All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s04e09 Magnificent Obsession

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

hoping to find we're two of a kind,
making it go, making it grow.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together, taking the time each day to

learn all about the world.

You're saving threes, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

You mean if I discard this, you promise
not to use it?

I promise.

Jen! I look really stupid,

right? Absolutely not. I knew it.

This outfit is terrible.

I blew three months' clothing allowance
just to look like Zippy the Pinhead.

Billy, you look like you should be on
the cover of a magazine.

Yeah, true geek.

What are you so nervous about, boy? This
girl must really be something.

Dad, this is not just a girl. This is
Amanda Belson. She's incredible.

She's got these eyes.

And these lips.

And these teeth.

I mean, that's... Far enough, bud.

I still can't believe I had the nerve to
ask her out.

I still can't believe she said yes.

I still can't believe I said golly.

Are you sure?

I take it you're not eating at Bun and
Run. No, we're having dinner at

Whoa, that should sweep her off her
feet.

Yeah, that place is supposed to be
great.

The only thing that can go wrong tonight
is me.

Rick, relax.

The important thing to remember is don't
let the salad dressing dribble down

your chin.

Dad, what if the conversation dries up?

What if we just sit there staring at
each other?

What if I float out of my body and can't
get back in?

No problem. I left my body lots of
times. Always got back.

Have a good time, son.

Thanks.

Wait a minute, Rick.

Your collar's a little funny.

Pierre is a very expensive restaurant.

Oh, Kate, I have enough money. Rick,
it's a French restaurant. No one ever

enough money.

Hey,

Rick.

Dad, I don't want to be late.

Restaurant's kind of expensive, huh?

Wow, thanks.

If you keep this up, maybe I can take it
to a French restaurant in Paris.

Bye, Dexter. Bye, Dexter.

Welcome back, next. Hi, Edward.

How was Chicago?

Windy and cold, but I braved the
elements to buy you this gift.

Well, let me guess.

Bowling ball.

Come on, you didn't have to do this.

I don't know what to say, do you,
Edward?

Yeah, but I better keep my mouth shut.

Incredible luck.

I just happened by this old antique
shop, and there he sat in the window,

faithful custodian of his patron's
fortune.

I thought of us, Edward, and I wanted
you to have it.

How nice.

Hold on just a minute. I'll show you
something.

What do you think?

That's one place for it. I can think of
several others.

Wait a minute.

Something under here.

This painting is over another one.

Really? Uh -huh. Where?

Right here, look it. She's right.

You can just make out another faint
signature.

Oh, no.

What? Well, I was just reading about
this little old lady who took this

to an art dealer to have it cleaned, and
they discovered another painting under

it. A genuine Rembrandt. Whoa!

Hold a minute here. You're not
suggesting we strip the old accountant.

Of course not.

I know what that means to you.

I can't help wondering what that
signature is. A -S -S -O.

Maybe it's... Okay.

Couldn't be a Picasso.

Picasso? Strip the sucker.

I had a great time last night.

Great? Just great?

How about spectacular, fantastic,
fabulous?

Now you're on the right track.

You know, I thought I was pretty clever
to tell the head waiter we were

newlyweds.

Yeah, but he still made us wait an hour
for a table.

Maybe I should have looked at more than
a quarter.

I know what I thought was the best part
of the evening.

So do I. The chocolate eclairs.

Chocolate eclairs?

I even had a dream about them.

Was there a guy in your dream who looked
like me?

Uh -huh.

Ow!

Oh, no, Matt.

Great.

He doesn't look too cheerful.

Well, he's still upset about our
breaking up. I can't blame him.

When you've been to heaven, it's hard to
go back to Hackensack.

Mandy, can I talk to you?

This isn't the time, okay?

Look, I've got to go tell Brad something
anyway.

You're really a terrific guy.

It's a curse.

Why aren't you sitting with Amanda?

Yeah. Why is she talking to Matt
Henderson?

The guy's in the dumpster.

She's just going to put the lid on.

Why do you feel like that?

Don't you want to see this?

No, I don't.

I'm not going to stare at them like some
petty, jealous little kid.

Anyway, I can see them just fine in the
mirror.

So, how'd it go last night?

It went.

You know, Rick, one of the reasons I
admire you is you're not one of those

-righteous clowns who thinks it's some
kind of crime to talk about the details

of a date.

Yeah, you don't have all those sick hang
-ups about privacy.

Rick, you have an awesome responsibility
to share your insights and provide us

with cheap thrill.

Would you guys relax?

Look, I couldn't explain it anyway.

Look who's walking out alone.

She wants you, Stratton.

You dog.

Isn't life the best?

So, babe, how's it holding up?

Matt was really upset about us going
out.

He told me he ripped the door off his
locker.

Maybe. He just forgot his combination.

You think that's funny?

No.

You shouldn't make jokes about Matt.

He was emotionally devastated.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Listen, how about going to the ZZ Top
concert next week?

They're your favorite group.

Rick, this is hard for me to say.

I like you.

A lot.

But I think I'm going to start seeing
Matt again.

I'm really sorry.

But I... He said he couldn't live
without me. And you fell for that?

That's Matt.

Goodbye, Rick.

And thanks for last night.

I can't believe it. I finally got
through.

What song you want, kid?

I'd like to dedicate Mr.

and Mr.'s Broken Wings from Rick to
Amanda with utter devotion.

You know how many utter devotions I've
done today. How about yours forever?

You don't understand.

I really am utterly devoted.

Okay, okay.

Rick, aren't you supposed to be studying
for your exams tomorrow?

Why should I study, Kate?

My life is over.

Can you believe it? Her line's busy.

It takes me two hours to get through to
the radio station. Now she's never going

to hear it.

Do you think maybe you're getting a
little carried away with Amanda?

