All language subtitles for Silver Spoons s03e06 I Wont Dance.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 I.

Rick, that was a great game. Yeah, we
should have won it. Oh, don't blame

yourself. There wasn't anything you
could do.

Tubby Putterman was on their side.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

It's tough to score when the goalie's
belly's bigger than the goal.

What do you say we get some sodas and
watch a Humphrey Bogart movie?

Sorry, Dad. I've got to come up with an
idea for a history project.

I know.

And if you don't do your homework,
you'll regret it. Maybe not now, maybe

tomorrow, but truly, and for the rest of
your life.

That's great, Dad. Now do Bogart.

How come you're studying so hard?

Do you know what you need on your
scholastic aptitude test to get into a

like Harvard?

You need $1 ,300 combined.

Needed $2 ,000 to get into my alma
mater, Aspen Junior College.

I thought $1 ,600 was the best score
possible.

$2 ,000.

That included lift tickets.

I graduated at the top of my mountain.

Dad. I'm sorry. Come on, what do you say
I help you think up a project?

Okay, now it's got to be on the history
of American business in the 20th

century. I want it to be spectacular.

You should have seen Calvin Plotkin.

What'd Calvin do?

His topic was industrial revolution.

He built a miniature assembly line using
toothpicks, mice, and gerbils.

Sounds like a real rat race.

Dad, history is not funny.

Right. I got it. We both know somebody
who is the history of American business

in the 20th century.

People often ask me, what is the secret
of success in business?

There is no secret.

Business is the result of hard work.

When others are playing, I am working.

When others are sleeping, I am working.

And when I am sleeping, I am dreaming.

Of working.

Business is competitive, ruthless, and
brutal.

And I love it.

Thank you.

Well, that certainly was
straightforward.

stir a muscle until your teacher
dismisses you.

Why, thank you, Mr. Stratton.

Class is dismissed.

Great job, Grandfather. Are you
surprised?

Your teacher has that rare combination
of great, charming, good looks

and keen and brilliant intelligence.

Yeah. But she gives a lot of homework.

She makes me think of a teacher I once
had a crush on.

Her name was Lurt Turkey, and I've often
thought of calling on her, but by now

she'd be 114 years old.

Mr. Stratton, thank you for a lively
presentation. My pleasure.

It was Richard's idea.

You know, I still can't believe that a
man who was on the cover of Time

spoke to our little class.

I like to maintain my contacts with
academia.

And as for you, I was very impressed
with you as a teacher.

I was particularly impressed by the calm
with which you faced that gerbil with

the hard hat when he ran across the
floor.

That's been happening all week.

I shall probably return.

Goodbye. You like her, don't you?

Well, she has very stately grace, yes.

Did I mention she's not married?

I assume that, or she would not be
called Miss Budden.

I could ask her out for a date. A date?

Yeah, and take her out to a movie.

The last movie I saw was in 1940,

Boomtown.

Come on, ask her. What's the worst that
could happen?

Well, I could suffer massive rejection
and total humiliation.

Is this the man whose personal license
plate says Crusher?

I suppose I could ask her to dine with
me tonight.

But I'm sure she's busy.

Come on, Grandfather, ask her.

Well, look.

Yes. All right.

Oh, wait a minute. Here.

There.

She's bugged him.

There is a restaurant in Manhattan that
I am seriously considering purchasing.

It's important to me that I should
obtain an objective view of the quality

the food in that restaurant.

I thought perhaps you could supply that
this evening.

Mr. Stratton, are you asking me out for
dinner?

Affirmative.

Very short notice, and you're busy, I'm
busy. Goodbye. No, it's just that

tonight is my meeting at the
Foxtrotters. The Foxtrotters?

That's my ballroom dancing club. Last
year, two of our members were rudder up

the Harvest Moon Festival.

Well, that is very creditable. Goodbye.

Tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night?

I'd be delighted.

Dine together tomorrow evening at the
restaurant Castor.

Oh, dear, isn't that very expensive?

Oh, not very.

Round two and a half million.

I

love it

when we're together like this.

Oh, I could stay here all day.

Couldn't you?

No.

No? My leg's asleep.

Oh! Ah!

Whoa!

wear sneakers.

Gentlemen dress like gentlemen.

Is he still seeing your teacher? Yeah,
two weeks and they're still going

Gee, my father's going steady.

I think it's wonderful.

Thank you.

What do you mean, thank you?

Well, you're forgetting I'm the one that
convinced him to ask Ralph.

What if, thanks to me, they fall in
love, get married, and have a baby?

Good times together.

Well, if you did fall in love, how would
you know it?

Oh, you'd know it.

Good afternoon, all.

Well, Father, you look positively natty.

Thank you.

Well, it's such a...

Splendid afternoon.

The sun is shining.

Birds are chirping.

And you, Miss Summers, look positively
radiant.

So do you. It's the handkerchief.

So, Grandfather, where are we going
today?

Well, it's such a beautiful day, I
thought we'd visit the Stratton

ball -bearing factory.

I can hardly wait.

Did Joanie call me?

Joanie?

Miss Bugden, all right?

Father, tell us about your main squeeze.

