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, baby, without us?

And there ain't no nothing we can't love
each other through.

What would we do, baby, without us?

Okay, kids, I've got to get going. Say
goodbye to the old man. Okay, Dad,

listen, have a safe trip, okay? And give
our love to Mom. Yeah, and Grandma,

too. Daddy, do you really have to go?

Well, it's just for a few days, Jim.

Yeah, even so, Dad. I mean, it's just
not the same without you guys around

Yeah, we really miss you when you're not
here. Yeah, we love you. Thank you,

kids. That's very sweet.

Where's my suitcase?

Oh, it's in the car. The motor's
running.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

Look, Grandma and I, or your mother and
I will be back on Sunday.

Grandma's number is on the kitchen
counter. Alex, I'm leaving you in

Dad, don't worry. I'll rule with a firm
but loving hand. Okay.

Listen, have fun. If you need anything,
give us a call. Sure.

Bye. Bye.

Bye -bye.

Well, y 'all heard Dad.

I'm in charge.

Monica Dillon is going to be here in an
hour. And the two of you, Don't fit into

our plans.

Well, where are we supposed to go?

Go to the mall. I can go anywhere.

But Mallory's not allowed to use the
car, Alex, remember?

She's being punished for using it when
she wasn't supposed to last week.

I'm in charge, and your punishment's
suspended.

Thanks.

Jennifer, you go with her, okay? But I
don't want to go to the mall.

Go to the moon.

I don't care.

Just don't be here when Monica gets
here.

Look, I can take you to Chrissy's house,
Jen. I'm not allowed to go over to

Chrissy's house. I'm being punished for
goofing off with her at school.

Your punishment's suspended, too.

You know, Alex, I like having you in
charge.

Yeah, me too.

Thanks. Now, get lost.

Try and be back for school on Monday.

Oh, hiya. Hey, Skip. Listen, guy, I... I
don't think this is a good time for one

of our little chats, okay?

Is Monica Dillon coming over?

You got it. Okay.

Hey, I gotta speak to Mallory before I
go. I got us a couple of tickets to the

NCAA chess semifinals.

I want to invite her.

Well, Skip, she just left. Although, if
you hurry, you may be able to catch her.

You know, it usually takes her 20
minutes to back out of the driveway.

Oh, uh, hey, Mallory!

It's me!

It's Skippy!

Do you want to go?

I think she's considering it.

Um, you know that telephone pole out
there?

Yeah.

It smashed into our car.

I'll check for damage.

Oh, the car.

Oh, the car. Dad's car. Mallory, how
could you do that?

You're no... You're not supposed to be
driving.

You're being punished.

What are we going to do, Alex? We have
to get that fixed before Dad gets back.

How are we going to pay for that? I
don't know. I don't know. There's got to

$300 damage to that car.

I don't know where we're going to come
up with that kind of money.

Good news.

The telephone pole's okay.

We've got a little problem here.

Maybe you could come back another time.

Well, I don't know where I'm gonna go. I
can't go home.

Why not?

It's jammed with people. My whole
family's here for the big Leland

game. They're making me sleep in the
garage.

You guys don't want to rent me a room,
huh?

Not while I'm alive.

Skippy, why aren't your relatives
staying in a hotel?

Because there isn't one available room
between here and the state line.

Yes, there is.

Alex, no.

If there really is a shortage of rooms,
it seems to me that somebody who had a

room to rent out this weekend could
really make a killing.

Or at least enough to buy a new fender,
if you get my drift.

Alex, no.

Oh, Alex has a point. There's a lot of
money to be made.

My dad's charging his cousins $45 a
night.

But, Alex, it's wrong.

Of course it's wrong, Mallory.

75 a night is right.

Come on, Alex, it's wrong, and I'm
telling you, you can't do it. I mean,

Mom and Dad find out?

What if Mom and Dad see the piece of
modern art you turned their car into?

Do it.

Okay, the ad is in the paper. What's her
state of readiness, Skipper? All

systems are go, Chief. The baby's room
is in a state of racial preparedness.

This feels weird to me, running out of
room in our own house.

Well, Jen, don't think of it as renting.

All we're doing is letting strangers use
a room in our home.

For money.

You know what I think?

Don't ask the impossible, Mallory.

Alex, I think that Mom and Dad would not
approve of this.

Oh, come on, Mallory. You underestimate
our parents.

They are thoughtful, generous people.

