How would you feel about flying with me
to L .A. for a few days? They're exactly

what I've been looking for for this new
job.

It looks like they forgot half of my
outfit.

No, that's all of it.

Just the jean? I could die of old age
waiting for another chance like this.

You're right about that.

Yeah, and besides, Ben says the shots
would be very modest.

Then why don't they just put a blouse on
you? Because the whole idea of this ad

is to make everybody think of me with no
clothes on. Do you mean to say that

you're actually considering doing this?
Whatever I decide to do, it's going to

be my decision.

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 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.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Did you lose your mommy?

Go right ahead and make all the
wisecracks you want.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure there's a good
explanation.

I promise not to give you a hard time.

Thank you.

Well, I must admit, it is a little hard
to resist, but I do credit myself with a

certain degree of maturity.

You just relax and have your breakfast.

Oh, Nancy, you got a phone call a few
minutes ago.

Oh, who was it? Well, it didn't leave
his name. Just some guy with a real deep

voice. Said something about you eating
all of his porridge or something?

Oh, Tommy.

Hey,

what's the occasion?

Oh, nothing special.

Uh -huh.

Well, I was going to the library to do
some work on a research paper, and I

doing research. So you thought you'd put
on your designer jeans, three hours'

worth of makeup, curl your hair, make
you feel better about it, right? Right.

Not even in half -price, Elizabeth.

Alan Alderson.

Oh, I thought so.

Who's Alan Alderson?

Oh, he's a friend.

Uh -huh. Filed that with a research
paper.

A good friend. Keep going.

I wish I could. We seem to be stuck in
the good friend stage.

So, I decided to get tough, and today is
the day Alan asks me out or else. Or

else what?

Or else I've wasted three hours and a
good pair of blabbing. Right.

Good luck. Thanks.

Yeah, Jeremy.

I have a hunch this is yours.

Oh, thank you. Hey, you should be
careful. I mean, you know how your

about leaving toys around after you
finish playing with them.

Jeremy, thanks a lot. I'll try to
remember that.

Nancy! Dad, wait.

Before you waste all your creativity,
I've heard them all. You're going to

a hard time coming up with something
original.

Well, how about, why are you dressed
like that?

Oh, I got a modeling job.

A print ad for a toy store. Hey, that's
wonderful.

Why do I get the feeling that you're a
little less than elated?

Well, Dad, all of the time I've spent
dreaming of a glamorous life as a

model. Somehow this isn't exactly what I
had pictured. We all have to start

somewhere and work our way up. Look at
Joanie. She spent almost a year covering

school board meetings and county fairs.
Yeah, but I don't remember Joanie having

to go to work in ponytails and anklets.

especially carrying the stupid teddy
bear. Now, you just do the best job you

can. It'll pay off.

Oh, Dad, you really think so? I hope so.

Oh, Nancy.

Yeah? Don't forget to tell the grown
-ups that you had a nice time.

Do you need some help?

Yeah, I was looking for a friend. He's
supposed to meet me here. What does he

look like?

He's cute.

We get a lot of those.

This one knows he's cute.

We get even more of those.

Um, well, he spends a lot of time
looking at himself in the mirror and

at his fingernail.

Oh, him.

Second table around the corner.

Oh, Elizabeth.

Nice of you to drop by.

I'm sorry I'm late, but I was busy
getting gorgeous.

What interrupted you?

Oh, come on, I'm just kidding.

You look very nice. Thank you.

Listen, while I was waiting, I put
together a list of books that we're

need and where we can find them.

So why don't you get started on them?
I'll be with you in a few minutes.

Where are you going?

I have something to tell that librarian.

What? That I think we have a major
future together.

Oh,

Nicholas,

what is it?

It's about my allowance.

Oh, now, come on. I just raised your
allowance.

I know.

That's the problem.

See, according to Mrs. Rogers, inflation
went up last month more than my

allowance. Do you know what that means?

Yes. Mrs. Rogers has a big mouth.

It means that I'm losing money just by
being alive.

Well, considering the alternative, you
still have a slight edge. But, Dad...

