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

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.

I found a friend 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.

Nights are long, but you're not awake to a brand new life.

Brand new life. A brand new life around here.

Boy, being in high school is rough. How could we not get invited to that party?

Simple. Ellen Frommer only invites people on the A list.

Sometimes the B list.

What list are we on?

Julia, we're unlisted.

Well, I know how Susie Bellamy got in the in crowd.

Yeah, so do I.

What good did it do her? Now she's visiting an aunt in Europe.

Girl, I couldn't help but overhearing that you're having some popularity

problems. Yeah, we're dirt.

Well... You may not believe this, but I went through a similar stage myself.

No.

Yes. I was dying to be a part of the in crowd.

And so I just made a conscious decision to be more perky, get my personality out

there. And before I knew it, I was in the science club and the debating

Those are really. perky clubs.

Well, laugh if you will, but if Susie Bellamy had spent more time debating,

wouldn't be in Europe with her aunt.

Hello.

Anybody wants me tomorrow? I'll be at the mall from the hours of 11 to 5.

wonderful. You've got the job.

Did I miss him? I thought you already had a job. Well, I guess you could call

what I do here a job. I mean, hey, I cook, I clean, I wash, I iron, I dust, I

mop, I glow.

Like 10 .30, there's nothing left to do.

Sounds good to me.

Well, it's a little boring, Samantha. You know, I think they call it the

housewife blues.

I mean, how many Tupperware parties can I throw?

So, what's the job?

Oh, well, let me tell you. This guy was looking for somebody who could make a

difference. Somebody like creative and organizational skills.

Somebody who was willing to serve the community.

So, what's the job?

I'm working in a fast food joint.

It's not just a fast food joint. It's a theme restaurant.

That's right, that's right. This place is groovy. It's out of sight. It's mod.

Is it on the fourth floor of the mall?

Could be.

Is it where all the spectacular kids hang out?

I sure got some gold mine here, huh? Oh, yeah, yeah. And what a kitchen. I mean,

double oven, eight burners. You don't know what industrial appliances do to

I see you appreciate the finer things.

I like that on the manager. Glad to have you aboard. Glad to be aboard the

yellow sub, sir.

At ease.

Mr. Seller, you know what the key to success of this place is?

Good food?

No way.

It's the kids. The kids. They love to hang out. They love to eat.

They love to spend their parents' money.

Oh, good thinking, Miss Sally.

Listen, I got to go to a meeting to open up another franchise.

You're going to have to hire the new waitress. You can handle that.

Well, I've been studying waitresses for a while. All right.

All right, hey, have a good trip, boss. You bet.

Okay, kids, come on in.

Come on in, kids.

And pass those applications up front, please.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Let's see here.

Williams, Kathy.

Hi. Oh, hi, Kathy.

Sims, Ralph?

Yo, Ralph.

What's happening?

Michelle, Samantha?

That's funny, because I got a daughter by then. Hi, Dad.

Unfair advantage.

Samantha, can I have a word with you, please?

Yeah.

Samantha, what are you doing here?

Applying for a job. I have a ride. It's a free mall.

A free mall? I know that, but what do you need a job for?

Dad, it's time I became my own person. Became more independent.

and had more responsibility and knew the joy of getting a paycheck every week.

Okay, okay. Now what's the real reason?

Dad, this place is the key to my social life.

Oh, oh, that's what I thought. That's what I thought. Is she applying for the

job or not?

Please, please, please. Yes, yes, she's applying. Yes, we do not discriminate on

the basis of race, creed, or daughter.

Okay, let's see. Now, let me brief you about what it's going to be like to work

here at the Yellow Submarine, okay?

Now, I am not a tough boss, so it's going to be a very relaxed atmosphere.

Now, line up.

As you know, the Yellow Sub is a theme restaurant.

It's based on that famous song by the Beatles.

Who are they?

The Sims, right? Yeah, right. Yeah, good.

Okay.

Some rules and regulations I think you should know about.

When you're here, you have a job to do. So there'll be no socializing or making

dates with the customer.

Okay.

Let's see. I know there's basketball games on Friday nights. But Friday

a big night for us, too. And your first commitment is here.

He says out of control.

All right.

Now, I insist on clean hands, clean hair, and no gum chewing.

Hi, Dad.

Well, young lady, after looking through the applications, you seem to be the

most qualified and the most here.

Hi. I'll have a ham sandwich on pumpernickel with lettuce, tomato, and

mayonnaise. Okay.

Some french fries and chocolate milk.

Okay. Coming right up.

