Carlos looked longingly into her deep blue eye, wondering what mystery lay

behind them.

Noticing her figure, he didn't care.

Oh,

I

see you've been waiting for me, my page.

What do you want to see?

You have a twin?

No.

I'm going to be out of town for a week. And I know how much you'll miss me, so I

brought you this.

What is it?

That revolutionary Uncle Bert's home reality helmet. Patent pending.

How nice. Bye.

And all you do is place this baby on your nifty noggin, and it'll be like I

never lived.

Oh, well, gee, thanks, Steve. Whenever I miss you, I'll be sure to use it.

You poor thing.

A week without me will seem like a... Like a... Vacation?

No. You're so strong.

So long, sweetums.

Hey, a desert island!

Wow!

Surprise!

Steve, what are you doing here?

We're church together on a desert island, my pet.

Let's celebrate our bliss with a big, juicy cake.

It's a rare condition this day and age to read any good news on the newspaper

page. And love and tradition of the grand design, some people say, is even

harder to find.

Well, then there must be some magic clue inside these gentle walls.

Because all I see is a tower of dreams.

love it too, but $300 is a lot of money.

$300?

I didn't pay that much for Harriet's engagement ring.

I paid more.

So you think I spent too much?

Oh, no, Aunt Rachel.

After all, you only go around once in life.

And you already passed halfway.

Give yourself a break.

You have the right to pamper yourself.

So you really think I ought to keep it? Absolutely.

And it's going to look great on me when I borrow it.

Yeah, it will.

But you'll never leave the house.

The kiddie falls outside.

Oh, that's pretty clever, Ricky, for a third -year senior.

Leave the nerd alone.

Okay, men.

Welcome to Swim Class 101.

I'm your teacher, Mr.

Nutting. That's two Ts, like in pudding.

You can't swim?

I could just say it a little louder. I don't think they heard you in Wyoming.

Take that off. You sound ridiculous.

All right, all right.

Isn't that better?

Look, don't worry.

I am going to teach you how to swim.

Get in the water.

Maybe, just maybe you could float.

is a requirement for graduation, and if you don't pass the swim part of the

class, you can't graduate.

But I'll never learn how to swim.

Then I guess you'll never graduate.

Mom,

Mom, I made the rollerblade hockey team.

Yeah, and it's the meanest, roughest, toughest team in the league.

Which team? The Guppies.

That is wonderful, sweetie.

I need $150.

Richie needs a helmet, pads, a jersey, and a new hockey stick.

Oh, sweetie, I'm not sure I can afford all that.

Oh.

Hey, don't you worry about it. Mommy will find a way. You will get that

equipment. Thanks, Mom. You're the best. Oh, so are you, my sweet.

Well, guess it's back to the store for you.

Congratulations, Mr. My Man.

You'll make a great guppy.

Well, I better get going. It's about the time of day when Waldo locks himself

out of the apartment.

Steve, what is it?

Why won't you pass?

Well, I can't swim.

Oh. That is a problem.

No,

no. You're not going to ask me to... I want you to teach me... Oh, you asked

Steve,

why don't you ask your dad?

Well, wait.

The only time my dad lets me in the water is when we go shark fishing.

I'm sorry, Steve, but I'm just too busy. with work, home, and all the other

places I have to go.

I see.

You do realize, of course, that if I don't graduate, I won't go away

to MIT.

And if I don't go away to MIT, then I

stay here with my...

There's no shame in feeling fear.

But you've got to face that fear.

You've got to look at...

with the freestyle stroke?

Oh, yes. The freestyle's beginnings go back thousands of years.

An ancient Egyptian wall relief shows soldiers of Ramses II using an over -the

-arms stroke to pursue their enemies across the Bronte River more than 3 ,000

years ago.

See, I know about it. I just can't do it.

In the freestyle, you use your arms, your legs, and your feet to propel

through the water.

To inhale, you turn your head to the side.

and you exhale underwater.

Okay, now you try.

problem with this one. Have a nice day.

Hi, Harriet.

Hi, Richard.

What are you doing here?

Oh, the dress was too expensive.

I have to bring it back so I can get hockey equipment for Richie.

Oh, that's too bad.

That dress looks great on you.

Yeah.

Oops. Wait a minute. Okay,

careful. Here.

There we go.

Okay.

Well,

maybe I'll look out and it'll go on sale soon.

Wait a minute.

Rachel, I can't take this dress back. It's torn.

Harriet,

you must have done that when you caught it in that zipper.

No way. It wouldn't have caused a tear that big.

And that's not where it got caught.

Well, I didn't do it.

Well, the tear didn't get there by itself.

Oh, Harriet, this is ridiculous.

I want my money back right now.

Rachel, my decision is final.

What is going on? I will tell you what is going on. She won't take my dress

back. She thinks I damaged it on purpose so I could get my money back.

it, Richie?

I ripped the dress.

You what?

I was playing hockey in the living room and I accidentally hit it with my stick.

Honey, you should have told me that.

I was going to right after I graduated high school.

Sorry.

I think someone else owes someone an apology.

I shouldn't have accused you of trying to cheat the store out of money.

And I'm sorry I buried your favorite person.

You what?

Where's Penny?

I'll draw your mask.

Okay. Mom!

Hey, how's the swimming going?

Swimming?

It's more like choreographed thinking.

get a good job, and I end up selling my car for cheese.

Congratulations, Steve.

Honey, you were great.

I smell a conspiracy.

Well, Steve, I had to think of some way for you to forget your fear of water and

go with your gut instincts.

Well, now I'll graduate because of my beautiful gal and my big

boss pal.

Thank you both from the bottom of my little purple heart.
