Oh for the love of

Derek said...

"Yes, but you still have not answered my question: how will this affect the release date of the next Batman movie?"

Derek said...

"AQUA•NET HAIRSPRAY: WHEN DISASTER IS NOT AN OPTION."

Grammie said...

Forget about the smoke, dear, I just want to confirm that THIS is my favorite shirt......I like it even better than the other one.

Grammie said...

If you would remember to open the fireplace vent, we would not have this problem

Tom said...

"The sign for 'Toluca Lake Center' blows...I'm outta here..."

Tom said...

"Terri, what'd I tell you about them grease fires?"

Tom said...

"There's a raging inferno behind me, but I still have time to destroy your career...are you listening to me...you're finished...YOU'RE DEAD!!"

Tom said...

"For the love of God...I forgot my comb..."

Deacon said...

"Daddy, your hair wants to go to the fire!"

Deacon said...

"When the fire gets to me, I will become the Human Torch from The Fantastic Four!"

Tom said...

"Uh, honey, about that bomb you gave me..."

Derek said...

"...no, I will not hold. I've been on hold for almost four minutes already... Yeah, so?... Well it's gonna get even hotter when I report you to the Better Business Bureau. Don't you dare hang up on me!!! Oh, so that's how it is?! The Toluca Lake Center has not heard the last of Derek N. Alff!"

Grammie said...

Drastic times call for drastic measures, so I'm going to climb that water tower in back of me and turn on the spigot------uh, do water towers have spigots?

Derek said...

"Just hang on a minute honey... Oh man, you're not going to believe this. My wife's on the phone and she tells me that some poor dope's house just caught fire and we can probably see it from... wait, what? It's OUR HOUSE?!?!"

Terri said...

"If that tank blows, it could take out half of Strawberry. Look what it did to Burbank."

Tom said...

"...but you're my agent...first 'Cookie Quest', now a Pinto commercial..."

Grammie said...

........and as the fire rages closer and closer, we will be here, standing our ground for YOU, the loyal viewers of KSAP TV ---your eyes and ears.
Remember our motto - "We will give up our lives to bring you the story"

Derek said...

Derek said...

Derek said...

SCENE 7, TAKE 67

Derek said...

“Forget the raging inferno, a giant hand is attacking me.”

Tom said...

"The billowing holocaust behind me has put a song in my heart...'Feeeeeee-lings...nothing more than feeeeeeee-lings'..."

Grammie said...

Please, please, PLEASE believe me........There is a giant UFO hovering in that cloud of "smoke". No it's not REALLY smoke, it's camouflage for the alien aircraft.
WE ARE ABOUT TO BE ATTACKED!!!!!

Derek said...

"'Tis a fair photographic record, but would look far better with motion applied."

Tom said...

"Babe, I just got a great idea for dinner..."

Tom said...

"Yes, Terri...Toluca Lake Center had your Diet Pepsi...I'm fine, by the way..."

"No, Jimmy, this isn't Jules Winnfield...I drove his partner around town, though..."

Tom said...

"Hold it...you wanted me to detonate the thing at Dodgers Stadium?"

Tom said...

"So then I said 'Maren...do not...push...that...button...'"

Matt said...

Terri, the firebomb went off without a hitch. I can't wait to read all of Tom's wacky captions about this!

Matt said...

"Hello, Smoke House? Can I place an order for some garlic bread before we get evacuated?...Hey, I guess you really are a 'smoke house" now, ha ha...hello?"

Matt said...

"Dad, dad, I assure you, the air quality in Los Angeles is nothing to be concerned about. We're fine. In fact, I'm outside right now and I've got to admit, it's GREATLY IMPROVED!"

Matt said...

"Mike, this is Derek. Hey, I don't know why, but I have this strange feeling that putting Eugene and Aubrey in charge of that job in Griffith Park wasn't such a great idea."

Tom said...

"Gosh, Terri, this picture is so provocative even Matt Shaffer is commmenting on it."

Tom said...

"The 'Myth Busters' episode went awry in the parking lot...I'm thankful I was able to tell Tory I loved him."

Grammie said...

Remember friend, in this life stuff happens. On any day, you could slip in the shower, get hit by a car, get mugged and killed, or someone could even be rude to you. So be prepared and be strong because you never know what's coming your way..........

Tom said...

"You see...I can summon fire, wind...the elements of nature are at my very command...bow to 'the Derek'..."