Hold on. That's for me. Nicholas, we'll
have to continue this discussion later.

Oh! David, what are you doing here? I
was just in the neighborhood and I need

favor. Oh, what do you need? I was
wondering if I could leave something

a couple of days. Of course.

Oh, good.

Okay, guys, bring it in.

In the porch in the back, all right?

Well, what is it exactly that you're
leaving?

Me.

And everything you own.

You got kicked out of Paradise Manor?

I didn't think that was possible. What
on earth did you do? I stopped paying my

rent. Oh, well, some landlords can be
unreasonable.

He advised me that he was raising my
rent, which I couldn't afford in the

place. I don't know what I'm going to
do, but I've got to find someplace

cheaper. You're more than welcome to
stay here while you're looking.

Oh, thanks, Dad. But are you sure?

Oh, it'll be great. We can keep an eye
on you, make sure you're all right.

Fix you decent meals?

Yeah, help you out, sort of get you back
into circulation.

And we'll take you with us everywhere,
so you'll never be bored or lonely.

On second thought, it probably won't
take long at all.

You look as tired as

I feel.

I passed tired hours ago.

What comes after tired?

Exhausted. What comes after that?

Dead.

You're getting warm.

Then I have some bad news.

I'm going to live?

No, your modeling agency called. You
have an interview in less than an hour.

Well, I'm just going to have to call
them and tell them to send somebody

I'm too tired to go anywhere tonight.

Abby?

Are you sure this is right?

Mm -hmm.

I wrote it down just like they said it,
and I repeated it back to them to be

sure I got it right.

I don't believe it! I don't believe it.
I've got to get dressed. I'm never going

to make it.

Abby!

What? You are a doll.

Thanks.

Elizabeth, have I told you how nice you
look today?

Forget it, Alan. I'm not going to type a
term paper.

I wasn't going to ask you to type my
term paper.

I was hoping I could talk you into
writing it.

You're cute.

So it's yes?

You're not that cute.

Oh, well, you can't blame me for trying.

Listen, if you want to stick around, I
could help you get started. Oh, no,

you, but I've got to get going.

I've got a hot date.

I have to keep my priorities straight,
you know.

See you tomorrow.

Mary, would you ask me out?

Okay, Elizabeth, what are you doing
Friday night?

No, I'm serious.

I mean if you were a guy.

Oh, you mean that guy?

Well, it looked like he liked you.

Oh, sure, he likes me. He adores me.

He eats lunch with me, sits with me in
class, drives me home from school.

He does everything except ask me out.

Elizabeth, some guys are a little bit
dense.

Now, I bet you this guy is just dying to
go out with you.

All you've got to do is just drop a few
subtle hints.

Why don't you work on it, okay?

Hi, Dad. Oh, hi. Bye, Dad. Where are you
going?

Dad, you won't believe it. Well, try me.
I've got an interview with Ben Catron.

You have an interview with Ben Catron?
Yes. Oh, my gosh. No wonder you're

excited. Who wouldn't be? I know.

Who is Ben Catron?

He's with one of the hottest ad agencies
in California, and he's looking for a

fresh face for his new ad campaign.

Oh, Dad, this could really be my big
break.

Oh, that's wonderful. Good luck, Nancy.

Thanks, Dad. Well, I've got to get
going. I only have 15 minutes to make it

across town.

See you. Oh, Nancy.

Yeah? You better try making it in 10.

How come?

May I help you? Yes, I'm Nancy Bradford.
Yes.

Hi, I have an appointment with Ben
Catron.

Nancy Bradford.

Um, you mean you had an appointment.

You mean I'm too late?

I'm afraid so.

Oh, no.

You see, I was late in getting the
message, and then the traffic was awful,

and... Oh, please.

Couldn't you just squeak me in?

I'm afraid that's impossible.

He's gone for the evening.

Oh, I'm sorry.

So am I.

There's a rumor going around that you
are in a state of financial deprivation.

I'm in what?

Broke. Yeah, I'm in broke, all right.

Well, I'm having some problems of my
own.

