Hey, Kev.

Hey, Dad.

What are you doing?

I'm just picking up the Hamlins and
Heather's dress.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah, Dad, will you do me a favor and
check my muffins?

Sure, killer.

Yeah, just stick a toothpick in one of
them, and if it comes out clean, that

means they're done.

Look, we never had that little man -to
-man talk, did we, Kev?

Now, Dad, I'm doing this for school. I'm
taking home X.

You are?

Look, Dad, it's an easy A.

Besides, it was either this or wood
shop.

And I need all my fingers for college.

Hey, Mom, I'm somebody famous. Tell me
who I am.

Raymond Burr.

No, I'm William Howard Taft.

For our President's Day pageant at
school, remember?

Oh, right. Gosh, you look wonderful,
honey.

No, I don't.

Nobody knows who I am. And even when I
tell them, they don't know.

Well, President Taft.

Don't mind if I'm cool.

You see, honey, Mr. Belvedere knows who
you are.

He doesn't count. Mr. Belvedere knows
everything.

That's true.

What's the matter, Jim?

Wesley's a little upset about his
presidency pageant at school.

I got there late, and the only president
left was Taft and Nixon.

And Howie Huffnagle got to be Nixon
because he sweats a lot.

Honey, we're very proud of you, no
matter which president you are.

Cheer up, pal.

You'll make George Washington next year.

I still might get to play Lincoln.

Oh, yeah?

You know my friend Danny O 'Neill, the
one you all like so much because he

does anything wrong?

Well, he was supposed to play Lincoln,
but his parents had to come and take him

home. Why?

He got caught with this stuff called
AIDS.

AIDS?

Oh, my God.

Boy, he must really be in trouble.

on the china never matters before who
cares when you cop kick your jacket

as you came through the door no one's
there but sometimes things get turned

around and no one's fed all hands look
out below

there's a change in the status gonna
need all the help that we

can get

According to our new arrival, life is
more than mere survival.

We just might live the good life yet.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, I understand.

Okay, thank you very much. Goodbye.

So what'd the school say?

Danny's got AIDS.

It seems he told some kids on the
playground and they got scared and told

other kids and Danny's parents were
called and I guess they decided the best

thing would be to keep him home until
the doctors can evaluate his case.

Well, what's he doing with AIDS? I mean,
he's just a kid. George, I believe the

boy is a hemophiliac.

So?

Apparently, he got some infected blood a
couple of years ago.

Well, doesn't anybody test that stuff?

They do now.

What about Wesley?

He thinks that getting AIDS is like
being caught with chewing gum.

What are we going to tell him?

I say make something up.

Hi, guys.

I'm going to go upstairs and do my
homework now.

See ya. Uh, hold it, Wes.

Uh, there's something your mom and I
would like to talk to you about.

Are you serious?

I'm afraid so, honey.

Really? Serious?

Yeah, pal.

to play doctor? It was only a single's
idea.

What are you talking about?

Nothing. What are you talking about?

About your friend Danny.

Listen, Wes, this AIDS thing you told us
about, do you know what that is?

Sure. I mean, it's real bad and you get
in real bad trouble if you get caught

with it.

Sort of like shoplifting.

That's pretty close.

Uh, Wes, AIDS is a disease.

And your friend is pretty sick.

Oh. So when's it gonna get better?

Nobody knows, champ.

Why not?

Well, because the doctors haven't quite
figured it all out yet.

Do you understand?

You're saying you might be sick for a
whole week?

Maybe two.

Boy, no school, lucky duck.

gonna play friendly lincoln now yeah if
you give me a bite of your cupcake i'll

free you i'm playing jimmy cotter so ha
the

only reason you're getting to play
lincoln is because daddy got thrown out

i know anyway i'm going over to daddy's
house later you guys want to come

what's the matter are you crazy

do you want to die too

stuff is the worst thing you could get.
I mean, you just get sicker and sicker.

And then your arms and legs start
falling off. And then it's all over. And

you're dead.

I am making all that up, Danny. I am
not. My mom told me, and she's a

beautician. And my dad said, stay away
from Danny, because you can get your

easy. You can?

Oh, yeah.

You can get it by just touching
somebody.

Or drinking out of the same glass.

A sixth grader told me you can get it
just by talking on the phone.

He was just saying that because you're
Danny's friend.

Yeah, you were his best friend. You guys
did everything together.

So?

Then you can have the rest of my
cupcakes.

