Katie, what's the new situation going to be like today?
Garret is the host of the TV show called "Fun Fun Fun with Furniture."

                                          • -

How about a neutral color like beige, Garret?
Oh, it'd be a nightmare to clean if you spilled something on it.
Okay. That helps narrow down the choices.
This red sofa really makes a statement.
Oh, it's a little tacky.
No, it's funky!
Oh!

It's saying, "Hey! I'm here. And I'm as cool as you are."
Ahhhhhh...
Which one do you like, Taeko?
I'm leaning toward this gray sofa. It has comfy armrests.

Ha ha! Nothing can beat comfy armrests. Did you try the red sofa armrests?
Oh! No, not yet. Ohhh... These feel even better.
It's yours. Did you enjoy the show, Taeko?

Yes, I had fun fun fun with furniture.
I am Garret Altman. See you next week.

I wonder why. You are the richest woman and you are in the biggest house in Atlanta.
And what century do you think we are in now? Twenty first?
Frankly my dear, I don't give a dime.

I don't give a dime.
I don't give a damn. (僕には関係ない)と映画の中では言っていた。
That's right.

Well, how much time is left for the program?
Well, let's see... a ballpark estimate would be...
Hmm... about zero.

Katie, what's new situation going to be like today?
Well, it's a huge old house.

                                  • -

The kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances from 100 years ago.
Very nice. What's that loud humming sound?
That's the refrigerator. This way to the bathroom.
Oh, it's on the big side.
"Huge" should be the word. Huge, but, but cozy. If you love bath. The
bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet.

No skeleton, I hope.
Just a couple.

So what do you think?
What concerns me is the refrigerator noise.
Let me see. Maybe something lives in there.
Don't open it. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!

                                                • -

So what was in the refrigerator?

I have no idea.
That 2011 mustard.

What concerns me ...
Uh-huh...
... is the time.
Oh!
I think we better close the program.
Okay.

So Jeff, what's the new situation going to be like?
Well, this time, they are birds.
Are they?
Uh-huh. Tweet, tweet, chirp, chirp...

                            • -

Hey Peter! What are you working on?
Just a little DIY project, Paul.
DIY?
A do-it-yourself project. Our baby is due next full moon, so I'm building a crib for the nursery.
I didn't know you were so handy.
It's nothing fancy-schmancy..
It looks nice and sturdy.
Thanks. It's coming along.

Have you chosen the baby's name?
Yes, if it's a boy, it's Robin.
Great! And if it's a girl?
If it's a girl, it's Tori.
Nice.

Yeah, Tori Spelling.

But not トリ.

By the way, do you have any big projects going around the house like a DIY project or...?
Actually, I do.
Oh!
You do?
Yes.
Okay.

I have a garden. And I'm turning it into a Japanese garden.
Really?
So how do you do that? What do you have to get?

Well, I went to a rock place...
Okay.
.... sells boulders and now I have some big rocks in my yard.

How big is the boulder?
They are big enough for one or two people to carry. They are pretty heavy.
Wow!

Oh, really?
Kind of it looks like a Kyoto garden now.

Have you just started?
Ummm.... I'm about half way finished.
Oh, okay.
So I'm still working on it.

Will it have smaller rocks too and then you are going to rake them?
No, no.
It's not a rock garden exactly.

It's not a sand. No, it's not a rock garden.
Okay.
The boulders are just part of my green garden.
Right.
Oh, I see.
Do you have trees or flowers?

Trees and flowers and uh... blueberry bushes and blackberry bushes.
Wow!
That's unique.
Yeah, so it's not exactly a Kyoto garden.
Very interesting there.
Berry, very interesting.
I see.
Berry, very!

So what about you, Katie?
Me? Hmm... right now, I don't have anything.
Yeah. You, Ken?

Uh... well, I am demolishing something.
Demolishing. My goodness.

That's not building. You are demolishing.
What are you demolishing?

Mother's house and I'm asking a demolisher to demolish it.
Oh, my goodness.

How's that going?
It's coming along.

Wow!
Coming along!