I've got to find a place to live, and
this job is taking all of my time.

So I was wondering if you'd like to help
me. For money?

Of course.

All right.

What do I do?

Okay. I'm going to give you a list of
all the requirements, and you go through

the newspapers, and you pick out the
apartments I should look at. This will

me a lot of time, and it will help
supplement your income.

Well, I don't care about that, just as
long as I make some money.

Uh, how much do apartment hunters make?

Five bucks a week.

How about ten?

How about five bucks, or I'll find
myself another apartment hunter.

Uh, five does sound fine.

I thought it would.

I'll have a Florida fizz.

Make that two of those.

Someone should give him a swift kick.

Hmm? Who?

Whoever's responsible for all this gloom
on such a pretty face.

Well, in that case, I'm the one that
should be kicked.

I did it to myself.

I just missed an interview with Ben
Catron.

Oh, you wouldn't understand.

Don't be so sure.

Here.

Oh, no.

You can't be. You're Ben Catron?

And you must be Nancy No -Show Bradford.
I recognized you from your pictures

your agency sent over. I am so sorry I
was late. You see, I got detained and...

Well, it's a long story.

I can't believe it. You're really Ben
Catron?

You look so young.

Just well -preserved.

To tell you the truth, I came here with
the intent of drowning my sorrows, too.

How could you possibly have any?

Easy. I spent the whole day looking at
47 women with the collective charm of a

tree stump.

And I faced the prospect of going back
to my biggest client tomorrow to tell

I couldn't find anyone for his new ad
campaign.

I only have one chance left.

What's that?

How would you feel about flying with me
to L .A. for a few days?

You're exactly what I've been looking
for for this new job.

Oh, good morning.

Good morning.

Did you and Nancy get to the airport on
time?

Barely. And it was all her fault.

How come?

Because if she didn't have such an
exciting career, I wouldn't have taken

wrong turns and been pulled over for
running a stop sign.

You're right. She's obviously the guilty
party. Oh, yes, but I forgave her

because she talked the policeman out of
giving me a ticket. What did she say?

Hello.

I am really so happy for her, Abby.
She's been through so much, not to

what she's put us through. I mean, my
gosh, the correspondence course and

hairstyling, selling encyclopedias by
phone, singing telegrams, the easy art

fiasco, and all she ever wanted was a
job that made her feel good about

should have seen her this morning. I
have never seen her so happy. She was

a little kid. I mean, she was talking a
hundred miles an hour, not paying any

attention to what she was doing. I'll
tell you, Abby, if anybody has ever

deserved success, it's Nancy. And I've
got a feeling that this is really going

to be it. Tom.

As a matter of fact, I think that this
is only the start. Stop.

I don't know how much more of Nancy's
success you can stand.

Good morning, Mr. Catesworth. Hello.

Mr. Isley's running a little late this
morning. But if you'd like to have a

seat. Thanks, Dana.

Do you believe this?

Vernon Isley.

Have you ever worn any of his clothes?

Are you kidding? I can't even afford to
be in the same room with him. I just

think I could be modeling him. Okay,
lady, I want you to calm down.

Okay. Very important.

Yeah. In fact, it's an order.

All right.

So what happens next?

Well, we'll go inside. I'll introduce
you.

He'll probably make you walk around a
little, see how you move.

Then you'll come back outside here and
wait, and I'll give him the pitch.

Okay.

Dan, what if he doesn't like me?

He's an eyesore. He's a tough old bird,
but he's not stupid.

Dad, I need some help. Sure, Nicholas.
What can I do for you?

Well, what's panoramic views and
lavishly contoured landscapes?

Oh, well, that depends. And where did
you see them? Right here in these ads

David's new apartment.

Oh, in that case, a panoramic view is a
window and a lavishly contoured

landscape is the front yard.

Well, how come they don't say that?

Well, that would be boring. I mean,
people wouldn't come out to see what

advertising. Oh, so they lie.

Well, they don't lie exactly.

Well, what do they do?

They just make the truth sound more
appealing.

Why isn't that lying?

