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

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. A brand new life. A

new life. Don't run.

Mason, how are you?

I'm in pain.

Mason,

do you know what time it is?

It's 347. I hope I didn't wake you.

No, no, I had to get up to open the door anyway.

I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Metzeli, but the football players ran me out of

dorm. Well, was it the pajamas?

They didn't help.

The main thing was I was so busy studying for my finals, I didn't have

do the team's homework.

Well, couldn't you talk your way out of this? I mean, you do have an IQ of 180.

Yeah, but the nose guard weighs 340.

Oh, company!

Angela, what...

What are you doing up? Oh, just having a midnight snack.

It's 3 .47.

3 .49.

Mason,

what brings you by?

He needs a place to stay for tonight.

Actually, for a few nights, just until finals are over.

Oh, I understand. I don't want to be a bother. I'll just sleep at the bus

station.

Do you guys have a small blanket or a hefty bag?

Okay, Mace, here you go. The old snooze cocoon, huh?

This is going to be just like camping out, only with central heating.

This isn't down, is it? Because I'm allergic to down.

No, it's pure cotton.

Oh, good.

I'm allergic to cotton, too, but I have a pill for that.

Do you want some water with that?

Not if it comes out of the tap.

Oh, gee.

You're going to be such a fun bunkmate.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey, this is pretty comfortable.

What is it? What is it? What is it? There's something in there. I think it's

dead. All right. All right.

Stand back. Stand back. Be careful. All right.

All right.

Just kidding, mate.

But it is dangerous, you know, candy.

Candy causes cavities.

Am I a dunderhead?

Yeah.

And Samantha's a slob. She uses my sleeping bag and then she doesn't clean

up. Mr. Maselli, could you please not talk about Sam like that?

Mase, what are you, you still carrying a torch for Sam?

Oh, no, Mr. Maselli, the torch is out.

Well, actually, it's on hold.

You see...

I have this 15 -year plan.

Sam and I go our separate ways.

I pursue my career in kinetic physics.

Sam marries a vacuous hunk and has six vacuous kids.

It's not working out, but she's reluctant to get a divorce.

Well, I raised her right.

Finally, she can't take it anymore.

There's a bitter divorce that leaves her shattered, depressed, and craving

coffee.

She wanders into a chock full of nuts.

And there I am, dunking a powdered donut.

She wipes the powder from my nose and falls hopelessly in love.

We get married. I adopt her six kids. They all call me Pops.

I win the Nobel Prize in physics, and we live happily ever after.

Gee, that's a lovely story, Mason. Yes, yes. And it would be great to have you

in a family, but what do you say? Let's get some sleep. Okay, pal.

Okay.

Good night, Mason.

Night, Dad.

Okay, Mace, what's it gonna be? We got granola, we got eggs, and we got whole

wheat pancakes.

Oh, what a kid, Dad.

Got any powdered donuts?

You, you're having pancakes.

Good morning.

Isn't it a lovely day?

Who are you?

Oh, Mona.

You remember Mason?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Mason. Get out of my chair, bub.

Come on, Mother. Work calls. We're going to miss our train. I haven't had my

breakfast yet.

You work better hungry.

Jonathan, look.

Thank you.

Morning,

Dad. Morning, Jonathan. Morning, Mason.

Mason? Oh, hi, Sam. Guess what? I moved in.

I got finals coming up, and you know... Uh, well, he was having a communication

problem with some of his classmates. The nose guard was using him as a tackling

dummy.

Jonathan, Jonathan, how would you like that to happen to you?

Well, it does.

That's why I feel so close to this guy.

Later, dude.

Come on in.

Good morning, everybody. How's my favorite extended family? All right.

what do you think, pal? Hey.

Hi, Sam. Hi, Jesse.

You look great.

Thanks. So do you.

Hey, what'd you do to your hair?

Uh, I combed it.

It really works.

Oh, I'm glad.

Sam, look, don't you want to introduce somebody?

Who? Oh, yeah.

Jesse, this is Mason. He lives here.

Don't worry. I'm no threat.

Well, we better get to school. I want to buy tickets for the skating party.

Well, actually, Sam, I kind of wanted to talk to you about that. This guy called

and asked if I could fill in for him at the animal shelter Friday night.

Oh, no, not Friday night.

Sam, those mutts really need me.

What about this mutt?

Come on, Sam, just because I can't go doesn't mean you can't. Alone?

You don't have to go alone.

You can go with somebody else.

Who? I don't know.

Anybody.

Mason.

