Monday morning, you start work as a staff reporter.

We're both doing the same thing.

Exactly what our dads want us to.

And now, Welcome Home, Part 2.

Anything exciting happen today, huh?

Oh, well, yeah, it was a very interesting day.

I had to cover the cat fanciers banquet at the Pfister Hotel.

Boy, those people really love cats.

Pour yourself some milk here and try to unwind.

Oh, Mom, don't you have anything besides milk? Soda pop?

Oh, we don't drink soda pop with dinner.

I spent three years defending my country.

And I can't have soda with dinner.

Yeah.

Hi.

I'm sorry to bother you, but is there somebody here who could cash a check for

me so I can get something decent for you for a change? Oh, don't be silly,

Chachi. We have plenty of food. No, I couldn't do that. Then don't. But I

No, uh -uh.

Mama's sitting there and Richie Jr.'s sitting there.

And I'm not. movie.

I'll just go and sit in the kitchen.

No, I insist.

Hi, everybody.

Honey,

I think I found the perfect house to rent.

It's just four blocks away. There was another couple there. If we don't take

tonight, tomorrow they'll grab it. Don't you think it'd be nice to find out how

much this perfect house is going to cost us before we move in?

It's only $200 a month.

I don't know. That's a lot of money. Oh, honey, I know if you see it, you're

just going to love it. It's fully furnished, a garage, a big backyard. We

get a dog.

We need a dog, Banjo.

Oh, yeah. Oh, listen, tomorrow we're going to go shopping. We're going to get

dishes and linens and curtains. Oh, that's great. Wait a minute. We're not

getting curtains. We're not getting a dog, and we're not moving into a house

$200 a month.

I just got back from work. It was kind of a hard day.

I'd like to unwind and eat my dinner.

And tomorrow night with dinner, I want photo pop.

Can I have a roll, please?

Thanks. I'll get my own gravy.

Dad, why were you yelling tonight?

Sometimes.

Daddies get angry because they have to do things that they don't want to.

It's kind of like, uh... Sometimes we ask you to pick up your toys and you

want to.

But you do, because you know it's the right thing.

You understand?

No.

Well, you will.

Go to sleep.

Dad.

Yeah? What's better, a penny or a quarter?

A quarter.

this the game ball oh that's great that's nice so what are we going to play

next week what happened what happened this guy led us to victory

he got four hits and he faked a heart attack so i could steal home my play my

Hey, go ahead. What do you want to say?

I want you to quit the team.

What?

Look, Rich, since you joined, I'm riding the bench.

I'm not like you. I don't have a great job, a wife, a kid.

This is everything I got in life.

Oh, Potts, you're overreacting. We'll figure something out. We'll trade off or

something. You'll play. No, I won't.

They already told me to give you my pants.

You played a heck of a game tonight.

Oh, thanks. You played pretty well yourself.

Oh, thanks.

I wanted to ask you something.

Oh, yeah, with that line drive I stopped?

Oh, no, but how is your chin?

I think the swelling's gone down.

You seem real happy with your life.

Are you doing what you always wanted to do?

Well, no, Rich.

You know what I really wanted to do? I wanted to play basketball for the

Celtics, but they cut me. Oh, too bad. Yeah, if I'd just been a little taller.

One, maybe two feet.

So much for dreams. Yeah.

But you know, Rich, if I hadn't at least tried for the Celtics, I would have

spent the rest of my life wondering what if, wouldn't I?

Wouldn't I?

Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.

Thank goodness. For a minute there, I thought my life had no meaning.

Oh, you know, I'm kind of out of shape. I'm tired from that game. Yeah?

I'm going to head on home.

Will you, uh, say goodbye to the other guy? Oh, yeah.

I'll, uh, see you around.

Red.

Oh, would you do me one favor?

Sure, anything.

Don't let him take Patsy's pants.

I'll buy my own, all right? Oh.

See ya.

Hi, kiddo.

How about shooting a couple hoops with me, okay?

Mom, you're no good at basketball.

Are you kidding?

You ever hear of Will Chamberlain?

Yeah, sure I've heard of him. Well, it's all right.

Come on. Come on. Now, just to make the game interesting, if I win, you shave

off that thing that crawled up on your lip and died.

What's the matter? You don't like my mustache?

Oh, no, Richard. You're such a handsome boy. Why do you have to hide behind that

awful thing?

No, no, I'm not going to play my mother a one -on -one for my mustache.

That's right.

Afraid you can't whoop your old mom?

Oh, Richard, you just creamed your Howdy Doody lamp.

Oh, that's all right. I still have my Clarabelle on the other side.

You used to be so crazy about Howdy Doody. You used to dress up just like

You used to walk just like him.

You know the way I used to feel about Howdy?

It's exactly the way I feel about my mustache now.

Oh, Richard.

So listen, Mom.

If it means so much to you that you were willing to try to get me out on the

court, I guess I could shave it.

Oh, Richard.

You're a wonderful boy. Thanks.

Mom.

If you would have played me a one -on -one, I'd have beat you easy.

Well, maybe.

Maybe not.

the reservoir.

I don't know what happened. He just rushed right by me. Well, what would

him act like that?

I don't know. I felt that something has been bothering him for the last couple

of weeks. I was just hoping he would open up to me.

Well, he's gone.

How could you let him go?

He jumped in his car and he burned rubber out of the driveway.

