How's your homework coming, Nicholas?

Oh, I'm not doing homework. I'm writing
a letter to Louise.

But it's not a love letter or nothing.

Oh, well, I thought that you and Louise
were, uh... Yeah, well, we're just

friends now.

Oh. Well, you're probably better off. I
mean, these long -distance relationships

can be very tough.

Yeah, that's what she said.

She said that? My goodness.

She must be very sophisticated.

Sophisticated?

Yes, that means, uh...

Grown up.

Very grown up.

Oh.

You know, I thought we could work things
out, but she says we should see other

people. Oh, that is tough.

Did she give you a reason?

I think it's because of her new
boyfriend.

Well, then why are you writing her a
letter?

To tell her about my new girlfriend.

I didn't know you had a new girlfriend.

I don't.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

But you want her to think that you do,
right?

Right. That's what's so sophisticated
about me.

It's a portrait of the happiness that we
feel and always

will.

It is enough to fill our lives with
love.

Always spend our days like bright and
shining stars.

Ron,

this is Wednesday. I dry, you wash.

No, I don't. On Wednesdays, you wash, I
dry.

This is where I go to the library. I
suggest you two check the schedule.

Good idea.

Okay, I'll show you. I'm right.

You are not right.

Wednesday. Joni cooks, Tommy sets,
Elizabeth clears, and Nancy dries.

Wait a minute. You said Elizabeth
clears. If I clear, well, then who

Joni, you've only been at this station a
short time. You should have a little

patience. But I know I'm ready. It's
just a matter of convincing Mr. Trout.

But Mr.

Trout has been with the station a long
time. He may be white. You may not be

experienced enough.

Yeah, Abby has a good point.

Mr. Trout's been in the business a long
time. Oh, Dad, it's not like I'm asking

him to anchor the 11 o 'clock news, you
know.

I'd just like to produce and direct a
little feature report for a talk show.

Hey, do you mind?

I didn't know your station had a talk
show. Yeah, it's a forum for local

you know, profiles of interesting
personalities.

Sounds like a good show. How come I've
never seen it?

Follows the Sunrise Farm report.

Which is exactly the point. Nobody
watches at that time anyway.

It sounds like what you've got to do is
come up with an idea that he can't

resist. Yeah, that's good advice.

Preferably something you know about.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, make sure it's not about keeping
your voice down.

Do you realize Mary spent every night at
the library for the past two weeks? I

know it.

Yeah, well, I mean, she never goes out
anymore.

When's the last time you saw her with a
guy?

I know she had a date for her senior
prom.

It isn't funny, Elizabeth.

I really feel sorry for her. Okay, so do
I, but it's her own choice. School is

where her head's at.

Yeah, well, it's not very healthy. I
mean, everybody needs a social life of

kind.

Hmm.

we fix her up. Oh, she'll never go for
it. Well, we fix her up first and we

her about it later. She'll still never
go for it.

Timing, Elizabeth.

It's all in the timing.

With Mary, you have to pick the most
vulnerable time of the day.

The time when she'll say yes to
anything.

This is really cool.

It's... the only way.

Mayor, we gotta ask you something.

Can't wait.

Oh, it'll only take a second.

Do you want Steve to pick you up at 7
.30 or 8?

No, I don't know.

8 o 'clock, I guess.

Good.

Steve?

Steve Aldenheimer.

I don't know any Steve Aldenheimer.

Better make it 7 .30. Right, more time
to get to know each other.

What's going on?

You are, on a date.

What? Just listen, okay?

He's gorgeous, smart, and sensitive.

Almost brooding.

And you know how you love brooding.

Plus, he knows a lot about medicine.

Oh, he's a doctor?

Well, no, but he's been sick a lot.

Elizabeth, I do not go out with guys I
don't know.

So just forget it.

Just forget it. No, I won't forget it.
Mary needs a social life, but she'll

never go along with it. Of course she
won't.

That's why we're not going to tell her.

Once he shows up, she'll be trapped.

I don't know.

Just trust me.

Joanie, hi.

Getting ready for the big pitch? Yes,
I've got three good subjects to show

I hope he likes one of them. I'll keep
my fingers crossed. Thanks.

I'm Jim Fancher.

Guacadu.

Hi, Tom Bradford.

Guacadu to you.

