All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s04e12 Three Musketeers

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 find.

Two silver spoons together.

You and I.

Together we're going to find our way.

You and I together.

We're going to find our way.

costumes you made for us don't look
right.

Whatever the problem is, I'm sure we can
fix it.

All right, so it needs a little
something.

We're supposed to be the three
musketeers.

We look more like Larry, Moe, and Curly.

And you didn't believe me when I said I
didn't know how to sew.

Okay, now I believe you.

The hats look great.

That's because you didn't touch them.

Let me see what I can do. Come on.

Why don't I just wear the French flag,
Kate?

It can't fit any worse.

Let's see what we can do.

Hey, look at this sign. This is real
neat -o.

Oops. Do you have any tape?

It's in the kitchen, the drawer by the
sink.

Wait a minute. Why is my name last?

Stratton, Spears, Lippincottleman. It's
in reverse alphabetical order.

Oh, okay.

Boy, I hope this play works.

I thought it wasn't for a grade.

It's for something much more important
than grades. You see, the drama club can

be a crucial extracurricular activity.

It can help get you into college, it can
build self -esteem, and it can get you

women.

Well, at least it's for a worthy cause.

You don't know how worthy.

This is our only chance to get into the
drama club. And if we do that, we get a

shot at all those big, beautiful actress
types.

That's what I like about you, Rick. You
dream big.

Doesn't it make you nervous that we're
asking Freddie to walk and hold a soft

object at the same time?

Come on, he's one of our best friends.

This is important to him.

That's right. That's why you're the
three musketeers, all for one and one

all, right? Right.

I found it.

Hello, everybody.

Oh, hi, hon.

Oh, what a mess.

Oh, heavy traffic?

Heavy? Let me put it to you this way.

Me and the guys in the cars on either
side of me are planning a reunion in ten

years.

I don't like them.

Hey, Dad.

Can you show us how to do the thing now?

What thing? The thing. The sword.

Ah, the sword thing. Sure. Why not?

I'm rested now.

Okay. Let's see now.

Now, of course, to do the sword thing,
you have to know a little French, you

know. En garde.

Of course, you can also say that in
English.

En garde.

The sword thing. Ready? Everybody
watching? Here we go.

All right.

The thing. Who wants to try it now? Me.
Let me. Let me.

I can't lock.

All right, Freddy. Now, all you do, bend
it down about so far, right? When it

pops up, you catch it by the heel. Okay?

All right. Now, wait.

Wait.

Okay.

Hey!

Freddy, that's perfect. Thanks.

I hope that wasn't something you liked.

Oh, no, no, no. It looks much better
down there.

There's a lot more of it.

I'll get it.

All right, all right, all right, all
right.

Hi -ho, Eduardo.

People. Troy, what is it?

There he is.

My son.

My son. What do I do now? Oh, I'm so
proud of you.

Eduardo, turn on that TV, quick. Channel
6.

What is it? What's going on? I just got
a call at my house a few minutes ago.

Come on, Eduardo, turn that puppy up.

On the domestic front, the plight of our
nation's homeless was the subject of a

press conference held by Speaker of the
House Thomas Tip O 'Neill.

This is it. This is what?

Shh.

Two million people in our country have
no homes.

To most of us, they become a faceless
statistic.

But these are human beings whose plight
was expressed in a touching letter I

received from a high school student.

Guess which student?

Way to go, Freddy.

Dear Mr. O 'Neill, I'm 15 years old and
I live in Shallow Springs, Long Island.

I spend a lot of time hanging out at the
mall.

My parents like to joke that I live
there.

But the only person that really lives
there is an old lady named the Duchess.

During the summer, the Duchess sleeps in
a planter box outside the mall.

In the winter, she huddles in the
underground parking lot near the boiler

By now, you've probably guessed it.

She really isn't a Duchess. I haven't
seen her there for a while.

And I'm worried.

Winter's coming.

Wouldn't you think in a country this
rich, nice old ladies like the Duchess

wouldn't have to sleep on the streets?

She doesn't need that much.

Just somebody to care enough to give her
a place to sleep.

Is that really too much to ask?

Sincerely, Frederick March Lippincottle
Man.

No, Frederick, that's not asking too
much.

With youth like you who care, this
country will always be great.

That was from our assignment in civics.
I can't believe it. Freddy Lippincottle,

man, coast to coast.

Only in America.

That was a wonderful letter, Freddy. It
was really honest and sincere and

caring.

You ought to be thrilled.

Yeah, this is probably the best thing
that's ever happened to me since...

birth!

Well, let's just hope that letter causes
some people to think. Think?

Oh, right, the homeless thing.

You know, it's too bad you boys didn't
make the network news.

It's easy to see where Freddy gets all
his sensitivity from.

It's all in the jeans.

I'll get it.

That must be the little woman.

