Is this your family?

It's my family. Must be great for you to all be together.

Maybe someday you can come for dinner. Maybe you can come next week.

How about tonight?

You took her to your house?

I'm convinced I can help Darlene and I'm not about to give up on her. I wouldn't

want that girl around my kids.

She scares me. Don't let her break us up. I won't let anybody break us up.

I promise.

Darlene told me everything.

You've seen her?

I'm going to see her every chance I get.

There's a magic in the early morning we found

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...

Always spend our days like bright and shiny new dawn.

If we're ever puzzled by the changing time.

There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen.

It is enough to fill our lives with love.

Nicholas, aren't you afraid you'll take off? Elizabeth, can I borrow your hair

dryer? Are you kidding? It's still full of hamster hair from the last time you

borrowed it.

I didn't know they shed it.

Uh, Nicholas, why the sudden interest in your appearance?

Oh, I don't know. It's my new slogan.

In order to do your best, you have to look your best.

Ah, new girlfriend, huh?

You must weigh a ton.

Well, we're a very heavy group.

Oh, geez, with jokes like that, you're lucky you're playing the boondocks.

Hey, don't knock the boondocks. With a couple of more gigs like this, we can

hire somebody to do the work.

They're paying that much for one night at Citrus Heights?

No, not yet, but maybe soon. The band's really coming together.

Besides, we finally got a look. We finally got personality.

What do you think?

The fringe is nice. Aren't you afraid the rhinestones may spook the buffalo?

The problem is we just don't know class when you see it. I'll be beating the

girls off with a stick.

Did you see what was just going on in the driveway?

Oh, you mean Tommy overloading his van? No, I mean, did you see who was helping

him?

Jeremy was helping him.

Jeremy? Helping? That's amazing.

No, Tom, it's wonderful. I think he's finally beginning to feel like a part of

this family.

Yeah, well, he has you to thank for that. I never had much hope for him. You

worked a miracle.

No. I had a lot to work with.

Go right ahead. I'll keep my eyes closed.

Why don't you stick around? You might learn something.

I'm sorry, but I'm late for an audition.

Audition? Don't you work today?

Well, this is work, Dad. See, the brokerage house is doing a TV

they're using real employees.

Little do they know, the star is in their midst.

Well, I've got to get going, or I'm going to be late.

Um, you can keep on doing what I wasn't watching.

Thank you.

Darling, you have made terrific.

Terrific progress.

I'm really proud of you. You didn't miss a single day of school last week.

You got a B on your history test.

Great. Great improvement.

Mrs. Youngblood's going to be really pleased when she gets back.

I don't have to go back to her, do I?

She's your regular counselor.

But look how much better I'm doing with you.

You make me want to work hard, Dr. Bradford.

Well, think about it, okay?

Is this your family?

That's my family.

Must be great for you to all be together.

Which one's your favorite?

Well, I don't have a favorite.

I mean, people don't compare.

Come on, you can tell me.

No, Darlene.

They're unique.

As unique as you are.

If you met them, you'd see what I mean.

You mean maybe I could get to meet them?

Well, sure, maybe someday.

Yeah, sure.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

That's just one of those things people say to be nice.

No, darling, I meant it.

Maybe someday you can come for dinner. Maybe you can come next week.

Oh, I can't. My grandmother's operation is next week.

So then the week after.

How about tonight?

Tonight? Yeah, I'm all alone tonight.

Okay. Tonight it is.

That's super, Bernice, just super. We'll let you know, sweetheart.

Oh, thank you.

Next girl, please.

Hi, I'm Nancy Bradford. Hello. Hi, Nancy.

Hi.

I don't suppose you've had any modeling experience, Nancy?

Um, well, if you count the Miss Sacramento pageant.

Who's counting?

Walk a little for us, Nancy.

Walk?

Yeah. Big smile, please.

That's easy.

Okay.

Ah, super, Nancy, just super. Thanks. We'll let you know as we go.

Oh.

Mm -hmm.

Bye.

Wait a minute.

Super.

Nancy.

Sweetheart.

I don't want to break your heart, but you're all wrong for this spot.

However, and it's a big however, I have a client, very heavy TV,

who's looking for someone to do his commercials.

