Ordered 12 dozen buns.

Al needs 12 dozen buns.

And I need 50 pounds of hamburger meat.

Al needs 50 pounds of hamburger meat.

And would you do me a favor and keep your thumb off the scale this time,

And I need 20 pounds of pickles. 20 pounds of poker?

Oh, Al, is that a pickle?

How do you expect me to make Arnold Burgers without pickles?

You're right, Al, but he says he's got lots of raisins. I can't use raisins.

What, does he think I do business with a bunch of ding -a -lings?

On second thought, he'll take the raisins.

All right, Al, what do you think?

Tell the truth now.

One cheese sandwich coming up.

What are you doing, Al?

I'm the mouse that ran up the clock.

Guess what I am. How much time do I have?

Okay, why the get -ups?

Homecoming floats.

The theme this year is nursery rhymes.

Oh.

Ricky, you are messing me crazy. I worked on his costume for weeks.

Well, then you should have talked to me about it, Lori Beth, because I'm not

going to wear this to the homecoming parade.

Oh, Ricky, what are you doing?

I look ridiculous.

Nobody else thinks you look ridiculous.

You look ridiculous.

See you later, Rich.

Keep your sunny side up.

You see that?

It's the homecoming parade we do every year. Well, maybe I'll sit it out this

year. Oh, look at this.

Cute, Rich.

Of course I'll do it, Fonz.

all the commotion. He's Chick's father on a carpet stall.

Look at this. I come in for a quick sandwich. I landed here in Twilight

Homecoming quotes and nursery rhymes.

Hey, Mother Goose.

Yo.

Got three number twos to go. You got it, Bunch. All right.

Oh.

You're very down -to -mouth, Renee.

Richie's upset about being Humpty Dumpty.

I'm way past upset.

Cracking under pressure, huh?

Cracking under pressure.

All right, all right, over to the jukebox. We'll have a real man -to -egg

huh?

All right, Hickory Dickory, you talk to one of the chicks here. Hey, thanks,

bud. Thanks, bud.

Hi there.

Want to come over to my place for some cheese and crackers?

All right, still.

Swallowing goldfish. Having pillow fights down at the frat house.

Playing hide -and -go -seek at Inspiration Point. Those are all nice

Fonz. But dressing up like Humpty Dumpty?

You don't want to be Humpty Dumpty. See that? I knew you'd understand. Sure I

understand. Okay, you'll make a perfect Georgie Porgy.

Wooden pie, huh? See that? I saw you proud.

Hey, yeah.

My to -go order ready.

Thanks. Girls, Inspiration Point.

I want to show you that area I checked out for outdoor coffee.

Did Humpty Dumpty fall off his wall?

It doesn't matter. It was a Humpty Dumpty wall joke. You know what I mean?

Sorry. I'm getting them from everybody. Look, I can't even go into the bathroom.

You see that?

I'm sorry, Bess. Yeah, I'm sorry too, Lori Bess.

But you're just going to have to understand something. I can't wear this

costume. So I'm sure the costume committee can find somebody else to wear

Rick, I am the costume committee.

I'm not going to change my mind, Lori Bess. That's it. No way.

Where are you going?

I don't know. I'm going out in the real world to find some grown -ups. I'm not

going very far in this outfit either Matthew

what

you came in here looking for action. You're just A little bit early.

No, no. I'm just trying to find a place to be alone.

I guess I came to the right spot.

What'll it be, pal?

Beer, please.

Drafts or bottles?

Roots.

Root beer.

Drink it slow.

Hello. Hi. Can I help you?

I'll have a root beer, please.

What is this, a good ship lollipop?

Excuse me.

I just ordered a root beer myself.

Did you?

Oh, please, let me get this. Oh, that's not necessary. No, no, it's my pleasure.

It's not that often that I run into a fellow root beer lover.

Thanks. It's all right.

Keep the change.

Hey, thanks, root beer.

Oh, here, let me help you with that. No, no, no, it's just my camera equipment.

I'm used to it.

Oh, that's a lot of camera equipment.

Well, I'm a freelance photographer.

Freelance photographer?

No kidding.

Oh, see, we're sort of in the same field.

I'm a journalism major. I got a job down at the Milwaukee Journal.

Oh. Well, on the loading docks.

But, you know, I figure it's a start.

My name's Richard Cunningham.

I'm Barbara Thomas.

Oh, very nice meeting you.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Where are you from?

Well, mostly I live on the road. But I have a place in Paris.

Paris.

Well, I guess I could practice some of my college French on you then, huh?

You better not. I have just a smattering of enough languages to get me a room

and a shower. Oh.

Well, what's your favorite foreign language?

Italian. Italian?

Freelance photographer, huh?

Would you mind if I... I mean, could I buy you another drink?

Why not?

Frutta birra, too.

