The better, the better.

Oh, you poor, soggy thing.

Oh, that's what kind of week it's been, but I can handle it.

Your shoes untied.

Oh, no, why me?

First my car breaks down, and then I get into a fight with Matt, and then I find

out that I have three finals in one day.

And now my shoes untied.

Oh, and you're handling it so well, sweetheart.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You're feeling warm.

You're getting sick.

And you're making a puddle.

takes big time. Okay, yeah, yeah, and I'll warm up some soup. Oh, Dad, you

really don't have to. I just had to get that out of my system. I feel much

better now.

See?

Uh -huh, uh -huh. Well, look, at least let me wrap some stuff up for you. You

know, like a little soup, some lasagna, some cheesecake, huh? Tony, I think

you're supposed to starve a cold. Oh, no, no, no. Not if you're Italian. We

everything.

Oh, the poor kid.

First she skips her senior year in high school, and then she overloads herself

in college. I mean, no wonder she's falling apart.

Freshman year is the worst. I mean, I remember mine. Oh, I had the worst

professor. He was so boring.

Just thinking about him puts me in a trance.

Well, Angela, what do you think? Should we, uh... Angela.

Huh? Oh, I'm sorry.

Sorry. Hope the guy didn't teach driver's ed.

Hate to send her back to the dorms sick.

Maybe we could talk her into staying. I don't know. You know Sam. I'd love to do

that, but you know Sam. She's stubborn. She's headstrong. She's independent, you

know.

She's drooling on the chintz.

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 the dream or two.

Found a trail and yet the end was you.

There's a path you take and a path not taken. The choice is up to you, my

friend. Nights so long that you might awake to a brand new life, a brand new

life, a brand new life around the bend.

Sweetheart, rise and shine.

Just a few more minutes, Dad.

I made you your favorite breakfast.

Remember Mr.

Frenchy?

Bonjour, Mademoiselle Samantha.

Oh, Dad.

Dad? Yeah? What am I doing here? What time is it? It's 9 o 'clock. 9 o 'clock?

Dad, I've got to get out of here. I have a million things to do. No, no, no, not

until you had a nice hot breakfast. No, Dad, I really don't have time to eat.

Well, anyway, you're making Mr.

Frenchy très mad.

Oh, look, you even gave him a little butter beret. That's right.

Okay, okay, I'll leave. Okay, here you go, sweetheart.

Okay. Watch it.

Okay, now, here, Sam, look.

Here's a wild and spontaneous idea, okay?

What about if I get your car running, I swing by the library, pick up whatever

books you need, and then you stay here and study until you're 100 %?

It's just a wild idea off the top of my head.

Tony. Did you talk her into staying?

Oh, more spontaneity.

Thanks, guys, but I really have to leave right after I eat. Oh, can't you stay?

Look, Sam, the storm is over. The sun is shining.

The birds are singing all because you're home.

Hey, they're not only singing, they're showing up.

Angela, the birds are not singing just because I'm home.

You hurt his feelings now, Sam.

See, I told you she was here.

Hey, Sam, you don't look half as bad as Billy said you did.

Thank you.

Don't say anything about her shoelace. She'll start to cry.

Where the hell is my breakfast?

Mona.

Oh, deja vu. What are you doing here?

Well, she got sick last night. Yeah, and then a car broke down and she had a

fight with Matt. Yeah, it's been a bad week.

Oh, well, listen to Mona. See a doctor, drop Matt, and give me your French

toast. Listen to Mona.

Don't listen to Mona.

I agree. I think you should call Matt immediately.

No, no, no, not so fast. Make him sweat. Make him call you.

No, no, call him and beg. Guys love girls who beg. Oh, you're right. I do, I

yeah.

You know, I miss getting advice from you people. I mean, it's all bad, but I

still miss them.

Honey, you know what? Just sit up here and we'll make it a little more

comfortable. All right, all right, wait a minute. Come on, come on. Everybody

out of here. Sam's got a big day ahead of him. See you, Sam. Nice to have you

around, honey.

It sure is. Are you going to eat that bacon? Come on, come on, come on.

Bye,

Sam. Wish you could stay.

Oh, I swear I didn't make him say that.

You know, Dad, I'm still pretty locked up. Maybe I should just spend today in

bed.

You sure?

Yeah, I think I need the rest.

All right, this is great. My baby's too sick to leave.

You know what I mean, Sam. Hey, I better get that car running, huh? Oh, Dad,

could you check my left speaker? I think it blew out.

Anything for you. Oh, and Dad.

Yes?

I was wondering if maybe for dinner you could make my favorite.

Mr. Linguini?

You got it, you got it. Okay, all right, Dad.

You all right?

Thanks.

You're welcome, sweetheart.

Oh, I just love having a home.

Hey, Bird, you really singing just for me?

Cool.

Oh, it's about time, you know. I sent you to get Sam's mail over an hour ago.

What took you so long?

