You know, I'm afraid you're going to
have to do this yourself, Jody.

This device has me thwarted.

Gee, Mr. French, didn't you have a kite
when you were a little kid?

No, I'm afraid not.

You sure must have worked for mean
people.

Oh, good afternoon, Susie.

Susie, do you know anything about kites?

I don't know anything about anything.

I love Mrs. Beasley.

I was just telling Mrs. Beasley how I
look when I get as old as you.

Well, Buffy, could you please leave me
alone for a while? I have to make a

personal phone call.

Hello, Greg?

I made my decision.

The answer for Saturday night is no.

No, that's not it at all.

It's just that... Well, I feel we've
been seeing too much of each other

Hi, Uncle Bill.

How's my favorite barefoot girl?

I've got socks on.

Okay, almost barefoot.

Sissy had to make a very personal phone
call. I didn't have time to put my shoes

on.

Why don't you go put something on your
feet, huh?

Okay.

Well,

if that's the way you want it, it's fine
with me.

I don't want to see you again either.

Uncle Bill said it'd be okay if I came
in and put my shoes on. Well, go ahead.

I'll leave.

Something you want to talk about?

Maybe later.

What are you doing in this neighborhood?

I live near here.

Did your family move?

Uh -uh.

Rita's a big girl now.

You mean you've got your own place?

Come on over.

I'll break out the locale soda, and you
can bring me up to date on all this scam

at Lexi High. I'd love to.

story. Two brothers, two sisters, one
mother, one father, two dogs,

one canary, and six hamsters.

It's like living in a bus depot. I had
to get out or be stifled.

And I know the feeling.

Troubles at home?

Not really.

But you know, once in a while, a girl
just has to get off and be alone with

thoughts.

How'd you like to move in here?

Share the apartment?

You mean it?

We always did get along.

And it would cut expenses in half.

Boy, that would be something.

An apartment of my own.

My Uncle Bill would never let me.

Sissy, you're 18.

You're entitled to make your own
decisions.

Why don't you do what I did?

Tell him you're leaving and leave.

No, I couldn't do it that way.

But I will go and ask him.

I'd like to have my own apartment.

You giving us some thought, I take it?

Oh, yes. You remember Rita Stone, right?

Well, she's at college now, and she's
got a place just right around the corner

from us.

So it wouldn't be very far away.

And she asked me to share it with her.

Could I do that, Uncle Bill?

Oh, Rita's a very responsible girl.

And I'll pay my own way. I had that
money from last summer.

You covered all the angles.

What do you think? Could I, Uncle Bill?

You let me think about it a little
while, huh?

Excuse me, sir. Will you be requiring
anything before I retire?

No, thanks.

Good night, sir. Good night. French.

Yes, sir.

Listen, I'm thinking about letting Sissy
have her own place.

You are, sir.

I was going to ask you what you thought
of the idea you just told me.

Surely you can't be in favor of it, sir.

Well, she asked me if she could do it,
and I think she ought to have the

anyway.

But, sir, she's just a child.

She's 18.

She sees other kids doing it, and she
wants to try it herself.

Then you'll be letting her go, sir.

No, I'm not letting her go. It's the
only way I can think of to keep her

by.

Well, you'll be worrying about her, sir.

Yeah, we will.

Uncle Bill?

Huh?

Uncle Bill, what's the real reason
Sissy's moving out?

Oh, it's nothing special, honey.

Growing up's got a lot of problems. I
guess she just wants to be on her own so

she can think about them.

When I have problems, I talk them over
with Mrs. Beasley.

And if they're real bad, with you.

Yeah, well, that's nice.

When you get a little older, you'll want
to be on your own, too.

Does she need a whole apartment for
that?

She seems to think so. Is that one of
the things she figured out for herself?

Yeah.

Growing up sure can be complicated.

I think I've got everything, Uncle Bill.
I'll call a cab.

No, you don't need a cab to go a block
and a half, honey. We'll take it for

I'll help, too.

Brad?

everything on the bed.

We'll help you get back, Missy.

That's okay, Jody. I can manage.

Okay.

It's not half as pretty as our bedroom.

