Dick Solomon of the Indiana Solomons

Episode Number: 84    Season Num: 4    First Aired: Tuesday January 12, 1999    Prod Code: 408
Dick receives an invitation to a family reunion that was meant for someone else, but decides to put down 'roots' and pass himself off as Richard Solomon, the long-missing nephew of Abe and Florence Solomon in Indiana. But acquiring an extended family proves to have its drawbacks when Dick, Sally Harry and Tommy go to Indiana with Mary to meet their new relatives and discover the reason why the real Richard Solomon dropped out of sight 43 years ago. While Harry immediately clicks with crotchety Uncle Abe, Cousin Jacob is decidedly frosty to Dick. Meanwhile, Cousin Janine is more than frosty (she's downright freaked) when Tommy tries to get friendly with her. "We're very distant cousins," he wails. "You have no idea how distant we are."

Mary: What did your father tell you about the family?

(Dick has just hung up with a Florence Solomon, who has invited the Solomons to a family reunion when Nina comes in.)
Dick: That was my aunt Florence in Indiana.
Nina: Since when do you have an aunt Florence in Indiana?
Dick: Since when do you have an aunt Florence in Indiana?
Nina: I don't!
Dick: Then why'd you bring it up? Sometimes Nina, I think you talk just to hear yourself talk! (edit)
Harry: Ah, the mail! What would a day on Earth be like without the mail?
Tommy: Probably a lot like Sunday. (edit)
