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

An open road and a road that's hidden. A
brand new life around the bend.

There were times I lost a dream or two.

Found a trail and at the end was you.

There's a path you take and a path not
taken.

The choice is up to you, my friend.

Not so long, but you're not awake to a
brand new life.

Brand new life. A brand new life around
the game.

Hey, Henry.

It's me, Tony.

Yeah. Hey, look, I'm bringing the whole
crew down there for dinner tonight, huh?

Five hungry hombres ready to chow down
on your Peking duck.

Hey, listen, make sure you make a lot,
because Sam's coming.

Yeah. Hey, and don't forget, no
chopsticks for Angela.

Still on the ceiling, huh?

Yeah, okay, Henry, I'll see you later.
Keep on walking.

It wasn't my fault. They have a very low
ceiling.

Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.

Hey, Jonathan, what are you going to do?
You going to order the octopus again?

Oh, yeah. It's really great when I
squeeze that little pouch and all the

goes all over the rice. It looks like
black spit.

Anyone for Italian?

Okay. Oh!

Oh, Monska.

Ooh, hey.

All decked out for Henry's Peking duck,
eh? No, for Henry.

He slips the cutest little fortunes into
my cookies.

I have to change. No, no, Sam, Sam, you
don't have to change.

Tonight we're going to the Shanghai
Nacherie and it's totally cash.

Oh, Dad, about dinner tonight.

I won't be able to make it. Jesse and I
have plans.

Oh, come on, Sam. Jesse again?

You're spending every spare minute with
that kid.

You even canceled out the Ranger game
with me. Oh, Dad, come on. This is

important. We're going to go to the
observatory.

Saturn is aligning with Antares tonight.
That only happens once every hundred

years.

Can't you catch it next time?

All right, all right. I hope you and
your planets will be very happy. Great.

Come on, Angela. Help me pick out an
outfit. It has to look great in the

No, we'll put you together. You'll run
rings around Saturn.

Gee whiz, Mona.

This is serious, this relationship.

She never turned down Peking Duck
before.

Congratulations, Tony. You are the proud
father of a perfectly normal teenage

girl. Well, let me tell you, Mona, it's
murder.

It's murder, I tell you.

How did you ever get through these years
with Angela?

Easy. I sent her to school in
Switzerland.

All right.

What's the scoop?

How did you know?

Well, I knew you wouldn't ask me for my
fashion advice. Everything I wear

matches.

Okay, Amber, this is really important.

The kind of thing that only a fellow
woman would understand.

Well, you came to the right fellow.

Okay, you're the only person over 15
that has ever heard this.

Jesse asked me to go steady.

Oh, that's so wonderful.

I'm so happy for you. Oh, I just love
Jesse. He's so cute and he's so smart

he has a real social conscience.

Tell me, last night we had a walkout on
Snow White because of its degrading

portrayal of dwarves.

Don't tell him I saw it seven times.

I don't know. It's weird. I always
pictured myself like the captain of the

football team.

How did I ever fall for someone with
debt?

Well, that's often the way it is. You
know, the guy you fall in love with

anything like the guy you fantasize
about.

Did you have a dream, ma 'am? Oh, yes.
Yes. When I was a kid, I was a good

man.

Something about a guy with a change
belt.

I kind of had eyes for the warm pretzel
man.

Well, when I got older, I had this
romantic vision of an investment banker.

And he was very Brooks Brothers.

Blue pinstripe suit vest.

Club tie.

White sweatshirt. I mean a white...
White dress shirt.

Sam, did you cut my ranger's jacket
again? Oh, yeah. Sorry, Dad. Here it is.

I hope you don't mind Chanel number
five.

Oh, no, no.

Don't go with my brute.

Is everything okay up here? I thought I
heard a squeal.

It was me.

I thought I saw a mouse, but it was
Sam's bunny flippers.

Sam, I told you a million times, when
you're not wearing them things, lock

up.

