We have some very important business to discuss.

The selection of an assistant scoutmaster who is going to volunteer to

himself and his son the best doggone experience a kid ever had.

My dad is.

If you lived here, well, you'd already be home.

What?

I've been thinking about it. About me moving in here?

What's wrong?

I felt something pull down here and some pain up here.

When are you seeing your doctor? Tomorrow.

Well, you tell her what happened and don't do this exercise again, unless she

says so.

You want to move out of the house and closer to the school?

Yeah. Can you get a place? I hear that campus housing is quite a problem.

Dad, the thing is, I do know this person who asked me to move in.

Oh, and are you congenial?

Yeah, I'd say very congenial. All right, now let's start with the e -blow. Your

contractions are 60, 90 seconds long and two to three minutes apart.

You switch to e -blow.

Okay, everybody, short pants.

At least I'm dressed right. Daddy.

The doctor said there could be nothing, but she wants me to take the ultrasound

test today, and she's watching me real close.

Have you told Merle? No.

Susan.

When the sunrise smiles on everything around

It's a portrait of the

happiness that we feel and always will Oh,

it is enough to fill our lives with love

Always spend our days like bright and

shiny new dyes If we're ever puzzled

by the changing times There's a

plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill

And eight is enough to fill our

A gig.

A making money gig.

Yeah, but where?

Not a disco party.

A nightclub, right?

A debut.

Well, it's a debut.

A sweet six party.

A sweet six?

Well, the kids were cautious.

Well, what are they going to do on her seventh birthday? Marry her off?

At least everybody else were here tonight.

I think we did a pretty good job getting this many together for once.

I know. Everybody's usually working or something.

Speaking of working, I gotta go.

Oh, what's your assignment?

Political rally. Want to come?

He can't. We're starting scouts tonight.

Yes, we're starting scouts tonight.

Toddlers are waiting.

See you later. Bye -bye.

Did anybody talk to Susan today?

Oh, yeah. I went by her apartment.

How is she?

Oh, she's healthy. Very big and deeply immersed in Dr. Spock.

She's watching Star Trek?

No, maybe it was at the wrong spot. This one wrote a baby book. Yes, which Susan

has read four times, Dr. Juno three times, and Ilgan Ames twice.

You know, she has two more months before that baby.

At the rate she's going, she could have a degree in child psychology by then.

Now, wait a minute. Where are you going? I'm going on a date.

Oh, but I didn't hear the bell ring or even a car honk. That's because I'm

picking him up, Dad.

Can you drop me off at the hospital?

Come on, hurry.

Bye -bye.

What is this? I think we're going to have a nice family get -together.

We can't. We're going to be late. Come on, let's go.

Come on.

Bye. Have fun.

Well, I guess that just leaves you and me.

Well, not necessarily, Abby. I'm studying with Jack tonight.

Bye. Bye.

I guess that leaves me and me.

And the dishes.

Seven o 'clock, Susan. Time for Lamaze class.

Hon? Hey.

Come on, we better get going. Shh.

You know, our son is going to be bored with classical music before he's born.

Now, come on. You know, our daughter is going to be a brilliant musician.

Oh, I forgot the pillow. Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I just make myself so mad, I keep bumping her into things. Well, bumps are

of the game, honey.

Yeah, I should be more careful. Come on.

Time for more research.

But we have an anthro quiz tomorrow.

Oh, uh, well, now, see, uh, in the Stone Age.

Now, people used to kiss this way.

Isn't Stone Age kissing a grad subject?

Uh, no, no, it's open to sophomores.

Isn't there some prerequisite?

Uh, puberty.

And I think you passed.

Jack, we only have a couple of hours to study. I have to be home by midnight.

You know, if you lived here, you'd already be home.

Yes, and if we were kings and queens, we'd live in palaces.

I wasn't kidding.

What?

I've been thinking about it. About me moving in here?

Yeah.

Well, I mean, you're here most of the time anyway.

Well, I mean, if you moved in, well, just think of all the traveling time it

would save us. And gas.