A little carried away?

Kate, if I could buy advertising on
television, I'd do it.

Look, Rick, I'm all for love, but there
are other things in life besides Amanda.

No, there aren't.

I got through.

Hello, Amanda. Turn your radio to WZIN.

Amanda Belson.

Lo siento, senora.

Longo numero.

Si, si, my mistake -o.

for somebody who's disgustingly, utterly
devoted.

Mr. Mister's broken wings from Rick to
Amanda.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly
again.

Doesn't it so free?

She should have been back from the art
dealer an hour ago. Where is she? Maybe

she sold the painting and ran off with
the money.

Speaking of which, have you thought
about how we'll split it?

I just assumed it would be 50 -50.

Although I was the one who found it.

That's true.

Although we were the ones who found the
signature.

Well, yes, of course. But, you know,
some people might think that was a

technicality.

I mean, I bought it.

You gave it.

As a gift.

Out of friendship.

It's a Picasso.

Oh, yes!

It was put out by Peter Casso Paint by
Numbers Company, Cicero, Illinois.

We sacrificed the old accountant for
this?

Well, look at it this way. We haven't
lost a painting. We've gained a hobby.

Well, I'll go look to see if we have any
brushes.

Well, I'm relieved.

Another minute, we would have been at
each other's throats.

You're right. I never knew you could be
so petty.

Dexter, don't! What is it? What?

Those are for Amanda.

Who's Amanda?

The girl Rick has a crush on.

A crush?

Dad, she's breaking my heart.

Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know here.

Rick can't seem to get through to her.
I'm not surprised.

Listen, forget about the eclairs. That's
the way to a man's heart.

The way to a woman's heart is through
her heart. Send her a poem.

Dex, that went out about 200 years ago.

Let me tell you something, Richard.

A simple, sincere verse couched in the
language of the heart can get through to

any chick.

You really think a poem will work? Can
you afford a Porsche?

No. Try the poem.

It's Wednesday. She's always here by
now.

Here you go, oddly devoted.

Does everyone know?

Next time you want to keep a secret,
don't put it on the radio.

I'm going to dedicate a song to you. You
don't mess around with a big man's

woman.

Wish me luck, guys.

Go for it, Rick.

She's gonna mangle him.

So what?

We're always getting mangled by ugly
girls.

Hi.

Hi. Is it okay if I sit down?

Well... Thanks.

I just wanted to give you this.

What is it? Oh, it's a little something
I've been writing for the last two days.

I'll take that.

Matt, give it back. Oh, I will as soon
as I'm finished. Henderson, give it

Take it easy.

That's private. Not for long. May I have
everyone's attention, please?

Stratton here has written a little poem
he'd like to share with all of us.

Come on, then. Oh, my darling Amanda.

Eyes of sparkling sapphire.

Thick chestnut threads of hair.

These fill my heart.

Just seeing your sun -kissed skin.
Where? Where?

Farewell, Romeo.

Hey,

Ruth. Oh, dinner will be ready in ten
minutes.

I've given up eating.

Dad, would you stop asking all these
questions?

This is one I don't want to talk about,
okay?

Okay.

I mean it, Dad.

What do you think happened?

I don't know, but I'm going to find out.

Dad,

if it's you, I'm not here.

Rick, if you don't want to talk about
this, I understand.

Good.

But if you do, I'm here.

Not bad.

Dad, I don't want to talk about it.

Why did you have to talk me into this
anyway?

You know, Dad, I may have been miserable
before, but at least I had a shred of

my dignity left.

I just wanted you to believe in yourself
and go after what you wanted. You also

asked me, what do you have to lose?

Well, I found out.

Why do I feel responsible and I don't
even know what happened?

I want to go to another school on
another planet.

Won't do any good. There are women
everywhere.

One thing I've learned from all this is
to go after what you want, but hold on

to your dignity.

That's something.

Excuse me, Rick.

Amanda's downstairs.

She is? Here? Amanda?

Did you hear that, Amanda? What about
holding on to your dignity?

I just can't resist this face.

Hi.

I'm glad you stopped by.

Rick, I had to see you.

You did?

No one's ever written me a poem before.

You liked it?

Well, I only heard four lines, but they
were so romantic and wise and beautiful.

The rest was just more of the same.

I can't believe Matt could be so cruel.

Ah, who cares?

I care.

I told him I didn't want to see him for
a week.

What? Well, a week's a long time.

You mean you're still going out with
that moron?

What do you see in him?

Well, he's sweet and kind and good
-looking.

And he is the captain of the football
team.

What difference does that make?

I've always dreamed of dating the
captain of the football team, Rick.

And now I am.

It's my destiny.

So,

You mean I never even had a chance then?

What can I say?

You know, I've done things for you.

I've never even imagined doing for other
girls.

Here, look at this.

This is tomorrow's day Claire's.

Two weeks allowance.

For what?

So I might be given a chance to
humiliate myself in public again?

You see this?

This was our relationship.

First.

It was incredible.

And now?

It's just glock.

Oh, gross!

What'd you do, strangle a baker?

I keep the habit, Alfonso. I'm free of
her.

That's the last time I ever make a fool
out of myself for a girl again.

Don't make any rash statements until I
tell you what happened down at Burgers.

Alfonso, I know what happened at
Burgers.

I mean, after you left.

The girls went nuts over your palm.

They think you're so romantic.

Get out of here. No, three of them
wanted me to give you their phone

Are you serious?

Hey, I'm writing my own love poem right
now.

I'm addressing it to whom it may
concern.

Hello?

Yes, this is Rick.

Yeah, yeah, I guess I am pretty
heartbroken.

Do you know a word that rhymes with
arteries?

Tomorrow night.

Yeah, that sounds like fun.

Of course, I think I'm going to need a
lot of comforting.