Joanie is not a squeeze.

She's a highly intelligent woman who
hangs on my every word.

However, she does have one liability.

She keeps asking me to dance.

Well, that's terrific.

I hate dancing.

Why? It's an absurd activity, totally
unproductive.

And I don't know how.

I beg your pardon?

I don't know how.

He doesn't know how.

There, I've said it.

Father, why don't you learn? Yeah, try
this.

Ouch!

Ouch!

Rick, I think your grandfather's going
to need something a little...

Could I be the woman?

Good plan.

And why don't you take it a little
slower?

Better plan. Yeah.

There.

Lead with your left.

Forward.

Side.

Back.

Together.

Forward.

Side.

That's easy.

Anybody can do that. That's wonderful.

No.

The aroma of your perfume is absolutely
overwhelming.

Father, I want to stick to the dancing.

Well... Hi, Miss Bugden.

Yes, I finished my homework.

Yes. Did you get my memo?

About dining with Gerald and Betty Ford?

Uh -huh.

What? You say you can't make it?

Well, can't someone else judge that
dance contest?

Oh.

I see.

All right.

No, I understand.

I understand.

What's the matter?

I've been dumped.

Are

you sure

she's dumping you?

She says it's not working.

We shouldn't see each other again.

That's a dump, all right.

I know how rough it can be.

I've been there once or twice.

Okay, once.

Father, maybe it's just temporary.

Yeah, my friends Bucky and Sue Ann, they
probably split up 10 or 15 times.

Please spare me those adolescent
analogies.

Joanie is not Sue Ann, and I am not
Bucky.

Blasted birds would shut up.

What have I done to deserve that?

You look so vulnerable.

Shakespeare's right.

Love sticks.

Wait a minute. You can't give up. Watch
me.

Oh, Ricky.

Right. I mean, you have to expect these
little flare -ups early in a

relationship. Father, if you really care
about her, you should go after her.

No, it would be futile.

I understand what the man meant, the
songwriter, when he wrote those

classic lyrics.

road.

Your assignment for tomorrow will be to
read chapter six of your tech, the bill

of rights and you.

Yes, Calvin.

I've already finished the book. Is there
another text you could recommend?

I have a suggestion.

What is it? Why don't you go home, watch
TV and eat some junk food?

in a list of books that you could read
for extra credit.

Class dismissed.

Rick, like to see you.

Well, that little outburst wasn't your
usual style.

Sorry, Miss Bugden.

I guess I'm a little upset because you
shot down my grandfather.

I have no intention of discussing my
personal life with a student.

Okay? Does it say anything? in the
Constitution about dumping his

I didn't even think he'd know I was
gone.

Are you serious?

He was thinking of renaming his private
jet the Spirit of Miss Bugden.

Really?

Rick, you know, I like your grandfather.

It's just that he's so wrapped up in his
business.

That's the way he is.

Every year I look forward to my birthday
memo.

willing to do the things that he
enjoyed.

For example, our last date consisted of
drinks, dinner, and a corporate

takeover.

I wouldn't mind if only he would be
willing to try some of the things that I

like to do.

Are you kidding? My grandfather's a
barrel of fun.

A large cup?

The other night I said to him,

tackle a pizza. And you know what he
said to me?

I do not eat any food I have to tackle.

Pizza would be a major breakthrough.

And then there's dancing.

It's my absolute favorite thing.

He'd never go dancing with me.

That's because he doesn't know how. He
was afraid to tell you.

Edward Stratton's a very powerful man.

I can't even imagine him.

Being afraid of anything.

See, my grandfather's real tough when it
comes to business.

But when it comes to his personal life,
he's really kind of shy.

I did notice he blushed every time we
shook hands goodnight.

You really mean a lot to him.

Will you come to dinner Sunday and see
him?

Well, I suppose he does deserve a more
detailed explanation.

Of course, I could just send him a memo.

We're having pizza.

Why didn't you say so?

I haven't felt as queasy as this since
the big crash.

You'll be fine.

Five minutes late, she's not going to
show up.

She'll be here.

I think I'll go mow the lawn.

Run away from a fight.

The last one's a romantics.

Hi, Miss Bugden.

Can I take your wrap? Hello.

And this is Kate Summers, Miss Bugden.
You know Rick.

Hello. Pleasure to meet you. Nice to be
here. Hello, Rick.

Hi.

These are for you.

Why, thank you.

African violets, I didn't know they were
in season. They are in Africa.

Miss Bugden, I'm glad to see you.

Really? Yes, and now, without further
ado, or hesitation, or procrastination,

I wish to ask you a question.

Would you...

Would I log it among?

Would you like to dance with it?

Well, that's very sweet of you, but you
don't have to.

I know I don't have to, but I would like
to.

It's not necessary.

It is necessary.

Then I'd be delighted.

Hit it, Rick.

He's really a very good student.

They look pretty good together, don't
they? Yeah.

I guess I've done it again.

Huh?

I simply asked about the dinner.
Whatever happens from here on is

them, because I'm staying strictly out
of this, and I'm strictly an innocent

firestand who had nothing to do with
this whatsoever.

Nothing. Nada, zero, zip, zilch.