Oh, we'd have more time to study.

We could be together more.

Or eat together.

Say, uh, can you cook?

Not very well.

Well, I can.

Uh, well, how about sewing?

You're serious, aren't you?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I am.

Well, what do you think?

I don't know.

Look, Dad, have you ever seen so many badges?

Not on one chest, Nicholas.

Never. As some of you prospective scouts might know, and as any good scout will

tell you, we live by the motto, be prepared.

So, at the end of this meeting, I will give you all a list of places to buy

uniforms.

I'd like you all to have them for the next meeting.

Can we buy mine tomorrow, Dad?

Oh, yeah, sure. We'll try.

Dad, scouts don't just try.

Scouts don't.

Dads do.

Manuals are being passed out, and we'll go over it just briefly tonight, because

we expect you all to read them at home. But, Dad, if you break your leg, I can

put a spin on it for you. Isn't that great?

Yeah, that'll be a lot of fun.

First, though, we have some very important business to discuss.

The selection of an assistant scoutmaster.

You know, the finest thing you can do for your son is to be a part of scouting

with him.

I know my son Jerry has benefited greatly from the experience. Haven't

Jerry?

So what do you say?

Who is going to volunteer to give himself and his son...

The best doggone experience a kid ever had.

My dad is.

Bradford? Yeah, Bradford.

Tom Bradford. Tom Bradford.

Hey, boys, meet the new assistant scoutmaster, Tom Bradford.

You like to count on someone, Tom.

Okay.

All right, now that we have our assistant scoutmaster, we can begin

first activity.

This weekend, we are going on a camping trip.

A camping trip.

Now, raise your arms from the shoulder and tense both arms.

Make tight fists.

Tight, but keep your legs relaxed.

Coaches, check to see that only the arms are tight.

Lift your leg.

Is it relaxed?

All right, everyone, drop your arms. You shouldn't stay in that tense position

too long, just five to ten seconds.

Now we're going to try the reverse.

Tense your legs and relax your arms.

Lift your legs. They're not too high.

You're supposed to lift both of them, honey. Don't be so overcautious.

I'm trying.

Tighten harder, Susan.

Labor is a lot of work.

Come on, honey.

She's really very athletic.

So is the baby.

Now lift, honey.

What's wrong?

I felt something pull down here and some pain up here.

I think I'm all right.

Next time, bend your knees.

And tonight you can skip this one.

When are you seeing your doctor?

Tomorrow. Well, you tell her what happened and don't do this exercise

unless she says so.

Is something wrong?

It's just wise to check with your doctor.

All right, everyone, relax.

Find a comfortable position.

And we're going to talk some more about breathing.

You okay?

Now who's being overcautious?

Now everybody take one deep cleansing breath.

Well, lots of my friends are living with their boyfriends. Janet and David did

it before they got married.

Well, Elizabeth, that still doesn't make it right.

That's 300 calories.

And Mary, you did the same thing.

But I'm not dying.

No, I mean you lived with a guy.

Elizabeth, what do you want to do?

I want to move in with Jack.

I think.

You think?

Elizabeth, if you expect us to make that decision for you, you're wrong.

We're talking about something very special, and you've really got to give

some thought.

Well, maybe you can tell me this.

How did you tell Dad you were moving out of the house?

Not very skillfully, I'm afraid.

He gave you a bad time?

Actually, I gave myself a bad time. It was a bad scene, and...

By the time I realized that I'd made a mistake, I almost had no home to come

back to.

He took it that hard?

Well, maybe Dad's getting used to it by now.

Maybe.

When you tell Dad you're moving out, say it gently and duck.

Dr. Bradford, the patient in 206 is asking for you.

Doesn't he know that I'm just an intern?

He says you need the practice.

He's right.

I'd better go.

First, Elizabeth, decide what you want to do.

Second... Tell God very carefully.

You want to come over to the game after the doctor?

No, I think I'll just come over and relax.

You feeling up yet?

If someone else could carry this baby around for a while, I'd feel great.

