Interesting facts:
- This is the second time a non-regular guest character would return in a
sequel directly relating to their first appearance (the
first was when Balki’s friend Gina first stayed with the cousins while
pregnant and then had them babysit her child a follow-up episode). The
previous episode in which the small-time hood Vince Lucas was introduced painted
him as a serious, nothing-funny-about-him, steely crook, which makes his turn in
this return appearance all the more hilarious when we see his lighter, warmer
side, something completely unexpected! John Del Regno is superb as the
less serious but still somewhat menacing Vince.
- Bob Keyes, who wrote the episode Can I Get a
Witness? in which the character Vince Lucas was introduced, also penned this
episode.
- Oddly enough, Vince would not be the only
criminal in Perfect Strangers history to threaten the cousins’ lives
and then return as a friendly personality. In Season 5, a disgruntled
accountant named Marvin Berman (played brilliantly by character actor George
Wyner) sets up a money-laundering scheme for his boss but receives no credit for
it, so he threatens to blow up the Chronicle basement (with Balki and Larry in
it!). Later that season Marvin returned for another appearance in which he
pals around with the cousins instead.
- Lydia makes the comment that she has a fear of
polyester in this episode. Lydia would reveal quite a few oddball phobias
throughout the series.
- An unusual peculiarity occurs in this episode and
that’s the very notable laughing of a particular audience member. The
female
voice of note has such a distinctive laugh it’s impossible to miss. This
same woman’s laugh can also be heard during Bronson’s Saturday Night Live
appearance. This mysterious laugher has yet to be identified.
- During the episode Vince is seen wearing
Larry’s red striped pajamas and blue robe.
- The framed photo that Larry shows Balki which
Vince took of them is actually a studio publicity shot that was used on one of
the postcard mailers sent to fans who wrote in to the show.
Bloopers and
Inconsistencies:
- The flashback scene is unusual in the sense that the clip shown was not
included in the original episode they’re flashing back to! After
studying the flashback clip it appears it was filmed during the original shoot
and took place sometime before Jennifer and Mary Anne arrived (if the scene was
recreated and filmed during this episode it would be amazing, as the set and
extras and clothing are all identical!). It was possibly a scene
originally shot for the episode but cut out or it could have been filmed
specifically for use in this flashback sequence.
Bloopers and Inconsistencies:
- A very funny blooper from this episode in which Mark and Bronson break
up laughing over hitting their heads on the counter and stove can be seen on our
YouTube Channel, along
with other bloopers from the series! This same blooper can be seen in the Friendship
commercial for the series, which also featured outtakes from the show.
Synopsis:
The
episode begins in the Chronicle basement at the end of the work day.
Harriette is standing at Larry’s desk putting on her coat as Larry covers his
typewriter and asks if she has any big plans that night. "Well, I was
thinking about going to a nice restaurant, having a romantic dinner, maybe
dancing ‘til dawn . . . but I guess I should go home to my husband."
Lydia enters from the archives and is surprised it’s quitting time already.
"I got to reading some of my old advice columns and lost track of time.
Damn . . . I’m good." "You’d better be good!" Harriette
warns, checking her watch, "You got about five minutes to finish
tomorrow’s column." "I’ll make it!" Lydia assures her,
"I have not missed a deadline yet." "That’s because you
get other people to do your work!" Harriette comments sharply.
"Once in five years I asked you for a tiny bit of advice to fill out a
column," Lydia retorts.
Larry
tries to intervene but the women are will into it now. "Fill out a
column?" Harriette says in shock, "You took my tiny bit of advice and
turned it into a five part series!" The phone rings on Larry’s desk
and he happily says, "I’ll get that!" As he steps aside to
take the call, the women continue their verbal sparring. "Why,
Harriette, I may be neurotic, I may be panic-prone, and yes I will admit I have
a fear of polyester, but I am not a thief!" "Okay,
you’re not a thief," Harriette agrees, "You’re just out of your
mind!" Larry hangs up the phone, looking shocked. "I
can’t believe this is happening!" he sighs. "Lighten up,
Larry!" Lydia insists, "We’re just having a friendly fight! We
do this all the time!"
