerald.
>> Yes, Mommy.
>> Keep your Philly feet off that table.
Janice.
>> Yes, ma'am. What time is it?4 to 6,
ma'am. Quarter to 6. Oh my. They'll be
here shortly. Bethany.
>> Yes, ma'am. I want everything in this
house to be in tiptop shape. If so much
as a single hair is out of place, I
SWEAR TO YOU, I
>> WHAT?
>> OH, SORRY, DARLING. Mom is a teensy
See, we have a very important
guest coming this. So, everything must
be perfect. Got it?
>> Yes, ma'am. Splendid. Janice.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Very, very important. What do you think
of my dress? Is it too much? No, not at
all, ma'am. It's perfect.
>> Perfect. Perfect. I can do better than
perfect. I shall return shortly.
Do not disappoint me.
>> So, Sarah, we're finally alone.
You know, I'd be willing to ask mother
to give you a pay raise if you'd be
willing to do a little extra work just
for me.
>> Sir, I I don't What's that, ma'am?
Sarah, Mrs. Malager would like to see
you upstairs when you finish dusting the
tables.
>> She still has a little more to clean.
>> It looks clean to me, sir.
>> I guess I just have good eyes.
>> Sarah, Mrs. Malager is calling you.
>> I didn't hear anything.
>> I guess I just have good ears. Go on,
Sarah. You don't want Mrs. Malager to
get too upset.
Is there anything I can help you with,
SIR?
>> GET BACK to work.
>> The coast is clear.
>> Thank you, Bethany. Gerald's getting
more and more persistent, and I'm
running out of excuses to leave. Don't
worry, he won't get far as long as I'm
around. You're not the first maid he's
made a move on, and you sure won't be
the last.
>> I just wish he wouldn't sneak up on me.
He's given me more heart attacks than
heart flutters.
>> He has to sneak up on you. No girl with
time to think would come within 2 feet
of him. It's a good thing you can smell
from 10 ft away.
>> Relax. You've lasted here longer than
the last remaining. She was gone in a
month.
>> I've only been working here for 3 weeks.
>> Oh, well, I'm sure you'll be fine.
>> Bethany, can I have to stay away?
Hey sir, how you doing?
>> James, what are you doing here?
>> Well, I was in the neighborhood. I fig
I'd pop in and say a quick hello. Say,
nice place.
>> James, what are you doing in the Upper
East Side? You can't even afford a hot
dog here.
>> I was just visiting a friend of mine.
>> Please tell me it wasn't that lone shark
again. James, I really don't think
>> Sarah. I'm offended.
>> Well, were you? Yes, but you see, let's
have a fun. I want to see Mr. Canon
because I took his money and made wads
with it.
>> James, that's great. And
>> I spend it making a surefire hit. I call
the spatula. Park each time. Park
spatula. Get it spatul later.
>> Oh, James.
>> Well, I want to see Mr. C.
I asked him for more time cuz I told him
told him tragic tale of our sigly young
sister and how I needed the money for
her operation. See sir, she's all I got
left in without her life just isn't
worth living and let a single tear fall
from my eye. She's please sir she's all
got left in me
>> and
>> and she chased me up and down the
street. No sir, she just see me. I was
leap dodging text and leaping over food
carts. Getting pretty good at it. Gee,
I'm so proud. You still haven't told me
why you're here.
>> Well, it's kind of long. I'm leaving.
>> What do you mean leaving?
>> Getting on the 9:45 train. 10 subs
later, I'll start a new life.
>> Oh, okay. Are you insane?
>> Maybe. That's why I needed help. I was
wondering if maybe perhaps you let me
stay here for a while just until it gets
dark and sneak out unnoticed. James,
I really don't think that it would be
good.
>> Please, sir, I'm on my knees here. You
set yourself. This house is big enough
to get lost in.
So, Mr. Cam is going to kill me.
>> That's an exaggeration.
>> I wish it was.
>> What am I supposed to do, James?
>> Don't worry, I'll figure it out. I
swear. Please.
>> Not a soul know that.
>> Sarah, I Who's this? Not a soul, huh?
Another man. Sarah, you work fast.
>> Wait, no. I'm her brother and you are.
>> James, this is my friend Bethany.