All right, but look, come on, let's go,
because my egg drop soup is getting

cold.

So, when are you going to break the news
to Mr. Chanel No. 5? Well, that's

really what I wanted to talk to you
about.

Angela, what do I say?

What's he going to say? Where do I hide?

He'll be fine.

The best way to handle it is just be
direct and honest.

I know.

I'm going to tell him.

Maybe the next time Saturn aligns with
Antares.

Sam, Sam.

don't underestimate your father.

He loves you, and he wants only the best
for you.

I know, but he still thinks of me as a
little girl. He thinks that milk and

cupcakes make me happy.

Works for me.

Your father may surprise you, you know?

People learn.

People grow. People change.

People explode.

What is the holdup? My grandson is
hungry.

No, I'm not. If I say you're hungry,
you're hungry.

Hey, what's the holdup? All right, all
right.

They're up there doing girl things. I
didn't want to rush them. Oh, I see.

I'll give them a little hint.

Thanks. I'm sorry.

Angela, get your butt down here!

Oh. I got it, I got it.

Oh, hey. Jesse, hey, how you doing?

What's new in the produce business?

Ah, rough day. The Hennessy kids got
loose again. They put the Macintoshes in

with the delicious and the wine saps in
with the pippins. It was an apple

nightmare. I think I saw the movie,
yeah.

What do you got there?

Oh, something for Sam and something for
you.

Ah, Jesse, you shouldn't have. They're
beautiful.

They're really you, Tony. Yeah, Sam's
gonna love that melon, too.

I'll take that.

Jonathan, come on. We're hungry.

So, did Sam tell you about our plans?
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.

And? Well, I'll tell you the truth. At
first, I was a little upset, and I'm

gonna miss her. But, hey, it's just more
duck for me, huh?

Well, I guess that's one way of looking
at it.

Hi,

Jesse. Oh, hi, Sam.

These are for you.

Thank you.

Well, we better get going.

Bye, Tony. Oh, and thanks for being so
understanding about things.

Things? What things?

About us.

You talked to him about us?

Yeah, he said it was cool.

He said it was just more duck for him.

He's so colorful.

Duck, Jesse, I don't think we're talking
about going to study here.

Going steady?

Going steady?

Who said anything about going steady? He
did.

I did? You didn't? No. I said we should
have a mutually exclusive paired

relationship.

A what?

A what?

Jesse, where did you get that from?

New York Times Magazine.

The About Men column.

Yeah.

Well, you should have read the About Sam
column, because I want to go steady.

Sam, that's so conventional.

I just don't see it that way.

All right.

Let's get the opinion of an impartial
third party.

My dad impartial?

Please, he's been turned down for jury
duty eight times.

So, Tony, we need some advice here.

You got it. Don't go steady.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Who needs those kind of labels? Yes,
Sam, those labels. They're so yesterday,

you know?

You know, Jesse, you are wise beyond
your years.

Dad, you're pushing it beyond belief.

Jesse, what is wrong with going steady?

Well, that goes against my philosophy.

Mine too.

We should have a mutually exclusive
paired relationship.

Absolutely. What is that?

It means we have a psycho -spiritual
interfacing of goals and values.

In English.

We only hang out with each other.

But wait a minute, Jesse. Isn't that the
same thing as going steady?

Yeah.

You know, I never thought of it that
way.

Sam, if it makes you happy, what the
heck, let's just go steady.

Oh, Jesse, that was beautiful.

I accept.

Thank you, Dad.

Thanks a lot.

You know, you're wise beyond your years.

Hey, Jesse, if we're going to go steady,
I'm going to need a ring.

Oh, wait, how about my Save the Whales
pin?

Ah, close enough.

I was doing fine until that interfacing
stuff.

How does this sound?

Samantha Maselli Nash.

Too long.

Sam Nash?

Sounds like a private eye.

How about this one? Samantha Nash
Maselli with a hyphen.

Ooh, good.

Ethnic and yuppie.

