You can be sure the wok is at the

Perfecto. Hey, Dad, look, we got a deal
for you. If you'll just order pizza,

we'll pay for it. Two toppings?

Are you guys saying you have no faith in
your old dad's ability to cook a simple

Chinese dinner?

Yep.

Hi, honey.

Hi, guys.

What's burning? Me.

If anyone says one more thing about my
cooking, I may just forget the whole

thing. No one's going to say a word.

What are we having? Fact beef.

Yum.

Sorry I'm late. I was over at Annie's.
Oh, your new friend?

Oh, Carol, I don't remember that
sweater.

Oh, no, it's not mine. It's Annie's. She
loaned it to me.

Oh, no, call the nerd police. She's out
of uniform again.

Bye.

You wearing makeup?

Just a little base.

Powder, blush, lipstick, mascara, and
eyeliner.

Annie? Yeah, she says with the right
color and shading, I have a beautiful

Hey, you know she's right.

Shut up. You don't see me making fun of
your friends.

Even the ones that drool.

You guys would be less hostile after
some crispy fried duck lips.

Oh? Yeah, Annie and I are going out if
that's okay.

Well, Carol, usually we know your
friends before you go out with them.

Well, what's to know? She's a
cheerleader. She's on the drama club.

and very popular.

So what's he hanging around with you
for?

Mike. Hey, I didn't say it. He did.

Sorry, it sounded like you.

So is it okay?

Where will you be going?

Shopping for earrings since I just got
my ears pierced.

Oh.

Is it okay?

Sure. Just be careful walking after
dark. Oh, don't worry. We won't be

Annie, drive.

Annie, drive.

I heard.

Hey, do you think she could pick up some
burgers for us on the way over?

If it makes you feel any better, you can
take me to get my ears pierced.

I'm serious, Jason.

Well, what I'm hearing is that I think
you're a little bothered by the fact

Carol's actually making a friend who has
some real influence on her. Oh, how

wrong you are, Doctor.

I want Carol to have plenty of friends.
I just wish she'd pick someone who

wasn't a slut.

who makes our daughter up to look like
Prince.

Prince is very popular.

I know, I know. I'm just worried about
her, that's all. I mean, Carol's never

had a friend who was so social.

Well, Carol's also at the age where
she's going to rebel a little. And that

include picking some friends her parents
don't always approve of.

Think how the parents of Mike's friends
must feel.

Okay, Mom, Dad, I'll see you in the
morning.

Okay. Morning!

Boner just called, and his parents don't
want him home alone tonight because

they're out. So I'm going to go spend
the night at his place.

You're babysitting Boner?

Somebody's got to.

Mike, shouldn't you tell us these things
first?

That's what I just did, Mom.

No, no, that's not how it works.

Are you guys actually saying I can't go?

You know the rules, Mike. You have to
ask in advance.

Please, oh, please, can I go to the
bonus house?

Maybe staying home tonight will teach
you how and when to ask for something.

I don't... You guys have gone too far
this time.

You know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to tell you what I'm going to
do.

All right, now I'm going to stay like
this until you let me go to the bonus

house. How do you like that?

rushing to your brain will do it some
good.

What didn't they let you do this time?

Spend the night at Boner's.

Can't believe this. Annie Boyer is
coming to my house.

My stupid brother is sitting on his
head. And I'm going to stay just like

I don't know, maybe it's time we
wallpaper Carol's room in rubber.

After you'll excuse me, I have to go
call Boner and break my best friend's

heart.

Why does he have to be related to me?

While I can't, I have a normal brother
who's not a total embarrassment.

Hey, that's what I'm here for.

Boner, look, I'm sorry, I just can't
make it, all right?

My family needs me.

Yeah, all right, let me ask. Hey, Dad?

You're busy. Uh, yeah, boom.

Should be fine. I'll call you if it's a
hassle.

Okay, bye.

These are good. You want one?

No, thanks, Dad.

Uh, about tonight.

Yeah, about tonight. Look, would you
please do me a favor and try not to

your sister tonight, okay?

Carol? Yeah, that sister.

She's got a new friend, you know, so try
to be a little sensitive, okay?

Hey, Dad, guys are supposed to be tough,
not sensitive.

Oh, really?

Well, then explain Alan Alda.

I can't.

Let me let you in on a little secret,
Mike. Women go crazy for sensitive guys.

Oh, come on, Dad.

Yeah, you remember those classic movies
I bought and I forced you to watch?

Yeah. Remember Cat's a Blanket?

Yeah, with that old guy with the lisp?

Bogey, yes.

Well, do you remember how Carol and your
mom cried at the end?

