Never had that kind of a problem with
the boys, though. I never had to worry

about the girls that they dated.

I want to.

The instructor takes these through the
first time. They're specialists.

They know what they're doing.

Is your mother all right?

Doesn't madam look all right to you?

Oh, yes, sir.

A vision.

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.

If we're ever puzzled by the changing

time, there's a plate of homemade

wishes on the kitchen window sill.

And it is enough to fill our lives with
love.

March is here.

So? So, February is over.

So? So, this family finally made it
through those seven days in February

you girls bring home those loonies that
drive me crazy.

Dad, you always exaggerate what happened
during February break. Okay, everybody.

You can finally listen to noise on your
stereo.

Oh, how interesting.

Noise is the new name of my band. We've
got a demo record. Oh, congratulations.

We all pitched in for the recording
session.

Now we're going to lobby every radio
station in town until we get a disc

to listen to our music.

After that, we're on our way.

I'm sure you'll all want one of these.

Tommy, how are you going to get all the
disc jockeys to listen to you? Are you

kidding? With my powers of persuasion,
I'll have them begging to hear it.

I'm telling you for the last time.

Take your crummy records off my desk and
get out of here.

Oh, Mr.

Secure, let me help.

Oh, my goodness gracious.

It's okay.

Are you sure I can't help? No, no, no.

Well, now what are we going to do?

The station was our last post.

I don't know.

I just don't know.

Honey, I'm afraid I'm tied up in a
meeting and we'll have to have lunch

tomorrow. But you promised.

I know I did, but you wouldn't want the
chairman of the board to walk out on his

own meeting, would you?

Right, Daddy.

Daddy?

Chairman of the board?

I still don't understand why you guys
picked me.

Because you've got charm. Because you've
got a way with women.

Besides, you're the only one that
doesn't have a steady girlfriend.

Let's make the call.

I told you he'd stand you up for lunch.
Now, didn't I tell you?

Board meeting.

I'll bet he had a board meeting.

Oh, Ma.

Now, don't you oh -ma me.

That's why I divorced the jerk.

I walked in on one of those board
meetings once.

The only person he was meeting was the
secretary, and he wasn't giving

either.

Yes, just a minute.

Henrietta, it's for you.

It's a man.

Oh, well, he's just probably trying to
tell something.

I'll be home late.

I hope.

Hello? Hi.

Hi, I'm Tommy Bradford. We sort of met
at the radio station today.

I'm the one with the records, remember?

You do it. No, no, no. I was just
wondering if you'd like to go out.

Out? Yeah, you know, dinner.

Dinner?

Me?

Sure, why not?

Oh, my.

Hello?

Henrietta? Hello?

Hello, yes, I'm here.

Well, what do you say? How about it?

Oh, yeah, sure.

No, I'd love to.

Then I'll pick you up about 7 .30.

Tonight? Well, I don't think I could
hold out any longer.

Gosh. Oh, wait, my cousin.

What about your cousin?

Well, she's visiting from Illinois, and
I promised I'd take her somewhere

tonight.

Oh. Oh, I mean, I don't want to really
go. I hate athletic events. I just

promised. Can't you find her a date?

I don't know anyone young enough.

How old is she?

Fifteen.

Fifteen, huh?

Henrietta, you know something? I think
I've got the perfect solution.

Hey, if she's gross, the price doubles.

Jeremy, we made a deal. I bought you for
the night.

Yeah, I went too cheap.

I feel like a tramp.

Don't worry.

I'll still respect you in the morning.

Are you okay?

Oh, my goodness gracious, yes, of
course.

Okay, let's go. We're late.

Don't worry about them. They'll
introduce themselves.

Uh, Jeremy.

Oh, well, we better get going, or we'll
be late for the wrestling matches.

The what?

Wrestling matches.

I just love athletics, and wrestling is
so physical.

Don't you like wrestling?

