Episode #215 "Old Yeller"

  With Griffin now recording in his room at night, Hilton is getting no sleep and yelling non-stop about it. Still, he volunteers to read children’s books for another recording project Griffin is doing. But Griffin makes him interview for the position and then hires him reluctantly. At the Flower Café, Ruth, Pauline and Erica are struggling with a gorgeous but very clumsy young employee named Mark, who is filling in for his cousin. Later, Hilton invites the neighborhood kids over to hear him read, but when he changes the stories to make them more interesting, Griffin goes ballistic. This angers Hilton, but Griffin reminds him that Hilton yells at him on a daily basis. Griffin then fires Hilton, and Hilton responds by evicting Griffin. At the café, Mark tells Pauline that he’s seen her watching him and suddenly grabs her and kisses her. Pauline is ecstatic, but Ruth says gorgeous or not, Mark is too clumsy and he has to go. When Ruth learns that Griffin has been evicted, she tells Hilton that the real problem is that Griffin is too old to be yelled at constantly and that Hilton is a ‘two-pack-a-day’ yeller. Hilton responds by saying that he comes from a long line of yellers, but reluctantly agrees to let Griffin stay. Amazingly, Griffin’s recording client loves the tracks where Hilton is yelling in the background and wants to hear more of him. So now Griffin’s problem becomes how to get Hilton to start yelling again.
