There's a time for love and a time for living. Take a chance and face the wind.

Open road and a road that's hidden. A brand new life around the bend.

There were times I lost a dream or two.

Found a trail and at the end was you.

There's a path you take and a path not taken.

The choice is up to you, my friend.

Not so long, but you're might awake to a brand new life. A brand new life. A

brand new life. A brand new life. Romeo

and

Juliet.

Hey,

Tony. Hey,

what do you say, kid?

Tony, sometime when you're making cookies, can I invite Jenny over?

Oh, Jenny Wittner, huh?

That's pretty smart, you know, because the road to love is paved with chocolate

chips. Yeah.

So, can I? Anytime, buddy, anytime.

Come on in.

You work fast.

Hello, Jenny.

Hi, Mr. Rosselli.

Oh, Jonathan, what a gentleman. You going to pull out the chair for the

Oh, yeah.

Here, Jenny, take a seat. Thank you, Jonathan.

Jonathan, who'd think you'd have to cut the little lady's head off for you?

Sorry.

Can I offer you a cookie?

And a nice glass of milk to wash it down with.

Oh, Mr. Masali, these are divine.

Oh, well, what can I say? You know, before he knew me, Amos wasn't famous.

Where are you going?

Well, I'm going to give you a little time to get to know each other, right?

Yeah, alone.

Oh, come on, come on, come on. Take it easy, huh? Be a cool dude in a loose

mood. So,

Jenny, a cool dude like me, a loose girl like you?

Wouldn't you rather do your homework up in your room where you have a nice desk

and a chair?

That's so uncomfortable.

Tony, do I smell walnut chocolate chip cookies?

You know, you're the only person I know who can smell walnuts.

No, no, no.

It's off limits.

What do you mean?

Jonathan and Jenny are having, like, a romantic snack.

Oh, that's a darling. My little boy.

The first stirrings of puppy love.

Hope they don't eat all the cookies.

I saved you some.

Thank you. Okay.

Oh, hey, Mona. How was obedience school?

Terrific. Grover's at the top of his class. Watch.

Heel.

Good boy.

Does he know his shoes or what?

Hi,

Mom. Hi. Can I go to the movies next Saturday? Well, sure.

Can I have enough money for two?

For two?

Way to go, Jonathan.

Hooray!

You're taking Jenny to the movies?

Stand back. I hear a gusher coming. Oh, sweetheart!

It's your first date!

Now she blows.

You are growing up so fast. It seems like only yesterday you were eating

carrots and I was changing your diapers.

Oh, gross.

Pretty soon you're going to be going off to college, getting married.

Starting families. Take it easy, Angela. I'm pretty sure you have the kid in a

rest home.

Tony, before I go out on a date, could you just tell me one thing?

Anything.

How do I ask her?

Hmm. Well, I'm going to tell you what my dad told me.

A woman likes a man who respects her. All right? He says what's on his mind,

he's open and direct.

And if that doesn't work, beg.

You knew my father? Yes.

you two are taking this so lightly, but your first date is a very serious

matter. I want this to go right.

Now, asking girls out.

Let's outline this.

Number one, when you are planning a date, always make sure to give the lady

couple of choices. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, A, she's going, and B, she ain't.

What, are you kidding me?

Take it easy, please. You're going to make the kid up tight. I am not.

I'm just trying to build up his confidence. I mean, if he gets rejected,

emotional scars could last the rest of his life.

Thanks a lot, Mom.

She's good. You're good.

Jenny, I believe in being open and direct.

So, A, do you want to go to the movie Saturday? Or B, do you want to forget

whole thing?

Well, let me see.

Saturday the 12th, 8 o 'clock breakfast, 8 .30 cartoons. Yes, I'm

free.

Gee, I told you he wouldn't be on the couch.

For once.

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody home?

Hello?

Guess they're not back from the movies yet.

Oh, Jonathan was so nervous when he left for the day.

Well, I don't wonder. You were ironing his pants on the way out the door.

The date is going well. Oh, don't worry.

He has Tony with him. He'll show him the ropes. Yeah, I know.

I'm so glad Jonathan has a man like Tony to talk to at a time like this.