Yeah. Well, they cried as all women do,
Mike. Not because Bogey's a tough guy,

which he was, but because he was also
sensitive.

Sensitive, huh? Mm -hmm.

Here's looking at you, kid.

Needs work.

brother, too.

And this is my father. Hi, Annie. Hi.

Well, it's nice to meet the artist who
painted Carol's face.

Dad? Okay. I have a father, too.

Oh,

and that's Mike.

Hi.

See you later, Mike.

Oh, right. Yeah, I have to go out and
change. I was just in the garage fixing

the Porsche.

It's Porsche, Ferrari, who can keep them
straight?

Come on, girl. I brought over a couple
of hot sweaters I went to this drive.

great.

So you guys can just hang around here
tonight?

Uh -huh.

This one makes you look so sexy.

Really?

What do you want to do tonight?

Well, I thought we were going to the
mall.

Yeah, but we just did that this
afternoon.

Well, we could see something in six
blocks. Anything you want to see? Not

really.

You mean stay here? We could. For the
night? Hey, that would be fun.

Yeah.

Carol's going to have her own friends,
and we shouldn't worry unless there's

something to worry about.

You sound so smart when you agree with
me.

Don't miss your lunch.

Sweet and sour shrimp?

Oh, is that me?

that recipe to the letter, I had water
dancing like Baryshnikov here.

Honey, I think you used salt instead of
sugar.

Oh, that's impossible.

Oh, it's okay. I mean, it could happen
to anybody. I mean, it looks exactly

alike. It's an easy mistake.

So you've done it too, huh?

You've got to be kidding.

This color would look good on you.

Not as good as it looks on you. Not
true.

Let's face it, all these look better on
you.

Carol, your father and I are getting
some Chinese takeout from Walk Around

Clock.

I thought Dad was... He was.

Would you set the table for me, please?
Sure.

Are you sure you don't mind hanging out
here all evening? No.

Ladies.

Hi.

What do you want?

Not a thing. I was just out for a fresh
breath of air.

A vicious sweater, Annie.

Thanks. Nice to have a boy's point of
view.

Yeah, well, that's me.

Oh, boy.

Some might even say a man.

Some might even say a sensitive man.

Some might even say I'm gonna puke on my
shoes.

I like your outfit, too.

This? Yeah, well... Well, Don Johnson
sends me these test clothes every month

for my approval.

I guess I'll give these, uh, thumbs up.

Oh, Mike, there's something hanging from
your nose.

Uh, no, Carol, I get the distinct
feeling that it's you wanting me to

Now, if you do, just say the word, and
I'm going.

I want you to know you don't have to be
nice to Mike just because he's my

brother, okay?

I gotta go set the table. I'm gonna
change. I'll be right down. Okay.

Sherry, guess where I am?

The Severs.

Yes, Mike's here.

I think he likes me.

Well, he changed his clothes and combed
his hair.

No, Carol doesn't suspect a thing.

I was wrong.

You should spend the night at Boner's
and leave now.

I'm never going to learn that darn
lesson if I don't stay here tonight.

Well, I don't want you learning any more
this evening.

I think you should go. Go and babysit
your friends. Oh,

well, thanks, Mrs. Steven.

Boner.

Boner, what are you doing here?

Oh, my folks didn't want me to spend the
night alone, so I asked Mikey here if I

could stay over.

He didn't ask?

No, he didn't.

No, no, I didn't ask. And we all know
what that means. No asking, no getting.

I'm only going to learn the hard way.

Boner, my friend, you'll have to go.

Oh, no, but we're all... When, Mike, we
all forget things.

I mean, why should your innocent friends
suffer on account of silly me?

Eh, it's okay.

Boner's tough.

No, I'm not.

Mike, I insist.

Boner, please stay and enjoy the fever
hospitality. Watch TV, play games, keep

each other busy.

Peggy, what's holding you? Let's go,
Jason. We don't have all night.

So I was crying, and my dad said, what's
wrong?

I was too embarrassed to tell him. What
was it? Something on TV.

I don't want to tell you. You'll think
I'm a ditz. No, I won't. You promise you

won't laugh?

I promise.

Okay.

It was one of those long -distance
commercials.

Are you kidding me?

We have to tell Carol because she has to
know.

But we can't tell Carol because it would
break Carol's heart if we tell her. But

if we know, she should know. Yes or no,
you know?

Believe it or not, I do.

I was right about Annie all along, see?

Oh, this is no time to talk about who's
right or wrong.

Why do you only say that when I'm right?

Look, after we pick up dinner, then
we'll come back, we'll warn Mike about

Annie. By then, maybe we'll have figured
out a way to break it to Carol. We

can't go now.