No, no, no, no. You see, I'm delivering
Guacadu skin care products.

Oh, for a minute I thought that you...
We don't need any. Oh, why?

No, we have very good skin around here.
Soft and creamy. Thank you. Sorry. You

ordered 24 jars of under -eye
concentrate.

Under -eye concentrate?

Oh, it's remarkably effective.

I use it myself.

Huh? Made from avocado pits.

Yeah, well, it sounds very nice, but...
Sponge up.

I beg your pardon?

Scrunch up like this.

Oh.

Huh?

See? No lines.

Before I started using Guacadu, I looked
like the underside of a steel -belted

radial. Well, there is quite an
improvement, but... It's here!

Guacadu! It's here!

Nicholas, so you're the one that ordered
this. I'm gonna be rich, Dad!

Well, I guess that clears up the
mystery.

Right, Tom?

I don't know, Nicholas.

It'll be a great learning experience.

Yeah, probably for me.

Okay, you win.

But remember, if it doesn't sell, you're
on your own. Not one penny for me.

Why don't you just admit it? It's not
the stories you don't like. It's the

of my doing the stories. Tony, you're
trying my patience. Well... I've heard

your ideas.

They weren't bad.

They weren't great, either. They were
just okay.

But even if you did come up with some of
the earth -shattering, I probably

wouldn't let you do it anyway, because
you're just not ready.

When will I be?

I can't answer that.

I've only been in this business a short
time.

Everybody has to pay his dues.

Why? Because that's how you learn. Look,
you're doing a terrific job, and you're

going to get your chance.

But not now.

Hi, I'm Steve Aldenheimer.

Is Mary home?

Yeah, sure. Come on in.

Thanks.

Boy, it sounds like you got yourself a
beautiful cold. Oh, well, it's not

a cold. I've diagnosed it as
bronchiectasis.

Bronchi -what?

Oh, it's an abnormal dilation of the
bronchial tubes in which mucoid

collect, causing inflammatory changes in
the bronchial walls.

I'll go get Mary.

But I don't think he's right, Dad. I
don't think everybody needs to spend

paying their dues.

Oh, I couldn't agree with you more. But
did he really say that, that it would

take years?

No.

But it doesn't matter if it's tomorrow
or if it's ten years from tomorrow. The

point is, I can do it now.

All right, then. You do it.

How?

Joanie, I was in a similar position as
you many years ago.

I was a copy boy and I was dying to be a
reporter.

What did you do?

Well, I went out and dug up my own
story. I researched it, wrote it, turned

in, and eventually it got me my own
beat.

Oh, that's great.

I don't know.

Television's so different.

I mean, you didn't have to worry about
getting your story on film. I don't know

a thing about photography.

Well, when you find someone who does.

The point is, there's always a way if
you want something badly enough.

Oh, gee, look at the time.

I'd better get going if I'm going to go
to that movie.

I'm sure she'll be down any second.

Yeah, yeah.

Mary!

You're right, Dad.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Exactly. Just use your imagination and
put your perseverance to work. Hi, Dad.

I'm here.

Mary. I want you to meet Steve
Aldenheimer. Oh, hi, Steve. How are you

Well, to tell you the truth, Mary, not
too well.

You'll have to excuse me. I have a very
important neurology class to go to.

Bye -bye. Mary!

Mary!

Oh.

I'm telling you, I've had it all.

Rhinitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis,
adenoiditis.

Pharyngitis. Never laryngitis, huh?

No. I missed that one.

Too bad. But I do have a migraine. I
think it's the air in here. Air can be

debilitating, you know. Steve, don't you
think you might be better off in bed?

You know, I mean, with the migraine and
all.

That's okay.

I've learned to live with pain.

You know, it's probably not what's been
going around anyway.

What's been going around?

Oh, I wouldn't worry about it.

Really?

Tell me anyway.

Lockjaw.

The symptoms usually include a headache.
That's why I mentioned it.

Well, I did cut myself shaving
yesterday.

Oh, really?

How old was the blade?

Well, it was... Gee, I don't know.

Steve, it's probably nothing.

Yeah, but what if it's not?

Maybe I should be in bed.

Maybe so. You know, it's better to be
safe than sorry.

Yeah, but I'm sure by morning you'll be
just fine.

