All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s04e06 The Trouble with Uncle Harry

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

Hoping to find we're two of a kind.

Making a go, making it grow.

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.

Two silver spoons together.

keys in my Mercedes.

Uh -huh.

You found them? No, but I found your
silver pin.

Hey, how about that? First thing your
uncle's borrowed that I've gotten back.

Is he still here?

Oh, you know the old saying, old
soldiers never die, they just move in

Not forever, just until he finds himself
a job.

That's what I said, forever.

The water's boiling, let's take a break.

And stop the fun? Okay.

Quitter. Look for my keys myself.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, son. Look, genuine military
camouflage.

We got it at the Army PX.

That's a relief. I thought you enlisted.

How come you're back so early?

Oh, Uncle Harry sounded out to some
general that women were ruining the

Oh, yeah? What happened?

She had the MPs throw him off the base.

Where's the old smooth talker now?

He's parking your Mercedes.

My Mercedes?

No wonder I can't find my keys.

Why didn't he take his own car?

Well, he said it wouldn't be able to
take the test course. Well, they try out

new tanks.

Eddie, my boy, something's wrong with
your transmission. You better have it

looked at.

Hurry.

I'm going to say this in language that I
know you'll understand.

Now, hear this.

You never take my car again. Got it,
soldier?

Got it.

By the way, you're low on gas.

Uncle Harry, there's a great war movie
on. The Longest Day. Oh, yeah. That's

one where John Wayne plays me.

Did you ever eat his chicken?

It tastes like ribs.

I know that idiot.

You know Chicken Charlie?

Yeah, Charlie Morrison.

We were master sergeants in the army
together.

Of course, he was a better dresser then.

Have you kept in touch?

Nah, we weren't exactly buddies.

We were always trying to top each other.
Why don't you give the old turkey

buzzard a call?

Well, I've been thinking of it, but I've
been too busy lately. No, no, no.

Well, why don't you call him right now?

He'd be blown out if he knew what the
Pentagon's always calling you for

That's a good idea, Rick, but I can't do
it right now. I've got to get some job.

It was one of the most exciting movies
I'd ever seen.

Hi, kids.

Don't let me bother you.

How you doing, Katie?

Hi, Uncle Harry.

The cinematography was incredibly
panoramic.

You like panoramic?

Try the view from the top of the bridge
at Remagen.

Did I ever tell you how I saved that
bridge?

No more than 40, 50 times.

Did I tell you?

Edward told me.

Kate?

Is that where you slapped General Patton
and told him to pull himself together?

It was for his own good.

Come in.

I'll be right back.

I love it when Uncle Harry tells World
War II stories.

Did you know the one time he single
-handedly annoyed a German platoon to

That's a panic, kiddo. Uncle Harry,
guess who wants to talk to you?

Charlie?

Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I
don't want that lucky bum lording it

me. Lording it over you?

This man dresses like a hen.

Talk to him. No, no, no, no. Forget it.

Come on, you can invite him out to
lunch, maybe cook up a deal together.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Hey, you know, that's not a bad idea.

Great. You're a born leader, young man.

Are Kate and Edward still going to that
Jets game tomorrow?

Yes. Okay.

Charlie, you old son of a... gun.

Yeah, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, listen, we
ought to get together.

Why don't you come out to my estate on
Long Island?

What? Say tomorrow around 12 .30.

We'll have ourselves a nice lunch.

Dad?

Oh, I'm sorry. It's not important.

Look, I know how tough Uncle Harry can
be, but I don't see him as you do. I

still see him as I did when I was a
little girl.

He'd sweep into Columbus in his army
uniform from some spot halfway around

world and absolutely hypnotize me.

Yeah. He's got Rick Snow, too.

He used to tell the most wonderful
stories.

And he still does.

Did I ever tell you about the landing at
Salerno?

There were Germans to the left of us.

Italians to the right. Oh, Uncle Harry,
I would love to listen, but I have so

much to do upstairs.

Oh, that's okay.

It's a man's story anyway.

Well, there we were.

Trapped with no way out. I know the
feeling. Listen, I got to run.

Oh, no problem. I'll just tell Eddie
here. Oh, well, maybe later, Uncle

I've got to see Rick for a minute.

Well, that's all right.

I'll save it till dinner.

Yeah, it's been that kind of day.

You want to talk about it?

It's really simple.

Someone who's very close to someone,
who's close to someone else, wants to

pretend to own something that really
belongs to someone else.

The someone who's close to the someone
that the someone is close to.