After all, that's why I brought Tony here.

Who brought him here?

Well, you found him, but I hired him.

But I had the vision and the foresight to know how well he would work with my

grandson and how capable he would be in every other way.

And how great he'd look with his shirt off.

Oh, what do you say? We're back. Hey. Hi. Hi.

How was the attack of the laser lizards? We saw Sleeping Beauty.

Jonathan saw Sleeping Beauty.

It was Jenny's choice.

We cope, huh? Oh.

Oh, yes. It's very romantic when a young girl finds her Prince Charming. Yeah.

Mr. Maselli let me ride in the front seat of the car.

I rode him back.

Jonathan, you're interrupting.

Then when we got there, Mr. Maselli bought me some goobers. I got popcorn.

Sounds like you all had a wonderful time.

Oh, yeah, it was a biggie. You know, I never thought that princess was going to

wake up.

Hey, look, I got to go because I don't think I can stand any more excitement.

Guess

you

don't need me hanging around here.

I guess I'll just go somewhere else.

Is your mom okay?

Yeah, that's the way she is.

What do you want to do now, Jenny?

I don't know.

You want to play with my reptile collection?

I've got a new South American tree lizard.

I'm thinking of branching off into primates, but I haven't asked my mom

Jenny?

Let me defog you.

Boy,

you can do anything.

Yeah, you know, but I'm a little weak on nuclear physics.

Where's Jonathan?

Playing with his lizards. Uh -huh.

Johnny, where'd you go?

Into the kitchen.

Oh, right. Well, do you want to play with my lizards? No, I have to go.

Thanks a lot, Jonathan.

And you too, Mr. Maselli. I had a wonderful time.

I'll remember this day for the rest of the week.

How am I doing, Tony?

I really want her to like me. Well, I tell you what. Why don't you walk her to

the end of the driveway?

Show her you really care.

Yeah! Tony, you've got great ideas.

If you think these are good, wait till you're 11.

I love that little kid.

Tony! Tony!

How's my little Casanova doing?

Fine, thanks.

You mean Jonathan? Yeah. He's outside right now. He's doing good.

He's out there right now?

Yeah, yeah. Why? What are you going to do? You want to spy on them? Uh -huh.

Don't hog the window.

Oh, they're so cute.

Look at that kid's swagger.

Yeah, we're going to pick up something like that.

Chip off the old housekeeper.

Oh, he's going to kiss her.

Nope, he missed.

I know where he got that from.

I really blew it.

Sweetheart, what's wrong?

I think I struck out. I tried to kiss Jenny, but she didn't kiss me back.

Oh, honey, I just think your timing was a little off.

Yeah, next time try kissing her when she's facing you.

I don't know if there's going to be a next time.

I don't even know if she likes me. Oh, sure she does.

Well, she hardly talks to me at the movie.

Jonathan, it's a movie. You're not supposed to talk. And anyway, didn't I

her whisper something in your ear?

She asked me to chew with my mouth closed.

Honey, I know she likes you.

Sometimes girls are just a little shy, but she'll find a way to let you know

she feels.

Bingo, bingo.

She left her organizer here.

So?

This is just like a woman. She left this here so you could bring it back to her.

Really? Sure. Are you kidding me? This happens to me all the time. Although

usually with me, it's an article.

Never mind, Jonathan.

Tony's right.

I bet he's over there waiting for you right now.

Yeah. Here you go, buddy. Go over there and get it.

Tony, how could you do this to me?

I hate you. I wish you were dead.

Jonathan. Jonathan, I didn't do it.

Jenny loves Tony.

I never should have bought her them goopers.

I know you're upset, but this is not Tony's fault.

You know, sometimes little girls get crushes on older men.

Did you? As a matter of fact, when I was a little girl, I was madly in love with

Dr. Kildare.

And Ben Casey.

And Roy Rogers.

Little Joe Cartwright.

President Kennedy.

Howdy Doody.

Mom, he's a puppet.

Well, I know, but he was cute.

Anyway.

The point is that sometimes people think they're in love, and it's really just a

crush.