Hello, Sunrise Forest?

Yes, I'd like to order a dozen long -stemmed roses.

Yes, and on the card, I would like you to put, I want these flowers.

To see how lovely you are.

Yeah, that's right. And underline the you.

Thanks. Well, I am a writer.

I'd like you to send them to Barbara Thomas at the Pfister Hotel.

You can send the bill to Cunningham Hardware.

I'm going to get that monogrammed shirt. Wait a minute.

Oh, don't worry, Dad. I'll pay for those flowers. I'm much more mature now.

Yeah, well, forget mature. Tell me something. Who is this new girl, Barbara

Thomas?

She's not a girl, Dad.

She isn't.

She's a woman.

I was close.

One, two, three, four.

A warm, witty, sophisticated woman of the world.

You called?

Oh, one, two, three, four.

What put you in such a good mood? You did.

Oh. Sweetheart.

to sitting alone in a gondola on the Grand Canal.

A gondola?

My parents left me a crosstown bus once.

A gondola?

Oh, man.

Venice? Camel races in Morocco?

You've been just about everywhere, right?

Well, almost everywhere.

I saved Milwaukee for tonight.

To Milwaukee.

To Milwaukee.

Barbara, you know, you're fascinating.

I bet you've never worn a Humpty Dumpty suit.

What? Never mind.

I just, uh... I don't think I've ever met anyone like you before.

Excuse me. Miss, this was left at the front desk for you.

Hey, hey, hey, root beer!

Pardon me, Richard, while I mix a little business with pleasure.

Sure. These are my photo proofs of my Tahiti trip.

I sold a layout to a travel magazine.

Congratulations.

Not too bad.

But what's left to say about Tahiti?

Well, I can tell you what these pictures say to me.

Romance is alive and well in the South Sea.

That's a nice title for my story.

May I?

You mean you want to...

Be my guest.

You know, you could be a big help on my next feature on Venice.

You'd be great. Think of it.

Venice through the eyes of a young romantic.

Young romantic?

When do we leave?

I leave tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow's the day after tonight.

You don't, uh... stick around in one place very long, would you?

My choice, Richard.

You know, my father was a coal miner with eight children.

My mother always wanted to travel. She finally got to.

She went to Scranton when they buried my aunt.

A lot of people never really... I'm not a lot of people.

I swore I'd see the world.

So now you're going to Venice.

Venice.

Canal.

Come

with me?

No, no, I couldn't.

Could I?

You could.

But how about school?

I... I'd drop out. Are you kidding? This is the dropout generation.

Besides, I could always drop back in.

Look, I know a wonderful little hotel in Venice.

What would your parents say?

A lot. Oh, yeah.

My parents would say a lot. But on the other hand, it's my life.

It's my decision.

Well, then there's nothing else keeping you here? I can think of a million

things keeping me here.

Right now, I can't think of a single one that's as important as this.

You write the words, I'll take the pictures.

Here's to our feature.

Venice through the eyes of a young romantic.

Not too young, I hope.

That's up to you.

Barbara.

Would you care for some dessert?

Why don't we just have a nightcap?

In my room.

Oh, solo mio.

Howard? Howard?

Johnny? Richard isn't home, and his bed hasn't been slept in. All

right, Marion, calm down. He probably spent the night at the frat house.

But he always called.

You're overreacting, Marion.

Mom. to be late for the college SAT test.

Morning.

Where have you been? We've been worried sick.

Oh, you should have called, Richard.

Let's hear the details, sport.

Well, come on. What have you got to say?

I'm going to Venice.

With Barbara. Wow.

Wow.

Boy, it's amazing how far you can get these days on a dozen long stem roses.

Come on, Dad. Now, that's not a fair statement to make.

We walked and we talked and she showed me all her pictures.

It was a glorious night.

Why didn't you call, Richard?

Oh, I'm sorry, Dad. I should have.

Listen, I don't want to upset anyone.

I just want to go to Venice.

How about school?

How about your job?

How about taking your sister?

Jolie.

I knew you'd say all those things. You know, you're such a wonderful family.

Come on, Mom. If I don't make that test, I'll never get to college. Go ahead,

Marion. I'll handle this. Well, gently, Howard.

Gently. Richie, you can have whatever's in my piggy bank.

Thanks, Jolie.

Look, Dad, I have to say this. I feel like I'm a little bit too old for a

typical father -son talk.

Oh, no, you're not.

Because I'll always be your father, just like you're always going to be my son.

I'm a grown man now, Dad. I can think for myself.

Well, then why don't you think with your head instead of your heart? Because

this is my chance to fly.

This is my chance to get out there and experience things instead of just

about them all the time. Dad, how am I ever going to be a writer if I don't get

out there and see and do some things?

I'm going to be leaving a lot of loose ends. What about school?

