We're going to find

our

way together,

taking the time each day.

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

Let's go together.

You and I together.

We're going to find our way.

Send Mrs. Stratton in.

You wanted to speak to me? I finally
decided to tackle these employee

forms. Oh, that's wonderful. It's about
time.

Your employees like to know where they
stand.

Guess who's the first person to be
evaluated?

Me? Well, like you said, my employees
like to know where they stand. Sit down.

Initiative. You score a big ten.

Leadership, also ten.

Organization, nine.

Legs, 15.

Edward.

Cooperation, seven.

Seven? Well, it's basic, Kate. You don't
take orders well and you ask questions

all the time.

Well, what's wrong with that?

See?

Anyway, this report merely confirms what
I have suspected all along.

What's that?

That you are an excellent executive.

Oh. But you know, Kate, the lifeblood of
a toy company is new ideas, and we

can't afford to sit back and relax.

And as you also know, the head of
research and development has been vacant

months now. Now, to fill that spot, we
need someone with flair and imagination.

And I think I know the perfect person.

Me.

Well, of course. I started out creating
toys. That's where I belong.

You know, Kate, I come into this office
and I feel as out of place as a clown at

a board of directors meeting.

Well, that's not surprising. At the last
meeting, you did serve them coffee and

dribble cups.

Yeah, that was a good one.

Well,

I think it's important for me to go back
into development.

But who's going to run the company?

No. Yes.

Your evaluation form says you'd be
perfect.

Even though I got a seven for taking
orders?

Presidents don't take orders, they give
them.

But, President, I don't know. I mean,
it's such a big responsibility.

Why don't you try it for six months?

Why only six months?

Kind of a trial period for both of us.

Oh.

Okay. I'll do it. Well, then it's all
settled. Yeah.

Congratulations. Well, thank you.

I can't believe it. Me, president. Well,
believe it, Kate. From now

on, you're calling all the shots.

You are running the show.

Really?

Really.

Now, here's what I want you to do about
that Wexler.

I didn't tell Becky Randkin that you
liked her. Then how'd you find out?

Maybe it's the way you drool whenever
she walks by.

Hey, guys, do you mind? I'm trying to
work here.

Oh, sorry, Dad.

What are you working on?

Oh, a new product for Eddie Toys.

Um, I don't know how to tell you this,
Mr. Stratton, but, uh, the yo -yo's

already been invented.

Alfonso's helps me to think, you know.

Creativity is tough.

Yeah, not to mention dangerous.

Hey, maybe I could follow your dad
around instead of my Uncle Dexter.

What are you guys talking about?

It's our school project for economics.

You see, each kid has to observe the
head of his household at work and then

write a short report on it. That sounds
like fun.

Yeah, I can hardly wait to get home.

My Uncle Dexter's going to teach me how
to read the tax table.

You know, son, this project of yours is
coming just at the right time, what with

me moving into product development and
all.

You're going to get quite an education
following the old man around.

Dad, I was thinking, you know, I want to
follow Kate around.

Oh?

Well, I want to be near the top where
all the really big decisions are made.

You understand?

Yeah.

Sure.

I haven't seen you before.

I'm Janice, Mrs.

Stratton's new assistant.

Oh, that's right. She said she was going
to hire a new secretary.

Assistant.

Excuse me.

Do you have an appointment?

Appointment? I don't need an
appointment. I sleep with your boss.

Hi -ho, Prezzo. How's it going?

Fine, except that I'm right in the
middle of a meeting.

Oh, I'm sorry. This won't take long.
Danny, Jim, do you mind?

Boy, every time I come in here, I can't
get over all the changes you've made.

Well, you should have gotten over it by
now because you come in here a lot.

Gosh, I can't believe you got rid of my
picture with the dogs playing pool.

Edward, what is it this time?

Presenting... Gary's Garage!

See,

it's a carry -along toy for young
children. You open it up and it's a

complete with tools and workbenches, a
little miniature girly calendar.

Kidding, no calendar.

Anyway, there's a waiting room over
here, you see, with little greasy

they can read.

Cute, very cute. Yeah, well, it's all
outlined in my report.

I think we can set up a prototype
production line. Shouldn't cost more

,000 tops.

Well, I'll read this, and we can talk it
over at dinner. Terrific.