Then you be sure and let us know. We'll
bring it right over, huh? Oh, thanks,

Uncle Bill.

You sure you don't need any help now
with the heavy things there? Oh, no.

and I can handle it.

Uncle Bill, you've done more than
enough.

This couch sure is nice.

Yeah, so is the carpet.

Well, I'll drop by and see you all
later.

Thanks again.

Uncle Bill.

Oh, come on. Come on.

See you later, Stimpy. Okay. Goodbye.
Okay.

Goodbye.

Oh, uh, should I be expecting you both
for supper tonight, sister?

Thanks, Mr. French. Reed and I will be
eating here.

Oh, yes, I see.

Goodbye.

I can see why you had to get away.

Wow.

Oh, well, it's just because we've been
very close, and, oh, they were worried

about me.

Close is the word for it, all right.

Therefore, well, I thought they were
going to move in with us.

Rita, let's get one thing straight.

I know how you feel about your family,
and I'm sorry.

But I happen to love mine.

I didn't move out because they bugged
me. I just want to be on my own.

Ground rule number one. Don't sing
Sissy's Family.

Okay? Okay.

Let's get you unpacked.

Ah, serenity.

It's beautiful.

What's that?

You forgot your best bottle of perfume.

Oh. The one Jody and I gave you for
Valentine's Day. It cost a dollar.

Well, thank you very much. You didn't
have to make a special trip.

It's all right. I wanted Mrs. Beasley to
see how two practically grown -up women

live anyhow.

Well, thank you. And you be careful
going home.

Okay.

Well, what is it?

Did you figure everything out yet?

Huh? You know, all the things you wanted
to think about.

Yes, I'm getting along just fine.

Goodbye. Bye.

Goodbye, Fifi.

Oh, I guess they missed me. Of course.

After all, you have been gone from home
one hour and 47 minutes.

Bob's taking me out for brunch tomorrow.
You want to call Greg and make it a

foursome? No, definitely not.

I'll get it.

Mr. French!

Oh, you see, I was out doing some
shopping and I took the liberty to make

purchases for your kitchen.

May I?

Of course.

It really wasn't necessary.

Good afternoon, Miss Rita.

I'll call you back.

Well, you know, the lamb chops were
succulent, and the Italian

squash seemed excellent.

And then I thought perhaps a little wild
rice to round out a nice nutritious

dinner. Count me out, Mr. French. I'm
watching my calories.

We were going to have yogurt for dinner.

Yogurt? Just yogurt?

Oh, you know, that was very sweet of
you, Mr. French. We really appreciate

But you don't have to bother with this.
We'll put it away.

Well, I could stay behind and prepare
your dinner if you'd like.

What's there to preparing yogurt?

Really, we're managing just fine, Mr.
French.

Oh, well...

Oh,

uh... Good afternoon, ladies.

that, Sissy, you've never left home.

I know, and it's awful.

What can I do?

You gotta tell them to get off your
back.

Oh, but they mean well.

I don't want to hurt their feelings.

If you don't tell them, they might just
as well put up cots right here in the

living room.

Maybe they'll realize I've dropped
enough hints.

hasn't checked in yet.

Now, what makes you think it's going to
be for me?

Hi. Hi, Eleanor.

Interrupt something?

Oh, no. Of course not. I was just
surprised to see you.

Oh, sorry about barging in like this.
Not at all. It's all right.

I thought I'd better bring you your
mail.

Oh,

a last chance to purchase choice land
acreage in Hawaii?

Thanks, Uncle Bill.

You ought to get one of those change of
address cards, you know, from the

mailman. I'm going to do that Monday.

Well, everything okay?

Fine.

Well, I'll run along then. If you need
anything, you know, just call me over at

the house.

Oh, Uncle Bill.

I know you all mean well.

And I love you for it.

But how can I be on my own?

I'm learning some reason to come over
here every few minutes.

What do you mean, you all?

Buffy and Jody were here, and then just
a little while ago, Mr. French.

Awesome. You're right.

Okay, you'll tell them for me, please?

Yeah, I'll tell them.

Bye -bye.

Bye.

Oh, that's the way she wants it, so
that's the way it's going to have to be.

But, sir...

The refrigerator was absolutely bad.

