A Death In The Vanderkellen Family
Jimmy_the_Gent49 May 2018
Stephanie's cousin Ned is celebrating his 100th birthday but dies at the party.

Ned is played by character actor Lyle Talbot (he was actually only 85 at this time and lived to be 94). Ned is described as a professional sue-er, meaning he made his millions suing people. History buff Dick tries talking to him but can't get much conversation out of him. Stephanie cries at the funeral and her family is embarrassed by her emotion. The final scene shows a reading of the will which results in the funniest scene.

I Cried a Tear
Hitchcoc21 March 2023
The Loudons and George are invited to a birthday party for a 100 year old cousin. He is a feisty guy who has made a fortune suing people over his long life. Dick tries to engage with him but fails to connect in the least. After blowing out the candles on his enormous cake, he sits back and dies. The guests decide to attend the funeral but Stephanie has never been to one. Her family has shielded her against anything negative during her life. Dick talks her into staying and she begins to cry, which is looked down on by her family. The funniest scene in the whole thing is the reading of the will. I won't say more. Don't miss it.
