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

Open 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.

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

Two silver spoons together.

You and I, we're going to find out.

Rigging's kind of tough, huh? I'll see.

Here, I'm a pro at that.

I'll see here.

I

sure

love it when we do things together, son.

That's all right. I'll get it.

No more questions. Look, final.

But only a half an hour to goof around?

You heard me. I want you to study.

But it's Saturday.

Can't I hang out with Rick for at least an hour? A half hour, a minute of which

you've already wasted on this pointless protest.

But Uncle Dexter!

Quiet!

Haven't I told you it's bad manners to carry on a personal argument in someone

else's home?

Hello there.

Come on, Alfonso.

You can help me with my model.

Perhaps you can help him bring up some of his deplorable midterm grade.

Yeah.

Rick.

I didn't know you got your midterm grades already.

Yeah, I was saving them for after dinner. You know, like dessert.

What do you say we make it before dinner? You know, like... An appetizer.

Actually,

I did quite well. Got an A in English, B in math.

And in Spanish, I was muy bueno.

And in science, you were muy lousy.

I'm squeaking by.

Oh, come on, Rick. Since when are you a squeaker buyer?

I'm just not into science, Dad.

What do you mean? You love computers. I don't understand.

Regular science is boring.

What's... the difference if I know the names of rocks and worms as long as I

tell them apart?

Scientific principles affect everything we do in life. For every action, there's

an equal and opposite reaction.

Action.

Reaction.

Now I understand that principle.

You know, if you don't improve these grades, you're going to end up going to

college where the application comes in a matchbook.

Let's go study, Alfonso.

I just thought of something.

trouble with teenagers, Edward.

They're too old to spank and too young to evict.

You know the trouble with adults?

They're delirious with power.

They don't realize how mature we are.

Hey, I buy my own underwear.

They treat us like kids. My Uncle Dexter says until my grades come up, he's

taking away the volume knob from my stereo.

would do anything good enough for him.

I saved $20 on my piggy bank, and he got mad at me because it wasn't in a money

market account.

Well, Dexter understands his business.

I'll say.

He makes me keep track of how I spend my allowance.

I'm the only kid in America who knows that 77 % of his allowance is spent on

candy, records, comics, and movies.

What about the other 23 %?

Entertainment.

He wants me to be like him, but I'm not.

I'm like a wild stallion. I gotta roll free.

So, Alfonso, speak in a room and free.

We gotta talk about our plans for Thanksgiving vacation next weekend.

You got anything in mind? Talk to me.

Well, Freddy gave me two tickets for the Snoopy on Ice Show Saturday night.

Yeah, that would have been a little too much for Freddy.

Anyway, I traded him in for the Cyndi Lauper concert.

Great. where's Freddy gonna be?

He has to go on a car trip to Buffalo.

He has to spend his entire four -day vacation with his parents.

Ooh.

I feel sorry for him.

Hello?

Hiya, Nate.

It's Nate.

What's shaking?

Yeah, Alfonso's here. Why?

A party?

The Friday after Thanksgiving.

Hold on. We'll have to discuss it. All right!

I think we can make it.

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

Okay, Nate. We'll see you Friday.

Bye.

This is great. We're the only two freshman guys invited.

Wow. Well, hotter than we thought we were.

This is a major breakthrough.

Breakthrough? This is an honor.

By the way, we're supposed to bring all the food.

I tried teaching Alfonso how to play chess.

He keeps referring to the queen as a chick and the king as the main dude.

Well, I can tell you your mind's not on the game.

I just took your chick.

Chick me.

Hi, guys.

Ah, look who's here, Miss Indiana Jones.

I just took the company plane out for a test spin. And?

All systems are go.

All right. Yeah.

You know, Eddie Toy's plane flies a lot better without that giant rubber nose.

Well, you're the captain.

Yeah. Did I tell you, Dex? We're flying down to the island of St.

Agnes for Thanksgiving vacation.

