There's a time for love and a time for living. Take a chance and face the wind.

An open road and a road that gives you a brand new life around the bend.

Not so long that you might awake to a brand new life, a brand new life, a

new life around the bend.

Hello, ladies.

Where's Mona?

Mona who?

Hi,

Mona. Hi, Tony.

What's with Angela?

Tough day at the office?

Did Mona mess up your lunch on her again, Angela?

Yes, as a matter of fact, she did.

But I wouldn't be upset over a petty thing like that.

I wouldn't let her sit by the window on the train.

Well, it was my turn.

Hey, hey, hey.

Whatever happened to hi?

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Guess what?

I got asked to the party by the coolest kid in school.

You mean the Chad McCann? No, Angela.

The Todd Phillips.

is so great about him? It's the way he walks. And the way he smiles.

And the way he goes like this.

Hey,

wait a minute, wait a minute.

Samantha, I thought Chad was the coolest.

No, he's the cutest. Todd's the coolest.

What is the difference?

Don't you two know anything?

Tell him, Sam.

Okay, see, the cute guy... are the popular guys, and sometimes they're

not always. The cool guys are so cool, they don't need to be popular.

See, then there's a jock. Sometimes they're popular, but they're never cool.

knew that.

Don't forget the wannabes.

Glad you asked. They'll laugh at me.

Well, they'll laugh at me, too.

Well, you're used to it.

What's a wannabe?

nerds and other weirdoids.

And the lowest of the low, the audio -visual squad.

Now, wait just a second here, girls. I don't think this is right. I don't think

we should put labels on people. You know, I never did that when I was in

school. I was the coolest and the most popular and the jock.

I still can't believe he asked me.

Samantha, Samantha, let me ask you a question.

When is this party and where is it at?

Tonight in Todd's basement. It's the coolest basement.

Are his coolest parents going to be there?

Dad, I'm 14.

What's the difference? The difference is if they ain't there, you won't be

either. They'll be there. Of course they'll be there.

I think I better call.

There you go, Angela.

Hey, Jonathan.

I know they taste good, but you'd be surprised they taste better if you chew.

I've got to get over to Joey's. We're going to practice loading his father's

slide projector.

Oh, sweetheart, doesn't that sound like fun?

We have to be good to get on the audio -visual squad.

Don't worry, Angela. I think it's different in grade school.

Good morning.

How was your party last night? What do you mean?

What do you mean, what do you mean? You know, party, kids, music, onion dip.

That, it was fine.

That's all I could get out of the last night, too.

Morning!

What'd you do?

Stuff, stuff, stuff.

Come on, let's go up to my room. Okay.

Hey, hey, what about breakfast?

Oh, thanks.

Exuberant abuse.

Exuberant's my foot.

Something happened at that party last night, Angela. What do you mean?

Oh, you heard what Sam said.

Samantha said nothing happened.

Yeah, well, there's nothing happened, nothing happened. And there's something

happened, nothing happened. And I'm telling you, there's nothing to

What? Nothing.

So, how was it? I can't believe it. Your first time. Uh -huh.

So, let's see it. Okay, here it goes.

Major hickey.

That's almost as big as the one I had. Yeah, but it's got... better color.

And good placement, too, huh?

Oh, it's so beautiful.

So, how do you feel?

I don't know.

Different somehow.

What are you going to tell your dad?

Nothing. Are you kidding?

You can't wear that scarf forever.

Yeah. I'll get a neck brace.

sung by V.

Oh, yeah.

Hello, girls.

Good.

What are you doing here?

I was going to put away your laundry.

Those are Jonathan's.

Oh, gee.

My mistake.

What's the matter with your neck?

Why are you going like this?

It's a new dance. Yeah, everyone's doing it.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, and you can do it the other side, too.

No, you can't, Julia.

Oh, yeah, sure you can. Look.

Samantha, that's a hickey.

you could let this happen. I suppose you think this is cool.

Sort of.

That's it.

That's it, Samantha. You're grounded.

But, Dad, I have a date tonight.

That's what you think. That's what you think.

You're never going to see that boy again or any other cool boys or popular ones

or even a wannabe.

time when your child becomes sexually active.

I know I'm not looking forward to it.

Samantha is not sexually active.

Okay, I didn't mean active. I meant aware.

She's growing up.

Tony, Sam is a responsible...

Intelligent girl.

I'm sure she's not doing anything you weren't doing at her age.

Oh, madonna mia.

All right, look, let's stop talking about this, huh? Let's just forget it.

talk about something else, okay?

Okay.

Oh,

mother, would you hand me that sponge? The counter's a little sticky.

Hickey?

Did you say hickey? You said hickey, didn't you? You said hickey. You know

they call girls and get them things on their neck?

Popular? Tony,

you are overreacting.

Now, what is a hickey? A bruise.

A few broken blood vessels.

A simple glob of blood sucked to the surface of the skin.

Tony,

please, go talk to her.

She needs you.

confusing time for her.

For her?

It's a confusing time for her?

Every time I look at her, all I can see is some kid's face attached to her neck.

Can't leave her up in her room forever.

Why not? I'll feed her.

to someone else. A girl.

Ew, gross!

Hey, guys.

What's up?

Uh, nothing.

I brought you something to eat. Are you hungry?

No.

What do you want to do? Go out with Todd.

No.

Is that all you can say?