I had kids for Christmas.

First comes love, then comes marriage,
then comes Sam with a baby carriage.

Keep it up, Jonathan, and you're not
coming to my wedding.

Oh, you're breaking my heart.

Well, kissy -kissy.

So what do you want to do now?

Hide Jonathan to an anthill and pour
syrup on him.

After that.

I don't know. Let's go to the mall. I
want to pick out a China pattern and get

corndog, okay?

Hey, hey, hey. Where are you kids off
to? We're going to check out flatware.

Bye. See ya.

Flatware. Must be a new group.

Oh, Tony, you are one tough trainer.

But I love that feeling when you've
pushed yourself to the limit.

It gives you a real sense of
accomplishment.

Yeah, maybe next time you make it around
the whole block.

Hey, don't push it, bub.

It's all right, though. I mean, at least
I got somebody to jog with now that

Samantha doesn't have time for her old
man.

Well, she's not spending all her time
with Jesse. No, she's spending time with

Bonnie. She's hanging out at the mall.

And reading New Bride magazine?

And look at this.

Ten tips for a happy honeymoon, and it's
dog -eared.

I can't believe this is happening to me.

Tony, all little girls fantasize like
this.

But that doesn't make it right.

If you're this upset, why don't you just
talk to her about it?

I don't know, Angela. I just feel funny
talking to her about bride things.

You want me to do it? No!

Tony, this isn't at all what you think
it is. This is very innocent. Listen to

this. Hint one, make travel plans early.

Hint two, never hang your pantyhose on
the shower run.

Hint three, always go to bed with a
smile.

The trick is how to wake up with a
smile.

Would you go home? Go home. Go home,
yes. Would you go home?

Maybe I'm just not put out to be the
parent of a teenager.

Oh, Tony, you're doing just fine.

Angela, it's like a runaway train.

The brakes are shut.

Why does she have to go steady?

Why can't she look around, see other
guys, stay in her room?

Tony, I know these are difficult years,
but you should be glad that Sam is going

with a guy like Jesse.

He's still a guy.

At least he's not a guy like Brian
James.

Who's he?

Oh, he's a quarterback at Sam's school.

Suffice it to say, when he yells
touchdown, he's not talking football.

Since when did you start keeping stats
on high school jocks?

Well, Sam mentioned it when we were
talking about her wanting to go steady.

Oh, she talked to you about going
steady.

When?

Right before she told you.

Oh.

Don't be upset. Come on.

You're a wonderful father.

You are, but you just can't be
everything to your daughter.

You know, sometimes she just needs a
woman to talk to. Well, what's wrong

me?

Wait, Sam. Don't go in yet. I want to
show you something. What?

Have a seat.

Know what this means?

You like hopping on benches?

It's pretty literal, Sam.

My spirit is uplifting. A certain
buoyancy has permeated my being.

You mean you're happy?

You really cut through it, Sam.

Well, happy anniversary.

We've been going steady for 19 hours.

And they said it wouldn't last.

You know, I had my doubts at first about
this steady thing. I thought I'd feel

trapped and labeled.

But I don't. I feel free and alive.

Don't you?

Yeah.

Sam, do I detect a note of bummed out
here?

I don't know.

Something's missing.

Since we've been going out at all,
things have changed.

I know what it is.

Our personalities have become so fused
that you've lost your sense of self.

You've become a mere shell of a person.
An empty vacuum of nothingness.

No, I don't think that's it.

I didn't think so.

Well, is it me, Sam?

Do I have annoying habits?

A few.

But I don't think that's it either.

Well, is there another guy?

No! Of course there isn't. I mean, when
would you have time? We spend almost

every waking moment together.

That's it.

That's what's bothering me.

Spending time together?

No, Jesse.

There is another guy.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, Sam. Got a minute?

Yeah, I think I got the dust balls
cornered.

What's up?

I kind of wanted to talk to you about
Jesse and me.