"No, no . . . that was the D.A.’s
office," Larry explains, "They called to tell me that Vince Lucas has
been paroled." "Who is Vince
Lucas?" Harriette asks. "He’s a very dangerous criminal,"
Larry explains, "About a year ago Balki and I were supposed to be witnesses
against him. On the day of the trial Vince called me over to correct any
misunderstanding Balki and I might have had about testifying." We cut
to a flashback sequence of the courtroom where Vince’s trial took place.
Vince is motioning for Larry to come over to him, which Larry does.
"Obviously you’re not getting what I’m telling you," Vince begins,
"Maybe it’s the world we live in. A person doesn’t know who to
believe any more. A lot of people go around making idle threats. I
don’t. I make good on my promises. If you and your pal testify,
I’ll get you. Even if I go to jail, I’ll get you. No matter how
long it takes, I’ll get you. Someday you’ll be in a dark place,
you’ll sense someone behind you, you’ll feel a twinge of pain, things’ll
start getting gray, you’ll have an out of body experience . . . permanently.
Now, you understand what I’m saying?" "You’ll get me,"
Larry repeats nervously.
"So, Balki and I testified anyway and
Vince was sent to prison," Larry finishes as the scene morphs back to the
present day. "That’s
good!" Harriette comments. "And now Vince is back on the
street," Larry adds. "That’s bad," Harriette agrees.
"Lydia, what should I do?" Larry implores. "What should you
do?" Lydia asks incredulously, "A convicted felon who has vowed to
seek revenge upon you was paroled today and you don’t know what to do?
Get the hell out of town, Larry!" "I’ve got to tell Balki,"
Larry deduces, "Do you know where he is?" "I haven’t seen
him all afternoon," Harriette answers. "Oh my God!" Lydia
sighs dramatically, "Vince has got Balki! Poor little guy! He
didn’t even have a chance! I hope he didn’t suffer!" Off
Larry’s shocked look, Harriette suggests, "You go and find Balki and
I’ll stay here and slap her." Larry heads to the parking garage,
commenting that he has to find Balki before Vince does.
At the apartment, Balki is seen stirring
something in a pot over the stove as he sings the Tom Jones’ hit "It’s
Not Unusual." There is a knock at the door and Balki goes to answer
it, pausing a moment to gyrate strangely with the song. When Balki opens
the
door we see Vince standing there, smiling. "Balki Bartokomous,"
he states, " . . . I’ve been looking forward to this day."
"Me, too!" Balki exclaims and he and Vince embrace warmly like
long-lost friends, ending with a simultaneous sigh. "So . . . how was
prison?" "Well, Joliet was nice, but it was no
Leavenworth," Vince answers. Balki goes into the hallway to get
Vince’s bags, saying, "Well, let me get you settled. I’ve got
everything you need all laid out for you. I’ve got sheepskin in case you
get cold and a brand new Masters of the Universe toothbrush and the shower cap
is complimentary." "I can’t believe you’re doing this for
me!" Vince exclaims. "Oh, go on with you!" Balki smiles,
giving Vince a playful shove backwards (which for a moment Vince doesn’t know
how to take!). "Well, I know it’s been a long trip down from up the
river," Balki continues, "so why don’t you make yourself comfortable
and we’ll be having dinner in about thirty minutes." Balki motions
to his bedroom then follows Vince there carrying his bags for him.
Just
as Balki and Vince disappear into the bedroom, the front door opens and Larry
rushes in, calling, "Balki?" Larry runs in, looking around
frantically until Balki comes out of the bedroom. Larry runs to him and
sighs, "Oh, I’m glad you’re alive!" "Well, I’m glad
to be alive," Balki agrees as Larry closes and puts the chain on the front
door. Balki tries to get his attention as Larry then gets a chair to put
under the doorknob. "Cousin, if you just stand still for a moment I
have a surprise for you!" Balki says. "I have something
important to tell you!" Larry says emphatically, grabbing Balki’s
shoulders. "Well, can it wait? I have a surprise for you!"
