Intrigue

Archie's doctor tells him to go on a diet or else he'll suffer serious health problems. Archie rejects the efforts of Edith, Mike, and Gloria to help him stick with the diet, but Justin Quigley provides the inspiration he needs.

Archie begins behaving like an angry child when Edith puts him on a diet when his doctor orders him to lose 25 pounds. Fed up with Edith's attempts to lower his sodium and cholesterol, he storms out of the house and starts taking his meals at Kelcy's, but even Kelcy gets irritated with his constant temper tantrums. Finally, he gets some useful advice from Justin Quigley while the old man is out jogging. He shows Archie pictures of his family, all of whom died young because they didn't take care of themselves, and warns Archie that he'd better do the same if he wants to dance at Joey's wedding someday.—Jerry Roberts <armchair-cinema@hotmail.com>