Oh, I just don't know. what to do. Ladies, ladies, I'm around. You don't

worry about a thing.

What can you do?

I can get Fonzie.

Beach and pool take you home, huh?

Yeah, right. Real coincidence.

Why don't you do us both a favor and just get out?

I don't mind if I do. Thanks.

Beer here.

So, have you thought of a name for your next child?

Buzz off. Oh, you know it's a boy.

Look, I would really like to be alone right now.

No, you don't.

Let's get something straight, all right? Yeah.

a few choice words are long gone.

So why don't you leave a mundo?

You're absolutely right. This is not a frosh mixer. I can't fix you up with a

date, but you are my friend. We can talk about it, and I haven't said a mundo in

a long time.

Bye.

You don't want to say anything? We won't talk.

Then we'll go home. You know why? Because there are a lot of people

about you. I'll leave when I damn well... feel like leaving. Good plan.

plan. Something in my soul tells me that you want to leave right now. So,

Richie, put the beer down and let's go home, okay?

Right? Come on, Richie. Let's go. I said I'll leave when I feel like it. What,

are you crazy? You think I'm going to let you do that a second time?

I'm going to get you in that car. Right.

I'm going to kick your butt. Right.

Hans. Yeah.

What am I doing? I'm going crazy.

I can't go around living my life pretending that I'm happy all the time.

good, John. It's no good.

I get it.

You've been living your life for everybody else, right?

You've been the perfect son, the perfect student, the perfect father, the

perfect husband. Perfect soldier.

Perfect friend.

It's now time to take responsibility for your own life. You've got to do what

you want to do, Richie.

No, it's not that simple.

No? See, my dad got me that job at the newspaper. So what? My wife.

Lori Beth has her heart set on living in Milwaukee.

Your wife, Lori Beth, has her heart set on spending the rest of her life with

you. Don't sell her short, Richie.

She'll back you in anything you want to do. We all will.

Look, you're single.

You don't know what it's like to have people depending on you each and every

day. Are you delirious?

All right, I'll be fair with you, okay? I don't have a wife and kids, but if I

had yours, I would let nothing stop me.

Maybe it's just because I'm scary.

I understand scary.

But you've already done the scariest thing you'll ever do in your life.

You're hitting me.

You know, if I decide to go out there, I know I can make it.

There is no doubt in my mind.

I'm already behind the movie theater waiting to sneak in to see your first

Hugging, hugging, hugging.

Hey,

Lori Beth, it's your last chance.

Are you sure you want to go through with this?

Oh, honey, you keep asking me that. I'm behind you 100%. Just that until last

night, I didn't know what I was behind.

Oh, thanks.

Since you feel that way, would you mind telling my dad?

Richie! I'm kidding. I'm just kidding.

Hey, where's little Rich?

Oh, he's in the backyard. I'll get him. Oh, he's not eating dirt again, is he?

He wouldn't do that.

Well, Richie, you spit that out right now.

That's my son.

You! Hello!

Look what we got for little Richie.

Marion loves it. Same color nose as her mother's.

Start dinner. I'll help you, Mom. Wait, Mom, Mom, Joni, Dad, would you all mind

sitting down, please?

All right.

Thanks. I just have something to tell you. You see, Lori Beth and I won't be

here for dinner or breakfast or winter.

How?

He's moving to California.

Listen to me.

Everything you said made a lot of sense. It was good advice.

But I talked it over with Lori Beth, and we've decided that we have to give this

a chance.

Look, when we get to California, I might have to get an odd job or something,

but that's what I really, really want to do.

Now, the only regret that I have is I have to say goodbye.

Marion, give me that famous pre -signed checkbook of yours, will you?

Dad, Dad, now wait a minute. I really don't want to take any of your money.

Richard, you remember before when I was telling you about the sacrifices I made

for my family?

Well, for a little while, I forgot why.

But it's because I wanted my children to go as far as their gifts could take

them.

You take this and you fill in whatever amount you think you need.

You know something?

I don't know when I've ever been so proud of both of you.

And now you're going to leave just when I'm getting used to your mustache.

It's going to look very nice on a screenwriter.

Thanks, Mom.

Rich.

I'm happy for you.

Hey.

Hey, cut it out. You're going to make me start crying.

You grew up so pretty.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Where is my grandchild?

He's out back eating dirt.

Well, come on now. We're all going to go to the airport with you.

I'll just... We'll all meet you in the car.

I knew that this moment would come someday, and I always thought I'd be

for it, but... I guess a father never really is.

I'll lend you a hand with the bags.

Dad? Yeah?

I love you.

Oh, listen.

If you find out...

You don't need that.

Just, for God's sake, tear it up.

Hey, Bertie.

I got him.

Two first -class tickets to Tinseltown.

Oh, first class, Fonz. I can't afford first class. Of course you can. I got

from Yolanda down at the travel agency. One more date, you're going to Europe.

Well, I guess this is it, huh?

Yeah.

Ponce, listen, um... I'm a writer, or at least I hope so.

And sometimes it's, uh... It's a little easier for me to express myself with

words.

I wrote this to you this morning because I knew that when we were face to face

like this that, uh... Well, I might not be able to define the words.

How do you thank somebody who's been everything to you?

Your brother?

Your protector?

You delivered my own child.

I just don't know how I could ever say that.

I think you just did.

Very much.

Happy days are yours and mine.