Well, now, I would if I could, honey. I know. You just go play great baseball

and don't worry about me.

Since you insist.

I insist.

I'll be fine.

Bye -bye.

to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout law, to help other

people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and

morally straight.

Wait a minute. What was that last one?

Morally straight?

Yeah, morally straight. You want to know what it means?

I'm glad you asked.

That means that you behave right.

that you do everything honestly and decently so that your life is an example

others as to what is good.

Oh, Elizabeth, you need something?

Yeah, um... I need a pencil.

You got one in your hand.

Oh, I guess I didn't see it. Thanks.

Thanks for telling me about Morley Street.

You're welcome, Nicholas.

I guess everything you do in Scouts can't be fun.

What? Sounds like there's a baby in there.

Want to hear?

I can hear the heartbeat.

Seems good and strong.

Seems.

Uh, try not to bend or lift too much.

You can still take the Lamaze classes, but go easy with anything that pulls on

the abdomen.

And come see me, say, three times a week.

Three times? Why?

I don't like the twinges.

It could be the womb stretching or the baby kicking or... Or what?

In fact, I think I'll have you take the ultrasound exam next time.

I just want to be sure everything is all right.

You mean something's wrong?

I mean I want to keep a closer watch on you.

I think Mary Pat's doing it right.

I disagree.

You don't think I should tell them?

I don't think you should move in with Jack.

Why not? We did it.

Oh, that's different.

What's different?

Please, Janet, I'm talking to Elizabeth.

You're not talking. You're spouting nonsense.

Come on. You'd feel the same way I do if she were your sister.

Oh, it's okay for me, but not for your sister.

I didn't mean that. I meant... Elizabeth is a kid. Well, so was I when you asked

me to move in with you. No, no. And anyway, you're so... And she's... You

what I mean. No, I don't know.

Tell me. It's perfectly obvious.

Elizabeth is young.

You, you're not old.

And I'm in deep trouble.

Now that I know.

Thanks for the help, guys.

I'm the one who needs help. You need a lot more than help.

I don't want to talk about it. Oh, I understand. It's very difficult to talk

when you've got your foot in your mouth.

What happened?

You first.

No, ladies first. Now, come on. You started first.

All right.

I'm going up to the Mets for the rest of the season.

What? They just lost three pitchers to injuries, and I may even get to start.

That's great.

Only problem is I have to leave tomorrow, but I'll be home way before

and if you can get someone to coach me in the Lamaze, I can pick up the

training when I get back.

But only if you say it's all right to go. I won't go if you don't want me to.

Oh, I'm sorry. What did you want to tell me?

Oh, that the Twinders were normal and there's nothing to worry about.

Well, great.

So what do you say?

Well, it's your big break. You've got to go for it.

Oh, I love you.

Oh, I love you, too.

Just think, my husband pitching in the majors. Yeah.

In New York. The New York Mets.

The question is, what do you think?

The answer is... I don't know.

You got a minute?

Oh, hi.

30 seconds. I'm late to work. Well, Joanie, I really need your advice.

So I'll be late to work.

Oh, good.

See, I've got this big decision to make, and... Joanie, telephone.

I'll be right back. Don't go away, okay?

You want to know what I think? I think Jack's one cool guy and you ought to

in with him before you lose him.

Sorry, but not what?

Tommy, how did you know?

What kind of kid's got a built -in radar system?

We're going to change.

But, Joanie, the reason why... I can't possibly interview a presidential

candidate in these old jeans.

Where are my new jeans?

Just a second. Elizabeth, I have to help Susan get Merle off.

Oh. I'll see you later.

Bye.

You see, I think... I know what you think.

So I kept pestering my mother and pestering my mother.

Finally, she had to say something right. So she says, Sandra Sue.

Sandra Sue?

Yeah, that's my real name. Did you know that? No, I didn't. She says, Sandra

Sue, you do not tell a baby where babies come from.

Smart lady.

Hi.

Hi. What are you doing?

I'm taking all these cans down so you can reach them.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but bending is as hard as reaching.

Oh. Could you just put it all on the counter?

