confused..there is one scene with a house full of people. But when it's visited again it's justa ruin..and Mr. Cosby's character laughs ...

I think the joke is that the house was there only a day earlier and filled with people and now it's gone. Like it fell off the cliff. I think a lesser film would have had Cosby say "It's just one of those weeks."

Thanks! That's what I thought!

If you notice on the patio scene the place is crumbling away...there's rebar sticking out and half the patio is gone with a huge drop off. At the strip club later, Boggs again mentions his own house. He then says..."at least it's not falling off a cliff."