It's more like exaggerating.

Well, how come it's different?

That's the way real estate works, see?
So when people go out to see the real

thing, the fancy words stick in their
mind and everything looks a little

Oh, I still don't see... All right,
Nicholas, they lie, they lie.

That's what I thought.

Thanks, Dad.

Nancy. Ben, what's wrong?

I don't know how to tell you this.

He loves you.

Are you kidding?

Ben, that's wonderful.

We have to go back in and sign the
papers. He wants us to get started as

possible. What happens next?

Tomorrow morning we'll shoot the layout
and then you're on your way.

Elizabeth.

I've got a major problem.

Alan, you've always got a major problem.
Now, what is it this time?

My fraternity's having a formal dance
this weekend, and I can't find a date.

Everybody I thought of asking's already
been asked.

Wow, that is tough.

Uh, listen, um, if you're really that
stuck, I suppose I could go with you.

Oh, come on now, Elizabeth.

Be serious. I've got to find a date.

Oh, you know what I mean, Elizabeth.

You're my buddy. I don't think of you
like that.

Like what?

Like one of those girls I'd go out with,
you know.

You know.

Like Carrie Strickle, Beth Barnes.

You mean to tell me you would spend an
entire evening of your life voluntarily

with Beth Barnes?

What would you possibly talk about?
You'd die of boredom.

Elizabeth.

If I want to have some intelligent
conversation, I can have lunch with you.

Yeah, come on. I'm starving.

Champagne for lunch?

Isn't there a law against that?

Not today.

I'd like to propose a toast to my latest
discovery.

And I'd like to compliment myself and my
good taste.

Thank you.

Ben, did you really pick me because you
thought I was right for this job?

Or was it because you were desperate and
you didn't want to face Isley without a

model?

Believe me, I've done that before.

It wasn't pleasant, but I've done it.

Nancy, there's something very special
about you.

A certain innocence.

A vulnerability.

That's what I was looking for.

Well, don't a lot of other models have
that?

Not many.

And this is Isley's first venture into a
casual line.

Designer jeans, western motif.

You need someone refreshing like you.

I hope you never lose that quality.

Well, I don't think you have to worry
about that.

I think you're probably right.

Hi.

Well, that just answered my first
question.

I just came by to see how your talk with
Alan went.

What happened?

That's just it.

Nothing happened.

He doesn't think of me like that.

Like what?

I don't know.

Like whatever it is, they think about
them.

Elizabeth, wait a minute. You lost me.

They who and them who?

They, guys like Alan. And them, the
girls that guys like Alan only go out

You know, married girls with names like
Jennifer and Stephanie, who look like Bo

Derek and have the IQ of a spider fur.

I get the picture.

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Not unless you can get me a special
discount on a frontal lobotomy.

Hi. Nancy, this is Connie Langston, Mr.
Isley's assistant.

Hi, Connie. Nice to meet you. If you two
will excuse me, I have to make an

urgent phone call.

I brought over the outfit that you're
going to be shooting in tomorrow.

Oh, well, I already got it this morning.

That was this morning, and that was
before Mr.

Isley's latest brainstorm.

So now you have a new outfit.

Listen, while I'm here, you might as
well check and make sure they sent the

right size.

It's better to find out now than in the
morning. Yeah, that's true.

What do you think?

Well, uh, the jeans are perfect, but,
uh... The blouse is kind of small.

Oh, see you in the morning.

Connie, I'm serious.

It looks like they forgot half of my
outfit.

No, that's all of it. That's all I'm
going to be wearing?

Just the jeans?

That's the latest brainstorm.

I'm sure Ben will tell you all about it.
I've got to run.

All right, well, I'll get back to you as
soon as I can.

Ben, why didn't you tell me?

I just found out myself.

I usually only come up with the idea
this afternoon.

I'm going to be up all night designing
the layout.

You mean you like this idea?

It doesn't make any difference if I like
it or not.

Isley's my client. My very important
client in this new line is a big step

him. If this is how he feels we should
promote it, I don't have any choice.

But what about me?