Balki repeats. "You can surprise me later," Larry insists.
"Well, I want to tell you my surprise now!" Balki says. They
argue until Larry puts his hand over Balki’s mouth.
"I
found out Vince Lucas was paroled today!" Larry says, then lets go of Balki
and runs to the couch to push it in front of the door. "Help me move
the sofa in front of the door!" Larry orders. Balki tries to argue
but Larry cries, "Help me!" Larry starts pushing on the couch
with his head down as Balki leans casually on the other end. Of course the
couch doesn’t move anywhere despite Larry’s efforts. Vince walks out
of Balki’s bedroom, wearing Larry’s bathrobe. Balki looks excited as
Vince stands, unseen by Larry whose head is still down. "Hey,
Appleton!" Vince calls. Larry is suddenly stock still, then slowly
looks up in shock. "How's it goin’?" Vince shouts, rushing
forward and throwing his arms around Larry in a hug as Larry screams in horror.
"Surprise!" Balki shouts happily.
Vince steps back to say, "Larry, I
wanna thank you!" then hugs him again before adding, "You know, it’s
not everybody who would
let an ex-con move in with them!" "Are you kidding?" Balki
asks, stepping toward them, "We’re gonna be the envy of the neighborhood!
Cousin, we really stepped in something good this time!" Larry is
still standing in complete shock, his eyes bugging out. "Cousin’s
Larry’s so excited the cat ate his tongue!" Balki smiles, then continues,
"Okay, we’re gonna have dinner pretty soon." He takes
Vince’s hands to look at them, saying "Let me see!" After
examining Vince’s hands Balki says, "Okay, we know where we have to
go!" and motions with his head toward the bathroom. "Oh yeah,
right!" Vince says, "We’ll talk later." He turns to Larry
and smiles, saying, "Gee, it’s good to see ya!" then heads to the
bathroom.
Larry is still standing, staring at Balki
in complete shock. "Balki, could I talk to you privately?" Larry
finally asks in a deceptively
calm voice. "Well, of course you can!" Balki answers.
Larry grabs Balki roughly and literally flings him over the kitchen counter
before jumping over himself. Balki lands on the kitchen floor in a heap
and Larry lands on top of him, then pulls Balki up into a sitting position
before putting his hand on Balki’s face and peering over the counter to make
sure Vince is still in the bathroom. "What is he doing here?"
Larry asks emphatically. "More to the point, what am I doing here?"
Balki asks. "We are hiding until I figure out what Vince is doing
here!" Larry explains, still hanging onto Balki’s vest. "Well,
I invited him," Balki explains, "and he accepted. Isn’t that
nice?"
Larry
pushes Balki’s head back against the wall under the counter with a thump.
"Are you crazy??" Larry cries. "You seem upset," Balki
observes calmly. Larry bangs Balki’s head against the wall a second
time. "Yes! Yes, I’m upset! There’s a killer in the
bathroom!" Larry sits back against the stove but reaches over and
tips Balki’s chin up to cause Balki’s head to hit the wall again. In
turn Balki reaches over playfully and tips Larry’s head back so it bangs
against the stove. "Oh, Cousin, he’s not a killer!" Balki
sighs, "He was a thief, and a loan shark and . . . there was the occasional
assault with a deadly weapon but he was not a killer." "Oh well,
what the heck? Give him my room!" Larry says in exasperation.
"Well, I didn’t think it would be fair without asking first," Balki
says, missing Larry's sarcasm.
"Cousin,
on Mypos when a criminal is released from prison he is given to one of the nice
families on the island so that he can learn to be a good person and for the
family that gets him it’s a great honor. And I don’t want to brag but
. . . my family, we had two arsonists stay with us." Larry is still
staring at Balki in disbelief. "This is America!" he states,
"We don’t take convicts into our homes!" "Oh, po po,
Cousin!" Balki says, "Now I understand what got your dandruff up!
Let me relieve you of your mind. Vince is a changed person . . . he
studied photography in prison . . . " Balki helps Larry to his feet.