And we think you'd be just super.

Me? Super? At the very least.

Go on, ask her.

Will, you're chicken.

I am not.

Then ask her. I'm waiting for the right moment.

Yeah, like next Tuesday.

I don't understand.

Here.

Susan, don't forget to set an extra place for Darlene.

Oh, but Tommy's up in Sister's Heights, so it's even.

All right, thanks.

I'll get it.

I'm looking for the Bradfords.

Well, he couldn't have come to a better place. We have an epidemic of Bradford's

in various shapes and sizes.

Come on in. I'm Jeremy.

I'm Darlene.

Are you a Bradford?

No, I'm just a trainee.

Hi.

Hi.

So I walked in. Easy Art took one look at me and said I was perfect. Perfect

the part. Easy Art? Who is that?

Oh, you know, Dad. Easy Art of Easy Art Heating and Cooling. Sounds like a real

class operation.

I know it's not Tiffany's, but the pay is good for a few hours of work.

Easy Art. Easy Art. Why does that name sound so familiar to me?

Dad, you probably saw the commercials in the little stores. You know, the ones

that say, seven convenient locations throughout the greater Sacramento area.

little igloos on the top? That's them.

Ah, isn't that something?

I used to live right by one when we first moved here from Oklahoma.

Oh, so, um, Darlene, what'd you do in Oklahoma?

Oh, just about what I do here, I guess.

My dad was in the oil field.

You mean with gushers and everything?

Sure. I even saw one once.

The one my dad was killed in.

Darlene, I'm sorry.

Oh, don't go feeling bad on my account.

That was a long time ago, and I really don't remember him too much.

Except how he used to pick me up and throw me way up over his head and catch

I bet you used to do that, didn't you?

Oh, yes, I've done a lot of throwing around here.

I still have the bad back to prove it.

But it was all worth it.

I bet my dad was an awful lot like you.

Oh, thanks, darling.

I'm flattered.

Oh, I'm the one who's flattered.

For being invited here. This is the best evening I've had in years.

Ask them if they need another trainee.

Bartley, I'm ready. Art's ready?

Everybody ready?

Well, we're having a minor problem with the girl, Art.

Art's not going to like that.

What problem? What?

Oh, well, she's... Nancy, come on, please.

We have a deadline.

I know, I know.

It's just that I feel a little... Stupid.

But just take some getting used to, that's all.

Okay.

Great. Just great.

Does she look great? Great.

She looks super.

I'm afraid she'll melt the igloo.

How are you feeling?

Well, stupid that I ever tried roller skates.

Abby, I've given up on recreation. It's too dangerous.

I'll stick to work.

That's good. In that case, I'll give you back most of your case files.

Most? Yeah.

Darlene Scott has asked to stay on with me.

Do you want her?

Yeah, very much. She's made terrific progress in the past three weeks.

Let me tell you, Abby.

With Darlene, nothing is ever what it seems.

You think she's improved because that's what she wants you to think.

No, no.

I have proof, Helen. Her grades, her attendance.

Oh, she has the ability to do the work, but she doesn't do it without a reason.

She can connive and manipulate a person like no one I've ever seen.

I find that very hard to believe.

Well, I believe it enough to recommend that her case be turned over to a

psychiatrist. A psychiatrist?

Helen, that seems a bit extreme.

Abby, please don't be fooled.

You're very good, but this is only your first job in the field.

Now, look, Helen, I'm convinced I can help Darlene, and I'm not about to give

on her. She responded beautifully when she came to the house for dinner.

You took her to your house?

Yeah.

You have a lot more courage than I have.

I wouldn't want that girl around my kids.

She scares me.

Bradford residence. This is Jeremy.

Oh, hi.

Yeah, tonight?

Are you kidding? I'd love to.

Great. Just tell me where.

Uh -huh.

All right, I'll see you then.

Bye.

Do you believe it? I got a date.

With who?

Darlene. Darlene!

All right.

Well, wait.

Do you realize we're about to eat the down payment for my car?

Huh? It only cost $3.

Yeah, well, I just started saving.

Here's to your car.

I'll eat to that.

I hope I get to ride in it.

A lot.

Yeah, me too.

A lot.

