What do you do when you blow out a tire?<br>

MEREDITH: Don't bring the guy who lit the match!<br>
SHELLEY: Who lit the match!<br>

And we're gonna change all the locks,<br>
And we're gonna stay with my cousins a while.<br>
Then we'll get a three bedroom house<br>
with a white picket fence and a gun and a lawyer,<br>

SHELLEY: Right! Still kinda sad that my dad lost what marbles he had<br>

MEREDITH: No, honey a three bedroom house,<br>
A three bedroom house<br>
In a concrete shelter ten feet underground!<br>
<br>
SHELLEY: Mom! I want to marry Edgar! I'm in love with him!<br>
MEREDITH: No, Shelley.<br>
SHELLEY: What?<br>
MEREDITH: You're not in love with Edgar!<br>
SHELLEY: Yes, I am, Mom. I love him so much. And I want to be with him forever-<br>
MEREDITH: No, Shelley! It's hideous! It's not right!<br>
SHELLEY: You're just like the rest of them!<br>
MEREDITH: You don't understand- Shelley! NO!<br>
<br>
What about the three bedroom house?<br>
