Come on, honey. There's nothing to be
afraid of.

Besides, you wouldn't be going to the
dentist if you brushed when you were

supposed to and you didn't rot your
mouth with all those sweets.

Oh, look, this is ridiculous. I want you
out of that bathroom right this minute.

Shall I call the SWAT team?

I don't know what else to do.

Let me try.

Look, if you go to the dentist like a
good soldier... When you come home, Mr.

Belvedere will make your favorite triple
scoop chocolate crunch sundae.

With

extra

sprinkles?

Of course.

He's clean today, and I want to get my
money's worth.

Morning. Morning.

I'm all ready to go to the dentist, Dad.

No rush, pal.

But if you don't get there early, they
give you the old drill.

That's it. I'm not going.

Oh, come on, Dad. You gotta.

You see, even Wesley realizes that a
trip to the dentist may be unpleasant,

necessary.

No, I like going.

You do?

Yeah.

It hurts a whole lot, but it sure feels
good when it's over.

Sort of like spending the day with you.

Is everything all right?

I still can't find a roommate to split
the rent with and have a lot of other

bills and stuff. I'm just having a
little trouble making ends meet.

Oh, well, you know, your father and I
can always help out.

No, that's too much money to get from
you guys.

I was going to ask Wes.

Anyway, I don't want to start borrowing,
so I just decided I'm going to sell my

Barracuda. Oh, you love that car.

Yeah, but it's okay. I mean, I'm right
across from campus, so I'll be fine.

Well, if there's anything else we can
do, you just ask.

Well, you could let me borrow your
Porsche.

That's right, dear. Keep your sense of
humor.

for one of the red lights.

It's not bad.

Yeah, well, it would have done better if
it weren't for all the screaming.

Hi, Miss Belvedere.

Aren't you coming in?

First, put the car keys on the counter.

Now step away from them.

Now I'll come in.

me with this ad. I'm trying to sell my
car. It's fine. I'll buy it.

Huh? I want my own transportation.

Yeah, but you don't even know how much
money I want. It's bound to be cheaper

than trauma care.

Okay, you got a deal.

How did it go? Great for dad.

And even better for the dentist.

What do you mean? The kid needs braces.

And a doc said his bite's way out of
whack.

And I haven't bitten anyone in a month.

Oh, look, honey, it's not going to be as
bad as you think.

Besides, lady will be glad you wore
them.

Hey, Dad. Hey, Kev.

What? Hi, Kev.

What's the matter with him?

I gotta get braces.

I never needed them.

Yes, you did. We just couldn't afford
it.

Is that a fire hose I see? Yes, ma 'am.

That's funny. I don't see any fire.

I don't smell any smoke.

Well, yeah.

I guess Mr. Jones must have put himself
out.

Junior, they're having macaroni and
cheese.

I can't eat that stuff. Makes my mouth
lock.

It's my last chance to have it. I'm
getting braces next week.

Hey, they're not so bad. He used them
after the first year.

Thing is, we just started junior high,
and now I've got to start wearing an

erector set in my mouth.

Nobody cares if we wear braces or not.

I already made a lot of new friends.

Anyways, I'll put my books away, and
then I'll go to the cafeteria together.

You better be careful. Mr. Jones is
still pretty mad at you. Yeah, well, I

didn't know Bunsen burner could go that
high.

So, I was going to eat out on the lawn.
You want to come? I promised I'd eat in

the cafeteria with Miles and his
friends.

You mean the heavy metal group?

Huh?

That's so sweet of you, Wesley.

Treating them like normal people.

So, you want to come with us?

No, thanks.

It's really coming down up there.

Hey, champ.

What's up?

Oh, yeah, a hot date. So Mom's letting
me borrow her Porsche.

You never let me.

Well, I will the next time you have a
hot date. That's Tuesday.

You want to meet her?

Anyway, I'm starving. Where's Belvedere?
He just took Kevin's car to the market.

He took my car out in the rain?

So?

Yes, that happens when one walks three
miles through a typhoon.

Yeah, I guess I forgot to tell you that
sometimes the distributor shorts out if

you let water get into the engine.

Well, it had to go somewhere after the
passenger compartment filled up.

Yeah, I guess I also forgot to tell you
that the back window doesn't go up.

Because there is no back window.

The handle works great. Not anymore.

Well, I better get going. I'll see you.

So, what's for dinner?

Soup.

Wesley, did you finish all that
marshmallow fluff?

Yeah. I made a peanut butter and
marshmallow sandwich.

How disgusting.

Now I have nothing to put on my
liverwurst.

What are you watching?

Village of the Damned.

Oh, yes. You were born there, weren't
you?

What's the matter?

I'm getting my stupid braces tomorrow.

Oh, I'm sure it'll be fine.

Yeah, I know, but what if there was
someone you liked a whole lot, and she

you, only you were afraid she wouldn't
if you had braces?

