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?

Sha la la la.

When you take to Mexico, it's for my
school.

Ah, that sounds good. How much are they?

Two dollars.

Yikes, two dollars.

Wow, two dollars. I don't know if I can
swing that.

Let's see.

Boy, it's really fat. You must be...

See

that? See what happens?

Just a minute.

Want to trip to Mexico?

Sure. If I sell more than the other,
because I get a bike.

Oh, well, in that case, Andy, I'll take
three. I'll take three also.

I actually took one, and that was a
struggle.

Hey, gang.

Hi. Do you think I should wear one of
these to my high school reunion?

I wore this to my graduation party, and
this one to my prom.

Oh, Mom, I love these. I love antique
dresses.

Excuse me?

Hey, Mom, come on. You don't honestly
think you're going to fit into either of

those, do you?

Mom, what I mean is they look too big
for you.

You must have been beefy in high school.

What are you going to wear, Dad?

Whichever one your mother doesn't want.

Well, cut it out, Steven. He's just
grumpy because he has to go to the

This is so exciting, Mom. Your high
school reunion. I bet all your old

boyfriends are going to be there.

have many dates. I was just waiting for
my Prince Charming to come around.

Did he?

Oh, Dad, right.

Come on, Elise, you were the most
popular girl in your high school.

You had millions of dates. Not really.

What about this Roger Erdman guy, huh?
He's been calling all week. He insisted

on coming over to see you today.

Eggie, Erdman, please.

He was my next -door neighbor.

Roger Erdman.

Roger Erdman of Erdman Enterprises?

That's the one.

Well, that man is a genius.

His computer software company grossed
$75 million last year. So what?

I can't believe you knew Roger Erdman
and you didn't tell me the things you

from me. Who else do you know?

Lee Iacocca?

No, I'm just asking.

What was he like?

I have a sweet, awkward guy. He had the
locker next to mine. He could not close

that locker without catching some part
of his body in it.

He was a strange character.

He was really a nerd.

Hello.

I know the type.

Do you guys mind if I hang out here for
a while? It's kind of lonely at my

house. Where are your parents?

They went away for the weekend on a
skiing trip.

What about your girlfriend?

She went with them.

Oh, my.

Eggie! Alicia!

He's a little nerdy, isn't he?

So there I was in school, walking down
the halls, you know, carrying my books.

always had a ton of books with me
because I had a lot of trouble opening

locker.

Closing it was no picnic either.

I should have had one of those shopping
carts, but I wanted to be cool.

That is cool.

I'm getting rid of my shopping cart.

You remind me of someone.

Anyway, I was a real bully magnet at
school. You know, a target for book

dumping. Even the school nurse would get
in a shot now and again.

But I can always count on good old Lisey
to help me out, to protect me.

to tell me to stand up for myself.

Do you remember Vinnie D 'Agostino?
Yeah, he was tough.

I remember once he held your head
underwater at the public pool.

Yes, he did, and it was uncalled for
considering he was the lifeguard.

Mr. Erdman, Mr.

Erdman, may I ask you a question?

Certainly, but please call me Aggie.

I prefer not to, sir. I don't think
that's suitable for someone of your

in the business community.

I could call you Mr.

Aggie.

Fine, that's what my mom calls me.

I'm intrigued by your wealth.

Where did it come from? How did you get
it?

Will you share it with me?

Alex, I'll be honest with you. I never
dreamed I'd have this much money.

You know?

As a matter of fact, when I was a kid, I
was actually a bit of a nerd.

Well, anyway, it would have been
miserable if it weren't for Elise

most popular girl in the school, and she
was my friend.

You want to buy a raffle ticket?

Oh, sure.

How much are they? Two dollars.

Oh, two dollars.

All right, I'll take one.

Just one?

Alex said you were loaded.

He's confused.

He's confused. What I said was that you
may be quite well off.

He said 75 million, not counting what
he's probably hiding from the IRS.

Things that come out of this kid's
mouth. I'm telling you.

So I just used to stay up in my room and
make up all these imaginary games and

puzzles and tricks, and they became the
nucleus of my legematic computer

software system.

Ah, uh -huh.

Getting back to your wealth.

