Here we are, face to face, looking for the silver spoon.

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

Making it go, making it grow. Together, we're gonna 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 I together.

We're gonna find our way.

You and I together.

We're gonna find our way.

You and I together.

could turn into a giant frog.

Freddy, Freddy, hey.

It's okay, buddy. I'm just kidding.

The joke's on you, Mr. Stratton. I was just pretending to be scared.

Well, it's late, guys.

I already stretched the rules letting you stay up to watch that rotten trash.

Besides, I didn't want to have to suffer through it alone.

You sleep, right?

Okay, Dad. Okay, good night, son.

Good night, Dad.

Rick, what are you doing?

Dad, the guys are here.

What's wrong with hugging?

Can we talk about some other time?

Good night, Father.

Good night, son.

Freddie. Good night.

Good night.

Good night, JT.

So we decided to seize a golden opportunity.

We got us a mess of frogs.

How many frogs are there in a mess?

I don't know. Four, five? A dozen?

Listen, guys, I admit this is a pretty funny joke, but isn't it kind of mean?

Yep.

our Herculean efforts, we've been unable to suppress the occasional giggle that

rises to our lips.

I'm sure that you've experienced the same phenomenon when you were a youth.

I did, Derek.

And usually when I giggled like that, it meant I was up to no good.

This man is wise.

Excuse me, Dad. I have to go to the laundry room.

Why?

Well, it's a personal matter.

But believe me, Ask me for it later.

Bed. Right.

Sleep. Right.

You guys realize how lucky we are to have a wimp like Freddy to

kick around?

I mean, how many hundred percent nerds are there in the world?

Come on, lay off Freddy.

You know, Rick, you have a real serious flaw in your character.

what's that you feel sorry for the pitiful oh yeah i don't feel sorry for

Freddy thinks he's my friend.

Is he?

Well, what's the harm if he thinks he is?

Oh, come on. Is or is not Frederick March Lippincottleman your friend?

Derek? Yes or no?

No.

Thank you, Mr. Stratton. You may step down.

Let me catch some shut -eye. Yeah.

Guys, I went down to the laundry room.

The frogs have escaped.

I'm the one on the whimpering.

Thank you.

I think he's kind of cute, though.

I call him Bud.

I just thought I'd come here and say, this Bud's for you.

breakfast with JT and Derek?

Kate, why are you sitting on a wastebasket?

This is not a wastebasket.

It's now a club med for frogs.

Anyway, uh, the reason Freddie left was because the guy kind of pulled a rough

trick on him last night.

Let me take a wild guess.

Does this have anything to do with frogs?

The guy thinks that Freddie's a nerd, and they get on his case a lot.

Well, that doesn't seem fair.

I mean, he wears these stupid rubber things to keep his eyeglasses on during

class.

He has a plastic pocket protector with a printing on it that says, Hi, I'm a

lippin' coddleman.

Listen, Freddy's at a very awkward age.

It's very hard to be different from all the other kids.

They zero in on your shortcomings.

They taunt you and bait you and start calling you names like Stringbean.

Calls Freddie Streaming.

Or Ironing Board.

Or Carpenter's Dream.

Or Noodle Bog.

Kate. Oh, sure. They trick you into thinking that they like you and accept

by inviting you to their parties. But what happens when you get there, huh?

They give you a gag gift like a padded bra.

Then they point and laugh and say things like...

Honey, I had no idea.

Oh, I'm not being personal here.

This is just a general example.

Certainly it is.

I would never have called you Noodle Bob.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Rick, when the other guys make fun of Freddy, do you join in?

Yeah? Well, that'll make me a nerd by association.

That is no excuse.

You should stand up for him.

Well, that's one way to handle it, yeah.

Meaning you wouldn't handle it that way?

Meaning I think we should offer alternatives and let Ricky decide how to

it. What alternatives are there?

To help ruin a poor kid's life?

Guys... Kate, I don't think you realize that you're over -identifying with

Freddy here.

I realize that I am saying exactly what I think.

And I think you should tell your son to do the right thing.

I think I should let my son decide for himself what the right thing to do is.

Door!

I'll get it.

In this situation, there is a right thing to do and a wrong thing to do. Am

right or wrong?

Honey, do you see what's happening here? You're letting your emotional

involvement cloud your perspective.

Emotional involvement cloud a perspective?

Make up your mind, Edward. Are you a psychologist or a weatherman?

I forgot my shoes.

It's a question of moral leadership.

You have an obligation to tell your son to make the right choice.

Honey, I can't live his life for him.

Your son asked you for help and he's not here.

No, because I have confidence that Ricky will make the best decision for

himself.

You want to know something?

What? You're right.

You want to know something?

What? It takes a mighty big person to say that.

JT and Derek, they're your friends.

Listen, I don't blame you for being mad.

What we did last night was pretty low, and when I caved in to Derek and JT and

said I wasn't your friend, that was even lower.

But I want you to know that I'm... I'm sorry.

You're apologizing to me?

Yeah.

Really?

Can you put it on tape?

Don't push it, Freddy.

Okay.

Just accept my apology.

Okay.

Stop saying okay.

Okay.

You see, that's one of the reasons people pick on you.

Because no matter what they say, you always agree with them.

You're right.

You're doing it again. Oh, you're right.

try not to agree with everybody anymore.

Good.

Because I want you to know that I like you.

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

No, you don't.

Will you stop it?

Rick, you told me not to agree.

Rick, are you just saying you like me because you feel guilty?

No, I'm saying it because you have a lot of good qualities.

A lot of them.

A whole bunch come to mind.

I'm just trying to arrange them in proper order.

I'm ready when you are.

Okay, here it is.

You're a real generous person.

You loan people your money, your records, and your clothes.

This other quality is something I need to work on.

You're loyal to your friends.

I guess I am.

Listen, I think that Derek and JT would start to like you if you just stand up

for yourself.

I stood up for myself once, and I got beat up. Remember Sally Stevenson?

up to yourself doesn't always mean lugging the other person.

But what do I do when JT and Derek put me down?

Derek is always making fun of me.

Well, you've got feelings.

Don't let him get away with it.

Say something back like, look, Derek, if you want to have a put -down contest,

I'll take out my brain and we'll start even.

Ooh, that's a good one, Rick.

Hi, guys.

Hey, Freddy, if we knew you were going to come out of the bathroom, we would

have saved some breakfast for you.

Got any gravy train around, Rick?

Look, Derek, if you want to have a put -down contest, you take out your brain

and we'll start even.

Could have fooled me.

Hey, Derek.

Don't talk that way about my... friend.

Yeah, lighten up, Taylor.

What is this, a meeting of the Bleeding Hearts Society?

Come on, we've been making fun of this guy for years now. It's her tradition.

It's not my fault Freddy's only town is being a wimp.

Oh, yeah?

Thank you.

Together, taking the time of day to learn all

about those things you just can't buy.