All of it?

Yeah. That ought to work great until my stomach grows longer than my arms.

That's funny.

Not if it's your stomach, it's not.

It's not easy for her these days.

Yeah. I hope I'm doing what's right.

Don't you worry about it. We're going to take good care of her.

Oh, I know you will, Abby.

I wouldn't go if I didn't know that.

Now, the fox comes out of his hole, around and back of the tree, and back in

hole again.

And... I did it.

I did it!

I actually did it! That's pretty good.

Oh, boy, and you were here.

Congratulations. You want to try?

No. My first successful bowline.

Unless it's a quadruple half hitch.

Problems? Yeah.

No, not really. I just have a big decision to make.

You want to talk about it?

Well, see, Dad, I waste a lot of time driving back and forth to school and

everything and a lot of gas and a lot of money.

And I figured that if I move a little closer to campus that... I would have

time to study, and I'd save on gas, and I wouldn't spend as much money.

It'd be my own money that I earned last summer.

And, you know... Yeah, you want to move out of the house and closer to the

school. Yeah, exactly.

Well, I don't think that's such a bad idea.

I mean, of course I would miss you, but you'd have more time to study, and,

well, it could be a growth experience.

Yeah. But can you get a place? I hear that campus housing is quite a problem.

Well, Dad, the thing is, I do know this person who asked me to move in.

Oh, and are you congenial?

Yeah, I'd say very congenial. Oh, that's good, because from what I hear,

dormitory rooms are very close quarters.

A dormitory? Well, you can't afford an apartment.

Well, Dad, that's not... I shouldn't stand in your way.

After all, you're an adult now. If this is what you want, go ahead and enjoy it.

A good scout is a good camper.

And a good camper is a good scout.

Now, I know you're all just as anxious as I am to hit that trail.

Now, each will carry his own gear, and that means we must keep it very light.

Just the basics.

So, you take your tent, your sleeping bag, the flashlight, your shovel and

canteen.

Both the mess kit and the first aid kit.

Now, your water purification tablets are essential. Take your tender, your

knife, and compass. For Pete's sakes, where are we going?

Guadalcanal? Now, oh, I almost forgot.

The snake bite kit.

The snake bite kit.

The snake bite kit.

Just a precaution, Tom. But remember, we will be pretty far from civilization.

And a good scout must what?

Be prepared.

Bring a machine gun.

Now, are there any questions?

Now, the truck will pick us all up at H hour. Oh, we're going by truck?

Yes, that will take us to the starting point. And that's where we begin our

-mile hike.

The white zone is for loading and unloading only.

I still don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Oh, I know.

You just don't want me to be married to a major league ball player. No, no, I

mean it, honey.

What if something happens?

Oh, I'm going to be just fine, girl.

What about those pains you've been feeling? Now, I told you what Dr. Quo

It's just my womb stretching and the baby kicking.

Oh, I hate missing that.

The baby kicking.

I'll be back for the birth. That's the most important thing. Right.

I sure wish New York was closer to Sacramento.

Oh, now, I have to get used to you traveling because I don't plan to drag

babies all over the country.

Babies? Well, you know us Bradfords.

You mean fertility is hereditary?

Flight 471, now boarding at Gate 5.

That's you.

Now, listen, I'll call you every day. Okay. And let Abby help you if she wants

to. I will, I know.

And Dad's going to take me to the Lamaze classes, so don't you worry.

Hey, he kicked me.

And she loves you.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

You take care of your mommy, little fella.

Hi.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Lift your legs. They're not too high.

You're supposed to lift both of them, honey. Don't be so overcautious.

Try.

Tighten harder, Susan.

Labor is a lot of work.

Come on, honey.

She's really very athletic.

So is the baby.

Now lift, honey.

Sounds like there's a baby in there.

Want to hear?

I can hear the heartbeat.

Seems good and strong.

Think?

Uh, try not to bend or lift too much.

You can still take the Lamaze classes, but go easy with anything that pulls on

the abdomen.

You mean something's wrong?