And I think they'd be thrilled to know
we were using their home to shelter

travelers.

You mean we're going to tell them?

What, are you crazy?

Hi, we've come about the room.

Come right in, come right in.

Pleased to meet you, Jack Driscoll,
Leland 81, and this is my wife, Darlene.

Leland 82.

Pleased to meet you, Alex B. Keaton,
Leland 88.

And this is Skippy Hanneman, Harding
High 86.

And this is Mr. Mallory, Harding High
86.

God willing.

And my little sister Jennifer, Randolph
Elementary, 88.

What a bunch of smarties we are.

We were so happy to see your ad. You
know, you can't get a room in this

town. Do tell.

Well, I'll get that.

Skippy, why don't you show the Driscolls
the room? Happy to, Alex. Right this

way, Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll.

And may I say that I hope your stay here
is a pleasant one.

If you stay.

Don't tell me it's rented or I'll kill
myself right on the doorstep.

Well, no, it's not rented yet, although
there's a couple looking at it right

now. Fine, we'll take it.

But you haven't even seen the room.

We'll take it.

Are we there yet, Mommy?

Yes, sweetheart, we're here. These nice
people are going to let us stay with

them.

This is it, Mom.

This is where we're gonna stay.

Yes, Dougie, this is it. I don't like
the lobby.

Well, the room's perfect. We'll take it.
I love the bassinet. Great.

Well, we aim to please.

I believe the ad said 75 a night. Right.
Wait a minute. We want that room. I'll

give you 80.

80?

80? Fine.

Sorry, sir, that's not the way I do
business.

Now, you offend me.

The Driscolls were here first, and they
should get the room.

Make it 90. I'm not as offended anymore.

Do something, Jack. I'm not going to
sleep in the car again. We slept in the

last year for homecoming. I still have
ashtray marks on my neck.

95. 96.

97. 98.

98. 50. 95.

I mean, there's lots of rooms in this
place. Please, look, there's only one

for rent. The others are occupied.

Little girl, do you have a room?

Yes. I'll give you a hundred bucks for
it. You got it.

I have a room.

All the guests asleep?

Yeah, I just tucked in the Driscoll
family.

This is fantastic.

I never had so much fun in my life.

Why don't we do this more often?

Alex, does he have to sleep in here?
Mallory, look, he's an employee of

Manor.

He's entitled to sleep in the living
room with the rest of us.

Ah, whose sleeping bag is that?

Mine. Ah, looks comfy.

You're a real gentleman, Alex.

Jennifer, he's the boss.

It's important that he's well -rested.

You know, Alex, I really didn't think
this was going to work out, but so far

it's been okay.

Okay? Jennifer, I think it's a little
better than okay.

The car is being fixed.

We have enough money to pay for it, and
we've got a little money left over for

ourselves.

How much left over?

Don't you worry your pretty little head
about it, Mallory.

Let Alex handle all the big old nasty
financial details.

I want some

French toast.

The kitchen is closed.

Well, open it. I want some French toast.

You can have some French toast for
breakfast.

I want it now.

Douglas Barker, you get up these stairs
this instant. You have had enough to eat

tonight. I did not. I still have space.

Dougie!

Now, dear.

Okay. But there better be French toast
here in the morning.

We've come about the room.

Alex, no.

We'd like one with an ocean view,
please.

We're all booked up, Alex.

Yeah, like she said, we are completely
booked. In fact, we're overbooked. I

mean, I couldn't rent you a room, you
know, even if I had one. We're desperate

and we're wealthy.

That's my favorite combination.

Welcome to King Manor. Thank you. Whoa,
hey, wait a minute.

Hold on.

Hang on.

Let's get the sheets from all the beds.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got everyone.

Some of the guests didn't want to get
out of bed, but I made them.

Good boy.

Can I help you?

Yeah, can I get a massage?

I'm sorry, but the spa is closed.

I want a massage.

I'm sorry, but the... I want a massage!

All right, okay, come here.

There you go, get out of here.

That's a lot better.

Thanks. Get yourself a little something.

room service over two hours ago. Right,
sir. Sir, you are... The Barkers, room

201.

Yes, sir.

We'll get that up there right away.

Don't forget, I want the crust cut off
the toast.

Right, well, that's what's taking so
long.

Oh, well, sir.

Front! Front!

What is it now, Al? Alex, what is the
problem with the Barker's totals?