Oh, hey, wrestling. I love wrestling. I
used to do it all the time until my

track coach made me stop. Didn't want to
risk an injury.

I'm a runner, too.

Probably not in your class, though.

I've got an idea.

Let's jog to the wrestling matches.

Jog? It'll be fun.

And you can tell me all about yourself
on the way there.

Where are the matches, anyway?

Not far.

Only five miles.

Only five miles.

Madame.

Monsieur.

Bon appétit.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Even the menus.

Look how pretty.

Oh, my goodness gracious.

It's okay. Just a little water.

Oh, I can't believe I'm so clumsy
sometimes.

Glass just shouldn't have been so close
to the edge.

Neither should the silverware.

Why do I do these things?

It's okay, Henry. Really, the busboy
will... What are you doing? I can almost

reach it.

Henrietta, they have lots of forks,
really. The bus foil.

Henrietta! I think I've got it.

Really, Henrietta.

I found it!

Is Mother all right?

Of course Madame is all right. Can't you
see that Madame is all right? Doesn't

she look all right to you?

Yes, she does.

You're Tommy Bradford.

That's right.

Hey, I saw your group last week at BJ's.

You guys are great.

Thanks. We better look at a menu. I hear
they... Hey, I hate to bug you, but

could I have your autograph?

All right.

Hey, David, it's Jeremy.

Look, for my last chance, no one else is
home. You're the only one left who can

prevent my premature death. Look, I
can't run another five miles.

Yeah, yeah.

Tommy, I'm glad I found you.

What's wrong?

Another refusal.

They won't even listen to our record.

It'll get better.

No, it's over.

I can't take this anymore.

There, there, it's okay.

No, it's not okay. I mean, we're never
going to make it.

We're good, right?

The best.

Then we can't give up.

We've got to keep trying. We've got to
keep pushing. We're bound to hit.

We've got to.

If I'm not out in five minutes, don't
come in and get me. Okay.

Boy, what a coincidence. David is the
last person I thought I'd run into at a

wrestling match.

I forgot my key.

Ingrid, you're home so early.

And this must be Jeremy.

Uh -huh.

Oh, and who's that?

Tommy's brother. He gave us the lift.

Older brother?

Yeah.

must have been freezing out there.

Well, it wasn't bad. A drink will fix
you up. Oh, I don't know. I have to...

You're shy.

How quaint.

Tell me, do you like art?

Well... Good. There's an art show
tomorrow you're going to just love.

Did you have a good time tonight?

My goodness gracious, yes.

Me too.

Tommy, I've been thinking about your
band.

Oh, let's not talk about that. Tonight
is for us.

I know, but Tommy, this is going to come
as a shock.

But my father owns K -Lox Radio.

So? If I talked to him, I know he'd
listen to your record.

Oh, I couldn't do that, Henrietta. It
wouldn't be right.

But you obviously deserve to be heard.

Oh, Henrietta.

Let me do this.

I really want to.

Sit down.

Sit down.

I must say I was surprised when my
secretary gave me the message.

Pleasantly surprised.

Oh, he had a terrible phone connection.
I was afraid she might not have gotten

it straight. Well, I'm here, aren't I?
Then you'll listen to the band's music?

Of course I'll listen.

Thanks, Mr. Hall. I really appreciate
it.

I'm just happy to get her away from that
overgrown violin and into something

more contemporary, more vital, more
normal.

Sir? I mean, when my secretary gave me
the news, I rushed right over. I can't

wait to help.

Well, exactly what message did your
secretary give you?

Well, about Henrietta singing with a
band, of course.

Henrietta in our band?

That's a good one, Bradford.

Yeah, I think Henrietta found it a
little hard to believe herself.

Well, what did he say when you told him
the truth?

I didn't. Oh, you mean she did?

Well, she started to, but I stopped her
in time.

I told Mr. Hall we'd be thrilled to have
her in our band.

You know, it really is true what they
say about mental illness striking at any

age. Hey, look, we've got no choice.