Bethany, this is my brother, James. He
was just leaving.
>> Pleasure is all mine. Said Bethany, you
don't mind if I stay here for a while,
would you?
>> No, not at all.
>> Well, this is precious. Might I remind
you that if Mrs. Maliger finds you here
and us not working, she may just die
screaming?
>> Would that really be so bad?
>> She sure doesn't mind. I don't think can
stay.
>> Please,
>> please. Oh, fine. But hi. Don't make a
sound. Don't touch anything. And most
importantly, I know nothing about this.
James, we both know I can't lie to save
my life.
>> All right, guess we go take a nap to
cover something.
>> May I suggest the upstairs linen closet?
It's roomy. Go down the hall on the
right. Make a left. Go up the stairs.
Make a right. And it should be the
second door on the left.
>> All righty. I'm off.
>> Gerald. Gerald. Where did she run off
to?
>> Is everything in order, girl?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> And wonderful. Where is that boy?
>> What boy? There's no boy. What makes you
think there's a boy?
>> You called mother.
>> Ah, yes, dear. Come take a seat with
mommy.
>> Janice, dear. Yes, ma'am. Just what do
you think you're doing?
>> I'm Get out.
>> Of course. Run away.
>> Now, darling, I have something very,
very important to discuss with you. You
see, it's been so long since your
father's passing. Well, your mommy has
needs.
>> Oh, mother. I
>> You see, the guest coming this gig is a
very, very old friend of a very good
friend of mine. That's why your mommy
dearest wants to make a very good
impression on him. Well, with all your
father's passing and all, God rest his
soul. That I was hoping was well that
perhaps I could see him more often. Oh,
what am I saying?
>> Mother, I
>> don't me here. There's no way you could
approve. No one could ever replace your
father in my heart. So, how could I
expect you to accept him in your heart?
Oh, I'm sorry if I brought this up.
>> Mother, I understand.
>> I knew you. What?
>> So, he's your boyfriend?
>> I guess if you want to consider my
boyfriend. Oh, it sounds so silly.
>> Oh, mommy. As you said, it has been a
very, very long time.
>> Oh, Gerald, you don't know how wonderful
it is to hear you say that. Now, more
importantly, what do you think of my
dress? Is it too casual?
>> It's very nice, mother.
>> Very nice? That's hardly any better than
perfect. Janice,
>> you told me this dress was perfect.
Gerald here tells me it's very nice.
Which one is it, Janice?
>> Well, I
>> spit it out.
>> I think it's perfect.
>> You think? You think? Do you want to
embarrass me, Janice?
>> Of course not, man.
>> No. Then get upstairs and find me
something better than very nice before I
find a new assistant. Someone with this
in fashion. Of course, run away.
Oh, and Gerald, don't forget to wash up.
Come over here.
>> What are you two doing? Um, we were I
>> There was a fly. A very large fly. You
don't want your guests to think your
house is dirty, do you?
>> Dirty?
>> No. You're fine.
>> As I was saying. Oh, where was I? Ah,
wash up. We'll be here any minute.
>> Yes, mother.
>> Splendid.
>> No need to keep looking. You've already
caught it.
>> I'm sorry.
>> No, no. You're supposed to say caught
what, Gerald?
>> Okay. Caught what, Gerald?
>> My heart.
>> Sarah, you have something on your
shoulder.
>> Do I?
>> My arm.
>> Sarah,
Miss Ner like to see you upstairs.
>> Oh. Um. All right. Now,
>> Stephanie. Um, yes, Master.
>> Come take a seat next to me.
>> What?
>> Come on, come sit. Don't be shy.
[snorts]
If
>> I ask you to be completely honest with
me, forget that you're my mate and your
opinions really don't matter. Could you
tell me what you think of me?
>> Oh, I think that could be done. Now,
maybe I'm just overthinking the whole
situation, but it seems almost as if and
call me crazy, but almost as if Sarah
doesn't like me.
>> Really? Wherever did you get that idea?
>> I know. Insanity, but something tells me
that.
>> Do you want the truth?
>> Very much so.
>> I'm willing to enjoy this. How do I put
this lightly? You're the most disgusting
man I've ever met. You smell of bad
breath and very expensive, very useless
cologne. To top that, your smell matches
your personality. You're rude. You're
rash. You're abrasive.
