Well, I certainly hope I finish this
sweater by Brenda's birthday.

Well, you better hurry up. You only got
a week.

It's okay, honey. She can always use a
potholder.

Thanks, Mary.

Oh, you know, I can't believe Brenda's
going to be 16.

It seems like yesterday I was showing
you her baby pictures.

It was yesterday.

Every year about this time you start
dragging out the same old tired pictures

Brenda.

Last year, you couldn't believe she was
going to be 15.

Mary, do you remember your sweet 16?

Of course I do. Who would forget their
sweet 16?

Girl, my friends took me to this fancy
restaurant.

I got a lot of gifts. I got a picture of
Lester playing football, a picture of

Lester playing basketball, and running
track.

Well, what did Lester give you? A
picture of Lester playing football, a

of Lester playing basketball, and
running track.

Yeah, I want to remember my 16th
birthday.

Well, what happened?

reminiscing about our sweet 16.

Did you have one?

Uh -huh, but I had mine when I was 12.

What are you hiding under your coat?
Nothing, nothing.

Sandra, what are you doing with pom
-poms?

Well, I didn't want to say anything
until I actually got the job, but I'm

to be a Washington Redskins cheerleader.

You? But, Sandra, I thought you hated
football.

I do, but the game's on television,
which means... Lots of timeouts, which

lots of shots of cheerleaders, which
means millions of fans across America

get to see Sandra Clark up close and
personal.

Yeah. I got to run fast.

Lord, that child won't rest until she
replaces baseball as the national

Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!

What? What? What? What? The best thing
in the world that could possibly happen

today happened.

Billy D. Williams is moving into 2 -2
-7.

that. Nothing's better than that. Mom,
Calvin's going to the basketball varsity

dance and he invited me.

Well, that sounds like fun.

What that sounds like is a date. That's
what I said. Sounds just like a date.

A date?

Mom, we're just going to the party
together, but not really together.

I'm sorry, Calvin, but Brenda knows she
can't date until she's 16.

It's not a date.

What is it, Calvin?

It's a date.

Calvin. Hey, I'm sorry, Brenda. Your
mother's the fourth.

And, uh, may the fourth be with you.

Mom, I'm gonna be 16 next week. But this
week, you're 15.

Okay, wait a minute, Mom. You said I was
born a week late, right?

You would have had me on time. I'd be 16
already.

Then you should have come out when I
asked you to.

In a week, you're going to be 16. We're
going to have a sweet 16 party for you.

And that's when you officially...
Brenda!

Morning, honey.

Morning, Jessica. Morning, Daddy.

Aren't you forgetting somebody?

Don't you recognize the silent
treatment?

You know, I thought it was unusually
quiet around here last night.

You know, Brenda, if something is
bothering you, you can talk about it.

mother's right, Brenda.

Is she always right?

No, not all the time.

But most of the time.

Can I go to school now?

Not before you finish your breakfast.

Daddy, would you please tell my mother
that I already had some cereal?

If somebody wants to talk to another
person, they should do it directly.

Tell her, Lester.

Goodbye.

And I think you ought to try to
understand our side of this before you

drive me crazy.

All right.

Goodbye.

I gotta run, babe.

Honey. Honey.

Do you think I'm wrong? Of course not,
babe.

Then why do I feel so bad?

Because our little girl is growing up,
and there's nothing either one of us can

do about it.

We could lock her in a room.

Okay, okay.

You're right.

Get on to work.

Bye,

Rose. Bye, Rose.

Great morning, isn't it, Mary?

Nice morning?

Boy, what a lousy day. You got any
orange juice over here?

Brenda's not talking to me.

Oh, the old silent treatment.

Mm -hmm. I tried that on my mother once.

What happened? She toasted my room.

There's got to be another way.

I wish you had told my mama that.

Who is that?

Come up here.

What in the world?

I'm so excited. I think I'm going to
explode.

Well, don't do it in here. I just
vacuumed.

Well, at the tryouts, they graded me on
a scale of 1 to 10, looks 11, cheers 3.

Oh, well, you can get better.

Oh, no, 11's kind of horrible.

I was talking about your cheers.

Oh, I took care of that last night. I
stayed up all night and worked out a new

one. You want to hear it?

Oh, Lord.

Now, picture me on the sidelines in
front of 70 ,000 screaming fans.

What do you think, Barry? You think I
got talent?

You got guts.

I know one thing. When I have kids, I'm
not gonna make them follow any stupid

rules. Yeah.

As a matter of fact, I'm not gonna
follow any stupid rules either.

Yeah.

Calvin, I'm going to that party with
you. Yeah.

I mean, no.

What do you mean no? I thought you
wanted me to go with you, Calvin.

I did. I mean, I do.

Look, I just don't think you should take
the risk.

It's only a party.

Besides, you don't want to make your
folks unhappy, do you?

for looking out for me.

Calvin?

Calvin?

A girl named Jennifer Sands called you.

It must have been a wrong number.

Well, anyway, the wrong number says
she'd be happy to go with you to the

tonight and you can pick her up at
seven.

