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.

All together!

I wish you'd knock before you come in. I did knock.

Long and hard and loud.

Well, I didn't hear you, Dad.

Well, I'm not surprised.

You'd go deaf listening to that kind of music.

What?

Just kidding, just kidding.

Well, I wasn't. Oh, come on, Dad. David Lee Roth is very, very in.

He's also very, very loud.

Now, I'll tell you what. Turn down the volume and no more screaming into the

hair dryer.

Come on, Dad. Think way back.

Come on, didn't you ever sing along to music?

Not into a hair dryer.

And any guy who did kept it a secret.

Son, would you do me a favor and straighten up the room? It drives Kate

huh?

Dad, if it's my room, why can't I have it the way I want?

Because when you live in our home, there are certain rules.

Now, get a rake and clean up this room.

I can't believe what goes on here.

I get no privacy at all.

Look, the next time I take a shower, I'll let you guys know you can sell

tickets.

Rick, I think you're overreacting. No, I'm not, Dad.

You wouldn't like it if Kay walked in on you in your birthday suit.

Well, would you?

Absolutely not.

Dad, it was humiliating. Rick, I didn't see anything.

Those things happen. It's all part of being a family.

Well, Kate, it shouldn't happen.

I don't go barging into your room. I didn't barge in. I mean, the door was

I was just trying to pick up a little. Kate, I like my things where I throw

them.

Rick. Dad, I think it's time for a change.

What kind of a change?

Dad, Kate, I'm moving out.

What do you mean? Hey, moving out. You're only 16.

Yeah, you're too young to go out on your own.

There's a lot of trouble you can get into.

Without half trying.

Muggers and robbers. And crazies. It's too rough out there, son.

Out where, Dad?

I just want to move into the guest house.

Our guest house? You mean out back?

Yeah.

Look, my loud music wouldn't bother you. You don't have to look at my messy

room, Kate.

Oh, he's got a point.

Well, if you're out there and we're in here, we're no longer a family.

That's not true, Dad. It's only 30 steps away. I counted.

Look, I'll visit whenever I smell food.

What about your curfew? What about study hours? What about letting us know where

you are all the time? Dad, I can still do that.

But living alone, you know, it's such a big step. Are you sure you can handle

it? Absolutely, Kate.

Come on, Dad, it's only out back.

What do you think, Edward?

Well, I guess we could try it.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks a lot.

I'm going to go start moving right now.

I'll help you.

Dad, Dad, Dad, if I'm old enough to have my own place, I'm old enough to handle

the move by myself.

I decided to handle this move by yourself.

Thanks for the help, Dad. Just put them in the corner, okay? Okay.

I think I'll just stay here until my body returns its original shape.

There.

How did that look, huh?

Looks pretty good.

Edward, I mean the picture.

It's going to be so great living here on my own. By the way, I hooked up this

intercom, right?

Dad, what do I need an intercom for?

Oh, so you can talk to us whenever you want.

Well, I'll just walk over. It's only 30 steps, Kate.

Well, we want to talk to you.

Well, then you can walk over. What about your privacy?

How does this thing work?

All you have to do is push this button when you want us, and we buzz when we

want you.

Fine.

Okay, then, guys, I guess that just about does it, huh? Yeah, looks pretty

Yeah, it does.

Well, I can't wait to be alone.

Oh, remember,

if there's anything you need, just buzz. I will, Kate.

Well, son, I guess it's goodbye.

Dad, I'm not leaving the country.

I'm not even leaving the yard.

I know, Dad.

How are things over there?

So far, so good.

You sure?

I'm positive, Dad. Everything's fine. It's so nice to hear your voice again.

Oh. Well, goodbye, Rick.

Goodbye, Dad.

This is really rad.

Pretty nice, huh?

Nice? This is beyond nice. You've broken new ground here.

Your aunt digs at 16.

Wow. Your own entrance.

You'll make the teenagers all a thing.

It's not that big a deal. Come on. Are you kidding?

Even Sean Penn didn't move out of his parents' house until he married Madonna.

Well, Madonna had her own place when she was five.

I heard that.

