All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s01e16 The Toy Wonder

Here we are, face to face, looking for
the silver spoon.

Hoping to find we're two of a kind. Make
it a call, make it a call.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together, taking the time each day.

To learn all about those things you just
can't buy.

Do the silver spoons together.

You and I together.

We're going to find our way.

You and I together.

We're going to find our way.

You and I together.

I took your suggestions, Kate.

I took deep breaths. I pictured a
peaceful setting. I kept repeating to

I will relax. I will relax. A hundred
times and nothing works.

That works.

Thank you.

Remind me to get nervous more often.

I guess I am a little too uptight about
it.

meeting Barbara Webster, but Kate, she
could be vitally important to the future

of Eddie Toys.

Really? Who's Barbara Webster?

Son, she is the foremost toy consultant
in the country, and I have a golden

opportunity to get her to come to work
for me because her contract just ran out

with Yamahoy Toys.

Oh, Yamahoy Toys are great.

They made Mr. Wiener face.

Actually, Barbara Webster has the
mightiest touch.

If she gives a toy the thumbs up, you
know it'll sell.

She gives it the thumbs down, you might
as well not even manufacture it. She's

that good.

That's probably her now.

Yeah.

Now, Rick, be kind to her. She's a giant
in the industry.

I'm Barbara Webster. Hi, Barbara. I'm...
Candy Idol Chatter. This is going to be

short and sweet.

You've got one hour and the meter's
running. I've got...

toy company?

No, I don't want to miss the
Flintstones.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm Edward Stratton, the president
of Eddie Toys. I'm pleased to meet you.

Of course you are.

Who are you?

Oh, well, I'm Kate. Never mind.

And who's this?

Oh, this is my son, Rick.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure's all mine.

to look at Ricky.

Remember our deal. I passed judgment on
three toys.

You see how I work, I see how you work.
What do you got?

First item up, we probably call the horn
hat.

Yeah, Barbara, this is for kids who like
to jog, see?

And it's not only fun, it promotes
safety, too. Now watch. Let's just say

you're jogging along and you come up
behind another jogger, okay?

You just push this.

Great toys.

Yes, here we have a unique invention
called Mr. Pogo Chair.

Rick, Rick, you want to demonstrate for
us?

Okay, son.

Now, buckle up for safety.

All set.

Sure, but what do I do?

Oh, yeah, you take a hold of these
handles.

We'll see if we can't hammer out a
contract, and if everybody agrees,

the chief consultant for Eddie Toys.

Vice president.

What do you mean, vice president? All
you've got to do... Barbara, we're going

to be going into the library, and when
we return, hopefully we will be able

to...

my horoscope today, and all it said was
avoid seafood.

picture?

You mean if I don't take you out for
pizza, you're not gonna work for my dad?

Do you like anchovies?

interesting sweatshirt.

I don't like it either.

Barbara gave it to me. She's coming over
here today.

Well, um... What's on the back of the
shirt?

Nothing. Nothing, Kate.

Oh, come on. Turn around.

It's not funny, Kate.

I know. It's just that I'm...

Will it deprive you to hit it off so
well?

Well, Barbara grows on you.

So do warts.

All right.

Derek, am I ever glad to see you?

You are?

There's something wrong, Greg.

I've been nice to you.

I said one word about that stupid
sweatshirt.

No, you haven't, and I appreciate it.

She wants to be with me every minute. I
can't stand it.

How come?

She doesn't look like she lapsed water
out of a bowl.

No, she's fine.

Oh, I get it.

The old porch light's out.

No, she's smart.

She's real smart.

Then what's her problem?

Well, for one thing, she's blackmailed.

and a great personality.

Of course, you approve of blackmail.

You're the guy that told your mom if she
didn't let you go to the Devo concert,

she'd never see a chihuahua again.

I went to the concert, didn't I?

Anyway, how's she blackmailing?