Dad, the real problem is somebody wants
me to keep quiet about something.

You mean lying?

Well, yeah, but the thing is, this lie
won't hurt anybody.

Sounds like it's hurting you already.

I know.

I know.

And you know what to do about it?

Knowing what to do doesn't make it any
easier.

I know.

I know.

He dribbles.

He passes. He stops.

Uncle Harry, we've got to talk.

Sure, kid.

What's the problem?

We cannot pretend this is your house.

Why not?

It'll only take five minutes at the
most.

He'll be in and out, and then we're off,
you know, we're off to lunch. Would you

hand me the grape jelly?

It doesn't matter how long it takes.

We cannot do it.

Well, I'll make it three minutes. No.

It's wrong.

I don't want you to do something that'll
make you uncomfortable.

Even if it means that a blowhard like
Charlie Morrison will have the time of

life laughing at me.

It's ironic, isn't it? A man serves his
country for 30 years, and

the world thinks of him as a washed -up
piece of nothing.

Listen, the visit's not until tomorrow.

Why don't you call him up and change
your plans?

No, no, no.

He'll find out sooner or later.

Harry Summers is not one to dodge the
bullet.

No.

Better to tell him I'm a washed -up
failure.

Face to face.

Okay.

Okay, Uncle Harry. Are you sure? Just
five minutes?

In and out, Rick.

You got my word for it. In and out.

Dad, would you hurry up? You're going to
be late.

I can't find my binoculars.

I'll let you borrow my telescope.

Oh, that'll look great. Your father
watching the cheerleaders with a

Rick, I saw him. He's coming up the
drive.

Wait. Who?

Um, Freddy. We're gonna do our homework
together.

My binoculars.

Naturally. You've got it. Uh, hold it,
hold it.

Let me get some of this grape jelly off.

Okay, folks.

Let's move. Come on. Uh, come on.

Wait a minute. My keys. I can't find my
car keys.

Okay, men.

Fan out!

Hey, hey. I found them.

What? Oh, that's great, that's all.
Right on time.

So why don't you just go ahead?

Go, Jets, go!

Hello. Hello.

Hey, aren't you Charlie Chicken?

Chicken Charlie.

Boy, a real celebrity.

I've seen all your commercials.

Yummy, yum, yum, yum, yum.

Well, that's very good, kid.

Here's a coupon for a free wing.

Listen, does Harry Summers really live
here?

Does Harry Summers really live here?

I ask you first.

So, how many chickens do you kill a
year?

Charlie, you old goat.

What are you doing out in the cold? Come
on in where it's warm and plush and

rich.

Welcome to my not -so -humble home.

Oh, I see you let my nephew Rick.

Yeah.

Strange kid, Harry.

Hey, hold it. What does this E stand
for?

Expensive.

Come on, I'll show you around.

Uncle Harry, it's getting late.

You don't want to miss your lunch
reservation, remember?

They'll hold it for Harry Summers.

Summers, I thought you was going to end
up a two -bit mooch or someplace.

If I hadn't seen this place in my own
eyes, I never would have believed it.

And now that you've seen it, you can be
on your way.

Hey, is that for show or does it go?

No. Hop on, I'll show you.

Uncle Harry, it's getting late.

You don't want to miss lunch.

Call and postpone it for me. What
happened to in and out in three minutes?

Relax, kid. Who's gonna get hurt?

All aboard!

We just heard on the car radio there's a
big thunderstorm coming, so we decided

to come on home and watch the game on
TV.

Well, you know those weathermen. They're
always wrong.

Lucky guess.

Look, I've got a great idea.

Why don't you watch the game up in your
room?

You know, make a little picnic out of
it. Huh?

Huh? Sounds good, doesn't it? Huh? Huh?

Yeah, it does. Hey, why don't we do it
down here?

No! No!

No?

Something wrong?

No.

It's just that it's cozy. You're
upstairs.

Come on.

Where's the train?

Oh, Uncle Harry's got it.

But he'll be back in time to watch the
game with you. Tell you more of his

army stories.

Let's go watch the game upstairs.

Lucky we got derailed so close to the
house, or else we'd... We'd be soaked.

He will?

I gotta hand it to you, Harry. I'm
impressed.

Well, I thought you might be.

Well, your guys are back just in time to
leave for lunch.

What is this kid, a broken record?

I want to show him the upstairs first.
Come on, Charlie. No, no, no, no, no.

Wait, wait.

You cannot go upstairs. We've got a
slight problem with the butler and the

They never went to the game.