Ben, I don't think I can do it.

Well, Nancy, you have to do it.

Well, this Isley guy must have some
compassion. He let you come home.

Yeah, well, that's because Ben told him
that I was sick.

Oh, and the way I feel... Oh, gosh, it
really wasn't a lie.

Nancy, what are you going to do?

I don't know.

Ben's going to reschedule the shooting
for early next week, so I can have a

couple days to think about it. You mean
you're actually thinking about doing it?

I can't help thinking about it.

I mean, a job with Vernon Isley?

I could die of old age waiting for
another chance like this.

You're right about that.

Yeah, and besides, Ben says the shots
would be very modest.

Then why don't they just put a blouse on
you?

Because the whole idea of this ad is to
make everybody think of me with no

clothes on, which makes them look at the
ad more closely, which makes them buy

the jeans.

I really hate this.

I just don't know if I hate it enough to
give it up.

Any suggestions?

Yeah. My first suggestion is that you
make sure Dad doesn't find out anything

about this until you're actually sure of
what you're going to do.

Nancy!

And your second suggestion?

I want you to give me this Catron
Clown's phone number. I want a word with

Dad, it's not Ben's fault.

Well, then whose fault is it? If it's
anybody's fault, it's my own, for being

naive. You know, I really thought I
could make it in this business with nice

features and an outgoing personality.

If this is what you have to do to make
it in this business, you better find

yourself another business.

Dad... And you can tell Ben Catron that
if you haven't already.

I will tell Ben when and what I decide
to tell him.

Do you mean to say that you're actually
considering doing this? I don't know

what I'm going to do.

But it's my life and it's my career.

And whatever I decide to do, it's going
to be my decision.

Well, there are a lot of guys like that.
I think psychologists have a term for

it. Mm -hmm.

Stupidity.

You can go out with stupid girls.

It was a lot easier. You didn't have to
try as hard to impress them.

You're not helping.

You really like this guy, huh?

Just give it some time. It'll wear off.
It can only take so much.

Is that what happened to you? It wore
off?

Yeah, I hit the saturation point. I once
went out with a girl that thought the

salt tox was something a doctor gave to
his patients with high blood pressure.

Great. Now all they have to do is sit
back and hope that Alan goes out with

same girl.

Nicholas, you sure I can afford this?

With a little left over from my
commission.

Are you sure it's worth the effort?

Well, I left it at home, but it really
sounded great.

Okay, let's check it out.

I thought totally natural meant they
didn't serve junk food.

I'm late.

Well, just a little bit.

I can never remember what time this
class meets.

Well, you want to borrow my notes?

No, I'll just take double notes
tomorrow.

I hate history.

It's so historical.

I mean, who really cares about this
stuff?

The only reason I took it was because I
think Dr.

Cox is so cute.

Don't you?

Oh, yeah, he's a regular joy to behold.

Joy to behold, that's what my mom had
printed on her Christmas potholders.

Christmas potholders?

Listen, um, this may sound a little bit
strange, but are you doing anything

Friday night?

Elizabeth! Hi.

Hi.

Who's your friend?

Alan. I would like you to meet Valerie.

Hi, Valerie. Nice to meet you.

I'll bet you say that to everyone you
meet.

Only to those people who look like you.

You mean there are other people at this
school that look like me?

Oh, yeah, dozens. The biology
department's experimenting with clones.

Clones?

You mean they've invented perfumes that
make people look alike?

Oh, well, it's a long story.

Excuse me a minute, Valerie. Could you
excuse us? Where did she come from?

She's in my history class. I figured
she'd be a likely prospect for your frat

party. Certainly seems to be your type,
Alan.

Elizabeth, that girl is unbelievable.

I don't know how I'm ever going to thank
you.

Oh, hi.

Elizabeth tells me you're studying
nuclear physics.

Yeah.

You're going to do the layout. That's
wonderful.

Under one condition.

What's that?

They let me wear a blouse.

Nancy, we've been through all this.

Ben, you and I have.

But we haven't been through it with
Vernon Isley.

