The premise

Here’s the bit.

Celebrating five years of marriage at a resort, Jason and Mal are savoring their first child-free getaway when they discover a man's body under the bubbles of their hot tub. Before they can report it, a chatty Southern couple, Hank and Lu Ellen, insist on climbing in, so the pair shove the body out of sight and try to act normal. Jason keeps blurting out denials of crimes nobody mentioned, an unseen foot plays footsie with Lu Ellen, and a pair of legs surfaces beside him that he passes off as his own. When a security guard asks whether anyone has seen something missing, Mal cracks and confesses to the body, only for the guard to be looking for a wallet and for the "dead" man to burst up celebrating a new breath-holding record.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Out of our limited options, that was probably the worst.

This is my wife, Mal, and I'm innocent.

Three minutes and fifty-three seconds, baby! A new record!