>> Why doesn't Sarah like me?
>> Oh, well, who knows?
>> Oh, Tiffany, what am I going to do?
>> Try growing a heart.
>> You're right.
>> I am.
>> I need to show Sarah that I can be a
compassionate and loving man.
>> Um, right.
>> Thank you, Melanie.
>> Please don't hurt me. I'm telling you
the shirt was washed, ironed, and placed
at Gerald's room by 7:30 this morning.
Ask her.
>> Ask me what?
>> Were you in charge of Gerald's laundry
this morning? Yes, ma'am.
>> And you did,
right? You did uh
>> you did wash it, right?
>> The blue one. Yes, ma'am.
>> You wouldn't have to know where it is,
would you?
>> Would you? I laid it out on the bed
after earning it.
>> Right.
Any moment now, our guest is going to
walk through that door. Everyone in this
house look like they just walked off the
street. Do you want that? Why does
everyone hate me? Why do you Why do you
all want to embarrass me,
>> Miss Malager? I'd be more than happy to
check again. Maybe it was left behind
somewhere.
>> Fine, but hurry. As for you two, don't
either of you dare to make another
mistake today. Got it.
>> Why do I have a feeling that James is
going to be that mistake? Do you think
he found a place to hide? I mean, it's a
big house, so for all we know, we We
might not see him for a week, right?
>> I'm sure he's fine. He's probably
stuffing a suitcase with Gerald's
clothes and Mrs. Malager's jewelry as we
speak.
>> James jewelry.
>> Finally, I imagine this house is a maze.
I found a holly from here to there in
bed. So, what do you think?
>> That hat doesn't work with them.
>> Bethany really would. James, this isn't
time to play dress up. I told you to
stay out of trouble and now the entire
house is looking for you. This isn't a
game. You can't just run around this
house. As massive as it is, you will be
seen. Do you want me to die?
>> Well, fine. I'll go change. I'm going to
go hide in some pantry or something.
>> Sarah,
>> I want you to go fetch two glasses of
our BED CHAMPAGNE. NOW GO SHOOT.
>> DARLING, Joe's waiting at the top of
stairs from mommy.
>> James, I'm starting to think this was a
big mistake. What do we do?
>> Okay, remain calm. You go to the
bathroom. And
>> where's that?
>> Quarters left past the kitchen. Now,
leave the shirt in there. I'll pick it
up and tell Mrs. Malagaro to Mitch with
the laundry. Problem solved. Get that
shirt off before we get killed.
Don't start just yet. I'm coming. I'm
coming. Places.
>> HI, BLAKE. OVER HERE.
Get it together, Janice. Get it
together.
>> It's not what it looks like. Shut up and
hide.
>> Girls, look presentable.
>> No, look more than presentable. Look
stunning. Okay, Janice, open the door.
>> Of course, ma'am.
>> Charles, do come in.
>> [laughter]
[laughter]
>> 76
today.
>> Oh, you're too kind. But do go on
everyone. I would like to meet Mr.
Charles Pamin.
>> What?
>> Don't shoot.
>> What? Silly me.
>> Sarah.
>> Oh, Sarah, you're so very clumsy. Why
don't you run along and go check up on
dinner? Um, yes, of course, ma'am.
>> Now, Charles, where were we? Ah, yes.
It's been ages. We have so so much to
catch up on. Marcy, I apologize for
being late. I had some uh business to
take care of down in the Hudson.
>> Business.
I had um meeting with Clank. That
reminds me, Marcy, I'd like you to be my
daughter. WIN A FRIEND. WIN A FRIEND.
HEY, DADDY.
>> MARCY, I'd like you my daughter,
Winterfred. You can call me Winnie. Now,
what a friend, what do we say? This
dinner is particularly lovely.
>> No, sweetie. The other thing we say Oh,
right. Your home is simply beautiful.
>> Oh, I thank you, my dear.
>> Marcy, I must say you look absolutely
stunning.
>> [laughter]
>> or this old thing.
>> Oh, Charles, you always know just what
to say.
>> Who? All right, him. He's off somewhere.
>> I haven't seen him since he was
>> this high.
>> Yes. Yes. How time flies.
>> No. What if you save the drinks in the
dining room?