There's a reason for that. But you said
he loves me.

Now, what would happen if you told him I
wouldn't do the ad unless they put a

blouse on me?

I don't know.

And I'm not sure I want to find out.

Well, it just doesn't seem fair that we
can't even talk about a compromise.

I know.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid to call him?

No, I...

Well, just a little.

Ben, this is really important to me.

I know.

I'll call him, but I'm not making any
promises.

Ben?

Nancy, what's wrong?

I made Ben call Vernon Isley and tell
him if I had to do something that I felt

wrong about, well, he could just keep
his job. Good. Well, I know how hard

must have been for you to do.

Yeah, especially when Isley told Ben
that if I don't do the layout the way he

wants it, he's going to sue me.

Well, howdy, Capoc.

You look like you could use a stiff shot
of chocolate milk. Better make it

double. Sit down.

You been apartment hunting for David,
huh?

Yeah. What a headache.

Hmm.

Here you go. It's on the house.

Thanks. You know, David doesn't like
anything.

He turned down swimming pools, tennis
courts, plush decor, panoramic views.

Well, maybe he should be a little more
patient.

Maybe he should be a little less picky.

Well, Nicholas, David's going through a
pretty rough time.

I mean, he needs to find a place that's
his own.

He doesn't need panoramic views or
tennis courts or swimming pools.

What he needs to do is find a place that
feels like home.

Maybe you could find a place like that?

You mean start all over?

This is a lot of hard work.

That's why you're getting paid the big
buck.

I'd rather go back to being poor. Life
was a lot easier.

I'll drink to that.

What if I tried talking to him?

Nancy, it wouldn't do any good.

Look, it's not always this way.

Any of my other clients would have
understood your position and been

cooperative.

Isley prides himself on being eccentric,
and he's determined you're not going to

tell him what to do.

Well, why can't he hire another model?
He could, but he wants you.

You don't realize how much that is
saying. He's not the easiest man in the

to please.

And there's only a few weeks left before
he introduces his new line.

He doesn't have time to start searching
again.

Janet says he's just trying to scare me.

I mean, he can't sue me. I don't have
any money.

Heisley doesn't have to sue you. All he
has to do is make sure you get a lot of

bad publicity out of this.

And you get a reputation for being a
troublemaker, and people don't hire

troublemakers.

You can put an end to your career before
it even begins.

Would he do that? Of course.

But why?

Nancy.

Eisley employs over 100 models a year,
all under contract.

If he were to let you out of your
contract, you'd have to do the same for

them. He can't afford to set that kind
of precedent.

I can't believe this.

You know, I felt bad enough when it was
just this job that was at stake.

Now it's my whole career.

Yours and mine.

Eisley's my biggest account.

If you don't do this layout, it's a sure
bet I'll lose him.

Face it, Nancy.

It's got us cornered.

Both of us.

Hi. Hi. What are you doing?

Eating myself into a coma.

Do you want to try something else? What?

Talking about it.

Not as much fun, but a lot less better.

Abby, I don't know what I'm going to do.

I have gotten myself into such a mess.

There's no way out. There's always a way
out.

Yeah? The only one I can see is for me
to do the darn layout. That sounds like

you've already decided.

Well, that's just for right now.

It changes every 15 minutes.

What do you think I should do?

Nancy, you're the one who has everything
at stake.

And you're the one who's going to have
to live with the consequences.

You should do what you think is best.

You make it sound so easy.

No. The easiest thing would be to do
what everybody else is pressuring you

doing. It takes a lot of strength to
ignore all that and do what you think is

right.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Well, if you're about to take to the
streets, I'd say you're probably your

dollar.

I'm trying to change my image.

I'm tired of looking like a cross
between Marie Osmond and a Kewpie doll.

Look, come on, Elizabeth. You're fine
the way you are. Or the way you were.

You don't have to change to make this
guy notice you. Well, nothing else I've

tried has worked.

That's because nothing else you've tried
has made any sense.

I mean, look, you take a guy who makes a
hobby out of collecting dumb blondes

and fix them up with a dumb blonde, it's
like giving a match to a pyromaniac and

pointing towards a haystack.