I left a note on our door for Gorgeous
to come over here when she got back from

the beauty parlor. Not that she needs
it.

Hi, Debbie Thompson, New York World. Hi.
How did it feel to be on national TV?

It's not me you want. You want Freddy.

How did it feel to be on national TV?

When asked how he felt about his
newfound celebrity, the young man

This reaffirms my faith in democracy.

That's not what he said.

He said, this is real neato.

This is great for Freddy, isn't it? It's
just luck.

Dumb luck.

Hey, yo, Rick.

Yo, Alfonso.

Hey, way to go, Fred man.

See you guys later.

Those jocks were actually talking to
you?

Uh -huh. It's been happening all
morning.

Boy, my arm's getting so tired from
saying hello to everyone.

You know you can't say hello without
waving.

Oh, I don't want to change just because
I'm famous.

You're not that famous.

My dad says we all get one chance in our
lifetime.

And this is his.

Oh, man, that's Cheryl Ann Wilson.

It should be illegal to be that
beautiful.

She's headed this way. I told you doing
the Three Musketeers would get us women.

Hi. Hi.

Hi, Freddie.

I saw your picture in the paper this
morning.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

It's a cute picture.

I should have worked harder on my
letter.

This couldn't be just a letter.

Her mind must be under the control of
Martians.

Would you like to come to our play?

How about going out with me tomorrow
night?

We're doing the Three Musketeers.
There's action, adventure, romance.

So what do you say, Freddy?

Are you busy?

Oh, I'd crawl on my belly over cut
glasses to get close enough for you to

me.

That's cool.

Bye.

Incredible.

The most luscious girl on this earth
just talked to you.

With her own mouth.

I'll never wash my ears again.

You're the first guy she's ever talked
to who didn't own a car.

Hi, Freddie.

Hi. John Clark, Eyewitness News.

You're right, it is you.

Listen,

Freddie, we were wondering if I could
follow you around and get some shots of

your normal school day.

Oh, you mean shots like him opening his
locker.

Good. I like that.

Sit up right over here. Let's do that.

I usually open it up with this hand.

That's also the hand he waves hi with.

Listen, Freddy, we were wondering if you
could do a guest shot tomorrow on

Noontime New York.

Noontime New York? Yeah. That's a really
sophisticated show.

Oh, you bet. You'll be on with Mayor Ed
Koch and the Bill Baird Puppets. Oh, I

love those puppets. I'll be there.

Good.

Wait a minute, Freddy.

Noontime New York is on at noon.

That's when we have to do The Three
Musketeers.

Excuse me, sir. Yeah.

Can he do the show the day after? He
already has a previous commitment.

Wait a minute, Rick. I could talk for
myself.

I'll do the show tomorrow.

Good, good. What are you doing?

Get real, Rick. We're talking high
school play versus major media exposure.

That play's very important, Alfonso and
me.

And for you two up until a few minutes
ago, that was then.

You can't live in the past.

Times have changed.

I'm hot.

Okay, let's do it. Oh, my combination
won't get on TV, will it?

Oh, no problem. We're going to be on a
tight shot of your face.

Uh, listen, do you want your friend in
the shot with you?

Why? He didn't write the letter.

I did.

I said musketeer, not mousketeer.

So listen, you have the opportunity to
play a terrific part.

I'll get it.

Yeah, yeah, hold on, hold on.

Hiya,

Brad.

Hey, yo, Mr. Stratton.

Sorry to interrupt your praying.

It's all right, I was through.

I see you're into dirt.

It's my life.

So what do you think, Larry? It's going
to be great. Hello?

Hello?

Yo, Rick.

Brad. How you doing? So, uh, what's the
big problem? Oh, it's already punked out

on me. Do you think that you can learn
these lines by tomorrow?

Hark. Who goes there in the darkness?

That's perfect.

What projection, what intensity, what
feeling.

What bull.

Well, we've been through a lot together.

I mean, soccer team, camp out, crazy
Mrs. Allen science class.

Oh, yeah.

After we got through with her, she
decided to retire.

And she was only 29.

So, what do you say, buddy?

Hey, Rick, you know I'd do anything in
the world for you, but not this.

Okay, but when I've got tons of girls
hanging around me, don't come begging

my leftovers.

You still have three swords for two
actors?

That's a terrible brow with my last
hope.

Nobody wants to come near this thing.
They smell of disaster.

Well, why don't you ask your teacher if
you can postpone it? I already did.

She said the show must go on no matter
what.

Oh, how could she be so mean?

Why do you think she became a teacher?

Hi -ho, Kate.

Is Eduardo home?

You just missed him.

Well, then I guess we'll have to talk to
you.

Well, believe me, Edouard will hear all
about it when he gets back.

Hi, Rick.

Freddie Lippincottleman in our house?

