Sometimes the world looks perfect

* Nothing to rearrange

* Sometimes you just get a feeling

* Like you need some kind of change

* No matter what the odds are this time

* Nothing's gonna stand in my way

* This flame in my heart like a long lost friend

* Gives every dark street a light at the end

* Standing tall

* On the wings of my dream

* Rise and fall

* On the wings of my dream

* The rain and thunder

* The wind and haze

* I'm bound for better days

* It's my life and my dream

* Nothing's gonna stop me now *

BALKI: Okay, this is a hard one.

You'll never guess this.

ALL: Bambi.

You guys are good.

Balki, you always do Bambi.

Boy, when the four of us get together

we sure do have fun, don't we?

Jennifer has something she's been wanting to tell you.

Uh, um, maybe later.

Now, come on. What is it?

Well, the airline is giving me a promotion.

Oh!

And I'm moving to Los Angeles.

Oh!

Oh.

What do you think about that, Larry?

A promotion.

In Los Angeles.

Mary Anne.

Are you going to Los Angeles, too?

Oh, no, I have allergies.

So, uh,

Jennifer, when are you moving?

I haven't given them a definite yes.

I mean, It's a good career move,

and it's more money and the weather is great,

but Chicago is my home.

What do you think about that, Larry?

What do I think?

Yeah, I mean, she has a point.

It's a good career move,

Well, weather is great.

And maybe she should go for it.

Uh, you know what they say,

opportunity knocks but once.

You're right.

I don't know why I was so indecisive.

I guess if it's a good career move

and it's more money

and the weather's great.

Well, what's keeping me here?

Nothing.

Let's go, Mary Anne, it's late.

Thanks for the wonderful evening.

Goodnight.

"Opportunity knocks but once"?

The woman of your dreams is, is leaving for California

and that's all you can say?

"Opportunity knocks but once"?

Can you afford it?

All right, what was I supposed to say?

She obviously has her plans made,

and, and I'm not part of them.

Oh, cousin, cousin, cousin, cousin.

Listen to the wisdom that made Mypos great.

There are none so blind

as those who will not hear.

Cousin, you, you've gotta go up to her

and tell her you will die a thousand deaths

if she go to California.

Not a chance.

If I went out there and told her how I felt

she'd laugh in my face.

But, cousin, if, if you don't, don't tell her,

you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

Forget it, Balki.

Nothing you can say will change my mind.

BALKI: You're going to regret it the rest of your life.

Opportunity knocks but once.

You're going to be a lonely old man.

Old man.

Darling, I'm home.

Wow.

Married 37 years

Dinner's almost ready.

How was your day?

Oh, Balki, I thought we agreed we had enough hotels.

Well, I know, but this one got a revolving door

and you know how much I love revolving doors.

Oh, Balki. You'll never grow up.

I certainly hope not.

BOTH: Come in, Cousin Larry.

Hope I'm not interrupting anything.

I brought the rent check.

I'm afraid I'm a little short this month.

Larry, we've told you every month.

You don't have to pay rent.

Balki owns the building.

I know, I know,

I'll, I'll make it up next month.

How much am I behind?

Oh, cousin, I have no idea.

No, really I want to know.

It's absolutely nothing.

I insist. Cousin, it's a pittance.

Balki, how much do I owe you?

Thirty five thousand dollars.

I'm good for it.

One of these days I'm gonna hit the lottery.

Well, of course you are, don't be absurd.

Is that pig snout I smell?

I haven't had a good pig snout dinner since, uh,

since, uh...

Yesterday. That's right.

Well, I never could say no to Mary Anne's snout.

Oh, you're expecting someone.

Only you, cousin.

Oh, there we go.

I made Jell-O for dessert.

Love Jell-O. Always have.

You'll never guess who I got a letter from today.

Jennifer?

Remember you, you let her go to Los Angeles

and it ruined your life.

No, can't place her.

In her letter she said she's getting a divorce.

I think he's a Yugoslavian prince.

Are you sure it's not the astronaut?

No, no, no, the prince was her second husband.

He came between the Texas oil man and the astronaut.

She's divorcing her fourth husband.

I don't know what he does, but I think he owns Asia.

If it's the same Jennifer I'm thinking about.

Well, if it is the Jennifer you're thinking about,

she'll be in town tomorrow and she's stopping

by here for a visit.

Isn't that magnificent, cousin?

Finally, after all these years

you'll be able to see Jennifer face to face.

Here's looking at you, kid.

Cousin, I...

That makes you a bit more than fashionably late.

I started dressing three hours ago,

but I can't help but feel

something's missing.

Your pants, perhaps? Hmm?

Oh, oh.

Cousin, you know,

I haven't seen you dressed in a necktie in quite a while.

You cut a fine figure.

You mean it?

Would I lie to you?

Cousin, come along, let's go and see Jennifer.

Oh, Balki, what's the point?

Any feelings...

Any feelings I had for Jennifer are dead and buried.

Well, from the looks of your apartment, it's a shallow grave.

Well, maybe I still feel something for Jennifer.

So what?

It's too late.

Ah! It's never too late.

It's over. It's done.

