I bet we've been together for a million
years.

And I bet we'll be together for a
million more.

Oh, it's like I started breathing on the
night we kissed.

And I can't remember what I ever did
before.

What would we do, baby, without us?

What would we do?

We can't love each other through.

What would we do, baby, without a sha
-la -la -la?

Chips, isn't there anything more
interesting on a test pattern, maybe?

It happens to be a quality show, Alex.

Eric's really cute.

Hey, Matt, can I give a...

I hate baseball.

It's noisy, it's crowded, and everybody
wears those tacky double nets.

Oh, Jennifer, you should know better
than to practice baseball in the house.

Sorry, Dad.

Mallory, turn off the TV. Alex, help me
clean up here. Your Uncle Ned's going to

be here any minute.

Maybe he'll practice with me. Knowing
Uncle Ned, I'm sure he will, but I'm

counting on you to keep him under
control this time.

Don't you like it when Uncle Ned comes?

I love it, but I just wish one time when
your brother comes to town he'd give us

more than two hours' notice.

Uncle Ned may be impulsive, but you've
got to remember one thing.

He's the junior vice president of the
Sintram Corporation, which happens to be

the 12th largest multinational
corporation in the world. In the fast

world of big business, decisions have to
be made like that.

There's no time to think.

We'll get right in someday, huh?

for each and every one of you, starting
with Jennifer.

It's a little New York City skyline
inside a dome.

Shake it up, snows can suck.

Careful with that, it's one of a kind.

I also have one for each of the rest of
you. Oh!

Oh, it's Mallory! Oh, Stephen!

Oh, Stephen, I'm sorry.

of work inside of one of those
buildings?

Should be a perfect fit.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Hi, Mom! Yeah, I'm fine. Have I got a
surprise for you. You will never guess.

just came for a visit.

Uh, who is it? Uh, the gas man.

He just came to read the meter.

Well, he prefers reading at night. He
sleeps better.

reads first.

Can I call you back later, Mom?

Good. Okay, thanks. Bye.

Why did you do that?

No reason.

Look, Elise, I'm on vacation.

I just want to relax. If it's all the
same, I'd like to take a couple of days,

get settled before I talk to Mom and
Dad.

Parents can be tough to deal with
sometimes.

Hey, I know what you mean.

Oh, Ned, it's great that you could get
this time off.

considering that you took a vacation a
couple of months ago.

Uh, yeah!

Yeah, yeah. Well, um, this isn't a
vacation per se.

It's more of a leave of absence. I was
feeling a little burned out. I needed

some time off, you know.

You're not sick now, are you?

No, no, no, no, no. Nothing like that.
Just a little tired.

I was hoping I could stay here for a
while, if it's okay.

Oh, that'd be terrific. Sure, make
yourself at home. We won't bother you.

can even go take a nap if you want. Oh.

Great. Hey!

What do you say we blow this couch out
of here and play a couple of innings,

guys?

You don't know how I appreciate a home
-cooked meal, Elise.

I don't cook much in my apartment
anymore.

Not since the fire.

Listen to me, how you live in that
apartment.

It was such a mess last time we visited.
Come on, Elise. You just caught me at a

bad time.

I didn't have time to tidy up before you
arrived.

It looked like strip mining had been
going on.

No, no strip mining. The geological
surveys we did were inconclusive.

Don't make fun of me, Ned. I work...
about you. I know.

So cute.

You're such a big sister.

Hello, Ned.

How's work?

What's going on at Cintram?

Come on, Dad. I showed you that
clipping.

They've moved up seven notches on the
Fortune 500. You've got a copy of the

Fortune 500 in your wallet?

I wish. I only have the top 25 in my
wallet. I can't see that. I'm completely

listening to my pillow.

I also have, uh...

The clipping from two years ago when you
were promoted to junior vice president.

And your speech before the World Bank.

And your award for best young executive
of 1981.

You got any pictures of me in a
swimsuit?

Come on, Uncle Ned. There's no need for
false modesty. We all know you're a

genius. You're a command of computer
technology. You're business acumen. Your

math abilities are well documented.

That's right. You're looking at a man
who's memorized every number between one

and a hundred.

Oh, yeah? What comes after 63?

Oh, come on, Jennifer. Not when
everybody's watching.

Hello?

Allied International Airlines?

No, I'm sorry. You must have the wrong
number. There's no one named Stanislaw

Demkowski here.

This is Stanislaw.

No, no, I do not know when I will be
leaving it. Can I keep my return ticket

open?

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Bye -bye.

Since I'm up, anybody need anything from
the fridge? Some butter, some baking

soda, some chopped chives?

Yeah, that calls for someone named
Stanislaw.

Yeah, that struck me as strange also.

Hey, Ed. Oh, well, there's a very simple
explanation.

I booked my airline ticket through the
company's computers, and I used an

assumed name so that they wouldn't know
I was here. Otherwise, they'd be calling

every five minutes. There would have
been a problem at work.

May I use your phone for a second? Quick
business call?

Certainly, Stanislaw. After all, you are
a guest in our country.

The Falcon has landed.

The fat man walks alone.