Tony, it's a girl's dorm.

What are you doing back so soon?

Tony, I... I typed up Sam's notes for her term paper. Oh, and remember to buy

more index cards for Sam. Yes, yes. I'll put that on my things to get Sam list.

I can't believe you guys.

What? All I've heard for the past four days is Sam, Sam, Sam.

She's got you two wrapped around her little finger.

Jonathan, that's crazy.

Coming, Sam!

service. Oh, great. I'm starved. Can I take Ben outside?

What, what, what, what, what, what? You want to play with a doll?

I want to see if I can milk a fish with a magnifying glass.

That's my boy.

There you go, buddy.

Okay, Sam. Hey, you know, you're looking a lot better, Sam. A lot of your

color's coming back.

Oh, yeah. I'm about 80 -85%. Oh, that's good. That's good. Look, Angela typed up

your notes. Where would you like them? Oh, great. You could just put them over

there by my book. Yes, ma 'am. Yes, ma 'am, Sam.

Well, wait a minute. What books?

They're under Darby's party pad.

Darby Party Pad, huh?

What else we got here? I got albums. Sam, looks like somebody's not doing

homework. I know, but I don't get much chance to play with Billy. I promise

start right after dinner.

I've got a surprise for you.

It's an old high school friend, someone from your not -too -distant past. See if

you can recognize this boy.

We first met in the sixth grade.

I cut in front of you in the milk line.

You shoved me to the ground and called me a big chowderhead.

I wonder who that could be.

It's me, Bonnie. I'm the big chatterhead.

Oh, hi.

Hey, Bonnie.

Oh, good to see you. But, Bonnie, you got ten minutes because Sam has to hit

books. Oh, don't worry about that, Mr. Maselli. I think that education is the

second most important thing for young people today.

Okay, Bonnie, what's the first?

The first what?

We've missed you, Bonnie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ten minutes, girls.

So good to see you. I know. How are you doing? What's going on? How's old

Fairfield high?

Well, the best part is that I get out every day at noon. I've got an easy

Senior year, not much homework.

It's okay.

Okay. That sounds great.

Why did I ever skip my senior year? I miss you, Bonnie. I miss all the guys.

How's JJ and Gina?

Find out for yourself. There's a party tonight. Come with me.

There's going to be a guy you used to like there.

Michael Graham?

And he asks about you all the time. Does he? Yeah.

It's really obnoxious.

I can't. I told my dad I was going to stay home and study. Besides, I'm still

little bit sick.

You look fine to me.

I know, but I have a term paper to do, three finals to cram for, and all this

reading. Oh, what the heck? Come on, let's go. All right. Okay, now, go

downstairs and tell my dad that I'm taking a nap, and I'll use the old

route, and I'll meet you downstairs.

Oh?

It's going to be just like old times.

You and me together, the three musketeers.

Bye, Sam. Have a nice nap, Sam. Feel better, Sam.

I had a nice chat with Sam, but now he's taking a nap. Bye.

Oh, no, wait a minute, Bonnie. Wait a second. Where are you going? What's the

rush? You know, I missed out on all the good girl talk, you know? So, how are

you? How's your folks?

Uh, my folks? Yeah.

Tell you what.

Why don't you ask them yourself? They've been dying to talk to you. Oh, Bonnie,

I really don't think that's necessary. Hi, Mom.

Mr. Maselli wants to talk to you.

Hello, Mrs. Munson.

Well, no, Bonnie just sort of shoved the phone into my hand.

Well, no, I wouldn't call her a big chowderhead.

Hi, Sam. Have a nice nap, Sam. Feel better, Sam. Real smooth, Bonnie.

It's a gift.

Bonnie. Your mother wants you to bring home a quart of milk.

Got it. I mean, I'll get it.

Thanks. Bye.

Oh, and Barney, Barney, I just want you to know it's really good seeing you

again. Oh, thank you, too. Bye. Oh, and you look terrific.

Oh, thank you. Okay.

Bye -bye. Bye.

That was close.

Yeah.

Boy, I miss the old days.

So, what are the guys like? Oh, they all drive convertibles and they're as

handsome as they are rich.

Wow.

I can't wait to go to college.

It was a joke.

Well, duh.

Hey, Sam.

Long time no see.

Hi, Michael. How have you been?

Oh, just leave me alone.

You know what I mean.

Nobody ever knows what she means.

So, how's college?

Actually, it's a lot of pressure.

Yeah, well, high school's no picnic either.

This year I'm the chairman of the homecoming committee, which means I've

do posters, run a helium tank, make a giant paper mache ox by Friday.

That's it?

I wish. I haven't even started the eight -foot Paul Bunyan.

Well, I haven't even started my 20 -page poli sci paper.

I'll trade you.

No, thanks.

Actually, I have a really cool philosophy course, and I never thought

into Kierkegaard, but when I heard his theory on the isolation of the

individual, I just felt that... So how big's that

ox?