Thanks for your concern, Elizabeth, but
I'm never fine.

Boy, they don't make movies like that
anymore.

Sure, and for good reason.

It was the worst movie I've ever seen.
Oh, you said that last week. That was

last week. I'm older now. Much wiser in
these matters now.

Hey, you guys, isn't that Mary right
over there?

Oh, yeah.

But I thought she had class tonight.

Some class.

I wonder who he is.

Oh, sure looks like Pete Burkett.

You know him? Well, yeah. I think he's a
doctor. He brings his kids to the

daycare center.

Kids? You mean he's married?

Well, I thought so.

Oh, I'm sure there's some explanation.

Yeah, he's probably divorced.

I hope.

Morning, Nicholas. You ready for some
breakfast?

No, I'm just going to have some coffee.
I'm running late.

Oh, well.

I guess your schedule is pretty hectic.

What, with the Guacadu business on top
of school?

Yeah.

Tough.

Cream? Yeah, thank you.

What, business is not so good or what?

Think. Nobody but the family wants to
buy, and they only do it because they

to.

Well, maybe it's your approach.

What do you say when you ring the
doorbell?

I don't know, something like, Hi, I'm
Nicholas Bradford, and I'm selling

Guacadu. And then when they ask me what
it does, I say, it gets rid of all your

ugly wrinkles.

You okay?

Nicholas,

I think I've discovered what your
problem is. What you need is a little

Oh, they didn't give me any of that,
just the cream.

Yeah, well, no, see, Nicholas, what
you've got to do is tell the customer

she wants to hear. Pay them compliments.

It's very hard for a woman to say no
when she's just been told how pretty her

dress is or how nice her hair looks.

Really? Yeah. Oh, yes, and there's one
other thing you can try. You can ask

if their mother's home.

Why?

Because it makes them feel young.

Oh, gee, thanks, Abby. Sure, any time.

Aren't you going to finish your coffee?

Uh, no, it was...

Right. I think it's with myself.

Mary?

Come in, Dad.

Hi.

Uh, Abby and I went to a movie last
night.

Was it good?

Oh, well, I don't know. There was some
disagreement about that, but...

Okay, concerned father's voice. I'd
recognize it anywhere.

What's the matter?

Well, look, I don't want to interfere.
You're an adult now.

Dad, give.

Well, it's just that you said that you
had a class last night.

I did.

But I saw you with your date.

I what?

Look, it's your life, and I want you to
live it the way you see fit, but I feel

that I should warn you of the dangers of
seeing a divorced man with kids.

Oh, you mean Pete?

Susan must have recognized him.

Dad, Pete's not divorced. He's married.

Married? Yes, and it wasn't a date.

Well, not in that sense of the word.

Oh.

Well, then, in what sense was it?

All right, look.

Pete is a resident of the hospital,
okay?

Now, we happen to be friends, good
friends.

My class let out early, and he was
leaving, so we grabbed a cup of coffee

together. Yeah, but, I mean, you seem to
touch a lot.

Come on, this is ridiculous.

Look, Pete is a demonstrative guy.

He's not afraid to show his emotions to
a friend.

I respect him for that.

Matter of fact, that's one of the
reasons I like him so much.

But that's all.

I just like him.

You feel better?

I feel foolish for not having enough
confidence in you to trust your

So trust.

I'm a very bright girl.

And a very late one. Gotta run.

Bye.

story on my own, that is. Oh, that's
wonderful, Joanie. What's the subject

matter? You.

Oh.

No, not now, Marty. Not now, Marty.

Who's Marty?

Marty's my cameraman.

He works in the mailroom, but he wants
to be a cameraman.

Oh, yes.

Well, what's this all about, and why me?

Well, I'm just taking your advice, Dad.
You said to pick an interesting subject

that I know about and do the story
myself.

You are perfect. Oh, well, that's very
flattering, but... Yeah, see, I thought

would call it Tom Bradford, a man and
his family. What do you think? It does

have a nice ring. Yeah, see, I thought
I'd shoot it all here, you know, in the

house, cinema verite.

You know, a real -life recording of how
a famous columnist deals with the

everyday problems of career and family.
Yeah, but there's the rest of the family

to consider. I mean, they have their
rights to privacy, too. I mean, what

cameras popping up when they least
expect it. Oh, Dad, don't turn me down.

please, it's my chance to prove myself
to Mr.