>> Splendid.
Please don't touch that. I wasn't I was
just looking at my face.
>> Well, be careful. It's fragile.
>> She means the vase, not your face. Oh, I
know that [laughter]
>> coming
up daddy.
>> James,
>> coming ma'am.
>> Not funny.
>> Really? Came and Charles, all the rich
thugs. Your boss happens to be your
man's the one I'm hiding from.
>> Oh, how was I supposed to know?
>> You're the maid. You're supposed to know
everything going on around here.
>> I think it's safe to say it'd be best if
we left now.
>> Oh, things were just starting to get
fed.
>> Sarah, I have to go now. And so do you.
Be careful. I
>> always am.
>> Thanks for everything, Sarah.
>> Don't mention it.
>> Hello. Hello. Where did she put my
suitcase?
Heat.
[applause]
Heat.
I promise I'll only be a second. My only
order change out of these rags.
>> Janice.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Call the police.
It's ringing. Hello. Yes, this is Janice
Evans from Miss Marcy Malibu. There has
been a What? Has there been a home
invasion?
>> A home invasion. A home invasion.
Number 767 Fifth Avenue. Is anyone
injured?
>> Not yet.
>> No. No. Not that we know of. They're on
their way this second.
>> Can't they get here any faster?
>> Yes. Yes. Thank you very much,
man. What did the injuner look like? Oh,
he was a monster. He was burly and he he
was crazy. I can see it deep from the
bloodless in his eyes. Surely, if I
haven't ran, he would have killed me
where I stood. Janice?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Hold me. What is it?
>> Gerald is upstairs.
>> No. Then Jordan ran off that way.
>> He's still in the house.
>> He may have taken my baby hostage.
>> He's armed.
>> DON'T WORRY, GERALD. MOMMY'S COMING.
MAN, come on. Don't be a hero.
Hello, [laughter]
Marcy. Is everything all right? I could
have sworn I heard a scream. To be
honest, Mr. Camin, she screamed a lot.
I'm sure everything is fine, sir. Right.
What am I worried about? Can I ask your
girls a very important question? Of
course, sir. How does this tie look with
this dress? Does it work? It looks
great, sir. Great. Only great. YOU KNOW
HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO? WHERE IS MY
FRIEND? I SWEAR I'M GETTING RELATION TO
THAT GIRL.
>> MRS. Oliver really has a spot. Perfect
match.
>> Yeah,
just like that run around for. I'm
already tired.
>> Look, on the bright side, at least James
is gone.
>> Who's James?
>> Um, he's my my
>> door salesman, but he's gone now.
>> And why is it such a good thing that
he's gone now?
>> Because he was my my ex-boyfriend.
>> Your what? I mean, right.
Yeah, my ex-boyfriend. You can imagine
my shock when I opened the door,
>> right? Shocked. He begged me to take him
back. I told him, "No." You think you
need me to show up here while I'm
working and beg for my forgiveness after
the way you treated me all those nights
alone when he went out with you. So, we
sent him on his way.
>> Good. You deserve a good man. One who
cares about you. A man like me.
>> Look, Gerald, you need to get over me. I
don't like you. I never will.
>> Oh, yeah. Well, maybe you'll change your
mind when you're out of a job.
>> What Sarah's trying to say is that you
come on strong. Sarah prefers a quiet
kind of man. Besides, you know what
happens to a relationship if you spend
every second together?
>> So, what you're saying is if I left you
alone, you love me.
>> Um, sure.
>> You mean it? Consider me gone. I'll
count the seconds we're apart.
>> Just don't hold your breath.
[clears throat]
>> I'm loving you already.
One, two, three.
>> Hello. Hello. Anybody? Oh, hello there.
>> Hello. Six. Seven.
>> I think I'm lost again.
>> Eight. Well, the house is rather large.
10.
>> No, I just get lost. [clears throat]
>> Careful. It's
>> You have such pretty eyes.
>> Oh, thank you.
>> Who are you?
>> I'm Wait, who are you? put a friend. You
can call me Annie.
>> I'm sorry, but I was trying very hard to
concentrate before you interrupted. And
>> I think I love you.
>> What?
>> I know we've only known each other for a
little while, but
>> do you even know my name?
