All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s01e09 Honor Thy Father.eng

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

Open to find, we're two of a kind.

Make it a go, make 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.

You and me.

submission. Kate, when I started my toy
company, I vowed I'd leave no toy

unturned. Sorry, you never know where
the next great toy is going to come

Like, uh, what the heck is this?

It's a junior plastic surgeon's kit.

Introduce your child to a future career
in cosmetic surgery.

And give him hours of fun, too, as he
transforms

Betty before into Angela after.

Noses, chins, and silicone included.

Next.

What's that?

This? Oh, it's a really strange one.

It's called a yo -yo hat.

A yo -yo hat.

First we put it on, and then we wind up
the yo -yo.

Sounds like somebody choking a duck.

lot then, huh?

Yeah.

You know, the wonderful thing about a
bassoon is no matter where I am in the

entire house, I'll still be able to hear
it.

See, Derek, I told you playing the
bassoon doesn't make you a wimp. A wimp?

Uh, no, Rick, I think you misunderstood
me. I personally admire your son for

playing the bassoon, and I'm outraged by
our small -minded friends who ridicule

him.

is a sign of strength, not weakness. And
personally, I'm very proud of Rick that

he has a mind of his own.

I wish I'd said that.

Now, this man is so wise.

You, sir, are an inspiration.

Thank you.

Thank you for being alive.

I'll do the same for you and the
classmates who make fun of your B -U -Y

My B -U -Y -N?

Yeah. It's a bassoon up your neck.

And me, Miss Summers, just go on playing
with your dolls.

Father, what are you doing here?

You mean, why have I come to romper
room?

Sorry, Dad, but he cracks me up.

Edward, do you have anything in your
calendar for the evening of the 27th?

Not sure. Kate, would you check? Oh,
yes, on the 27th.

have the charity auction at the art
museum.

Cancel it.

What do you mean, cancel it? You can't
just walk in here and tell me to cancel

my plans.

Send them a check.

You and Richard are appearing that
evening at the testimonial dinner of the

Industrialist Foundation.

What's that?

It's a stupid and boring dinner where a
bunch of rich fat cats sit around and

celebrate themselves. What pompadou
shirt are they honoring this year?

No sale.

However, contrary to what your father
has told you, this is a memorable

occasion. I am the recipient of the
Industrialist Foundation Life

Award. Oh, you must be thrilled.

Delirious.

Now, I saw a Life Achievement Award on
TV once.

I think they were giving it to somebody
named Howdy Doody.

This is Howdy Doody. Hardly howdy doody
time.

That reminds me. I have to order some
string.

Excuse me.

As a climax to the occasion, there will
be a slide presentation outlining the

high points in my life.

Are they going to show pictures of you
as a child?

I was never a child.

My grandmother told me he used to wear a
bow tie with his diapers.

Sorry, but he cracks me up, too.

Here. What's this?

Speech you'll deliver with the slide
presentation.

How thoughtful.

Yes, you will deliver it as written and
refrain from ad -libbing.

I haven't even said that I would come
yet.

It is the custom for a member of the
family to deliver the award.

Dinner is at 7 .30 sharp, so on that day
you will ride your choo -choo a little

earlier.

Father, you're not listening to me. If
you want me to come to this banquet with

you, ask me. Don't order me. I've been
fighting your dictatorial attitude

me all my adult life.

What adult life?

That's it.

I can't talk to you.

So, what are you going to do?

Stand there and hold your breath till
you turn blue?

Edward, I am not going to beg you to
attend this banquet. You don't have to

me. Would it be so hard to say I would
be pleased and delighted to have you

me on this special occasion?

I will not stoop to obsequious
supplication. And you stop being

I am not being...

Can't you? Is that with an O or an A?

O.

You couldn't have just said stubborn?

Edward, are you coming to this banquet
or are you not?

Father, I am not.

And what's the good?