Trout.

And I'll feel the rest of the family in
on it, I promise.

Well, all right, but just don't let it
get out of hand.

It won't.

And I won't embarrass anybody.

I'll be very judicious about when I tell
Marty to roll camera.

Not now, Marty.

Make her stop.

I'll have some of that, please.

Uh -uh -uh.

Big mistake.

Why? What's the matter with it?

The meat surprise with the all -purpose
gravy is never good on Thursdays. When

you've been in this business as long as
I have, you get to know things like

that.

Nothing, thank you.

To good friends.

To good friends.

I thought you were doing a beer
commercial.

Wish I had a beer.

Unfortunately, I've got two tons of
lactamase this afternoon.

You really love it, don't you?

Keeps me off the street.

Oh, by the way.

Thanks for helping me with my neurology
class.

You know, most residents won't give
medical students the time of day.

Not unless they have to.

I'm really glad you're different.

I guess I just remember how tough it was
for me to get through.

Well, also, thank you for the cup of
coffee last night.

I had a good time.

You won't believe this. I'm embarrassed
to say this.

My father saw us, and he thinks we're
having a thing.

You're kidding.

Father does tend to overreact a little.

Come on, Joanie. You know how hard it is
to concentrate when you write.

Don't worry, Dad. Marty and I will be so
quiet, I promise.

Oh, not now, please. It's important that
I get this column out today.

Well, good. That means it's the perfect
time to show you in action, right?

Oh, you won't even know we're here,
really.

Oh, well... Oh, good.

And you needn't worry about the rest of
the family, either. I've filled them all

in about Marty.

Oh, except Nancy.

This will be great.

This will be great. You're going to love
it, Marty.

My family will be right down here, both
sides.

Dad will be here. Make it just wide
enough.

Okay, where do you want me?

Right, right, right. Over Abby's left
shoulder. That's good. Yeah, and when

turns over there, you'll see a little...
Well, I hope this works better than it

did with your dad earlier. Oh, it's
going to be great. My family's real

at the dinner table. Yeah, you said your
dad was animated at the typewriter,

too. All he did was sit there and stare
at a blank page.

Well, maybe it doesn't work so well with
people looking over his shoulder, you

know. Yeah, I'll say.

I thought he was in a coma.

Well, at least we got something on film.
I mean, he eventually started working.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
dog is not exactly my idea of

breakthrough journalism.

It doesn't really matter, Marty. We're
not going to show the paper anyway.

Well, sport, how goes the guac -a -cred?

It's guac -a -do and it's going great.

Well, if you ask me, I think the whole
thing's a big rip -off.

Yeah, well, if you ask me, I think you
ought to try it.

Why? I don't have any lines under my
eyes.

Who's talking about lines?

I'm talking about craters.

Yeah, I'll go see her.

Mary, what are you still doing here? I
was just leaving. Just brushing up on my

endocrine glands in the library.

You spend much more time in that place,
they're going to dedicate a chair to

you. Yeah, well, I have old man
Stegwell's class tomorrow, and... He

glands very seriously.

What are you doing back here?

I'm just checking up on a patient. She
had a pretty rough day today.

Is it serious?

No, I don't think so. It helps me sleep
better.

Want to tag along?

Do you mean it? Sure.

Just don't bring your books, okay?

It kind of makes the patients nervous.

Well, everything looks fine. How does my
favorite patient feel tonight?

Oh, not so good, doctor.

That doesn't surprise me.

It says here that you hardly touched
your dinner.

I know.

You've got to eat, Mrs. Perry.

Yeah, but the food here is terrible.

Sounds like they're serving the meat
surprise again.

I don't know what it was.

I just can't eat that food, Doctor.

Well, I can't say as I blame you.

But you've got to keep your strength up,
Mrs. Perry.

I guess there's only one solution.

Huh? What?

Arnie's Deli up the street.

How do you feel about their chicken
soup?

With noodles.

But if you say one word about this young
lady... Scouts honor Dr.

Perkins. Be back in 20 minutes.

I'll wait.

Somebody say something.

Anything.

Would you please pass the salt,
Elizabeth?

Sure, Dad.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

You're welcome, Dad.

No, Dad.

