And that although none of their relatives were in the concentration camps, they did escape Germany, and thus the reason that the Livingstons are alive and eating dinner today. Using her logic of historical forces, Scooby comes to the conclusion that without Hitler none of us would be here either. His father, a bellowing and no-nonsense John Goodman, instantly dismisses him from the table...