This guy isn't going to help us unless
his daughter is in our band.

His daughter isn't a recognized life
form known to this planet, Bradford.

Don't worry.

I've got everything figured out.

Look, we'll make her a background vocal,
and we'll give her a do -wah every once

in a while and just keep her mic down
real low.

But where are we going to put her?

She looks like a poster child for the
stupid.

I don't know, in a dark part of the
stage, behind a speaker if we have to.

I don't know.

Look, do you want to spend the rest of
your life in a garage?

Hi, is Jeremy here?

Upstairs, David. Oh, thanks.

Oh, you know, Abby, the kids are such a
nice age now. They're so mature.

I know.

It's so nice that the girls grew out of
those crazy Februaries. Some of those

guys were such morons.

I never had that kind of a problem with
the boys, though.

I never had to worry about the girls
that they dated.

Oh, my goodness gracious.

Hello, I'm looking for David Bradford.
Is Jeremy here?

Hi, Dad. Hi,

Dad. Hi, Mr. Bradford.

Done again.

It's three o 'clock.

Where are they?

Tommy's van probably just broke down
again.

I don't think so.

Henrietta's picking them up, and it's on
her way.

Well, they're late.

Will you just calm down? I'm sure
they'll be here any second.

See?

You're worried for nothing.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

I'm so nervous.

Oh, no, no, nonsense. It's a great idea.
I just wish I'd have thought of it

instead of your father.

A female in the band adds a whole new
dimension. It's perfect.

If you say so.

Maybe I better just back this up. No,
no, no, no, no, no, no. Just leave it

right here. We often practice with cars
in the garage.

Oh.

Don't you just love its use of light?

Yes, sort of early Renoir. Quite right.

Have I told you how cute you are?

I just love your hair.

Actually, a very... Full -bodied work,
isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Mrs. Hall.

You know, my friends call me Flo. I wish
you would, too.

Do you like this painting?

It's a new young artist I just
discovered.

Oh, yes. It's a wonderful naive quality.
A kind of innocence or

shyness.

I find that very refreshing.

Quite.

But you could still learn from some
experience.

Hold it, guys.

Hold it. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Whoa.

Henrietta.

I came in too early, Brad.

No, you came in too late. Last time you
came in too early. The time before that,

you came in too late. And the time
before that, you came in too early.

There seems to be a little pattern
forming here. Have you noticed?

I'm so nervous.

Well, look, I have an idea.

Since you came in late this time, why
don't you try coming in late next time?

Since you're scheduled to come in early,
maybe you'll just even things out and

come in right on time.

Or you can try counting the measures.

Look,

I think you're very attractive, but it's
not worth frostbite.

Hey, I think I just saw a moray eel in
the deep end.

Look, I'm leaving, okay? This is your
last chance.

All right, you blew it. That's it.

Jeremy. Forget it.

Ingrid, you see... I only have a few
more laps to go, and it's so lonely in

pool all by myself.

Yeah, well, I guess a few more laps
won't hurt.

I tell you, this chick's a walking
demolition derby. She has more accidents

the Indy 500.

Tommy, she can't be that bad.

Believe me, no furniture is safe in her
presence.

Mere physical contact with her invites
the possibilities of internal injury.

You're exaggerating.

I am not exaggerating.

And I haven't even started on her
appearance yet.

What does she look like?

How do you describe someone that needs
to be vacuumed after each meal?

Tommy, I don't see... She forgets to
remove the prize tags from her clothes.

She wears her hair like Little Bo Peep.
Her favorite expression is, oh, my

goodness gracious.

And last but not least, she plays the
cello.

The cello?

Well, now I see.

The band's finished. We haven't got a
chance.

I have an idea. Why don't you let us
try?

Try what?

Well, why don't you let us see what we
can do with her? Maybe we could fix her

up a little, huh?

You haven't got a prayer.