Do you think that we could have sent the payment checks to the bank already? Is

that possible?

Abby?

Abby?

Boy, I can see why this is a futile effort until Jeremy gets home.

Tom, I'm sorry. I was just wondering... I was wondering if Helen could be right

about Darlene.

I checked her records, and she has a very rough history.

Jeremy doesn't need that kind of influence.

Oh, how much influence can she have on one date?

Come on, you guys. Nancy's commercial is on. Oh.

Nicholas, don't you have some homework to do?

Dad, this is homework.

If it's good, I'm going to do a report on it.

It's time. It's time.

Hi there.

Art Simpson, president of Easy Arts Heating and Cooling, with some great

Friends, we've just opened up our eighth friendly store in the East Roseville

Shopping Center.

And we're going to have us a special winter sale on air conditioners. So why

don't you do yourself a favor and stop in any Easy Yard store and enter our

giant opening sweepstakes where the grand prize is a trip to Honolulu,

We'll also be giving away 20 ,000 BTU air conditioners.

Plus hundreds and hundreds of prizes and soft drinks and balloons for you little

kitties. So friends, come on by and see us here.

If you need some heat or you need some cold, easy art won't be under soap.

Yeah.

Well, so much for my report.

Nicholas.

Nancy, I thought it was really very interesting.

Yeah, interesting.

You looked pretty.

Very pretty.

You shouldn't be so upset.

I can do my report on something else, you know.

I really had a good time, thanks.

Yeah, same here.

Your paint's peeling.

I know.

Yeah, I figured you did. I mean, it's kind of obvious the way...

Good

night.

Hi, Jennifer. You don't know me, but...

Hello, Jennifer.

You don't know me, but we have study hall together.

Allow me to introduce myself.

Hey, I kind of like that.

Allow me to introduce myself.

Oh, wait a minute. Don't tell me. The last time this was washed was when Mary

was going out with that doctor. The married one.

Called working off anxiety.

Tom, I'm really concerned about Jeremy.

I'm afraid he's going to lose the progress he made since he came here, and

don't think he and Darlene should see each other again.

Do you plan on telling him that?

Yeah, yeah, if he ever comes home.

Well, you know, he's really not all that late. Why don't you wait until his

first date is over? Maybe he'll make that decision by himself.

How can you be so philosophical?

It's easy. You're using up all the worry around here.

Oh. Hi. Hi.

Get some late. Yes, I'm glad you noticed that. Have you been with Darlene this

whole time?

Huh? Yeah.

Listen, Jeremy, we should talk about Darlene. I already know about her. She's

the greatest girl I ever met. The greatest.

Thanks for introducing us, Af. You made my world.

Do you want to trade some of the cheap philosophy for some of that worry?

Is Mr. Bailey ever on the warpath this morning? And guess who he's looking for?

I don't know, Bernice. Who?

You.

to introduce myself.

Well?

Well, what?

I'm allowing.

Yeah. Well, I'm Nicholas Bradford, and I think we should go out for a hamburger

Saturday night.

Why should I?

Well, I don't know.

Because I asked you, I guess.

I'm really used to older boys.

They're much more sensitive, you know.

And I'm into sensitive men.

Well?

I get a rash every time I wear polyesters.

I mean a man who's not afraid to show his feelings.

A man who's not afraid to cry at movies.

A man who's at home in the kitchen as well as the garage.

The kitchen?

Of course the kitchen. A man who can cook is my kind of man.

Well, maybe Saturday night I can cook dinner for you instead of hamburgers.

Get in the kitchen.

Very good.

Then I'll see you Saturday night.

Ciao. Right. For ciao.

I'll call you.

Well, what happened?

I'm not sure.

You mean she said maybe?

I mean, I got three days to become her kind of man.

Come on, Earl. What is he?

What do you say we all run out and unload my van? If we pull together, we

get her done in no time.

No way, Tommy. You still owe me from the last time. Yeah, me too.

Me too.

And Sanders, who's not a candidate.

I don't believe this.

Whatever happened to my loving, cooperative, helpful sisters?

They left.

Nancy, I was just about to... Tommy, look.

Don't bug me, would you?

I did quit my job at the brokerage.

You quit the only job you've ever kept?

You'd quit too, Dad.