Elizabeth, keep rolling, Marty. Don't
look in the camera, okay? And Dad,

up a little bit.

Would you please pass the salt,
Elizabeth?

Sure, Dad.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

You're welcome, Dad.

Oh, this is ridiculous. Cut. Come on.
This is not working.

You were terrific in there.

I think Mrs. Perry is secretly in love
with you. You do, do you?

You make it look so easy.

Dealing with patients, I mean.

Something you certainly don't learn in
books.

You are observant, Ms. Bradford.

Would you care to know my secret?

Sure. It's going to cost you.

How much?

The price of one cup of coffee.

Okay. It's a deal.

Good. My car's right over here.

Thanks for letting me go with you.

It was really special. I mean that.

You're welcome.

You're a special person.

It's really funny, my father being
concerned about you and me.

Why is it so hard for people to believe
that platonic relationships can exist

between men and women?

I don't know.

Society's just...

Condition that way, I suppose.

I suppose.

But I'm glad you're my friend.

Very glad.

Me too.

This is your car, right?

Yeah.

Nicholas, I don't mind helping you out,
but isn't this a little far?

It'll be worth it. You'll see.

It's where all the riches live. They got
money for things like wrinkles.

Go get him, killer.

That's a very pretty... Say, your hair
is very...

Well, get on with it, young man, but
what can I do for you?

Is your mother home?

Mom?

Yes. Oh, hold on a minute.

Hiya, Susan.

Hi, Dad. Is Joanie around?

She wants to use me in her documentary.

You're in luck. She's in the kitchen.

May I ask who's calling?

Oh, yeah. Hold on.

Mary, telephone for you.

It's Pete.

Hi, Mr. Bradford. Not now, Marty.
Please.

Hello?

Sure. Half an hour.

Okay. Bye -bye.

Dr. Perkins' first name is Pete, right?

Yeah, so?

So, what's he doing calling on a
Saturday?

I mean, you'd think that a married man
would have more to do with himself on a

weekend than call medical students.
Probably has something to do with the

hospital.

Well, it's a big deal anyway.

They're just friends, remember?

Strictly platonic.

Maybe so, but it seems strange, that's
all.

Mary knows what she's doing.

I thought you said Joanie was in here.

She was just a minute ago, and Marty
just...

Not

now? Not now!

Come on, Mary, who is it?

Who's who? Hey, don't play dumb.

Everyone knows some guy dropped you off
last night.

Then the phone call, now the makeup.
Come on, what's his name? Yeah.

Hi.

But that's the only way I can capture
the spontaneity, Dad. Otherwise,

everyone's inhibited by the camera.
Absolutely not. I mean, shooting a

documentary is one thing, but shooting
your own version of Candid Camera,

another. No, look, you don't understand.
Hi, Dad. Hi, Dad. What was that all

about? I think they call it love.

Well, I don't know about that, Dad, but
whoever was on the phone this morning

sure set her off. Yeah, turned her on.

I thought you said you trusted her.

I trust her.

I thought you said she was an adult.

She's an adult.

I thought you said you believed her. I
believe her.

I really do. It's just my overreactive
paternal glands secreting again.

You said she was old enough to make her
own decisions.

Well, if she's old enough to make her
own decisions, then she's old enough for

the consequences.

Look, I can worry, can't I?

You certainly can. You have that down
-to -earth science.

Pete, I think we should talk.

I know.

I want you to know that what happened
last night is something I just didn't

expect.

Me neither.

Maybe I did. I don't know.

Why is it whenever something nice
happens, we seem to have this pressing

to analyze it?

Maybe because in some cases it needs to
be analyzed.

Pete.

I'm scared.

So am I.

Should we stop seeing each other?

No.

What should we do?

Why don't we just enjoy the rest of
today as friends, like it used to be?

Well, we could try.

The truth is, it's not like it used to
be.

Let's go see the movie.

Pat? Pat.

Come on, seriously, come on.

Pete. Come on, do me a favor. It's my
day.

Your day?

Okay, it's your day. We'll go.

Good. I'm telling you.

You don't understand. Please. This is a
bad film.

Bad? What do you mean, bad film? Are you
kidding? Go bad.

Here.

What a handsome man.

How lucky I was.

Laura, you should rest now.

No.

That was the worst movie I've ever seen
in

my life.