Come on, Tommy, it's a good idea. Why
don't you give us a chance?

What have you got to lose?

I'm a man on the wing and it's time to
go.

And I'll always be by your side.

And there's two under the stars tonight.

Two are under the blue.

Two are singing a song tonight.

I can count on...

He's a lover and a real sport too.

He can charm anything at a glance.

She's a baby with the dolly blue eyes
and she really

doesn't know what to do.

You are under the stars tonight.

You are under the blue.

the song tonight.

I can count on you.

Why, George, I think she's got it.

You are under the blue.

You are singing the song tonight.

What did you think, Daddy?

Marvelous.

Just marvelous.

Thanks, Mr. Hall.

I can't get over the change, Henrietta.
I mean, look at you.

Well, what do you think of music?

Well, yeah, it's fine stuff.

You know, I always told you to get rid
of that overgrown violin and get into

something more... practical, more
normal, but I never thought I'd see the

you actually did it. It's just
marvelous.

Well, then you'll help the band?

Help?

Of course I'll help.

I'll start today. I'll make some calls.
I'll call radio stations, record

companies, anything I can do. Thanks,
Mr. Hall.

Thanks, Daddy.

Why don't we go out and we celebrate,
just you and me, kid?

Sure. Why don't you pick a good
restaurant and have my secretary make

reservations?

Right, Daddy.

Mr. Hall, I can't tell you how much I
appreciate this.

A couple of things we ought to talk
about, Bobby.

Uh, Tommy. Uh, the track's a little
muddy. I'd like to remix it here with

equipment. Ah, sure. No problem.

Then there's the matter about Henrietta.

Sir?

She'll be the lead singer.

lead singer?

Do you know what the lead singer does?

Sings. Tommy, we don't have any other
choice.

Remember, garages for the rest of your
life.

Oh, this is different.

Yeah, I know. She's taking your job.

Oh, come on. You can't be serious.

Henrietta as a backup vocalist is one
thing. This is our sound we're messing

with now.

Look, we'll just play real loud. Our
sound will practically drown her out.

Forget it. She's not good enough and you
know it.

Yeah. And what about Mr. Hall?

She said... I know what he said.

We'll just have to get along without
him.

And Henrietta?

I'll go tell her she's out of the band.

Certainly isn't fun being hugged and
pinched all the time.

I wish Ingrid had that problem. The only
part of me she's interested in is my

backhand. The woman is a sex fiend.

It's not that I don't like being an
athlete. It just takes so much time. I

I could be doing something that's fun.

I guess I go out with her because she's
interesting.

But she's so darned aggressive.

I'd call the whole thing off if she
wasn't so gorgeous.

I mean, she drives me crazy.

Yet she is attractive.

What a body and that face.

Educated, sophisticated.

Worried I was losing weight. Said she'd
take me weightlifting.

She is showing me a world I've never
really seen before.

Hey, David.

Yeah? Yeah, we'd better hurry. We're
going to be late. Yeah, right.

Hi. Hi. Is Henrietta at home? Yeah, go
right in.

See you. See you.

I still believe in you.

But I know.

aside There's a cloud with a silver
lining coming over the horizon

So hang in there a little bit longer

You're gonna make it I

know you will Don't have to climb the
mountain Just

make it

I believe you

You know, you've got a good voice.

I'm so embarrassed.

Why did you keep it a secret for so
long?

I guess I was just a little nervous.

Nervous?

Come on. Where are we going?

Rehearsal.

Henrietta?

I'm going to rehearsal, Mom.

For Pete's sake, button up that blouse.

Sure, Mom.

Kids today.

I don't know, David.

The way they flaunt themselves.

I just don't understand it.

Is it warm in here to you?

Not really.

Well, I'm burning up.

Scotch?

Oh, fine.

But don't you think you should be
getting ready? The ballet starts in half

hour. Oh.

Didn't I tell you?

I was mistaken. The ballet isn't until
next week.