Samantha, I know you're mad at me, but we have to talk about this calmly and

rationally.

Oh, I cannot look at that thing.

Dad, it's no big deal. It's only a hickey. I know it's only a hickey.

It really doesn't mean anything, but... But what?

to other things.

No, it wouldn't, Dad. I wouldn't let it. Oh, sure. I know you try not to let it,

but guys can be very persuasive.

They'll say anything to get what they want.

Not Todd. He really cares about me. That's the first thing you're going to

They'll say anything.

They'll say men are different.

It's biological.

That they could die.

Samantha, in all of medical history, no man has ever died from a girl saying no.

Except Vinnie Ajiro.

When his girl said no, she was running over him in a Plymouth.

Look.

Sam, here's the thing.

I just wouldn't want you to do anything.

Anything that would make you feel uncomfortable.

Okay? Okay.

And most importantly, you gotta know that you can come and talk to me about

anything.

Well, Dad, about this grounded business... Oh, I know, I know. I

overreacted.

Hey, look, you're not grounded. It's starting tomorrow.

But what about tonight?

I think you need some time to sort this stuff out.

Oh, Dad, I could do that tomorrow.

I'm sorry, sweetheart. No date. Do you understand?

Yeah. I love you. I love you, too.

Hey, look. I'll tell you what.

You want to come downstairs?

No. I kind of want some time alone to sort things out.

That's my girl.

Bye.

It is a great date, isn't it?

The best.

You want to shoot some pool?

Yeah, sure.

Maybe we ought to just listen to music.

Okay.

Good music.

Yeah.

No thanks, Mom.

like you sam i like you too i really care about you

i really care about you todd what

don't do that oh i'm sorry i won't do it again i promise

going steady.

You're wearing my hickey.

Because what you're doing now is making me uncomfortable.

But, Sam, I told you I really care about you.

Yeah? If you really cared, you wouldn't ask me to do something I didn't want to

do. But, Sam, you see, it's different with guys.

It's biological.

Did you say biological?

Sure. Didn't you know that?

I don't believe you're saying this. It's true.

A guy could die if he stops.

A guy could get run over by a Plymouth if he doesn't.

Come on, Sam.

Todd, listen. I think I better go. Wait, why?

Don't go.

We could just talk.

We could play pool, and you can beat me.

I'd destroy you.

Come on, Sam.

I'm sorry.

Please don't go. It won't happen again.

Sam!

You are an

animal!

Mother, do you have any twos?

Go fish.

Tony, you got any twos?

Tony, you weren't paying attention.

I just asked Mother for... twos. Here you go, Tony.

Why

didn't you

give them to me?

I didn't like the way you asked.

Well, that is not very sporting of you, Mother.

I may quit.

Oh, great.

It's awful quiet up there, you know?

You think she's all right? She probably fell asleep.

Yeah. You know what? I think I'll go tuck her in.

I know this is corny, but I just feel so great about that talk we had. I feel

like we really connected.

Tony, communication is the bridge that spans the generation gap.

Parents and children just have to learn to listen to each other, right, Mother?

Oh, sorry, dear. What were you saying?

Oh, hey, who says raising a teenager is so tough, huh?

Bag of shells.

Dad?

There's my little girl now.

I was just going to go say something.

What are you doing down here? I mean, not up there.

I kind of snuck out of my room to see Todd tonight.

Well, then you better start talking fast, young lady.

Okay. I don't want to hear it.

I can't believe you do this, Sam.

I thought we had this great talking that we really understood each other.

But you didn't hear one word I said.

Yes, I did.

I just thought that you were wrong.

Of course.

You're 14.

I'm over the hill. What do I know?

May I say something?

Can I stop you?

Tony, you know how I hate to be a Budinsky.

No, dear, you like it.

It seems to me that Sam is trying to tell you something.

Listen to her.

Remember communication, the bridge?

The bridge?

The bridge is out.

You defied me, Samantha. You snuck out of this house to meet a boy that I said

was off limits.

Dad, I had a theme. I was afraid if I didn't show up, you wouldn't ask me out

again. Oh, Samantha.

But, Dad, when I got there, he did everything you said he'd do.

Everything?

He tried, but I didn't fall for it.

It's amazing.

You actually know what you were talking about.

I should have listened to you.

Well, maybe you will when I send you to the convent.

Tony, look. At least she came in the front door.

She could just as easily have sneaked back into her room.

Yeah.

If the trellis hadn't broken on my way out.

See? She told the truth again.

Well, I guess you did right by getting out of there and coming to me.

But you did wrong by sneaking out of this house, and I'm talking wrong.

So, now what?

I don't know.

What do you think, Angela?

Tony, I think you have to find the answer within yourself.

Gee, thanks.

The one time I need you.

Okay.

I guess I could ground you for disobeying me.

Or I could trust you for showing me how mature you are that you can handle

anything that happens.

You're grounded.

That is exactly what I would have said.

It's too late, Angela. You had your chance and you blew it.

There

you

go, Angela.

Good as new.

Thank you, Toby. You know, when you think about it, it really is kind of

romantic.

Sam liked Juliet climbing down the trellis to meet her Romeo.

Yeah, well, if Juliet's old man would have grounded her like he should have.

Them kids would have lived happily ever after.

Oh, hi, sweetheart.

Hi, Mom.

Honey, what's the matter?

I didn't make the audiovisual squad.

I lost out to Point Dexter Carp.
