There's more to life than what you're lit.

Take a chance and face the wind.

Open road and a road that's lit. Brand new life around the bend.

There were times I lost a dream or two.

Found a trail that at the end was you.

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

Nights are long, but you might awake to a brand new life, a brand new life, a

brand new life around the bend.

Mona. Oh!

Here's one for you.

Oh, I love you too, Dad.

You sure there's nothing else?

Oh, wait here.

Oh, smell.

That is some heavy aftershave.

That's Chad McCann.

And we'll keep it away from an open flame.

Was that the mail?

Anything for me?

Yeah, yeah, I think there's one for you.

Wonderful sweetheart.

Now all I need is a partner.

Well, what about Stephen, honey?

Mom, it's a junior -senior tournament.

I'm going to play with my dad. He's the best golfer.

Well, my dad is the best golfer, too.

Right, Mom?

Yes, sweetheart.

He is, and I'm sure that he would love to play with you. But you know, your

dad's real busy now that he's married again. You know, and he's living in

California.

You understand what I'm trying to say?

No.

Your dad's a no -show.

Oh.

Sweetheart, I'll play golf with you.

You? Yeah, we'll make a great team. Bauer power.

You'd better think fast, Bauer.

Mom, you're not my dad.

Everyone's going to be playing with their fathers.

Jonathan, I'm sorry, honey, but your father just cannot come.

Hey, I got an idea. How about if I play with you?

That's a wonderful idea. Isn't it, sweetheart?

Yeah. Just one thing. I want to win.

I got a gigantic card from a secret admirer. With the eighth grade, your

It's a commercial holiday anyway.

Dad, please tell me you didn't see anyone I know.

Just Chad McKinnon.

That's it. We have to move.

All right.

My dad and I are going to win this tournament.

Yeah, me and Tony are too.

Every year.

What makes you think he's going to be here next year?

Housekeepers come and go. Ours just quit.

Oh, well, how come?

Well, her brother became president of the country they're from.

Oh, well, Tony would never leave me.

Well, maybe your mom might fire him.

No, my mom really likes him.

Hey, maybe that's your angle. What do you mean?

Well, if you don't want Tony to leave.

Valentine's Day.

Well, you sure know a lot about life.

Well, I am eight and a half.

Oh, I'll get it.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Oh, thank you.

Well, isn't this nice?

I don't believe it. What is it, Mother?

They're for you.

Listen to this.

Dinner tonight, Chez Rene, 8 o 'clock. What do you say?

I wonder who could have sent these.

Well, it wasn't Robert Browning.

Angela, maybe it was that Frenchman you met at the Andersons' party last

Saturday? Oh, Jean -Jacques. Jacques -Jean.

You think he'd do something wild and romantic like this?

Well, the French did not get a kiss named after them for nothing.

He gonna go, Mom?

Oh, sweetheart, I don't know.

Oh, Angela, come on. For once in your life, go for the cheap thrill.

Whatever that means.

Well, I usually don't take offers like this. You usually don't get offers like

this.

It's Valentine's Day.

Oh, why not?

Oh, you footloose vixen, you.

All right, baby, that's it. That's it.

I don't know, but whoever she is, she's got great taste.

Watch, watch, watch, watch.

Listen to this.

You're a real hunk. The apple of my eyes.

Come to Chez Rene at 8, and you gotta wear a tie.

You like the poem, huh?

Maybe it's that redhead I met at the fruit stand.

She was red and delicious, I'll tell you.

someone even better.

You know something? I think you're right, huh? I mean, what do I got to

It's Valentine's Day, right?

Some mysterious stranger invited me to a fancy, romantic restaurant.

Oh, I'd go.

That's what you'd think.

Come on, come on, come on.

Get going, get going.

Hey, I'm Tony Masselli, and I'm here.

To make a lucky lady's Valentine wish come true.

Which one is she? She has just arrived.

Oh, yeah, yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute.

How's she look?

Magnifique.

Especially if Monsieur is a leg man.

I am, I am.

Lead the way, René.

Here is the lucky lady.

in the air.

Angela,

Angela.

Tony, Tony.

I don't know what to say.

Well, I think your poem said it all.

My poem?

Yeah, you know, you're a real hunk, the apple of my eye.

Come to Chez René at eight and you gotta wear a tie.

Do you like it?

Well, I love the tie, but I didn't write that dreadful poem.

Look, you just wanted me to be your Valentine, and now you're just too

admit it. Tony, you want me to be your Valentine. That's why you invited me to

dinner. I invited you?

Dream on.

You didn't invite me?

You didn't invite me?

And what are we doing here?

Yeah, wait a minute. Hey, yo, yo, oh, monsieur.

Come here. Oui, monsieur.

There must be some mistake. I gotta be at the wrong table here.

Mais non, monsieur.

Your host was perfectly clear.

Monsieur, monsieur.

Hey, madame Bauer.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

Our host?

We have a host?

Ah, yes.

And he asked to remain anonymous.

Yeah? Who is he?

Chez René will not say.

Can you give us a hint?

Your host is Monsieur Bauer.

Monsieur Bauer?

Michael? My ex -husband is paying for this?

If Michael's paying, I ain't eating.

Oh, wait. Come on, let's get out of here. You know, you're absolutely right.

