All language subtitles for Family Affair s02e11 Freddie

What's wrong with you?

Nothing, Uncle Bill.

What are you doing that for?

I'm just practicing to scare Sue
Jeanette Minter.

What do you want to scare her for?

She likes him.

She follows me around all the time at
school.

It's awful.

You think scary faces are going to stop
her?

I think she'll like them.

What am I going to do?

Well, it's one of those problems us good
-looking guys just have to put up with.

You'll see Sue Jeanette tomorrow night.

Tomorrow? After school open house.

Good. And we'll both put a whammy on
her.

Why did she have to pick on me?

You got problems?

No. I have been offered a job.

A job?

Babysitting for the Kingsleys on the
ninth floor.

Seventy -five cents an hour and a dollar
an hour after midnight.

If you need more allowance, why don't
you just tell me?

Well, it's not exactly the money.

Mostly, I just like to prove that I can
earn some on my own.

You know, be a little self -sufficient.

Well, you don't have to prove anything
to me. You've got plenty of time to be

self -sufficient later.

Oh, please, let me try.

Mrs. Kingsley is counting on me tonight.

All right, you try it once. We'll see
how you make out.

Uncle Bill, you're a prince!

The word is pushover.

Is Mr.

Davis in?

Oh, who may I say is calling? Mrs. Greg
Parkhurst.

Freddie! Bill!

Freddie!

Oh,

you're the only man who ever called me
Freddie.

Well, Frederica just wasn't like you.

Mother used to wince whenever she heard
you call me Freddie. She thought it made

me seem unfeminine. Fat chance of that.

Come on in.

Well, how many years has it been?

Well, let's see.

You were about 19 then, and now... Never
mind.

You haven't changed at all.

Well, you have. You got pretty.

How's Greg?

Well, he's prosperous.

He had to come to New York on business,
so this time I decided to tag along.

There's nothing to keep me in Terre
Haute.

Well, good. Maybe three of us can have
dinner together, okay?

Well, he'll be tied up in business
meetings, but...

Maybe we could Shanghai him one evening
later.

Could.

I never pictured you as an
internationally famous engineer.

You were always so relaxed.

Greg was the go -getter.

Well, different guys got different ways
of going and getting.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Jody, Jody.

We're just practicing.

Sue Jeanette hates bugs.

I'm with her.

This isn't a real bug.

I phoned Mrs. Kingsley, and she was
totally delirious. She wants me to sit

her every Thursday night.

A bachelor with three children?

Wait a minute.

That's Jody, Buffy, Sissy. This is Mrs.
Parker.

How do you do?

How do you do?

Beasley. A pleasure.

Mrs. Parker's comes from Terre Haute,
too.

Did you know our mother and dad?

Their dad was my brother.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know your
parents.

But your Uncle Bill and I were very good
friends.

In the olden days?

Exactly.

All three are taking care of me now.

You're lucky.

Are you going to be able to stay for
dinner with us?

Well, I... Oh, come on, you can stay,
can't you, Freddy?

I'd love to.

Greg's going to a banquet.

I knew somebody named Freddy once, but
he was a boy.

Well, my name is really Frederica.

That's pretty.

I like Freddy better.

So do I.

Come on, you guys, and watch out for
dinner.

I guess it's next to Freddy.

to call her Mrs.

Parker.

May we offer you some more torte
macaroon?

It was delicious, French, but I mustn't.

You may offer me more, Mr. French.

Me too.

Hey, hey, you kids know the rule about
too many sweets.

Bill, they did eat all their green
vegetables.

Yes, and they did drink their milk right
down to the last drop, you know.

Okay, I'm outnumbered.

Seconds this time.

Yippee! Yippee!

Thanks, Mrs.

Carkers. Thanks, Mr. French.

French, we'll have coffee in the living
room, I think.

Very good, sir.

What a marvelous dinner.

Well, excuse me. I can't be late for my
first job.

Good luck, sissy.

Thank you.

I'd like to volunteer, if you'll tell me
what to do.

Don't worry.

Mrs. Beasley and I will help you.

There, okay?

Yes, you smell nice.

Thank you.

Some of Uncle Bill's friends wear
perfume that makes me sneeze.

