- Hi.
- Hi.

- Okay, come on.

It's alright.

Come on, now.
Come on in.

- Oh, no, Sara,
you did it again,

you brought home
a stray puppy.

Well, I was close.

- This is Monroe Ficus.

Monroe, this is
my sister, Jackie.

- Hi.
- Come on in.

- No, I'll just wait
in your hallway.

You have a lovely hallway.

- He's very shy.

- Where did you find him?
- He's a student.

I defended him from
some girl in the cafeteria.

She called him
a wishy washy doormat

and a spineless jellyfish.

- Who was she?
- My fiance.

- Won't you please come in?

- No, I'll just
get in the way.

- You're in the way now.

I want to close the door,

but I don't want to close it
in your face.

- Oh, I don't mind.
Everyone shuts the door

in my face, it's okay.

- You see why
I had to defend him?

Excuse us, Monroe,
just a sec.

What're we gonna do now?
- What do you mean we?

You're the one
who brought him home.

- I didn't exactly
bring him home.

He followed me.

- Sara, it's the old story.

You're never able to say no
and really mean it.

You're afraid to
assert yourself.

You're overly concerned
with people's feelings.

- Oh, that is not true.

- I'll talk to him.
- What are you going to say?

- Don't worry,
I'll be diplomatic.

Monroe,

just because a girl shows you
a little attention doesn't mean

she wants to strike up
a meaningful relationship

or enter into any kind of
emotional commitment,

no matter what
"Cosmopolitan" says.

- Oh, say no more.
I got the message, yeah.

- Good.

- I guess I've always
been better at getting men,

and you've always been better
at getting rid of them.

(knocking at door)
But not this time.

- I can't believe him.

How many times do
I have to say--

Hi, Dad.

Wow, you look sensational.

- I thought I'd wear this
Saturday night

when we go out to
celebrate our anniversary.

What do you think?
- Looks great.

Did you rent it?
- Oh, no, no.

I bought this 13 years ago

when the Cartoonists Guild
had the award dinner.

"Cosmic Cow" was nominated

for the best children's cartoon
of the year.

- I never knew that.
Did you win?

- No, the Guild felt that
that "Cosmic Cow" didn't have

the educational and cerebral
qualities worthy of the award.

- So who'd they give it to?

- Arnold the Aardvark.

What do you think?
Think it fits?

- Yeah, I think it makes you
look very sophisticated.

- Well, a tuxedo does
that for a man,

gives him an air
of elegance, dignity.

Turns every man into
a David Niven.

I should have said
Gerald Ford.

I should also know by now
not to trust your furniture.

- Dad, you're going to look
terrific on Saturday night.

Where are we going for dinner?

- Well, nowhere yet,
but we are on the waiting list

at the Versailles,

the Chez Louis,
Chateau Pierre,

and the International
House of Pancakes.

- I don't think Mom cares
that much where we eat

as long as we're all together.

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

This is our 24th
wedding anniversary.

There aren't many people today
who stay married 24 years.

- You know,
that's longer than

Jackie and I have
been alive.

- Yes, it's supposed
to work that way.

I found the restaurant

that is the ultimate dining
of the entire Bay Area

and this is where we're
celebrating our anniversary.

Maison Lafitte.

- Maison Lafitte?
- Uh-huh.

- Oh, you'll never
get in there.

I mean, if you really wanted to
spend our 24th anniversary

at Maison Lafitte,
you should have made

a reservation the night
we got married.

- I couldn't.
I was busy.

This is worth a try.

- You'll never get in.

- Dollar says I do.

- (chuckles)
You're on.

- Good afternoon.

I'd like to reserve a table
for four this Saturday night.

We're celebrating our
wedding anniversary

and the Maison Lafitte is
my wife's favorite restaurant.

Wonderful.

11:30?

Our anniversary will be over
before the salad comes.

Look, we're celebrating our
24th wedding anniversary.

You're a Frenchman,
where's your sense of romance?

Mmm.

- What'd he say?

- He said to a Frenchman,

living with the same woman
for 24 years isn't romantic.

- That's because he hasn't
lived with me.

Oh, honey,
call Humberto's.

We can always get in there.

We're going
to Maison Lafitte

or we're not going at all.

- $2 says we're not
going at all.

- You're on.

(speaking gruffly)
Hello, Maison Lafitte.

This is Dr. Henry Rush, MD.

I like to reserve a table
for four this Saturday night.

No, no, no, no, 8:30
would be a bit inconvenient.

I prefer 08:00.

I have surgery at midnight,

and I never operate on
a full stomach.

Excellent. Thank you.

This will go very nicely
for the cocktails.

- Do me a favor.

Don't say hello
to strange people.

Don't get involved
in the problem.

Stop being nice.

Come in, Monroe.

- I don't mind waiting
in the hallway.

- Get in here!

- Hi.

Where did you find him?

- He came to the bank to tell me
how grateful he was because

I took the time yesterday
to explain about

meaningful relationships.

- Oh, that was so thoughtful.

- He wrote it in
a thank you note

and slipped it to me
across the counter.

The teller next to me thought
it was a hold up

and stepped on
the silent alarm.