It's yesterday's potatoes.

Oh, ya, ya, ya...

Yeah, it's easy for you to say.

But for me, the ship has sailed.

She said she'd love to see you again.

She did?

Yes, she did.

See how she's changed.

See if the years have treated her well.

We could talk about all the things she's done.

All the things I haven't done.

Cousin, think of it, man.

There was a spark there once.

Perhaps you can fan it into a flame again.

Fan it, man. Fan it.

You're right, Balki.

Let's go see Jennifer.

Oh, cousin, now we are so happy

we do the dance of joy.

BOTH: * Di-di-di-di, di-di-di-di-di-di

* Hey, hey

* Hey, hey

* Hey, hey *

BALKI: This is your second chance.

There was a spark there once.

Fan it, man. Fan it.

This is your last chance.

Last chance.

I don't know about this, Balki.

I'm not as cute as I used to be.

I'm an old man.

Well, cousin, we're all old.

Oh, you're here.

And you look so

clean.

Jennifer's a little nervous about seeing you.

Maybe she's not as cute as she used to be.

Here's Jennifer, Larry.

Hi, Larry.

Jennifer, you haven't changed a bit.

Well...

I mean nothing.

Not anything.

Try to show a little dignity.

Why don't we all sit down?

Well, here we all are

together again.

The four musketeers.

Friends till the end. That's right.

Well,

we got to go.

Go? What, what do you mean go?

Where, where are you going? I just got here.

Ever since Balki bought the Cubs,

he likes to throw out the first ball.

Of every game.

Baseball fever.

I caught it, and I bought it.

Balki. Balki.

You can't leave me alone with Jennifer.

But, cousin, this is your chance to reveal to her how you feel.

It... The sounds you hear is opportunity knocking.

So you just, you just walk right to the... Balki?

We should be going we're going to be late.

Balki, honey, let them both speak.

Darling, we're, we're not going to be late.

You just walk right across... Balki.

Darling, I'm involved.

All right. Let's go.

See you later.

Uh, Larry, I meant to tell you that-- Jennifer--

Uh, go ahead. No, you go on.

No, ladies first.

I have to go. Huh?

I don't have much time, I have a plane to catch.

Jennifer don't go to Los Angeles!

I'm not going to Los Angeles. I'm going to Monte Carlo.

No, no, it's what I should have said 40 years ago

when you had that job opportunity in California.

I wanted you to stay in Chicago with me.

I like you a lot now.

I'll probably always like you a lot.

You do?

You like me?

That's wonderful.

We can build a life together.

We'll start over. Let's have lots of kids.

Where do you want to live?

I like Chicago, but California's

probably better for my rheumatism.

Little thing here. Oh, what the heck!

It doesn't matter where we are

as long as we're together.

Oh, gosh, Jennifer. I feel 60 again.

Well, Larry, we live in different worlds now.

I mean, mine is a world of fancy parties

lunch at the Polo Lounge, dinner at Maxim's.

The cholesterol alone would kill you.

Where are you going?

Please, don't go.

If only you'd said something 40 years ago,

things might have been different.

I understand.

Goodbye, Jennifer.

Goodbye, Larry.

No, don't go!

No, no!

No, don't leave me! Don't leave me!

Oh, don't leave me!

Please, don't leave me.

Don't leave me!

Oh, what... What...

Oh! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Hello, you wonderful old Myposian artifacts! Oh! Coming through.

Ah-hah! I have hair! I have hair!

Lots of hair.

Mom!

You have no mustache!

Zuzu's petals!

It's not too late.

Must be an antacid flashback.

Who is it?

Larry, what's wrong? Jennifer, don't go.

What? Don't go to Los Angeles.

You don't want me to go?

No. No.

I'm not too late again, am I?

Jennifer, I really like you.

I don't think I've liked anybody as much.

Oh, Larry, when you didn't say anything

I thought that you didn't feel

about me the way I feel about you.

Well, how do you feel about me?

I like you, Larry.

As long as you like me.

I do, I do, I like you.

I want to stay here, too.

You do? I do.

I'll stay.

You won't be sorry. We'll have fun.

I'll do nice things for you.

Do you want a pizza?

Larry, it's three o'clock in the morning.

Right.

Yes, I got you up.

I'll go back downstairs

'cause, and I just, I just, I...

Do you still like me?

Does that answer your question?

I guess it does.

Well, I, I, I should be going.

Shouldn't I?

I, I think so.

Goodnight.

Whoa! Whoa!

Balki.

You'll never guess what happened.

You fell down the stairs.

Well, yes, but that's not important.

Jennifer's not going to Los Angeles.

She likes me, she really likes me.

Cousin, you're starting to sound like Sally Field at the Academy Awards.

I can't help it.

You're the one who told me to go upstairs and tell her how I feel.

Well, I like to call them like I call them.

You know, I have always let opportunities slip through my fingers

because I've been afraid to take chances.

Well, I learned a lesson tonight.

Yes, you did.

and you stepped in something good.

Balki,

I feel, like, I'm on top of the world.

I feel, like, I could do anything.

I feel...

I feel like I broke my leg.