Do you know what Mr. Bailey said?

He said that the commercial was degrading and derogatory to the good

of Bates, Callahan, and Chester.

And if I didn't quit the modeling immediately, he'd fire me.

Well, I told him what he could do with his good reputation, and I walked out.

can't do that.

I think you ought to talk to a lawyer, Nance. Yeah, why don't I call Janet?

Wait a minute. There's more. There's more.

I got a message at the office to call Easy Art.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be in all his commercials.

I'm going to be a full -time Eskimo.

I hope you didn't break your woofer.

I beg your pardon?

Your woofer. Like in Twitter and woofer.

They're components in your speaker.

I hope you didn't break them.

Yeah, well, actually, these aren't the kind of speakers that have woofers and

tweeters.

Well, even if they don't, you shouldn't drop them on the ground.

Well, then maybe you'd like to help me.

No, I'm not very good at hard labor.

Is that right?

What are you good at?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Yeah, that's why I asked.

Who are you, anyway?

Wait a minute. Shouldn't I be asking you the same question?

Maybe, but I asked you first.

All right, then.

I'm Tommy Bradford.

Ah, a Bradford.

I'm Darlene Scott.

Well, have you been hanging around our driveway long?

No. I just came by to see Abby.

Well, I don't think she's here.

Then I guess you'll just have to drive me home.

Have you seen Tommy yet? He isn't home yet.

He isn't home yet?

That's what I said.

Listen, where you come from, did you ever hear of dessert called chocolate

mouse?

It can't be what it really sounds like, you think?

I don't know, but Melvin said his uncle had chocolate ants. Hey, just knock it

off!

What's wrong? You on a diet?

Yes, what is it? Hello, Mr. Bradford.

Johnny Johnson, Easy Arts Heating and Cooling. Oh, we're not interested.

Oh, Mr. Johnson, I'm sorry. I didn't realize.

No sweat. Happens all the time. Yes, come in. You must want to see Nancy.

Nope, I just need someone to sign for this air conditioner.

Air conditioner?

What air conditioner?

That one.

Nancy!

How can you turn down a free air conditioner?

Like this.

Thank you very much for your trouble, but we don't need an air conditioner.

Why not?

Well, in the first place, it's the middle of the winter.

But summer will be here soon.

Yes, and when summer gets here, we already have air conditioners. They're

windows, and you'll find them conveniently located throughout the

house. Mr. Bradford, it is very important to Easy Art that Nancy use the

products so that she can be a legitimate spokesperson.

Right, and if I refuse, I'll probably lose my job. Then I'll have to mooch off

people and borrow lots of money.

Where do I sign?

You know, cooking dinner for a girl is a pretty big undertaking on your first

date. Thanks, Dad.

I'm growing up. Yeah, I guess you are.

Does that mean I get a bigger allowance?

No, no. It means that now you're mature enough to appreciate your present

allowance. Hi.

Sorry I'm late. I got a little sidetracked. It's okay.

I left some dinner in the refrigerator for you and Jeremy.

Wasn't Jeremy with you?

No. But I was with a friend of yours.

Who? Darlene Scott.

Darlene Scott?

Yeah.

Tommy, what happened? Tell me exactly what happened.

What could happen? I gave the girl a ride home. No, Tommy, this is important.

Yeah, come on, Tommy. Tell us all about it.

Jeremy, wait a minute. I'll talk to Tommy, okay? Wait a minute. My girl

visit. This creep's trying to hustle her away.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, don't play innocent to me. I ever catch you near her again, I'm gonna

flatten you. Jeremy, you go to your room. Take it easy.

Come on. Oh, that's just great. He's the backstabber and I get punished.

Would somebody mind telling me what's been happening around here?

I think it's obvious that Jeremy has fallen for this girl.

Well, how was I supposed to know that with the way she was coming on to me?

did? Sure.

That's great.

Tommy. You see, Darlene has a lot of problems. She was sent to Abby for

counseling. Well, you should counsel her not to chase two guys in the same

house. I better apologize to Jeremy.

It's my responsibility. I'm the one that brought her home.

Oh, you had no way of knowing what the girl would do?