I mean I want to keep a closer watch on you.

Thank you.

Anything else I can do for you, sir?

Oh, no. No, thanks.

Thanks

a

lot.

Anytime.

Woo!

There you go.

Wow, thanks.

Come on, Nicholas, we've got to go.

A friend of yours, Nicholas?

No, she's just my sister.

Nice to meet you.

My name's Susan.

Well, Susan, would you like an autograph, too?

Thank you.

Well, then, I'll be looking for you at the ballpark.

You will?

Come on, Nicholas, we've got to go.

Next time you're there, stop by the dugout and say hi.

Okay.

Nicholas.

I hope I'll be seeing you, too.

Do you have a girlfriend back in Arkansas?

No. Do you have one here?

Well, if you'd asked me that two days ago, I would have said no, but...

Nah, I'm not too sure.

You met somebody?

Yep.

Who?

She's real cute.

In an ornery sort of way.

Yeah?

And she is the prettiest girl I've ever seen.

Oh, hi. Here, I'll help you. Oh, thanks, Dad.

I didn't realize I had so much junk.

Oh, well, listen, why don't I drive you? I could see your dorm.

No, you don't have to, Dad, because Jack's got his car waiting outside.

Well, I'll come along. I could get to meet your roommate. What's her name?

Marge?

Yeah.

But, Dad, I'd really like to fix the place up first before you see it. Oh,

seen you in rooms that need fixing up before.

This morning, for instance.

But, Dad, it's different.

Why is that? Hi, Mr.

Bradford. Listen, are you sure I can't give you a hand? Dad, Jack can handle

Goodbye. So long.

He's a nice boy.

You know, Dad, I'll probably be seeing a lot more of Jack since we'll be living

so close to each other. Oh, that's all right.

I think that you're mature enough now to know that you can't stay out late every

night and keep up with your schoolwork.

You let me know when I can come by and see you.

So long.

Shall I carry you over the threshold?

That's for married people.

Hey, forget the threshold.

I have another great tradition.

What's wrong?

My five o 'clock class starts in ten minutes.

Bye.

We look super.

Oh, don't they have uniforms with long pants?

Mr. Houston said that this is what the troop prefers.

Mr. Houston doesn't have knobby knees.

Come on, Dad. Don't take it off.

We have to work on our tent.

Not with nude knees. Now, I can work in my old pants.

Well, it wouldn't be official.

You be official. I'll be comfortable.

Come on, you have to show me how.

Nicholas, where did you put pole B?

In slot B, like it says.

Oh, yeah, that's logical.

Where is slot B?

Why didn't you just ask the guy at the store to assemble it for you? Oh, and

carry it that way or to hide? Sure.

I'll help you in a minute, Dad.

Hi, Susan. Is everything okay?

Right.

Okay, I'll send him right over. Bye.

Tom, did you forget that tonight's your night to take Susan to the Lamaze class?

Oh, that's right.

I'm on my way.

But, Dad, you can't... Oh, I'm sorry to spoil this wonderful fun that we're

having, Nicholas, but I promise Susan... Tom?

No, I can't stop now. I'm very late. I have to go. I'm sorry. Bye -bye now.

Maybe, uh, change?

I think I'd feel better if I went home and changed my clothes and then I'll

right back.

Oh, don't go.

I'd miss your sexy knees.

Come on, Dad. Sit down. Doris is about to start the class.

Are you sure this is necessary? I've had eight children. I've never been on the

floor before.

You've had eight kids?

He must have been working on a merit badge.

Who are your friends?

All right, now what?

Well, we'll probably start by learning how to breathe.

I know how to breathe.

Daddy, this is important.

All right, now let's start with the e -blow. Your contractions are 60, 90

seconds long and two to three minutes apart.

You switch to e -blow.

Okay, everybody, short pants.

At least I'm dressed right. Daddy.

And as soon as you're ready, tense up your right

arm and left leg.

Coaches, check.

All right, now let's switch.

Left arm, right leg.

Relax,

Susan.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Did you see your doctor?

Yes, she said to take it easy.