I don't think a person like that's very
nice.

They're not really worth liking.

Well, what if you already knew she
wasn't very nice, but you liked her

Look, Wesley.

braces aren't going to change who you
are. They certainly shouldn't change

people think about you.

So you're not going to start calling me
Metal Mouth? Certainly not.

You know I have much better names than
that.

Oh, thank you, and so do you. But I
guess lovely is the wrong word for a

Shall we say stunning?

Good morning.

Good morning.

My, what an attractive trio.

Heather, Kevin, we'd better hurry. We
don't want to be late for our toothpaste

commercial.

We've got one heck of a handsome family.

I'm back from the dentist.

What has he done to my baby?

He looks like a geek.

He does not, kitten.

More like the front end of a 58 DeSoto.

Don't worry, Wesley.

It'll all be fine.

Yes, dear.

Many respected psychologists and small
appliance experts say that wearing

need not interfere with leading a full
and productive life.

Sure, Wes.

Thank goodness he's gone.

Yeah. And anyway, the kid will be better
off outside.

Unless there's lightning.

Lance,

what's the matter?

Nothing.

Because I'm not getting braces ever.

you can't keep this up forever.

How'd it go?

Did you get your braces?

What's he doing?

He said he's not going to open up his
mouth for the rest of his life.

Can I have that in writing?

Look, maybe you don't like them right
now, but you're just going to have to

used to them.

Say something.

They're stupid.

Is he down yet?

He said he was coming. I'm surprised
he's going to school at all, the way he

carried on last night about those
braces.

Well, I think with a good night's sleep,
he'll have gotten these out of his

system.

I'm ready.

Are we belly dancing for show and tell?

Wes, what are you doing?

This way I can talk and nobody can see
my braces.

Do you really think your braces look any
more ridiculous than this thing? I

don't care.

Fine. You go to school like that, maybe
you'll see how silly you're being.

Come on, Heather.

Oh, don't forget your lunch, Salome.

It's your favorite.

Bologna and cheese on raisin bread and a
pack of ho -hos.

I already told you I'm not eating
anything. I can't suck through a straw.

Oh, don't worry. I put it in the
blender.

The brakes might need a little
tightening.

So might the steering wheel.

What's all this stuff?

Oh, just a few things I found when I
cleaned out the car.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, and the mechanic at the station
asked if I had any records of previous

repairs.

Uh, yeah, yeah, maybe.

Here's last month's.

Oh. And how are you getting out? on
without your little red roadster.

Oh, great.

You must be getting plenty of exercise.

Well, no, actually, I bought another
car. Oh, really?

Yeah, well, after I paid my rent and
stuff, I still had some money left, so I

got one of those stupid little Japanese
cars, you know.

You mean one of those silly little
things that get you all the way to where

want to go?

Hey, Mr.

Felvedere, once you get a few of the
bugs out and maybe tune up, I know

going to enjoy that old car just as much
as I did.

I don't think that's possible.

Come in.

Oh, hi, Mr. Bowden. Hello, Miles.

Is Wesley here? We're supposed to go to
the library together.

I believe he's out doing some chores,
but it should be done soon.

Now, where's that plastic bottle opener?

Oh, don't worry. I found it.

you've given up the veil and put on
something more suited to your

Hey, I've gotten a lot of compliments.

Wesley, braces are nothing to be ashamed
of, so why don't you take that silly

thing off and forget all about this?

No, I'm never opening my mouth in public
again.

Well, that should save us all a lot of
embarrassment.

Mr. Belvedere's right. There's nothing
to be ashamed of.

I know.

What happened to your braces?

got him. Huh?

My dad waited out in the car because he
hates Venice.

So I just sat in the lobby for an hour
and then came back out and kept my mouth

shut ever since.

And they haven't caught on yet?

Of course not. They're just adults.

the problem yet?

Yes, I traced it back to the day you and
Mrs. Owens decided to have children.

Come on, Belvedere, Kevin didn't sell
you a lemon on purpose.

He just got lucky.

If I'm not spending another dime on this
internal machine, I'm just going to fix

it myself.

I didn't know you were a mechanical
genius too, big guy. Oh, yes, I had some

experience when I worked for the royal
family.

What'd you do?

Jumpstart the queen every morning?

and maybe it's the plug.

Yes, well, I put some new ones in and I
tighten up the solenoid, whatever the

hell that is.

Well, let me give her a start.

Good God, it's a miracle.

Maybe it's not such a clunker after all.
Yeah, well, perhaps Lizzie and I just

started off on the wrong foot there.
Yeah, right.

Come on, let's take him for a spin.

Not an idea.

Hey, Tim.

Come on, Wes.

I just don't want anyone to see me. I'm
too hideous.

Okay, whatever you want.