It'll be great. No one telling me what to do. I can't get over this. You really

pulled it off on your own.

No parents looking over your shoulder, no one watching your every move. No one

bugging you.

What was that?

What, what, what was what?

That, that, that buzzing sound.

This is really weird, man. This is exactly how poltergeist started.

It's coming from, from over there.

Oh, you guys mean the, the intercom.

Yes.

I'm here, Kate.

Speak up.

I'm here.

I'm making some cocoa.

Do you want some?

No, thank you, Kate.

Okay. You got enough blankets?

Kate, I'm fine.

Towels? Toilet paper?

Kate, I don't need anything, okay? I'll speak to you tomorrow.

Okay.

Love you too, Rick.

You want a marshmallow in your cocoa?

All right, all right, all right. Come on, guys.

There's no way to treat our good buddy, a guy who's always there when we need

him. Frankie, whatever you want, the answer is no. All right, look, just hear

out. See, I've been dating this girl, Melissa.

A real knockout.

I met her.

So what does that have to do with me? Well, we've been dating a while, but

never been alone together, if you know what I mean.

And I thought maybe tomorrow night you'd let me bring Melissa over here.

Hey, that's a terrific idea, Rick.

No, no, can I bring a girl over the next night, Rick?

Wait a minute, you don't have a girl. Not now, but with this place, it

take long.

Hey, well, I got a girl.

Kind of.

Look, guys, I didn't move out here just so you could bring girls over, okay?

Oh. I am disappointed in you, Rick.

Do you think I'd come over here without bringing someone for you?

What do you mean?

I mean Melissa has a friend.

A friend? Uh -huh.

Her name is Candy.

Huh? Huh?

Candy.

And this candy won't give you any cavities.

I meant...

So what do you say? I'll bring them over at 7 .30?

Well, I won't be back till late. I have a science club meeting.

Oh, well, that's okay.

Why don't you give me the key and we'll wait for you?

Frankie, I don't know.

Think about candy, huh?

Oh, um, sorry I'm late. You know, my science club meeting ran long.

I had to put away all the frogs.

Hey, that's all right.

We had things to do.

Melissa, this is Rick, our landlord.

Hi, Rick. You've got a terrific place here.

Thanks.

So, Frankie, is it just you two?

Not exactly.

Rick, this is Candy.

Wow.

Hi, Rick. Is this your place?

Yeah, it's all mine.

You're so lucky.

Boy, you can say that again.

We were just looking at the tennis court.

We?

Uh, yeah.

This is my friend Davey.

Nice place you got here, Nick.

That's Rick.

Whatever.

Frankie, can I talk to you, please?

This is not exactly the best time, Rick.

Did I show you my new earring? Well, hey, let me see.

Stop that, Davey.

Hey, wait a minute, Nick.

That's Rick.

You wouldn't have any romantic music, would you?

Ang, could you dim the lights, please?

Throw it in. Throw it in. This is a great way to do homework, huh? Yeah, it

Come on, Eric. Deal, let's go. All right, I bet it was a he -man poker,

hate that game. I'm tough.

Dealer's choice. All right, two, three, fours, eights, and tens, wild jacks, and

set it open.

Sorry, guys, we have no more popcorn.

What, no more popcorn?

You mean the stores are all out?

No, I don't get enough allowance to cater a party every night, guys. Oh, you

can't take this all on yourself, pal.

We'll chip in. I appreciate that, Frankie.

Here's my IOU for a quarter.

I don't have any paper, so I owe you an IOU.

Yeah, me too.

Do we have any more potato chips?

I'll go check.

Okay, and try and get the kind with the ridges. They go better with dip.

And get some dip.

Whoa. I didn't know anybody was going to be here.

We'll come back later. Hold on. Let me ask you something. How did you happen to

have a key to my place?

Frankie gave me one.

Frankie?

Frankie. Yeah?

You gave my key to a stranger?

He's no stranger. He's in my remedial reading class.

Besides, I still have your key.

That was a copy, see?

I don't believe this.

Hey, we're still waiting for the potato chips and the dip.

Well, excuse me.

How long has it been going, Kate?

Who?

Rick, how soon you forget?

He's only been gone two days.