You'll just say he's your only son, and
I'll say don't rub it in.

And you'll say he's really trying, and
I'll say I certainly agree.

And after that, you'll say it's nobody's
fault, and I'll say poppycock, and I'll

walk right out of this room.

I can't be sure I was going to say those
things.

What were you going to say?

Those things.

Richard, my boy.

Every good intention.

When your father started to rant and
rave, he takes every piggly opportunity

blow his top.

He burns my butt.

Grandfather, you just wanted to ask him
nicely.

He wants to know what you care about
him.

Can't you make some kind of gesture?

Oh, there is such a gesture.

But I reserve it for truck drivers who
try to cut in on me on the highway.

You do that?

Why not?

I'm human.

You are?

Richard, since your father has declined
my invitation, you will deliver this

speech. I expect you at 7 .30.

Properly attired.

I'll send a limousine for you.

Grandfather, don't leave like this.

I want you, me, and my dad to have a
happy family.

Can't you just bend a little?

Willows bend noodles.

convince him.

Sorry, Rick. It won't work.

What are you

doing in there?

I'm donating this to the charity auction
tonight.

I thought I'd see what it felt like to
wear it.

What does it feel like? It'll never
replace wool.

I probably wanted to be with you,
Edward.

All I know, Kate, is that every time I
had something that was special to me, he

was always too busy to be there.

Now when he wants me to be somewhere,
it's like a command performance.

Well, he burns my butt.

Edward, if you want things to change,
somebody's got to take the first step.

Kate, if I went there, I can tell you
exactly what would happen.

The minute I got there, he'd start to
criticize me. Then I'd lose my temper,

the next thing you know, we'd argue in
front of everybody, and pretty soon the

whole evening would be a disaster.

Phil, let me borrow your rope. Thanks.

Kate, take the end of this. Now, see,
it's like a tug -of -war, Kate.

Pretend you're my father and I'm me,
okay? Pull, Kate, pull.

Now, see, we're always pulling against
each other. My father wants me to be

like him, and I want to be my own man.

So look what happens if I give in.

I lose.

Kate, I've got to keep pulling against
him. I can't let my father win.

Is Edward Stratton the second?

Although he's never been second to
anybody.

Well, it's customary for a member of the
family to present our Life Achievement

Award. So tonight I want to introduce to
you a young man who, along with the

award, is going to present a pictorial
history of the life of his grandfather.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

Master Richard Stratton.

Hello, Ian. It is indeed a privilege to
be here tonight on such a suspicious

occasion.

Gee, by the way, anybody know why the
punk rocker crossed the road?

Because he was a staple to the chicken.

fortune was taken by Edward Stratton I,
who invented the inner tube.

Banana head.

While still a young man, my grandfather
took over his father's outdated factory

and converted it into the largest
shipyard in the world.

This helped America in World War II, and
I'm personally thanked by President

Truman for saving...

contribution.

say something right now.

Uh -oh.

Something I've kept bottled up inside of
me for a long, long time. I'd like you

all to know how I feel about this man as
a father. Edward.

Tonight, I was going through some things
for a charity auction, and I found a

card that I made for my father when I
was only six years old.

never saw this because he was off on a
business trip.

Seems all my life I've resented the fact
that my father was off doing the very

things that you're honoring him here for
tonight.

I was hurt because he didn't spend more
time with me.

See, I wanted to spend all my time with
him.

But, as is obvious to all of you, and
now finally,

My father's time was well spent.

So, I'd like to present to my father,
Edward Stratton II,

this life achievement award.

Along with the words that I wrote to him
on that Father's Day so long ago.

Thank you, one and all, for bestowing
this award upon me.

It is much appreciated and long overdue.

I also want to answer certain impromptu
observations made by

my son.

First, you were late.

Second, Edward,

very, very glad that you are here with
us.

Together, we're going to find our way.

Together,

taking the time to stay.

To learn all about those things you just
can't buy.