Maybe there's some place you could send
me. You know, like an island for dental

defectives? Then I could be with my own
kind.

Look, pal, you're acting stupid.

I mean, nobody around here cares if
you've got braces on your teeth or a

birdcage around your head.

We still love you, right?

Yeah, I know.

So why don't you turn around and give
your old pop a big grin?

Night,

kid.

I'm going out now.

Remember, small bills are not
impossible.

Miles is coming over. We're going to the
movies.

Oh. You know, it's funny.

I bought another bottle of that.

Marshmallow fluff.

But someone ate all of it.

Oh, yeah?

You didn't make another of your peanut
butter sandwiches, did you?

No. No, of course not. You wouldn't be
able to eat for those cumbersome braces.

Right. That's assuming you have braces.

Huh? What do you mean?

Maybe you're faking it.

But, of course, that would be the most
incredible act of audacity beyond any

the most perverse, twisted of minds.

That sounds exactly like you.

Show me some chrome, Jerome.

No problem.

Now smile for Mommy.

What was going through your mind? Did
you think you could fool us forever?

Just till I was 18.

Well, you must have a real high opinion
of your mother and me.

Just a couple of dipsticks who wouldn't
know a... cactus if it poked us in the

rear end?

Have you been reading my diary?

Well, I know one thing. You're going
back to that dentist today if possible

you're getting those braces and that's
final.

But they're gonna ruin my life. I don't
want to hear it. But they will.

You wear braces and they turn you into a
nerd and a wimp and a jerk that nobody

likes. Wes.

Well, that's what they did to Miles.

See ya.

I got him.

Pretty gross, huh?

I even scared a couple pit bulls on the
way to school.

Look, I'm sorry about all that stuff I
said.

I didn't mean about you being a nerd and
jerking stuff.

You're my best friend.

And you have been ever since the day you
barked on me coming back from the class

trip.

Oh, yeah.

And hey, don't worry about braces
turning you into a nerd.

Yeah? Yeah.

I was already one before I got them.
Just made me use their spot.

Uh -oh, here comes Kimberly.

Hi,

Wesley. Oh, hi, Kimberly.

I was just wondering, are you going to
the Sock Hop Friday?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe.

I thought if you want to, we could go
together. My mom could drive us and pick

us up later.

Well, that sounds great, but you sure
you want to go with me?

Why wouldn't I?

Oh, I don't know. I mean, what if
something happened that made me look

different?

What are you talking about?

All I know is that I like you a lot, and
that's all that really matters.

Really?

At least so I get these things off.

Hmm. Little going -away party?

Yep. Me and this junk have had a lot of
good times together.

Well, you're young.

You'll make other friends.

You know, you were right about these.

Nobody even cared except Kimberly, and
she got two teeth knocked out at

dodgeball.

Oh, well, Wesley, there's no need to
throw these away.

Why? I can't have this stuff.

No, but I can.

Mr. Belvedere?

Hello, Kevin.

Oh, I got a message, said you wanted to
see me. I would have driven over to your

place, but unfortunately it isn't
downhill.

Lizzie's still giving you trouble, huh?

I now have a platinum card from the auto
club.

That's funny.

Oops. It must be time for his four o
'clock feeding.

No, I don't get it. I mean, when I had
the car, You ran great.

Perhaps it misses you.

Yeah, well, I better get back to campus.

Actually, I've been thinking, and I feel
bad that you've had to sell it. I know

how much you loved it.

Yeah, well, I'll get over it.

I mean, you're a young man on the go.

You really should have a hot set of
wheels.

What are you saying?

I want my money back, you little
huckster.

A deal's a deal. And a broken neck is a
broken neck.

Hey, I didn't ask you to buy that car.
You begged me. Oh, yes. All these years.

acting so sweet and innocent.

It was just a plot so you could sell me
that car.

All right, I'm out of here. Oh, no, not
without that ton of scrap iron in the

garage. Look, I'm not taking that car
back.

Very well, then. I'll have it towed back
to your apartment and you can mail me a

check for my money.

Listen, when I get home, I better not
find that car in front of my apartment.

You got that straight?

Very well.

It won't be.

Good.

I'll see you.

Mr. Belvedere will continue in a moment.

Kevin and I have settled our vehicular
dispute amicably.

He has agreed to repay me in weekly
installments.

I have agreed to remove the car from his
apartment, also in weekly installments.

Meanwhile, all's quiet on the
orthodontic front as Wesley adjusts to

In fact, he says they give him a
menacing quality, which he likes.

and I consider redundant.

I always felt these Owens children would
be the death of me.

The only thing I'm not sure of is which
one will kill me first.

Okay, Mr. Belvedere, I'm ready to drive
you to the market.

Well, that answers that.

I'm Morton Dean. Later on Nightline, the
nuclear disaster we failed to prepare

for.