>> What's in a name? If you don't call
Rose, it still smell like a rose.
>> What?
>> Shakespeare. The language of love.
>> I need to go.
>> When I saw you, my mind just went blank.
>> I don't doubt that. But you see, I'm in
[laughter] a committed relationship.
Poor mad lady in love.
>> Oh, I don't care. Our can overcome
anything.
>> That's very sweet of you. But what's
that?
>> What?
>> I don't see anything. Wait. Oh, you
silly. That's just a curtain. You see
people have windows, too. Hello. Hello.
Come back.
Is anyone going to answer this? Anyone?
I guess it's true what they say about
good health these days.
Cops. Cops. How did they find me here?
>> What seems to be the problem, officers?
>> Sir, she opened the door. I think this
whole thing would be easier for her face
to face.
[laughter]
>> What seems to be the problem, officers?
>> You told me, sir. This is the Malibu
residence, is it not?
>> Yes. Yes, it is.
>> Sir, we received an urgent phone call
from Janice Evans calling for Mars
Malibu from this address. She said
there's a B and D.
>> Oh, thank God. I mean,
>> what a B&D, sir. It means breakin and
entering. I know what it means. I'm just
surprised.
>> You're surprised?
>> Yes. I haven't seen a breakin. In fact,
I haven't seen anyone here except for
Marcina. Help.
>> What's your name, sir?
>> Charles. Um,
Charleston.
Charles Charleston.
>> Yes, Charles. Charleston.
>> You know, Mr. Charleston, you look very
familiar. Do we know each other?
>> Oh, no. I don't think so. Me and my
daughter Winterfred are just in town to
have dinner with her son,
Marcy and Gerald.
>> Is Miss Maliger here?
>> No. Come to think of it, I haven't seen
her for quite some time. You're telling
me she's missing?
>> No, she just went upstairs. But it has
But it has been a while. Do you mind if
we have a look around Mr. Charleston?
>> Um, well,
actually, no, not at all.
>> We have reason to believe Miss Malager
is unknowingly associated with the wrong
kind of people.
>> The wrong kind of people, you know,
whack. And the rate of violent crime is
up. A wealthy socialite like her could
go for quite a ransom. I mean, this is
New York City. For all we know, she's on
her way to the docks. Gagged and tied to
>> Enough. There must be some kind of
mistake. Marcy went to go change her
dress. That is it. There's no murderer
in this house.
>> Get away FROM ME.
>> DADDY, STOP IT.
>> HELLO. Where is everyone? I was sure
Mrs. founder would have been glued to
Mr. Campb.
>> I guess we can enjoy the peace and
quiet. It doesn't happen often around
here.
>> Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. The
Malagers and the Camdens fell off the
face of the earth and we'll never have
to see them again. Don't get my hopes
up.
>> Finally. Cash is clear. Rounding third.
Almost done.
>> What are you doing?
>> I Well, you shouldn't be wandering
around.
>> Excuse me.
>> Don't tell me you don't know either.
Don't be alarmed, but there's a home
invader somewhere in this house right
now.
>> Really? Oh,
>> we were on his tail, but he must have
got his room after we went to the
corner.
>> Mr. Charleston, don't worry. We found
Drew Gallagher alive.
>> Oh, him down the hall there.
>> Quick, we've got him this time.
>> Hurry, get him. Oh, boy.
>> James,
>> actually,
>> I thought you left. Wait, what?
>> New York's finest. Gerald Malager,
>> the cops. Yeah, mother called about a
home invasion. They think
>> she saw you.
>> I couldn't leave without my suitcase.
>> Oh, sorry,
>> Jake. You promised me you wouldn't be
seen by anyone. And then Bethany saw
you. Then you promised not to be seen
again. And Mrs. Malibur sees you.
>> Well, I didn't want to go to the train
station on my speculator.
>> Well, if you don't go now, you'll go to
jail. I
>> was on my way up before you STOPPED ME.
YELL.
>> GO. GO RIGHT NOW. BYE. What's your
spatulator?
>> Well, it's a hard spatula.
He has a weapon.
Mrs. Malager, I have something I need to
tell you.
This is my
>> door to door salesman,
>> right? My gur salesman. He rang right
after Mr. Cam.
