Here we are, face to face, a couple of silver spoons.

Open to find, ritual of a kind.

Make it a call, make it a call. Together,

we're gonna find our way.

Together,

taking the time each day.

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

Two, two, two fools together.

You and me.

Toy convention's gonna be a milestone for Eddie Toys.

Thank you, Jenkins.

I'll bet you we'll be flooded with offers for our new walking banana.

Yeah, I predict six months from now, the entire country will say, it's stupid,

but I want one.

Have you heard our new jingle?

We got a banana that's really cute.

Everybody wants this jogging fruit.

From coast to coast, from Texas to Montana. Montana, this perambulating

is America's top banana.

Nice beat and easier to dance to.

I give it a zero.

Well, now that you're here, Father, we can hit the trail. Now, listen, if you

have any problems at all with Ricky, I left the number of the hotel we're going

to be staying at on the refrigerator under the cookie magnet.

I manage 55 corporations.

I can handle one adolescent.

Hi, Grandfather.

Richard, aren't you going to introduce us?

Oh, yeah. This is Derek.

It is a rare honor to meet you, sir.

You are a most degust personage.

I'm humbled.

Let go my hand.

Edward, we better get going. Yeah, we gotta run.

Son, we'll call you as soon as we get to Chicago, okay? All right, love ya. I

love you.

Goodbye, Father.

Goodbye, Rick.

Miss Summers, I do not bite.

Of course not.

Miss Summers?

Chicago may be the Windy City, but when you arrive, it will be breathless.

or something?

Bonne mort, Richard.

Fortunately, my calendar is free this afternoon.

Hence, I have the opportunity to stay and soak up this man's greatness.

Young man, others may be fooled by your obsequious comments and

angelic appearance.

To me, you are as transparent as saran wrap.

And drive major race cars.

Now that's hot.

It's mildly tepid.

Not as sitting behind the wheel of a real full -size racing car.

You've driven a real race car?

Indeed I have. I was land speed champion of the country.

In fact, actually, for a time there...

Oh, no, you're below the age limit.

It's illegal.

Not if you drive on our property.

It's not illegal then.

Nevertheless, it's not a prudent thing to do.

Please, I... It would mean a lot for me to be able to say, I learned from

Lightning Bolt Stratton himself.

That would indeed be a privilege.

Then you'll teach me?

What the heck?

David is outside, and I know my dad keeps the keys.

You step on the starter, and I'll crank.

Okay.

You're kidding, right?

Check. All right, lad.

Start your engine.

Now, turn it to reverse and ease down on the accelerator.

Sorry, Grandfather.

I thought it was a reverse. I really did, honest.

Well, let's put it this way.

Yeah? You weren't.

If my dad sees this, we're going to be dead meat.

We're not dead meat.

By the time your father gets back, that Mercedes will be back in the garage as

good as new, and that wall will be a wall again. Hey, hand me that duck.

The automobile club.

Hello. Yeah. I want you to send a tow truck right... 1211 Pierce Avenue.

Yeah. The car's in the library.

little trouble there.

We dealt with it calmly.

Now we're home free.

Ricky, father!

Also, we're dead meat.

We got four blocks.

We heard on the radio that it was snowing in Chicago and they've closed O

Airport. So we turned around and drove back just in time to see three men

leaving the limo with its tires.

I've got a feeling this just isn't my day.

Well, we're home now.

Thank goodness everything's back to normal.

go listen to some nice, soothing music.

That's a good idea.

Problem?

Uh... Edward, why don't you just sit there and you tell us your favorite

and then Richard and I will hum it for you.

Richard? Oh, I love it.

You like Beethoven?

Yeah.

Kate,

there's something fishy going on here.

You got that feeling, too?

For some reason, those two don't want us to go in that room.

I want you to know something, Dad.

I love you.

Me too.

Thanks, guys, for that unsolicited, spontaneous...

birth of warmth.

How did this happen?

Uh... You won't believe this.

We were trying to find a shortcut to the living room.

Father, why did you try to drive?

For the last 25 years, you've had a chauffeur.

Yeah, but I've been watching him very carefully.

This catastrophe would not have occurred if that wall had been thicker.

Hold it.

Grandfather, I can't let you take the rap for this.

Dad, he wasn't driving the car.

I was.

You did this?

With my help.

I taught him to drive.

Rick, I would like to have a private chat with your grandfather.

Okay.

I'll be in the other room.

never fails.

I would not resort to such tricks.

You know something, Father?

I've been waiting for this moment all my life.

What are you talking about?

Many's the time I've stood before you and waited for you to lower the boom on

me.

Well, now the tables have turned.

dangerous to let that boy drive that car.

That's right.

Second of all... I should have checked with you first.

That's right.

And third, and most important of all... I've always said that you were too

lenient with Richard.

Now suddenly I turn around and I'm unforgivably overindulgent.

right to be angry with me, lower the boom.

You said everything.

Am I excused?

Yes.

Sorry I had to be so rough.

Something I don't understand.

It was very nice of you to decide to try to teach Ricky to drive.

But when I was his age, I asked you to teach me, and you said, no, no, you'll

have to wait until you reach the legal age limit.

And then when I did, you hired somebody to teach me to drive.

Sure, it was A .J. Foyt.

But I sure would have preferred you.

Father.

Why would you do for Rick what you wouldn't do for me?

Edward, let me explain something.

All the time you were growing up, I was afraid of spoiling you.

Now that I'm Richard's grandfather, I would give him everything I have.

You see, fathers have to say no.

Grandfathers get to say yes.

You know, I remember when Grandpa Eddie would come to our house to have dinner.

And as usual, you'd say to me, there will be no dessert until

you eat your vegetable.

And then when you weren't looking, Grandpa Eddie would eat my Brussels

for me.

In spite of all my best efforts, I am mellowing.

We should spend more time together.

We should hang out.

I'd like that.

Why don't we start by having dinner together?

And when Richard's not looking, I'll eat your Brussels sprouts.

Where are Ricky and my father?

I think they're outside, admiring the repair job on your Mercedes.

I'll check.

Richard, this car looks as good as new.

Yeah. Let's celebrate by going to get a hot foot Sunday.

Excellent idea.

However, this time I will drive.

You bet.

I thought I was in reverse.

Look at it this way.

Yes.

You were.
