All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s04e16 Daddy Rick

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't know about those things you just
can't find.

Time fills the hopes together.

You and together.

I'm late.

Oh, what's your hurry?

I'm getting married today.

Why is the father always the last to
know?

It's for my consumer economics class.

Mr. Williams had us take compatibility
tests and he's announcing who got

with who.

What's that got to do with economics?

It's a pretend marriage.

You see, we pick careers which gives us
our income. Then we plan budgets and

stay within them.

Stay within a budget? That is a pretend
marriage.

We exchange vows and everything, you
know.

Till this course do us part?

I'm sure you'll be very happy together.

Whoever she is.

I'm hoping she's April Keating.

Why, does she have a good head on her
shoulders?

And a body to match.

I'm in a hurry, Dad.

Yeah, I'll drive you.

Fellow shouldn't have to walk to his own
wedding.

Whoa!

What about breakfast?

None for me, honey. I told you, I got
that meeting.

Yeah, none for me either, Kate.

Rick, I asked you this morning if you
liked your eggs scrambled.

Yes, but I thought you meant in general.

No, I meant specifically this morning.

I'm sorry, Kate, but I've got to run.

Yeah, he doesn't want to be late to his
wedding.

I can't believe you ended

up with April Keating.

It's not to believe we're a perfect
match.

Well, we better hit the books, Barbara.

This is gonna be fun.

Carol, why don't you take these?

I guess we better leave, too, honey.

Did you ever...

Call me honey again. I'll kill you.

Whatever you say, dear.

I love the way she walks when she's
angry.

Heck, I love the way she walks, period.

You're sorry you didn't get paired up
with April, aren't you?

What, me? No.

Heck no.

You're lying, aren't you? Yeah.

No offense.

Lucky for you, we're friends.

I'm just glad I didn't get paired up
with Carl Knudsen.

I sat next to him at lunch today.

Carl's a real quiet guy.

You've never heard him eat soup.

Okay, so let's see where we are.

Well, we add up all our expenses in that
column and our income from two jobs in

that one.

I already did that, and we come out
even.

Well, that's great.

With this budget, our happy home can
survive anything Mr. Williams throws our

way.

Not so fast.

We didn't open the hazard envelope.

Rent

control

overturned. Landlord raises rent 25%.
Oh, no.

Now what do we do?

One of us doesn't eat.

Which one?

with the biggest mouth.

Look at this.

I've got another way of saving money.

What's that?

Eliminate your makeup allowance.

There's no sense in throwing good money
after bad.

Come here.

Uh -uh, no.

I fell for that the last time. No, this
time is different, I promise.

Okay.

crack like that, and I'll finish this
course as a widow.

Yeah. Yeah, I believe you, too.

I gotta go. I'm meeting my boyfriend.

Boyfriend? You're cheating on your
husband already?

Come here.

Forget it. I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Kate wants to know if you're gonna have
dinner.

No, I'm meeting Alfonso at burgers.

He's meeting Alfonso at burgers!

Why didn't you tell her?

Well, I was going to, but then Beth came
over and we started doing our homework

and one thing led to another before I
knew it. You forgot!

Say, what's this with Kate?

She spent more time in the kitchen in
the last week than in the last year.

Well, son, there's a very good reason
for that.

And when I find out what it is, I'll let
you know.

Want to shoot a few baskets before you
take off?

Sure. Do it.

and just leave me high and dry.

Never mind.

So, how's life with April? Well, she's
conceited, stuck up in self -centers.

Just once, I'd like to discuss how good
I look.

How's Barbara?

Does she still follow you around like a
love -thick puppy?

Yeah, a Saint Bernard.

I can't take her any longer.

What you gonna do?

I'm going to ask her for a divorce.

I like to be there when you do. I've
never seen the St. Bernard show for

Chihuahua. See that?

Bye, Mr. Stratton. Bye, Mr. Stratton.

Bye, Brad. Bye, Alfonso. Hi, Rick.

Oh, good, you're home.

I was afraid you were going to be late.
I am making lasagna.

Oh, no.

I thought you liked my lasagna. Honey, I
love your lasagna, but Dan Andrews has

some tickets to the Knicks game. I told
him I'd go with him.

Oh.

Well, then I guess it's just Rick and
me.

Well, actually, it's just you, Kate.

You see, I had dinner on the way home
from school.

Who has dinner before dinner?

Well, Beth's coming over. We have to
work on our school project tonight.

You know, I have been feeling guilty for
months because I'm always going off to

meetings and never having a chance to
eat with you guys.