Alex, come on, I've described it to you
in every way possible. It's large, it's

paper, it's green. Let's greet it now.

money all right can i ask you a question
yeah i don't know

um do you ever do you ever just kind of
lay it out and roll around in it

i bathe in it alex please i don't want
to talk about money

all right okay all right all right all
right um this uh this this

is not about money That's a giant
breakthrough in our relationship.

This is about life.

Go ahead.

Will you adopt me?

Come on, Alex. You have a full,
complete, loving family here.

Yeah, yes.

I think I've gotten everything I can out
of this situation.

Let's run away together.

Look, you may not want to hear this, but
money is not all that it's cracked up

to be. See, it is not a short ticket to
happiness.

All you guys with money say that.

And then you go home to your mansions
and you laugh hysterically.

I want to be with you guys.

I want to laugh with you.

So ready to be rich.

You have no idea. No, I have a good
sense of it.

I'll tell you what, why don't I just
give you a couple of million, we'll call

even.

I love you.

You knew him before Dad, and yet you...
Why am I torturing myself?

You have a beautiful family there,
Elise.

Stephen, Andrew, the girls, young Mr.

Scrooge.

Thank you.

Boy, I can't believe that you're
actually here in my house.

Look at you. You look so grown up. Your
hair is combed. Your shoes are actually

on the right feet.

Yes, that's one of the advantages of
being rich.

I hired a man who takes care of that
before I leave the house.

He's very good.

I'm so happy for you, for everything
that's happened, for all the success

achieved.

I always told you you could do it,
didn't I?

Yes, you did, Alicia.

You were the only one.

So are you proud of your little eggy?

You bet.

My God, Elise, you're more beautiful
than I remember.

Ah, you say that to all the girls. There
are no other girls. It's only you.

Oh, eggy.

Do you remember we did our act on a
talent night of the senior follies?

Remember we wore those matching outfits?

God, those were beautiful dresses.

You had to run in your stocking.

That night is so clear to me.

It was in the gymnasium, the lights went
down, and the announcer got up and

said, Attention seniors, and now the
Salt Sandusky High School Entertainment

Committee proudly presents Elise
Donnelly and

Roger, is this thing on? I don't think
it's on.

Erdman, the doo -wop twins, with the
rock and roll rendition

of Dream Lover.

We were so good that night. Good. We
were incredible.

Remember the hand we got?

I remember a couple people booed. Well,
my parents never liked that sort of

thing.

Then we rushed off into the wings and
you kissed me.

No. Did I?

Yeah. Right here.

For a long time I was thinking of having
it framed.

It was such fun.

Let's do it again.

We've got to do it again. I've been
practicing.

Let's do it again.

Please pass.

I was taking a bath for the bonus
Saturday night.

Oh, just... We did it. It's over.

I mean, come on. We're not in high
school anymore. You've got to grow up.

Oh, don't look at me like that, Eggie.

You don't think I've grown up, Felice?

I didn't mean anything by it.

You're sorry I came, though. No, I...

you. It's just that it's 25 years later
and I don't feel like splashing with

you. That's all.

You say that to a doo -wop twin?

You have changed, boy.

Let's drop it, okay? Let me make you
peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a

egg for dessert. You've always loved
that.

No, thanks. I've eaten.

And if you haven't noticed, Elise
Donnelly, I have grown up.

I'm not the same eggy you knew.

I'm a new, improved Eggie.

One that won't be bothering you with
silly little memories of a time you'd

evidently rather forget.

As far as I'm concerned, high school
never existed.

See you at the reunion!

I can't believe

I feel so nervous about this.

What if no one remembers me?

How do you think I feel? There's no
chance anyone's going to remember me.

I'm just afraid someone will remember me
and lock me in the girl's bathroom.

I'm going to go sign in here.

Excuse me. Hi, I... Elise Donnelly. I
can't believe it. You look exactly the

same. Bob Dunphy. Bob, hi.

Hi. Hi, Elise. Norma Coleman. I was
hoping you'd show up. It's great to see

guys.

Roger Erdman.

Aggie? No, it can't be. Your shoes are
on the right feet.

And this is... Yeah, we know who this
is.

Danny Wasserstein.