Me? Oh, no, I don't think so. I've got a lot of work to do.

And I'm not that good on ice.

I'm not even that good on pavement.

Come on, Mace. You'll be great. You'll have a good time. I can see you now,

gliding gracefully over the ice. You know, huh? You got insurance?

You're gliding.

You know what I'm saying?

Huh? Huh?

So tell me, Sam, the last time I fell down, how many skaters did I take with

were there.

Oh, I had a really great time tonight, Sam.

Good night.

Wait a minute.

You live here, Thunderhead.

Oh, yeah.

My dad's in here, okay? Okay.

Wait a minute.

Where is he? He always wakes up when I'm on a date. You're not on a date,

Thunderhead.

If this were a date, I'd be hyperventilating. I have a very low

threshold.

Don't be so down on yourself. You're a lot of fun to be with. Really?

You're a very attractive guy.

Except for that mustard on your teeth. Oh, where?

Here, let me.

Mason? Mason?

Are you okay?

Get a bag!

42!

43!

Yahoo!

Hey, Mason, didn't your mother ever tell you to knock before you Yahoo?

Mr. Maselli.

You won't believe what just happened.

They had a breakthrough in nasal decongestants?

I wish.

But it's even better.

Sam and I were talking and laughing and having fun, and she wiped some mustard

off my cheek, and then she... All right, all right. Make it

easy. Make it easy. Calm down.

Calm down.

She kissed me.

Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. It was just an accident, right? She just

bumped into your lips.

Oh, it was no accident. It was just like I planned.

Except it was the living room instead of chalked walnuts.

It was mustard instead of powder.

And it was tonight instead of 2003.

I can't believe it.

Neither can I. Don't worry, Mr. Maselli. It was all very harmless, but

intoxicating.

Well, look, I'll be right back. You stay here and, hey, sober up.

Anybody home?

Come on in.

Hi, sweetheart.

You know, you didn't come in and say goodnight. Is everything okay?

Of course, goodnight.

All right, sweetheart.

Hey, can I get you anything? A snack, some water, some chapstick?

Sam, Sam, I thought you didn't like Mason that way.

I don't. I thought you were going steady with Jessie. I am.

I'm confused.

Me too.

Well, Sam, come out of there so we can talk about this. I don't want to talk

about it. I don't want anyone else to know. I just want us to forget about it.

Hi, what's going on?

Sam, kiss Mason.

Oh, I'm sorry. Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't get a chance to lock it in. Oh,

worry about it, honey. I won't tell anybody. It won't go beyond these four

walls. What won't go beyond these four walls?

You did?

Well, finally, some action around this house.

Come on, Sam.

Give me detail.

Detail. How could I do it?

What kind of person am I? Am I destined to grow up and drift from one tawdry

affair to another?

Worked for me. I don't know how I'm going to face Jesse tomorrow.

Well, it's simple, Sam. If you feel this way, you just tell him. Tell him. him.

You never tell them.

Mona, what if he hears about it from somebody else?

Deny it.

Mona, that is deceitful and devious.

You know, actually, there is something in what Mother is saying.

You agree?

I better rethink this.

Wait a minute, Angela. What are you talking about?

Honesty. Honesty is the best policy.

that's not just black and white. There are many shades of gray.

Do my ears deceive me? Are you peddling dishonesty? I'm peddling dishonesty. I'm

peddling a reasoned and rational approach to relationships. Wait, wait,

Let me get this straight. What? We're going out. You kiss a guy behind my

You don't tell me? It depends on the circumstances. What circumstances? There

are a lot of circumstances.

Hi, Sam.

Look, I've been thinking about what happened last night and... What are you

doing? Oh, I'm packing my underwear around my portable humidifier so it

scratch my negative ion generator.

You mean you're leaving?

Sam, last night was a magical moment.

But I've done a lot of thinking since then.

I really, really like you, but you're too mature for me.

I'm not ready for this kind of passion.

But, Mason, I was just... Please, Sam.

Just go.

Heavenly.

Tony, you make the best pancakes.

Oh, really?

Are you being totally honest with me, Angela?

I mean...

How do I know you don't walk out of here, eat some other guy's pancakes, and

tell him the same thing?

Tony, I don't eat around.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

How are you, Sam? Great. I just got dumped.

What? Mason, he let me down easy, which means that I don't have to let him down

easy, which would have been hard.

Come in, come in.

Oh, Jesse.

So, how'd it go down at the animal shelter?

What a feeling. I brought six chihuahua puppies into the world. Oh, wow.

