[Gidget narrating] One thing you'll

have to admit
about today's kids--

We know what we like.

And the number
one favorite hangout

we really dig is The Shaggy Dog.

Maybe it's because of Sock.

That's short
for Henry B. Socrates.

There's something so
kind of lovable about him.

Look, Charlie. If that face
of yours drops any lower,

you're gonna get
a chin full of clam

chowder, and it's
gonna slop on your tie.

Now, if there's
one thing I can't

stomach, it's a slurpy slob!

How's my credit,
Sock?

So what else is new?
Write it down-- in English.

[Gidget narrating] Or maybe

it's because we
feel free in here,

away from routine
and discipline.

Hey, Prince. Would
you mind getting

your dirty elbow off
my clean counter?

Where do you think you are,
home?

We can act as we please,
no one to bug us.

What's with you, Marlon? Get up
too late to find a clean shirt?

Or is this
a new obnoxious look?

My only clean shirt
had a button missing.

Hey, listen. Maybe--
Don't look at me.

I've sewn the last
button I'm ever

gonna sew on for
you pantywaists.

Besides,
I've lost my thimble.

Hey, Sock, where'd
you learn how to sew?

The marines.
Where do you think--

Mrs. Doolittle's sewing circle
for young ladies?

And another thing about Sock,
he's diplomatic.

Hey, Gertrude. You
know, I don't know

what to get you
for your birthday--

A set of hair curlers
or a collar and a leash.

Oh, knock it off, Sock.
It's me, Ken.

No kiddin'!
[chuckles] You know, I

never thought I'd
live to see the day...

when you can't
tell the difference

between the boys and the girls.

Of course, at my age
that ain't no major calamity.

But when you can't tell the

difference, chum,
you got problems.

I guess what it
really is, is that

we feel this place
belongs to us.

We discovered it.
It's ours.

"Citizens unite to
oust Shaggy Dog.

Raising funds to
buy out Socrates."

Sock, did you know
about this? I heard rumors.

You mean a bunch of
people can get together

and throw you out
of your own place?

Ever heard of the right
of eminent domain, pal?

Or are those words
too big for you?

Sure, like, if somebody
wants to build a freeway,

they buy out somebody's
property, but that's different.

Yeah. Maybe if
you'd get your hair cut,

you could see what's
goin' on in the world.

- What are you gonna do, Sock?
- Nothin'.

Yeah, but I thought you
liked it here. Are you kiddin'?

You think it's a
thrill for me to spend

the rest of my life
lookin' at your mugs?

Listenin' to your beefs?

Look, the biggest favor they
could do is to buy me out.

I got a life to lead too,
you know.

Yeah, but-- Gee, Sock, what
are we gonna do without you?

I mean, where are we gonna
hang out?

Why don't you try
hangin' out at home

sometime-- that is, if
you remember where it is.

Aw, come on, Sock-- And
stop squawkin' till you're hurt.

Nobody's buyin' me out yet--

At least not until
they raise the loot to

do it with, and that
ain't gonna be easy.

Now will you relax?

And you, drink your milk, or you

won't make the
team again this year.

I've got it!

Don't get too close to
me. It might be contagious.

- Sock, you need a lawyer.
- [boy] That's an idea.

Look, Sam. I don't need
a lawyer. They need one.

Oh, come on, Sock.
Be reasonable.

Now, I happen to
be on very intimate

terms with a very
influential man.

Your dad!
Right.

He'll help him get a
good lawyer. Will he do it?

Well, I've got a
50-50 chance. Yeah?

He'll either
say yes or no.

Dad?
Hey! Where's the fire?

Oh, I'm glad you're home.
Well, nice to be popular.

I've got something
to tell you.

Good. I have something
to tell you.

Oh, this is important. Oh?
How much are you overdrawn?

I need a lawyer.
That bad, huh?

Dad, this is serious.
Being sued?

Daddy! Alienation of affection--
someone stole your boyfriend.

Worse. What could
be worse than that?

It's about the
Shaggy Dog. Oh, that.

What I have to say
is important, Dad.

You don't know
what's going on.

Well, I know a lot more than you

think. Can you
imagine the nerve...

of a lot of people
getting together

and deciding just like that...

to throw out a perfectly
respectable businessman...

who-- who runs a perfectly
respectable hangout for kids?

Just because a lot of nerdy

squares think--
Now, take it easy.

Take it easy!
Daddy, how can I?

Have you seen
this morning's paper?

Yes. Have you seen
the evening paper?

Traitor!

My father, the traitor!
Gidge, I have told you.

This is not my idea, even
though I do agree with it.