Brenda, I can explain.

Brenda, I can explain.

Hey, sugar.

Where's your mother?

Who?

You know, the lady that hangs around
here got the same last name as you.

She left a note saying she went to some
church meeting.

Hmm.

What's the matter?

Nothing. Does this nothing have anything
to do with your mother?

Come on in the kitchen. Let's talk about
it. I'm starving.

Get the bread for me, sugar.

Daddy, he doesn't understand what it's
like. living with their dumb rules.

Now, wait a minute. Don't put all this
on your mother. They're my dumb rules,

too. So you do think they're dumb?

I used to when I was your age, and my
parents laid it on me.

What about now?

Well, now I don't think the rules are so
dumb.

Besides, being a good parent means
making rules and enforcing them.

Can't you bend them a little?

Uh -uh.

Rules don't bend. They just break.

Now, listen.

I know you think we're being a little
rough on you, but these are rough times

for us, too.

What do you mean?

Well, your mother and I are losing
something that's very dear to us.

Our little girl.

Daddy, your little girl's not going
anywhere.

She's already gone.

And now it's a whole new life with the
beautiful young lady that's taking her

place.

That's my little girl. I mean, my young
lady.

Feel better?

Except for Calvin.

Oh, what about Calvin?

I hate him.

Why'd he have to invite Jennifer Sands
to that party?

Well, I guess it's because 17 -year -old
boys do stupid things. Did you? Well,

your daddy was an exception to them.

Are you

having a good time, Gerald?

Smile.

Yeah, if your dad keeps taking pictures,
I'm going to need a dog to lead me

home.

have to take so many pictures?

Sure. Pictures are the nectar of life's
memories.

Did you make that up? No, the guy at the
camera store told me.

Hold it.

You know, sometimes I think these
parties are more for the adults than

for the kids. I know what you mean.

Where's the cake?

It's coming out in just a minute. And
ice cream?

Okay, as soon as I get the door. Okay.

Postaccio! Hi, Larry.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, that's okay.

Well, what is the matter with you? You
know, this is the first time in a week I

think I've seen you without those pom
-poms.

I burned them.

Oh, Lord.

You don't do it.

Sandra, what happened?

I didn't make the cheerleading squad.
They said I was too distracting.

Oh, to the crowd.

to the players.

Brenda, I'm sorry about the party the
other night.

Oh, I understand, Calvin.

I had a terrible time with Jennifer
Sands.

Oh, gee, I'm sorry to hear that, Calvin.

Okay, gather around, everybody.

Brenda?

Okay, we're here to celebrate the
transition.

Of our little butterfly, Brenda.

Who has finally escaped from the cocoon.

Where we nurtured her childhood so
carefully.

Brenda, may your flight through
adulthood be nurtured just as carefully

spirit. Happy birthday, baby.

Happy birthday, Brenda.

You are 16.

What's the first thing you're going to
do? Well, for starters, I'm going out on

my first date.

Ooh. Is that all right, Mom?

Um, okay.

You played by the rules, and so were we.

And we hope you and Calvin have a good
time.

Calvin?

My date's not with Calvin.

It's not.

It's not.

Brenda,

we got to talk.

About what?

About you going out with Darrell Miller.
Why?

He's nice, he's funny, he's smart, he's
considerate, he's popular, and he's

cute. Is that all you want from a guy?

Besides, he asked me, are you jealous,
Calvin?

Me? Jealous?

That's funny.

Besides, there's no way your parents are
going to let you go.

Oh, yes, they will. They gave me their
word.

You know we can't let her go, don't you?

We have to. Like it or not, we gave her
our word.

But that's when we thought she was going
out with Calvin, who's sweet, harmless,

innocent. And afraid of me.

Honey, I don't want to be one of those
overprotective moms, but I'll just

her till she's 20, okay?

Well, everybody's gone.

Thanks again for the party.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now, about
Saturday night.

You're not going back on your word, are
you?

Of course not, sugar.

But we do want to meet this young man.

Oh, sure, you can take my word for it,
though. Darrell is very nice.

Well, good. I love meeting nice people.

Okay, well, when he comes to pick me up,
can you please not embarrass me by

asking him a bunch of personal
questions?

I mean, Brenda!

What if you found a wallet and it had
hundreds of dollars, but you knew it

belonged to a bank robber?

What would you do?

Oh, I don't believe this.

Brenda, my goodness, I'm just joking
with him.

I mean, it's not like I asked him if
he'd ever been in reform school.

Have you?

No, ma 'am.

Mom, don't you think you've asked
Darrell enough questions?

That's all the jokes I have, Darrell.

How about you, honey? You got any jokes
to tell the young man who's taking our

only daughter out tonight?

No, not really.

Darrell seems like a nice enough young
man.

Thanks, Mr. Jenkins.

You know, I remember when I met Mary's
parents.

They grilled me with questions like,
what's your father do for a living? He's

insurance salesman. You have an after
-school job? I'm a box boy at a

supermarket. You believe in the Ten
Commandments? Daddy!