Oh, that's okay.

No, it's not okay.

There's no reason why I can't be a
homemaker and an executive, too.

And just once, I would like to see us
all sit down and have dinner like a real

family. Just once.

I'm free Sunday.

Me, too.

Then it's agreed we all eat together at
the same time, six o 'clock sharp.

Um, how about 5 .30? I was kind of
hoping for 6 .30.

Six o 'clock.

There's a close one.

Hi. Hi.

How's the little woman?

Okay.

I went ahead and did some work on our
project.

Oh, that's good.

I've been looking through the
classifieds for an apartment, and I

one we can afford.

It even has indoor plumbing.

Nice going.

Listen to this.

One bedroom, full kitchen near school.

That's great.

In case Mr. Williams throws a couple of
kids our way.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Beth, don't tell me nothing.

I hate it when something is wrong and
people tell me nothing. Now, what is it?

Forget it.

I hate forget it even more.

Come on, we're friends. You can tell me.

No, I can't.

What is it? Did you and Bill have a
fight?

I thought... I don't want to talk about
it anymore.

I knew it. You did have a fight. We
didn't have a fight.

Then what is it?

I can't tell you. Why can't you?

Rick! I want to know why you can't.
Because I'm pregnant.

Well, I guess you didn't have a fight.

I can't believe this.

How could something like this happen?

What I mean is, how could you let
something like this happen? It wasn't

something we planned.

But how could you even... We never
planned on going as far.

You wouldn't understand.

Yes, I would.

Well, every time we said we wouldn't...
Every time?

I knew you wouldn't understand.

Does Bill know?

Uh -uh.

Shouldn't you tell him?

No.

He'll just want to do something stupid
like quit college and marry me.

You don't quit school in your freshman
year.

You've got to do something, Beth.

Why?

This is my fault, not his.

Your fault?

Where was he while all this was... I
knew I shouldn't have told you!

How many people have you told?

Including you, one.

You haven't told your parents?

I know. That's a stupid question.

Are you going to keep it?

I don't know.

Are you going to give it up for
adoption?

I don't know.

Now, will you stop asking me all of
these questions?

I've got one more.

Are you sure you're pregnant?

Rick, women know when they're pregnant.

How late are you?

Two weeks.

Oh. Is that late?

I don't know. I think so.

Well, maybe you're not pregnant. Maybe
you're getting upset for nothing.

Go see your family doctor.

Are you kidding? He might tell my
parents.

What about those people who came to our
high school last year?

You mean that clinic?

They could help you.

I'm scared of doctors.

I can't even watch St. Elsewhere.

i'll go with you you do that for me hey
it's the least a husband can do

Yeah? Uh, can I get birth control
information here?

Yes, you can.

Birth control?

What are you doing?

These brochures will answer most all of
your questions.

Thanks. You know, this is refreshing.

We meet so many young people in here
who've never even heard of birth control

till it's too late.

I see.

Well, first, we're going to need your
name.

What do you need that for?

So we know what to call her.

But you'll tell my parents.

No. All information is held in strictest
confidence.

It's Beth.

Beth McMillan.

Good.

Now, the only other thing we're going to
need is this specimen.

I'll be right back.

Kidding.

Just kidding.

Did he do bedpan jokes, too?

Are you the father?

Me? No.

I'm just a friend.

Well, Beth will need to see the doctor
again in a week.

Right.

Also, if Beth wants to apply for any
type of financial assistance, she'll

this. It's proof of pregnancy.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot. Mm -hmm.

Come.

Oh, did you check all the pockets before
you take them to the cleaner?

Just mine. Last time I checked Rick's, I
found a dead frog.

That was when he was 11. He doesn't play
in the pond anymore, so go ahead and

check them.

Hey, so far so good. I found 32 cents.

I am thinking of having rice pudding for
this Sunday night dinner.

Oh, no.

Peach cobbler?

Dear God.

Hey, we'll skip dessert.

It's not that.

This was in Rick's pocket.

Pregnant?

Rick got Beth pregnant?

I can't understand it.

He used to tell me everything he did.

Well, didn't you have one of those man
-to -man talks? Well, yes, I did. Of

course I did. And I thought I did a
pretty good job of it, too.

Maybe I confused him with all those
charts and diagrams.

Excuse me. I'll be in the kitchen until
spring.

Rick?

Yeah?

Sit down, son.

Sure.

Why don't you sit down, too?

Good idea.

Rick, we've always had an honest, open
relationship, haven't we?

Yeah.

I mean, if you had a problem, you could
come to me.