See ya.

Kevin, what are you doing?

I'm trying to make a swan out of ground
beef.

Is that anything like trying to make a
silk purse out of a sow's ear?

No, I'm using beef.

Anyway, I've got a big dinner tonight
and everyone's supposed to give me a

grade.

So, what's on the menu?

Oh, we've got meatloaf and pea, mashed
potatoes, tapioca pudding for dessert.

Is this your salute to airline food?

Kevin, look at me.

Hey, you look great.

What happened to your skirt?

You hemmed it like this.

been upstairs taking a bath for over an
hour.

Did he, uh, say anything more about his
friend Danny or about, you know, what he

has? You mean AIDS, Mom?

Thank you.

He hasn't said anything to me, but then
I've been tied up.

Good evening, Mrs. Owens. Ah, Mr.
Belvedere. Will dinner be ready soon?

Personally, I think it was ready 20
minutes ago, but I'm not making it.

But meatloaf.

Everyone, you remember Wesley's friend,
Danny.

Oh, hi, Danny.

Hi, Mrs. Owens, Mr. Owens. Hiya, Chip.
How's it going?

Well, I got to eat, but other than that,
I'm doing pretty good.

Wesley, your friend Danny's here.

Yeah, I see.

Hi. Hi.

I thought you were coming over today.

Something happened.

Oh, so was school.

Okay, we had to substitute.

They're getting me a tutor. At least
until everybody figures out what to do

me.

Neat.

Don't they let you downstairs?

Mostly.

Anyway, this is for you.

What is it? My Lincoln costume.

You're playing him now, right?

Yeah, right.

See, it's got the coat and the big hat
and the beard and everything.

I don't want it.

It's okay. My mom washed it.

Just stay away from me. Hey, Wes.

Leave me alone.

Sorry.

I think we all handled that rather well.

What's the matter with that kid?

George, it's our fault.

Why? What did we do?

Nothing. I mean, Wesley had questions
about Danny, and we just let him think

everything was going to be okay.

Now, I don't know what he's heard or
where he's heard it, but obviously he's

scared to death.

Well, we just got to talk to him and
straighten everything out.

Is he gone?

Yeah, Wes, he went home.

He didn't touch anything, did he?

I don't believe so.

Good.

That wasn't very nice, the way you
treated Danny just now.

So?

So I thought you guys were buddies.

We were, but I don't want to catch what
he's got.

You're not going to.

That's not what my friends told me at
school.

I heard you can get it just by playing
tag or swinging on the same swings.

Come on, Wes, you're talking dumb.

I mean, you don't catch that stuff from
just fooling around.

What I think your father's trying to say
is you don't catch AIDS by simply being

around someone who has it.

It requires a more intimate association.

You mean like dancing?

Honey, what I think Mr. Belvedere is
trying to say is... What I think

everybody is trying to say is the way
you get AIDS is through sexual contact

using infected needles.

Or get a contaminated blood product,
which is how your friend Danny got it.

understand?

I think so.

Well, if you didn't know anything else,
I'll be upstairs.

You see, Champ, being around Danny is
not going to make you sick.

So how come all the other kids' parents
are acting so scared?

Well, sometimes grown -ups don't have
all the facts.

And they love their kids.

nervous oh yeah i mean they worry
because they know how kids are you know

rough housing and getting little
scratches and scrapes hearing the same

cream bar you know what i mean yeah me
and danny did all that stuff you did

that's okay isn't it of course it is

yeah sure it is pal now Why don't you
run on upstairs and get that homework,

huh? Okay.

Thanks for explaining everything to me.
I think I feel better now.

I wish we did.

I don't believe this.

Problem, George?

There's not one thing on AIDS in this
whole stupid encyclopedia.

George, this edition was printed in
1957.

Yeah, well, we should have planned
ahead.

Look, we discussed all this and we
agreed. Wesley's perfectly fine. There's

nothing to be concerned about.

Hi, I'm back from the library.

Did you find anything out?

Yeah, I got a couple of real good things
from the Department of Health. Look, it

says right here that not one identified
case of AIDS infection is known to have

been transmitted in a school or daycare
setting or through other casual person

-to -person contact.

And here it says, of the 229 cases of
pediatric AIDS, there's not

one instance of a child infecting his
parents or siblings.

And that's a family living together.

See? And you two were so worried.

Come on, Belvedere, you were just as
worried as we were. That's ridiculous.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Just a moment.

