All language subtitles for Whos The Boss s04e05 New Kid In Town

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

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

There were times I lost a dream or two.

And found a trail.

And at the end was you.

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

Choice is up to you, my friend.

Not so long, but you're not awake to a
brand new life, brand new life, a brand

new life around the bend.

Stick your head in the oven, Penny.

Boy, tough room.

Oh, Dad, I know you're just trying to
cheer me up, but I really do not care

about that stupid dance tonight.

Or the fact that it's the major social
event of the century.

Or that I'm the only girl in the 10th
grade that isn't going.

Oh, wait a minute.

What about that girl with the mustache?

She's going.

Ah!

All right, Sam, you know what I gotta
do, then?

I'm gonna make you a favorite dish. I'm
gonna make you some sausage and peppers.

No, thanks, Dad. I'm not really hungry.
Oh, you say that now, but when I start

cooking one with your mind... Hey, Sam,
what do you say we go to the movies,

we'll gorge ourselves on popcorn, and go
look for cute guys?

Oh. Just look.

No, thanks, Sam. I think I'm just gonna
study.

Study on a Saturday night? Come on,
you'll just forget it by Monday.

Will you stop? I'm really okay. I don't
need a special dinner or a movie or

anything. Hey, Sam!

You want to go dig for worms?

Worms? How low have I sunk?

Hey, it always cheers me up, especially
when I get one of those big, fat, slimy

ones. Yeah,

sure it does, pal. Sure it does.

He needs some human friends.

Hi, welcome to the produce section.

Oh, thanks. It's good to be here.

Excuse me.

Sorry, I was just centering myself. It
helps you focus your energy and attain

harmony with the universe.

And vegetables.

Ah, well, I've always yearned to be at
one with a rutabaga.

Oh, there they are.

Oh, uh, you don't want that.

I don't?

No, it's from Sunny Spring Farms.

So? Well, they're owned by Demco, which
gets paperclips from Fryer, which makes

drill bits using diamonds from South
Africa.

So... Unless you support apartheid, you
should only buy the peppers from New

Jersey. Oh, that's so funny.

I'll take four of the jerseys. Oh, we're
out of them.

Hey, sausage and peppers used to be so
easy.

Hey, didn't I see your picture in the
paper, President of the Parents

Association? That's me.

Yeah, you're setting up after -school
activities for Lasky kids.

Well, no more than any great president
might do.

Yeah, that sounds like a super project.

Hey, you know, I could teach a class in
yoga.

Hey, that's a good idea.

I'll tell you what, you're on. All
right.

It will be an honor to work with a man
like you.

A man of vision.

A man of compassion.

A man who would never buy a pepper from
Sunny Spring Farms.

Hey, you really hang in there, don't
you, kid?

I recommend the parsnip. It's a very
misunderstood vegetable.

A kid with a conscience. I like that. I
like that.

Well, produce calls.

Okay.

Hey, I guess between work and school and
all your causes, you haven't got time

for things like going to a dance?

I don't know. I've got plenty of time,
but we just moved here. I really don't

know any girls.

I know one.

Can't believe I finally got a date with
Bill Weston.

You think I sounded too desperate
accepting at the last minute?

Oh, no, you played it cool. You
hesitated for a full two seconds.

There you go. Ten little toes all aglow
with Riviera Red.

Riviera Red?

I'm using Crimson Sunset.

Wait, I clash.

Well, there goes our kit match. Right,
Blanche.

Oh, what would have been a great accent
with that dress is my gold necklace.

Too bad I lost it.

Maybe you didn't look in the right
places.

Mother. Try my jewelry box. Mother.

And don't you dare touch those jade
earrings you lost.

Well, I am off to the lanes.

I just love bowling with Jerry. His mind
is always in the gutter.

Hey, Sam, maybe you should cut down on
your sugar intake.

Dad, I'm just drying my nails.

Oh, okay, good. Come on, come on, I want
to show you something.

Oh, this better be good.

Oh, it is, it is.

Nice walk.

So what is it?

Well, it's just something I picked up at
the market.

All right.

Jesse, this is my daughter, Samantha.
Samantha, this is Jesse Nash, champion

the downtrodden. Hi, it's nice to meet
you.

Hi.

Did you know your nails are two
different colors?

It's a fashion statement.

I'm a bold one at that.

You know, Jesse is new in the
neighborhood, and he's not too short,

He's not too tall. Jesse, how do you
feel about disco?

Yuck. Yuck, Sam.

I can't believe this.