Congratulations, a canine midwife, huh?

You did wash your hands, right? Yes, I did.

So, Sam, how's your skinning going?

Well, actually, Jesse, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Okay. In there.

All right.

I decided you were right, Dad. I'm going to tell Jesse the truth.

There's a lot you can learn from that little girl.

Well, what is it, Sam?

Remember when we first started going steady and we promised to always be open

and honest with each other?

Yeah.

Well, you see, last night at the skating party, you really... delivered six

chihuahuas? Yeah.

Her contractions started right in the middle of our Spuds McKenzie lookalike

contest.

Jesse, you are so funny. You crack me up.

I kissed Mason last night.

What?

I kissed Mason.

Mason? Where?

Right over there.

No, no, I mean on the lips.

Yeah.

I see.

So you see, Angela, a relationship is like a delicate flower.

You've got to feed it, you've got to nurture it, and you've got to sprinkle

with the water of honesty.

Then, and only then, will it bloom.

Provided you keep shoveling fertilizer on it.

Don't toy with me, Angela.

Well, Sam, did you tell him?

Yeah. What did he say?

He said, I see.

And then I told him that it would never happen again.

Well, what did he say to that?

I see.

Well, wait a minute.

Didn't he say anything else?

Sure. He said that trust was the most important thing in a relationship and

he was really glad that I was totally honest with him.

And then he dumped me.

I see.

Who is it?

It's me. Well, that narrows it down.

Oh, hiya, Jesse.

Oh, you're here to see Sam, huh?

Uh, yeah, but actually I wanted to talk to you first.

Oh, yeah? Well, come on. Pull up a sofa. What's on your mind?

Well,

I guess Sam told you what happened, right?

Yeah. Well, after I left, I got to thinking, man. I had no right to

at Sam.

Because I'm not without sin myself.

What do you mean?

Well, I kissed Debbie Borowski.

That's it?

Well, that's enough, isn't it?

I mean, Sam and I were going steady at the time.

I don't know what came over me.

Well, actually, it was Denny Borowski.

He's kind of aggressive.

But I guess I could have fought a little harder.

Well, we do what we can.

Anyway, after what I did, I realized I had no right to walk out on Sam like

that. Well, that's right, Jesse. That's right. So now you're kissing your makeup

and everything's fine. Oh, I wish it was that simple.

When I tell them the truth, you may never want to talk to me again.

But still, I have to be honest.

Don't you agree?

No.

No?

I'm surprised to hear you say that.

Yeah, well, it kind of snuck up on me, too.

But you see, this honesty thing, it can be overrated, you know, especially when

it comes to hurting Sam's feelings.

But still, I... I feel it's important to be totally truthful.

Oh, Jesse, my boy. My boy, Jesse, you know, you know, it's not always black

white in this world. Sometimes it's gray.

There's a lot of gray. Gray all over the place.

Jesse, what are you doing here?

Sam, there's something I have to tell you. No, no, no, don't, don't, Jesse,

don't. I'm sorry, Tony, but I just can't lie. Well, why don't you give it a

shot, Jesse?

What are you talking about?

I can't blame you for kissing Mason.

Because I've done the same thing.

You kissed Mason?

No.

Remember when I went down to the harbor for the Greenpeace rally?

Yeah. Well, Debbie Borowski cornered me between the tuna trawler and the fish

cutting table.

And we kissed.

You kissed Debbie Borowski?

Yeah.

That's wonderful!

It is?

It is.

Yes. Don't you see?

You're not perfect.

You're just as rotten as I am.

You're not even mad?

No, I'm not mad. Well, actually, I'm disgusted. I mean, Debbie Borowski is...

But we'll talk later.

I'm just glad you're back.

Bye, Sam.

Bye, Desi. Oh, gee.

Stop by any time of the day.

All right, Mace, bye -bye.

Yeah, how do you do with the football players?

Smooth sailing, smooth... You know, this experience with Sam made him feel like

a real man, you know? It gave him the confidence to stand up to those guys,

he got a stun gun.

Oh, Tony, I think the pancake's ready.

Oh, yeah? Well, I'll tell you the truth, I think it's time to pass on the old

griddle. Oh, no!

Oh, no, you want me to do it? I can't, I can't! Yes, yes, yes, you can.

All right. All right, I'll give it a try. All right.

Well, I guess it's all in the wrist action. You know, that is the most

mistake in pancake flipping.

Actually, you get your height from the shoulder.

The shoulder. That's right. All right. Well, batter up.