We haven't told Rick yet. It's going to be a surprise.

You're qualified to fly a plane over all that water?

flown over river streams, ponds, swamps, bays, gulfs, all the great lakes, and

several so -so lakes.

Kate slogged literally thousands of hours of flight time. Yeah, from the

was a little girl, my Uncle Buzz and Aunt Irene would take me up on their

biplane. He was a stunt pilot, and she would walk the wing.

How romantic.

They broke up, though, when Uncle Buzz caught Aunt Irene walking on someone

else's wing.

I had no idea you were so aeronautical.

Yeah. Dex, I got an idea. Why don't you and Alfonso come along with us? There's

room, right, Kate? Oh, yeah. We've got five seats. How much do you weigh? 140,

150 in there?

Uh -huh.

Sure, fine.

You say you've flown over water?

Puddles, rapids, bottling plants, waterbed factories. Okay, okay. You can

in. Oh, God!

Good.

We're going to the library, Dad.

Yeah. So don't wait up for us.

Hey, guys.

Come here a sec.

We got a little surprise for you. Well, actually, we got a big surprise for you

because this Thanksgiving weekend, the five of us will be taking the Eddie Toys

company plane on an expense -paid fun and sun -filled vacation to the exotic

Caribbean island of...

with you guys.

I just wish you would have given us more notice.

Notice? Notice is something you give for bad things, like getting fired or

getting sued or getting drafted.

You don't give notice for good things, fun things. You just say it.

See, we've already made other plans.

Well, are they important?

Probably the most important thing in my life so far.

You want to tell me what it is?

I will, but it's not...

you notice.

You mean, Alfonso, we're getting ready to this big party at a sophomore's

That's the most important night in your life?

Hey, we haven't lived that long.

Well, we were kind of hoping we'd all be together for Thanksgiving on a tropical

paradise.

What if we refuse to go?

Isn't this great?

Miami Center, this is November 3345, X -ray Alpha. I am 45 DME out of the 065

radio of the Miami Vortex, bearing 320 degrees.

I'm very impressed.

What did you tell them?

That we're turning left.

But I tell you, once those guys got in the plane out over the ocean, they

all about that party.

So how are you guys feeling?

Fine.

Great.

Well, I can see why you love to fly, Kate.

It sure is beautiful up here.

You guys ever see so much blue?

Whenever I look into Tawny Oglethorpe's eyes, which I could do if I were Nate's

party, which I could be at if he turned this plane around.

Which I know you won't, so forget it.

They'll come around when they get to the limbo dance festival on St. Agnes.

How low can you go, man?

Limbo, limbo.

Limbo, limbo.

Limbo, limbo.

Hotel and St. Agnes, they got a daily water show starring Lester the Diving

Oh, no!

What is it?

Oh, I just remembered I left my purple bathing suit in the dryer.

Kate, I'm in a very small plane flying over a fairly deep ocean.

The last thing I want to hear a pilot saying is, oh, no.

I'm sorry, Dexter.

But you should relax and enjoy the flight. There's nothing... to worry

Well, I'm afraid there is. I don't want to alarm you folks, but I feel it's my

duty to tell you all that we're flying directly through the Bermuda Triangle.

Really? Wow!

What's the Bermuda Triangle?

What's the Bermuda Triangle? It's the section of ocean where thousands of

and planes have disappeared in the thin air.

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen any of the planes around here.

Rick, you're scaring Alfonso. Alfonso, believe me, the whole business about the

Bermuda Triangle is highly exaggerated.

Oh, really?

Well, I was skeptical, too, until I started reading this book.

The Bermuda Triangle, bottomless pit of doom.

Come on, Dexter. Well, it's a fact. A disproportionate amount of planes have

vanished. They think it's a mysterious electromagnetic force field.

My personal theory is it's a group of alien beings from another dimension who

need scrap metal.

You guys are ignoring the fact that 99 % of the planes that go through this

area, nothing at all happens to them.