Oh, I won't be home until 7.

No problem. I'll cook.

Really? Sure. What's your favorite
dinner?

We'll make it pot roast.

Kate told you I was cooking, huh?

Yeah, she did.

What? She sure works a lot of hours.

Yes, I know.

Boy, it was exciting watching you work.
I was going to make a great school

report. I bet.

She just closed that major account
you've been after, the Corwin account.

No, no, no, the Klaus one? No. She got
the Coughlin account?

Yeah, yeah, that's the one.

Really? Yeah.

Dexter seemed pleased. He couldn't stop
saying, oh, oh, Dexter.

big one well i'm not surprised you're
doing so well i personally groomed her

this position dad everyone agrees that
you making her president was the best

thing you ever did for that company well
dad i mean one of the best things

dad what i meant was i'm gonna finish my
report now

So sorry.

You couldn't call?

I was going to, but one thing led to
another, and is that meat?

It was.

I'm sorry I was so late, but I closed
the Coughlin account.

I heard.

Congratulations.

So, what do you think of my new toy?

Oh, I didn't get a chance to read your
proposal.

Fine. You can read it now while I get a
chainsaw to cut you a piece of meat.

Could you make that to go?

Huh? Well, I only stopped by to pick up
some papers.

I've got to duck out for another
meeting.

It's almost nine o 'clock. Who are you
meeting with tonight, Watchman?

It couldn't be helped. Some Japanese
suppliers are on a layover on their way

Europe, and tonight was the only time
that I could meet with them. Honey,

you think you're going a little
overboard with this job?

Overboard? I'm trying to run your
company.

I never worked hours like this.

You also never closed the Coughlin
account.

I shouldn't have said that.

You wouldn't have said it if you weren't
thinking it.

Now you're telling me how I think?

I think I'll do my own thinking, thank
you, and you can do yours.

Well, I think you ought to start
thinking about Rick.

What about Rick?

I think he hasn't noticed you've been
spending an awful lot of time at work.

Well, did he say it bothered him?

Not in so many words.

But he's a 16 -year -old child, and he
needs to have you home once in a while.

Face it, Edward, it's the 40 -year -old
child who needs me to be home.

What? It's not Rick, it's you.

You're the... the one that wants me here
at home curled up at your side.

So? So, get a Cocker Spaniel.

Want to take a ride to the pet shop?

Could I trouble you for the cream?

Thank you.

Morning, Max.

Oh, morning, Rick.

Oh, don't forget your lunch. I made you
a sandwich with gruel today.

Hey, you don't have to go to all that
trouble.

No trouble at all.

I like to take care of my home and my
family.

Ha!

I guess now isn't a good time to ask
questions for my report, isn't it?

Any time is a good time. Ask away.
Great.

Okay, what is your biggest problem at
work?

How did your meeting go with Yamaloy
Plastics?

Oh, I'm glad you asked.

It went very well.

In fact, they were so impressed, they
offered me a job.

Oops, there go your weekends.

It was a very lucrative offer, although
it would mean my having to relocate.

To Yokohama?

No, to their new plant in Chicago.

Oh, come on, Kate, wise up.

is tricking the book. They're buttering
you up so they'll sell you more plastic.

Oh, really?

Well, I've got news for you. They said
that I would... Let's skip that one,

I'm by me.

Heard all I want to hear about Yamahoy
Plastics.

Good morning, all.

So, how did it go with the Yamahoy
Plastics?

I'm leaving.

Was it something that I said?

I've got to go, too. I've got a meeting.

Oh, of course. It's 8 a .m. You've
wasted half the day.

No, just the moments I've spent with
you.

Oh, yeah!

Dexter, things haven't been the same
since Kate became president.

Oh, you can say that again.

The puppet picture's looking better.

There's a feeling of optimism in the
air.

Ah, Dex, I wouldn't mention that to my
dad.

I'm talking about the way they fight.
They've never fought like this before.

A couple squabble all the time, Rick.
Don't worry about it, pal. I can't help

it. Look, Kate came home late last
night, went straight to the guest room

screamed. Why?

Dad was already sleeping there.

Ah, Edwards.

How are things developing in
development?

Slowly. I'm waiting for an audience with
Mrs. Stratton.