No, I'm Stephen Keaton. Nah, get out of
here. You're Danny Wasserstein, glass

cloud.

I'm Stephen Keaton, Elise's husband.

Yeah, sure, and I'm Ethel Merman.

Remember me? The prom?

After the prom?

Danny Wasserstein.

Sorry about holding you underwater in
the community pool that time.

No problem, Vinnie. I was asking for it.

Sitting on a beach chair, reading the
Bible.

Welcome back, South Sandusky Class of
63.

And now it's time to meet our class
celebrities.

Now, whatever became of Mr.

Most Athletic, Wally Carello. And

whatever

happened to Mr.

Class Clown, he's a panic crazy Danny.

this lady's out here.

Where is Miss Homecoming Queen, captain
of the cheerleaders, captain of the swim

team, captain of the wrestling team,
Miss Elise Donnelly?

And the guy voted least likely to
succeed, who's probably more successful

anybody in this room, who I'd like to
talk to afterwards about an auto center

I'd like to purchase.

There is Roger Eggie Erdman.

Hold on.

You know, I'm wondering, is there
anybody out there who remembers a group

the Doo -Wop Twins?

Do you remember what they did for us
during Senior Follies?

I was thinking about.

No, Skippy, I'm not your little burrito.
Oh, come on, Mal. Why don't you just

wing up to sunny Mexico with me?

Mexico's not up, Skippy.

Where is it, down?

It's out there somewhere.

Well, I don't care as long as you know
where it is.

Buenos dias, my little burrito.

Buenos dias to you, my young and
faithful enchilada.

Skippy won the raffle at Andy's school.

told me I was going to win that.

I tell everybody that.

Bandito.

Hi, gang.

Hey, how did it go?

Not that great.

I was a big hit, but your mother and
Eggie had a little run in.

Mom, how could you? The man is a
millionaire.

Maybe a trip to Mexico would make you
feel better.

I don't know. I'm not in the mood.

Honey, I think we'll all be in the other
room.

How about you, Mr. Keaton? Would you
like to go to Mexico with me? Which

is it?

Whatever she did.

She didn't mean it.

Forgive me, Elise.

When I saw you, it brought everything
back. I was 16 again, and so were you.

Thank you. It's brought this all back to
me.

You know, growing up together, the old
neighborhood, your old apartment on

Steuben Avenue.

6706 Steuben Avenue.

Apartment 4A.

I used to wait for you at the bus stop
to come back from cheerleading practice.

Remember, I used to carry your pom
-poms.

And sometimes the guys would whistle at
me.

And sometimes I'd whistle back.

And then we got home, we'd practice the
cheers together. You remember?

Remember? S -A -N -D. Please don't do
the whole thing.

Usky.

I'm sorry.

I was way, way out of line. I got crazy.

I had no business doing what I did. No
business.

I'm a married woman.

How serious is it?

Danny Wasserstein and I are very much in
love.

I know.

Of course I do, and I'm very happy about
it. Really, I am. It's what you

deserve. Oh, Iggy.

It's just that I thought about you all
these years, and every time I dreamt,

About the moment we'd meet, it always
ended in a kiss.

You know, I thought about you, too, and
the moment that we would meet, and it

always ended in a minor injury.

You thought about me? Really?

Oh, yeah, sure.

I love that.

See, when I think about you, I think
that all my success and the great things

that have happened to me have a lot to
do with you.

You're having believed in Eggie.

Meant the world to me.

You weren't hard to believe in. You were
a good friend.

You definitely seriously married.

That's what I always loved about you.
You could always make me laugh.

You could always bring out the silly
side in me.

I could bring out the silly side in
Attila the Hun.

You know how when I was a little kid I
used to always take myself a little too

seriously.

I could never have done splish splash
with anyone but you.

You taught me it was okay to be silly,
that it could be fun.

I've carried that throughout my whole
life.

It helps when you have four kids.

So there's still a little eggy left in
your life, huh?

There is.

That's good.

I like that.

So you made me believe in myself, and I
made you silly.

It's a fair trade, believe me.

It was great to see you, Lucy.

It's great to see you, too.

This one

I'm definitely

framing.

Sit, Ubu, sit.

Good dog.