And I never would say, Darrell, what
your father said to me. Remember, son, I

know where you go to school.

Yes, sir, I remember.

Good.

Hey, Sandra. I love to have Mary. Oh!

Who's this young man?

I'm Miss Clark. This is my date, Darrell
Miller.

Oh! Nice to meet you, Miss Clark.

I've heard a lot about you. You can
believe everything you heard.

You can sit down.

Well,

you sure are in a good mood for somebody
who said they'd never smile again.

I got a date tonight.

Get out of here.

I told the lefty to tell me who he is.

What are you talking about?

He's number 99.

Oh, you counting your dates now?

No. He plays for the Washington
Redskins.

Scooter, fuck!

He got the greatest hands in football.

Can I pick him or what?

You two have a good time now, okay?

Hey, she's dating Scooter Pounce. We
better go now, Darrell, while we have a

chance.

Darrell!

Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs.

Remember, Darrell, take care of our
daughter. Yes, sir.

Do you have the quarter I gave you for
the emergency phone call?

Yes, Mom.

Remember that kick I showed you?

Mm -hmm.

Brenda's a great kicker, Darrell.

I remember that, Miss Jenkins.

Oh, bye, Mom.

Bye, Dad.

I'll be home by 11.

We love you. Love you, too. Have a good
time.

All right.

It's getting late.

Brenda's usually so punctual.

Well, will you sit down? She's not due
home till 11.

What time is it? 9 .30.

Now sit down here and let's snuggle up
and watch a movie on TV.

Honey, aren't you nervous?

No. I trust her daughter and her
judgment.

And besides, I think Darrell's a pretty
nice young man.

Those are the ones you can't trust, the
nice ones.

I was a nice one.

That's my point.

Do you remember how aggressive you were
on our first date?

Me? You're the one that wouldn't get off
the bus until I kissed you goodnight.

How could I? You were blocking the door.

Well, you were hard to resist.

I hope Brynn doesn't fall for that line.

Will you relax?

I'm surprised you haven't called the
theater and asked the ushers to check on

him. Good idea.

Remember what color jacket he was
wearing?

Well, will you get serious?

Okay.

Okay, I'll just sit here and look at TV.

Maybe to take my mind off my poor
defenseless baby. Hey, woman.

Now, I want to have a nice, romantic
evening. And I don't want to have it

I hope Darrell isn't trying that move.

And in a moment, our feature film, Young
Love.

The passionate story of two living
children whose romance...

Will you come in here before Brenda sees
you? In a minute, honey.

That was close.

Can we go upstairs now?

In a minute, honey. I want to see if
Darrell acts the way you did on our

date. Well, on second thought, a couple
minutes won't hurt.

Hold it, Darrell.

There's Miss Clark in her date, Scooter
Phelps. We better give him some privacy.

Are you kidding? I want to see the
legend in action.

Scooter won't appreciate it. Who's
talking about Scooter?

I think you better take a walk.

We shouldn't be doing this.

I can't hear anything.

You know, baby, you really know how to
make me feel like a man.

Darrell said Brenda makes him feel like
a man.

He said what?

No, don't say a word.

I've been waiting all my life for a girl
like you.

Someone so warm, so passionate, so
irresistible, so giving.

Giving?

What do you say we make this a night to
remember?

I'll give you a night to remember.

Sandra, who are these people?

227's moral majority.

We can explain everything.

I'm one of your biggest fans.

Get a pencil and some paper.

What are you going to do, Lester? Draw
us a picture?

Actually, I was going to ask him for his
autograph.

For when?

Forget it, Lester. Come on, Scooter,
let's go somewhere in private where you

tell me how irresistible I am all over
again.

for, and I saw Brenda and Darrell.

I hope you're satisfied. I'm going
upstairs.

I'll be up in a minute.

Well, looks like we're home.

Yeah, looks like.

I sure had a good time.

Yeah, me too.

I guess I better be going, huh?

Brenda?

Yeah?

How about a kiss tonight?

Daryl, I had a nice time, but I think we
ought to wait on the kiss.

Sure.

How long?

Until we both feel this right.

Right.

I guess that won't be tonight, huh?

I understand.

Night. Good night.

Mom, you can come out now.

Hi.

You're home, huh?

I bet it looked like I was, um...
Spying?

Actually, I was, um... Spying.

That's okay, Mom.

It comes with the territory.

Oh.

You know, I was really proud of you.

You were so mature.

Thanks, Mom.

Did you have a good time?

Yeah, I had fun.

Good. Let's go upstairs and talk about
it. Well, I'll be up in a minute, okay?

Okay.

Calvin.

Calvin, I know you're out here.

Hey, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Hey,

Brenda, I was just looking for my cat.

Calvin, you don't have a cat. And
besides, I saw you at the movie theater

again at the restaurant.

Coincidence?

Jealousy? Oh, no, me?

No, no way.

Uh, Brenda, I was wondering, if you're
not busy next Friday, If we could...

If we could go out?

Yeah. I don't know, Calvin. I'm going to
have to check my calendar.

Just kidding.