" . . . and he’s got a job all lined up. He’s going to be a
photographer’s assistant but the job don’t start for two days and he
doesn’t have a place to stay for those two days."
"How
do you know all this?" Larry asks. "I’ve been writing him ever
since he went to jail," Balki explains, then eyes Larry questioningly,
"Haven’t you?" "No!" Larry cries, "No! Is
that part of this Mypos thing, too?" "You can’t just send a
person to jail and forget about him!" Balki insists, "Cousin, believe
me, Vince is not here to kill us. He just wants a new fleece on life.
And we have to help him." "You really trust this guy?"
Larry asks incredulously. "Illicitly," Balki insists.
"Well . . . " Larry sighs, "it’s just a couple of days, I guess
I can go without sleep that long." "Cousin, please, believe me .
. . nothing is going to happen. After all, if we both ended up dead I’d
have to live with it for the rest of my life!"
The
second act begins in the Chronicle basement. Balki is counting out reams
of paper then goes to get his jacket. "Cousin, where you want to go
to for lunch today?" Balki asks. "Well, why don’t we go to
McMann’s?" Larry asks. "Okay! Vince will be here any
minute!" Upon hearing Vince’s name Larry looks nervous.
"Vince?" "Yeah, Vince" Balki confirms, "Our V.I.P.
Very Important Prisoner." Balki laughs at his own joke.
"Oh wait a minute!" Larry backtracks, "What am I thinking?
I can’t go to lunch today." "Why not?" "Why
not? Because today is a holiday and I’m supposed to fast."
"Well, how come you eat breakfast?" Balki asks. "Well,
because the actual holiday doesn’t kick in until after noon," Larry
explains, checking his watch, "and uh . . . oh darn it! . . . it’s five
minutes after. Maybe next time."
"Wait
a minute!" Balki stops Larry, "Cousin, I can read you like a scroll.
You’re not fasting! You’re avoiding Vince! You still don’t
trust him. Cousin, the way you’re acting I wouldn’t be surprised if he
is the last prisoner we ever get." "Balki, it’s hard to trust
a man who might kill me in my sleep," Larry explains. "But
Cousin, you’re not even trying! I don’t think you really believe Vince
is a changed man." "Bingo!" Larry confirms.
"Don’t change the subject!" Balki scolds. "Balki, the man
threatened to kill me!" Larry reminds him. "Well, he threatened
me, too, but I trust him!" "How do you do that?" Larry
asks. "Cousin, it’s easy . . . you just trust him a little bit and
then you trust him a little bit more and then you trust him a lot more.
You can start small. Loan him your car." At this suggestion
Larry’s eyes bulge again.
Vince enters from the parking garage,
saying, "Hi guys! Boy, life is good! You know they let me in
the building without a strip
search?" "Hi Vince!" Balki smiles, "Ready to go to
lunch?" "Oh, you bet," Vince says heartily, "I could
kill for a chili dog right now." Balki turns to Larry and asks,
"Cousin? Coming?" Larry finally smiles and says,
"Yeah. Sure. Why not?" He reaches into his pocket
and pulls out his keys, saying, "I tell you what, Vince . . . why don’t
you drive?" "Aw thanks!" Vince says sincerely,
"It’ll be good to drive again." As they head for the parking
garage Vince asks, "Hey, you guys ever see the car chase from ‘The French
Connection’?" As they exit Larry turns back to eye Balki nervously,
but Balki simply turns around to look behind them to try to figure out what
Larry’s looking at.
That
night at the apartment Vince is on the kitchen phone talking in the dark while
Balki sleeps soundly on the couch behind him. "No, no trouble, Mr.
Denagree," Vince says into the phone, "I’m still starting work
tomorrow. I just need some photography advice. I want to take a
picture of the guys I’m staying with, you know, frame it and give it to them
as a gift for being so nice to me. But I want it to be a surprise."
At this point Larry comes out of his bedroom on his way to the bathroom but
hearing Vince’s voice he walks toward the living room instead in time to
overhear Vince saying, "But the problem is every time I try to get a shot
off this one guy Larry is watching me. Well, I thought about shooting them
in their sleep but I really wanted their eyes to be open." Larry is
looking more and more shocked as Vince continues. "Yeah, you’re
probably right . . . it won’t be much of a surprise but it’ll get the job
done. I’ll just sit them down tomorrow morning and shoot them both.