No, I could have checked her records earlier, but I was so taken in by her. I

mean, if I'd been aware enough, I could have anticipated this whole thing.

For heaven's sakes, you're a counselor, not a mind reader.

I'll tell you one thing. It's not going to happen again.

Nicholas, what are you doing out here?

Oh, Jeremy needed more room to throw stuff.

What?

Listen, are you going to be here Saturday night?

No, why?

I didn't want you hustling Jennifer.

Look, Jeremy, I... Just save it, huh, Bradford?

Bradford?

Hi, darling.

You always do the nicest things for me.

History is my favorite class to get called out of. Why don't you sit down?

have a lot to talk about.

Sounds serious.

Yeah, it is.

I think that the two of us need to come to a, well, to a new understanding.

About what?

Let's just start with Jeremy. I don't know what he's told you, but see, he's

come out of a very bad time in his life.

Then he's really lucky he has you.

I don't know about that.

See, I may have let a situation occur that's hurt him very much.

I want you to try to understand this, okay?

See, I feel the need to protect Jeremy, and I don't want to hurt you.

What do you mean?

I want you to take a look at how your behavior with Tommy has created a very

impact on Jeremy.

Why? What did I do? You know what you did, Darlene.

I'm talking about the game with Tommy.

Now, Tommy can handle it, but Jeremy just can't.

Wait a minute.

Are you his counselor or mine?

Well, I've thought a lot about that, and I think what would be best for both of

us is if you go back to Mrs.

Youngblood as your counselor.

No!

Look, Darlene, the feelings of my family are involved now, see, and I just can't

be objective for you.

In other words, you're dumping me.

No, I'm not dumping you. And you know that. You know I care about you. I only

want what's best for you.

I've heard that before.

And every time it was the same old lie.

I mean it.

Oh, sure.

I thought you were something special.

But you're just like all the rest.

Nicholas, it's only Thursday. Aren't you starting a little bit early?

Well, I'm just practicing.

Do you need any help?

Oh, that's okay.

I'm just having a little trouble with the tibbles and the tisps.

Your what?

See right there? Tibbles and tisps.

Nicholas, those are abbreviations. See, now a tibble is a tablespoon, right?

And a tisp is a basic teaspoon.

I couldn't find them. Now, where do we keep the cognac?

Cognac?

Yeah, whatever. I need eight tibbles of it.

What are you making?

Boudoir, spice, souffle?

Can I cookbook it?

The Sensuous Bachelor's Cookbook?

Yeah, I got it at the library.

See, Jennifer's into sensitive men, so I figured it was a good choice.

Oh, uh, well, um, sensuous and sensitive aren't exactly the same thing. Oh,

yeah? What's the difference?

It is... Is it something I need to know for Saturday night?

No, no.

I don't think so.

That look on your face as you didn't drop in for chit -chat.

It's that obvious, huh?

Yeah, it's on your mind. Can I talk to you? Sure. Come on in.

Go up a chair.

Uh, Nance, how serious are you about this job with EDR?

Well, considering it's my only job at the moment, I'd say rather serious. Why?

Well, I missed your commercial, you know, and I wanted to see it, so I asked

station if they had a tape, and they said they refused to show EDR

Refused?

Why?

Well, here. I got these out of the morgue at the station.

What?

He's a crook, Nance.

Oh, Joanie, these are very old articles.

Well, maybe he's reformed.

Look, Joanie, the man gave us a very expensive air conditioner.

So his advertising would be perfectly honest.

Now, that doesn't sound like a crook to me.

Look, I know you're trying to help me.

But I know what I'm doing.

So just...

Do you smell something?

Yeah. Look.

It's smelly.

It's Gavin.

No, it's the air conditioner.

What's wrong? What's wrong? Hi, Dad.

It's the air conditioner. We're having a little problem.

Well, I want to talk to that EZR. He has the big problem.

Jeremy, hi.

Can we talk?

Yeah, well, I'm real busy. Why don't you just go talk to Tommy?

Wait a minute.

I know how it looks.

It's not your fault.

I didn't see anybody force you into his van.

You know it all, huh?

Then maybe you know the whole thing was Abby's idea.

Abby? Not Abby. That's right. She told Tommy to take me home.

But why?

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

She wants to split us up.