Well, my dad needs to work for his
company, and she won't sign the contract

unless I promise to be her boyfriend.

Oh, she's good.

Every day she says she'll sign the
contract, and then at the last minute

comes up with some new excuse not to,
right?

Yeah, how'd you know that?

That's the basic.

I sure wish I knew how to handle her.

You're just lucky you got me on your
side.

This must be the lowest moment of my
life.

Because I'm about to say the following
words.

Derek, what should I do?

It's obvious.

You've got to fight fire with fire.

Make her think that you really like her
and that you'll be with her forever.

She'll fall for it, sign on the dotted
line, and you can kiss her off.

That sounds awfully cool.

Well,

maybe I can just give it a try.

Sure. Clean cut on a flicking guy like
you?

Maybe you're right.

Derek, you're a genius.

You're the best friend a guy ever had.

Hey, do you mean it?

Just practicing.

That's her.

Well, I better leave you two lovebirds
alone.

Oh, Rick.

Does that cute little French cook still
work here?

Yeah. I'll be in the kitchen.

to go today?

My love.

What'd you call me?

I called you my love.

Yes, I care.

Come on.

We both know that the only reason we've
been seeing each other is because you

want me to sign that contract.

I admit it started out that way.

But last night, when we were watching
the Flintstones... Remember

when Barney hit Fred over the head with
a blackest horse bone?

He laughed.

As Fred bled.

It's no longer my own.

Fourth of July all rolled up in one.

You're a walk in the park.

You're a summer breeze.

You're the ninth Eon Pac -Man.

Hey, Rick, look at this.

It's my company's latest toy. It's
called Tommy Therapist.

Sometimes I think I'm a duck.

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Why don't you go with that feeling?

Dad, I've got a problem.

And you're sitting here telling a dog to
a duck?

Well, I'm sorry. Son, I'm all ears.
What's your problem?

Look, Dad, here's the thing.

There's a limit to what a son can do for
a father. And I'm afraid you'll just

have to understand.

Well, there's no problem. I allowed Bob
to manipulate me just because I wanted

to help you out.

I've had a chance to see how Barbara
handles herself.

And I'm not denying that she's talented.

But, you know, I want to like the people
that I work with.

So if you have a problem with Barbara,
you deal with it any way that you think

is right.

Okay?

Okay, Dad.

You know, Tommy,

Sometimes I worry about being a good
father.

Our time is up. As you leave, please pay
the receptionist.

I've got a surprise for you, Ricky.

I signed the contract.

Now I officially belong to Eddie Toys
and you.

This is the happiest day of my life.

Well, I'm afraid the day's not quite
over yet.

What do you mean?

Um, Sam, there's something I gotta tell
you.

What is it?

Remember that stuff I said before?

You know, how I was crazy about you,
Thanksgiving, walking the park?

I made some of that stuff up.

Which stuff?

How I was crazy about you, Thanksgiving,
and walking the park?

So you were lying?

Yeah, I was lying.

Why are you smiling?

Because I knew you were lying.

Oh, come on, I had you fooled.

After all, you were kissed by the
Ricker.

Ricker, you were the one who was fooled.

I had you believing that...

liked you, too.

If you didn't believe me, then why'd you
sign the contract?

Here. Take a look.

You signed with Yamahoy Toys?

Gotcha.

Barbara, you're smart. You're talented.

Why'd you have to be so scheming, so
conniving, so dishonest?

Persuaded to rip up this deal with
Yamahoi if your father upped his offer.

A summer home would be nice.

Barbara, I want to thank you.

You've taught me a lot in these last few
days.

First, I'm a lousy liar.

And second, you can't change a person
who doesn't want to change.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about the
contract?

Well, I've talked to my dad, and he said
I can negotiate on his behalf.

So I'm prepared to make one final offer.

Well, let's hear it.

Sayonara.

We're going to find our way.

Together, taking the time to stay.

To learn all about those things you just
can't.