>> We told him that we were all far too
busy for him,
>> but he insisted on showing us the
cutlery.
>> Cutlery he was selling.
>> We told him to come back another time
and we sent him on his way, but he
forgot his case. He came back in to grab
it, but
>> you confused him for a home invader and
called the police.
>> Oh my. What have I done? Can you ever
forgive me?
>> Already done.
>> Could have sworn I saw blood lust. No
blood lust. And he's not armed.
>> No, I still not. They're much better for
hunting snakes than people. Name's Harry
P. Nice to meet you. I really must be
heading out.
>> I'm so so happy this all right now. And
before the cops arrive, too.
>> Karai.
>> What? What? Then then you have to say
explain that this all was a
misunderstanding. Got the fly. Come
back.
>> You're insane.
>> SAME FOR YOU. GET BACK HERE. THIS IS SO
PEACEFULLY. IS THIS GERALD'S SHIRT? Oh
my god. What the What's going ON AROUND
HERE? MY GERALD, STOP, PLEASE.
>> THERE WAS NO blood gloves.
>> Um, do you think we should help stop
them?
>> I don't know. IT'S FUN TO WATCH.
>> NOT YOU. Me and Lee BEFORE MARCY BEFORE
THIS HAPPENED.
>> YOU GUYS
>> RUN. YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY. DON'T KILL HIM.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME. HOW CAN YOU LOVE
ME?
>> I DON'T KNOW why I think he doesn't mean
I don't love them.
>> Which way do you think he went? I think
I won't go down.
>> Are you sure?
>> Gerald, where are you?
Why the cops think he's the intruder?
>> I don't know. I'm so confused. very very
confused.
I
>> think we both KNOW TO RUN FASTER. WE'LL
>> SEE HOW FAST WE RUN FOR LIFE. It's nice
to meet you. I'm Sarah James's sickly
sister.
>> WHO ARE YOU?
>> WHO?
>> YOU.
>> ME?
>> YES, YOU. WHAT IS THAT?
>> DISPATCH, WHAT'S THAT?
>> There you are. Here he is. Stop. Never.
>> Really? Stop.
>> Stop.
>> Hey, WHY COULD I TURN HIMSELF IN? HE
ISN'T EVEN IN JAIL. JAIL OR MY DEAD
BODY? OH NO. DO IT.
>> I should have changed myself to THE
STORE.
>> AREN'T YOU GETTING TIRED?
>> I AM. BETHANY, can you help?
>> Sure thing.
They have all the head.
>> My son is up some feet.
>> Yes, he is. He's stole my heart.
>> Shut up,
>> dear. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME.
>> WHY YOU [screaming]
BACK?
>> Everyone get
you. That's enough on here. Let me
handle this. Who are you? I'm Bethany.
Do you know what's going on here? I'm
the maid. It's my job to know.
>> Go ahead then.
>> This whole thing started off when Mrs.
Malager decided to have Mr. Charles
Charleston.
>> Charleston. Tax purposes, dear.
>> Um
um Charles Charleston over for dinner.
She was running around making sure
everything was perfect. Then James
showed up. James? Who's James? He's
James.
>> You.
>> Me?
>> Yes, you. Stop doing that.
>> Okay. He's my brother. I thought you
told me he was Eric Peters, the door to
door salesman,
>> and not a bloodthirsty killer.
>> Killer?
>> I thought James was your ex-boyfriend.
>> Boyfriend?
>> I thought you were Gerald Malager.
>> What? I'm Gerald Malager.
>> You're not the home invader.
>> NO, THAT'S WHAT I was trying to tell you
the whole time.
>> And I'm his girlfriend.
>> You're
Wait, who are you exactly? Wred, you can
call me Winnie. My daughter.
>> Okay, I think I'm starting to
understand. I'm not. I'm so confused.
Me, too.
>> James needed to visit his sister before
he left the city.
>> Why were you leaving?
>> To get away from him.
>> From you?
>> From you, Janice.
>> Yes, ma'am. Get out.
>> From me? You see, I uh loan some money
and I'd like it back now. Is that
illegal?
>> I don't think so.
>> Forgot to kill me.
>> That's an exaggeration.
So, we agreed to let James stay in the
house for a while, even though Mrs.
