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

Hoping to find, we're two of a kind.

Make it a call, make it a call. Together, we're gonna find our

way.

Together,

taking the time each day.

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

To build the schools together.

that, okay?

But right now, it's time for you to go out and get in a coat and tie, because I

think your mom's about to pick you up.

Aw, tie.

Rick, your mother's taking you to Bernard's by the Bay, and they have a

retirement requirement.

I don't like Bernard's by the Bay, Dad.

Fourteen bucks for a hamburger, and it doesn't even come with a bun.

And last time I was there, I asked the waiter for some ketchup, and he looked

me like I just shot his dog.

Well, you see, son, your mother is philosophically opposed to eating at any

place that doesn't have valet parking.

You've got to get a move on.

Okay. But maybe while I'm with Mom next week, you can think some more about the

one, the only, the most amazing motocross trail in the Stratton

Humongous! Incredible!

Awesome!

He's such an energetic boy. Yeah.

He's at that carefree, fun -loving, fragile age.

Does the use of the word fragile here indicate an attitude?

No, an opinion.

And in my opinion, motorcycles are very dangerous.

I agree on the streets, Kate. We're going to be using them off the highway

the country.

Yeah, but they're still dangerous.

When I was 14, my cousin was riding his dirt bike through the woods.

He hit a log, flew off his cycle, and broke his neck.

He was paralyzed for life.

I know what colors I want my motorcycle to be.

Candy apple red with a white racing stripe.

Son, your tie's the wrong length.

It's the same way all the time. It gets boring.

Yeah, well, your mother's a stickler for tradition. Here.

You know what would be great?

If our motorcycles matched.

So why don't you get a white one with a red racing stripe?

Well, son, I'd... What do you think, Kate?

I think I'd better not get involved.

I understand.

She's a girl.

I know, and I'm real glad.

Listen, son, Kate mentioned to me that her cousin was injured on a dirt bike.

And on further consideration, I don't think we should get him. They're too

dangerous.

That's not true, Dad.

It's the people who fall off the motorcycles that get all the publicity.

You never hear about the guys that manage to stay on.

Son. Dad, you promised.

I did not promise.

I said I'd think about it, and I have.

They're too dangerous. Right, Kate?

Uh, I think I'll let you two talk this out.

I'm going to go into the library and, uh, be there.

Dad, I've got to be honest here.

If you're not going to let me get a dirt bike, I just can't see what reason

there is to go on.

Don't you think you might be being a little bit dramatic?

I know what's going on here.

You're caving in to girlfriend pressure.

Now, you just wait a minute.

Can you look me straight in the eye and tell me to not let him have a dirt bike?

Has nothing to do with what Kate wants.

I don't want you to have a dirt bike because I don't want you to get hurt.

I'm sorry.

Mom!

Richard.

Oh, hi.

How are you? Good.

Edward? Evelyn.

Well, thank you, dear. You have wonderful taste.

You tied the tie.

Abominable. I did.

Of course.

So, Edward, how are things here in the Magic Kingdom?

Never better, Evelyn. And what have you been up to?

Oh, I've just been to Spain at the invitation of King Juan Carlos.

And you?

Oh, I've just subscribed to Popular Mechanics at the invitation of

Clearinghouse.

Richard, get your suitcase.

Okay, Ma.

So... So...

Nice weather.

Where is your girlfriend, Edward?

In the library.

Ah, reading How to Marry a Millionaire?

Evelyn.

Sorry, that was Catty.

I'm just glad she reads.

I'm ready.

Boy, I can't wait to get to Bernard's by the bay.

And have some of that great lemon soup.

Those are finger balls, dear.

That was a joke.

Oh.

Uh -huh. Yes.

Goodbye. Rick,

aren't you going to say goodbye to Kate?

Gotta go.

Hey, son.

You're going to be gone a whole week.

Don't I get a hug?

And this is a picture of my gram and grams.

That's nice, Kate.

And this is a picture of my cat, Fluffy.

That's nice, Kate.

And this is a picture of my uncle, Phanark, from Venus. He has three heads.

That's nice, Kate.

Edward, I know you miss Ricky, but he's due back tonight.

I just hope he's not still mad at me because I wouldn't let him have a

motorcycle.

Oh, Edward, you're the kind of man who's sensitive to the feelings of everyone

around him.

And I love you for that.

Where's Ricky?

He'll be right in. Good.

Good. Good.

Well.

Evelyn, you've met Kate. Kate, you've met Evelyn. We've met.

Good.

Oh, Richard has a surprise for you, Edward, outside.

Surprise for me?

I guess he has a surprise for me. He's not so mad at me.

Here's that word.

Do you believe this?

Library,

again.

Evelyn, you bought this for him?

Yes. Is something wrong?

I realize you guys want to have a nice talk.