But when you have real love between friends like you and Tony, you don't

throw that away.

You understand what I'm saying?

Yeah, and I never want to see him again.

Jonathan, Tony is a part of our family.

Yeah, well, either he goes or I go.

Sam?

Yeah?

Have you ever been in love?

Oh, sure.

Thousands of times.

It only happened to me once.

But it's over.

Oh, with Jenny?

Oh, she's so cute and so nice.

She went for another guy.

Dump her, she's trash.

Who is this creep anyway?

size. Oh, no, I wouldn't, Jonathan. He stole your girl.

Well, I just wish I could beat him up, but he's bigger than me.

Want me to beat him up? No.

He's bigger than you, too.

That doesn't matter.

It's not size.

It's smart.

Haven't you ever heard of David and Goliath?

Sounds familiar.

Do they go to your school?

was this big bully.

And David was this puny little runk guy.

Kind of like you.

I think he was semi -popular.

What happened?

Well, Goliath was picking on all of David's friends. And David got sick of

And David was too small to beat up on him. So David got a slingshot and bam,

right between the eyes.

Wow. After that, David got really popular and he started dating the head

cheerleader.

That's Sheba.

Ah, now this smells good, huh?

Sort of bring that kid running.

Five, four, three, two, one.

banana bread?

You say just banana bread. It's bait.

I'm trying to lure Jonathan back to the house.

Well, it worked for me, but it's not working for Jonathan.

He just went back into his tent and dropped his flap.

I've never seen him like this. I don't know what to do.

Well, I don't know about you, Tony, but a little banana bread always helps me to

put things in perspective.

I'm sorry, Mona. Of course.

Aren't you going to have some?

Nah.

I'm not hungry.

I just feel terrible.

I feel like I wrecked that kid's whole life.

Oh, Tony.

You didn't wreck his whole life.

Just his childhood.

You know, Mona, all my life it's been this way.

I get close to a guy and his woman falls for me.

And then I lose a friend.

Well, Well, it's understandable.

I mean, you're an attractive guy with a great personality and a body that won't

quit.

It's tough, I know.

I have the same problem.

You have trouble keeping girlfriends?

Yeah, but who needs them?

Well, Jonathan's one friend that I need.

Well, then what are you doing sitting in here stuffing your face with banana

bread? Get out there and patch things up.

Jonathan?

Jonathan?

Behind you, Miss Ellie.

Jonathan, don't do that.

Gotcha.

Bam. Right between the eyes.

Guess I showed you. Hi, Tony.

Tony?

Come on, Tony. I was just trying to scare you.

Bad dream.

Oh, Tony, you're not dead.

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

Oh, so then you're not mad at me anymore.

Oh, yeah, I forgot I'm mad.

What I mean is I want to be mad at you, but I can't.

Look, Jonathan, I'm sorry things didn't work out with Jenny. I know.

Tony, you're the best friend I've got, and I'm never going to kill you again.

That's aces with me.

All right, come here. Sit down. I want to tell you something.

You know, we did something terrible.

We let a girl come between us.

Oh, yeah.

I don't want to have anything to do with girls again.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I felt that way myself many times, many times, but I

got over it.

With the help of Trixie D 'Amato.

And someday you'll find your Trixie, too.

No rush.

Give me some skin.

All right.

I'll tell you what we're going to do. Tonight we're going to stay out here all

night, just guys roughing it.

All right. And we won't have to take a bath or anything.

No bath.

Oh, you made up.

I knew that you would.

It's so sweet.

It reminds me of that time. that Kathy Winthrop and I had this terrible,

terrible fight.

Good night, Johnny.

Good night, Jonathan.

Mother, do you remember...

are singing the great outdoors.

Hello. Hello there. How did you sleep?

Like this.

Oh, I hope Jonathan slept better than me.

He certainly did. He came upstairs around 10 o 'clock and I tucked him into

bed. Or posing comfortably.

Is that... I slept out here for nothing?

Oh, no. Think of it as an adventure. And in that spirit, I've brought you a

hearty pioneer breakfast.

Quiche, croissant, and cafe au lait.

Pioneers? Okay, French pioneers.