All right.

Tense your leg, but remember to bend your knee.

Was something wrong?

Oh, no.

You know, Mom must have felt things.

Yeah, sure she did, but are you all right?

Yeah, I just miss Merle.

Well, why don't you come back with me, and Abby can drive you back to your

apartment in the morning.

Well, it won't be too much trouble.

It's no trouble at all.

The scout is brave, loyal, and misses his kids.

All right, everybody. Let's start from the beginning again.

You look really good, Susan.

Are you sure you don't want to stay with us again tonight?

I don't think so.

You have to learn to be alone.

Well, if you change your mind, I'll come pick you up anytime you want.

Thanks. It's really sweet.

No, it's not sweet.

Selfish.

Selfish? Yeah.

I'm having so much fun with you, just going through this whole thing with you.

It's almost like I'm having my own baby.

Do you want your own baby, Abby?

Well, Frank and I were going to have children.

And then, well,

I guess if I hadn't married a man who had eight of his own already.

But right now, I mean, I'm just having fun. I just want to help you with your

baby. Yeah, well.

I hope everything goes all right with my baby.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

What?

Abby, there might be a problem.

What?

Well, I've been having some pains.

And the doctor said that it could be nothing, but she wants me to take the

ultrasound test today, and she's watching me real close.

I'm scared.

Oh, Susan.

Have you told Merle? No.

I don't want to ruin his big chance.

Susan.

The x -rays are all right, and there are no internal injuries.

You got off lucky.

How's Susan?

She's with Dr. Korn in the room next door.

There's something you're not telling me.

No, honestly, Abby, I don't know anything yet.

I'm just as worried about her as you are.

Abby, are you all right? She's just shaking up. She'll be fine.

Oh, thank God. Well, where is Susan?

With Dr. Korn.

Tom, I didn't even see the car. It turned right in front of me. I wasn't

looking. Oh, Abby, I'm sure. I was looking at Susan.

If anything happens to Susan and the baby, it's my fault.

Oh, no, Abby.

No.

Sharp pain or just an ache?

Sharp pain.

I don't know.

Can't you give her something?

We need her reactions.

Is the baby all right?

That's what we're trying to find out.

Mary, don't tell Merle yet.

Back control.

Ooh, look at that. Picking you clean.

Oh. Come on, Dougie.

Come on, get the wrist over on the ball. Come on, Dougie. Top hand. Top hand.

Top hand. Oh, watch out now. Not that much top hand. You might hurt somebody.

Yeah. Do it.

Do it, Dougie. Hell, baby, Doug.

Hey, come on in here. Check the rook out, dude.

Oh, do it.

No, not if you're bringing good news.

You're all right, and the baby's all right.

And as far as we know now, we'll arrive on schedule.

On schedule in two months?

Oh.

I keep telling everybody we should put in a bulletin board. I didn't even know

Susan was sick until she got better. Well, believe me, that's the best way to

find out. Now, put your books down. We have to go.

Where are we going? We have to go. by the snakebite killer.

All right.

Oh, and maybe on the way we could stop off and see Elizabeth and tell her what

happened. We can see her dormitory.

Oh, do we have to? She probably won't even be there.

Oh, well, I'll call her up. Tell her we're coming.

Hello?

Uh, it's for you.

Uh, Marjorie Rosen?

Come, Archie, what's up?

Hey, you better get over here right away.

Yeah, your father just called.

He said he's coming over here to see your room.

I told him you were in the shower and to give you a few minutes to get dressed.

Oh, and listen, Elizabeth, you're going to have to find another room.

I've already got company.

Elizabeth?

I know you never saw me before, but I need your room.

What? Your room. I need it, but without you in it.

I get it. It's a sorority hazing, right?

No. Gamma, I bet.

I detest sorority.

Hey,

hey, don't I know you?

What? Aren't you in my anthro class, Kleinwoods, 10 a .m.? Yeah, Tuesdays and

Thursdays. Right. Look, I couldn't help overhearing your problem.

You want a room? I got a room. Oh, terrific.