I repeat, the falcon has landed.

The fat man walks alone.

So you're sure about those chopped
chives?

Good morning.

Good morning, Uncle Matt. You sleep
well? Like a baby.

Didn't you hear me crying?

What you working on?

Algebra. Huh, what's the problem?

Algebra.

Need some help?

Well, I did this problem with that
formula you showed me last night, and I

equals 7, but the book says x equals 9.

Compromise. Make x equal 8.

Okay, now, I want all the dirt. Tell me
everything.

The inner workings of the corporate
world.

Bold, daring decisions made in the face
of an ever -changing and uncertain world

economy.

Survival of the fittest elevated to the
highest levels of corporate technology.

Come on, Uncle Ned, tell me, is that
what it's like?

Kind of.

God, I love getting the inside story.

Don't encourage him, Uncle Ned.

Uncle Ned, what is really the most
exciting part of it all?

I have two secretaries.

You've just destroyed all his fantasies.

Hopefully I've created a new one.

Okay, kids, get a move on. Your
carpool's going to be here any minute.

Uncle Ned, can you give me a few
pointers?

We had a big game after school today.

I've been in a batting slump lately.

Well, that's because you swing at too
many bad pitches, Jennifer, and I told

that last time I was here. All right,
come on, come on.

Go outside and I'll toss you a couple.

Uh -oh, a car sealer. That's okay,
that's okay. We can get in a couple of

on the way to the car. Hey, Alex,
Malibu, take some slides. Okay.

I didn't even know what I was going to
say.

You were going to say that Ned is
childish and irresponsible.

I wasn't going to say that.

That's a given.

What I was going to say is, uh... I
think something's going on that Ned's

telling us.

He's been so evasive about why he's in
town now. I know what you mean, but

that's Ned.

He told us last night he's feeling burnt
out and he just wants to take a leave

of absence.

Well, then what's all this stuff, uh...

The fat man has landed.

Actually, it was the falcon that landed.
The fat man walked alone.

I didn't get a break, Mrs. Anderson.
She's got a big game today. Well, it's a

couple of minutes.

That woman should not be driving a
carpool. It's far too irritable.

I'll get that.

Just a minute. I'll see.

Elise, do you have any friends named
Bernice?

Uh, Bernice Wilkins.

Bernice, what's your last name?

Okay, she's got that right. How tall is
she?

This is about... Ned!

Bernice! Hi.

Who answered the phone?

The gas man.

Can I call you back?

Thanks.

Don't ever call here again.

I just don't want the people from work
to know I'm here.

Why not?

Because I've been having some problems
at work lately.

Some big problems.

Well, truth of the matter is, I quit.

Or if you want to get all technical
about it, I was fired.

Oh, Ned.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, the thing is, I didn't leave
on exactly the best of terms with the

company brass.

There may be some things they might want
to say to me that I don't really want

to hear, and some things they might want
to do to me that I don't want to have

done.

What are you saying? Are you in some
physical danger?

Only if they catch me.

I don't understand. Why are they after
you?

Well, I had a little disagreement with
the president of the company. All of

is over a little disagreement?

Well, at first it was a little
disagreement.

Then I poured a cup of coffee on his
head.

On your boss?

He said he wanted a second cup.

Uh, look, um, why don't I just explain
this from the very beginning?

About two years ago, the Syntram
Corporation bought a small company

Hemsdale Machine Parts. And as it turns
out, Syntram bought that company for

only one reason.

To make money.

To lose money.

Uh -huh. I was never very good in
business.

You see, once the merger went through,
Cintram could claim that Hemsdale was an

unprofitable business and shut it down.
And they would use the loss as a huge

tax write -off. And the whole
transaction would actually make millions

dollars for the company. And I was the
man in charge of making all that happen.

That was your big promotion, right? I
remember that.

Yeah, Alex took the day off from school.

Yeah, well, a couple of months ago, I
visited Hemsdale for the first time.

and saw the people we were about to put
out of work. All 1 ,800 of them. And it

just really got to me.

But you must have known that they
existed before that.

Until then, they were just numbers on a
computer printout, Steve. But when I saw

them, they were real people.

They had overalls and lunch buckets and
hats, umbrellas.

The forecast called for rain.

What happened?

A light shower. Sun came out about a
year ago.

What did you do?

Oh, well, I went to the president of our
company and I explained how I felt.

I suggested that he call the merger off
and keep Hemsdale open.

And he said to me, Ned, let's keep this
in perspective.

Those 1 ,800 people have their financial
concerns and we have ours.

Moments later, the man had coffee in his
hair.

Pouring coffee on his head was pretty
dumb, but do you really think they'll

someone after you?

Big business can be dangerous.

I've heard of people who've disappeared
after mixing up a lunch order.

Must be very difficult for you. I mean,
after all you've worked for for the past

ten years.

I guess I had no other choice.

But, um, what was all this business
about the falcon and the fat man?

Oh, that was nothing.

I was canceling a racquetball date I had
with Billy Wood Fett. We call him the

fat man.

I'm glad you told us, Ned.

At least this will put an end to all
this cloak and dagger business.

