(DOGS BARKING)
Kraus, what did you feed them as puppies?
People?
Were the steaks still on sale?
Yeah, and that's the last time I do you a favor.
There are only five here. I asked you to get me six.
Well, I had to give one to the dogs
to get from the car to the porch.
You gave a steak to the dogs?
Be happy there's still five.
I almost had to give them another one
to get from the porch to the door.
So, what did you give them?
Your cat.
Listen, I've got some exciting news. Guess what?
Taylor quit.
I can write my State of the State speech there
and we can ski and play in the snow.
And it'd be wonderful for Katie.
Our Camp David.
Or, in this case, Camp Murray.
What do you say, Benson?
Have a real good time.
Oh, no, you're coming, too. We're all going.
It will be a kind of working vacation.
Well, if I wanted a working vacation,
I'd be a lifeguard in Acapulco.
Oh, Benson, just think, you can go skiing.
Not me.
I ain't strapping no sticks to my feet
to be jerked up a mountain on a wire
The best thing I can hope for is to hit a soft tree
and break a leg instead of a neck.
Why don't you try it, Gretchen?
(EXCLAIMING) I have shushed all over the Alps.
I'll bet you have.
Did you tell 'em? Yeah.
Isn't that great?
Those places are just swarming with ski instructors
and they're all gorgeous.
There's no such thing as a homely ski instructor.
They won't let them on the mountain.
Oh, that seems so cruel.
What do they do, stop them at the chair lift?
No.
All I know is this trip makes terrific press.
"The Governor skis."
People love that stuff.
No, Taylor, all I want is a quiet vacation.
Every once in a while I've just got to get away
from the pressures of this office.
But, sir, think what this could do for your image.
No, Taylor, no press.
I just wish I looked better in the cold.
My face gets all blotchy, my hair gets all stringy,
my nose runs, and my lips crack.
I'm sorry I'm going to miss all that.
(EXCLAIMING IN GERMAN)
What? What's the matter?
I promised to pick her up.
I can't go.
Well, what are we gonna do?
Marcy can't cook and Taylor won't cook.
Benson, could you reconsider?
Uh, I'm sorry, Governor,
but I have to go to a party
at my favorite uncle's.
That was last night.
Same party, that's why he's my favorite uncle.
Benson, please.
Okay, just a minute. Uh, Kraus.
Are you sure you're not going? Ja.
You're staying here? Ja.
So, it'll be just the two of us,
you and me, here together,
by ourselves, all alone.
Ja. I'll go pack.
Well, here we are.
I wonder if there are any survivors.
Well, at least it's quiet.
Look at this dust! I'm not feeling well.
Daddy.
Can I go outside and play?
It sure ain't mine.
Thank you, Daddy.
You're welcome, sweetheart. For what?
For taking me here. I love you.
Benson, start a fire. My hands are cold.
Sit on 'em!
When you're sure, call me.
Uh, yes, I think there's one in the bathroom.
That's basically what I meant.
Where's that?
Oh, through this door and down the hall.
Thank you.
In case anyone's interested, I'm dying.
Fine, I'll only set four places for dinner.
I have pneumonia, I'm getting frostbite,
my skin is dead,
and my glasses are frozen to my nose.
Oh, I can't move.
Now, I can't even move.
(MARCY SCREAMS)
There's a bear in there. A what?
A bear. A bear.
There's a bear in the bathroom.
Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure it isn't a plumber.