Thanks, boss, I’ll see ya later."
Vince hangs up the phone and Larry ducks
around the corner of the hallway as Vince walks back into Balki’s bedroom.
Larry
runs into the living room and turns on the lights, jumping over the couch onto
Balki and urging him to wake up. "We’ve got to get out of here!
Vince is going to kill us!" "Now Cousin, you had a bad dream, go
back to bed," Balki urges, rolling over and knocking Larry onto the floor.
Larry grabs Balki’s collar from the floor and pull him closer. "Balki!
I’m serious! Vince is going to shoot us first thing tomorrow
morning!" "Are you sure?" Balki asks, "He told me
himself he’s not a morning person." Balki rolls back over again to
sleep but Larry sits on the arm of the couch and pulls Balki’s head back by
the hair. "I’m not making this up . . . I believe in what you are
trying to do with Vince, I really do, but it’s not working. I just heard
Vince on the phone planning our murders!" "Cousin, are you
sure?" Balki asks, "This never happened on Mypos. Our two
arsonists were perfect guests. Of course, we couldn’t barbeque while
they were there."
Larry
moves to the other side of the couch and pulls Balki into a sitting position.
"Balki, I’m sure the criminals on Mypos are a darn fine bunch of people.
Unfortunately, Vince is a lemon." "No, I think he’s a
Pisces," Balki corrects. "I mean he hasn’t reformed!"
Larry clarifies. "But he’s been so nice to us," Balki says in
confusion. "Lots of killers are nice!" Larry remarks,
"Lizzie Borden was homecoming queen!" At this moment Vince comes
out of Balki’s bedroom and approaches them, sitting on the chair opposite the
couch. "Oh, hiya guys," Vince offers. "Vince,
you’re up!" Balki notes. "Yeah, been up for a while, I
couldn’t sleep," Vince explains, "I had a nightmare. The same
one I’ve had ever since I went to prison." "Well, we all have
bad dreams," Larry offers, wishing to end the conversation quickly,
"Why don’t we turn in and think happy thoughts?"
"You
know, it’s a funny thing but . . . you two are in my dream," Vince
continues. "Get out of the city!" Balki exclaims, "We were
in your dream?" "It’s just the three of us in this room with
no doors," Vince explains, "Just like solitary except . . . I don’t
have the straitjacket on." Larry is staring wide-eyed again.
"Did you ever have the dream where you couldn’t run?" he asks.
"But the dream always happens the same way," Vince continues, "I
talk real nice to you, tell you a few jokes . . . then when we’re laughing and
having fun . . . I grab you! Then with my bare hands I squeeze your necks
tighter and tighter, feeling the bones crack under my thumbs, feeling the life
drain from your pathetic little bodies!" Vince has been saying this
with great energy and enthusiasm, leaving both Balki and Larry staring at him in
shock. Looking up at them he notes their expressions and offers,
"Sorry." He then asks, "Did you ever have a nightmare that
was so real that you felt that you were living it?" Slowly Balki and
Larry both nod their head "yes."
"Well
. . . " Larry says calmly, turning his head slightly then repeating,
"Well . . . " again in the same tone. Finally Larry turns to
Balki and his eyes widen more than before as he repeats, in the same calm voice,
"Well . . . . . . it’s been fun reminiscing like this but I think I’ll
turn in." Larry starts to get up but Vince stands as well and holds
his hand up. "Before you go, Larry," Vince begins, "I got
somethin’ I was gonna wait until the morning to do, but since we’re all up I
might as well do it now. I’ll be right back." Vince walks
into Balki’s bedroom as Larry assures him, "We’ll be right here!"
Larry looks at Balki and in an instant they have jumped up and raced to the
front door, fumbling to open it. They pull it open but the chain is still
locked so they have to close the door again and try to get the chain free.
