I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.

Benny, just pretend the snow is your
food and that shovel's your fork, and

you'll do fine.

Let's see why we don't just let it melt.

Melt? Ben, that could take days, weeks.

Yeah, then how am I supposed to get my
car out to go to school?

I don't see why we just don't let it
melt.

I'm not lifting the shovel again until
you start moving some snow.

Oh, I'll move some snow.

Hey, Carol!

Excuse me.

Hey, Sit Nose, eat this.

You eat this.

Come on, Sit Nose.

Hey, I'm looking for Mike Siva. I got a
special delivery package for you. Sign

here, please.

Oh, whoa, something for me? I can't
believe it. Yeah, you don't know anyone

can write.

Oh, wow, food. That's right.

Not just some gift certificate, the real
thing. An eight -pound bag of

pineapples that somebody had to carry
for two miles.

Oh, wow, it's from Maui.

Where we went on our vacation last
summer.

La -di -da.

Oh, wow, it's from Malia.

Malia, was she the one with the coconut
broth?

Mike, show me that smile again.

Show me that smile again.

Don't waste another.

from Hawaii.

I had to let you know I'm finally
getting off the island.

Next weekend, I'll be in Los Angeles for
a tour guide convention.

I'm so excited.

I'm so excited.

Me too.

Too bad, though. My first trip to the
mainland is still 3 ,000 miles away from

you. Well, that's life.

Anyway, I wanted you to know that
someone far away remembers you very

Love, Malia.

It's been such a wonderful ten days.

I'm really going to miss you.

When are you coming back to Maui? I
don't know when you're coming to New

Oh, you're never coming to New York, are
you?

All right, all right, we'll forget New
York. But if you ever make it to the

mainland, and I'm talking any place, you
just let me know and I'm there.

Mike. No, no, I'm serious.

You'll forget all about me in 20 years
or so. Ah, no way.

Well, just to make sure.

Here. Oh, wow. This is a good luck
charm.

If you hold it tight and make a wish,
it'll come true.

Really? Next time I see you, I want this
back.

Shh, I'm wishing here.

Oh, it didn't come true.

Oh, yes, it did.

Yeah, I'd like to check on your flights
to Los Angeles.

Oh, hold yourself.

Evening, Carol.

Dad, um... Dad, I know I missed my
curfew, but we, uh... I am so sorry,

Dad. I can't lie to you.

Carol, you disgust me.

Why? Look, you know, you're my sister.
You should be able to lie.

You won't tell Mom and Dad when I came
in, will you? Of course I will.

You will?

No, that was a lie. See, it's easy.

So you won't?

Ah, no.

Oh, thanks, Mike. You're so sweet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm here. I'd like to
check on your flights to Los Angeles

tomorrow.

I'll need to come back on Sunday.

And how much is that going to cost?

No, seriously.

Hello?

Mike, you're flying to California to see
Malia, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

Now, I know that's a lie.

You wanted to buy a ticket.

Yeah, for you, one way.

No, you want to see Malia.

What a wonderful thing to do. I mean,
forgetting everything and flying

all the way across the country, all for
the love of a lady. This is the kind of

romantic thing that you only read about.

A rich, powerful man.

Maybe a duke.

One day, he sees this simple peasant
girl.

Not doing anything provocative, just
pumping water.

Does Dad know you read this kind of
stuff?

He can't forget about her. And from that
day on, he's willing to give up his

power, his fortune, his stable of
mighty... Carol, Carol, forget your

right? Michael Seaver, I am proud to be
your sister.

Oh, come on, look, I don't mean that.

What's wrong?

Well, unlike your stupid Duke, I'm a
little short of funds.

Well, how short?

$279.

Oh, how much is the ticket?

$279.

Mike, I have more than that in my
savings account.

Congratulations.

Mike, I can lend it to you. Yeah, yeah,
yeah.

You can?

It's for romance.

Well, I'll pay you back real soon.

Don't ruin this moment with a lie.

Okay, okay, it'll be weeks, maybe even
months before I pay you back. That's

better. If I ever do it all. Don't push
it.

Now, with this one weekend in
California, more coffee, mother?

Okay.

I'll be able to check out some of the
finest colleges in the country. Can I

freshen that for you, Dad? No.

You got it.

You know, I mean, like USC, UCLA, the
Rose Bowl.

The Rose Bowl is not a college, Mike.

Oh, well, good thing we had this talk
before my trip.

My guess is this has something to do
with all those pineapples Malia sent

Okay, okay. I meant to mention that to
you guys, but I just got so busy taking

out the trash, cleaning up my room.

