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

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.

Okay,

okay. Which one is screaming, I'm looking for a good time?

Angela. The last time one of your dresses had a good time was when it

against Tony's suit at the cleaners.

Wear the red one. It's sexier.

I'll wear the blue. I don't want to give Duane any ideas.

Duane? Duane Mandello?

That client who looks like a middle -aged Howdy Doody?

I'm sorry for him. He's so awkward with women. Oh, do you know what happened at

the last sales meeting we went to? Let me guess.

Buffalo Bob said, come back here with that dummy.

No, he got this strange sort of sneer on his lips, and he tried to kiss me.

Forget the dress. Wear garlic.

You guys are not going to believe this.

Today, my guidance counselor said that my PSATs are so good that I qualify for

the ASP.

That's wonderful.

Oh, you must have had terrific NMSQTs. And a great GPA.

This is giving me PMS.

Would you please talk in words?

My grades and my test scores are high enough to qualify for the Accelerated

Scholastic Program. That is so terrific. Do you know only the best and brightest

students are asked to join? I was in it.

Do you want to hear the best part?

I get to graduate from high school a year early.

Uh -oh.

You know how your father feels about you growing up too fast. Or at all.

You're never going to believe what happened to me today. I'm in the men's

at school, right? When all of a sudden six giant guys come bursting in. They're

all wearing dark shades and carrying walkie -talkies, right? And then... And

then he came in. As big as life.

Standing as close as I am to you.

Who? The heavyweight champion of the world.

You met Iron Mike Tyson?

Oh, met him, Mona, met him. Are you kidding? We stood shoulder to shoulder.

You know what? He may very well be a lefty.

And then he spoke to me.

Well, what did he say? He said, wear the paper towel.

Dad,

I've got great news.

What, honey?

I was accepted into the accelerated scholastic program at school.

Oh, honey, that is... You know, sweetheart, every time I think that

me as proud as I possibly can be, you go out and do something that makes me even

prouder. Oh, sweetheart, I'm so... And I get to graduate from high school a year

early.

A year?

A year?

You're saying a year?

Yes, Dad, a year.

A year?

A year? Do you know what that means?

It means she's going to graduate a year early.

Remember when my grades weren't so good and you gave me this pep talk saying

that if I tried my hardest, I could be smarter than even the smart kids?

Yeah, yeah. Well, I've done it.

I'm officially smart.

Oh, well, I guess you have, huh?

Hey, not for nothing, you know, apple trees make apples, you know.

I don't mean to brag, but I did skip the second grade.

You never told me that. Well, it all evened out when I spent two years in a

tent, you know.

So it's settled? You're okay with me graduating from high school a year

Well, it's kind of a, you know, a new concept, but it's growing on me. It's

growing, it's growing.

It's here.

Okay, sweetheart, I'm with you all the way, and hey.

I am officially proud of you.

Oh, hiya, guy. You know, I'm never gonna... French class is driving me

All these words, I'll never learn them with the... Not to mention the...

And don't forget everybody's favorite...

My mouth just wasn't made for French.

Mine was.

You learned Italian?

Well, that was easy.

When I was a kid, they yelled at me in Italian.

You want me to yell at you in French?

Antoine! Antoine!

It's not the same.

So, how's the college search going?

We're trying to find one with an enriched academic environment.

Checking male -female ratio.

Boy, Mr. Metelli, that mind of yours is razor thin.

No, no, no.

That's sharp, Bonnie. Razor sharp.

Thank you.

Let me see this list here. What do you got?

Oh, UCLA.

What's wrong with UCLA?

Oh, nothing, nothing. Maybe someday they'll find out that smog is good for

Dad. Oh, no, no. Hey, it's your list. Any place you want to go.

Arizona? Sam, aren't we picking any schools that aren't out west?

Sure, somewhere in Europe.

What? That's nothing. One of them is in Switzerland.

I can't afford to send you to Switzerland for school. I can't even

chocolate.

Don't worry. I'm not going to any school that won't offer me a scholarship.

Oh, Sam, accelerating I like. Accelerating 2 ,000 miles away from home

sure about.

See, that's why they call it going away to college. Because you actually do go

away. So far.

Yeah. I know this is hard for you, but I promise before I make my final

decision, we'll talk.

Now, you have a major French test tomorrow, young man. I'll be up in a

bit to help you conjugate some verbs.