- The police were there
in five minutes.

They handcuffed me
and read me my rights

then roughed me up.

Boy, it's comforting to know

they don't just do it
to minorities.

- Excuse us, Monroe.

I've had enough for Monroe.

You get rid of him
this time.

- Oh, I don't want
to hurt his feelings.

He's so gentle, so well meaning.

You know, there aren't
many people like him

left in the world.

Monroe, we'd love
to talk to you,

but our parents are
expecting us for dinner.

- Oh, thanks,
but I couldn't.

- Not you, Monroe, us.

- Oh!
Oh, sure.

Go right ahead.

Um, goodnight.
Goodnight.

(knocking on door)

- The closet...

Goodnight

- Mom, Dad, we're here.

- Hi.

- Monroe, what are you
doing here?

And why are you
in my father's robe?

- Well, your mother's
didn't fit.

- Hi.

- Mom, how'd he get in here?

- Oh, Monroe?

Well, he was standing by
the curb as I pulled in,

and there was this big puddle.

- It was my fault.

I shouldn't have been
standing there.

- So he said he was a friend of
yours, so I insisted he come up

while I put his clothes
in the washer.

I had to force him to put on
your father's robe.

He wanted to stand in
the hallway in his underwear.

- Jackie, Sara.

Monroe.

You're still here?

- His clothes
aren't dry yet.

- Well, you might as well
stay for dinner.

- No, thanks.
I couldn't impose.

- Why break a trend?
- There's plenty of food.

- No, really, I wouldn't
feel right.

- It's okay, really.

- Maybe you'd rather
eat in the hall.

- No, no, no, I'll just
watch you folks eat.

(Henry sighs)

You can sit down,
can't you?

- Oh, yeah, thanks.

- Tell us a little bit about
yourself, Monroe?

- I'm 5'10",
I weigh 165 pounds.

I'm a communications major
at San Francisco State.

I deliver newspapers in
the morning and I perform

occasionally as
a street singer at night.

and I really enjoy--
- I said "a little", Monroe.

- Oh.
- Won't you change your mind

and have some dinner?

- I'm just enjoying myself

watching all of you
enjoy yourself.

This is fun.

Besides, I don't eat chicken.

Not since I found out
what they do to them.

- What do they do to them?

- Well, for starters, they keep
them in cramped, isolation

little cages where they
force feed them till they get

all bloated and swollen and
just almost explode.

Then they're injected
with synthetic chemicals

to give them more breast meat.

And then you know what
they do to them?

They de-beak 'em!

Rip their beaks right off
their little faces.

(Muriel clears throat)

- (breathy whistle)

- What is that,
a wheeze or a whistle?

- It's high pitched panting.

- I cannot believe we've
been married 24 years.

- Seems like only yesterday
we were newlyweds,

kissing, hugging,
fooling around.

- And we're gonna keep fooling
around till we get it right.

- Ooh!

- I think we're a hit.

- What do we do for an encore?

- Nothing she can watch.

- I don't want to worry you,
but has anybody heard from Sara?

- Sara isn't here?

And you haven't heard
from her?

And you didn't want to worry us?

Well, you failed.

- You had no idea
where she is?

(phone rings)
- Oh, my God.

- She's been in an accident.
- How do you know that?

- We're parents.
We can tell by the ring.

(ringing continues)

- Somebody's got to answer it.

Hello?

Yeah, sure.

Just a second.

It's Monroe.

He wants to wish you
a happy anniversary.

- Oh, good old Monroe.

Always there when
we need him.

Hello, Monroe.

Thank you, Monroe.

Goodbye, Monroe.

Monroe, I can't talk now.

We've got a problem
on our hands.

Call back later.

What do you mean you're only
allowed one phone call?

You're in jail?

- In a cell or in
the hallway outside?

- $200 bail.

Well, why call me?
Why don't you call a friend?

Monroe, I can't be your
only friend, we just met.

I'm sorry about
your predicament,

but there's nothing I can do
to help you,

I'm sorry, goodbye.

- Monroe in jail?
What for?

- I don't know.
I didn't want to get into it.

I want to keep that line clear

in case Sara's trying
to reach us.

(phone rings)
Don't touch it!

- Henry!

- Hello? Sara!

Where in the world
have you been?

We've been driven crazy.

- Is she all right?
- Where is she?

- Are you all right?

She's all right.
- Oh, she's all right.

- Where is she?
- Where is she?

- Where are you?

No, I won't get mad.

No, I won't hang up.

Sara, I promise I won't hang up.

Sara, just tell me
where you are.

Why are you worried
whether or not I'll hang up?

What do you mean you only
allowed one phone call?

- Some way to spend
an anniversary.

Bailing my daughter
out of jail.

- I'm sorry, Dad.

- Sitting in a waiting room of
a police station watching

two winos have a belch-off.

- What's the world coming to
when they lock up poor students

for street singing?

- Unfortunately, the street
was in a hospital zone.

- Actually, Mr. Rush,
we weren't singing that loud.

I mean, what made all
the noise were the bed pans

they threw down at me.

- Well, the evening
isn't totally lost.