And she forgot her best bottle of
perfume.

The one Buffy and I bought her. I know
it's not going to be easy on any of us,

but we're going to have to respect her
wishes, that's all.

But Uncle Bill.

No, no, we're not going to go over there
and see her, that's all.

Ever? Not unless she invites us.

Could we ask her to invite us?

No, we can't.

Come on in, Jody.

How did Mrs. Beasley like sleeping in
her own bed?

She didn't say, but I think she was kind
of lonely, too.

If you want, I'll stay with both of you
at night.

Well, this room is fixed up for girls.

I won't notice. When I sleep, my eyes
are closed.

It's okay, Jody. We'll get used to it.
to it.

Well, anyway, you got the telephone all
to yourself.

I know, but I can't call sissy.

Sorry.

Forgot to turn off the radio alarm.

That's okay. I should be getting up
anyway.

Is the coffee on?

I'm going out. Have that brunch date
with Bob.

You have any plans today?

Well, why don't you call Greg or
someone?

A nice, quiet, peaceful day suits me
fine.

Well, you'll have the place all to
yourself.

By the way, I'm short on stockings.

Mind if I borrow a pair of yours?

Help yourself.

get over at your own apartment.

You must be having the time of your
life.

Oh, sure.

It's just great.

Do you want to come and see it? Oh, I'd
love to, Sissy, but Mom's expecting me

home. Hmm.

Well, some other time, then. Mm -hmm.

Hi, Buffy, Jody.

Hi.

Hi.

Jody, let me hold this thing now.

What's gotten into them?

Do you think Uncle Bill will be mad at
us? We weren't supposed to talk to

Sissy talked to us first. We couldn't
help it.

Boy, life used to be so simple.

Get it, Sissy. It's probably for you.

Greetings, Sissy.

Greg? What are you doing here?

Well, aren't you going to invite me in?

Thanks.

Well, how did you find out where I was
living?

Well, I just happened to run into Rita,
and she said, why don't I drop by?

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

I thought that we decided that we
weren't going to see each other anymore.

That was before you got your own pad.

Well, what does that have to do with it?
I figure any girl smart enough to get

her own pad is smart enough to make up
with me.

Hey, pizza.

It's been in there for three days.
That's okay. It's better when it's aged.

Okay, Greg. We're friends again. But now
I have to do my homework, okay?

You've got some great records here,
sissy.

You know what?

I'll bring mine over here and keep them
here, too.

My parents can't stand the sound of good
music.

I said I have homework.

Well, go ahead and do it.

I'm very sorry, Greg, but it wasn't my
idea to invite you over here. I'm very

busy, and I'm going to have to ask you
to leave.

But there are a lot of things I want to
talk to you about.

You can tell me tomorrow at school.

Right now.

Goodbye.

appear to.

I had to wash my hair.

Oh, by the way, you're out of shampoo.

You might have asked if you could use
it.

Well, I didn't want to interrupt you.

I thought you wouldn't be left alone.

You know something?

I thought I did too.

Thanks for making me realize how wrong
I've been.

Yeah, that ought to do it.

Thanks for patching it up for me, Uncle
Bill.

Jody, you're going to let me fly it
again, aren't you?

If you promise to keep it away from the
trees.

Well, it seems to be one of the laws of
nature, Jody. They always wind up in the

trees.

See, Jody, it wasn't my fault. I was
just obeying the laws.

Hi,

Mr. French.

I'm so glad you're back.

And you're going to stay.

Please say you're going to stay.

I'm going to stay.

She messed us on and over.

I guess she did.

I have some roast beef left over from
dinner. I'll prepare a plate for you,

sissy. Oh, no, thank you, Mr. French. I
already had dinner.

Okay, I'd love some.

A small plate, and welcome back, sissy.

I'll take your bag for you. I better go
put Mrs. Beasley back in my bag.

I'll get the rest of my things tomorrow.

Okay, we can all help.

Uncle Bill, I hope you don't think I've
been a silly teenager.

No, I never thought that for a minute.

Going off on your own can be fine for
some girls, but I guess I wasn't ready.

Besides, I need my family.

You'll be ready someday.

Soon enough.