Oh, Sam, you're so smart. You know, no wonder you're going to college early.

You'll probably graduate before me.

Hey, hey, Sam, just remember them three little words.

I know. I love you. No, no. University of Connecticut.

You guys have the neatest relationship.

Yeah, well, we kind of grew up together.

It'll be really weird for him when you go home and he'll be so lonely.

Maybe at first.

I mean, but he'll be okay.

He'll always have Angela. They'll always be together.

How do you know that? It's not like they're married.

It doesn't matter.

They're like two peas in a pod.

You know, that raises an interesting question.

Are there really only two peas in a pod?

And how come they don't say three peas in a pod?

Bonnie.

Oh, sure. When I try to get intellectual, you look down on me.

Thank you, Duane.

No, thank you. It was a wonderful date. It wasn't a date.

There were 200 people there. It was a sales meeting.

We went in the same car.

I'll give you that.

Well... Good night, Dwayne. Aren't you going to ask me in? Well, you know, it's

getting kind of late, and I have a very big day tomorrow.

What is that enchanting scent?

Van Rolland.

I don't wear perfume. It gives me a rash.

I'm thinking of doing something rash myself.

Don't.

Good night, Dwayne.

What is she doing with that guy?

They were kissing.

You've really got to get out more.

What about dad?

Oh, yeah.

Looks like there's another pee in the pod.

Mr. Lonely, I have nobody

for my own.

Sorry. Hi.

Just a second. Come here.

Hey, look, honey, since I was thinking, since you got your mind set on going

away to college, not that I want you to, but since you do, I figure every

Christmas I'll scrape together the money to fly you home, you know?

Of course, if you were in the tri -state area, the money I could save on plane

fare could probably buy you a Miata.

But, hey, that's, you know, that's your decision.

So you mean you, Angela, Mona, and Jonathan and I will always spend

together? Well, maybe, maybe not. I mean, you never know what they're going

be doing. They may have plans of their own.

Yeah, but wouldn't their plans include you?

Well, maybe, maybe not.

But one thing's for sure.

My plans will always include you.

But don't you think it'll be weird for us not to spend so much time together?

Sounds like somebody's starting to have second thoughts about going so far away

for college, huh?

Dad. What's the matter? Swiss U isn't sounding so hot anymore, huh?

No, Dad, that's not it. Okay, okay. Anything you say, Miss Accelerator, huh?

Hey, look.

I gotta get to school.

You're nipping at my heels, huh?

By the way, have I told you lately how proud I am of you?

Yes, but I'm sure that won't stop you from doing it again. Hey, hey.

I'm taking the cereal.

Oh, morning, Sam. I'll see you tonight.

Angela, can I ask you a question?

Well, can it wait, honey? Actually, I have a big meeting in the city.

What are your intentions towards my father?

Let's talk.

It's just... You've known each other for a while now. Yeah.

And I... I always thought that you guys would get married.

Yeah. So?

Well, we did talk about it once. Remember when we were all in Jamaica?

Was that while you and Dad were making out on the bench?

We weren't making out. We were talking passionately. No, we were passionately

talking. We weren't passionate. We were sincere.

How much did you see?

Not much. The people from the tour bus were blocking our view.

So, what did you guys decide about marriage?

We decided not to decide for right now.

Do you know when you might decide?

I'd say soon. No, no, I shouldn't say that.

Probably later.

So the only thing you could say for sure is... Sooner or later.

Okay, so sooner or later, you're going to decide whether you may or may not get

married. Exactly.

I'm so glad we cleared that up.

Oh, Sam, honey, I'm sorry for being so oblique. It's just, you know, your

and I have this very complicated, open -ended, evolving relationship

that's kind of in flux.

We just don't know where it'll end up.

Understand?

I think I do.

Ooh!

Waiter, water, please.

Waiter, two coffees, please.

I'd like to stop now.

No,

no, I mean I'd really like to stop now.

No, no, tu comprends.

Je voudrais arrêter maintenant.

Tony. Tony.

Hey, look what just came for Mom, from some guy named Dwayne.

Oh, poor Angela.

Yeah, you know what they say, into each life a little Dwayne must fall.

That's pretty funny, but the joke wouldn't work if his name was Larry.

You're right.

Hi there.

Hey, honey. Hey, kiddo, how was school today?

Real good.

Real, real, real good.

Well, I see that thesaurus I got you's paying off, huh?

