It's that Irish Wofhound upstairs sneezing.

Oscar has a date with a hot airline stewardess, all is going well, Felix will be away in Washington for the weekend, Oscar literally is dancing on air. Then he hears a voice from the bedroom, Felix isn't away, he's in bed sick with a 48 hour flu virus. Oscar sets Felix up with some home comforts and sets about getting ready to go out, but as Felix condition worsens he feels guilty about leaving him alone in the house. After saying he will cancel his date Felix convinces him to bring her to the apartment instead and assures Oscar he'll be quiet.

Things will not go according to plan this weekend.........

The marker is set here for Felix to always be in the way of any romance and fun Oscar may have, he doesn't do it on purpose, he just gets in the way, and it makes for fun TV. 6/10