I see.

Well, then, what are we going to do
tonight?

I'm sure we can come up with something.

All right.

Shall we drink, too?

World peace?

Custom -made?

Yes, it is.

Oh, yeah, you can always tell, you know?

Mm -hmm.

It's all solid wood, you know. You don't
say.

David.

Yeah?

Don't you think it's time?

Time?

Time!

Oh, yeah, you're right. I've got to get
going.

Going?

Early day tomorrow. Very early.

Tomorrow's Sunday.

Church.

Oh, well.

The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away.

Don't tell me I'll never be able to do
this.

Just relax like you were at the piano,
okay?

What are you doing?

Now just pretend you're at home in front
of the piano, okay?

He's a lover and a real fortune.

He can tell anything at a glance.

She's a baby with Sally blue eyes and
she really doesn't

know what to do.

Two are under the stars tonight.

Two are under the balloons.

See,

in this type of bodybuilding,

Each machine is designed to work on a
particular muscle group. How long you

to stay in each machine?

Until you've completed 12 repetitions.

Oh, only 12. That's not bad.

Or until the muscle failure occurs.

Whichever comes first.

Muscle failure?

Don't worry. The instructor takes you
through the first time. They're special.

They know what they're doing.

Oh, good work on Mr.

Brad. See you next week.

You know what I think?

What? I think you're going to be a star.

Tommy, you think my father will like it?

I mean me, this way.

Your father knows talent.

He'll like it.

I don't know.

It's kind of hard to please.

He's never really been happy with me,
you know.

never quite lived up to.

I don't think I've ever been hip enough
for him.

Henrietta, you're different now.

I know.

Maybe now he'll accept me.

Love me.

Believe me, no father could help but be
proud of you.

David, I don't think God wanted me to
have muscles.

Oh, that hurt.

What'd you do?

Raise my eyebrow.

David? Yeah?

I can't do it anymore. I miss being
unhealthy.

I'm gonna have to stop seeing her.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to stop seeing Mrs.
Hall, too.

How are you gonna tell her?

I don't know. You?

I don't know, but I do know one thing.

I think I know the same thing.

I can't take anymore!

Henrietta, darling.

Hi, Daddy.

Hungry? A little.

Did you lose a little weight?

A little more wouldn't hurt either.

Yeah, well.

You like the dress?

Glad you reminded me. We need to talk
about your wardrobe. All new, of course.

That'll do for now. It's cute.

Thanks.

I've got big plans for you, sweetheart.

You'll continue the piano lessons.
That's important.

Burn the cello.

And I think you ought to take up guitar.

Daddy, I...

Listen, we'll talk about it over lunch,
okay?

She's in love and she can't believe it,
so let me lean on your shoulder tonight.

I'm a man on the wing and it's time to
go.

Well, it's about time you showed up. The
rehearsal started an hour ago.

Sorry.

I had cello practice.

Jello practice?

Henrietta, if you're going to be in a
band, the first thing you have to learn

that the band comes first.

I didn't come over for rehearsal.

What are you talking about?

I came over to tell you I'm quitting the
band.

Aren't you going to school today?

Can't. Well, why not?

Well, it's simple, really. I'm just
paralyzed from the neck down.

Oh, forget it. I tried that one once.

The teachers don't buy it unless you
have a note from a doctor.

Listen, I'm serious. I can't even move
my arm.

But you know what's a good one?

Mono. You don't have to have a fever or
nothing. Just act real tired and tell

Abby you kissed a girl last night.

Hi.

What's all the moaning about?

You better see for yourself. It doesn't
look good, does it?

What's wrong with you?

Nothing that you use of physical therapy
won't cure. What are you talking about?

I'm talking about muscle failure, Abby.
You go to this place and pay for it. A

big man with chromosome damage straps
you to this machine and tells you to

yourself. Will you come on? A few sore
muscles never killed anybody.

Look, Abby, you don't understand.

