I Shouldn't Have Said That
Hitchcoc1 March 2023
Dick is struggling with a book he is writing on creating your own pillows. Joanne steps in to help him and he says that maybe he should use her name on the book. This sets all the wheels in motion. She begins to criticize his writing and rewriting parts. She wants to dedicate the book to some Aunt who tried to kill Dick with a lawnmower right after they were married. There is incredible tension.

While this is going on, Larry, Darryl, and Darryl, arrive at the inn because the Minuteman is being fumigated. Bob makes the mistake of telling them to make themselves at home. Since they eat breakfast in their long johns, they show up in the dining room for breakfast wearing said underwear. They also start whittling and are told that is wrong. Dick asks George to teach them to play Monopoly. When they pick up a "Chance" card, it says, "Take a Ride on the Reading" they leave the Inn, heading for a train station. Wonderful!

Newhart's Pillow Book

Joanna helps Dick with his new book and he offers to make her co author, causing creative differences.

Some funny moments of bickering in the Loudon's marriage. Best part of the episode though is Larry and the Darryls staying at the inn while their place is being fumigated. Dick makes the mistake of telling them to act as if they are at home. They come to breakfast in their long underwear and start whittling in the lobby. When Dick explains that is not allowed, Larry says "Did you ever consider posting these rules?"