I loved it. I can't.

Look at your eyes.

Mary, in here, please.

I thought you said that you and Dr.
Berkus were just friends.

We are friends.

That may have been the case once, but
friends don't kiss each other goodnight.

Not like that, anyway.

You were spying?

I was keeping my eyes open. I mean,
somebody has to around here.

I don't want to talk about this anymore.

I don't blame you. I mean, the whole
thing is kind of sorted, don't you

Sorted? Mary, he's married.

Dad, our relationship happens to be
beautiful.

It may be beautiful now, but if you stop
long enough to think about later...

Mary, I'm worried about you. I'm worried
that my daughter will get hurt.

I can handle it.

I don't believe you can.

I thought you said you trusted my
judgment.

I thought that you could live up to that
trust.

I mean, what about his wife and his
children? Have you thought about them?

I know that there's problems.

There's lots of problems.

But I'm going to work them out.

I know what you're doing. You're living
in a fantasy world. You're playing with

fire and someone is bound to get burned.

Mary, please, look.

I'm asking you.

Walk away from it.

Now. Like you still can.

That's just it, Dad. I can't.

I think I'm in love with him.

And I'm not going to stop seeing him.

Tommy!

Nicholas!

All right, all right, don't have a
stroke.

Well, come on, will you?

You're taking this guacadu thing a
little too seriously, don't you think? I

always take money seriously.

Okay, sport. What do you want me to do?

Just play along with whatever I say.

You've got it.

I thought the whole idea of this film
was for everyone to be spontaneous.

Yeah, you said we could talk about
whatever we wanted. Well, I changed my

Spontaneous didn't work, so I decided to
take a little artistic license, okay?

Now, look, when I say action, all you
gotta do is make your bets. But what do

talk about?

Uh, uh, school.

School. Okay?

Roll camera.

Rolling. And action!

So, Nicholas, how was school?

Great. I loved school. You know what my
favorite class is?

No, what?

Science. We're learning all about the
moon.

Boy, that sounds interesting.

Yeah, I like the part about the craters.
They remind me of the ones Dad used to

have under his eyes.

Really? Yeah, but that was before.

Before what?

Before Dad started using Guacadu eye
cream. You know, it really helps. Just

in for a free demonstration if you don't
believe me. No obligation.

See, Guacadu was made from avocado pits.

Scrunch up.

See, you scrunch up like this and then
you put it under your eyes.

Mary? Oh, come in.

Hi. Hi.

Um, looks like I...

Caught you on your way out, huh? Yeah.

Can you spare a minute?

Well, that all depends on what we're
going to talk about.

It's what I think it is. The subject's
closed.

Look, Mary, I didn't come here to judge
you or anybody.

I don't even want to advise.

I just thought if you'd like to talk,
I'd like to listen.

It's so confusing.

I didn't expect this to happen. I really
didn't. Never did, do we?

No.

Things are moving so fast.

It was really simple when we were
friends.

Yeah.

Abby, I don't even know that I am in
love with him.

But I do know one thing.

When I think about not seeing him again,
I go crazy.

You know something?

You'd like him.

He's bright.

Funny. And he really cares.

Mary, there's one thing I'd like you to
think about.

Relationships are tough under the best
of circumstances.

These are not the best of circumstances.

I can't think of any worse.

You know that relationships require
sacrifices.

Well, are you prepared to make the
sacrifices that it takes to make this

relationship work?

I think so.

Well, then, there's just one thing left
to consider.

His family.

A family of very real people.

Hi, Dad.

Oh, hi, Mary.

You going out?

That's right.

I see.

Can we expect you for dinner?

I don't know yet.

I see.

That was a big waste of time.

Here we are trying to shoot a
documentary, and your brother's doing

on avocado pits. Well, I'll cut around
that. We'll make it work. John Ford

couldn't make this film work. No, I've
had enough. No, no, Marty, don't quit

now, please. Look, we'll get a few more
shots of my father, and I'll piece

something together. No, no, I can't work
with your father anymore. I'm sorry,

but all I ever get is, not now, Marty,
not now. But what I'd like to know is

when. Soon, very soon.

Soon? I'm sorry, but soon is just not
soon enough. I quit.

No, Marty, you can't quit now. Not now,
not now.

about your family, Mary.

Oh, don't be sorry about them.