We're talking faith healer time. I may
never walk again.

Jeremy. Wait, that's it.

That's what?

The Ingrid solution.

Ow!

Hi.

I won't change my mind if they're here
for it.

Look, I really want you in the band, but
I'm not going to try and con you into

coming back.

I just want to know why.

I have my reasons.

Oh, great.

That clears it all up.

Look, I'm sorry I screwed everything up.

The band will be fine.

But what about you? What about me?

You've come so far.

Tell me just exactly how far have I
come?

Oh, come on. You know what I mean.

Oh, I know what you mean.

I know exactly what you mean.

But what exactly was wrong with where I
was?

Nothing. It's just... You're just
exactly like my father.

I was never good enough for him before
either.

Well, your band was my chance to be more
of what he wanted me to be.

More his kind of girl.

But then I realized I don't want to be
his kind of girl anymore.

And I don't want to be in your band
either.

Henrietta. I guess I answered your
question.

Yeah, I think you did.

Well, uh...

You know the way to the door.

I wonder what this is all about.

I have no idea.

Sounds so mysterious.

Go in the study.

Why? Jeremy. What happened?

What's going on? Who's sick? It's real
complicated, Mr. Baxter. But wait.

Dad, where are the girls? In the study.
Where are the bags?

No time to explain.

Huh?

You look troubled.

Oh, it's okay. I have a good excuse.

Tom, what is this wheelchair and these
two bags doing? It's very complicated,

but there's no time to explain.

But I need their help right now.

Tough. I came up with my plan first.
What do you even need a plan for? You

Ingrid. Because I don't want to be dead
before my next birthday.

Jeremy, be reasonable. I told Mrs. Hall
that I was moving back here for a few

days. She could drop over any second.
I've got to get rid of her. Yeah, well,

then just tell her to take a hike then.
I did. It excites her even more. Now,

what are you... If you two would just
stop arguing for a minute and tell us

your little plans are, maybe we can
think of something to kill two girls

one stone.

Forget it. We're not going to use her
again. We'll get by.

Well, we better start practicing.

Hi, fella.

Where's Henrietta?

Henrietta isn't here.

Well, is she on her way? I wanted to
tell her about the agent.

She quit the band.

Quit? How could you let her quit?

I didn't have much to do with it. I bet
you didn't.

Hey, I don't know what you mean.

Her quitting the group right before
you're about to get your big break is

convenient, isn't it? Oh, come on. You
can blame this on me, Mr. Hall, if you

want to, but if you cared... I cared.

Don't pretend you gave a darn about
Henrietta.

You used her, and I went along with it
for her.

If you think I'm interested in your
overwritten music, you're sadly

Okay, it's all set. They should be here
any second. Yeah, well, didn't anybody

take care of Mr. Bradford? He said he
was playing golf.

In the living room?

Uh -oh.

I got it. No!

We'll get it.

Just talk it out, okay?

What's going on?

Ingrid! Oh, you're just like Jeremy.
Come on in.

Give me a call next week, George. I
should know something about that.

Thanks, Irv.

Mr. Hall? What are you doing here? Just
give me a minute.

Look, son, I'm very busy.

Please hear me out.

You were right what you said.

We used Henrietta to get to you. If you
think a gratuitous apology is going to

get you anywhere with me, you're sadly
mistaken, young man.

I don't want your help, Mr. Hall.

That's not why I'm here.

It's about Henrietta.

Your daughter doesn't think you love
her.

That's ridiculous.

Is it?

Why do you think she joined the band in
the first place?

I don't know. Because she liked it, I
guess.

Because she thought you'd like it.

Henrietta knows I would do anything in
the world for her.

Would you really, Mr. Hall?

Would you become someone you didn't want
to be just to please her?

Because that's what she did for you.

That's how much she loves you.

How much do you love her?

It's so nice to finally meet you.