Let's get out of here.

Wait a minute.

Michael wants to ply us with gourmet food at his expense.

Let's get plied.

Oh, madame. Monsieur.

Oh, I think it says, say a vous.

Very good.

Hey, Renee, bring some champagne.

Don Perignon.

Yeah, hey, I don't want to see that bucket empty all night. Who knows, maybe

later we'll take a bath in it.

Separately, of course. Of course.

Well, Angela's out late tonight.

No, it's only 10 o 'clock.

For Angela, that's late.

So, where'd she go?

She has a rendezvous with a mysterious stranger.

That's amazing.

I know.

No, no, the same thing happened to Dad.

He got invited to Chez René by some lady who writes really bad poetry.

Angela, is that Chez René?

No. Well, let me know when they get home.

Wait, wait, wait, wait just one minute here.

What do you mean by Mom and Tony?

What do you know about this?

Oh, did I say Mom and Tony?

Oh, I meant Mom or Tony.

Or Mom.

Or Tony.

Or anyone at Chez Rene.

Valentine's Day?

Uh, how could you do that?

Well, it was easy.

I gave them Mom's credit card.

They won't take a credit card from an eight -year -old kid.

They will if you wrap it in a 20.

Oh, wasn't that deal delicious?

Oh, hey, don't forget the shrimp cocktail, the caviar quiche, the lobster

souffle, the chateaubriand with truffles. The chocolate mousse, the

jubilee, the raspberry tart.

Oh,

wait till Michael sees this bill.

Wouldn't have it to a nicer guy.

Tony, I had a wonderful time, even if I didn't fall in love.

You didn't?

Well, I could spend the rest of my life with that chocolate mousse.

Can't stay here all night. Yeah, let's blow this pop stand.

Oh, wait.

Allow me, Renee.

Allow me. Here you go.

Take that out of the way. There you are.

Your place or mine.

I see everything has worked out at the right time. Oh, Renee, thank you. Oh,

Tony, wait.

If we go home together, then they'll think we were out together.

We were out together.

Well, I know, but I don't want the children to get the wrong idea, and

has always had it.

All right, look, I'll tell you what. Let's keep this our little secret, okay?

Okay. Come on, let's go.

Hello, children.

Hello, mother.

Hello, daughter.

Hey, Mom.

Where's your daddy?

Oh, uh... Jean -Jacques? He had to leave.

Back to France.

Au revoir, JJ.

No, Mom.

Where's Tony?

Tony? I don't know.

How would I know?

Hello, everybody.

Oh, there he is.

Hello, Tony.

Hello, Angela. My, my.

What a lovely dress. I don't think I've seen it before. You haven't, and I love

that tie.

Oh, you like this tie? How was the date?

Oh, you know, I've had better.

I'm sure you have.

But you were supposed to be together.

What?

Now, wait a minute, pal. What do you mean we were supposed to be together?

Because that's how I planned it.

You what?

I set it up.

You're Mr.

Bauer?

You ought to know you're his mother.

Jonathan, where did you get the money to pay for a dinner like this? It was over

$300.

Hold it, hold it.

I want a good seat for this one.

I used your credit card.

Knew I should have asked for a doggy bag.

Now, Jonathan, I don't know what kind of a stunt you've pulled, but you better

have a very good explanation. Now, you tell me why you did this.

I wanted you and Tony to get married.

Kids say the darndest things.

Oh, sweetheart.

Tony and I aren't getting married.

Well, you could.

You are not married.

He's not married.

You like him.

He likes you.

Even after he's seen you in your bathroom.

Oh, sweetheart.

That's not enough of a reason to get married.

Then why do people get married?

Well, Jonathan, you know, first you gotta love each other, you know?

Well, you two love each other, don't you?

Sweetheart, there are all kinds of love. There's the way you love your family.

And the way you love your snake.

And the way you love your housekeeper.

Good night, Mother.

Well, I'd love to stay and see you weasel out of this one, but my

Day is just beginning.

Sweetheart, come here.

Tony and I love each other.

But like friends, not like married people.

But what's the difference?

S -E -X.

Oh,

is that all?

Then why don't you just have that and get it over with?

don't you? Good night,

Sam.

Good night, Dad.

Good night. Good night, Mom.

Sweetheart, what is all this about?

I don't want Tony to go away.

Wait a minute. Whoa.

What makes you think I'm going anywhere?

You can move away and get another job, or your brother might become president

Brooklyn.

You lost me on the Brooklyn part.

But, hey, I ain't getting another job.

What if you change your mind and go away like Daddy did?

Jonathan, I can't promise you that I'm always going to live here,

but one thing that's never going to change is, We're best buddies, right?

Yeah. And one thing that best buddies never do is let each other down.

No, they don't.

Now, look.

Look, listen to me.

I don't got to be married to your mom to be here for you anytime and every time

you need me.

Okay?

Okay, Tony. That's my boy.

But maybe someday you and mom will change your mind and have sex anyway.

whole thing tony we ate more than the whole thing i

think it was that caviar quiche it was the chocolate mousse

and the cherry jubilee and the whipped cream sorry

Happy Valentine's Day.

Thank you, Tony.

And by the way, you do look kind of cute in that bathrobe.