What an honor. No matter how famous they
get, I'm not going to forget about my

friend. I just came over today to give
Eddie Toys the chance to cash in on

Lippincottlemania.

Lippincottlemania? Yep.

The Freddie poster.

What do you think?

Oh, I know. When I first saw it, I was
speechless, too.

It really chokes you up.

Kind of makes me gag.

Doesn't it, though?

So what do you think, Kate? Tell the
truth. You really love it, don't you?

No. You mean yes.

I mean no.

It's tacky, exploitive, insulting, and
in extremely poor taste.

Well, all right, but will it sell?

Troy, I don't think this is something we
want to get into.

Well, it's your loss.

Come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee,
tell you about our new syndicated

Letters from Freddy.

First one goes to Gromyko.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I have a play
to put on. Wait, can I talk to you a

minute, Rick?

Are you sure you can spare it?

Don't you have another interview or
something?

Please, it's important.

What is it?

Well, I wanted to talk to you about the
show.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, considering what I said earlier
today, this is kind of difficult for me

ask. Hey, it's okay.

Go ahead.

Would you videotape noontime New York
for me?

You have the nerve to ask that after you
left us in a lurch?

You are truly one of the most amazing
people who ever walked this planet.

I know your problem, Rick. You're
jealous. Me?

Jealous of you?

You could win the New York State
Lottery, marry Miss Universe, become

of the United States, and I still
wouldn't be jealous.

Well, if you're not jealous, can I
borrow your blue blazer for the show?

Out.

Out.

See, I knew you were jealous.

Freddie's a total jerk, a moron, an
idiot.

I hate his guts.

It's not good to keep that stuff bottled
up.

He let me down, Dad, just to be on TV.

They only wanted him because he lucked
out with that letter.

We were doing him a favor by putting him
in the play in the first place.

But that doesn't matter when you're a
big -shot celebrity.

I think there might be a little jealousy
floating around in here somewhere.

Freddy accused me of that, too.

Just because he's got his picture in the
paper, Sheryl Ann Wilson asked him out,

and he's being interviewed by reporters,
of course I'm jealous.

Well, jealousy can be a healthy emotion.

In certain primitive tribes.

Do you know what the real irony is?

I found Freddy in a trash can.

I remember.

His scout troop put him there.

I taught that nerd everything.

I made excuses for him. I let him tag
along.

And I was always there when he needed
me.

Why don't you at least try to understand
what he's going through?

Why don't you try to understand what I'm
going through?

For example, pretend that's a picture of
Freddy's father.

Now what do you think, Eduardo?

Turn that puppy up.

Let's try it one last time with you
playing both parts.

All right.

Hark! Who goes there in the darkness?

It's I, Aramid.

It's Aramid.

Approach and be recognized.

Did anybody ever tell you you look like
the guy over here?

We're dead meat. We're going to be
laughed off the stage. We're going to

go to another high school under assumed
names.

It's ready.

What are you doing here? Why aren't you
on TV talking with the puppets?

Wait till you hear this. I could do the
show after all. I canceled the spot on

Noontime New York.

Why? Well, my dad and I thought the
timing wasn't right.

I don't want to saturate the public
before I get a shot at the Carson show.

I can relate to that.

Can't you?

Personally, I would have started with
Donahue and then moved up to Merv.

The good news is we decided doing the
three months of theaters would not hurt

career since it's a theater and that's
TV.

And the bad news is we don't care.

All right, I'll admit it.

The reason I'm not doing the show is
they said I was yesterday's news.

They bought me for a guy who developed a
prune the size of a stove.

They said it was more visual.

Well, maybe someday they'll have you
back when they do the where are they now

segment.

What time do you want me to pick you up
tonight?

Oh, I forgot. I can't go.

I promised my mom I'd help her watch
television.

Oh.

Looks like lip and coddle mania has
peaked.

This is the worst day of my entire life.

And that's saying a lot.

Did you guys ever read my press
clipping?

We've seen it.

Sorry, we have a show to do in five
minutes.

Yeah, we're the two -month couture.

Hey, I know where you can find a third.

Who's got the costume, the hat, and
knows the part?

Kind of.

Hey.

Forget it.

Yeah. We'd rather make fools of
ourselves.

Wait a minute, guys.

I've been acting like a real bozo
lately.

You two guys are the best friends I
could ever have.

And I deserted you.

I don't blame you if you never want to
speak to me again.

I'm sorry.

Well, it's not all your... No.

Freddie, you really shafted us. Yeah,
but we weren't counting on you. You

like we didn't even exist.

Do you know what that feels like? Every
day of my life.

Let's go.

Don't say it.

I want a few more.

What would be the classy thing to do?

Keep walking and never turn back.

And why are we stopping?

We're marshmallows.

Hark! Who goes there in the darkness?

Tis I, Erebus!