No. Sure.

She called me into her office today and said I couldn't see you. Just watch.

She's going to lay it on you next.

Promise me you won't listen, Jeremy.

Don't let her break us up.

I won't let anybody break us up.

I promise.

Not to worry, Mr. Bradford. It's just a loose fan belt.

Caused it to overheat.

Huh? You're sure that's all it is? Well, no, but I'm probably pretty close.

You want real close, huh?

Well, see, I don't normally do this, but Easy Art was so insistent.

What I can do is I can cut the air off and have a serviceman out here in a

couple of days.

A couple of days?

First thing tomorrow?

Right away.

I've been waiting for you. I knew you would be. Well, I got to talk to you.

I figured you'd say that.

You know what I figure? I figure you're still real upset about Darlene.

Come on, Abby. Tell the truth. You're upset about her. That's right. I am

that she hurt you. And I want you to understand where she's coming from.

why don't you just save the lecture? Because Darlene told me everything.

You've seen her?

When? Just now. And I'm going to see her every chance I get.

Jeremy, I don't think that's wise.

I wasn't exactly asking your opinion.

Well, maybe you better hear it.

Now listen, Darlene has more problems than I can handle or you can handle. She

can only be trouble for you. Now I want you to think about what I'm trying to

tell you. There's nothing to think about. It didn't work when you tried to

us up through Tommy, and it isn't working now.

Yeah, Dad, what happened to the heat?

I'll bet Easy Arts' head clutch turned off the heat instead of the air

conditioner. Oh, well, I'll get some more blankets.

Well, save some for me.

Oh, you're still up.

Yeah, I can't sleep.

Why, because of the cold?

No, because of the trouble I've created for Jeremy.

You know, you haven't read that book since you finished your thesis.

Oh, no, I was looking for answers.

There aren't any.

So awful.

Jeremy's back where he was when he started. He doesn't trust us anymore,

afraid of what Darlene might try to do next.

Why? Like what?

Well, she was real angry with me.

See, I think in her mind she thinks I was rejecting her, so I'm afraid she

try to get back at me through Jeremy.

Well, do you really think she's capable of doing something like that?

Yeah, I do. Helen tried to warn me, but I didn't listen, see, because I thought

we had such a deep rapport.

You know, sometimes...

I just see what I want to see, you know what I mean?

Do you have any suggestions?

Well, yes, just two. The first one is this.

We've got to hope that Jeremy trusts us, and if he doesn't trust us, well, then

we've got to trust him.

You've brought him a long way. He should be able to figure out, Darlene. That's

wishful thinking.

Suggestion number two?

Oh, well, we'll discuss that after a good night's sleep.

Tom. Did you hear that, Tom?

What? Did you hear that?

Hear what?

That noise.

What noise?

That noise.

Go back to sleep. It's just a milkman.

Tom, we don't have a milkman.

That's it, Nicholas.

Get to sleep.

Oh, Dad, can I stay up, please? I've got the whole menu. Count it out to the

split second. If I go to bed, I'll ruin my whole schedule for the day.

It's 5 o 'clock in the morning. You'll freeze to death.

Dad, I'm young. I can take it. Besides, if I had a paper route, I'd be out on

the mean streets freezing.

At least now I can freeze in the safety of my own arms.

Oh, all right, Nicholas. Just keep the noise down.

Repairment at all?

Finished, Dad.

I don't think you'll be having any more trouble, Mr. Bradford. Well, what is

this? What's the bill?

Bill? What bill?

Eight hundred dollars?

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of in my whole life.

Wait a minute.

This is new equipment. It should be under warranty or something.

Warranty? Are you kidding?

You don't make any money on a warranty.

Well, don't you understand?

Yes.

I'm beginning to think I do.

Uh -oh.

That's where you've been hiding.

Hey, just stay out of my way if you know what's good for you. Oh, I know what's

good for me. The question is to you.

Yeah, I know.

Because I know what really happened between Darlene and you.

If you knew what really happened, you'd be apologizing.

I should apologize because Abby made you take Darlene home?

Abby? Is that what Darlene told you? She's lying.

Hey, one more crack like that and you'll be playing guitar and crutches.

Don't push your luck, Jeremy. Darlene isn't worth it.

