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.

You and I together.

We're gonna find our way.

You and I together.

We're gonna find our way.

You and I together.

The parents are having a slight disagreement.

Over what?

My mom says my dad's a slimy glob of vermin.

Can I stay?

I'm sure I'll ask my dad.

But you have to promise not to be your usual obnoxious self.

What?

I'm famous for being the perfect guest.

Do you mind if I take the bed and you take the floor?

Knock it off, Derek.

Now, as long as you're here, you can help me out with something.

What?

Well, there's a Valentine's Day surprise for my dad and Kate.

You see, we all like to celebrate special occasions together.

Wait a minute. Is there going to be a lot of huggy kissy -poo?

Probably.

Pass.

Derek, the giving of a Valentine is a way to say to somebody that I love you.

You see, I'm explaining... this to you so you'll understand why you never

received one.

Might you?

I've been smited.

Listen, Fred.

I, uh... I really appreciate you doing this for me, okay?

No, it's okay.

But remember...

I'd find anybody as compassionate and bright and beautiful as you are.

Six months ago, I might have said, I don't know what you see in me.

But you've given me a sense of my own worth.

And that's one of the greatest gifts anybody can get.

I love you, honey.

And Rick?

I love being a father.

Every time you experience something, it's fresh and new and important to me.

In a way, you've given me a chance to live my whole life over again.

I love you very much, son.

Come here.

Eric's upstairs and he wants to know if he can spend the night. Is that okay?

Sure, I want to see. Why not?

I'm going to go tell him.

Okay.

It's kind of kinky, but I'm getting into it.

God, you're watching us.

I was so sappy, Norman Rockwell would refuse to panic.

Derek, you don't have to get ashamed about showing emotions.

Okay, maybe for a second.

A millisecond.

I wish that my family would get along as well as you guys do.

But I'm over that now. In case of temporary insanity.

That argument between your parents is bothering you a whole lot more than you

let on, isn't it?

I don't want to talk about it.

All right.

My dad's been cheating on my mom again.

Oh.

I thought he was getting help in group therapy.

He was, and then he met another lady in the group who had the same problem.

They both just got back from a weekend in Atlantic City.

Well, they probably had fun.

You know something, Rick?

My dad cheats on his expense account. He cheats on his taxes. He cheats on his

golf score.

I mean, I really look up to him.

cheating on my mom.

How could he do something like that?

I was watching Phil Donahue last week.

And there's a bunch of wives on the show talking about the gray itch.

Is that anything like the heartbreak of psoriasis?

No, no. You see, it's when a man becomes middle -aged and his hair starts

turning gray.

He starts to worry whether women will still think he's sexy.

It's an itch.

So he finds himself a woman and... scratches.

Did the wives on the show forgive their husbands?

I don't know. I got bored and switched to the Flintstones.

But Wilma did forgive Fred for going bowling on their anniversary.

I'm sorry.

Listen, Derek.

Your parents have had this fight before.

Remember that time your mom turned on TV and saw your dad on the dating game?

She, uh... She took all his pictures and fed them to the Cuisinart.

eventually blew over in a few days.

So will the argument they're having now.

No.

It won't.

Sure it will.

Not this time.

I know that for sure.

What do you mean?

My parents are getting a divorce.

Thank you.

Is, um, is Derek here?

Yeah, he's upstairs with Rick.

Is anything wrong?

My whole day has been très miserable.

First of all, the gardener and his gas -powered hedge trimmer woke me up at the

uncivilized hour at 11 in the a .m.

Then my hairdresser, Jean -Claude, canceled my appointment because he got

up.

Again.

And worst of all, my husband and I had a terrible fight and... and... And?

We're getting a divorce.

It was an impulsive decision made in the heat of battle, but I feel very good

about it.

Oh, Corinne.

Is your marriage really over?

I feel very good about it.

And you're sure that this is what you want?

I feel very good about it.

Corinne, you're amazing.

Anybody else would crumble under the emotional experience of a divorce, and

you are. Look at you. You're a rock.

Derek and I have a...

9 .30 rendezvous with the 747.

We're flying to St.

Louis tonight.

Your family's there, aren't they?

I feel like my whole life's falling apart.

I want to be surrounded by the people who love me.

Court, you're...

A drink?

Some hot soup?

Why does my husband sleep with other women?

How about a nice apple?

Come in.

Rick, where's Derek?

Oh, he's in the bathroom brushing his teeth.

Dad, he told me his parents are getting a divorce.

I know his mom's downstairs.

Dad, why are so many people getting a divorce?

I mean, when you get married, it's supposed to be till death do us part.

Sometimes it becomes worse than death.

Look, son, people get divorced for a lot of reasons.

Sometimes it's a financial problem.

Sometimes...

Two people just grow in different directions.

Sometimes one or the other of them finds somebody else they like better.

Why'd your mom get a divorce?

I don't know. We just couldn't seem to agree on anything.

So we got a divorce.

Since then, there's something we do agree on, though.

We have the best son in the whole wide world.

Thanks, Dad.

You know, Derek...

He's been in there an awfully long time.

Derek!

Derek!

Why isn't he answering?

I don't know.

He was depressed about his parent's divorce.

depressed, was he?

He was real depressed, Dad.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Son, we're jumping to conclusions here.

He's probably just concentrating on his flossing.

Derek, can you hear me? Answer me!

Stand back, son. Let me try.

Karen's supposed to have made up.

She's here to tell me that everything's okay. Right, Mr. Stratton?

She's waiting on the couch.

Oh.

So they're still getting a divorce, huh?

She's taking me to St. Louis, isn't she?

When?

Tonight.

Tonight?

Stratton, I don't want to go to St. Louis.

Could, uh... Could I stay here with you guys?

Listen, Derry.

We would love to have you.

Wouldn't we, Bree?

I

would

like that.

It's amazing.

Then I can stay.

Well, think about it.

Your mother wants you with her.

And she loves you very much, and she's going through a very rough time. She's

going to need your help.

What about what I need?

I need my parents to still be together, Mr. Stratton. I know that, Derek, and

that could still happen.

But in the meantime, you and your mother are going to need each other.

Before I go, can I say goodbye to Rick?

Sure.

Anytime.

Wow.

I guess it's so long.

I guess it is.

We've had some good times together, haven't we?

We sure have.

Rick, this is my last chance to ask a question that's been on my mind for a

time.

Since we've known each other, there may have been one, two instances when I may

have been a little hard to take.

No.

The thing is, is that no matter how many rotten, dirty tricks that I pull on

you,

you always stay my friend.

How come?

You know, I've asked myself that question a thousand times.

You ever come up with an answer?

Yeah.

Because, you see, no matter how big a pain in the butt you are...

Life with Derek Taylor is never boring.

I try.

So long.

So long.

You know, I am a little nervous about what's going to happen to me in St.

It's about what's going to happen to St. Louis.

Don't worry, Derek. He'll make it.

You're a survivor.

Rick, you are without a doubt the most upfront, upright, uptight,

disgustingly straight arrow, best friend a guy ever had.

Derek, you are without a doubt the most underhanded, unwholesome,

untruthful, outrageously scuzzy best friend the guy ever had.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

You know what?

What?

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together,

taking the time to stay.

To learn all about the things you just can't find.

Two silver spoons together.