It's big.

You can see all the chicken wire.

Aren't you glad you didn't smell the dumb stuff?

Dumb? Guys, you're talking about fun here. I mean, this is the best year of

life. You must be kidding.

You guys don't know how good you have it.

Carpe diem.

Huh?

Thieves of the day.

Huh?

Rock and roll.

Oh, honey, don't eat those. Those are for Sam.

Jonathan. Bad boy, bad boy. Spit that out. Spit that out.

Jonathan.

Now, why did you eat those cookies when I explicitly asked you not to?

Look, guys, can't you see Sam's milking this? I mean, how long are you going to

let it go on?

Do I have to wait until I'm sick before I get another cookie?

Is that what this is all about, a cookie?

It's not the cookie. It's what the cookie stands for.

Hey, wait, wait, wait.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to bake you your very own batch of cookies.

Oh, come on, Angela. Don't punish the kid.

Still looking out for you, pal.

Tony, I think he's right.

Do you think maybe she could be milking this?

Are you kidding me? My daughter has been upstairs sleeping for the past three

hours.

Poor thing.

Maybe we should go check on her. Oh, I'd love to do that. You know what? I'll

give you that last piece of cheesecake.

Tell her Jonathan ate it.

Sam. Sam.

Oh, Angel, would you look at that?

She's out like a light.

You know, Angel, let me tell you something.

This is heaven.

You know, having all your loved ones under one roof, knowing that your little

girl is safe and sound in her own little bed.

What are you doing?

I just stepped outside for some fresh air.

No, you should be in bed. You're sick.

You know, you're right. Good night.

Sam.

Okay, um, I snuck out of the house to go to a party with Bonnie tonight, and I

was just sneaking back in.

Sam, why would you sneak in and out of a house you don't even live in?

Good point, Dad.

Sam, I can't believe this. I mean, you haven't pulled a stunt like this since

junior high school.

Oh, actually, I did it twice last year, but nobody caught me.

That's because she had an accomplice.

Oh, Sam.

Freddy Fuzzy Face.

Freddy Fuzzy Face should be used for good, not for evil.

I know, Dad. I just wanted to see some of the old gang. I just should have told

you. You bet your life you should have told me. I mean, going out when you're

sick.

You are sick, aren't you?

Can I see you outside, Angela?

And Sam, will you be here when I get back?

I can't believe this. She is milking it, isn't she?

No.

How could she take advantage of us like that?

Probably because we insisted.

Well, it was just so much fun being able to do things for her again.

I know.

I know. I got caught up in it, too. Oh, yeah, but now it's got to end.

She's got to be told it's time for her to leave. It's for her own good.

You're right, Tony. Be gentle with her.

She's your daughter.

Well, it's your house.

Tony, this is ridiculous.

Okay, all right, you're right. I'll choose you, okay? I got odds.

All right. Okay, one, two, three, shoot.

I never thought the day would come when I'd have to kick my daughter out onto

the street.

Two out of three?

Sam, we have to talk. And don't hold Freddy like that, please.

Now, look.

Look, Sam, the thing is this.

Sam, when you moved out to college, I felt very empty. I mean, I didn't even

know how empty until you came back home.

I mean, having you here makes me feel all warm and happy and complete.

Oh, I'm happy to be here too, Dad. Good.

Now get out.

What? That's right, Sam.

Hit the bricks. Take your shoes for a walk.

You've been hiding out here, Sam, and it's no good.

I know.

You know, I'm just so mad at myself. I mean, I thought I was this big,

independent person, but now it turns out that I'm not.

Well, who is, Sam? I mean, who is?

I mean, everybody gets knocked down once in a while. And let me tell you, it's

good sometimes to take the eight count before you get back up.

But it's time for you to get back on your feet. I mean, a ref's counting.

Nine and a half.

Nine and three quarters. I'm up.

Angela, will you relax? He doesn't have the guts to throw her out.

Well, goodbye.

What? You evil, rotten man.

It's for the best.

Thanks for everything.

You know, even if you can't stay, it's nice to know you can come home again.

Honey, you can't go now. It's pouring.

There's always going to be something, Angela.

Goodbye.

Bye.

There goes my little girl.

My car's in the back.

There she goes again.

Uh, Tony, when are you gonna start studying for your final? Oh, please,

mention that, huh?

I spent so much time, you know, taking care of Sam that I'm gonna have to

cram...

Bless you. Are you getting a cold?

No, no, that was only one sneeze. Doesn't mean anything.

Oh, my gosh, two sneezes.

I'm sick.

Oh, I feel achy. I feel the chills coming on. Oh, Tony, you just lie right

and I'll take care of you. Oh, thank you, Angela. Thank you very much. Could

have some juice?

Oh, sure. I'll get it for you right away.

No pits.

I'll personally remove them. Go ahead. One more thing, please.

I got it.

Freddie Fuzzy Face.

What a baby.