Is there some place I can clean up?
Those vegetables are loaded with

Oh, sure, sure. Look, it's through the
living room and under the stairs. You're

going to love it because the soap is
environmentally sound.

All right, Sam, I know what you're going
to say. I shouldn't be interfering, and

I shouldn't be trying to fix you up, but
this is a great kid.

Well, he does have nice eyes.

You mean you're not sore?

No way.

Your taste is definitely improving.

All right, all right.

Hey, now you've got a date for the
dance.

Yeah, but it's not with Jesse. Bill
Weston just called and he invited me.

You know, Sam, if I'm going to meddle in
your life, I'd better carry a beeper.

All right, well, I guess I'll go out
there and tell him. You never know,

Maybe Jesse and I will go out some other
time.

I mean, when you drive a car, you could
always use a spare.

Just remember, you don't even have a
learner's permit.

Jesse, here's the thing. A funny thing
happened on the way to the market. Sam

got a date.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't?

It's just a dance. It's not like it's an
anti -nuke rally.

Well, anyway, look, the invitation for
dinner still stands.

I mean, if you're up for sausage and
parsnips. Yeah, sounds great. Okay.

Parsnips?

Yeah, well, we were going to have
peppers, but they were major global

ramifications.

I really like your father.

I'm going to be helping him with his
latchkey project.

Oh, really?

Well, I think it's important for kids to
get involved and not be so wrapped up

in themselves.

Oh, yeah. I couldn't agree with you
more.

So, what are you going to do?

About what?

Your father's project. Aren't you going
to teach a class or something?

No. I mean, I never really... Come on,
Sam.

If you want to change the world, you got
to roll up your sleeves and pitch in.

I happen to like the world.

Anyway, I'm quite... busy right now
with, you know, my courses, homework,

shopping.

Angela, Angela, Angela, don't go in
there.

Why not?

Sam's in there talking to a boy that I
brought home from the market.

What was it? Double coupon day?

No. The kid happens to work there. And
he's a great kid, Angela. I mean, he's

aware. He's bright. He's funny. That kid
is obnoxious.

So I forgot one.

I love washing dishes.

It's so zen.

Oh, yeah.

Bill Weston, fashion consultant.

Meet Jesse Nash, produce consultant.

Jesse's an old friend of the family.

We go back hours, huh?

Hey, look, I'm going to go look for that
camera. So think cheese.

So, where's this dance?

At the Longridge Country Club.

The Longridge?

Oh, no, what a bummer. You guys can't
go.

What are you talking about?

Well, you see, there's this bird called
the piping plover, and it lives in the

field right next to the country club.

And they want to fill in the whole area
and build tennis courts, which means the

plover will be wiped out.

And I'm sure that's not what you want.

Of course not, but it's just a dance.
What's it going to prove if we don't go?

That you care about the plover.

I've never even seen a plover.

Well, that's too bad.

They're cute little guys.

Picture a large potato with feet.

And they have this great call.

People.

People. People.

Beautiful, huh?

Dad!

It's not just the plover. I mean, all
living things are connected.

You destroy one, and before you know it,
you have a totally barren and lifeless

planet. I'm talking no plants, no
animals, no malls.

Dad!

Look, Jessie, I feel really bad for the
little guys, but why don't they just

move? Well, it's not that simple.

Why not?

Well, because.

Because what if one of the babies gets
left behind?

He wanders around.

Lost and alone.

Nightfall. He's cold. He's hungry.

He tries to fly, but his little wings
are too weak.

He staggers out on the highway.

A big semi -thunder is towards him. But
the baby plover is too scared to move.

All he can do is stand there and cry for
his mother.

Mama!

Mama!

Mama! Stop!

Stop! That's horrible!

Sam, we can't go to the dance.

Sam, it's just a dance. No, it isn't
just a dance. It's at the country club

all my friends are going to be there.

Sam, aren't we being just a little bit
shallow here?

Get out of my living room.

So are you going to take me or not?

I'm sorry, but I just can't do that to
the plover.

How about a movie?

Good night, Bill.

See ya.

You're doing the right thing.

Doesn't it feel good?

Okay, kids, I'm all ready. Here I come.

Okay, come on. Big smile now. Big smile.

Sam, you're not smiling, Sam.

And you're not Bill.

No, he went to the movies.

Oh, well, what a shame.

But isn't it great we got a spare, Sam?

Now you two can go to the dance
together.

I would, but you see there's this bird
called the piping plover. Will you give

it a rest?

