Please stay dry.

Where's Dad?

Well, he went to a meeting of the
Leopard Lodge with Donald Hedges.

Oh, no, not him. Oh, every time he sees
me, he tells me I'm growing like a weed.

If I hear that one more time, I'll
scream.

That must be your father now.

Oh, and Mr. Hedges, he's not going to
call me a weed.

So the traveling salesman said to the
farmer's daughter, Hi, Marion.

You have to say hello to Mrs.

Grand.

Convention, Donald?

Zoe, yes. I got my car trunk filled with
water balloons already.

Hey, and I'm taking my son, Junior,
along.

He's such a fun guy, you know. We're
just like buddies together. Probably

Hugh and Richie, huh?

Is he going to the convention?

Oh, uh, yes.

Of course he is. Hey, great.

There'll be no stopping the four of us,
huh? Nothing like being buddies with

your kid. Well, so long. Bye.

Oh, and say hello to that good -looking
little daughter of yours.

She's growing like a weed.

That's not funny, Joanie.

You know, Marion, maybe I should invite
Richie to come to the convention with

me. I don't know why, but we're not such
good buddies anymore.

Gee, when he was little, I used to be
his little league coach and take him to

see Santa Claus.

Oh, Howard, that's all little boy stuff.
He's a young man now.

Yeah, well, that's the whole point. Now
that he's older, we should be closer

than ever.

We haven't done anything together in a
long time.

Well, go ahead, dear. Just invite him to
the Leopard Convention.

I'll bet if I invite him, he'll just
laugh at me right in my face. Richard is

not that way.

Hello. Hi.

Come on.

Thank you.

Richard, how would you like to go with
me to the Leopard Lodge Convention this

weekend?

Oh, you made cookies, huh?

I can't laugh in your father's face.

Oh, Mom, he doesn't care whether I go to
that convention or not.

Yes, he does.

This is very important to him, Richard.

You know, you're going to graduate in
another year, and you might even end up

working in another town.

You know, I think your father feels that
now is the time the two of you should

be buddies.

Oh, Mom, we've got plenty of time for
that.

Ralph and Patsy and me, we got tickets
to the Bears game in Chicago. We're

to Chicago this weekend.

Chicago? Now that's where the convention
is. You could ride down there with your

father and you could stay at his hotel.

I want to hang out with the guys. You
know, we got everything all planned out.

Ralph already borrowed his father's
bullhorn.

I'm not telling you that you have to go
with your father. I'm just simply

letting you know how I feel about this
subject.

All right.

than what, Arthur?

Look at the way he's dressed.

Well, he's dressed the way he's always
dressed. Am I wearing a tie?

Yes, you are, Arthur, and you look so
nice.

Thanks very much, Mrs. C.

You should look nice, too.

He looks fine, Fonz. Yeah, he looks fine
enough to wrestle a pig.

Not fine enough to go and visit his cute
little grandmother whose eyes crinkle

when she smiles.

So why should I get dressed up? I don't
want to hear about it. I don't want to

hear any more about how her house smells
funny.

She keeps pinching my cheeks.

Hey, she pinched my cheek for 13 years.
It's your turn.

That's what grandmothers are for.

And then she invites all her friends in
and makes me dance with them.

Actually, I like to watch that.

Fonz, I don't want to go.

Arthur, you can't force people to do
what you want them to.

Yes, I can.

You know, Howard asked Richard to go to
the leopard convention with him, and he

won't go, even though he knows how much
it means to his father.

Tell me that's not true.

Oh, Fonz, I came walking in here. I tell
you that I am filled with

disappointment.

I bring my cousin Chachi in here so he
can meet somebody he can look up to, and

you spit in my face.

I didn't spit. No, I've got to take my
cousin and find somebody he can really

look up to. Thanks, Evan.

All right, wait, wait, wait.

I thought it over. I changed my mind,
and I'm going with my dad to the

convention.

You want my opinion? Yeah. You ought to
visit your grandmother, Nussbaum.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's all right.

Have a good time.

I almost fell off my pedestal.

Oh, this is going to be great.

The leopards worked hard all year long,
and this weekend we can really let go

and act crazy.

isn't such a bad room.

It's a lot better than that fleabag we
dropped the fellas off at. Oh, yeah.

Well, this one's got beds.

Yeah.

Now, Richard, we are gonna have a
terrific weekend.

Yeah.

Look at this.

Your junior leopard fans.

Huh?