It's still your anniversary,

and we have food.

At least at Wong's Takeout,
we didn't need a reservation.

- Yeah, and Dad didn't have
to tell them he was a doctor.

- They seemed quite satisfied

with the fact that
you're an acupuncturist.

(laughing)

- I have some wine in
the refrigerator.

- Oh, I am going to go upstairs

and get the good
wine glasses.

Oh, Monroe, come on in.
Come on.

- Monroe, come
sit down and eat.

- No, thanks.
I'm not hungry.

I'll just watch.

- Oh, no, you don't!

You're going to sit down
and eat with the rest of us.

And I don't want to hear
what the Chinese do

with their egg foo young.

Sit here,
right in this chair.

- Dad, you open the wine.

- Ah-ha, certainly.

- Excuse me, Sara.

May I use your restroom?

- Of course.
It's right down the hall.

Are you sure it's okay?
I mean, I could go down to

the gas station on the corner,
if you don't want me--

- Will you go before
it's too late?

- Aww!

We're going to use
grandma's crystal?

Boy, you're really going
first class, Mom.

- Well, I thought
the occasion called for it.

I always remember
Grandma only brought

these glasses out on
very special occasions.

(door opens)

(door closes)
- Ah, Monroe,

you're just in time
for a toast.

- No, thanks, I'm not
deserving of such an honor.

- This isn't for you.

It's for us,
it's our anniversary.

- Oh, well,
in that case, sure.

I don't usually drink.

They say that alcohol
kills slowly.

- Dad, you make the toast.

- Muriel, this is for you.

May you live 1,000 years
and I 1,000 less one day

that I may never know
you passed away.

- I love you too.

- That was beautiful, Dad.

- Yeah, it's a lot more romantic

than over the lips,
past the gums,

watch out stomach,
here it comes.

- Will you drink your drink?

Oh, I'm starved,
let's eat.

- Oh, gosh.
I'm just so touched.

I've never been to an
anniversary party before.

- What about your mother
and father?

- Oh, well, they're
not here anymore.

- Oh, that's so sad.

Not having a family.

Monroe, we want you to know
that if you ever need anyone,

you can count on us.

- They moved to Miami.

- Drink your drink.

- Excuse me,
may I propose a toast?

To my new family.

May you always
be healthy and happy,

and may I always be welcome
in your home.

- Very nice.

(glass shatters)

- I saw that in a movie once.

- We're going to be late for
Sara and Monroe's hearing.

- Mmm.

- What time are we leaving?

- Uh, in 15 minutes.

Wh--Where's Monroe?

- I don't know.
I haven't seen him.

- What do you mean,
you haven't seen him?

He hasn't been in class
for four days.

- D--Did you call him?

- Yes.
There's no answer.

- W--Oh, I hope

he hasn't done something foolish
like jump bail.

- Monroe?
He's not the type.

- He's exactly the type.

Boy, talk about gratitude.

Take him into your home,
treat him like one

of your own children,
how does he repair you?

Treat you like one of
your own children.

- That's not fair, Dad.
You're jumping to conclusions.

- Conclusions?
If he doesn't show up,

I'm going to forfeit
the bail.

- Is that all you care
about, money?

There are more important things
than money.

We're talking about
a human being.

- Not quite.

We're talking
about Monroe.

Let this be a lesson to you.

this is what happens when
you have too much faith

in people you don't really know.

- But you can't go through life
not trusting anybody.

- And you can't go through
life trusting everybody.

- Sara, honey,
your father's right.

There are a lot of sleazy
characters in this world just

waiting to take advantage of a
naive, vulnerable girl like you.

- Monroe isn't like that.

I'm sure he has some
redeeming qualities.

- Sara, if I believed that
about everybody I met,

I'd be driving a Etsel.

Come on, let's go down
to the court,

maybe we can
postpone that hearing.

That boy doesn't have a brain
in his head.

Does he know what
it means to jump bail?

He'll be a fugitive
from justice.

He'll have his picture
on all the wanted posters.

Every cop in the country
will be look...

...ing for you.

Where the hell have you been?

- I found him waiting in
the hallway downstairs

as I was leaving for work.

- Monroe, we were worried.
- Were you really?

I went to Bakersfield
for four days.

- You can't spend
four days in Bakersfield

unless you're in a coma.

- Well, I went to work
so I could earn some money.

There's this little
nightclub up there.

It's kind of a cowboy hangout.

- And you sang there?
That's great.

- Well, not really.

Those audiences,
they can get kind of rough.

- How awful, they did this to
you after your performance?

- No, during.

But that's okay because--

because I made
enough money to buy this.

- What is it?
- It's for you, open it.

- (gasps)
Oh, Monroe.

- They're not your
grandmother's,

but they are old,
and they are crystal.

They had to be somebody's
grandmother's.

- Thank you.
You are so sweet, Monroe.

- Monroe, I misjudged you.

You're a very special
human being.

And I owe you an apology.

- So do I.

- Oh, that's okay.

- No, it isn't.

- Okay, Mr. Rush,

if it'll make you feel
better, apologize.

- Monroe, will you
accept my apology?

- It's not necessary.