I don't want to hear another peep -lo
out of you.

Dad, you brought him home. You like him
so much.

You go with him.

I don't have a thing to wear.

Oh, uh, good morning, Sam.

Can I make you some breakfast?

No, thanks. Just wanted to do that. Oh,
come on. Let me make you some eggs.

What? And break up a family?

Come on, Sam. Now, don't take this so
hard. It was just one dance.

And a lifetime of humiliation.

Dad, I got dumped for a bird.

Yeah, but it was a rare bird.

Yeah.

Oh, hi, Bonnie. Hi, Mr. and Miss Sally.

Bonnie, what are you doing here? I came
to see how you're doing.

What?

Yeah.

See, he meant to go to the Longview, not
the Longridge.

Isn't that hysterical?

No.

Hey, Bonnie, maybe you should leave
before the white dots kick back in.

But wait, it gets better. He put down
his sign and came in. He's a great

His name's Jesse.

You'd love him.

Well, feel better.

Bye.

Bye, Bonnie.

I'm gonna kill him. Now, Sam. You're
right, you're right.

That means I'd have to see him again.

I'm gonna go for a walk.

Okay, sweethearts.

Dad. Yeah?

Do you think I'm shallow?

What? When did you ever get an idea like
that?

I don't know. I was just wondering. So
do you?

Of course not. No.

Why not?

Well, for one thing, a shallow person
wouldn't wonder if she was shallow or

I mean, sure, you spend a lot of time on
the phone talking to your friends, and

a lot of time at the mall buying
clothes, and a lot of time in the

combing your hair, but that's not being
shallow.

Then what is it?

It's called being 15.

Guess who's here?

We see, Angela. It's you.

I'm not here in the living room. Sam,
Jesse's here to see you.

Tell him I'm out buying a fur coat.

Better yet, I'll tell him myself.

Now, now, wait a minute, Sam.

Look, don't blame me for being mad at
Jesse. I know he gets carried away

sometimes, but, hey, deep down, he's a
good kid.

So could you do me a favor and try to be
nice to him?

Dad, you're really asking a lot. Oh,
hey, I'm not talking about best friends

here. Say hi, how are you, bye, that
kind of thing, you know.

Hi.

Hi. How are you? Great. Bye.

Hey.

Sam.

I feel real bad about what happened last
night.

You'll get over it.

You want to try some yoga?

No, thanks.

What? Afraid you'll look silly?

No, I am not afraid that I will look
silly.

I know why you don't like me.

Well, that doesn't exactly take a
genius, now does it?

You insulted me, you ruined my date, and
you talked my father into making

parsnips. No, that's not why.

you'd be back.

Okay.

Why do you think that I don't like you?

Because you're afraid I may be right.

Maybe you are shallow.

Oh, that is really rich.

Do you know what your problem is?

I'm ahead of my time.

Oh, you wish.

You don't know anything about people. I
just think they should face up to the

truth and be themselves.

Right. Just as long as they're exactly
like you.

That's really good.

What are you talking about?

Well, you just gave me a new insight to
myself.

It's very perceptive.

I must be rubbing off on you.

Lucky me.

So, does that mean you're going to stop
putting me down?

I'm not sure.

Great.

Sam, do you know why I'm so hard on you?

Because you're a jerk?

No, because I can see your potential.

You're your father's daughter.

Keep going.

Well, Tony's a great guy.

He's warm, he's caring, smart, and there
is not a phony bone in his body.

And I can see all those things in you.

You can?

Yeah, deep down, under all those trendy
clothes.

Really? Really.

So, uh, is that yoga stuff hard to
learn?

Nah, just follow me.

Boy, you're really graceful.

I took ballet.

It's a little bit closer.

See, I told you it was easy.

I bet it'll take some practice.

Lots.

You told me to be nice to him.

I knew that kid was trouble the minute

I laid eyes on him.

Jesse, I thought you were crazy about
him.

I just caught them kidding.

And you didn't throw him out?

No.

Angela, what's happening?

Well, looks like you and Sam are growing
up.

I remember my first real kiss.

I was so...

Oh, Mother, I was so nervous, I lost
control of my lips and I ended up French

kissing his nose.

You never told me that. You promised
you're not going to tell anybody.

Hey, did I tell how you broke Bobby
Brookner's toe doing the mashed potato?

Yeah.

Well, everybody knew anyway.

He walks with a limp to this day.

Okay, okay. I promise, I promise I will
not tell anyone about your nose kiss.