Oh, well, have a seat.

Anything wrong?

No. Well, he did want to save the
whale's pin back to wear to a rally, but

gave me his Amnesty International tie
clip for it. Oh.

Other than that, everything's fine. Oh,
good, good. So, you want to borrow a

necktie?

Dad, this going steady thing is a really
big deal for me. And it's great.

But I don't know.

Something's missing.

Oh, you mean like, you know, seeing your
other friends or other guys?

No.

You.

I never really had a chance to talk to
you about it, and...

I don't know. I guess I kind of raced by
on that one.

I know. I still have the tire marks on
my face.

I don't know, Dad. I mean, you and I
have been together for a really long

and you've always been there for the
major moments.

Hey, that's my job.

Dad, you remember that time I was in the
school play, and I forgot a line, and

everybody started laughing? Yeah.

And you threatened to beat up every
member of the audience?

Individually? Oh, that was so sweet.

Hey, but you would have got that
standing ovation anyway.

I don't know. I mean, I really like
growing up and being independent and

my own decisions.

Yeah? Do I hear a butt in there?

It's kind of a butt.

I guess I just miss knowing that you're
out there in the audience.

Oh, honey, I'm still there. I just don't
have those good seats anymore. I'm

sitting in the back, you know.

Now, from where you're sitting, how does
this going steady thing look?

Oh, Sam, I think it's a little too late
to talk about it.

Better late than never.

Dad, I really want your opinion on this
one. I mean...

If you don't want me to go steady with
Jesse, I won't. Even though you'll be

breaking the hearts of two terrific
kids.

Well, as long as there's no pressure.

So you... You want my honest opinion,
right?

Right. I don't want you to go steady.

Do I hear a button there?

You're getting good, Sam.

See, the butt is that... I mean, even
though I'm not wild about the idea,

it's... It's really not my decision.

Good.

Of course, I would be happier if you
were happier.

Oh, well, I'm happy enough.

I mean, if you gotta go steady, I'm glad
it's with Jesse.

I can't think of another kid I'd rather
have as a steady -in -law.

Thanks, Dad.

You're better than Billy Joel.

Oh, well, thanks, honey. I love you just
the way you are.

Yeah, I guess, sure.

You're a free agent, almost.

Good. Then how would you like to take an
almost free agent out for Peking Duck?

Just me and you?

You got it.

Oh, I'll have the prettiest girl in
town.

Oh, come on.

Let's go chow.

I'll tell you what, we'll see if
Angela's food's still on the ceiling.

you say?

With Sam getting so interested in
astronomy, I think I might buy her a

for her next birthday.

Make that two.

There's a hunky widower down the street
with a broken window shade.

Oh, my favorite family all together,
huh?

Where's my favorite daughter?

Come on, everybody.

I want to show you what I learned at the
observatory. You have to see the sky.

It is so beautiful.

There's a jillion stars out.

Yeah, you know, if I would have had my
druthers.

I would have been an astronomer.

Do we have to go now? I've got Grandma
on the ropes.

Gin?

Oh, let's see those stars.

Wait a minute, Sam. Do you mean to tell
me you sat in the dark with Jesse and

you just looked at the stars?

Yeah, Mom.

That's my girl.

Oh.

I love stargazing.

Makes you realize we're just a speck of
dust on the head of a pin in the pin

cushion of the universe.

Yeah, that's funny because I always
think of us as a stitch on the baseball

big guy's glove.

Oh, look, there's the Big Dipper.

You know, it's amazing.

It's the same sky that the cavemen
looked at.

Yeah, and the people in the 50s.

It looks like a diamond tiara.

It looks like a giant connector doll
puzzle.

Looks like Rockefeller Center at
Christmas.

Oh, I love this galaxy.

Stay tuned for a show filled with
sibling rivalry, love triangles,

and dashing airline pilots.

Cheesy primetime drama?

No, modern classic sitcom.

Wings is next, right here on Nick at
Night.