Heck, pouring a coffee.

Traveling by yourself on a trip like
this is a very big step for somebody

age. But, Dad, I mean, when you were 17,
didn't you bike ride through Europe, a

whole separate country, I believe?

Why do they always remember these things
at a time like this?

But your father didn't go to Europe to
meet a girl.

Oh, sure he did. That Mindy Boom Boom
knockman. He told me all about it.

Nothing.

I told you nothing.

Mike, this trip isn't practical for many
reasons. For instance, the airfare to

California is very expensive.

Oh, yeah, yeah, but Carol's lending me
the money.

Get out of town. Thanks, Dad. Wait,
wait, hold on.

Carol's doing this of her own free will?

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. I mean,
she understands that sometimes a duke

to see his peasant girl pumping that
water.

Well, Carol explains it a lot better
than I do.

Honey, you really like this girl. Oh,
yes.

Maggie. Jason, he really likes this
girl.

Mike, we're sorry, but the answer is no.

Okay, okay, I accept that, Dad.

Work on him, Mom.

Maggie, there's a part of me that wants
him to go, too.

I mean, you've got to admire a guy who's
willing to go to any end, travel any

distance, just to make a fool of himself
over a woman, as much as I just did

now.

Jason is 17, and he's got the money, and
he's got a chance to spend two days

alone with a girl he really, really
likes.

Not a snowball's chance, Mike!

Oh, Mike, you'll get in trouble, big
trouble. Be logical. You can't do this.

But you've got to do this?

You're so romantic.

Yeah, that's me.

All right, now fork over the bucks.

All right, sure, okay.

Now, what's your plan?

Well, I get on a plane in New York and I
get off in Los Angeles.

You call that a plan?

Well, where do you expect me to get off?
Denver?

I'm just saying that you should work on
your cover.

I mean, wait till it's real late and
then sneak out. Have me make up stories

about you being at Boner's house for the
day.

And I can always say you're in another
room if they ask.

I can lie.

I can lie.

I can lie.

Agent Fenton, reporting for duty. Ready
to do my part in Operation Coconut.

Where's my suitcase?

I hid it in this garbage bag.

Oh, no.

Just go.

Do you know what the yellow bird is? I'm
sure it's nice. Now get out. It's the

taxi. Whatever. Go.

All right, Carol.

Mom and Dad are upstairs, and they don't
suspect a thing. Everything's going to

be just fine, so just calm down. Okay,
Mike. All right, Mike. Here are all the

flight times, okay?

You take New York into Denver, then a
five -hour layover, and then into L .A.

five -hour layover? That's crazy.

It's cheaper.

But this is romance.

This is my money.

Sound perfect. Okay. All right. Agent
Pham reporting. The yellow bird has

landed.

Huh? The cab's here, boy.

Okay. All right, Carol, can I go?

I haven't moved yet, have I?

Mike, the cab's waiting.

Carol, look, maybe it's not such a good
idea that I go. I mean, Jason Bateman's

hosting Friday night videos tonight.

Papa Bear at 8 o 'clock.

What?

Dad's coming. Gee whiz.

Hi, Carol.

Come on, Ben. I thought I told you to
take this up.

I did.

Is Mike with you?

Not anymore.

No, no, he's in his room.

Yeah, his car wouldn't be here if he
wasn't in his room. And it's here, all

right. See?

What was that?

What was what?

I'll see you inside.

Operation Coconuts to Papa Bear before
the yellow bird flew the coop.

Mike!

I was in here first, dog breath.

Mike, don't call your sister names.

All right.

Mom, he's been in there all morning and
he says he's going to stay in through

breakfast.

Mike, you...

breakfast this morning, Mom.

What are you doing in there?

Whatever it is, it sure smells good.

Mike,

are you all right?

Oh, well, we'll see you downstairs in a
few minutes, okay?

Uh -huh.

in a few minutes? I don't know.

Sure smells good.

Another eight inches out there.

Gonna be a lot of shoveling today.

Where's Mike?

Carol said he changed his mind and
doesn't feel like breakfast.

You still upset about not being able to
go to Los Angeles?

Yeah, I'm really enjoying my five hours
here in Denver.

Why am I whispering?

Mike, telephone!

I'll take it upstairs.

Carol, who's on the phone?

Mike.

Um, um, and Boner.

He's going over to Boner's house. Wait a
minute.

Mike. Uh, Dad.

You're not going anywhere, mister.

I'm not?

Who's Dad talking to?

Mike, bye.

Don't worry, he's not taking off until
he does his share of the shoveling.

Dad, that's going to be a little tough.