Well, if you're such an authority, what
do you suggest?

I thought you'd never ask.

Come on. Come here.

Nancy, do you realize what you're
saying? Do you realize what's at stake?

Ben, I've been over it in my head a
hundred times.

The fact is, I just can't do it.

Nancy, what are you proving?

All you're doing is giving some other
girl an opportunity that is rightfully

yours. What's rightfully mine are my
principles.

And taking off my blouse in front of all
of America goes against them.

Fine. But while you're being so self
-righteous, you're hurting a lot of

people. I'm about to lose a client. It's
taken me years of hard work to win

over. How do you justify that?

I'm sorry, Ben.

I really am.

But I have to stick to what I believe
in.

That's all I have left.

Jeremy, the better work.

Are you sure this guy is right? I mean,
good -looking, real mental midget? Yeah,

he's on the football team, and he
flunked introductory water polo. Oh,

think he'll do.

Besides, it's a rest party, and I have
to ask the freshman to get in.

Hello, Fred.

Uh, yeah, this is Elizabeth Bradford
from sociology.

It's not a place, it's a course.

Anyway, um, I was wondering if you were
doing anything tonight after the game.

Um, I meant after you take a shower.

Oh, we've got a lot going on.

Um, well, how would you like to go to a
frat party with me?

Mm -hmm, yeah, there'll be lots of food.

Of course, yeah, there'll be booze.

You would?

Oh, great.

Night,

Jimbo.

Hey, Val, you think you'll be okay alone
for a few minutes?

I should really go over to the buffet
line and talk to some of those people.

How come?

Well, it's sort of my job. See, I'm Rush
Chairman.

They aren't moving fast enough.

Right.

Here, now.

Don't go away.

Hi, how you doing?

Elizabeth?

Hi. Hi. What are you doing here?

Oh, my date's the Russian.

You going out with a freshman?

Fred? This is Alan.

Oh, Fred, hi.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, hi.

I'm a friend of Elizabeth's.

Elizabeth tells me you're interested in
pledging. Anything I can tell you about

fraternity life?

Yeah, where's the cake?

Oh, well, we don't have a keg, but
there's a picture on that table over

Thanks.

She's cute, huh?

Oh, Fred, he'll do.

Is he always so hungry?

Only after a big game. Then the football
team.

Ah.

Well, does he come with a suit or is
that sold separately?

What's wrong with his suit?

He looks like he belongs on top of a
disco wedding cake.

I think you're jealous.

I think you better go get Fred before he
eats the chandelier.

Elizabeth!

You want a brew?

No, thanks.

to see how you were doing.

Not terrific.

Look, if it makes you feel any better, I
think you did the right thing.

Thanks, Dad.

Freddy's under the refreshment table.

I think he might wake up by tomorrow
morning if you're lucky.

Someone is sleeping under the table?

That's right, Valerie.

A wicked witch gave him a poison apple.

Maybe you should go give him a kiss and
see if that'll revive him.

I'll try.

Do you want me to drive you home? No,
thanks. I called a cab.

Besides, how would Valerie find her way
back from the punch bowl without you to

show her?

How can you talk to me about Valerie
when you're out with Godzilla's nephew?

Now, there you go again.

You always judge things on the surface.

Like Fred. Now, did it ever occur to you
that underneath that crude exterior

there might be a warm, sensitive,
intelligent guy inside?

Only if Fred ate one.

I'm sorry, Elizabeth.

I just would have thought you'd be
attracted to somebody a little more...

you.

Well, yeah.

Now you know how I feel every time you
ignore me and fall head over heels for

some gorgeous blonde airhead.

Elizabeth, I've never ignored you.

Is that what this is all about?

You and me?

Elizabeth, I didn't realize.

I'm sure you didn't.

Nicholas, I can't look at another
apartment today. But this one is really

special. I've seen your idea of really
special.

But, David, I spent all morning looking
for the right apartment.

I even gave up going to Ride Royal.