I was afraid you'd forget it.

I wouldn't want to be without that.

You wear it proudly, huh, Richard?

Why don't you start unpacking? Right.
I'm going to go on down to the lobby and

sign us in at the convention.

Oh, Richard, take a look at that other
suitcase.

It's got a million laughs in it. Right.

And thanks for coming.

I wouldn't have missed it, Dad.

Dribble glass.

My father's turned into Bozo the Clown.

Oh, yeah.

Hello, Mr. Hedges, Junior.

Boy, there's no fooling a Cunningham, is
there?

Hey, where's Howie? We're ready to go
out in the hall and start hiding the

maids' cleaning cards.

We might hide a couple of maids.

Oh, here's your convention kit.

Badge and everything.

Oh, yeah, thanks, Junior.

Well, listen, my dad went down to
register us, so I'm sure he's going to

any minute.

Hey, baby, that's Holly. Let's give him
a warm reception.

He's got his suit on and everything.

Yeah, it's pretty nice.

You know, somehow I never pictured my
dad as a man who would bring a whoopee

cushion.

Hey, it's the deluxe model.

I gotta tell you, though, this whole
thing of being a buddy with your dad, it

takes a little getting used to.

Well, here's the game plan, Rich.

Back in our hotel, there's a bunch of
stewardesses, and we're meeting three of

them tonight.

Are you telling me that you've lined up
a stewardess for yours truly?

You bet your butts, buddy boy.

That's right, Rich.

And this stewardess flies nonstop.

What are we waiting for? Get those
glasses off. All right.

Wait until you get one.

Wait until you get one. Richard, you'll
never guess what happened.

Donald and Junior were arrested.

No, no. I changed the seating
arrangement for the banquet tonight.

You see, instead of the vice poobah
sitting next to me, I told him I wanted

son to sit next to me. My pride. and
joy, looking up at me with a smile.

You didn't have to do that, Dad.

Well, I know I didn't have to, but I
wanted to.

Howie, quick!

Bernie's got ten girls trapped in the
revolving door.

He's going for my record.

Come on, Rich, you don't want to miss
this. Oh, and wear your fez, buddy.

What about the stewardess?

Guess I'm going to have to cancel my
flight.

Yeah, I'm going to a banquet with my
buddy.

to present to you my son, Richard, huh?

Richard,

Richard, return the welcome.

All right,

fellas, now just finish your dinner and
enjoy yourself.

Hey, how about this, Bobby?

right up here with the grand poof. What
do you think of that?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Go ahead.

Take a shot.

I mean, there's nothing wrong.

Richard. It's allowed. It's in the
bylaws. What's wrong with this guy?

You're a dud.

You asked for it, bucko.

This is a special moment.

When I heard that Howard Cunningham was
elected Grand Poobah, well, I was

thrilled. And surprised.

And disappointed.

And hurt.

In appreciation for all the wonderful
work you've done for the brothers at the

Leopard Lodge, well, here's just a
little token of that appreciation.

Gentlemen, if you please would.

What a bunch of guys.

Pretty pleased with sugar, actually.

Now open your mouth. Here comes the
train.

Okay, all the single men

line up for a kiss from the cake, girls.

I do his stuff.

Oh, no, no. I... I never kissed on the
first convention.

Oh, come on.

Why?

Well, uh... Come on.

Poor girl's been kissed enough, you
know? He's afraid.

I'll bet he's afraid.

Chicken!

Look,

fellas, fellas. Rich is just not in the
mood, that's all.

All right, guys. Look, uh... Let's have
some real fun.

Let's go outside and stop traffic, huh?

You want to come along?

No, I think I'll just stay in here.

Boy, they really made a mess here for
you, didn't they?

Do you think anybody would mind if I sat
down for a moment and caught my breath?

Oh, of course not. No, take a seat.

Oh, thank you.

There you go.

often? Not that often. I do it for extra
money.

See, I'm studying creative writing in
night school.

Oh, that's kind of a coincidence.

You jump out of cakes, too?

No, but I'm a journalism major.

Matter of fact, I brought some of my
articles that I've written to show the

people at the Chicago Tribune, and I
thought, I don't know, I'll take a shot.

You wouldn't be interested in reading
any of them, would you? I'd love to.

Uh, they're, uh, they're up in my room.

I don't mind. Let's go.

Let's go. Okay.

Where are you going, Richard? Oh, excuse
me. Dad, um, can I borrow the key to

the room? I just want to show her some
of the articles that I've written.