I dropped the accelerated program.

You dropped out of the program? Why? I mean, I thought you were so excited

going to college early.

Dad, it was too much work. I mean, the pressure was killing me.

I'm really stressed out. I was having accelerated nightmares where people were

walking very fast to class and I was in slow -mo.

Are you naked?

No.

Oh, can't relate.

Well, honey, if the program was too much pressure, then yeah, by all means, drop

it. You know, it's very admirable and very adult of you to recognize your

limitations.

Have I told you how proud I am of you?

Not for the past six or seven seconds.

Oh, the poor kid.

This must be really rough on her.

Ah, you love it. You get to keep her one more year. Yeah, right.

Oh, Dwayne Dwapski falling on my head.

Oh, great news, great news.

We're going to have Sam around here for an extra year.

What happened?

Oh, well, I guess she got a little nervous about leaving the nest. And who

blame her, you know, when you've got a daddy bird like me.

Oh, by the way.

You got some flowers from Dodo Bird.

Dear, how does this happen? I don't give them any encouragement.

Well, Angela, your very being is provocation enough, you know. Yeah, but

Hi. Is Tim home yet?

Oh, yes, we are. She's upstairs.

Oh, nice flowers.

Are they from the guy you were kissing last night?

You were kissing Howdy Doody?

No, how? Cody kissed me.

Oh, oh, really?

Maybe I'll just go upstairs.

Oh, oh, I get it now. Sam saw us kissing, and that's why she asked if you

were getting married.

What, Sam asked you if we were getting married? Really?

Well, what did you tell her?

What do you mean, what did I tell her? What would you have told her?

Well, I would have told her that, uh...

The subject has come up, but that we, you know, we haven't made up our minds

yet. Huh, that's what I told her. You told her that? Oh, my God.

I've got to go talk to her now.

And you, mind where you put them lips.

Oh, Bonnie, can I speak to Sam alone, please?

Oh, sure.

Thanks.

Um, Sam. Mr. Maselli? Yeah.

Don't be sad.

I'm sure Mr. Doody means nothing to her.

She told you what we saw last night, Dad? I'm sorry you had to find out this

way, but if it's any consolation, I know you could take him.

Sam, don't worry about that guy.

He's just a client. Angela has no interest in him.

But what if someday she does meet a guy she's interested in?

Well, I could probably take him, too.

What if you can't?

Hey, Sam, I mean, look, let me tell you. If for some reason things didn't work

out between me and Angela, I could find companionship on my own.

Hey, I got good hair.

I got most of my teeth. That alone in Sicily would make me a great catch.

So come on, sweetheart. What's really going on? And wait a minute. Does this

have anything to do with you dropping out of that program? No, no, no. I

out of the program because... Because I... Because

of you.

Me?

Why me?

I don't want to go away to college and leave you here all alone.

Oh, Sam.

I won't be alone.

Scared you'll end up an old man eating turkey on Thanksgiving in a self -serve

cafeteria.

Sam, you're depressing me.

But, I mean, even if that was going to happen, Sam, what did you think you'd

accomplish by staying with me another year?

I just want the extra time to... To what? To make sure I have somebody?

To make sure I'm taken care of?

Well, how did you plan on doing that, honey?

I don't know. That's why I need the extra time.

Sweetheart, look, hey, I raised you to have a life of your own, and let me tell

you, I love you for worrying about me, but it's your turn now. It's your time.

So, Sam, you want to go to college next year?

Yeah. All right, then.

Tomorrow, you go in and you see your guidance counselor and you get back in

program.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

Hey. Say teet.

Thanks, Dad.

And one more thing, honey.

I've been thinking, and any school that you want to go to is okay with me. I

mean it. And this time, I really mean it.

So you're not going to try to tug me into going to a college near home?

Of course not, Samantha. You know, part of the college experience is being away

from home. So go.

Go far.

Far away.

Dad, reverse psychology is such an old trick.

You taught it to me. Sam, I am not using reverse psychology.

Really? So you do want me to go away to college.

Oh, this is great.

This is great.

Damn,

she's too smart.

Hi, how's school? Oh, it is great. You know, I can't believe how popular I am.

I'm Mr. Popular. Everybody wants me to keep doing my Mike Tyson imitation.

Hey, I'll do it for you. Let me get this. I'll do it for you.

I hear some little guy around here making fun of me.