So I'm just going to go upstairs and read the safety manual.

I'm not leaving this house until I've committed it to memory.

Dad, let me leave you with this thought.

I love this bike.

It's the greatest thing in the world.

Next to you.

And anytime you want to borrow it, it's yours.

I was planning to get him one, so I thought the nice thing to do would be to

beat you to it.

I specifically told Ricky that he couldn't have a motorcycle because

dangerous.

He played both ends against the middle here and manipulated you into getting

one.

I was not manipulated.

People do not manipulate me. I have never been manipulated in my life.

divorced, but we're still Ricky's parents.

And I think when one of us makes a decision, the other one should back him

Agreed?

Agreed. All right, shake.

I'd better go up and have this out with Ricky.

Edward, I need a phone.

I refuse to speak into a duck.

Suit yourself.

Yes. I need to use a phone, Miss Somers.

Oh, that's Somers.

Right. The phone is right here.

That's a fish.

It's a fish phone.

I'll use the phone in the limo.

Suit yourself.

If there's anything else you need... Miss Simmers.

That's Summers.

Right.

Richard has been talking to me about you, and that got me to thinking.

It must be a bit uncomfortable for you, being in love with a man who has a

teenage boy.

Oh, not at all.

Ricky's terrific.

He's bright.

He's sensitive. He's my son.

I know that.

And I would never try to replace you.

Good.

Evelyn.

Yes?

This is an awkward situation for both of us.

We happen to be two women who are or were in love with the same man.

Can't we be friends?

No. I didn't think so.

We have to talk, son.

Okay.

Now, son, look. Dad, I just want to thank you again for understanding about

bike. That's what I want to talk to you about. Did Mom tell you how I lit up

when I thought?

It wasn't just my normal.

It was.

is safer than this.

Rick, you are in big trouble.

Rick's not home right now.

May I take a message?

Son, now quit joking around.

This is serious.

Now, why didn't you tell your mother that I disapproved of the motorcycle?

I forgot.

Can't you do a little better than that?

Maybe.

I guess I

can't.

The motorcycle is going back.

Sit down Now what you did was

dishonest You used your mother to get what you wanted, even though you knew I

didn't want you to have it And that was wrong

Son I hate to say this

But I'm very disappointed in you

and then you too.

Oh?

Yeah.

You let Kate tell you what to do.

You were just as excited as me when we said we were going to get dirt bikes.

And then Kate opens her big mouth and says they're dangerous.

Now, you watch your mouth.

Kate did give me her opinion, but I made the decision.

But you would have made that decision if she hadn't bought it in. Now, that's

enough about Kate.

Edward, do you mind if I have a talk with Ricky?

No, I think that might be a good idea.

Do you mind, Ricky?

Don't kids have a choice?

Lincoln didn't free the teenagers.

Ricky, I know you blame... Give me a break, Kate!

After all you've done, can't you just leave me alone?

I want us to talk this out. There's nothing to talk about!

Me and my dad were all set to get off dirt bikes.

Then you come up with this bummer story about your relative.

Next thing I know, I'm right back on my schwinn.

All I was trying to do was... You're trying to act like my mother.

And you're not my mother.

Ricky.

Your father and I are involved right now.

And it's a tough situation for all of us. You're not sure where I fit in.

And to tell you the truth, I'm not sure either.

Now, I'm not trying to be your mother.

But I am trying to be your friend.

Now, the way I look at it, friends care about each other.

Don't they?

Don't they?

In some countries.

Remember a couple of months ago when it was raining real hard and I came to work

soaking wet?

Sort of.

Well, you were real worried about me. You brought me some towels and some hot

soup.

Yeah, but I tricked and spilled the soup all over you.

True. But you brought me some more towels and some more hot soup and some

Bactine.

Now, that's the kind of thing that a friend would do.

Don't you think?

I guess so.

But if you're my friend, then how come you stopped me from getting a

I really wanted it.

Because a real friend doesn't just tell you the things that you want to hear.

I worry about your having an accident on that motorcycle.

And I will not apologize for worrying about you.

Because I love you.

Well, I just wanted to tell you how I feel.

Kate?

Yeah?

I love you, too.

I'm sorry, Dad.

You conned me, young man.

Now what do you have to say for yourself?

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'll never do it again.

If I do, you can tie one end of rope to me and the other end to a smelly camel.

And then you can drag me across the Gobi Desert until my body swells up and my

tongue turns black.

What I'll do is cut off your allowance.

Whoa, that's rough!

Son, let's take back the dirt pipe.

Okay.

But before we do, there's just one thing.

Mom.

Dad, Keith, I care a lot about all of you, and it

would make me feel a whole lot better if we could all just get along.

So do you think there's a chance that we could all just spend some time

together?

No.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together, taking the time.