But the citizens got together
and appointed me to--

Russell Lawrence-- Professor
Lawrence, late humanitarian--

Has joined forces with the

opposition to aid
and abet them...

in this disgraceful example
of pilferage!

We are not pilfering anybody.
This is business!

We simply raise the money
to buy out this Mr. Socrates,

and then the city
puts up something

attractive on that corner--

Something that'll fit into
the surrounding neighborhood.

Like what?
A mausoleum?

A museum-- an art museum--
something like this.

Blech! I think it's
very attractive.

Yeah, if you like early
tombstone. Oh, Gidget.

Oh, Daddy, you can't
do this to Sock.

Sock?
Mr. Socrates.

If you only knew
what a good guy he

is, the wonderful
things he does.

- You just can't do it to him.
- Do what?

Stop making it sound as if
we're stealing something.

Any astute businessman
will tell you that--

Well, Sock isn't
an astute businessman.

He's just a sweet,
funny-looking little guy

that tells corny jokes
and uses poor English...

and hasn't got a dime to his

name 'cause he
gives it all away.

Okay. So soon, he'll be a
sweet, funny-looking little guy

who has a dime to his name.

And the city will have something
that it needs in the bargain.

A slab of marble. Big deal.

[deepens voice] Hamburger joint. Big deal.

I'm not talking about
the hamburger joint.

I'm talking about
the guy behind it.

And I am not talking
about a slab of marble.

It's what it represents--
progress, beauty,

a-- a storehouse
for history and culture.

Oh, fine. Give us a
few more monuments,

and we can forget
all about people.

I'm sorry, Gidge,
but I have no choice.

I've given my word. My

committee's
already gone to work.

- That's your final decision?
- It is.

Where are you going?

To set up my own
committee. For what?

For the preservation and

protection of
private property...

owned by one private citizen,
Henry B. Socrates--

To help him in his fight
against militant forces of evil!

Have any idea what
she'll do? I don't know.

You take 15 and a half
years of bottled-up energy...

all wrapped up
in ideals and theories...

and spurred on by do-gooders
and no-good doers--

[chuckles] Probably write the president

and he'll take it up
with Congress,

and I'll be investigated
for evasion of my income tax.

Oh, it doesn't pay
to evade income

tax, Russ. It gets
you in trouble.

Thanks, I'll remember
that. Hi, honey.

Hi. Is there any more coffee?

Uh, yeah, on the
stove. Uh, Shaggy Dog!

If Gidget mentions
that once more--

Well, if I know
Gidget, she's not going

to give up until
she gets her way.

Getting Gidget a dog,
Russ?

No, I'm not getting
Gidget a dog, John.

Why not?

I thought I'd get her
an elephant.

Where are you gonna keep
an elephant?

The zoo. She could have
visiting privileges weekends.

Give her the dog.

Well, every youngster
should have one.

It teaches them
patience and tolerance.

I think I'll get one for myself.

There's a selfish attitude.

You're not gonna let Gidget have
a dog, but you're gonna get one.

John, uh, would you see
if the evening paper's here?

Sure thing, honey.

Well, I've got a meeting
with the city council.

Bye.
Bye.

Say! When you
take a stand, you go

all out. It even
makes the papers.

"Daughter holds out
for Shaggy Dog.

Father says doggy go go."

So our only recourse is to earn
enough money to hire a lawyer...

and fight this nerdy
piece of injustice.

So I've set up the following

committees: Gail
Martin, babysitting.

Peter Gates, house-to-house
canvass for empty bottles.

Susie and Connie--

Well.
Meeting of the war council?

Did you want
something, Father? I did.

I presume it's important.
It's an extreme emergency.

I would like my dinner.

Now, Gidget.

[Gidget narrating] Under the circumstances,

it seemed wise
to yield temporarily

to the hierarchy and adjourn.

Bye. I'll see you all later.

[Gidget narrating] I'll have to admit

it wasn't easy
arguing with Daddy.

Now, it's fine if you believe in

something strongly
enough to fight for it,

but you must be
very careful about

what issues you
choose to defend.

Unfortunately, some of the
things he said made sense.

Wasting your time trying
to raise money to save a--

A run-down, termite-ridden
hamburger shack is plain stupid!

Fortunately, some of the things
he said didn't make sense.

Here, let me have it.

Thanks a lot.
Oh, I'm sorry.

That's all right.
I'll hang a fried egg

around my neck,
and nobody'll notice.

Would you like
anything else? Well, I

might have a little
mayonnaise right--

Toast. Toast.
That should be safe enough.

There's still time
to fight on my side.

I don't believe in
your side. And will

you stop making
this sound like war?

- But, Daddy, this is war!
- That's fairly obvious.

