"Everything was just fine untill Beethoven came into our lives"

How could they be just fine? If it weren't for Beethoven dragging the obnoxious couple who were gonna take the family business. George would have signed the contract and he would have been out of the job, wouldn't have money to support his family. So it was Beethoven that made their lives seem better.