Yours smells like flowers.

It's lilac time.

There, you'll have only nice dreams.

Mmm.

It smells nice.

Mrs. Beasley, may I?

Secrets? Mrs. Beasley likes you.

I'm glad.

I can tell you two are very good
friends.

Like you and Uncle Bill?

Mm -hmm.

Tell me some more about how he was in
the olden days.

Oh, well, he was very popular.

Really? Mm -hmm.

But he didn't work at it. It was just
natural.

He was never in a hurry.

He always had time to stop and talk
and...

to be interested.

Yes?

Oh, well, he had an old wreck of a car.
And he never had more than 25 cents

worth of gasoline in it at any one time.

But anybody was welcome to ride.

People, dogs, and cats.

There was always room for one more.

I wish I could have ridden in Uncle
Bill's old car.

You two ladies had better get to sleep
now.

I thought you were in bed.

I wanted to say goodnight to you.

Goodnight.

If you want to practice, you could tuck
me in, too.

I thought I lost you.

I was telling the twins about the olden
days.

They want to hear all about you.

I hope you just told them the good
parts.

Thanks so much.

It's been a perfect evening, Bill.

It's good to see you again, Fay.

Those are wonderful kids.

Oh, I was invited to come back and tell
them more stories.

Well, you're welcome here any time,
Freddie. You know that.

Thank you, Bill.

Uncle Bill.

Well, I haven't seen him.

Maybe your turtle ate him.

Now I can't scare Sue Jeanette Minter.

Well, there he is.

He's got a sweet tooth just like you.

Thanks, Uncle Bill.

had a better sitter. I've got another
job for you tonight.

Two nights in a row?

Well, it's Friday night, Uncle Bill.

And besides, these are friends of the
Kingsleys.

Mrs. Kingsley says she can get me all
the jobs I want.

Well, one or two nights a week are
enough.

But, Uncle Bill, it's such a breeze.

I earned four dollars last night just
studying and watching television.

Don't try for your first million
overnight.

Well, bring me your badge this
afternoon, Uncle Bill.

What badge?

We're making badges for all the first
-grade mothers and fathers to wear at

open house tonight.

Oh, that's right, the open house. Okay,
see you later.

I knew I forgot something.

A conflict, sir?

I invited Mrs.

Parkhurst to have dinner with me
tonight, but the kids' school's having

open house.

I'll be glad to fill in for you, sir, if
you like.

No, no, the kids are counting on me,
thanks.

Well, maybe Freddy'd like to go along,
too.

Reminder of one of those cheap dates we
used to have.

Ninety -eight.

One hundred.

Well. Ninety -five.

Thirty.

I goof.

And this are mine.

Well.

Very good, Jody.

Jeanette.

Why don't you try just staring back at
her?

She likes me.

Come see our pictures.

Come on.

I did this.

Your own Mona Lisa, huh?

Davises, I'm Ruth Minter.

Oh, you're Sue Jeanette's mother.

Oh, Mrs.

Davis, I don't believe that I have your
name on my list. I'm head room mother

this year. Well, with two little ones in
this class, you ought to be helping us

with our lunch program.

Mrs. Minter, this isn't Mrs.

Davis. This is Mrs. Parker. She's a
friend's guest tonight.

Oh, dear.

Well, excuse me.

Well, when I saw the four of you
together, I just thought to... Of

tonight I'm sort of a parent pro tem.

Well, we'd better be going.

Uncle Bill, I hear they have cookies and
punch in the auditorium.

Okay, that's a good idea.

Well, listen, when you get back to Terre
Haute and people ask you what you did

for excitement in New York, you can just
tell them that we went to the first

grade open house.

I hope you weren't embarrassed by Mrs.
Minter. It was just kind of a natural

mistake, I guess.

We all make mistakes.

Bill, do you ever play what if?

What's what if?

You know, what if...

I had done this, or what if I hadn't
done that?

Not very often.

I do.

Which means, I guess, that you're happy
with what you have, and I'm not.

Well, if I remember rightly, you were
always the girl that knew just what she

wanted and went after it.

Was I?

That's why the minute Greg Parkhurst
moved into Terre Haute, I knew it was

to be the two of you.