Hey, take that back.

I'll take it back.

But you just think about everything that Abby's done for you. And then you tell

me who's really lying.

Yeah? I see the problem.

Somebody gave you our special instead

of our top of the line, which you're supposed to get. Just a clerical error.

And I'll replace the unit as soon as possible.

Oh, and Mr. Bradford, as for this... There now.

Everybody happy?

Everybody happy?

And how about my little gold mine? Are you happy?

Well, there's something I just don't understand, Artie.

What's the difference between your special and your top of the line?

Oh, well, in simple terms, the top of the line has more metal, thicker

bearings, and the special has more plastic.

You ready to go, Johnny?

Not just yet, Johnny.

Then the special must wear out more quickly, huh?

Let's just say they don't last forever.

You want to grab the stuff, Jenny?

Just a minute, Johnny.

And then when they do break down and people call you out to fix them, you fix

them because they think they're under warranty, right?

But you charge them a bundle because there is no warranty.

Oh.

Well, you got quite a head for business, little lady.

No. For this kind of business, I think I need a nose.

Because it stinks.

And I don't want to have any part of it.

You can take your air conditioner and your job and get out of here.

Now, Johnny.

Me too.

I was afraid you wouldn't get my message. My grandmother's kind of

I got it, but I didn't understand it.

I know. I was kind of mysterious.

I didn't want her to know how stupid I was.

Stupid? Yeah, would you believe it? I locked the keys in my grandmother's car.

She has a car?

Yeah, right over here.

She sent me to do her shopping.

When I got out, I left the keys under the seat and locked all the doors.

dumb, huh?

Well, doesn't she have another key?

That's the problem. I lost it last month.

You gotta help me, Jeremy, or she'll never let me drive her car again.

Yeah, what can I do?

Well, isn't there some way people can get in without a key?

Yeah.

See, I knew you could help.

That took a lot of courage. I'm very proud of you.

Yeah, but I'm still out of a job. Well, the way I see it, it's better to be out

of a job than to be out of principles.

Thanks, Dad.

You know, despite everything, I think modeling was the best job I ever lost.

But who says you have to stop just because easy art was such a hard

If it's the career you want, go for it.

You really think I could make it?

Of course I do.

You're beautiful.

Well, it's something I inherited.

From my dad.

You make your phone call?

Yeah. Grandma worries if I'm late.

How's it coming?

Oh, you won't be too late.

I locked the keys inside.

Really? It's your car?

No, it's hers. It's my grandmother's.

May I see your driver's license?

I don't have one.

And it's not my car.

He just said we'd get some wheels and go for a ride.

I told him we could get into trouble.

What's wrong with you?

He says he does this all the time.

Wait, she's lying.

I'm lying? Who's breaking in?

Don't let him hurt me, officer. Just hold it, son. Put your hands on the car

spread your feet. Come on. You don't understand. Just move it.

His poor Aunt Abby will be so embarrassed.

Abby?

Don't be surprised when she lets you down, too.

You did all this just... to hurt Abby.

Why not?

She hurt me.

I'm sorry for you, darling.

I'm real sorry.

I really hated making you come down here to get me.

I've seen police stations before. Don't worry.

I don't worry for a long time.

She really put one over on me. Hey, she put one over on all of us.

I want to tell you something, okay?

I want you to imprint this on your brain.

I love you, Jeremy.

And I would never, ever lie to you.

I know, but at the time...

I really could have liked Darlene, you know?

I know.

I saw how you felt.

I guarantee you that her will go away.

I just keep wondering what's going to happen to her.

Probably for the best. I mean, Helen and I will recommend to the judge that she

get the psychiatric care that she really needs.

I'm glad I got you, Abby.

I'm glad you're back, Jeremy.

I'm real glad.

So things are cool?

Things are cool.

And the entry... And for

dessert... Mouseline

chocolate.

Oh, oh, muchas gracias, Nicholas.

Muchas gracias.

Oh.

I didn't think he could do it, but that was a very good dinner.

He's so sweet.

I bet he's really tired.

the things we Bradfords do for love.

Mmm,

Nicholas.

It's all so heavenly.

I propose a toast to our chef.

Nicholas?

Nicholas?