Of course.

Pussycat, Pussycat, where have you been?

Just tell him I've been to London to
visit... No, forget it.

Oh, you're clear.

What's the big deal? I mean, we had time
for one more inning.

It was getting dark, Uncle Ned.

So what? It was a tie game.

I was getting tired.

Hey, you play tired. That's part of
the...

Good stuff.

All the kids had to go home for dinner.

What a jip.

Hey, Sam.

Hi there, Ned.

Listen, uh, my dad told me the whole
thing.

I think what you did was great.

You do?

Yeah. Yeah, you did what you had to do.

Now they know you're not just another
yes man. You're a free thinker, a rebel.

The president will probably come running
back to you and offer you a big raise

and a promotion.

Alex, I'm not going back to Thindran.

You know, you're right.

To hell with him.

The other big multinationals will
probably be banging down your door

soon. You can just take your pick,
right?

No, I'm through with the business world.

Finished. Never again.

The ball game's over.

You can't do that, Uncle Ned.

You've got one of the best young
business minds since Henry Ford.

Since Howard Hughes.

Since... Since a lot of guys.

You're part of the new breed.

You're brash. You're sassy.

You're now.

Let's face it. You owe it to humanity to
make money.

Alex, there's a lot of information about
this that has yet to surface.

And when it does, you may not be that
thrilled with me.

What do you mean?

Alex, I'm about to tell you something
that I couldn't tell your parents.

No, I'm not.

Oh, hi, Ned. How did Jennifer's softball
game go?

Well, it was a tie game, and Jennifer
wanted to come home because it was

dark and she was getting hungry and
tired, and I really think you ought to

a talk with that kid.

up in the driveway.

Yeah, it's got a U .S. government
license plate.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Oh, son of a gun. Mallory, you're right.
Government plate.

Ned, do you know anything about this?

Me? No, nothing. Never seen the guy
before, but whoever he is is about to

your front doorbell. Well, I gotta go
get some ice cream.

Ned!

Yes, is this the Keaton residence?

Yes. Great!

That would make you Stephen Keaton,
right?

Uh, right.

Whoa! Two out of two.

Uh, what can I do for you? May I come
in?

Yeah, my name's Bert Carlisle.

I'm with your local office of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.

What's going on? Don't tell me, don't
tell me. You, you, you, you, you must be

Elise, right?

That's right.

I'm pretty good at this, aren't I?

You must be Alex and, uh, Mallory. Uh,
who's the little girl? Friend of the

family?

She's our daughter, Jennifer.

Are you sure?

I'm quite certain.

Okay. First mistake.

Heads will roll.

Jennifer.

Daughter.

How do you know so much about us? Well,
I pulled your file from the computer

this afternoon.

Say, you know, you folks have been the
talk of the office all day long.

Excuse me, Derek. Here we are.

Stephen and Elise Keaton married May
1964, participated in no fewer than 15

subversive political demonstrations
between 1966 and 1973.

Arrested three times.

See here, Mr. Carlisle, I don't know
what you want with us, but I do know my

rights. According to the Privacy Act of
1974,

I have the right to examine the FBI's
file on us.

Okay, here.

Can I have that back? before I go. It's
my only copy.

Mr. Carl, will you please tell us why
you're here? Oh, right. Listen, I'm

to bother you folks. We got a call from
the New York office this morning.

Now, it seems they're looking for a Ned
Donnelly.

He's my brother. Wait a minute, wait a
minute. He's your brother. That's good.

Anyway, we're just making a routine
check of his relatives, see if they know

where he is.

Has Ned done something illegal?

Ma 'am, the FBI doesn't go looking for
people unless they've done something

illegal. It's a new policy.

What did Uncle Ned do?

Let's see. What did Uncle Ned do? What
did Uncle Ned do?

Uncle Ned stole four and a half million
dollars.

has filed charges against him for, and I
quote, embezzlement and tampering with

corporate records and corporate funds
involving interstate transactions.

Is that good or bad?

It's bad, Jennifer.

So, um, do you folks know where we might
find him?

No,

we don't.

She's right. We haven't heard from him.

Not in months.

And we definitely didn't play baseball
together today.

Carlisle, do you really believe my
brother stole that money? I mean, he's

the type.

I'll mention that to the guys in New
York.

But to be honest with you, I think they
want to push ahead with the case anyway.

Can I have my file back? I've got to go.

Mr.

Carlisle, it...

It says here that we participated in
left -wing conspiracies to overthrow the

government. We never did that.

Don't take it so literally.

Is that the bookkeeping thing?

Let's just say, entirely for the sake of
argument, that we know where Ned is.

We don't, of course.

No. But let's say we do.

I'm just curious what would happen to us
if we didn't tell you.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Interesting, I guess.

Hypothetically speaking, that you would
be hypothetically arrested for harboring

a known criminal and hypothetically be
sent to a very real jail.

I see.

Fascinating stuff, isn't it?

have to go.

If you hear from your brother, ma 'am,
please give me a call.

Keep in mind, withholding information is
a federal offense.

Have a nice night.

Sit, Ubu, sit.

Good dog.