[machine gun fire]

[no Audible dialogue]

[machine gun fire]

Gidge! Gidget!

Morning,
Professor Lawrence.

Good morning.
Who's winning?

Well, I'm not! Looks as
if I'm in the wrong war.

You got the right war. You're
just fightin' on the wrong side.

The back door's
usually open.

[chattering]

[murmuring] Great.

[clears throat] May I help you, sir?

You can help me by clearing
out this room immediately.

Uh, I can't do that.
The sale just started.

Frances.
Frances?

Yes, Frances.

I do not intend to stand by and

see strangers
come into my home...

and buy my clothes to advance
a cause I don't believe in.

They aren't
your clothes, Daddy.

People anxious to
help a worthwhile

cause have been contributing.

That raincoat I just saw
going out the door was mine.

No, it wasn't. You gave it
to the milkman last month.

Then what's it doing
here? He gave it back.

He said he wanted to contribute
something to help our cause.

I don't care what--

You're not selling
that television set!

It's mine.
You gave it to me.

I paid for it!

You have a point.

Never let it be said that I
would stoop to unjust methods.

I'd also like to remind you
that I am having...

a committee meeting here
in the next few minutes.

Oh, that's okay. You won't
bother us. You will bother us.

You can use the den.
Very generous of you.

Perhaps some of
your friends would

like to buy something from us.

We've a special today
on some of your old hats.

Those men are coming here
on business. Oh, that's okay.

I'm not fussy who buys.

Care to negotiate?

I do not.

[sighs]

Hi, Gidget. Sorry I'm late.

I had to pick up my cousin
at the airport.

Buzz Britton,
Gidget Lawrence. Hi.

How are you? Eh, what is this?
[gasps]

It's my watch!

Buzz is a
practicing illusionist.

- A what?
- He makes with the magic.

He's even been on
television, he's so good.

Oh.

We could use some
magic around here.

We're running out
of clothes to sell.

See what you could do
about that. I'm at your service.

Hey, where's the enemy
hanging out?

In the den,
waiting for new recruits.

You could watch the
door, if you will. Oh, roger.

[giggles]

Your, uh, purse, madam.

[doorbell rings]

Gentlemen,
welcome to the combat zone.

We're looking for
Professor Lawrence.

Enemy headquarters
is 10 paces to the right.

Aye, aye.

Gentlemen.

Any more customers?
Huh? Oh, no.

Those were just some
men to see your father. Oh.

Listen, uh, suppose we
could get anything for this?

Where'd you get that?
Oh, a little legerdemain.

Oh, you didn't!

Well, you said you
needed more clothes.

Well, not like that.
We'll have to give it back.

We're keeping these
ground rules fair.

Now you tell me.

Hi, Dad. There was this
slight confusion at the door.

Gidget, this has gone far

enough. Oh, thank
you, Professor.

Perhaps, uh, maybe we better
call a peace conference, huh?

No. I think the time
has come for a showdown.

You're angry?
I'm angry!

Look at this! Headlines splashed
all over the front page!

"Father and daughter
battle."

I've been humiliated,
embarrassed--

Even my students are laughing at
me. That's because you're wrong!

Because you make
me look wrong, which

is a very significant
difference!

Now, I want to talk
to you, Frances.

Here it comes-- the dictator!

Ruler of hearth
and home about to

lay down the law
to his subjects!

As long as I pay the
bills around here, young

lady, that gives me
the right to dictate!

As long as you're
bigger than I am and

can yell louder and
can pull more rank,

I have to listen!
Then suppose you start.

Start what?
Listening!

No need to yell.
I can hear you.

This nonsense, these
teenage revolutionary

tactics-- Nonsense? Nonsense?

Don't yell.
I can hear you.

You've spent hours teaching me
to fight for a principle,

and when I do,
you call it nonsense.

I should have spent more hours
teaching you the difference...

between principle
and foolish idealism.

Defending the rights of a man
like Sock is foolish idealism?

Well--

Destroying a man like Sock
is your idea of principle?

No one is destroying anybody.
No one is cheating anybody.

Mr. Socrates is being bought
out fairly and squarely.

How can you buy out
a man's life?

How can you pay him fairly and

squarely for a
lifetime of hard work?

How can you put into dollars and

cents what that
place means to him?

Or to me? Or to all
the other kids that go there?

He must make very good
hamburgers to earn such loyalty.

He makes
lousy hamburgers.

What is this irresistible
magic this pied piper has?

Oh, go ahead. Make
jokes. Sock's world

is collapsing around
him, and you--

And I'm tired of hearing
the name "Sock"!

That figures.

What figures?

Crucifying a man
you don't even know.