Yes. I decided Greg was going places,
and I was going with him.

So we went, and here we are.

He's married to his work, and I passed
the time playing what -if.

Listen, what if, um... What if I take
you back?

The hotel and I head for home. It's
after one o 'clock.

Well, French, what are you doing up so
late?

Well, I'm afraid Miss Sissy hasn't
returned home yet, sir.

She hasn't returned home yet? It's after
two o 'clock.

Yes, I'm most concerned, sir. But since
she neglected to advise me where she was

sitting, I really didn't know what
action to take.

Well, that's just great.

Kid her age out this time of night.

You know, I was against this babysitting
business right from the start. Then I

went ahead and let her do it.

Yes, sir.

Well, I wish I'd learned to trust my own
instincts about these kids. What was

the name of the people she's sitting for
last night?

Oh, Kingsley, sir. They have an
apartment on the ninth floor.

Kingsley. Well, maybe they know where
she is tonight.

Are you responsible for this girl?

Yes, I am. I picked her up in a curfew
violation.

A what?

Well, the people were so much later than
they said they'd be.

Well, they didn't offer to drive me
home.

You know, it's a dangerous thing for a
girl this age to be out at this time of

night. Yes, I know. I'm aware of that,
officer.

Look, I promise you this won't happen
again.

Thank you.

Good night. Good night. Good night.

I'm sorry, Uncle Bill.

It'll never happen again.

You bet it'll never happen again.
Because as of right now, you are a

babysitter. You got that? Oh, but Uncle
Bill... Look, I am the one that's

responsible for you, sissy. I am
responsible for keeping you safe and

you well. And I am the one who's going
to decide what's best for you. Don't

me about how other parents handle a
situation.

I don't care if it makes you unhappy
either.

Now go on to bed.

Go on. I said go to bed.

I'll go to bed.

Thank you, Prince.

Hi, Freddie.

Hi.

Where's Greg? He promised he'd meet me
here.

Hi, Miss Parker.

Hi, Miss Parker. How are you? Fine.

Sissy's babysitting for us tonight.

That's a wonderful idea.

Yeah, you see, that way she can earn
some money and be independent.

And also stay out of trouble.

Bill, maybe you don't need help with the
children after all.

No, we get along all right. Best we can.
One problem at a time.

babysitter before.

Pete Adams has them all the time. He
says it's lots of fun.

I have something for you, Pete.

Thanks. Thank you.

Golly bobble. Me too.

This is for all that money you'll be
earning. Oh, thank you.

Oh, a purse.

Thank you very much. You're welcome.

I'm afraid they're going to miss you.

Well, I'm going to miss them.

Bill, I... Mrs. Parker, come see our
bubble.

Go on, go on. I'll be right out.

Now, let me see these bubbles.

I made a biggest one.

I'd rather make a lot of little ones.

Let me try.

I'll get it, French.

Hi, Greg.

Hello, Bill. Come on in.

Thank you.

Again, I think we'd never get together
at all. It's been three hectic days.

Want a drink?

Love one.

Thank you, French. Yes, sir.

We're drinking out here yet?

Right out there.

So those are the children.

No wonder Frederica was enthusiastic.

She made quite a hit, too.

Sir?

Oh, thank you.

Frank, you made it.

Hello, dear.

It's getting chilly out there.

You two look solemn.

No. Now, uh, this is Buffy, this is
Sissy, that's Jody, this is Mr. Parsons.

do you do?

some of our bubbles for tomorrow.

Good idea.

They look really pretty in the light.

I just wish they didn't bust.

But they always do.

And they lived happily ever after.

The end.

Read us another one.

Oh, Jody, I've read till I'm hoarse.

yourself. Pete says he just yells and
jumps up and down, and the babysitters

always do what he wants.

Hey,

sis, what are you playing back there?

Uncle Bill, I quit as babysitter. You
quit? It's terrible. I can't do anything

with the twins, so I am no longer
working as babysitter, all right?

Frederica, I'd like to play your game at
what if.

When we get back home, what if we
contact that adoption agency?

Do you mean that?

Yes, I do, honey.

What do you say?

I'm just your sister, and I'm telling
you to settle down and get ready for
