All language subtitles for punky_brewster_s03e17_so_long_studio

Maybe the world is blind or just a
little

unkind.

Don't know.

Seems you can't be sure of anything
anymore.

Although.

I'm old.

You know how that feels.

Come, Mrs. Dempsey.

You look great.

You still got it?

Yeah, I got it. Just forgot how to use
it.

That'll be $7 .50.

Oh, Henry, my Social Security check
doesn't come until Tuesday. I'm sorry.

You're a good customer. Pay me when the
government pays. Thank you, Henry.

My pleasure.

My family's going to love these blow
-ups of my kidney stones.

Get that away!

If I'm going to keep up with these
girls, I better get a skateboard, too.

Don't I have a weight limit on those?

Thanks for the insult.

don't feel so bad giving you this bill.
What bill?

$189.

Yeah, my board was $70 and then there
were the pads. I knew you'd want me to

protect my elbows and knees.

What's going to protect my what?

And then there's these cool helmets and
these cool socks.

What's the other $70?

Oh, that was for Brandon's skateboard.

you a skateboard, I figured $15 to $20.

You should get out more.

I'll write you a check.

But I'd appreciate it if you'd hold it
for three days.

Well, what do I look like, a bank?

Only in square footage.

Just not smart to make fun of people you
owe money to.

I'll close up and meet you people at the
car.

Are you the owner? I am.

Henry Warnemont. I'm Matt Glossy.

The Matt Glossy of glossies? In the
flash.

I read that newspaper article about your
chain of photography stores.

Quite a little success story.

Well, if you call 40 million a little
success, and that's after taxes.

I've often wondered about your...
Photographic name?

Matt Glossy? Well, that isn't actually
my name. I was born Sam

Glossy.

So, you've come to check out the
competition, eh? I have no competition.

I'm here to make you rich.

Well, well.

May I offer you a chair, a cup of
coffee, my firstborn?

A sense of humor. I like that. The point
is, this mall is a primo location for

me to open a new Glossies.

Oh? And I feel honor -bound to tell you
that with my processing centers and

greater volume, I could flush your
business right down the old developing

Oh?

But first and foremost, I am a man who
believes in fair play, and, well, I

wouldn't move in here without making you
an offer.

Oh, what kind of an offer?

To buy you out.

Sell my studio?

No, no.

I'm just not interested.

Don't be too hasty.

I'd like you to stay on as manager at a
generous salary.

I don't think so. I'm used to being in
charge.

Well, you'd be doing the same job as
you're doing now, minus the headaches

the liabilities.

This studio is like part of my family. I
couldn't sell it.

I'm offering you $100 ,000 cash.

I can't argue. It is a big step.

I have always been my own boss.

But with $100 ,000, we'd never have to
share tea bags.

Hi, Henry. Still thinking about selling
the studio?

It's very tempting.

There are lots of good reasons.

Less responsibility, less pressure, more
free time.

Sounds great. What are the bad reasons?

Wouldn't be my studio anymore.

But Mr. Glossy says you can still run
the place.

Yes. There's a big difference between
manager and owner.

Yeah.

$100 ,000.

$100 ,000.

We sure could take some great trips.

I wouldn't have to worry about your
college education.

If Randy could get the work done he
needs at the doggy diner.

It sure is a tough decision, Henry.

Yes, it is.

And it shouldn't be based solely on the
money.

Nope. There are lots of other
considerations.

Yep.

$100 ,000.

$100 ,000.

Hunky, I can't do it.

I'm just too attached to that studio.

I understand, Henry. And I want you to
know, you're right.

$100 ,000.

I'm selling.

The photos are ready, Henry. You better
hustle.

Henry, I noticed that your sleeves are
rolled up.

They should be down. Didn't you read the
manager's manual?

Reading it is easy.

Lifting is the hard part.

It's not funny, Henry.

You know, I noticed that my portrait
area has disappeared and you filled the

place with sales racks.

Well, naturally.

That's where the money is.

Merchandising. Any jerk can take a
picture.

Thank you.

But it takes real talent to be able to
sell one of these

genuine vinyl underwater shark -proof
camera cases.

It's good down to 40 fathoms. You want
to buy one? You look like a snorkeler.

I'll think about it.

Hi, Henry.

Hi, sweetheart.

How was school today?

Oh, it's okay.

Mrs. Winston was mad at me. Henry, kiss
your kid goodbye. There's a customer

waiting.

Sorry,

Patrick. I'll be right back.

Henry.

The hat.

I can't.

It's the rule, Henry.

To tell you the truth, I feel a little
silly wearing the glossy hat.

I think I'd do a better job just being
the mature, dignified businessman that I

am. Henry, let me put this in terms that
a mature, dignified businessman can

understand.