Oh, Maggie, it's a minute there, a
minute back. Nothing will happen.

Especially with Boner there.

Mikey, come on, let me in.

Boner, look, if you're really my friend,
you go spend the night at Eddie's.

Eddie's got a date tonight.

Come on, Mikey, at least let me in to
get my sleeping bag.

All right, all right.

Back in.

Just so you can make the moves on that
chick, huh?

Of course not.

You know, Mike, this is totally uncool.
She's your sister's friend and... Oh,

wow.

You were saying?

Mike, is Boner staying for dinner?

Uh, no, no. Actually, he's leaving right
now to go spend the night at Eddie's

house. You sure you can't get out of it
yet? He gets real disappointed.

But thanks for stopping over, and I'll
see you at school on Wednesday.

Carol, go ahead and try on the peach
blouse I brought. I forgot the

Okay.

Call us when Mom and Dad get back, okay?

Yeah, sure, fine. No problem.

Are these the good chopsticks?

Best we have.

Annie, that blue thing you have on
there, it's nice.

What do you call it?

Sweater.

Oh, good.

It's catchy.

I'm not sure this one goes with my
earrings, though.

Earrings? Here.

Tell me what you see.

Uh, yeah, yeah, those are earrings, all
right.

Would you like to go with my sweater?

Oh, oh, definitely.

Are you sure?

Uh, well, just to be sure, let me double
check.

Wow.

I was hoping this night would end up
like this.

Yeah, but Carol might come back.

Forget Carol.

I like your style.

Annie! Carol!

Hey, Carol.

Oh, my good, we have to talk.

Yeah. Now, I know this is shocking, but
Annie is using Carol because she's

interested in you.

No.

Yes, I heard her on the phone, and I
wanted to warn you before anything

because something like this could
devastate Carol.

Yeah. I mean, yeah.

You know, probably the best thing would
be for me to go over to Boner's right

now. Great.

Hey, see you, Dad. Where are you going?

Uh, Boner's house. What?

At Mom's idea.

Don't give me that.

Carol, open the door.

Please?

No, I'm never coming out, ever.

She's trying on a skirt she doesn't
like.

Okay.

I won't bother nobody. I'll just stay
right here.

Boner, I kissed Annie.

Oh, man.

That's fantastic.

Are you nuts? That's horrible.

But I thought that's what you were
after.

Boner, hitting on your sister's best
friend is totally uncool.

Well, you've been.

But Carol saw us, and she went upstairs
crying.

Oh.

So how was it?

How was what? Well, you know, the kiss.

Well, I'm not one to kiss and tell,
Boner, but just between you and me, it

pretty hot.

Wow.

Show me.

I was so stupid to think that somebody
like you would want to be my friend. I

your friend.

Annie, I'm not stupid.

I have a 4 .0 graded average. I'm a
member of the chess club and president

the Future Nuclear Physicists of
America.

I know why you're here.

Okay, you're right.

But I really like you too, I swear.

I never told anybody about those long
-distance commercials before.

Carol, this is the worst thing I've ever
done.

If you hate me forever, I don't blame
you.

Fine, I will.

Just one question, though. What?

Anything to make it up to you.

Why Mike?

He's cute.

Yuck.

Can't kiss worth doodly.

You're just saying that to make me feel
better.

Yeah, I am.

Somehow Carol must have found out what
Annie was up to.

Well.

We'd better get up there and check on
him. That's what I've been saying all

along. So you agree?

Of course I agree. I said it.

Jason, this is no time to be claiming
credit.

Carol!

Sweetheart, are you okay?

Oh, Jason, they're both hysterical.

I told you there was no reason to come
up here.

I didn't mean to hurt anybody.

Is it my fault that women find me
irresistible?

It's a curse.

Now, what would that sensitive guy with
the lisp say?

I guess he'd say, I'm sorry.

I got it.

Hey, Carol, Annie, can I talk to you
both for a minute?

Now, a great many things have happened
to us tonight, and I know that I have to

do the thinking for all of us.

What is it, Mike?

Look, I'm no good at being noble, Carol,
but it doesn't take much to see that

the problems of three little people
don't amount to a hill of beans.

Yeah, and you guys must remember this.

A kiss is just a kiss.

Mike, is this going to take long?

All right, the point is,

I'm sorry, but it can never be for us.

And, Carol, I am really sorry that I
kissed Anne.

Forget about it, Mike.

Yeah, it was nothing.

It was nothing.

Forget about it.

Hey, what about the tears?

The heartbreak?

Hey, what about...

What was I doing wrong?

Play it again Ben.