What's that?

Whoa!

Sorry about that, guys. I just had to switch fuel

tanks.

That gauge was off a bit. That's why I missed it.

But there's nothing to worry about. We'll be fine now.

That's all right. Just keep your eyes on the road.

Whew. Buckle up. All right.

Well, I guess you're my co -pilot now.

Hey, all right.

This is your co -captain Rick Stratton speaking.

Welcome aboard No Fuels Airlines, flight number one and a half.

You're not in my movie tonight.

However, when it gets darker, I will be doing hand shadows on the ceiling.

Hey, Dex.

Well, this might be a good time to bridge the old gap with you -know -who.

Why don't we change seats, huh? That's a good idea. Very well.

Good start.

Also good stop.

Let's try again.

What are you reading, Alfonso?

Tiger Beat.

Why is Top Bill in the cover of a wildlife magazine?

It's not about wildlife.

It's about dancing, movies, records, and TV shows.

Oh, where you spend 77 % of your weekly allowance.

You know...

I've been thinking.

Lately, I've been pushing you very hard to study, to learn, be the way I was

when I was your age.

And well?

Yes? I think I've been absolutely correct.

I put this magazine down and study this textbook.

When do we get there?

Sixteen hundred hours.

Sixteen hundred?

1600 hours means four o 'clock.

Oh.

That means we'll be in here for another two hours.

Oh. Two hours?

So why don't we play a game?

That's a good idea. I know a good one. It's called name the public figure on

currency. I played all the time with David Rockefeller.

You mean like who's on the ten dollar bill? Alexander Hamilton.

Exactly. Now let's start with an easy one. Who was in the pre -World War

Japanese hundred yen bill?

And it's not Hirohito.

So, what else can we play?

For the record, the person on that 100 -yen bill was Shotoku Taishi.

Gesundheit.

Anybody here ever play the ever -popular find -the -famous -face -in -the -cloud

game? Never.

Now, you see that cloud right down over there to the right?

There? Yeah, yeah. Now, who's that remind you of?

Well, the cheekbones resemble Liberace, but the ears suggest Mr. Spock.

Any clues?

Yeah, it's all in the nose. You can play, too, Kate.

Yeah, in a minute.

Bob Hope?

No.

Barbra Streisand?

No. Shatoku Taishi?

Wrong. I'll give you another hint. Now, this guy's nose is so important to him,

he never leaves home without it.

Karl Malden?

That's a good one, Edward.

Right there. Those geese just flew into his nostril.

How come you were above that cloud and now we're below it?

Uh, well, I was just checking on something.

Why don't you keep playing? There are some great clouds up ahead.

Dex, why don't you change seats with me?

Mom, want to sit up here?

Sure.

Oil pressure's down in the port engine.

Port's that way.

Is that a problem?

Well, we could lose it.

Oh, no.

Tony, I forgot your beach songs.

Port engine's out.

But don't panic.

What do you mean, don't panic? I said there is nothing to panic about. Well,

will you tell us exactly when to panic?

Absolutely. We can make... it on one engine.

But just to be safe, why don't we put on our life preservers, huh?

All right, now, if Kate says we're okay, we're okay.

We're okay, right, Kate?

Everybody breaks and fell.

Oh, this is awful.

I keep thinking of something I wanted to do, but never did.

What's that?

Learn how to swim.

I'm scared, Dad.

I'm scared, too, son.

Dad, I've always told you the truth, but I have something to confess.

The reason you didn't know I was doing so bad in science is because my teacher

sent you home a note to sign, but I signed it for you.

That's all right, son.

You told me about it now, and you know what you did was wrong, so let's not

a big issue out of it, all right?

I got the engine going.

Hey! Hey!

How could you

forge my signature?

You said you weren't going to make a big issue out of it. Yeah, well, don't

change the subject. How many other times have you forged my name?

Thank you.

I love you too son.