Well, college is always going to be there. Oh.

And Lori Beth, will she always be there, too?

I've thought a lot about Lori Beth.

I'm crazy about her, Dad.

She's a wonderful girl.

Barbara is a wonderful woman.

Richard, what do you know about this Barbara Thomas?

I mean, you're willing to change her whole life for some dame you've known

24 hours?

Dame?

Let me tell you something, Dad. You don't know this person. You have no

calling her a dame, bucko.

I didn't mean that.

You're not a bucko.

But I still want this job in Venice, Dan.

Look, Richard, all I'm asking you to do is to think. Use that mind of yours.

Because whatever you decide now, you're going to have to live with for the rest

of your life.

Will you at least promise me that?

I promise, bucko.

I can't ask for any more.

Her name's Barbara.

And she's climbed the Himalayas. She's met the Dalai Lama.

She's been to the camel races in Morocco.

Richie, you're running away with a travel agent?

She's a freelance photographer.

I don't know.

Somehow I want more out of my life than a nine -to -five job, two -week vacation

in August, six paid holidays a year.

It's not just the Humpty Dumpty suit that's making you nuts. No.

Fanta. I got to grow up.

You're in college.

When you're in Rome, do as the Romanians do.

No, Fonz. I know.

You're not going to wear an egg suit when you're 30, you understand?

You're in college now.

A lot of people are depending on you. Fonz, I can't pass up on this chance.

I just can't.

I'll write your letters.

Yeah, you write me letters from Italy, from Paris, just postcards.

Yeah, I could put him up in my locker.

You are really crazy about this chick, ain't you?

Oh, yeah, I really am.

Fonz, you know what I would like?

I would like you to be the first person to meet here. Will you come down to the

hotel with me?

Yeah, she met the Dalai Lama. She could meet me.

Room, pretty good, huh?

Oh, Fonz, Fonz, come on. You've got to come over here for a second.

See, this is the table where we had dinner. Only, see, I was sitting here,

now, you know, she was sitting over there, but this lady's sitting here.

he's a little bit excited. Bon appétit, you know what I mean?

And over here, see, this is where we met. I was sitting here, she was sitting

there, but then a little bit later, I moved over here. Why don't you just get

her on the phone?

Oh, right, right.

Bartender, do you have a house phone?

got something for you here. Oh, didn't I pay my bill last night? No, no, no,

it's not a bill. It's from the other root beer.

Oh, that's Barbara.

Yeah,

excuse me. Yo.

Dearest Richard, Venice was canceled.

I'm being sent to Australia.

Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye in person.

I'll always treasure the memory of Milwaukee.

And you.

Love, Barbara.

Oh, Red, I am more than sorry.

In the friend, in the dream, in the story.

Correction.

End of this story.

You've got a million comments, Red.

And she left a note with the bartender.

Oh, my.

Thanks for telling us, Fonz.

Yeah.

He's out walking. He'll be here soon.

This was really rough on him.

I thought long and hard about telling you. I thought maybe I had to take the

risk, you know.

I figured this way. He lost her.

He got you.

Poor Richard.

Oh, he'll be okay.

It's rough, but it's all part of growing up. And he'll handle it very well.

Listen, don't anyone say anything when he comes in, huh?

Joanie.

Oh, please.

You know.

Fonzie. Well, he was worried about you, Richard, and so were we.

Now, dinner's gonna be in about an hour, dear.

There's a good old Marx Brothers picture on TV tonight.

Get a lot of rest. Big day tomorrow.

Homecoming parade.

Listen, I appreciate what you're all trying to do, but... I'm gonna get there

one of these days.

Maybe with Barbara.

Maybe with somebody else, but I'm going to get there.

Our little boy is growing up.

No, Marion.

He's grown.

You know, I hope college isn't as hard as those tests were.

If you want to go to college, you've got to take the test.

I'll get it, yeah.

to the homecoming parade.

Sure he's going. It's going to be such a great parade.

Look, gang, I think maybe you're going to have to find someone else to play

Humpty Dumpty.

Oh, no.

Sorry I'm late.

Hey, I do.

Oh, boy, I'm really glad you decided to be Humpty Dumpty.

Oh, me too. I didn't want to let everybody down.

What, am I going to be an egg when I'm 30?

Hey, we better get going.

We're going to be late. We're going to be late.

Pussy really lives his part.

Oh, I'm coming. I've got to take pictures of the homecoming parade. Have

wonderful time.

Bye. Howard, come on. Let's go to the parade.

Oh, not me. I hate parades. Every time I watch one, I've got to stand on my

tiptoes.

This may be the last time that you can see your son in an egg suit. Come on,

bucko. Again with the bucko. What is it?

and can hold me when I hold you.

All right. It can't be wrong.

Rocking and rolling.

All right.