Wear the hat or you're fired.

to glossies.

Smile.

Maybe it's because I've never been
someone's employee before.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks.

The tea was his idea.

I'll take over from here, Brandon. Your
eyes are glazing over.

Henry, I know Glossies is losing its
shine.

Go ahead, let it all hang out.

I'm miserable.

Four weeks of ever -increasing
humiliation.

Here I am.

At the zenith of my life.

Cow -tying to a pompous pinhead who's
half my age and just treats me as if I

were dispensable.

You're not dispensable.

He just doesn't need you.

Why don't you quit?

I can't do that.

It's difficult for a man my age to
suddenly go out and find a job.

Not many men looking for people at their
zenith, huh?

Not exactly a run -on.

What if we took the 100 ,000 smackaroos
and bought a new studio?

Remember the contract I signed?

Yeah.

Page 103 says I can't open a competing
studio.

Forever? No. Just for the next 75 years.

You'll probably be too old then.

Probably.

I'll just have to get used to working
for Genghis Glossy.

Well, remember, Henry, just because he's
the boss doesn't mean you have to eat

dirt.

I'll bear it in mind.

And just because he owned you doesn't
mean you have to lick his boot.

Thanks for the pep talk.

And just because he's a kingfish doesn't
mean you're sea slime.

Please, I can't take any more pep talk.

your pictures.

Thanks. Here's my check.

May I see some identification?

Henry, it's only been two hours since
I've seen you.

You couldn't have gone thing now that
fast.

I'm sorry, Betty, but the manager's
manual clearly states that a driver's

license and two credit cards are
required.

Of all the stupid...

You'd be ashamed, knowing your 10 years,
you old coot.

Thank you, ma 'am.

I'm surprised you didn't ask for my
fingerprints.

They're on the check.

Hi, Lenny. How's it going? I'm very busy
right now.

This is our chance.

While they're busy, worry up and look at
the hunt of the month calendar.

Thank you for your patience.

Nice hat. Gives you height.

I hate it. I don't blame you.

Well, here are your pictures.

Nice clear shot of your appendix scar.

Unfortunately, the quack who operated on
me took my last dime.

Can you carry me till Tuesday?

Oh, now I remember. Dempsey, the
deadbeat man. For some unclear reason,

extended credit and have an overdue
bill. With interest, you owe me...

$12 .47.

Mrs. Dempsey has been my customer for 20
years. I do not charge her interest.

Here, they're on the house.

Thank you, Henry. It's a pleasure to do
business with you.

When I have my tummy tucked, you'll
develop the pictures.

And you, you meatball, you should
develop an itch in a place that's hard

scratch.

I am deducting the $12 .47 from your
paycheck, and I never want to see that

woman in my store again.

She's welcome any time as long as I'm
the manager. Oh, well, that won't be for

long. If you keep this up, let's not
forget who's in charge here.

Glossy.

As a wise young lady told me, just
because you're the boss does not mean I

to eat dirt.

Oh.

And just because you own me... does not
mean I have to lick your boots.

Really? And just because you're the
kingfish does not mean that I am

sea slime.

What? You heard me.

Watch it, Henry!

Don't make me exercise page 412 of the
manager's manual.

You cannot have me deported.

I can prove I was born in this country.

I don't like you. I don't like you or
the way you do business.

You're a dinosaur.

You're a vulture.

You're fired.

Too late.

needed that job desperately.

I wasn't willing to roll over and play
dead.

You can understand that.

The night shift has arrived. Unless
you'd rather talk to Brandon.

Nah, his mind wanders.

Henry, I was proud of you today. You're
real gutsy with glossy.

No, I was stupid. I needed that job.

rich remember can't you start a new
business i've been

a photographer for 43 years that's all i
know besides you

have no idea how risky it is to start a
new business henry henry

henry life is risky

Adopting each other was risky, but it
paid off.

I can't argue with that.

What kind of business did you have in
mind?

I don't know.

It should be something different.

Something fun.

Something out of this world.

blaze he couldn't handle.

I must say, Mr. Warnemont, I'm
impressed.

I might even be willing to be seen here.

Well, I hope you're not the only one
who's willing to be seen in here. I

every dime I got from Glossy into this
place.

Don't worry, Henry. I put flyers all
over town. We'll be swimming in

But we've been open for over 48 seconds
and the place is empty.

to help you. Bring a little business.

Thank you, Mrs.

Dempsey.

Ladies, please be seated. Oh, sure. Over
here, please. Come on.

On the double.

Who's deal?

Because when it comes down to it, you
were the one who encouraged me to take

risk to open a new business.

So you deserve to have it named after
you.

Thanks, Henry.

Besides, the sign painter charges by the
letter.

And Punky's place is a lot cheaper than
Warren Mont's world of weenies.