And if I had a problem, I could come to
you.

Right.

So what's your problem, Dad?

And I don't have a problem.

Well, correct that. I have a problem,
but not as big as yours.

Is this a contest?

Rick, I was getting the clothes ready
for the dry cleaners, and I found this.

Oh.

So you know about Beth.

Yeah, I know about Beth.

We didn't want to tell anyone about
this.

I bet.

I can't tell you how shocked I am.

Yeah, well, it kind of took me by
surprise, too.

Wait a minute.

You think I'm the father?

You mean you're not?

Of course I'm not.

Dad, how could you even think that after
all those charts and diagrams you

showed me?

Well, I'm... Dad, I could not tell you
how shocked I am.

I misunderstood.

I'm sorry.

Did Beth tell her parents about this?

No. Well, I think it would be a good
idea if she did.

So do I, but she doesn't want to.

You're just going to go through this all
alone?

Except for me.

Rick, don't you think you're in a little
over your head?

Why? Just because I'm only 15 and I've
never been in this position before?

And I got a C - in Mr.

Boswell's sex education class?

Of course I'm in over my head, Dad.

What are you doing here?

Dancing.

You were supposed to meet me at the
doctor's.

I got 50.

Can I dance?

Yes. You can't pretend you're not
pregnant.

So you don't want to dance?

Hey, Rick, are you going to let your
wife down like that?

You know what I'm really sick of about
fossil marriage, Joe?

I wish I hadn't taken that dumb class.

Yeah, it's a real stupid course.

Get all the problems in marriage and
none of the benefits.

Ow!

Beth, you shouldn't be dancing like
that.

How about like this?

That can't be good for your baby.

What do you know about babies, huh?

Nothing. And neither do you, Beth.
That's the problem.

Wait, no!

I can't.

This is too big for you to handle alone.

And it's going to get even bigger.

Look, maybe it's time to talk to your
parents.

Not that again.

Yes, that again.

It's not like you can keep this a secret
forever.

Don't you ever stop. What are you...

Well, of course. This is our whole
everybody -get -together -sit -down -at

-same -table -for -dinner -for -a
-change night, isn't it?

No poker plan?

Hockey games?

Business calls?

Nope. We're just family.

Like June Ward and the Beaver.

How is the Beave?

Seems to be okay. Beth is coming over to
work on the project.

Oh, almost forgot.

I brought up some wine.

Chateau La Marguerline de la Bourgogne.

What does that mean?

Expensive.

Hi.

Hi.

How's it going?

Look,

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I don't want to talk about it.

Hey, you don't have to. I'm not kidding,
Rick. I don't want to talk about it. I

just want to do our homework and leave.
There's a party I want to get to, okay?

Okay. Sure.

Mr.

Williams gave me a gadget after that
night.

Try and control your excitement.

Mr. Williams gave me a hazard envelope.

Let's see what he's throwing at us this
time.

Pregnant?

Did you tell Mr. Williams?

No. Then how come we got this?

Relax. William, Mr. Williams made half
the girls in the class pregnant.

You know what I mean.

So help me, Rick. Have you squealed?

Beth, I didn't squeal. I keep my
promises. Now calm down.

Let's adjust the chart so you can make
your party.

Chapter 7 covers it. Come on.

I'll look it up.

Wow. Look at all this stuff we have to
buy. A crib, a mattress, mattress cover,

blankets, clothes, furniture.

And look at this medical expense. It's
$3 ,000.

It costs $3 ,000 just to have a baby.

No, that's got to be wrong.

It's right here.

Plus, you stop working for six months.

Our income falls in half.

No, it doesn't. It really does, Beth.

But we save on tuition for law school.

You won't be able to go.

I've had enough. I don't want to do this
anymore.

We have to. It's due tomorrow.

I don't care. I don't want to deal with
stupid budgets and checking accounts.

I don't want to deal with this class.

Why don't we go upstairs, huh?

How long have they been up there, Dad?

Son, when two women are together in a
bathroom, time stands still.

I guess you had a lot to tell Kate
about.

Edward, Rick... I'll be...

Taking Beth home.

She's decided to tell her parents.

Good for you.

I hope it won't be as bad as you think,
huh?

I hope you're right.

Rick.

I'm really sorry for the way that I
treated you.

That's okay.

What are friends for?

I'll see you later.

We'll keep your dinner warm.

That's supposed to be my line.

What'll happen to Bess now?

I don't know.

But at least now she'll have her parents
to help her.

No matter what she decides, life will
never be the same again, will it?
