Casa Paradiso

After one too many days in a boarding house that's falling apart with a bunch of occupants that seem to have nothing better to do than to yell at him all day (and in Oskar's case, that's not far from the truth), Grandpa threatens to sell the boarding house and move himself, Grandma, and Arnold to a retirement home Written by Joseph Purdy Storyboard Direction by Mark O'Hare Animation Direction by Steve Socki (only Steve Socki received a "Directed By" credit) Storyboard Artist: Mark O'Hare Cast: Arnold - Phillip Van Dyke Grandpa, buyer - Dan Castellaneta Oskar, Casa Paradiso spokesman - Stephen Viksten Mr. Hyunh - Baoan Coleman Ernie - Dom Irrera Grandma - Tress MacNeille Suzie - Mary Scheer     * There's a City Certificate on the wall that says "Habitatus Bonus - Sunset Arms"     * Oskar and Suzie moved in on their wedding day, and Suzie carried Oskar "over the threshhold" (and Suzie has been carrying Oskar ever since)     * Mr. Hyunh says that the boarding house is close to his shop, but in "Mr. Hyunh Goes Country", he works in a restaurant