They manage to do this but Vince returns at that moment and they quickly shut
the door and stand with their backs to it.
"What’s
goin’ on?" Vince asks, now holding a little bag. "Oh no,
nothing’s going on, is there, Balki?" Larry asks. "No, no . .
. nothing’s going on," Balki agrees, trying to think, "We were just
. . . measuring ourselves!" Balki places his hand above Larry head to
mark a spot on the door and as Larry turns to look Balki says, "Oh Cousin!
You’ve shot up an inch!" They both turn back to Vince, smiling
nervously. "Whatcha got there, Vince?" Larry asks.
"You’ll see," Vince promises, motioning toward the kitchen,
"Now . . . this ain’t gonna hurt a bit. Stand over there."
Balki and Larry hesitate a moment then walk in unison toward the kitchen counter
as if they are walking the last mile.
Vince starts to open the little bag as
Balki and Larry reach the counter and turn. Seeing Vince is occupied,
Larry seizes the moment. "Now’s our chance! Grab him!"
They rush at Vince, Larry grabbing his arms and Balki grabbing his back as they
struggle for a moment. The camera flash Vince had been preparing goes off
in Larry’s face, blinding him. Larry stumbles back in shock.
"I’ve been hit!" he announces as Balki holds him up.
"Getting shot isn’t as bad as I thought," Larry reports, "Just
a flash of light and then your mind shuts down." "Cousin, Vince
don’t have a gun gun . . . Vince has a flash gun . . . just like
yours." He tips Larry toward Vince, saying, "Look."
Larry looks down at the flash in Vince’s hand then looks up and comments,
"Very nice." "But why would I have a gun?" Vince asks,
"It would be a violation of my parole." "Well, Cousin Larry
thought that he heard you on the phone telling someone you were going to shoot
us," Balki explains. "I was talking to the guy I’m gonna work
for!" Vince explains, "I wanted to shoot a picture of you. You
know, frame it and give it to you as a way of paying you back for all the things
you’ve done for me."
Balki cringes with embarrassment and Larry
is beside himself. "Oh . . . oh, Vince, I feel awful," Larry
sighs, "I am so sorry. I don’t
know what to say." "You guys thought I was gonna shoot
you?" Vince asks. "Balki didn’t," Larry explains,
"He had faith in you. He trusted you right from the beginning, this
is all my fault. Vince, can you ever forgive me?" "You
thought I was gonna shoot you with a gun?" Vince asks.
"Yes," Larry admits. Vince erupts into raucous laughter.
"This is great! A gun, I love it! You know, I haven’t laughed
this much since the ‘Newhart’ show . . . not the new one, the old one with
Suzanne Pleschette. This is great!" He continues laughing then
calms down a bit. "You know . . . I might actually be able to sleep
now. Goodnight, guys, I’ll . . . shoot that picture in the mornin’."
Vince heads back to Balki’s bedroom then stops, seeing that Larry and Balki
have their backs to him. "Booga booga!" Vince shouts, startling
them and causing him to burst into laughter again. "You guys kills
me!" he laughs, going into the bedroom.
Sometime later, Balki is sitting at the
kitchen counter playing with some toy frogs when Larry comes in. "Balki!
Guess what came
in the mail today! Vince sent us the picture he took of us."
"Oh Cousin, isn’t that nice?" Balki asks, "Just goes to show
you what a little trust can do." "Okay, I admit it," Larry
offers, "I was a little skeptical at first. But from now on Larry
Appleton will go out of his way, will bend over backwards, will walk that extra
mile to help his fellow man back on the straight and narrow path."
"Oh Cousin, that’s nice," Balki smiles, "I think Willie will be
happy to hear that." "Willie? Willie who?" Larry asks
worriedly. "Oh, Willie the Weasel," Balki explains, "He and
Vince were roommates in prison and so I invited him to come and stay here when
he gets out. You know, the thing is I’m not sure when he’s coming
because he said after he goes over the wall then he has to lay low until the
heat dies down, so I guess that means we’ll see him . . . early Fall?"
Larry look shocked and Balki continues playing with the frogs as the show ends.