Mike, I want to see you outside in five
minutes. No excuses.

Say goodbye, boner.

Uh, goodbye, Dr. Siva.

I'm Mike, remember?

Keep your face covered.

Whoops. And just try and shovel like a
normal person, okay?

I'll do what I can.

Jason, Mike's been out there shoveling
like a man possessed.

Yeah, after all that nonsense on the
phone about trying to get out of it.

You know, it's funny.

Just when you think you know your kids,
they surprise you.

Hot chocolate.

All right.

Mike?

Oh, come on. You especially deserve a
break.

Malia? Malia, it's me.

Mike? Mike!

Hey, you look so different.

What are you doing here?

Well, what do you think?

Seriously, now, what are you doing here?

What am I doing here? I'm here to see
you.

Come on, you came all the way from New
York just to see me?

Yeah, well, I just happened to be in the
neighborhood.

Mike, you should have told me you were
coming.

Yeah, well, I did. Remember our last
night in Hawaii?

But I got this convention business all
weekend.

Uh -huh.

Mike, you got to understand.

It's not like I can just... Just forget
your whole convention and everything?

Exactly.

Well, there's going to be this closing
banquet tomorrow night. I could get an

extra ticket.

Would you want to go?

Tomorrow night?

I mean, I feel so terrible. You flew all
the way out here just to see me and a

book. Oh, no, I didn't.

You didn't? Oh, no, heck no.

I was out here just checking out the
colleges. Yeah, you know, ULA, UCSC, the

Rosebud. The Rosebud.

Oh, yeah, it was a great interview.

Well, anyway,

I got to get back on my plane. It leaves
in about ten minutes.

Oh, five minutes.

Oh, real soon.

I see.

Well, I just wanted to make sure that
I...

I got a chance to come out here and see
you and say hello.

And I did.

Hello.

There, I said it again.

Mike, I... No, no, no, I gotta go.

My plane's gonna leave here.

Ben, would you call Mike to dinner?

Uh, Mike Seaver?

Yeah, that's the one.

Why do I look like I know where he is?

Ben, is something going on?

Uh, Carol might know.

Know what?

Where the heck Mike is?

Well, um, he told me that he was going
over to Boner's house for dinner.

Jake, did you ask Mike to shovel the
backyard?

The backyard? You mean the lawn?

He hit the edge of the driveway and he
kept right on going. We could play

croquet out there.

He's been shoveling all day. I'm worried
about him.

Well, well, well.

What do you know?

Looks like Mike found a new hobby, huh,
Ben?

I don't know nothing and I'm not saying
a word.

Hit me again and I'll bite you.

Is it clear?

Boomer, what are you doing here? They'll
find out.

I'm just returning Mikey's clothes.

Mike?

Is Mike in here?

Mike Seaver?

No, he isn't, and that's the truth.

That's fine.

Good idea.

Mike? Oh, hi, Mom.

Mike? Mike, there you are.

Yeah, there he is, just like I've been
saying all day. Why think he... Ben,

Ben, there's no reason to go over all
that. I mean, everybody's hungry. I'm

hungry. Mike, are you hungry, or did you
eat on the plane?

I'm still here, Dad.

Grounded. I'm not going anyplace.

Just wanted to check if it was live or
Memorex.

She don't feel very live, Dad. This has
been the worst day of my entire life. I

mean, I've been rejected by a girl. I
got my car taken away for a month, plus

owe Carol $279, plus interest.

No, she never even mentioned the
interest, Dad.

I wish I'd never even gone on this
stupid trip.

Remember what I told you about my trip
to Europe to meet Mindy, what's her

Nachman. Nachman, yeah.

Well, you know, after spending $407 on
airfare, $63 on a 10 -speed, $84 on

assorted sundries, you know what she
told me?

What? She said, I just hope that we'll
always be good friends.

Yeah.

Evidently, she didn't think my sundries
were that well assorted.

Why, Dad? Why do we do it?

You want my professional opinion?

Yeah. Men are nuts.

Or maybe it really is true that it's
better to have loved and lost than never

have loved at all.

Hawa! You ought to write that down.

It's already been written down, Mike.

Every guy I know at some point or
another ends up making a chump of

a woman. Maybe you just got through it
early.

Night, Mike.

Hey, Dad.

Was your trip to Team Indian Europe
worth it?

Not at today's prices.

But, uh... Yeah.

Yeah. Oh,

what a night.

I've grounded more kids tonight than the
FAA's grounded planes.

but it looks like everyone involved in
this mess has been caught and dealt

and that is just fine with me, because I
have had enough surprises.

Hi, Boner.