What? They're hanging out upstairs.

Oh.

Oh. Come on, Charlie. Let's get some
lunch. Come on.

Well, it certainly was nice to meet you,
Charlie Chicken.

Chicken Charlie.

I can't wait to tell my friends at
school.

Who was that?

What? Who was what?

Somebody answer that door, please.

Who's that?

Um, the butler.

doesn't he get the door?

Good health is so hard to find.

I'd like to keep standing here, but I'm
starting to mill you.

Come in, come in, come in.

This is Dexter Stuffins, my, uh, my
business manager.

Your business manager? That's right.

Congratulations, Stuffins.

I'm going to throw all of my business
your way.

It's the break I've been waiting for all
my life.

Listen, I have to get my briefcase.
Excuse me, please.

I'll get that for you. All right, let's
go. Come on.

Oh, wait a minute. Wait just a second.

I'm on TV. I got a commercial on right
now. I gotta watch it. No, no, no. No,

no, no, no. Who's that? George? It's me,
Edward.

I'll be right down.

Rick, Rick.

Charlie, Charlie.

Why don't you use the TV in the library?

You can hear your yummy yums in stereo.

In stereo? Yeah, stereo.

Rick.

What's going on in here?

I'm kept standing out in the rain, the
door is slammed in my face, and I'm

pawned off as the business manager of
that soldier of misfortune.

You want to shed some light on this?

Edward, could I borrow Rick for a
moment, please?

Why not? You borrowed everything else.

Now what?

I got a little problem here, kid.

Oh, no.

How'd this happen?

Well, I was... trying to find your
father's keys to his Ferrari, and my

stuck in this pot.

This is not a pot.

It's an antique vase from the Manchu
dynasty.

No, no, no, no, no, please.

Please, please. No, no, no.

What is going on? The game started.

What was that? I don't know, but I'm on
my way. Goodbye.

Hey, Rick.

What was that crash?

What crash?

You know that tacky white vase with
those stupid little ducks on it?

Not the antique vase.

What are you worried about? It's not
yours.

Not ours.

Harry, I gotta hand it to you. A swell
house, a butler, a friendly -looking

maid. You got it all, boy.

Butler?

Friendly -looking?

Well, uh, well, it's time for lunch.

Let's go, Charlie.

Wait a sec. I lost my hat. Where's my
hat? I think I put it in the library.

Library.

Rick?

Okay, Dad.

But try to remember, he's a veteran.

Quit stalling.

Dad, I was helping Uncle Harry pretend
our house was his house so he can

Charlie Chicken.

Charlie Chicken?

I'm really sorry, Dad.

It was supposed to be in and out, only
for a minute.

Who knew it would lead to all this?

Oh, don't blame yourself, kid.

It was as much my fault as it was yours.

Rick, there's no excuse for going along
with lies or deception, no matter what

the reason.

So I'm grounded for two days, right?

Try two weeks.

Ooh.

And you, this time you've gone too far
involving Rick in a scheme like that.

Well, what do you expect?

You give Harry Summer something good?

Something solid and real?

Something filled with warmth and love.

And sooner or later, he'll just mess it
up.

Maybe it would be better if I packed up
and left.

Oh, Uncle Harry.

How could you do this?

Well, I was... I was trying to be a big
shot.

Trying to pretend I had wealth and
dignity. Just... Just to impress some

And it's cost me the love of the only
three people I ever really cared about.

I can't find my hat nowhere.

Charlie, look here.

There's something I guess I'd better
tell you. Shall I get your coat,

sir?

What? Your coat, sir.

Shall I get it?

You'll be late for lunch, sir.

Yeah, sure.

That's my hat.

What'd you do, put it in the trash
compactor?

Don't worry about it, Charlie.

I'll buy you a new one and take it out
of his wages.

Well, it was certainly nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too, kid.

If you're lucky, one of these days
you'll grow up to be just like your

Harry.

I'll be right with you.

Thanks, Edward.

That took class.

I agree.

Harry, this will never, ever happen
again.

I know.

Because that's the last time I fall for
that warmth and...

Love routine.

Now, that was great, Dad.

Letting Uncle Harry stay like that?

Well, under the circumstances.

But didn't you just go along with the
lie?

Yes, he did.

Well, then, if I'm grounded, it appears
to me you should be grounded.

Yes, you should.

But you said you were the maid.

Yes, she did.

Well, then I guess I'm grounded, too.

Wait a minute. We're all grounded, and
Uncle Harry's out having a blast.