Uh, Mr. Belvedere? Yeah. It's the Center
for Disease Control in Atlanta.

They're returning your call.

Tell them it's all right.

I'm over my cold.

Getting rid of the evidence?

You work your fingers to the bone. You
try to make a decent meal for your

family. They don't appreciate it.

Kevin, that wasn't bad dinner.

Just that we were all a bit...

preoccupied with Wesley and his friend.

Yeah, I know.

Just, I take this dumb home ec class for
the EZA.

Turns out it's just one more thing for
me to screw up. You'll do better.

What do you think I should do with a
meatloaf?

Go deep.

Is it the gift, or do I have to keep
quiet about something?

No, see, there's a picture of Lincoln on
it.

I, uh, figured it might help you for
when you're making my costume.

Oh.

What's the matter with Danny's costume?

I just don't want it.

Now, Wesley, you've talked to your
parents. You know there's nothing to be

afraid of, right?

Yeah, I know that.

Then what's the problem?

Wesley, you must live what other people
think or think. I don't care what you

say or do. I'm never going to see him
again.

All right, Wesley.

Up to you.

Anyway, I guess that means you're not
going to make my costume, huh?

No, no.

I'll take care of it.

Thanks, Mr. Belvedere.

Sharp.

You let him make my costume?

It seemed a thing to do.

Mr. Belvedere, it's terrible.

Now, Wesley, let's not be hasty.

As far as I'm concerned, you can't tell
a thing without the hat.

There.

Perfect.

Lincoln would never wear a hat like
this.

He would in Tijuana.

There must be one someplace.

Hi. Hi.

Came around back like you said.

I don't think anybody saw me.

It's not my fault either.

Anyway, you better get ready for your
pageant.

Dave and Lincoln.

Hey, wait.

Yeah?

Want to come?

Huh? Come where?

You know, to the pageant. I'm not
allowed.

We're sneaking.

Just like that time at the movies when
we snuck out of Bambi and saw Porky's.

Yeah!

Lincoln Pierce, the 14th president of
the United States.

I served from 1853 to 1857.

Among my significant achievements was
opening diplomatic relations and trade

with Japan.

There must be some steel workers in the
crowd.

Did we miss anything?

Just the first 14 presidents.

Oh, good.

I'm James Buchanan. I was the 15th
president of the United States.

I was the first president to receive a
telegraphic message by underwater cable.

I never married.

But I'm sure I dated.

Wesley's next. I know that.

Hello, I'm Abraham Lincoln, the 16th
president of the United States.

In 1863, I signed the Emancipation
Proclamation because I believed in

and dignity for all men.

And that's why I wrote this speech.

Four score and seven years ago, our
fathers brought forth on this continent

new nation.

Wait a minute. I can't do this.

This is Danny O 'Neill, and he was
supposed to play Lincoln, but he

because he's got AIDS.

Have anything to do with this?

I'd like to think so.

Anyway, now Danny's going to do the
Gettysburg Address and everybody's going

listen.

Go ahead, Danny.

What's the matter? I don't know the
Gettysburg Address.

But I remember something else Abraham
Lincoln said before he was president.

And I guess I remember it real good.

Because sometimes I kind of feel the
same way.

If the good people, in their wisdom,
shall see fit to keep me in the

I have been too familiar with
disappointments to be very much

Thank you.

I just want to sit here for a minute.

Oh, okay. I'll sit with you.

It kind of feels like we're out fishing.

Yeah.

You know, we can really go if you like.
I can get my dad to take us.

I've never been fishing.

You haven't?

Hey, I got an idea.

We can make a list of all the stuff
you've never done.

Leslie I don't know if I'll have time to
do it all what do you mean

Leslie Danny

everyone's waiting in the car oh okay

on the cannon, and you'll be the North,
and I'll be the South.

Sure you won't be afraid to do all that
stuff with me.

What should I be?

You're my friend.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr.
Belvedere.

It was worth it.

I'm just back from Gettysburg.

Danny and Wesley had a wonderful day.

Then insisted we swing by Funland in
Harrisburg.

After all, it's only 70 miles in the
wrong direction.

But it was worth it.

Because we all got to break the world
record for most consecutive turns on the

tilter whirl.

According to Wesley and Danny, they now
only have 2 ,763 more things to do.

I suppose at this point, I should write
something profound about life and death.

You know something?

I'm really not in the mood.
