	Okay, Dad, I got here as fast as I could.
	But it's a month before Christmas! I didn't think you wanted me to spend THIS much time with you.
	I came to see your will. There's no telling what you signed. You once gave away your kidneys.
	They gave 'em back!
	Dad, just give me the will.
	I would if I could remember where I put it around here. Probably with my kidneys.

	Wait, what language is this written in?
	Lawyer, I think.
	Ugh. I can't read this!
	And they try to claim that public education's gotten better since our day...

	Marge, can you come here and help me read this?
	Is this Maggie's "Sleepy Bunny Dreamy Dream" book again?
	No, I gave up on that. It's my dad's will. Some fast-talking lawyer set it up for him and I'm a slow-reading law breaker.

	No.
	Damn.
	According to this, he's leaving a vacation home and the land it's on to us.
	Woo hoo!
	Woo hoo what, Homer? Did you know your father had a vacation home?
	No, but who cares? Free vacation home!
	I have a bad feeling about this.
	Well, I got a good feeling and I'm not even drunk.
	Don't you find it disturbing he never mentioned a vacation home?
	Still feel good.
	How about that he's leaving it to you?
	My God...that makes no sense! Oh, I wish I was drunk.