You're going to take this girl upstairs?

Yeah, do you mind?

I even quoted a Russian.

Oh, two, actually.

Hey,

how about that, Holly?

Your kid and the cake girl. Ring -a
-ding -ding.

Donald, why don't you get lost?

Good idea. Hide your eyes. Count to ten.
Come on, Junior.

Don't you think he's a doctor?

Hey, Howie, how's the convention going?

Hi, guys.

It's fine.

I'm just taking a quiet little break.

Why are you with the other guys? They're
outside wrapping the hotel in toilet

paper.

Well, my heart just wasn't in it.

Where's Rich?

Richard is upstairs with a girl who
jumped out of that cake.

No!

You've got a problem?

You see, I trust Richie.

And I know he's a good kid.

But it just doesn't seem right for me as
a father to hand him a key to a hotel

room, send him upstairs and tell him to
have a good time with a girl who jumps

out of cakes.

Well, if it bothers you so much, why'd
you do it? Yeah, because I wanted so

for us to be good buddies.

What do you think?

I don't know if it's our place to judge,
Mr. C. Well, it is. I'm asking you.

Oh. Yeah.

Well, Mr. C., we think of you as the
typical father.

Maybe a little heavier.

Mr. Cunningham, I want to tell you
something.

You know that me and my dad are great
buddies, right?

Dad and I joke around all the time, but
we hardly ever talk about anything

serious. And when I have to, it's...

It's very difficult for me to even
approach him.

First time I asked him a question about
sex, he giggled.

Like that.

You know, Mr. C, I have a strange
relationship with my dad, too. I told

had a problem once, and he said we'd
talk later.

That was eight years ago.

Face it, Mr. C, you are a great father.

That's right. Ozzie Nelson and Robert
Young rolled into one.

Maybe that's why I'm a little heavier.

Listen, Mr. C, maybe you should do what
you think a father should do.

Thanks, fellas.

Anytime, Mr. C.

Hey, Potts, we better get going. The
stewardesses are waiting.

All right.

You know, you really write well.

Well? Thank you. Thank you.

I'd like to read some of your stuff
sometime.

Yeah, I wish I brought something with
me.

Well, no pockets, huh?

I wrote something about jumping out of
cakes. Oh.

See, I was at this convention where I
had to kiss all the guys.

But this time they didn't line up.

So I had to sit on their laps and kiss
them.

Well, like this.

Excuse me.

Oh, no, no. It's all right.

key. Wherever could it be?

What's that?

Sounds like my dad trying to warn me
that he's coming into the room.

Here it is.

Oh, goody. It just fits into the lock.

Oh, goody. It fits.

Oh.

Excuse me. I thought you'd be finished
with the articles by now.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
I'll just... Oh, you weren't

interrupting. I was just leaving.

Oh, wait a minute.

Margo, I'm sorry about this.

It's nice meeting you.

Thanks.

If you come back next year, maybe I'll
finish my story.

girl. She's very nice, Dad.

You knew that we were up here. How could
you do this? Richard, I didn't bust in

on you. Oh, you didn't bust in, but
outside the door is as bad as busting

Oh, just forget it. All right.

Forget it.

No.

You're right.

I wasn't a buddy.

I came running upstairs here like a
father. But I got to tell you, Richard,

I am not.

out to be a buddy with you the way
donald is with junior i'm sorry who

want to be like them dad let me tell you
something

donald and junior have to be buddies
nobody else can stand them

you're right there just just know

that we've got something a whole lot
better than they have

You really think so?

Oh, Dad.

Look, all I can remember is my whole
life.

Any time that I've been confused or a
little down, maybe, like... Remember the

time we were playing that championship
basketball game?

I blew that free throw, we lost the
whole thing, huh?

Well, you were right there. You were
right by my side.

You even offered me a lifesaver.

times i didn't need a buddy i needed a
father and that's what you were to me

besides who'd want to have a an old
buddy when they could have a perfect

Listen, Richard.

Yeah?

I sure would love to pull just one buddy
-buddy prank before we go home.

You got it, Dad.

All right, what's it gonna be? What you
got in mind, huh?

See this?

Yeah? That's the key to Donald and
Junior's room.

What do you say we go in there and throw
all their luggage out the window, huh?

Yeah!

My great guy, hello, boo.

You can hold me when I hold you. It's
all right. It can't be wrong.

Rockin' and rollin' all the time.