They're all right.

Besides, I'm more concerned about you
and me right now.

About where we go from here.

Yeah, I'm thinking about that, too.

Sit down.

It was so easy when we were just
friends.

Yeah, I know.

They say that you can't go backwards.

Do you believe that, that you can never
go back?

It's true for me, Mary.

I'm in love with you.

I really am, and I don't know what to do
about it.

You're not going to say anything?

I don't know what to say.

I'm confused.

Pete, we haven't talked about your
family.

Don't you think we should talk about
them?

Mary, they don't have anything to do
with you and me.

Of course they do.

Okay.

My wife's name is Lori and the kids are
Andy and Ellie.

Do you love them?

Of course I do.

I love all of them.

But I love you too.

And now you're just as big a part of my
life as they are.

How big a part?

How big a part do I get?

Pete, where do we go from here?

And can we live with ourselves when we
get there?

Nicholas, hurry it up, would you?

I'm busy.

Busy with what? You've been in there for
20 minutes.

If you gotta know, I'm testing out my
block of juice. What's it to you?

Well, test it someplace else. I got a
date.

Why are you trying that stuff anyway?

How am I gonna know if it works if I
don't test it?

Besides, I want to see if it gets rid of
my lines.

But you don't have any lines.

Well, then I guess it works, huh?

Unusable.

Unusable.

Definitely unusable.

Unusable seems to be the key word around
here.

Yeah.

All right, don't be so hard on it.

Maybe we can save it with a little
creative editing.

No, I'm afraid nothing can save that.

That bad?

Bad.

It's so horrible.

I suppose Marty told you the gruesome
details.

You know, Marty, he tends to exaggerate.

Not this time.

Not as easy as it looks, is it?

It sure isn't.

You were right.

Truth is, I'm just not ready for this.

Joanie, you've learned some hard
lessons, but that's the only way to

anything.

You're a very good researcher. You're
going to be a very good on -camera

reporter.

Someday. Someday.

Someday may not be that far away.

You mean it?

Yeah.

Feeling better?

Yeah.

File that.

Do me a favor and don't take all day. We
got a lot of work to do around here.

Yes, sir.

Hello? Are you coming to the hospital
tonight?

Uh, I don't know. I was thinking of
studying at home tonight.

Uh, Mary, I'll pick you up in half an
hour.

I thought you were going to tell me it
was over.

Nothing about you and me seems to be
very predictable, does it?

Sure doesn't.

Maybe it's not the right thing. I don't
know.

If it means not losing you.

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm about to
become a homewrecker?

Mary, I never said anything was
definite.

So let's not jump to conclusions, okay?

But you are thinking about leaving your
wife. You just said you were.

I said I was reevaluating our
relationship.

I was discussing options.

Some option.

Pete, do you remember when I told you I
was scared?

Yeah.

Now I'm really scared.

Dad, Pete and I had a talk.

We discussed the possibility of his
leaving his wife.

Oh, Mary.

Can't I get through to you? Don't you
see it's wrong? He has a family. Why

you see that? Dad. I can't believe
you're doing this.

I'm not.

Look, I made the decision not to see him
again.

Oh, I see.

I wanted him.

I still want him.

But I won't have him at someone else's
expense.

You made the right decision.

Don't make me out to be so self
-righteous.

I could have kept seeing him.

But I'm also too selfish to share.

It's just so hard.

I know it is.

I'd like to help you.

No, no.

I'm an adult now, remember?

I get to deal with this one all by
myself.

I remember.

But being an adult doesn't mean that you
have to deal with this alone, that you

can't have some place to go.

I'm still your father, and I'm here if
you need me.

Okay.

Dad, I need you.

I really love him.

You know something else?

Sometimes I hate being an adult.

I know, Mary.

And you know what?

Sometimes I do, too.

Hiya, Nicholas.

Can I give you a hand?

That's okay, Dad. I can handle it. Going
out to sell you a guacadu?

I already sold it all. I'm delivering.

You sold it all?

That fast? How did you do it?

Well, Kenny P. Landers talked his mother
into buying what was left.

But there are 12 jars in there. What
could Kenny Landers' mother do with 12

of guacadu?

Come here a minute.

You ever seen Kenny's mother?

No. Why?

Billions of them.

Billions?

Billions.