Slice a pig, pop it, oil it, and drag it through the garden. Slice a bun and a

chocolate moo juice.

Oh,

I just love this place.

It takes me back to the turbulent 60s, the protest movements, the sit -ins. I

remember burning my first bra.

It lit up the sky.

Sir? Oh, that's okay, Mom. I've heard that one before.

Hello.

And here you go.

You want a shovel for that, dear?

I didn't think it would be this big.

Come here with you. Get your own.

So, ladies, has our ace waitress taken good care of you? Oh, the service is

wonderful. So efficient, so professional.

So needed at table four. Gotta go.

Hey, peace, love, and rock and roll.

Oh, miss, could we have a little service here?

Hi, guys.

I just saw the captain of the football team. And the president of the student

body.

Isn't that Ellen Selmer?

You mean him? Oh, hi, Elle.

Just think, if a bomb hit this place, the world as we know it would end.

Popularity calls.

Samantha, when I hired you here, we agreed to some basic rules.

You cannot hang around with your buddies. But dads. No, but dads.

I am the manager. You are the waitress. This is strictly business.

Now give me a kiss and get back out there.

Oh, waitress.

Won't you take our money, please? Sure.

Oh, dear.

All I have is a ten, but what the heck. Keep the change.

Angela, the bill is $12 .95.

Oh.

Oh, dear.

Here's another ten. Keep the change from this.

Good. I'm going to be popular and rich.

All right. Well, ladies, ladies, thank you. Thank you for your patronage today.

Bring these babes back any time.

And we'll see you later tonight, Tony.

Yes, Mother and I have a little surprise for you.

Okay, I'll see you later.

It's been a long time since you surprised me, Leah.

If your mother looked like that, you'd get surprised all the time.

Pass me the ketchup. Hey, don't you gramps me, young fella.

Cool it, Leon.

Yeah, Leon, cool it.

Never mind, I'll get it myself.

Keep your hands off the table.

If you want it, ask for it right.

Say please.

Oh, Leon.

Please, please, please.

I better go break this up. Dad, do you know who that is?

Yeah, it's Leon.

No, no, Dad, please don't.

Oh, hey, hey, yo.

Let's go up the floor. Get back to your tables.

Who's going to make me?

I am.

Ooh, he's going to hurt me.

Teenage abuse, people.

Teenage abuse.

All right, all right, all right. I'll tell you what you do. You don't have to

back to your table. Just hit the road.

You throwing me out? Oh, the quick mind.

Come on, take it out of your arches. Let's go.

Come on, guys. This place is history.

Have you done? You cleared this place out.

How was I to know they travel in packs?

Boy, there goes my social life.

We might as well start eating chocolate and breaking out.

Who will notice?

Look, here comes someone now.

Oh, no. It's Mr. Taylor. Talk loud and try to look like a lot of people, okay?

Oh, Mr. Taylor.

What happened? Where are all my customers? The kids, they're all gone.

Oh, no, they're too right over there.

Yeah, but those aren't the cool ones.

Where's your father? I want to know what's going on here.

I'll tell you.

That manager of yours did a wonderful thing.

He kicked those kids out.

And look how much nicer this place is.

Oh, he kicked the kids out.

You betcha.

Back to you for a moment over here, Sam.

Look, Mr.

Teller, all my dad was trying to do... Oh, so you were a part of this, too?

No, no. Well, he's your father. Weren't you behind him? No.

In fact, I told him not... I mean, I projected that maybe he should... Ah,

that's what I thought.

All right, where's your father?

He's out getting supplies.

All right, I got to catch a plane to D .C. I tell you what.

Samantha? You're a bright, capable young lady. I just have a little favor to ask

you. Anything, Mr. Taylor.

All right. Samantha, fire your father.

What? Can your dad.

How can I do that? It's easy.

I fired mine.

No, I can't do that. Oh, sure you can.

Business is business. As soon as you get rid of your father, all the cool kids

will come back.

They will? Trust me. Look, this isn't personal. Either you fire your father or

you lose your job. All right? Okay.

How do you get this open?

No wonder I never learned how to cook.

Luckily, I've been watching Tony.

You did my part.

Now, Mother, you do the kneading.

I'd like to place an order to go.

Anything but meatloaf.

Okay, Angela. We'll bring home something great.

The restaurant?

No, it's not too busy.

How's Dad doing?

Well, he's kind of... Right here.

Dad, it's Angela.

Oh.

Hi, Angela. How you doing?

Good, good. And you got it in the bowl?

Ooh.

Yeah. Wow.

Hey, this manager thing is a mere bag of shells.

Hey, I do have a great support team.