Oh. Come on, Edward. She is the boss.

I know. It's gone to her head, sending
out all these memos and calling

making changes. She even took down my
picture with the dogs playing pool.

Thank goodness.

I thought you liked that picture. I did,
when you were the boss.

Mr. Stratton, we'll see you now.

It's about time.

Not you.

You. Thank you.

I won't be a thing.

Dexter! What?

Sit. Why?

Because. I'm sitting, I'm sitting.

So that's the reason we evaluate market
trends in toys.

I'm sorry, but I don't have all day.

Rick.

Are you going to make a habit of
breaking into my meetings?

Meetings? You're talking to Rick.

Dad, I was just getting information from
my school report. It's due tomorrow.

Oh. Well, you'll get to see how
invaluable new products are to the

this company, providing Madam President
has read the report on Gary's garage.

She has. In fact, I just went over it
with the budget committee. All right.

do we go into production with Gary's
garage?

We don't.

What? Look, we reviewed it carefully. It
was not dismissed lightly.

Dismissed? It took over an hour to shoot
it down, Dad.

The budget simply can't handle it. I
mean, we're trying to cut the fat as it

By 22 .3%, to be exact.

Gary's garage is not fat. Give me one
good reason why we shouldn't make it.

Well, it costs too much. There are
similar toys already on the market.

a poor track record with automotive
toys. I said one.

Look, um, I think I should leave now.
No, Rick, please stay. You can see how a

company runs aground from short
-sightedness.

Or you can see how a company sinks under
the weight of spending too much money

on silly whims. The only whim I ever had
was making you president.

Is there an ancient whim?

You're right.

It was a whim.

You never wanted me to run this company.

What?

All you wanted was someone to take care
of the little details so that you could

play with your toys.

Details? I made you president.

Dad, could you please slow it down?

You made me president in name only. All
you wanted was a figurehead to rubber

stamp your ideas.

And most important, get home by six.

You never, ever took me seriously.

Well, I know someone who will.

Huh? Yamahoy Plastics in Chicago.

What are you talking about?

You can be your own president again. I
quit.

You know, I've been thinking it over,
and I really do like that picture of the

puppies playing pool.

Oh, morning, Rick.

Morning. It doesn't look like you
dressed for Chicago, Kate.

Oh, well, those things don't happen
overnight.

In the meantime, I've got a court book
for the entire day.

Great. Yeah. Oh, and tonight I'll take
you out to dinner.

Better yet, I'll cook you a meal that'll
make your head spin.

Dad already cooked me one of those.

I've even got some time to take you to a
museum, some art galleries, maybe catch

a ballet or two.

Two?

I just want to make up for some time
that I haven't been able to give you.

Well, Kate, if you have all this extra
time, how about reading my report?

I'd love to.

I hope you don't mind I wrote it about
Dad.

Oh. Well, you quit, you know.

You're right. I did quit.

Makes perfect sense to write about your
father.

Did he really say that I was the driving
force behind the company?

Read on, Kate. There's more.

Well, what do you think of my report?

I'm confused.

Did Kate really say I'm the...

Driving force behind the company?

He's there in black and white.

Rick, I'm really enjoying this.

Did you read this?

Uh -huh.

Fabulous report.

Thanks. I'm going to get my books now.

You know, I've been thinking... You
first.

No, you first.

Ah, well, it, um...

It occurs to me that I've been
overreacting.

Well, maybe we both have.

No, no, no. I've been worse.

Okay, you've been worse.

Maybe I was trying to have my cake and
eat it, too.

Having fun noodling with my toys and
expecting you to run the company and the

house. playing the neglected husband,
acting like a jerk, and you can stop me

anytime you want to.

Ruth.

Ruth.

How can I be mad at anyone who

calls me the...

Driving force behind the company.

I thought you said that about me.

For a kid who hates homework, he sure
been busy.

Yeah, he wrote two separate reports.

Oh, Rick!

Okay, Dad, maybe you didn't say she was
the driving force, but you have to admit

she did a fabulous job.

I never said you did.

Come, come.

Today's the day business week is doing a
cover story on Eddie Toys. Come on,

Edward.

No, Dex, you don't want me.

I beg your pardon?

You want the press.

Well,

I'm not going to need this report on
you, Dad.