I don't want to know him!

And I thought you were
different from other fathers.

I thought you had
compassion and-- and

appreciation for the
problems of others.

And I never thought
you'd jump to

conclusions without
knowing the facts.

What facts?

You wouldn't understand, Daddy.

You just wouldn't
understand!

Why am I leaving?
This is my room.

♪ [pop]

What'll it be?
Coffee, please.

Cream.

You're in the wrong
age bracket for cream.

Ain't you, pal?
And sugar.

Well, it's your arteries.

As long as you're living

dangerously, how
about a hamburger?

[quietly] No, thank you.

♪ [continues]

Hey, Sock!
Where are ya?

Sock? Simmer down!
I'll get there when I can!

Well, hurry up!
Come on, Sock!

For Pete's sake! Can you
tone it down to a college yell?

Nah, you haven't changed a bit.

Still the same old
bundle of charm.

And here I come 3,000 miles just
to have a bottle of champagne.

Gary! Gary Preeman!

Dr. Preeman,
if you please.

Cast your baby blues
over this.

Go ahead, Sock.
Read it. Read it!

"Gerald Frederick Preeman,
M.D.

Doctor of Medicine,
New York Medical

College." How'd you get this?

They givin' these
away instead of

tradin' stamps? Sure they are--

Four years of
college four years of

medical school,
three years internship.

Now all I need is three years
more residency at Memorial,

and I can hang up
my own shingle.

Congratulations.
I've still got your tab.

Maybe you can
pay your bill. My bill?

Listen. I'm gonna
hand you a blank check,

and you can fill in
your own numbers.

Uh, that is, if you can hang
loose for about three years.

- What else is new?
- On the level, Sock. I mean it.

If anyone has a lien on this
piece of parchment, it's you.

I'd have never made
it alone. That's why

I came here-- to let
you know about it.

Cut it out. You'll have me
bawlin', and my mascara'll run.

Besides, I'm busy.
Eh--

Were where do you keep
the glasses?

What do you mean, glasses?
I just washed the glasses.

There are some paper cups
under the counter.

I might have known. Hi. Hi.

Join me in a toast
to the old guy?

Uh, thanks. I'm having coffee.

A very inappropriate beverage for a celebration.
[cork pops]

I mean, uh, you
wouldn't know it, but this

is a very important
moment in my life.

I promised myself
eight years ago

that, if I ever made it,
[clattering]

this'd be the first place
I'd head for--

Just to hug that ugly old man
and say thanks.

You came all the way
from New York to say thanks?

Little enough.
Hey, Sock! Hurry up!

You know, this
place hasn't changed

since the first time I saw it.

I remember one day, my life
was crashing in around me--

Home, schools.

My father's business
was on the skids.

Money was tight.
Oh, it was lovely.

So I decided
to make a switch.

Quit school, get a job,
hit the road.

You know who stopped me?
That character.

No, no, no.
No lecture.

Nothing like that.
He put me to work.

He said if I was lookin' for a
job, I might as well start here.

So he put me in
the kitchen washin'

dishes. Kept me there all night.

I must have washed enough dishes

to fill the Empire
State Building.

I found out later
that, uh, soon as I

washed 'em, he kept
dirtying 'em up again.

Then the following
morning, I was

ready to go home
and back to school.

That was the first day.
Now, you multiply that by 730,

and you got a picture
of the next two years.

I wish I had a buck for
every other kid he's helped.

What are you tryin' to do,
ruin my image?

I'd have never made it,
Sock, without your help.

And you know it.
Okay, Doc. I'll try to

work up an ulcer
for your first case.

Here's to you, Sock.

[knocking]

Anyone for a cease-fire?

Oh, Dad!

Hi, Pop. Hey, here are the new
plans for the art museum, Gidge.

Oh!

- The new Shaggy Dog.
- terrif!

It'll be the first
time Picasso and

pizza ever shared the same roof.

Has Sock seen it
yet? No, I thought

you might like that pleasure.

Great, 'cause we're going there

tonight. Huh? Who's
picking you up?

[doorbell rings] Oh,
Dad, would you get the door?

It's Buzz Britton--

You know, the magic
man that was here

the night of the battle
of the Lawrences.

I'll never forget him.
Would you get it, please?

I d-- You answer the door.
I don't trust him.

Oh, come on, Daddy. He promised
not to steal any more clothes.

[chuckles]

Oh, hello, Buzz. Good
evening, Professor. How are you?

Nice to see you.
Hi, Buzz. I'm ready.

Well, let's go.
Okay. Bye, Dad.

Good-bye, dear.
Good night, Professor.

Nice seeing you.

Gidget.

Gidget!