Oh, yes. David is very secretive about
the girls that... Well, I mean the women

that he goes out with. Especially the
ones that he likes.

Really, Elizabeth, Flo is not one of the
girls.

Oh, I know, I know. That's very true.

He really thinks you're something
special.

He does?

Oh, yes.

And do you know what I think?

I think he's in love with you.

Jeremy must really like you a lot to put
himself through all that. The

athletics, I mean. Oh, I really think he
enjoys it, too.

Well, that's what he'd like you to
believe.

It's just amazing what sheer willpower
can do sometimes.

I know. Can you imagine the pain he must
be going through? Oh, it must be

incredible. Pain?

What pain?

Oh, uh, Jeremy'd kill us if we told you.

Told me what?

About the accident.

I think we'll be leaving.

I'm kind of hungry, aren't you? Yeah, me
too.

Phil, excuse us.

Flo.

David, don't you think we should be
leaving?

Oh, didn't I tell you?

The concert's not until next week.

God, I want you.

David.

What about your family?

Oh, it's okay. They know how I feel
about you.

They'll stay out.

Oh. Oh, no.

But I don't feel right.

Not here.

Okay. We'll go to my apartment.

You might as well see it before I move
into your house.

My house?

I figure we should just live together.

Live together?

Why bother with the paperwork?

Oh, I promise I will make you very, very
happy.

What

in the world

was he doing in a bullring?

Well, see, he was on vacation in Mexico.

And he came down with Mono and...

In his delirium, he mistook the bull
ring for the parking lot. Oh, no.

Yeah, the doctor said he didn't even
know what happened to him till he told

that the bull broke every bone in his
body.

He just thought the car was running
rough. Here, you want to see?

A

wheelchair?

Well, that's only for around the house.

Jeremy's much too proud to use it in
public.

Oh, poor Jeremy.

David, it's for the best.

Hello. Believe me, when you get a little
older, you'll understand.

But I can't imagine not having him.

Troth.

Hey, well, you ready? What do you say we
break our whole record and go for ten

miles? I was thinking, Jeremy, I'm not
really in the running mood today.

You're not?

No. What I'd really like to do is to
curl up by a cozy fire and get to know

other a little better.

Well, if that's what you really want.

Bye now.

Bye.

Bye -bye.

Oh,

yes, it was nice talking to you again.
Right.

Who was that, Dad?

Oh, that was the wrong number. Would
somebody tell me what all this is all

about? Later, Dad. It's very
complicated, and right now there's no

explain. I've got a class. I have a hair
appointment. I've got to go to work.

Rehearsal.

right? I'm not sure. Abby, what month is
this? March.

For some reason, it still seems like
February to me.

It's okay.

I wish you'd think about rejoining us.
We don't even want your father's help

anymore. We do want you.

Thanks. I appreciate your offer.

I'm just so confused.

Well, look, look, don't decide here.

Think about it. Take your time.

We'll still be here.

Well, the band was the only thing I ever
really felt a part of.

Did I interrupt anything?

What do you want?

Well, I thought you might need
something.

Like a ride to your cello lesson.

I picked up your cello at the house.

Got it in the car.

You picked up my cello?

Well, do you want it?

The ride?

Sure.

Well, do you feel better now that you've
gotten everything straightened out?

Yeah, I guess. Okay, Nicholas, get to
bed.

Well, you know, it could be worse, Tom.

I mean, the kids did get a little
carried away, but at least it's pretty

harmless stuff.

I know. I just wish they'd be a little
less inventive when they do.

Nicholas! Just a second, Dad.

See, if you ask me, it's because they
watch entirely too much television.

Come on, Tom.

I'm telling you, you don't realize the
impact that that thing has.

Night, Dad.

Good night, Nicholas.

Night, Abby. Night, Nicholas.

Night, Mary.

Good night, Jenny.

Night, Elizabeth.

Night, Nancy.

Good night, Tommy.

See what I mean?

Good night, Tommy.