Malagar would have killed us if she knew
we were hiding him. You what? You what?
James was supposed to lay low, but he
decided to try on Gerald's shirt.
>> My shirt?
>> Don't worry about it. I told you I
didn't misplace it. Then, Mr. Charleston
arrived, so there was no point in
staying in the house. James left, but he
forgot his suitcase. Mrs. Malager saw
him, believed he was a vicious,
bloodthirsty home invader, and called
the police. So, you're saying this whole
thing is just one big misunderstanding?
>> Yes.
>> There's no real home invasion?
>> Nope.
>> Well, if there's no real home invasion,
I think it say
good work. All right, you folks behave
now. Wait, you're telling me this man
owes Mr. Camping thousands of dollars,
paid in this house without the owner
knowing, caused mass chaos, ruined a
perfectly good dinner party, and you're
not going to do a thing about it?
>> Janice. Janice, control yourself.
>> No, excuse me. All I ever do is follow
your orders. I make sure your house is
perfect. I make sure your dresses are
perfect. I make sure your food is
perfect. I make sure everything is
perfect. Janice this, Janice that. Yes,
ma'am. Right away, ma'am. And I make
sure Dave was perfect. And what do I
get? This guy. No, I will not calm down.
I demand something to be done about him.
You demand?
>> Yes. I demand TO SEE HIM DRAG OUT OF
HERE IN HANDCUFFS. I demand to see him
locked up. I demand to see everything be
perfect again. Janice, what? Are you
done?
>> I think so.
Really officers, there's no problem
here. Have a nice day.
>> Did she say Camden?
>> Yep.
>> Quiet, sweetie. I knew you look
familiar. Aren't you Charles Hammond,
the notorious mobster? Who? Daddy, are
you? I don't know what you're talking
about.
>> Officers, you must be mistaken. This
Charles Charleston.
>> Is this true? Then why did she say
Camden?
>> Who knows? Look at her. She's clearly
insane.
>> I see. [laughter]
Okay,
>> look, Mrs. Malager. Mr.
>> Charleston.
>> Charleston, this whole thing is my
fault. I should have never agreed to let
James stay here in the first place. The
only reason he borrowed the money was to
make a better life for us. It just
backfired. Can you ever forgive us,
>> Sarah? I'm new to this whole chivalry
thing, BUT HERE IT GOES.
>> MOMMY, DO SOMETHING.
>> JANICE. YES, MA'AM. Fetch me my purse.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
I believe this should cover everything
that boy owes you.
>> Really? Oh, thank you. Thank you.
>> Oh, well, you you're welcome, dear.
Thanks, Gerald.
>> You're welcome.
>> I don't get it. Neither do I.
>> I may be demanding, Janice, but I do
have a heart.
>> I can't take your money.
>> James, what? Don't do this to yourself.
This is your last chance.
>> I really, Miss Miller, I can't take it.
I suck so much money to my adventures
trying to make it big. I have a every
inch came back, Mr. Charleston.
But life's got ahead of me. Thank you
for caring, Miss Caliger. But I can't
take your money.
>> I can't take your money either, Marcy.
But Charles,
>> daddy,
>> I don't want your money, Marcy, because
all I want is you and all I want is you.
Oh, Charles.
>> Oh, Marcy.
>> Oh, Gerald. [laughter]
>> Everything's okay here.
>> Looks like it.
>> Perfect. Very, very perfect. So perfect.
>> A happy ending.
>> Looks like we've saved the day once
again. Time to hit the road. Have a nice
day.
>> Y'all enjoy dinner now.
>> Wait, what's for dinner?
>> Oh my stars. WHAT'S THE MATTER? WE
FORGOT ABOUT DINNER.
>> OH, MOMMY.
>> OH, GERALD, don't touch me.
>> Thank you for covering for me. BUT JUST
SO YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANOTHER
RED SUIT.
>> WHAT ABOUT ME, SIR?
>> UM, I need a nap.
>> You're telling me?
>> So, I guess I'm staying.
>> Lucky me.
No, Gerald.
>> What could that be? How should I know?
>> Don't look at me. I am not getting it.
>> I don't even work here.
>> Hey, Sarah, I'm sorry for how I treated
you. I can't live without you. Take me
back, please.