Yeah, all right, well, look, we'll be home in about an hour. Okay, bye.

Okay, Samantha, let's get ready for tomorrow.

Because the key to this operation is being prepared.

I guess, but, you know, there's some things you just can't be prepared for.

Like what?

Those, I don't know, tidal waves, locusts, getting fired.

Getting fired?

Oh, honey, don't be so insecure. You're doing fine.

So far.

What are you talking about, so far? Hey, let me tell you something. As long as I

have a job here, you have a job here.

You know what, Dad? When I was just talking to Angela, I detected something

her voice. And it said, I sure wish Tony was here at such a big, empty house

without his smiling face and bell -like laughter.

Bell -like laughter?

You know how she talks. Come on, Sam. She's getting along fine. Are you

me? Hey, she cracked an egg.

Hey, I got to tell you, the fact that you're here worrying about Angela makes

so proud.

Samantha, you have a big heart.

Dad, you're fired.

Good morning, Tony.

Good morning, Angela.

Oh, fresh strangled orange juice.

My favorite.

Well, now that I only have one job, I try to do it well.

Look, Tony, I, of all people, understand the pain of rejection. You can't keep

these things bottled up.

How did she become such a cold -blooded, heartless career woman?

Well, she was responsible and maybe a little ambitious.

Ah -ha.

So that's where she gets it from.

Morning, Angela.

Hi, Dad. Good morning, Samantha.

Well, what will it be for our little working girl?

Hey, let's see. Let's see. Some pancakes, some cereal, some eggs

Arnold.

I'll get something at work. No, no, no, Sam. You have to have your breakfast.

Dad, it's okay. I'll manage.

Manage.

It's nice when people can manage.

Oh, look at the time.

I better get going. Yes, yes. We don't want you to be late. We wouldn't want

to get fired.

Bye.

You give them food, shelter, and love, and they turn on you.

Dad's really bent out of shape.

Well, Samantha, your father's a little hurt.

It wasn't my fault. I didn't fire him. The owner did. I just delivered the

message. So you really had no choice.

Well, I could have refused to do it. But what good would that have done? Then

we'd both be out of work and I wouldn't be going to Ellen Frommer's party.

Ellen Frommer? Oh, Elle. She's this really cool senior head cheerleader and

everything fully together.

I see.

Look, Angela, it was Dad who laid down the rule. Business is business. It was

nothing personal.

Well, it sounds like you have it all worked out.

Yes, I do.

Well, then there's really no problem, is there?

None.

Well, shouldn't you be off to work?

Glad you see it my way, Angela.

Bye.

Bye.

Hi, Sam.

Coming to this party tonight?

Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for anything.

You definitely got cool potential.

That's me.

You know, it feels good to be back in the old place again. No offense, Sam,

your old man is a major mood buster.

You just caught him on a bad day. He's really okay.

Yeah, he's okay.

Now that we got him fired.

You didn't get him fired. I got him fired.

You know, I kind of miss him. That funny way he talks.

Hey, oh, hey, oh, hey.

want him, get it right. It's A -O -O -A.

Who? Excuse me.

You know, kind of sounds like a dwarf. What's his name?

Sleepy or Dopey.

I'd say he was definitely Dopey.

Here you go.

Now you're really cool.

Shelly, those are customers. What are you doing?

Something I should have done yesterday.

I quit.

What?

It was an accident.

Let's get out of here, man. This place is bunk.

I'll pay the cleaning bill. It was an accident. That's all, fellas. Just an

accident.

Nobody moves.

Free fries all around.

Now the other one's back.

Samantha. Dad, what are you doing here?

Now look, I was thinking about this morning. I acted real jerky and I wanted

talk to you about it.

Look, I understand how hard it was for you to do what you did and...

And you were right to fire me and keep your own job. I don't blame you for it.

In fact, I'm proud of you. Because when a Maselli gets a job, a Maselli sticks

with it through thick and thin.

Dad, I just quit.

That's my girl.

Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?

To the party over at Sidney Brisker's house.

What happened to Ellen Fromer?

Angela, keep up with the news.

Frisker is in.

When will you learn?

Hey, where are you going?

To the Yellow Submarine. That's where the debating club hangs out now.

I am so proud of him.

Oh, yeah. He's getting perkier every day.

Well, looks like everything worked out. Except for poor Tony. He's going to have

all this time on his hands.

Oh, don't worry about Tony. He's very... resourceful.

I saw him looking at the want ad this morning. You did?

Mm -hmm. What? Excuse me, what? Oh, no.

Avon calling.

And have I got a blush on for you.