Nicholas, I'm really exhausted. I'll go
look at it tomorrow.

But what if someone else gets?

Then we'll find another one.

But I picked this one out just for you.

What are we waiting for?

Let's go before someone else gets here.

Right.

You want to come in?

And don't say it's a free country.

Come on in.

If you're looking for a mirror, there's
one in the living room.

I wasn't.

I was trying to think of a clever way to
apologize for the way I've been

treating you.

So what'd you come up with?

How's this?

I'm sorry.

Alan, it's not very clever.

Look, I... I think I've been a real
jerk.

Oh, well, if you're looking for a second
opinion, you've come to the right

place.

I'm trying to apologize to you. Will you
give me a break?

I love your logic. I know I'm a jerk,
but I admit it, so that makes it okay.

Will you let me explain?

Sure.

See, you and I have been friends for so
long.

And I guess I just got used to the idea
of, you know, you being my pal, my

sidekick. And I just thought, no, I just
didn't think.

Well, last night I realized you're
right.

We like each other.

We have a lot of fun together.

And I don't see any reason why we
shouldn't be going out.

But there is a reason.

See, last night I realized something,
too.

I realized that the whole time I was mad
at you for not seeing me as I am, I

really wasn't seeing you either.

And now that I have, I don't want to go
out with you.

Goodbye, Alan.

Goodbye?

I know this is new to you. It's called
rejection.

Elizabeth.

Goodbye, Alan.

Folks, just take your time and look
around.

And stop by my office on your way out
and let me know what you decide.

Oh, thanks. We will.

See you. Yeah.

Nicola, you were right. This place is
great.

It feels comfortable. It's got
character.

It's affordable.

Are you going to take it?

I don't know.

What's wrong?

Well, nothing's wrong. Everything's
absolutely perfect, but I just don't

it's the right place for me. I don't
know why. It's just a gut instinct.

Yeah?

Hi, I'm Maureen from across the hall.

I just wanted to volunteer my services
if you need any help moving in.

Oh, thanks.

That's very nice of you.

Well, just knock any time.

Yeah.

Gut instincts are subject to change
without notice.

Dan.

I saw your father outside. He told me to
come on back.

I brought you a peace offering.

Oh, they're beautiful.

I don't usually make a habit of this,
but we're celebrating.

We are?

I just called Vernon Isley and told him
he had two choices.

He could either shoot that layout with
you, fully clothed, or he could find

himself a new ad agency.

What did he say?

He said he could find himself a new ad
agency.

I am really sorry.

What are you going to do?

Sell a couple of my winter homes.

I'll live.

Well, if that's what happened...

Well, what are we celebrating?

For starters, I managed to convince
Isley that letting you out of your

would not be as harmful to him as all
the bad publicity he would get from

you. Are you kidding?

Oh, thank you.

You know, you didn't have to go out on a
limb for me.

I knew what I was facing when I made my
decision.

So did I.

You see, I've been in this business a
long time, and I've made all the

concessions, which is a nice way of
saying that I sold out.

When you walked out of my office, I had
to respect you.

Because you had done something that I
wish I still had the courage to do.

And then I thought, maybe I can. Maybe
there's still enough of that left in me.

So I picked up the phone and called
Isley.

I may have lost my biggest client, but I
think I gained something even more

important.

Well, Nicholas, I gotta hand it to you.
I love this place.

Oh, when do I get paid?

As soon as I find my checkbook.

How much?

Well, I figure five bucks, just like we
agreed.

Plus, ten is a bonus for doing such a
terrific job.

Wow!

Fifteen dollars!

Will you be careful?

I've never had that much money in one
time in my life.

Well, now you get a taste of how the
other half lives. I can't believe it.

this goes over on that table. Be
careful.

I think I left my checkbook in the
bedroom. I'll go get it. Okay.

So, what are you going to do with all
that money?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe I'll get a new baseball mitt or a
soccer ball.

Or maybe I'll just save it and buy
milkshakes every day for the rest of my

Wow. I don't know how I'm going to ever
decide.

Oh, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

I guess I just decided.