Alex, forget it, okay? I'm tired of
making sandwiches. I'm tired of doing

people's laundry. I'm tired of making
their little beds.

Now, we have enough money for the car.
Let's just send everyone home and close

up.

How can you say that?

You know, we hotel operators have a
certain code of ethics.

You know, you can't just throw people
out into the street.

Alex, that's...

Take that shower today.

I just locked the door. There's no more
bathroom for these people.

No more bathroom for these people?

That's hardly a motto for a hotel,
Jennifer.

This is not a hotel, Alex. This is a
house.

I'm with you, Jennifer.

Okay, look, listen to me.

Let's just get these people off to the
game, okay? Then we can sit in peace and

we can talk about this.

Okay, all right.

All right.

Okay, attention, attention, please. This
is the bus that will take you to the

game. Now, if you'll form an orderly
line... My

feet

are killing me.

Your feet, my back, and my neck.

Right now, let's just relax and enjoy
the peace.

more guests, please, Alex?

Hello, Keaton Manor.

Dad.

I meant in a manner of speaking.

Hello.

Keaton.

You're where?

You're what? You're coming home now?

No, no, no, no, no, no. No, I'm fine.

No, I'm just excited.

Yeah, we're all excited.

Boy, this is exciting.

Okay, Dad.

We'll see you soon.

What? Alex's dad's coming home?

Yeah, he had to cut his trip short to
some kind of strike at the station.

Anyway, he's going to be here in a
couple of hours.

Oh, that's good.

We could use an extra hand around here.

Oh, come on, Skip. Is that all you can
carry?

How'd you get the bags packed so fast?

Well, I took the clothes out of the
drawers and stuffed them into the

How'd you know which clothes went in
which bags?

Was that important?

Look, we can't worry about that now. We
gotta get the rest of these bags packed

and get these people out of here as fast
as we can.

We won!

Oh, great!

Sit down and tell us every detail of the
game.

Oh, uh, no. I mean, grab your bags and
get the hell out of here.

and we're forced to evacuate the hotel.
What's wrong?

Well, the building is condemned.

Did you hear that?

Making that up, Skippy.

Oh, no, no.

Darlene and I want to stay.

This old hotel means a lot to us.

Look, Skippy, go get the rest of the
bag. Jennifer, you go help him.

We want...

I am so pooped I'm not moving for the
next two days. Ah, that's what you

I hope you don't mind. I invited a few
people.

angry dad was i've never seen him like
that he didn't seem that angry oh come

he was beyond angry jennifer he had that
that look you know we can't quite get

the words out and he just goes here it
comes

hey dad how's it going

Dad'll ever like us again.

Of course he will, Jen.

It's gonna take a little time.

20, 30 years.

He'll come around.

I'd hate for his last words to me to
be...

Hey,

Dad, come on, stop. Look, at least slow
down, okay?

Look, do you, uh...

You plan on being mad at us for the rest
of your life?

That is my plan.

But, Dad, we're your flesh and blood.

Yeah, yeah, Dad.

Remember how cute we were when we were
babies?

Yeah, well, I'm still a baby, Dad.

Will you read me a book, Daddy?

Yeah, Daddy, read us all a book.

Come on, Dad, don't go away.

You always said that we should talk
about these things.

Alex, parents are conditioned to accept
a few

minor problems when they leave their
children alone at home.

Spilled milk on the rug.

Broken dish.

There was a kangaroo.

In my living room.

He was just here for the party, Dad.

And I guess I'm overreacting.

Dad, if you just give us a chance, we
can explain everything.

Well, can you?

Can you explain the valet parking in the
driveway?

The flashing vacancy sign in front of
the house?

The billboard on Route 41?

Look, Dad, I just lost my head, you
know?

When the money started rolling in, I got
out of control.

I could smell it. I could taste it.

I could hear it calling me at night
saying, Alex, at last we'll be together.

Dad, I guess you could just say that I
kind of became a moneyholic.

Dad, I need help.

Dad, I guess most of this was my fault.
I mean, I shouldn't have been driving

the car at night without your
permission.

And Alex and Jennifer were just trying
to help pay for the car damage.

They're really not to blame.

Well, I guess it's my fault, too. I
shouldn't have asked Mallory to take me

to Chrissy's house when I wasn't
supposed to go.

Dad, you left me in charge, and I let
you down in every possible way.

I was immature, I was irresponsible, and
I was greedy.

Sorry He's coming around

Sit, Ubu, sit.

Good dog.