You raise him, you worry, then they leave you.

He's only out back in the guest house.

What's the first step, Katie?

Another year or two, he'll be away at college.

And then he'll be home for summers and vacations.

Yeah, unless he meets a girl.

Next thing you know, he gets married.

They have children.

You'll never see them either.

Hi. Are there any more potato chips, Kate? Oh, sure. You come running back

you need something.

Huh? Don't pay any attention to your father, Rick. He's just upset because

don't bring the grandchildren around.

Look, I'm sure there's some logic behind this, but right now I need potato

chips. That's all.

I think you and your friends ate them all.

There's some pretzels in the pantry.

Boy, you guys are working up an appetite.

What are you studying, anyway?

Um, you know, the...

The usual, you know, kings and queens.

Pretty boring.

I better get to it.

Good night.

Good night. Good night.

Guy's been studying all night. Wonder if they ever take a break.

Hey, boo!

I don't believe this.

even gonna have this much fun on a school night i've never seen so many

women in my life we're showing these people too good a time we ought to

admission after a few weeks we'd have enough money to put a hot tub in here we

ah but that'll come later you know i wouldn't be surprised if you ended up

elected class president what do you suppose going on out there sounds like

they got tired of studying

for one minute, okay?

Guys, it's my father.

Is that you, Dad?

Yes. Well, what can I do for you, Dad?

Well, you can start off by telling me what all that noise is about.

Noise? Yeah, sounds like there's some kind of party going on.

A party?

Hey, what happened to the party?

Just make sure it wraps up by 11, okay?

Okay. And thanks, Dad.

Sounds like Rick's study group has suddenly gone co -ed.

Maybe I ought to take a look.

Why, he's doing fine.

That's what I'm afraid of.

What are you going to do, go out there and peek in the window?

Certainly not.

You see my binoculars around here anywhere?

Hi, Dad. Hi, Kate.

Hi.

Boy, this is a nice, quiet room.

So warm and cozy and comfortable.

Guess you just don't appreciate something until you've left it, huh?

Ah. How are things out at your place?

Well, it was going okay until the poker game got out of hand. Then when the girl

showed up, Dad... Girl?

What kind of poker were you playing?

Maybe you should move back in.

Well, she has a very good point, Dad.

You're saying things are getting out of control?

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Well, what do you want me to do about it, Rick? You want me to go out and

up the party for you? No, no, I wouldn't want that.

I mean, if my dad comes out and breaks it up, that'll make me look like a nerd.

What are you going to do?

I think I'll call the cops.

I mean, if the cops come break it up, I'll be a hero in school tomorrow.

I don't think that's a very good idea.

Well, come on, Dad, what else can I do? I can't kick out my own friends.

Well, are they being such great friends right now?

Sure they are.

Besides breaking my lamp, wrecking my tapes, and turning me into a butler.

Not so great, I guess.

I think you should go out there and tell your friends how you really feel.

Right. And then they're going to tell me how they feel.

You know, moving out wasn't such a good idea after all.

Well, Rick... Okay.

And I wish you luck, son.

Thanks.

Why did you do that? I mean, I thought you wanted him to come home.

I do.

But he wanted to run home.

That's a big difference.

I want him to go out there, Kate, and face his problems like an adult.

I want him to learn to stand on his own two feet like a man.

Then I'll make my little boy come home.

Hey,

what

are you doing?

Turn it back on, Rick. The party's over.

Will someone call the cops?

No, no one call the cops. I want everyone out now.

What a bummer, Nick.

Yeah. Come on. What is this?

Come on, guys.

Hey, hey, hold on, buddy.

Nick, if anyone has a key, please put it in here.

Thanks a lot.

You should know how to kill a party.

Boy, some friend you turned out to be.

I think you can kiss the class president goodbye.

What do you want?

This place is a mess.

You know, if you're going to live by yourself, you've got to learn to be a

little neater.

What? I'll help you clean it up this time.

Don't make a habit of it.

What, you mean we have to help, too?

Yeah, who knows?

We might get invited back sometime.

Yeah, as soon as I change the locks.

Oh, as long as you're going to be changing the locks.