What's the catch?

No catch. Just take notes for me in class tomorrow.

That's a catch, but you're on.

Elizabeth, look, I told you. What are you doing?

Excuse me. I haven't even worn some of that stuff yet. I'm not going to wear

I'm just going to borrow it.

But I thought they said 104.

No, it's 108.

Dad, I'm sorry I couldn't get to the phone when you called, but I was in the

shower. It's all right. Elizabeth, I have to... What do you think of the

Great poster.

Since when did you start liking rice cups?

Oh, that.

Um, well, Jack gave that to me, kind of a housewarming gift.

Elizabeth, there's something I want to say.

Um, did I tell you I've been doing laundry for some of the students? It

really well. Oh, look, Abby and Susan had a close call. They had a car

They had an accident? But they're both fine, and the doctor ran a lot of tests

on Susan. There's no problems, but I thought that you should know.

Yeah. Is there anything I can do? I thought you might drop by and see Susan.

She's at the house.

Yeah, I'll do that, Dad, right after my last class.

Good. I missed you already.

Okay, let's go, Nichols. We've got to get there before the store closes.

You know, this is a nice room, Elizabeth.

I mean, for your basic room, it's very... basic.

So, where's all your junk? I don't see all your junk. It's in the closet. I

haven't had time to unpack.

Maybe I'll see it. Oh, yeah.

And then we can have a long talk about race cars. Yes, okay.

Bye.

This is an awful lot of work for you, Abby.

And I'm glad to make up for the accident.

Well, it wasn't your fault.

I feel like it was.

Being able to take care of you helps me, okay? Well, if waiting on me hand and

foot really helps you.

Susan, I love you.

And besides, the way this family disappears on weekends, and with Tom and

Nicholas going away and everything, you're a terrific company.

Oh, boy, no wonder I never joined the Boy Scouts. This thing weighs a ton.

Quit complaining. It's not that heavy.

Oh, no, maybe not for you, because you don't have to bring it so far off the

ground. I think you both look real, uh, Daniel Booney.

Well, I think he looks like he's in pain.

Don't say that word. Nicholas will attack me with a tourniquet.

Uh, he's just kidding, Nicholas.

No, I'm not.

Why can't we read about camping in the handbook?

Oh, too late. They're here.

They're here!

Oh, well, don't you think I should stay and help Susan?

No, I think we, uh, have it in hand.

You just go camping, Dad, and have a good time.

Well, make up your mind. Which?

Come on, Dad!

Go on, Dad.

March. I'm marching. I'm marching.

Now, I'm just cooling off my blisters.

Well, lots of my friends are living with their boyfriends.

Elizabeth, what do you want to do?

I want to move in with Jack.

Elizabeth, if you expect us to make that decision for you, you're wrong.

Maybe you can tell me this.

How did you tell Dad you were moving out of the house? First, Elizabeth, decide

what you want to do.

Second, tell Dad very carefully.

I think Mary's actually right.

I disagree.

You don't think I should tell Dad?

I don't think you should move in with Jack.

Why not? We did it.

Now that's different.

What's different?

Please, Janet, I'm talking to Elizabeth.

You're not. talking your spouting nonsense.

Come on. You'd feel the same way I do if she were your sister.

But can you get a place? I hear that campus housing is quite a problem.

Well, Dad, the thing is, I do know this person who asked me to move in.

Oh, and are you congenial?

Yeah, I'd say very congenial. If this is what you want, go ahead and enjoy it.

You know, if all I wanted was a roommate, I mean, there's 12 guys at

I just thought we had something going for us.

I'm sorry.

Elizabeth, I understand.

And I want to help you.

I mean, that's what a relationship is all about. You know, being there for

other.

I know.

So let me help.

Here, I'll help you. Thanks, Dad.

I didn't realize I had so much junk.

Well, listen, why don't I drive you? I could see your dorm.

No, you don't have to, Dad, because Jack's got his car waiting outside.

Well, I'll come along. I could get to meet your roommate. What's her name?

Marge?

Yeah.
